WATCH: Hearing erupts after Dem chair tries to sidestep GOP transgender sports bills: ‘They’re petrified’

April 29, 2026 6:00am EDT / Fox News

HB 158 and HB 1849 would separate scholastic athletes by biological sex in the key swing state

By Charles Creitz, Fox News

The Trump administration, through the Justice Department, sues Minnesota over Title IX compliance issues, aiming to protect fairness in women’s sports. Collegiate softball player Kendall Kotzmacher shares her heartbreaking experience playing against a biological male, highlighting the need to protect female athletes’ hard-earned achievements. Many young people, including Kendall, support this stance, demanding change to ensure fair competition.

A Pennsylvania hearing on transgender sports legislation erupted in chaos Monday, as Republicans accused Democrats of trying to sidestep votes on two related bills.

Pennsylvania became a focal point of the transgender sports debate in 2022, as UPenn swimmer Lia Thomas competed against female athletes, including the University of Kentucky’s Riley Gaines. Since then, conservatives have sought to codify the separation of biological sexes in scholastic sports and public restrooms nationwide.

The top Republican on the Pennsylvania House Judiciary Committee told Fox News Digital that the scene captured on official video showed the Democratic chairman trying to “re-refer” two bills to the House Health Committee without fully explaining which bills he was citing.

Ranking member Rep. Rob Kauffman, R-Chambersburg, said that Republicans ultimately determined the two bills focused on separating scholastic athletes by biological sex and that Democrats resisted any debate before sending them to another committee to restart the process.

“It’s fascinating. But the key is, in the legislative process, whether it be on the House floor or in any committee meeting, they’ll say the number of the bill and then they’ll give a title or brief description of the bill before anyone votes on it. You don’t just call up a bill by number,” Kauffman told Fox News Digital in a Tuesday interview.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Timothy Briggs was doing just that in a Monday hearing, Kauffman said.

Briggs, D-King of Prussia, sought to move two bills out of the committee quickly, announcing that all Democrats would vote to re-refer them while identifying the measures only by bill number.

Republicans said they were unaware of the bills’ contents because their titles were not read as Briggs tried to re-refer them to the House Health Committee.

Briggs asked the clerk to call the roll for the “sole purpose of referring [them] to the Health Committee” and added that “all Democrats will be voting ‘Yes.’”

“Could we kinda know what the bills are?” interjected Kauffman, before someone in the gallery called out that they were related to transgender athletes in children’s sports.

HB 158 is the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act from Rep. Barb Gleim, R-Mechanicsburg, and HB 1849 is the related Dads Defending Daughters Act by Rep. Clint Owlett, R-Tioga.

Briggs sighed and began to speak before Kauffman continued.

“We can’t vote on a re-referral when we don’t even know what the title of the bill is. Obviously, you don’t want us to know what the title of the bill is,” he said, chuckling as Briggs cut in that the committee is “running out of time.”

Kauffman quipped that if he ever pulled such a move as chairman, Briggs’ caucus would have “lost your mind.”

After another pointed exchange between Briggs and Kauffman, the Democrat ordered the clerk to call the roll on the bills and then claimed aloud that some Republicans were refusing to vote.

One of those named, Rep. Stephanie Borowicz of Lock Haven, objected after learning the bills’ true identities:

“Now you’re deciding how we’re voting?” said Borowicz, who co-sponsored Gleim’s bill.

“We might as well be better off in the Russian Duma at this point,” Kauffman added as Briggs plowed through their objections and tried to move past the two bills.

The blow-up showed that Democrats are “petrified of this issue so much that they broke legislative protocol, parliamentary norms and everything I’ve learned in this legislature in 20 years,” Kauffman told Fox News Digital.

He said that if the bills were moved to another committee without first being voted out of his own, the parliamentary “clock” would restart and Democrats could continue moving the measures through committee without taking a direct vote on the underlying transgender sports issue.

Kauffman said the kerfuffle was indicative of the national debate over transgender sports, calling it an “80-90%” issue in favor of separating youth athletes by sex.

Kauffman added that Democrats will eventually have to confront the issue because the state Senate is advancing its own transgender sports bill, which will be taken up by the House.

“It’s a mom and dad issue. It’s a biological fact issue. So we’re going to keep at it,” he said, adding that critics are catering to the far-progressive fringe of their party and “generally don’t care what the people want.”

Fox News Digital reached out to Briggs for a response to the situation.

A representative for the King of Prussia Democrat said he was “regrettably unavailable” for comment.

The clash came just weeks after a Republican lawmaker’s attempt to define “woman” in a Women’s Month resolution led Democrats to pull the commemoration.

Fed likely to hold rates steady at what may be last meeting of Powell era

• Summary

• Fed officials ponder economic fallout from high oil prices
• Warsh expected to be confirmed as next Fed chief by Senate
• Powell may address whether he plans to remain a Fed governor

WASHINGTON, April 29 (Reuters) – The Federal Reserve is expected to hold interest rates steady on ​Wednesday as officials debate whether to flag risks of rising inflation in a policy statement issued after what ‌may be Jerome Powell’s final meeting as head of the U.S. central bank.

With oil prices high and rising again due to the U.S.-led war with Iran, policymakers ahead of the Fed’s latest two-day session said they were increasingly concerned that elevated energy costs could evolve from a one-off shock into higher underlying inflation, with interest rates needing ​to stay on hold longer than expected or, in the extreme, to move up.

Stalemated negotiations and the continued closure of the ​strategic Strait of Hormuz have pushed the global benchmark oil price again above $110 a barrel compared to ⁠about $70 before the U.S.-Israeli bombing campaign against Iran started on February 28. The Fed’s preferred measure of inflation is about a percentage point ​above the central bank’s 2% target, and the March numbers due to be issued later this week are expected to rise even higher.

Traders see little ​chance the Fed will lower rates before the middle of next year, in effect a bet against incoming Fed leader Kevin Warsh’s ability to convince his colleagues that rising U.S. productivity will translate into lower inflation and allow for looser monetary policy.

“The news since the last meeting in March – better labor market ​data but no change in disappointingly high inflation data – may shade the discussion a bit more hawkish,” but not so much ​that the Fed will hint at the possible need for rate hikes in its statement, said Michael Feroli, chief U.S. economist at JPMorgan. Surprisingly strong job ​growth ⁠in March pushed the unemployment rate lower to 4.3%.

POWELL ERA COMING TO AN END

The Fed’s interest rate decision and new policy statement will be released at 2 p.m. EDT (1800 GMT). Powell is scheduled to hold a press conference half an hour later.

Along with elaborating on the results of the meeting and answering questions about the economic outlook, Powell may well say more about his plans now that Warsh is ​expected to be confirmed as Fed ​chief by the Senate in ⁠time for the central bank’s June 16-17 meeting.

Warsh’s nomination began moving forward last week after the U.S. Department of Justice dropped a criminal investigation into a Fed building project that key Republican senators saw as a groundless ​attack on Powell and the central bank’s independence. The Senate Banking Committee is scheduled to vote ​on Wednesday to ⁠recommend Warsh be confirmed by the full Republican-controlled Senate.

Powell’s tenure as Fed chief ends on May 15, but his separate term as a member of the central bank’s Washington-based Board of Governors extends to January of 2028.

At a press conference in March, Powell said he would not leave ⁠the board “until ​the investigation is well and truly over,” but left open whether he might continue ​serving as a governor even if the probe was ended.

“I have not made that decision yet. And I will make that decision based on what I think is ​best for the institution and for the people we serve,” Powell said at the time.

Search suspended for missing crew members of U.S.-flagged ship that overturned during typhoon

April 29, 2026 / 6:59 AM EDT / CBS/AP

The search has been suspended for five missing crew members of a U.S.-flagged cargo ship that overturned near the Northern Mariana Islands during a typhoon, authorities said Wednesday.

Six people were aboard the 145-foot ship, called the Mariana. Divers on April 21 recovered one crew member’s body from the overturned ship.

“We are deeply saddened to announce that despite widespread efforts, we have made the difficult decision to suspend our search for the missing crew members of the Mariana,” Cmdr. Preston Hieb of the U.S. Coast Guard Oceania District said in a video posted on X. “We offer our heartfelt condolences to the families of the Mariana crew, as well as the entire Saipan community.”

The search lasted more than 100 hours and covered an area larger than the state of California, he said.

Last week, officials released dramatic video and photos showing members of the U.S. Air Force and Coast Guard searching for the missing crew. The footage and images showed pararescuemen preparing to conduct dive operations. The teams also used a remotely operated underwater drone to search the interior of the ship.

The search was stopped two weeks after the crew notified the Coast Guard that the ship had lost its starboard engines and needed assistance as Super Typhoon Sinlaku battered the Pacific island chain. The Coast Guard lost contact with the vessel the next day.

Heavy wind hindered initial search efforts, but the overturned ship was eventually spotted April 18 about 40 miles northeast of Pagan, one of the islands that make up the Northern Marianas, which is a U.S. territory.

The Coast Guard said debris included a partially submerged inflatable life raft was spotted about 110 miles from the ship.

“The five remaining crew members are still missing,” Hieb said.

Super Typhoon Sinlaku battered the Northern Mariana Islands, causing wind damage and flooding. Sinlaku had sustained winds up of to 150 miles per hour when it battered Saipan and Tinian, according to the National Weather Service. CBS News meteorologist Nikki Nolan said it was the strongest storm to develop in 2026.

The Senate Banking Committee will vote Wednesday on President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Federal Reserve, Kevin Warsh, in a key test of how much influence the White House can exert over the central bank.

If he clears committee, Warsh’s nomination heads to the Senate floor, where Republicans’ narrow majority leaves little room for defections if they want to place Trump’s pick at the helm of the Fed for the next four years.

The Federal Reserve operates largely out of public view, but its influence touches nearly every corner of the U.S. economy — shaping borrowing costs, job growth and inflation, making the outcome of his nomination a key moment for how that power could be steered.

Warsh’s potential ascent to lead the world’s most powerful central bank comes at a particularly volatile moment. The Federal Reserve is grappling with persisting inflation, economic ripples of the war in Iran and a looming Supreme Court decision over Fed Governor Lisa Cook — all while political pressure builds ahead of the midterm elections in November.

The path to a Senate Banking Committee vote on Warsh’s nomination was finally able to move forward after the Justice Department closed its probe into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell after months of scrutiny.

Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., withheld support for moving forward with Warsh’s nomination until the DOJ probe was resolved. Trump pushed back on closing the investigation, further raising questions about governance and oversight at the central bank.

The probe was related to potential mismanagement of funds during renovations at the Federal Reserve’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., and it unfolded despite Powell’s term as chair ending next month.

Powell, breaking from his typically measured approach, called the Justice Department investigation “unprecedented” and framed it as part of Trump’s pressure campaign on the Fed to cut interest rates and his fiery rhetoric against the chairman for his refusal to cave to that pressure.

https://www.foxnews.com/video/6387606251112

In March, Powell told reporters he has “no intention of leaving” the central bank until the DOJ investigation is “fully resolved with transparency and finality.”

His term as Fed chair is set to end May 15, though he is eligible to remain on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors for an additional two-year term. The Federal Reserve Board of Governors, known as the Fed board, consists of seven members nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate, who help set interest rate policy and oversee the central bank’s operations.

THE ONE LINE IN WARSH’S TESTIMONY SIGNALING A BREAK FROM THE FED’S STATUS QUO

Warsh has already signaled a clear break from the central bank’s current approach regardless of whether Powell remains at the Federal Reserve beyond his chairmanship.

In testimony before lawmakers on April 21, Warsh pledged to keep monetary policy “strictly independent” and said he intended to keep the central bank “in its lane,” warning that the Fed has become too involved in social policy.

He has also taken aim at what he sees as a complacent central bank, warning that large institutions are prone to inertia and that clinging to the “status quo” in a fast-moving economy is not just outdated, but dangerous.

At the same time, he has signaled openness to closer coordination with elected leaders and to work with the White House and Congress on nonmonetary matters — an approach that could reshape how the Fed operates in Washington.

How that balance is struck could define not only Warsh’s tenure, but the future direction of the institution that plays a major role in the financial lives of millions of Americans.

Man arrested after stabbing 2 people in north London, Jewish volunteer security group says

April 29, 2026 / 8:01 AM EDT / CBS News

A man has been detained after stabbing two people in North London, according to a local Jewish volunteer security organization.

The man was seen running along a main road in Golders Green, a heavily Jewish neighborhood, “armed with a knife and attempting to stab Jewish members of the public,” according to a statement by Shomrim, a charity that supports Jewish communities and runs a volunteer neighborhood watch program.

The group said members “responded immediately and detained the suspect,” who was then taken into police custody.

Police “attended and deployed a taser,” the said. The London Metropolitan Police did not immediately issue a statement on the incident.

Two victims were being treated by Hatzola, a Jewish volunteer emergency response organization, according to Shomrim.

CBS News’ partner the BBC reported that the two victims were Jewish men and “are currently being treated for serious injuries.”

Hatzola told CBS News it could not provide any information on the status of the victims, but it confirmed there was a “major incident unfolding.”

Hatzola operate on a separate emergency number to London’s municipal emergency services, and the group said it would let the London Ambulance service take over once they arrive on the scene.

Another local group, the Community Security Trust, said in a social media post that there “has been a knife attack today in Golders Green. The suspect has been arrested,” offering thanks to Shomrim, Hatzola and the London police “for their swift response.”

Speaking in parliament Wednesday while being questioned by lawmakers, British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer described the attack as “deeply concerning.”

“There is now a police investigation and I think we all need to do everything we can to support that … and be absolutely clear in our determination to deal with any of these offenses, the like of which we’ve seen too much recently,” he said.

The attack comes after a string of incidents over the past month targeting Jewish communities in north London, including an arson attack that saw several of Hatzola’s ambulances destroyed in the same area.

After another incident, an attack on a synagogue in northwest London on April 18, the U.K.’s chief rabbi, Sir Ephraim Mirvis, said the “sustained campaign of violence and intimidation against the Jewish community is gathering momentum.”

On Tuesday, after an attempted arson attack in the same area, the head of policing in northwest London said: “We recognize that this incident will heighten concerns in the Golders Green area, where residents have already faced a series of attacks.”

“Since last month’s attack in Golders Green, we have stepped up our work to reassure communities,” he said. “This includes armed police patrols as well as deployments of officers from Project Servator, who are specially trained to spot anyone who may be planning or preparing to commit criminal acts.”

美国阿片危机受害者出庭泪诉 普渡制药遭严厉指责

2026年4月29日 17:16 / 联合早报

（纽瓦克法新电）美国阿片类药物危机受害者在法庭上作证，控诉制药公司普渡制药长期生产成瘾性止痛药，导致无数家庭破碎。法官已裁定公司须支付超过80亿美元（约102亿新元）赔偿，并最终解散。

美国政府数据显示，1999年至2023年间，美国约有80万6000人死于阿片类药物（Opioid）过量。

普渡制药（Purdue Pharma）与其他制药商被指自上世纪90年代起大力推销奥施康定（OxyContin）等处方止痛药，并隐瞒成瘾风险，从中获取巨额利润。

司法部调查的结案听证会原定星期二（4月28日）以线上方式进行，但新泽西州纽瓦克市的法官阿尔莱奥在看到法院外有抗议者后，将听证会改为线下举行。

阿尔莱奥对一名向她表示感谢的受害者说：“这是我力所能及的。”

约40名受害者及家属在听证会上发言，另有多人通过线上参与。

一名少年的母亲死于阿片类药物，他坐在他父亲旁边对法官说：“因为我妈妈去世，我患上抑郁症，还产生过自杀的念头。”

他还指责长期掌控普渡制药的萨克勒家族（Sackler family），他说：“我希望你感到愧疚。”

多名家属讲述亲人从服用处方止痛药开始，逐步依赖，最终转向海洛英或芬太尼等更强烈的毒品，走向死亡。有人失去子女，有人婚姻破裂、背负高额医疗费用，也有人因成瘾入狱或接受精神治疗。

阿尔莱奥形容证词“令人心碎”。她在宣读200多名受害者姓名后，要求普渡制药高层道歉，并代表政府致歉，直指监管失守，将企业比作“犯罪组织”。

这项判决为普渡制药破产和5月初解散铺路。后续业务将由“Knoa Pharma”公益机构接手，提供戒瘾治疗与解毒药物。

部分受害者反对和解方案，认为这将让萨克勒家族免于刑事追责。尽管争议仍在，法庭认为相关安排已是目前最可行的方案。
