The Supreme Court rejected an appeal on Tuesday from a Christian college in Missouri that sued the Biden administration over a requirement to open dorm rooms and shared shower spaces to members of the opposite sex.
The College of the Ozarks asked the justices to block the Department of Housing and Urban Development directive that added "gender identity" to the definition of "sex" in the 1968 Fair Housing Act. "Because the college's faith teaches that sex is based on male-female biology, not gender identity, the college assigns its dorms, roommates, and intimate spaces by sex and communicates that policy to students," the college told the Supreme Court in its appeal.

Former President Donald Trump’s support appears to have softened following his indictment and arrest on federal charges, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS.
Most Americans approve of Trump’s indictment stemming from his alleged mishandling of classified documents after leaving office, even as 71% say politics played a role in that charging decision. Though Trump continues to lead the GOP field by a wide margin in the race for the Republican Party’s nomination for president, the poll suggests that his support has declined, as have positive views of him among Republican and Republican-leaning voters. Nearly a quarter now say they would not consider backing his candidacy under any circumstances.

The U.S. in early 2020 disrupted a plot by Russian President Vladimir Putin to assassinate a former high-ranking Russian spy turned CIA-informant in Miami.
The episode, reported Monday by The New York Times, illustrates another example of Putin’s hard-line toward perceived enemies that have played out in assassination efforts that take place inside Russia and across the world. Putin’s target was Aleksandr Poteyev, a former Russian intelligence official who in 2010 reportedly helped the FBI identify a network of Russian spies living in suburbs and cities along the East Coast, who were living under deep cover with false names and working ordinary jobs in an attempt to establish

Pixar film "Elemental," which features the studio's first "non-binary" character, according to a voice actor for the film, earned only $29.5 million in its opening weekend.
It was the lowest opening weekend ever for Pixar, The New York Times reported Sunday. That was despite creative direction from Pixar, one of the most famous studios in the entertainment business, and support from Disney, which owns Pixar.
Outlets around the country took notice of the movie's dismal performance. The movie "fell short of already-low expectations," Variety reported. "Pixar’s ‘Elemental’ falls flat," The New York Times headlined Sunday. The Hollywood Reporter wrote that the move was "iced by moviegoers" along with "The Flash,"

China is in talks to build a joint military training facility in Cuba, triggering alarm in the Biden administration at the prospect of Chinese troops within 100 miles of Florida's coast, according to a new report.
Discussions are at an advanced stage but are not yet final, and the Biden administration has contacted Havana in an attempt to head off the deal, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, citing current and former US officials. The officials said the plans were revealed in highly classified new US intelligence, which they said is being interpreted with varying levels of alarm by analysts and policymakers.

A Florida federal judge on Tuesday scheduled the criminal trial of former President Donald Trump for his alleged illegal retention of classified government documents to begin Aug. 14.
But experts do not expect the trial to begin nearly so early, given the time needed to resolve complicated legal issues before a jury could hear testimony and be presented with evidence. Trump, who is seeking the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, was indicted earlier this month on more than three dozen criminal charges related to his keeping hundreds of classified records after he left the White House in January 2021. If the trial date holds, it would come just over a week before

The first rule of Federal Indictment Club is: you don’t talk about your case. And the second rule of Federal Indictment Club is: you don’t talk about your case, period. You hire a good lawyer or two and let them talk about your case in public. The surest way to help the prosecution is to go on television and make a damaging admission about the key element of a charge.
Sort of like … this: TRUMP: ‘We never got this stuff, this back. Can we please, please, could we have it back?’
BAIER: And they did ask for it?
TRUMP: [crosstalk] They have no — no —

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s (R) team hit back at California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) after a continued back and forth between the state leaders, highlighting the Golden State’s population loss in response to the Democrat’s continued critiques of the Sunshine State.
Last week, DeSantis responded to Newsom’s latest challenge to a debate, telling the Democrat to “stop pussyfooting around” and challenging him to jump into the presidential race instead of chirping from the sidelines. “You know, it’s interesting. He’s [Newsom’s] got huge problems in his state. I mean, like, huge problems in his state. We all know that. I mean, you see it in San Francisco. You see it in L.A.

A federal judge issued a protective order Monday barring former President Donald Trump from disclosing on social media — or keeping — evidence set to be turned over to him by the government in the classified documents case.
The order against Trump and Walt Nauta, his co-defendant in the criminal case alleging he mishandled national security information, prohibits them from sharing evidence federal investigators are set to begin turning over to their lawyers as part of the discovery process in the case. "The Discovery Materials, along with any information derived therefrom, shall not be disclosed to the public or the news media, or disseminated on any news or social media platform,

On Saturday, Joe Biden arrived in Philadelphia, PA, to battle it out with Sen. John Fetterman for who is the least capable of doing their job. Before their trainwreck of a joint presser, though, the president took a question on US tensions with China while exiting Air Force One.
What he told a reporter in response was astonishing. Namely, Biden claimed that the Chinese spy balloon that traversed much of the continental United States wasn’t intentional and that CCP leadership wasn’t even aware of what the balloon was doing.
REPORTER: Can Secretary Blinken ease tensions with China on this trip, do you think?
BIDEN: Sure, well look…(long pause)…China has…(long pause)…

The Florida governor, his wife Casey DeSantis and their three children Madison, 6, Mason, 5, and Mamie, 3, were hosted by one of the sponsors of the Reno Rodeo in a box with premium views of the arena, where a slew of attendees could walk by and shake his hand or take a selfie. 'They're in the right place,' a rodeo-goer told DailyMail.com when asked how he felt about the 2024 GOP presidential candidate attending. Before bringing their kids to the rodeo, Ron and Casey stopped to drink beers with veterans

Ron DeSantis, wife Casey, and children Madison, Mamie and Mason attended Patriot Night at the Reno Rodeo in Nevada on Friday. Along with the Florida governor and Republican presidential primary candidate was former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt. Laxalt chaired Trump’s 2020 campaign in Nevada, but he is backing his old friend DeSantis this time. He also heads up the pro-DeSantis super PAC Never Back Down. This weekend marks the first trip to Nevada by DeSantis since he declared his candidacy. He is the first-ever presidential candidate to visit the Reno Rodeo. His family is on the road with him. His wife Casey and their three very young children provide
