Caitlin Clark is gearing up for her first appearance in the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup on Friday, and if she plays like she did for the Indiana Fever this past month, Team USA may be impossible to take down.Clark’s August in the WNBA was a spectacle to behold, as she once again made league history with her phenomenal play.For starters, Clark scored or assisted on 44.7 points per game, a WNBA record for a single month. The stellar point guard has always had a knack for either finding the bottom of the net or dishing assists to her teammates to get the job done.CAITLIN CLARK, INDIANA FEVER GO INTO FIBA WORLD CUP BREAK WITH BIG WIN OVER CONNECTICUT Either way, those numbers were racked up throughout the month of August, and more history followed.Clark became the first player in WNBA history with back-to-back 30-plus-point and 10-plus-assist games.They both came in the final two games for the Fever before this international break, scoring 34 points with 12 assists in a 111-91 win over the Connecticut Sun.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! The Missouri Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously blocked newly enacted Republican-backed congressional districts from being used in November’s midterm elections, ruling that voters must first approve the map in a statewide referendum.The ruling marks a rare setback for Republicans in a national redistricting battle. The GOP had aimed to use Missouri’s new congressional map to help them win an additional seat and hold onto its slim House majority.The court ruled that the referendum petition, filed in December after opponents submitted more than 300,000 signatures, prevented the new districts from taking effect unless approved by voters. DEMS DERIDED TRUMP’S MIDTERM GAMBLE — UNTIL HE ENDED UP WINNING BIGRepublican Secretary of State Denny Hoskins waited until primary Election Day last month to reject the petition, arguing that the referendum process cannot be used for congressional redistricting. A lower court sided with Hoskins, but the state Supreme Court overturned his decision.”The referendum petition was legal, sufficient, and timely, and the secretary incorrectly concluded otherwise,” the court said in its ruling. The measure with the new districts “did not go into effect and will not go into effect unless and until approved by the voters.” Now, the congressional…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! HBO’s new superhero series “Lanterns” drew criticism from some viewers who accused the studio of overhauling a beloved character’s origin story to focus on modern racial discourse and privilege.Episode 3, titled “OutKast,” reframes the franchise’s traditional emphasis on “fearlessness” through the experience of a Black man in America, prompting some critics to accuse the show of sacrificing classic comic book lore for social justice commentary.In DC Comics lore, Green Lanterns are intergalactic peacekeepers chosen by alien power rings that seek out individuals with the innate ability to overcome fear. In “Lanterns,” that standard is reframed as an unfair burden when applied to Stewart.BELOVED ‘LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE’ FACES WAGONLOAD OF ‘WOKE’ ALLEGATIONS OVER NETFLIX REBOOT “Do you know the differences in race on Earth?” Stewart’s mother, Bernadette, asks an alien Guardian of the Universe who has taken the form of an older White woman. “Do you understand how unfair it is to ask a Black man in America if he’s afraid?””We are terrified daily of persecution and still show up, sometimes better than everyone around us,” Bernadette says, adding, “Even in space, y’all don’t consider us.”Rather than being chosen as an…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Jennifer Aniston and boyfriend Jim Curtis’ chemistry was on full display Wednesday evening when the “Friends” star interviewed the wellness coach about his new book.While the 57-year-old kept it professional as she questioned him about his life and how he came to write his self-help guide, “The Book of Possibility,” their connection was undeniable.The “Friends” star later revealed that she was overcoming a “very deep, deep fear of public speaking” by interviewing him, to which Curtis told her, “You’d never know it.”‘FRIENDS’ STARS JENNIFER ANISTON AND COURTENEY COX SOAK UP THE SUN DURING MALLORCA YACHT GETAWAY The actress started out the 30-minute interview by reminiscing about how she used to come to gym class in the building where they were sitting, the 92nd Street Y in New York City, and play dodgeball, which wasn’t her favorite thing, since she wasn’t “sporty.””So, it was me just knowing that I was going to go into — it was dodgeball, the huge red balls, and I’d just walk into the room and there’s no like yard. It’s a building, so you just have to run for dear life, cover for dear life. Stand as far…

A bipartisan group of lawmakers is pushing the Army to explain why it is shuttering a specialized drone battalion less than a year after establishing it, a move that comes as conflicts across the world have become increasingly defined by unmanned aerial systems and electronic warfare.The 600-member “Unmanned Assault Battalion,” created as part of the 173rd Airborne Brigade, was charged with learning tactics and skills from Ukraine’s more-than four-year fight against Russia and applying them to the U.S. military. In a letter, legislators expressed concern that eliminating the battalion was another sign of the Defense Department’s “uneven and inconsistent” support to Europe and Ukraine, and they questioned how the U.S. would continue to learn drone warfare from the Ukraine theater.“We have deep concerns that eliminating this specialized drone unit will limit our ability to learn from allies, particularly the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and hinder our efforts to modernize drone warfare at the speed necessary to compete on the modern battlefield,” Sens. Jeanne, Shahee, Thom Tillis, Angus King and Rep. Michael Turner, said in the Sept. 1 letter, provided by Sen. Shaheen’s office.“This specialized unit was a prudent response in a moment when the character of warfare is changing faster than…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! A new study warns that driving after eating cannabis edibles can significantly impair road performance and reaction times, even if blood tests show THC levels far below the legal limit.The findings, published in JAMA Network Open, highlight a potential challenge for impaired-driving enforcement in Canada and some U.S. jurisdictions.Most previous cannabis-driving studies have involved smoked or inhaled marijuana, which more rapidly spikes levels of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol, the main psychoactive compound in cannabis) in the bloodstream.AMERICA HITS MAJOR MARIJUANA MILESTONE AS DAILY WEED USE SURPASSES DAILY DRINKINGEdibles are absorbed more slowly and can produce driving impairment even when blood THC concentrations remain relatively low.Researchers found that drivers who consumed higher doses of edible THC struggled with lane control, had slower reaction times and experienced greater speed fluctuations. Yet, their blood tests stayed below the standard legal cutoff used to prove impairment at roadside traffic stops. To assess how oral cannabis impacts driving, researchers at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto conducted a trial with 40 healthy adult volunteers who regularly use cannabis.Each participant attended four separate sessions where they consumed soft-chew gummies containing either 0, 2, 10 or 20 milligrams…

A federal appeals court restored Bowe Bergdahl’s conviction on Tuesday, undoing a 2023 decision that wiped away the court-martial of the former U.S. Army soldier who walked off his base in Afghanistan, kicking off an intensive search that wounded other troops.On Tuesday, a three-judge panel on the D.C. Circuit ruled that the federal court that overturned Bergdahl’s military conviction did not have the jurisdiction to do so, arguing that only the military justice system could reverse Bergdahl’s judgment.“District courts lack jurisdiction on collateral review to vacate court-martial judgments,” Judge Robert Wilkins wrote on behalf of the panel.The former U.S. Army soldier, then 23, walked off his base during a deployment to Afghanistan in 2009 and was subsequently captured by the Taliban. American soldiers were severely injured and one military working dog, Remco, was killed during the operations to find him. Bergdahl said he left his post in an attempt to reach another headquarters and report perceived issues with leadership. Instead, he was abducted, tortured and held in brutal conditions. Then-President Barack Obama negotiated Bergdahl’s release in a 2014 prisoner swap. He was exchanged for five members of Taliban leadership who were held at Guantanamo Bay.Bergdahl pleaded guilty to desertion and…

There’s one runaway favorite to win the National League Cy Young Award, and it’s Milwaukee Brewers star pitcher Jacob Misiorowski.”The Miz,” as he’s commonly known, has delivered on all of his immense promise in 2026, and then some. While elite velocity has always been one of his strong suits, Misiorowski has added impressive command and control to his repertoire. After walking over four hitters per nine innings in 2025, he’s lowered that number to just 2.26 in 2026. And his other numbers have improved dramatically as a result.Just 84 hits allowed in 155 innings, good for a minuscule 0.79 WHIP, with 227 strikeouts and a microscopic .154 batting average allowed. He’s turning opposing major league hitters into pitchers hitting. No surprise then, that “The Miz” went 25 straight starts without allowing more than three earned runs.BREWERS ACE JACOB MISIOROWSKI UNLOADS ON ANGEL STADIUM MOUND AFTER EMBARRASSING ANGELS LOSS That streak ended Wednesday night. Matched up against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley, Misiorowski turned in an uncharacteristically rough outing. He lasted just four innings, surrendering five runs on five hits and four walks while striking out five. The line was far from catastrophic, but it fell well short of the standard…

U.S. Vice President JD Vance on Thursday said the United States is investigating an airstrike that Iran says struck a wedding party in Iran.“We’re investigating it because obviously we care. We want to know,” Vance told reporters during a White House press briefing.“If we do make mistakes, again, this is a big difference between us and Iran, when our military makes mistakes, they learn from them to try to get better from them,” Vance added.Iranian officials say four people died and nearly 70 were wounded by a strike that hit a home during a wedding. Iranian state TV reported on Thursday that a fifth person, a 22-year-old woman, had since died at a hospital.The U.S. military has said it was aware of the Iranian reports but that it “never targets civilians.” Read the full article here
