U.S. Pounds Iran, Tehran Strikes Back

WASHINGTON, Sept 2 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the renewed U.S. campaign against Iran would not continue for "too long" after the biggest exchange of fire between Tehran and Washington since July. Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that Iran was trying to build a rocket that drops mines and the U.S. had destroyed it. He also said Iran had been working to restore its radar and missile systems, which were also targeted in the U.S. strikes. "We took out all of the new equipment that they tried to build along the Strait of Hormuz - some defensive, some offensive ... It was a very heavy attack last night, and we're prepared to do another one any time we want," he said.

Deadlocked Jury In Clancy Trial Goes Home After 5th Day Without Verdict

PLYMOUTH, Mass. (AP) — Jurors in the Lindsay Clancy trial have gone home without a verdict after a fifth day of deliberations. They have twice said they can’t agree on whether the Massachusetts mother is criminally responsible for killing her three young children. The jury will return on Thursday. The judge told them to keep deliberating when they said for a second straight day that they were at an impasse. This raises the chance of a hung jury and the trial ending without a resolution. Clancy doesn’t deny strangling her three children in 2023. Her attorney argues postpartum psychosis led to her actions, while prosecutors say she knew what she was doing.

Paxton Sabotaged

A Talarico win would be the ultimate "I told you so" from the GOP establishment . But here's the reality: Texas Republicans can't afford sabotage .

Kirk Family Reacts To Trial Decision

PROVO, Utah (AP) — The murder case against the Utah man accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk is headed for trial. Defendant Tyler Robinson faces a potential death sentence if convicted. Utah District Judge Tony Graf on Tuesday sided with prosecutors who said they had “overwhelming” evidence that Robinson shot Kirk as he addressed a crowd last September in Orem, Utah. Robinson’s lawyers have tried to block the case from proceeding to trial. They said prosecutors didn’t give enough evidence to warrant seeking the death penalty. One of Robinson’s attorneys entered a not-guilty plea on his behalf following the decision. Kirk’s family called the ruling “an important step in our family’s pursuit of justice.” Posting on X, widow Erika Kirk wrote this after the court's decision Tuesday night: "STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE KIRK FAMILY: Today’s decision, which comes nearly a year since Charlie was taken from us, marks an important step in our family’s pursuit of justice for him. Every step in this process carries the weight of all that Charlie’s murder has taken from his family, especially his children who will grow up without their father. We are grateful to all who have continued to pray for us, support us, and stand with us through a year of unimaginable grief. As the next phase of the judicial process begins, our family remains united in our love for Charlie, our commitment to the pursuit of justice, and our prayer for a transparent and timely process."

1 Adult Hurt, No Kids Harmed After Shooting At Virginia Elementary School

An adult was wounded in a shooting at a Virginia elementary school Wednesday morning, according to an official who responded to the scene and confirmed no children were injured. Jim Wood, a Waynesboro city council member whose district includes Westwood Hills Elementary School, said in a phone interview that the shooting was an isolated event and that the shooter is no longer a threat. He declined to further elaborate on the suspect's status. “This is a one-on-one incident,” said Wood, who was at a nearby event Wednesday morning and went to the scene. He later went to a church, where he said children were being reunited with their families. The adult victim was taken to a hospital with injuries not considered life-threatening, Wood said.

Waynesboro police have not yet released a full statement on the shooting, but Lawson said one would be forthcoming Wednesday afternoon.

In social media posts, the school system confirmed police were “managing an emergency” Wednesday morning, later confirming that all “Westwood students, teachers, and staff are accounted for and are safe.” Virginia Gov.

Clancy Jury Could Face Mistrial

Jurors in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial are back deliberating after telling the judge they were unable to reach a unanimous decision, raising the possibility of a mistrial if the deadlock continues. The jury reported the impasse Tuesday, but the judge instructed jurors to continue deliberations. They are considering whether Clancy was criminally responsible when she strangled her three young children at the family's Massachusetts home in 2023. Clancy does not deny killing the children. Her attorneys argue she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and was not criminally responsible for her actions. Prosecutors contend she understood what she was doing at the time of the killings. If jurors ultimately cannot reach a unanimous verdict, the judge could declare a mistrial. Prosecutors would then have to decide whether to retry Clancy on the murder charges. Legal experts say prosecutors could also pursue other options, including offering Clancy a plea agreement or deciding not to bring the case to trial again.

DOJ Sues Kansas School District Over Transgender Policy

The Justice Department has filed a federal lawsuit against Kansas City, Kansas, Public Schools over its policies involving transgender students and parental access to information. The Trump administration alleges the district violated federal law by maintaining policies that could allow schools to withhold information about a student’s gender transition from parents. The district uses students’ preferred names and pronouns and says requests from students who do not want their parents involved are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The Education Department began investigating the district and three other Kansas school systems following a complaint alleging their policies prevented disclosure of a student’s transgender status without the student’s consent. In April, the department determined the districts were violating the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or FERPA. The Kansas City district disputes that it is out of compliance with federal law and said it is disappointed by the Justice Department’s decision to sue. The lawsuit is the Trump administration’s first using FERPA to assert a parent’s right to know about a child’s gender transition at school. The Justice Department is seeking to require the district to change its policies and provide parents greater access to student records. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said “parental rights are paramount” in public schools, while advocates for LGBTQ+ students argue that disclosing a student’s gender identity without consent can put some children at risk.

The Trump administration alleges the district violated federal law by maintaining policies that could allow schools to withhold information about a student’s gender transition from parents. The district uses students’ preferred names and pronouns and says requests from students who do not want their parents involved are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The Education Department began investigating the district and three other Kansas school systems following a complaint alleging their policies prevented disclosure of a student’s transgender status without the student’s consent. In April, the department determined the districts were violating the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, or FERPA. The Kansas City district disputes that it is out of compliance with federal law and said it is disappointed by the Justice Department’s decision to sue. The lawsuit is the Trump administration’s first using FERPA to assert a parent’s right to know about a child’s gender transition at school. The Justice Department is seeking to require the district to change its policies and provide parents greater access to student records. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said “parental rights are paramount” in public schools, while advocates for LGBTQ+ students argue that disclosing a student’s gender identity without consent can put some children at risk.
