Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham, who has become a sensation since her pointing incident on the court went viral, was asked by an ESPN journalist how people related to her. This was Cunningham's response. Some may see this response as arrogant, but what it reflects is authenticity. Cunningham is unapologetically herself, and this is exactly what the world, and especially young girls, need. Which is probably why her other response about whether biological men should be allowed to play in women's sports also turned heads.

An Obama-appointed federal judge has handed Portland’s far-left political machine a major legal victory, denying the Trump Justice Department’s attempt to obtain police body-camera footage and internal records tied to allegations of anti-conservative viewpoint discrimination.

Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels said Saturday that they fired missiles and drones at Saudi Arabia in response to Saudi airstrikes on the strategic Red Sea city of Hodeida, in an escalation over vital shipping routes in the Middle East while the United States and Iran vie for control of the Strait of Hormuz. Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree, the Houthis’ military spokesperson, said in a prerecorded statement that the attack targeted facilities in the Red Sea cities of Yanbu and Jizan that belong to Aramco, the world’s largest oil company. Saudi Arabia’s civil defense said alerts sounded multiple times early Saturday in both cities, but the kingdom didn’t comment further.

President Donald Trump’s intelligence community has concluded that Iran’s new supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, is far more inclined than his father to pursue nuclear weapons, raising concerns that Tehran’s long-term nuclear ambitions may have hardened despite the devastating damage inflicted on its atomic program. The assessment, first reported Friday by the New York Times and based largely on intelligence collected before the current war, found Mojtaba significantly less hesitant than his father and predecessor, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, about pursuing a nuclear weapon, according to U.S. officials briefed on the intelligence.
