Transgender sports bans head to voters in Democratic states, potentially setting a national precedent

Voters in Colorado and Washington will decide whether to ban transgender women and girls from competing in female sports. Supporters say the measures would protect fairness in women's athletics, while opponents argue they discriminate against transgender youth. The ballot results could influence similar efforts in other states where lawmakers have rejected transgender sports bans. Colorado and Washington activists are seeking voter approval for proposed bans on transgender women and girls competing in female sports, after lawmakers in both Democratic-led states rejected similar measures. The ballot questions would be the first such restrictions decided directly by voters. Twenty-seven states already have laws limiting transgender athletes, and a June Quinnipiac University poll found about 7 in 10 registered voters oppose allowing transgender women and girls to compete on female sports…

Keyone Jenkins throws TD pass in double OT and UCF knocks off No. 2 BYU 39-31

Needing a touchdown and a 2-point conversion to force a third OT, the Cougars (6-1, 3-1 Big 12) drove to the UCF 4-yard line, but Bear Bachmeier’s fourth-down pass to Walker Lyons fell incomplete, giving the Knights (4-3, 2-2) their first win over a top-5 team in school history. “We set a standard,” Jenkins said. “That standard has got to be upheld week in and week out. We just beat the No. 2 team in the country.” A week after knocking off then-No. 2 Notre Dame and moving into its highest spot in the AP Top 25 since its national title season of 1984, BYU became the latest unbeaten team to fall in a wild stretch of the college football season. A school ranked in the top 2 has lost to an unranked foe in each of the past three weeks. UCF was driving toward a potential game-winning field goal in regulation when Jenkins lost the ball on a play that was ruled a sack on the field. But after a…

US designates helium as a critical material, citing its importance for semiconductors

By JENNIFER McDERMOTT and ALEXA ST. JOHN The U.S. designated helium as a critical material on Friday because it’s indispensable for making semiconductors that are essential to energy generation, and the global supply is at risk of disruption, according to the Energy Department. The designation by the Energy Department means that more federal financing will be available for helium producers and that the government will monitor it more closely. Helium is primarily produced as a byproduct of natural gas processing. The United States is the world’s largest producer of natural gas and of helium. Qatar and Russia are the other top helium producers. Exports of Qatar’s helium supply have been severely curtailed by Iran’s closure of the Strait of Hormuz as a result of its war with Israel and the U.S. Iranian strikes on Qatar’s infrastructure have also impacted supply. Russia imposed temporary…

1 trade Commanders must make during 2026 NFL season bye week

The Commanders need a perimeter playmaker after Terry McLaurin’s injury. Could Brian Thomas Jr. be the bold trade answer? McLaurin's absence creates a serious problem for an offense that needs to maximize Daniels' arm talent and mobility. Washington still has receiving options, including Stefon Diggs and tight end Chig Okonkwo. However, the team must redistribute targets while finding a dependable threat capable of stretching defenses vertically. Without a consistent outside weapon, opposing secondaries can crowd the intermediate passing lanes and challenge Washington's receivers underneath. That puts more pressure on Daniels to extend plays and manufacture explosive gains. Antonio Williams, Treylon Burks, and Dyami Brown could help absorb the workload. Still, Washington should not assume that internal adjustments alone will replace McLaurin's impact. The Commanders need a receiver who…
