A well-known Ugandan opposition figure appeared in a military court Wednesday days after he was reported missing in neighboring Kenya, and denied a charge of seeking military support from abroad to destabilize Uganda’s military forces. Kizza Besigye, a fierce critic of Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni and once his personal doctor, has faced arrest and assault on previous occasions. He has contested and lost four presidential elections. Besigye, who at first appeared in court without lawyers and in a cage, rejected government legal representation and said he should be tried in a civilian court because he's not a member of the armed forces. 3 AMERICANS IN CONGO SENTENCED T…

Senate Republicans are preparing to probe Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on his pro-choice stance after the former presidential candidate was selected by President-elect Trump to be his nominee to head the Department of Health and Human Services.

His former presidential campaign reportedly said he believed it "should be left up to the woman and her doctor." Over the summer, Kennedy shared a video on social media, writing in a post, "I support the emerging consensus that abortion should be unrestricted up until a certain point." He suggested that this limit should be "w…

EXCLUSIVE: Two high school cross-country runners and their families are suing a California school district, alleging their "Save Girls Sports" T-shirts were likened to a swastika. Plaintiffs Kaitlyn and Taylor, two athletes at Martin Luther King High School in ninth and eleventh grade, respectively, wore T-shirts bearing the messages "Save Girls’ Sports" and "It’s Common Sense. XX ≠ XY." The girls wore the shirts after a transgender athlete, who didn’t consistently attend practices or meet key varsity eligibility requirements, was placed on the varsity team, displacing Taylor from her spot, the complaint alleged.

CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings mocked journalists who are reportedly in fear of President-elect Donald Trump retaliating against them for their critical reporting on him. While CNN chief media analyst Brian Stelter told a network panel led by host Abby Phillip Tuesday night that sources he spoke with say MSNBC co-hosts Mike Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough, along with other mainstream journalists, are in fear of being targeted by Trump, Jennings chuckled and shook his head, saying their reported concern is evidence of how egotistical they are. "I mean, isn’t it possible too, that they’re just two people who think they are so full of themselves, so full of s…

Japanese officials said Wednesday they are closely watching to see if China keeps its promise to prevent further violations of Japan's airspace after explaining that an incursion by a Chinese military aircraft nearly three months ago was unintentional and caused by turbulence.

Oklahoma's Republican Gov. Kevin Stitt says his state is creating a plan to deport criminal illegal immigrants who are in custody in state prisons, in a boost to President-elect Trump’s proposal to conduct a mass deportation operation next year. Stitt announced that he is directing the state’s commissioner of public safety to lead the effort to expel inmates in Oklahoma prisons who are in the country illegally, by creating a plan to deal with them. That plan will be delivered by January, and the state says it will consult with the Trump transition team and incoming administration to implement it. Stitt downplayed the complexity of the effort, saying it was "common sense a…

President Biden implemented a tax credit of up to $7,500 to incentivize the purchase of greener vehicles.

Incoming White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt expects to enter into "hostile territory" when she begins her service in the Trump administration as the president's lead representative to the media.
