The U.S. Supreme Court ordered the Maine state legislature to revoke its censure of GOP state representative Laurel Libby on Tuesday. Libby has been censured since Feb. 15 for a social media post that identified a transgender Maine high school athlete who won a girls' pole vault competition.In a 7-2 decision, the court ruled that Libby's entitlement to relief from the censure is "indisputably clear."The GOP lawmaker celebrated the Supreme Court decision in an X post."This is a victory not just for my constituents, but for the Constitution itself. The Supreme Court has affirmed what should NEVER have been in question that no state legislature has the power to silence an elected official simply for speaking truthfully about issues that matter," Libby wrote.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMMeanwhile, Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.Jackson criticized the grant of emergency relief for Libby, and broader concerns of shadow docket emergency appeals.'"The watering down of our Courts standards for granting emergency relief is, to me, an unfortunate development," Jackson said. "At the very least, by lowering the bar for granting emergency relief, the Court itself will bear responsibility for the resulting systemic disruption, as a surge in requests for our 'extraordinary' interventionat earlier and earlier stages of ongoing lower court proceedings, and with greater and greater frequencywill undoubtedly follow."Ever since her censure was placed in February, Libby has argued that her post did not initially publicize the incident or the figure, since the athlete had already been publicized in other media.Libby previously told Fox News Digital that no one from the school or the athlete's family ever reached out to her about the post.The first person Libby says she heard from that took issue with her post was Maine House Speaker Ryan Fecteau, who she is now suing for censuring her over the post."He found it objectionable and asked me to take it down, at the same time I asked him if he would support Maine girls, and support policy that stopped discrimination against Maine young women in sports and he declined to answer," Libby said. "The main criticism all along from the Democrats is that it was a picture of a minor."MAINE TEENS ARE BATTLING STATE DEMOCRATS ON GIRLS' SPORTS BILL AFTER ENDURING TRANS ATHLETE CHAOS IN HIGH SCHOOLFecteau's office previously provided documents to Fox News Digital confirming the conversation took place."I am asking you to take the post down," Fecteau wrote in a letter to Libby on Feb. 18. "In addition to risking the young person's safety, your post violates one of the long held political traditions of leaving kids out of it a tradition that has even been observed by political pundits with regard to the treatment of kids who are in the White House, the most scrutinized office in the nation."Then, after the censure was passed at the state house in February, Fecteau told Libby that the censure would be revoked if she apologized for the social media post. But Libby firmly refused.Instead, the state representative filed a lawsuit to have the censure overturned, but was ruled against by Rhode Island U.S. District Court Judge Melissa DuBose, who was appointed by former President Biden in January. DuBose presided over the case after every district judge in Maine refused to take the case.Libby then filed an appeal to First Circuit Court of Appeals, but was ruled against there too. So she took her case to the Supreme Court in April.The defendants, Fecteau and House Clerk Robert Hunt, represented by Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey, defended the decision to censure Libby for the February post in their response to the Supreme Court appeal last week."Like other censures of Maine House members, the censure resolution required Rep. Libby to apologize for her conductnotrecant her views.Rep. Libby has steadfastly refused to comply with this modest punishment, which is designed to restore the integrity and reputation of the body," the response read."Her refusal places her in breach of a centuries-old rule of the Maine House, Rule 401(11), that Rep. Libby previously agreed, along with all of her House colleagues, would govern House proceedings. Rule 401(11) provides that a member found by the body to be in breach of its rules may not participate in floor debates or vote on matters before the full House until they have 'made satisfaction,' i.e., here, apologized for their breach."Libby had the support of the U.S. Department of Justice and Attorney General Pam Bondi, who filed an amicus brief supporting Libby in her lawsuit, and Bondi has personally spoken out in support of the embattled Republican state representative."The Department of Justice is proud to fight for girls in Maine and stand alongside Rep. Libby, who is being attacked simply for defending girls in her home state. As our lawsuit against the state of Maine illustrates, we will always protect girls sports and girls spaces from radical gender ideology," Bondi told Fox News Digital.Fox News' Shannon Bream and William Mears contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

The Associated Press filed a motion to dismiss U.S. NavyVeteran Zachary Youngs defamation lawsuit on Monday, insisting the complaint is "without merit" and unjustly challenges the outlet's free speech rights.Young successfully sued CNNfor defamation earlier this year after saying the network smeared him by implying he illegally profited when helping peopleflee Afghanistanon the "black market" during theBiden administration'smilitary withdrawal from the country in 2021.When covering the trial in January, Associated Press media reporter David Bauder wrote that "Youngs business helped smuggle people out of Afghanistan."Youngs legal team has said that the Associated Press article "went even further than CNNs falsehoods," and updated the original complaint to include 40 AP articles that use the term "smuggling" to describe criminal conduct. The court previously ruled that Young did nothing illegal, and he is seeking nearly $500 million in a defamation suit against the AP.NAVY VETERAN SEEKS NEARLY $500 MILLION IN DEFAMATION LAWSUIT AGAINST ASSOCIATED PRESSThe AP believes Youngs suit should be tossed."It is premised on the facially implausible contention that The AP made the exact same accusationthat Young had engaged in criminal activities in connection with his Afghan evacuationsthat the Article made clear a jury had rejected in the CNN case," APs legal team wrote in the motion to dismiss. "The AP now asks the Court to dismiss this lawsuit with prejudice under Floridas AntiSLAPP statute which protect the rights of free speech in connection with public issues," the motion continued. "This is a classic SLAPP lawsuit a lawsuit that lack[s] legal merit but threatens to chill speech by imposing crushing legal expenses."The AP believes its reporting is protected by Floridas fair report privilege, which its legal team wrote "safeguards the ability of the press to report about legal and other official proceedings." In addition, the APs legal team wrote that the article "cannot be reasonably read as conveying anything defamatory" about Young or his company, Nemex Enterprises.NAVY VETERAN WHO PROVED CNN DEFAMED HIM SUES ASSOCIATED PRESS, SAYS HE WAS FALSELY PAINTED AS SMUGGLERYoungs attorney, Daniel Lustig, said the motion to dismiss was expected, and he expects the Navy veteran to prevail."APs position is thatwords dont mean what they mean. That was CNNs defense. Zachary Young spent nearly three years fighting that fiction and after a court ruled in his favor and a jury affirmed it, the matter should have ended. But now hes back in the same courtroom, facing the same defense, advanced by the same lawyers, insisting once again that a plainly criminal accusation doesnt actually accuse him of a crime," Lustig told Fox News Digital."If this feels familiar, its because it is. The only thing thats changed is the logo on the letterhead. AP called Mr. Young a human smuggler, broadcast it around the world, and now claim they meant it in a nice way. When he asked them to correct a single word, they refused," he continued.CNN DEFAMATION JUROR WOULD HAVE AWARDED NAVY VETERAN UP TO $100 MILLION BEFORE SETTLEMENT WAS REACHEDThe AP has referred to the lawsuit as "frivolous" in past statements to the press.The motion was filed with the 14th Judicial Circuit Court in Bay County, Florida, the same court where Young prevailed against CNN.Young is seeking at least $18 million in economic loss, $50-75 million in reputational harm, $5-10 million in emotional distress and $300-350 million in punitive damages, according to a Notice of Filing.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., clashed in a heated and racially charged exchange over South African refugees on Tuesday with Kaine accusing Rubio and the Trump administration of prioritizing white South African farmers for refugee entry.The spat was prompted after the United States last week welcomed dozens of whiteSouth African refugees who the State Department said are victims of "government-sponsored racial discrimination" in their homeland. Their arrival comes as the administration has suspendedmost refugee resettlementprograms.Kaine,during a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, called the persecution claims "specious," noting that South Africa now has a government of national unity and the agriculture minister is an Afrikaner.TRUMP TO BRING WHITE AFRIKANERS TO US AS REFUGEES FROM SOUTH AFRICA, IN WAKE OF EXPROPRIATION LEGISLATIONHe inferred that the Trump administration was giving preference to Afrikaners because of their skin color."Can you have a different standard based upon the color of somebody's skin? Would that be acceptable?" Kaine said before Rubio shot back."I'm not the one arguing that, apparently you are because you don't like the fact that theyre white and thats why theyre coming," Rubio said."Im asking you to say that that would be unacceptable, that would seem to be a very easy thing to say," Kaine said."The United States has a right to pick and choose who they allow into the United States," Rubio said before Kaine cut across him."Based on the color of somebody's skin?" Kaine asked."You're the one that's talking about the color of their skin, not me. These are people whose farms were burned down and they were killed because of the color of their skin," Rubio said.TRUMP ADMINISTRATION MAKES NEW MOVE TO BRING SOUTH AFRICAN REFUGEES TO US AS PRESIDENT BLASTS NATION'S RULERS AGAINPresidentDonald Trump directed the State Department to bump up Afrikaners to the front of the line for resettlement after a law was passed by the South African government allowing it to take private land for public use, sometimes without compensation. Trump claimed the law would be used to targetSouth Africas white minority Afrikaner group, descended from Dutch and other European settlers who arrived more than 300 years ago.Amid his immigration crackdown, Trump said in January the U.S. will onlyadmit refugeeswho "can fully and appropriately assimilate."Kaine played down the threat the Afrikaners face and said that the U.S. did not establish a special refugee program for Black South Africans during the apartheid era."Now were creating a special pathway for white Afrikaner farmers in a country governed by a unity government that includes the Afrikaner parties," Kaine said. "Would you agree, Mr. Secretary, that if were interpreting the phrase 'a well-founded fear of persecution', we should apply that standard evenhandedly?""I think we should apply it in the national security interest of the United States," Rubio said. "The United States has the right to choose who it allows in and to prioritize that choice," Rubio asserted."And should that be applied evenhandedly?" Kaine asked, with Rubio responding, "Our foreign policy does not require evenhandedness."Rubio also said that Kaine seems to think everyone should be allowed into the country for any reason, and reasserted that the governments immigration policy should reflect what benefits the United States.In March, Rubio expelled the South African ambassador to the U.S., calling him a "race-baiting" politician who hates America and Trump after he said the commander-in-chief is leading a global white supremacist movement.South Africa's foreign ministry has said the accusations of racial discrimination against Afrikaners are "unfounded."Elsewhere in the hearing on Tuesday, Rubio requested a budget totaling $28.5 billion, which he said will allow the State Department to fulfill its mission while also outlining a bureaucratic overhaul, proposing the recission of $20 billion in duplicate, wasteful and ideologically driven programs. Rubio announced the creation of new consolidated funds that will absorb many U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) functions.Last month, Rubio announced he was overhauling the agency and shuttering more than 130 offices around the world in order to streamline operations and align the department more closely with the administration's foreign policy objectives.Rubio said that all the changes will not be universally welcome, but the intent of the changes is to make the agency more efficient."It is not to dismantle American foreign policy and it is not to withdraw us from the world, because I just hit 18 countries in 18 weeks, that doesn't sound like much of a withdrawal," Rubio said.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"We are engaged in the world, but we're going to be engaged in a world that makes sense and that's smart. And that isn't about saving money, it is about ensuring that we are delivering to our people what they deserve. A foreign policy that makes America stronger, safer and more prosperous."He also discussed various foreign affairs matters, including the Ukraine-Russia war, which he said can only end through a negotiated settlement."Neither side can win militarily," Rubio said.Fox News Brie Stimson contributed to this report.

Democratic Rep. Jared Golden of Maine is passing on a potential statewide bid for governor or the Senate and instead will seek re-election in a key swing congressional district that Republicans are working to flip in the 2026 midterm elections."I have decided the best way to continue serving the people of Maine is to do my part to restore balance in Congress by helping to win back the House of Representatives. My focus will remain on checking the extremes and putting working-class families first," Golden said Tuesday morning in a social media post, as he announced his re-election.Golden, a U.S. Marine veteran who deployed to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, is a moderate Democrat who often bucks his own party in Congress.He has held the seat in Maine's 2nd Congressional District, which is one of the most competitive in the nation, since first winning it in 2018.THIS LONGTIME TRUMP ALLY AND FORMER GOP GOVERNOR AIMS TO FLIP DEMOCRAT-HELD KEY SWING CONGRESSIONAL SEATGolden won re-election by a razor-thin margin last year in the district, which is the second-most rural in the U.S. and the largest east of the Mississippi River. And President Donald Trump carried the district in the 2016, 2020 and 2024 presidential elections by nine, seven and 10 points."While the election is still 18 months away and I remain focused on my responsibilities to my constituents and my family, I also know the path to the GOP majority runs through Maine," said the 42-year-old Golden, who had been floated as a potential gubernatorial or Senate candidate.HOUSE GOP, AIMING TO HOLD MAJORITY, TOUTS THIS KEY METRICAs Republicans aim to defend their razor-thin House majority in the midterms, Golden's district is in their crosshairs.National Republican Congressional Committee spokeswoman Maureen O'Toole said that "we look forward to making out-of-touch Democrat Jared Golden wish he ran for governor."But the top Democrats in House leadership countered that "Jareds dedication to representing all of his constituents no matter their party affiliation makes him uniquely suited to once again win one of the toughest seats in the country for Democrats to hold.""Hes also helping Democrats flip Republican seats in competitive districts throughout America," House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08), Whip Katherine Clark (MA-05), Chairman Pete Aguilar (CA-33) and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) Chair Suzan DelBene (WA-01) added in a joint statement.CONGRESSIONAL DEMOCRATS TARGETING THESE HOUSE REPUBLICANS IN 2026 MIDTERM BATTLEChallenging Golden is former two-term Republican Gov. Paul LePage, who is a major Trump supporter and ally."I am going to do what it takes to make sure no one like Paul LePage blusters his way into Congress," Golden said in his announcement.LePage, in his first interview after announcing his candidacy earlier this month, told Fox News Digital, "I never, ever had any aspirations to go to Washington until now.""Donald Trump, I think, is doing what is necessary in addressing the debt this country is facing. And I think that's a big, big thing for me," LePage said as he was interviewed in Lewiston, the Maine city where he was born and raised.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPLePage the brash and blunt politician who won over blue-collar workers struggling with economic woes, which helped the Republican businessman win election and re-election in the blue-leaning state was one of the first major GOP elected officials to endorse Trump when the president first ran for the White House nearly a decade ago."I have a friend in the White House right now. I know President Trump. I think I can have an audience of President Trump. I know several of his secretaries very well. And so I think this is a good time. It's a good time for me to go help," LePage told Fox News.

EXCLUSIVE: Immigration and Customs Enforcement captured an Ecuadorian illegal immigrant who is facing vehicular homicide charges in Minnesota on Friday.The August crash, in which German Adriano Llangari Inga allegedly had a blood alcohol content "twice the legal limit," killed mother Victoria Eileen Harwell, and hurt her teenage daughter and sister, according to DHS and local media outlets."Despite a lack of cooperation from local Minnesota authorities, ICE arrested criminal illegal alien German Llangari Inga.

FIRST ON FOX: Most of the nation's Republican governors on Tuesday signed on to a letter of support for the massive GOP-crafted budget bill advancing President Donald Trump's second-term agenda on tax cuts, immigration, defense, energy and the debt limit.The letter was sent to the White House as the massive measure, known as Trump's "one big, beautiful bill," is slowly making its way through numerous votes and hurdles in the House of Representatives.And the letter, shared first with Fox News by the Republican Governors Association (RGA), came as Trump made a rare visit Tuesday morning to Capitol Hill to rally Republicans in support of the legislation.INSIDE TRUMP'S URGENT MEETING WITH HOUSE REPUBLICANS"As Republican Governors, we stand UNITED in strong support of your One, Big, Beautiful Bill.This landmark piece of legislation embodies your powerful vision to bring about the next great American revival. It truly delivers on the bold promises all Republicans made to the American people to restore the security, prosperity, and fiscal sanity for our nation," stated the letter, which was signed by 20 of the nation's 27 GOP governors.And the governors argued that "after four long years of tremendous hardship under President Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the American people cannot wait any longer for Congress to enact the One, Big, Beautiful Bill.""The American people have witnessed the tireless work undertaken by you and your administration to reverse the disastrous consequences of President Bidens failed and often illegal policies," the governors claimed. "You have demonstrated a commitment to using every ounce of Executive authority available to reinstitute fiscal sanity, fight the deep state, secure our borders, and achieve energy dominance."With a fragile, razor-thin majority in the House, GOP leaders in the chamber cannot afford more than a couple of Republicans to hold out against the bill in order to pass it and send it to the Senate. No Democrats in the House are expected to vote for the measure.Upon arriving on Capitol Hill, Trump suggested that any GOP lawmaker who votes against the bill would be "knocked out so fast," as he mentioned a couple of "grandstanders."He urged House Republicans must get his "one big, beautiful bill" done, and added that the GOP is a "very unified party."While Trump's meeting with the House Republicans was kept behind closed doors, two people in the room told Fox News Digital that the president warned House Republicans to not "f--- around" with Medicaid and state and local tax (SALT) deduction caps, two significant points of contention for warring conservative and moderate GOP factions.The Republican governors, in their letter to Trump, said that "we agree with you; Republicans must UNIFY around this unprecedented piece of conservative legislation.""We stand by your side and will support you in any way to ensure this necessary piece of legislation is enacted," they added.The letter was signed by Govs. Kay Ivey of Alabama, Mike Dunleavy of Alaska, Sarah Sanders of Arkansas, Brian Kemp of Georgia (the chair of the RGA), Brad Little of Idaho, Mike Braun of Indiana, Kim Reynolds of Iowa, Jeff Laundry of Louisiana, Tate Reeves of Mississippi, Mike Kehoe of Missouri, Greg Gianforte of Montana, Jim Pillen of Nebraska, Kelly Armstrong of North Dakota, Henry McMaster of South Carolina, Bill Lee of Tennessee, Greg Abbott of Texas, Spencer Cox of Utah, Glenn Youngkin of Virginia, Patrick Morrisey of West Virginia, and Mark Gordon of Wyoming.Fox News' Elizabeth Elkind and Deirdre Heavey contributed to this report.
