The Chicago Sun-Times admitted on Tuesday that it published an AI-generated list of books that don't exist for its summer reading list.On Sunday, the publication released a special 64-page section titled "Heat Index: Your Guide to the Best of Summer" which featured a list of 15 recommended books for summer. However, upon further look, it was found that 10 of the 15 books on the list were not real.One example included a book called "Nightshade Market" by Min Jin Lee, which was described as a "riveting tale set in Seouls underground economy" and follows "three women whose paths intersect in an illegal night market" exploring "class, gender and the shadow economies beneath prosperous societies."Lee herself confirmed on her X account on Tuesday that the book was not real.'HEART WRENCHING': AI EXPERT DETAILS DANGERS OF DEEPFAKES AND TOOLS TO DETECT MANIPULATED CONTENT"I have not written and will not be writing a novel called Nightshade Market. Thank you," Lee wrote.Chicago Public Media CEO Melissa Bell remarked on the situation in an article on Tuesday, revealing that the mistake came from a freelance writer from one of their partner companies, King Features. Bell acknowledged that the list was published without review from the editorial team."We are in a moment of great transformation in journalism and technology, and at the same time, our industry continues to be besieged by business challenges," Bell wrote. "This should be a learning moment for all journalism organizations: Our work is valued and valuable because of the humanity behind it."Moving forward, Bell announced that the paper will be reviewing its relationship with content partners like King Features, updating its policies for third-party content and explicitly identifying third-party content in its publications. The Chicago Sun-Times also removed the section from its e-paper version and confirmed that it would not charge subscribers who bought the premium edition."We are committed to making sure this never happens again. We know that there is work to be done to provide more answers and transparency around the production and publication of this section, and will share additional updates in the coming days," Bell said.In another report for the Chicago Sun-Times, the freelance writer was identified as Marco Buscaglia, who confirmed that he used AI for this and other stories without disclosing it to supervisors or fully vetting the results.AI COULD BE 'NAIL IN THE COFFIN' FOR THE INTERNET, WARNS NEIL DEGRASSE TYSONKing Features later added that it was "terminating" its relationship with Buscaglia, saying that he had violated strict policy regarding the use of AI.In an additional statement to Fox News Digital on Wednesday, Chicago Public Media marketing director Victor Lim said, "Regarding Chicago Public Media's usage of generative AI, we are committed to producing journalism that is accurate, ethical, and deeply human. While GAI may assist with certain taskslike summarizing documents or analyzing dataour editorial content will always be created and shaped by journalists."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

President Donald Trump's "one big, beautiful bill" passed the House of Representatives early on Thursday morning with few Republican defections.It is a significant victory for House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., who navigated deep inter-party friction within the House GOP Conference to deliver a product that few Republican lawmakers ultimately defected from.The bill passed 215 to 214 with just two Republicans, Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, voting against it. All Democrats voted against the bill as well, and House Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Harris, R-Md., voted "present."The bill is a sweeping multi-trillion-dollar piece of legislation that advances Trump's agenda on taxes, immigration, energy, defense and the national debt.TRUMP'S 'BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL' PASSES KEY HOUSE HURDLE AFTER GOP REBEL MUTINYRepublicans spent more than 48 hours continuously working on the bill from the time it came before the House Rules Committee the final gatekeeper before a House-wide vote at 1 a.m. on Wednesday to when it passed the chamber just after 7 a.m. on Thursday."It quite literally is morning again in America," Johnson said. "What we're achieving today is nothing short of historic."All the while, Democratic lawmakers attempted a variety of delay tactics, from introducing amendments targeting key Trump policies to forcing several procedural votes on the House floor ahead of debate on the legislation.House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., notably spoke on the House floor for over 30 minutes just before the vote in a last-ditch effort to stretch out the seemingly endless day of debate and votes."This bill represents a failed promise. Last year, Donald Trump and House Republicans spent all of their time to lower the high cost of living in the United States of America," Jeffries said on the House floor. "We're now more than 120 days past the inauguration. Costs aren't going down, they're going up."Tensions flared at multiple points as visibly weary lawmakers continued to fight their ideological battle into the early morning.HOUSE GOP TARGETS ANOTHER DEM OFFICIAL ACCUSED OF BLOCKING ICE AMID DELANEY HALL FALLOUTRep. Steve Womack, R-Ark., who was presiding over the House at the time, warned Jeffries multiple times to address the chair in his remarks rather than directly attacking Republicans sitting across the chamber."Every time I'm interrupted, that's going to add another 15 minutes to my remarks," Jeffries said as Democrats sitting around him sounded off in support.The bill seeks to permanently extend Trump's 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) while also implementing newer Trump campaign promises like eliminating taxes on tips and overtime pay, and giving senior citizens a higher tax deduction for a period of four years.The legislation also included new funding for the border and defense, including more money for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations and $25 billion to kick-start construction of a "Golden Dome" defense system over the U.S.At the same time, the legislation seeks to make a dent in the federal government's spending trajectory by cutting roughly $1.5 trillion in government spending elsewhere. The U.S. government is more than $36 trillion in debt.Cuts include new work requirements for able-bodied Medicaid recipients, as well as putting more of the cost-sharing burden on states that took advantage of the Affordable Care Act (ACA)'s expanded Medicaid enrollment by giving illegal immigrants access to the healthcare program.The legislation would also roll back a host of green energy tax credits awarded in former President Joe Biden's Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) which Trump vowed to repeal in its entirety on the campaign trail.It also would cut the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) by roughly 20% by introducing some cost-sharing burdens on the states and increasing the amount of able-bodied Americans facing work requirements to be eligible for food stamps.All House Democrats rejected the bill, accusing Republicans of disproportionately favoring the wealthy at the expense of critical programs for working Americans. Republicans, on the other hand, have contended that they are preserving tax cuts that prevent a 22% tax increase on Americans next year if TCJA was allowed to expire, as well as streamlining programs like Medicaid and SNAP for vulnerable Americans who need it most.Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, chair of the House's 189 member-strong Republican Study Committee, told Fox News Digital, "This transformational legislation permanently extends President Trump's historic tax cuts, provides unprecedented funding for border security, and obliterates the last four years of catastrophic Democratic policies."And while most GOP lawmakers united on the final bill, divisions appeared to persist until the final moments. Conservatives had pushed for more aggressive targeting of Medicaid waste and Biden green energy subsidies, while blue state Republicans pushed for tax relief for Americans in high-cost-of-living areas.To resolve outstanding differences, House Republican leaders released a list of eleventh-hour changes to President Donald Trump's "one big, beautiful bill," hours before their full chamber is expected to consider the legislation.New provisions in the bill include a ban on federal funding for transgender adults' medical care, and $12 billion in new funding to reimburse states for money they spent countering the former Biden administration's border policies.MEET THE TRUMP-PICKED LAWMAKERS GIVING SPEAKER JOHNSON A FULL HOUSE GOP CONFERENCEA key request from fiscal conservatives was also honored, with House GOP leaders apparently agreeing to speed up the implementation of work requirements for certain able-bodied recipients of Medicaid.The bill initially had Medicaid work requirements going into effect in 2029.Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, one of the fiscal hawks leading GOP opposition to the bill, told Fox News Digital just after midnight Thursday that he was not sure if the legislation went far enough but suggested the White House could persuade him with other avenues for change."There are things in the executive space, executive actions that we think could take care of some of our concerns on the Medicaid expansion," Roy said.The legislative update also included a victory for blue state Republicans who have been pushing for a higher state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap the current $10,000 cap would be quadrupled to roughly $40,000, but only for people making less than $500,000 per year. The $10,000 cap was first instituted in TCJA."This is what real leadership looks like. President Trump and House Republicans made a promise to the American people to secure our border, protect seniors, cut taxes on tips and overtime, and shut off the spigot of benefits for illegal immigrants," first-term Rep. Mike Haridopolos, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital.Rep. Randy Feenstra, R-Iowa, told Fox News Digital, "More than 77 million Americans made clear at the polls that they want President Trumps America First agenda codified into law, and our One, Big, Beautiful Bill delivers on this promise."But while House GOP leaders are enjoying their hard-fought victory now, the battle over Trump's "big, beautiful bill" is not over.Senate Republicans have already signaled they expect to make changes to the bill when it reaches the upper chamber, despite House GOP leaders publicly urging them to amend as little as possible.There is a significant number of senators who have expressed wariness at the level of Medicaid and SNAP cuts sought by the House. An increase to the SALT deduction cap could also be met with skepticism in the Senate, where no Republican represents a blue state unlike the House, where New York and California districts are critical to the majority.The House and Senate must pass identical bills before sending them to Trump's desk for a signature. GOP leaders have signaled they hope to do that by the Fourth of July.

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has not had the opportunity for more than 590 days to visit hostages in Gaza and provide them with medical care. However, Communications Coordinator for the International Committee of the Red Cross Jacob Kurtzer tells Fox News Digital that the organization has been ready to provide hostages with medical assistance "from day one" despite not being granted access to them."Its no secret that the ICRC has not been able to visit hostages to carry out the work thats mandated to carry out our humanitarian work, to visit, to bring medicine," Kurtzer told Fox News Digital. "I can assure you its not for lack of trying, and I can assure you that every single day, our colleagues here, our colleagues at headquarters, and our colleagues at other delegations are working to try to find a way to get access."ISRAELI AMBASSADOR LASHES OUT AT UN OFFICIAL, CONDEMNS UK, FRANCE, CANADA STATEMENT ON AIDSince its establishment over 160 years ago, the ICRC has prided itself on serving as a neutral body focused on delivering aid and medical care. However, since the war in Gaza began, the ICRC has faced criticism from some for not pushing to visit the hostages and for its volunteers taking part in Hamas-led hostage release ceremonies.When asked by Fox News Digital about the ceremonies, Kurtzer said that ICRC workers in Gaza have "very little ability to dictate the terms and the protocols of the release operations." However, he added that the organization believes these hostage release operations "must be done in dignity and should be done privately.""So, certainly there were things that we saw that we didn't like. We conveyed our views about those directly through what we call our bilateral and confidential dialogue," Kurtzer said.Despite facing mounting pressure and obstacles, the ICRC seems to be sticking to its mission. Kurtzer said that the organization is ready to "jump at" any opportunity to reach the hostages and provide them with assistance. However, Hamas has still not given them that opportunity.ISRAEL FIRES BACK AT UK OVER SUSPENDED TRADE TALKS, REJECTS EXTERNAL PRESSUREKurtzer also addressed the ICRCs position on access to Palestinian detainees held by Israel.When discussing the lack of opportunities to visit the hostages who have been held in Gaza since Hamas brutal Oct. 7 massacre, Kurtzer also mentioned that the ICRC would like to have the opportunity to visit Palestinians being held by Israel. Fox News Digital then pressed Kurtzer on whether the ICRC saw the situation of hostages in Gaza and Palestinians being held in Israel as equivalent. Kurtzer later clarified the comments in a statement to Fox News Digital."The ICRC recognizes the distinction between hostages and detainees enshrined in international humanitarian law (IHL). Hostages are captured or held with the threat of being harmed or killed to pressure another party into doing something, as a condition for the hostages release or safety. Hostage-taking is a violation of IHL," he said. "We provide assistance and work to alleviate suffering on all sides of a conflict.

He called the situation in the Strip "catastrophic."Kurtzer recalled the relief that the recent ceasefire provided those on the ground in Gaza."It provided hope.

However, the resumption of military action has "contributed to a sense of despair," he said.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPSince Kurtzer spoke with Fox News Digital, Israel has altered its position on humanitarian access, now allowing some aid trucks into Gaza.

French President Emmanuel Macron also condemned Israel in a post on X. Additionally, U.N. Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Tom Fletcher said the aid being allowed in was a "drop in the ocean.""We really believe that the path forward is one where humanitarian assistance is allowed in and we urgently and we appeal over and over again for the parties themselves to find a better path forward because what we're seeing now is just really very, very devastating," Kurtzer told Fox News Digital.

Furious parents vented their anger at a Virginia county school board meeting on Tuesday following news that three male students are under investigation after they were recorded in a male locker room complaining about a biological female getting changed alongside them.The Loudoun County Public Schools -- which made national headlines in 2021 when a father was arrested and hauled out of a board meeting for speaking out about the sexual assault of his daughter by a trans student at a local school -- is investigating the boys for Title IX violations.The trans boy, a biological female, recorded them questioning why "a girl" was present, with one student expressing that he felt "uncomfortable" about the situation.TENSIONS FLARE AT SCHOOL BOARD MEETING AFTER TRANS ATHLETE WINS MULTIPLE TRACK EVENTSIt is illegal to record inside locker rooms, but a Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) official confirmed to Fox 5 DC that none of the boys appeared in compromising positions in the video and, therefore, it was determined that no privacy laws were violated.Nevertheless, the boys are under investigation for allegedly violating policy 8040, a controversial guideline adopted in 2021 that permits students to use restrooms and locker rooms that align with their gender identity rather than their biological sex.Scott Smith, the father arrested during that heated incident in 2021, took to the mic and blasted the board, accusing them of initially denying that his daughter had been raped and warning them that their policies could lead to similar consequences for other students."And now four years later youre doing the same damn thing," Smith said. "Youre victimizing innocent children over the priority of kids that dont know," he said before his mic appeared to be muted after his one-minute speaking slot had expired and he was told to hand step aside.CALIFORNIA TRACK MEET TURNS TO POLITICAL RALLY OVER TRANS ATHLETES AS SCHOOLS SPEAK OUT VS. STATE"Im not done yet," Smith roared. "You guys are sick and pathetic," he said to applause.Smiths words, and the words of some 130 parents who spoke, were not recorded on video, as the board voted last year to omit a video display during the public comment section of its board meetings.The decision was blasted by Smith at the time, who told "America's Newsroom" that the board was trying to shut down public dissent to their radical policies. Smith's daughter was sexually assaulted at Stone Bridge High School by a transgender student in 2021.Smith was convicted of disorderly conduct stemming from the 2021 school board meeting, but he was later pardoned by Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin.Suzanne Satterfield also took aim at the board on Tuesday,saying that children rely on adults to be truthful and protect them from harm."Every girl and boy has the right to feel secure using private spaces without being invaded by the opposite sex," Satterfield said. "Every day that policy 8040 remains in play children are being lied to so that that they can be born in the wrong body can change their sex."SpeakerAmy Paulripped the board and said that policy 8040 is "insane.""You all have helped facilitate this charade for long enough and it's time to put an end to the madness," Paul said. "You're investigating three young men for having common sense enough to state the obvious, girls do not belong in boys locker rooms."WATCH: Pardoned father says he was used to silence parents from protecting children: Scott Smith"Please don't tell me that he or she is really a he, we're done playing that game, there is no such thing as a child born in the wrong body You're taking kids who have serious issues and instead of trying to understand why they're rejecting their true selves, you encourage them to go down a path that could lead to irreparable harm to their bodies. It's time for you to act like the adults."Not everyone disagreed with policy 8040, with one female speaker saying that the policy was created with input from experts, data and community feedback to ensure that all students are safe, seen and supported. She said the uproar has conveniently come about because of the gubernatorial election later this year."Transgender people exist. They always have no executive order, sermon or headline or public comment can erase them," she said."We cannot, in good faith, debate policies impacting students if we deny the existence of those very students. That's not discourse. That's dehumanization. We have seen this playbook before, fear mongering, misinformation and political theater all at the expense of vulnerable children. It's happening again, just as it did four years ago.Meanwhile, Youngkin has requested the states attorney general launch an independent investigation into how LCPS has managed the situation, according to Fox 5.The controversy in Loudoun County came the day after parents and residents clashed at a school board meetingin the Chicago areaon Monday after a trans junior high school student won multiple events at a local track meet.
