SCOOP: House Republicans request ban on federally funded ‘transgender animal’ experiments in 2026 budget
FIRST ON FOX: A group of House Republicans are requesting Fiscal Year 2026 spending bills to include language prohibiting federal funding for transgender experiments on animals.
Republican Reps. Paul Gosar, Elijah Crane, Abraham J. Hamadeh of Arizona, Lauren Boebert of Colorado, Brandon Gill of Texas, Nancy Mace of South Carolina, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Pete Stauber of Minnesota and Troy E. Nehls of Texas are urging the chairman and ranking member of the Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies to prohibit transgender experiments on animals in its FY2026 appropriations bill.
House Republicans have requested the committee include the following language: «None of the funds made available by this or any other Act thereafter may be used for research on vertebrate animals for the purpose of studying the effects of drugs, surgery, or other interventions to alter the human body (including by disrupting the body’s development, inhibiting its natural functions, or modifying its appearance) to no longer correspond to its biological sex.»
The letter, addressed to Chairman Rep. Robert Aderholt, R-Ala., and Ranking Member Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., points to the dozens of National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants issued during former President Joe Biden’s administration that are funding «wasteful and disturbing experiments to create ‘transfeminine’ and ‘transmasculine’ lab animals using invasive surgeries and hormone therapies.»

«The transgender animals are then wounded, shocked, injected with street drugs and vaccines, and subjected to other disturbing procedures,» the House Republicans said in the letter, as Fox News Digital reported earlier this year.
«President Trump has personally criticized these experiments on several occasions, and the Department of Government Efficiency has canceled millions in NIH grants funding transgender animal testing. However, many of these NIH grants funding gender transitions for lab animals are still active,» House GOP members said.

President Donald Trump condemned transgender animal experiments during his joint address to Congress in March. The White Coat Waste Project, a government watchdog group that testified about transgender animal experiments on Capitol Hill earlier this year, told Fox News Digital there are still «29 active taxpayer-funded grants that have been used to fund transgender animal tests.»
«We urge you to include the language above in the FY26 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies bill to ensure no more taxpayer dollars are wasted to fund transgender animal tests,» the Republicans said in the letter.
The White Coat Waste Project, in a statement to Fox News Digital, touted their role in halting taxpayer-funded «transgender animal tests,» and celebrated the House Republicans’ bill, led by Gosar, to stop more federally funded experiments.

«Thanks to White Coat Waste’s viral investigations and collaboration with Rep. Paul Gosar and others in Congress, the Trump Administration has slashed spending on wasteful experiments that subject lab animals to invasive surgeries and hormone therapies to crudely mimic gender transitions in kids and adults and then wound, shock and inject the animals with vaccines and overdoses of sex party drugs,» Justin Goodman, Senior Vice President of White Coat Waste Project, said.

«These Trump cuts have already saved thousands of lab animals and millions of tax dollars, but dozens more NIH grants that funnel tax dollars to disturbing transgender animal tests are still active. Taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to foot the bill for wasteful and cruel transgender animal tests, and Rep. Gosar’s commonsense effort to permanently defund them will ensure they won’t have to.»

Un nuevo ataque ruso con drones impactó sobre una zona residencial de la localidad de Bogodukhiv, en la región de Kharkiv, noreste de Ucrania. El bombardeo dejó esta madrugada cuatro víctimas mortales, incluidos tres niños, según informó el Servicio Estatal de Emergencias de Ucrania.
Entre los fallecidos se encuentran dos niños de un año, una niña de dos años y un hombre de 34 años, cuyos cuerpos fueron recuperados por rescatistas entre los escombros tras el ataque.
La vivienda impactada quedó completamente destruida y se originó un incendio en la zona de 60 m2, de acuerdo con el informe oficial. Además de las cuatro víctimas fatales, otras dos personas —una de ellas una mujer embarazada de 35 años— resultaron heridas.
Tras el ataque, equipos del Servicio Estatal de Emergencias, entre ellos zapadores y adiestradores caninos, participaron en las labores para eliminar los restos y asegurar la zona afectada. El servicio de rescate informó además que psicólogos estuvieron presentes en el lugar para brindar apoyo a los afectados por el suceso.
La fiscalía regional afirmó que inició una investigación “por la comisión de un crimen de guerra que ha provocado la muerte de civiles”.
En Zaporizhzhia, la ofensiva dejó cerca de 11.000 usuarios sin electricidad, según informó el gobernador Iván Fedorov.
El Estado Mayor de las Fuerzas Armadas de Ucrania informó que, durante la madrugada del 11 de febrero (a partir de las 18:30 del 10 de febrero), Rusia lanzó 129 ataques con drones de los tipos Shahed (de fabricación iraní), Gerbera, Italmas y otros modelos, desde las regiones de Bryansk, Kursk, Millerovo, Primorsko-Akhtarsk (todas en Rusia) y desde Donetsk, en territorio ucraniano. Alrededor de 80 de estos drones eran del tipo Shahed.
La ofensiva aérea fue enfrentada por la aviación ucraniana, tropas de misiles antiaéreos, unidades de guerra electrónica y sistemas no tripulados. Según los datos preliminares, hasta las 08:00 (horario local), la defensa aérea ucraniana logró derribar o neutralizar 112 drones enemigos.
En las horas previas al reciente ataque, el presidente ucraniano Volodimir Zelensky anunció una reestructuración de su defensa aérea en varias regiones tras los continuos bombardeos rusos que dejaron a millones de personas sin electricidad ni calefacción durante el invierno.
La decisión del mandatario fue oficializada luego de reunirse con el comandante en jefe de las Fuerzas Armadas, el jefe del Estado Mayor y el ministro de Defensa. A su vez, ordenó transformar por completo el funcionamiento de los sistemas defensivos en las zonas más afectadas.
Zelensky explicó que la reorganización abarcará tanto a los interceptores como a los grupos móviles de fuego y toda la estructura de las defensas aéreas locales. El presidente agradeció el esfuerzo de los equipos de protección civil, la colaboración de los aliados internacionales que enviaron ayuda y el trabajo de los electricistas que siguen restableciendo el suministro.
En ciertas divisiones administrativas, la reorganización será casi total, con una nueva coordinación de interceptores, unidades móviles adicionales y la defensa de corto alcance. Además, se implementarán ajustes en la gestión y supervisión del suministro de drones, armamento y personal, con énfasis en la formación y refuerzo de brigadas como eje central del nuevo esquema defensivo.
El comandante en jefe de Ucrania, coronel general Oleksandr Syrskyi, informó que la línea del frente actual se extiende a lo largo de unos 1.200 kilómetros en las regiones oriental y sur del país.
Syrskyi destacó que los avances tecnológicos en el uso de drones por parte de ambos bandos han ampliado la llamada “zona de muerte”, es decir, el área de mayor riesgo para las tropas, que ahora alcanza una profundidad de hasta 20 kilómetros.

Grand jury rejects DOJ effort to indict Democratic lawmakers who urged military to defy illegal orders
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A grand jury in the nation’s capital on Tuesday refused the Justice Department’s attempt to indict a group of Democratic lawmakers who encouraged U.S. military members to ignore «illegal» orders in a video posted online.
The DOJ opened an investigation into the video featuring six Democratic lawmakers calling on troops and members of the intelligence community to defy illegal orders from the federal government. The lawmakers all served in the military or at intelligence agencies.
The lawmakers in the video were Sens. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan and Mark Kelly of Arizona, as well as Reps. Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire and Jason Crow of Colorado.
«This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens,» the lawmakers said in the video. «Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution. Right now, the threats coming to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad but from right here at home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.»

Grand jurors declined to sign off on charges against the lawmakers, according to The Associated Press. It was not immediately clear whether prosecutors had pursued indictments against all six lawmakers or what charges they attempted to bring.
Prosecutors could still attempt to secure an indictmentto secure an indictment against the Democrats.
President Donald Trump had accused the lawmakers of being «traitors» who engaged in «sedition at the highest level» and «should be in jail.» He even suggested they should be executed over the video, although he later attempted to walk that comment back.
Slotkin, who previously worked at the CIA and Defense Department, was targeted with a bomb threat just days after the clip and Trump’s subsequent statements suggesting the Democrats be executed.

«Tonight we can score one for the Constitution, our freedom of speech, and the rule of law,» Slotkin said in a statement on Tuesday. «But today wasn’t just an embarrassing day for the Administration. It was another sad day for our country.»
Kelly, a former Navy pilot, called the attempt to bring charges an «outrageous abuse of power by Donald Trump and his lackeys.»
«Donald Trump wants every American to be too scared to speak out against him,» Kelly said on X. «The most patriotic thing any of us can do is not back down.»
In November, the Pentagon launched an investigation into Kelly, pointing to a federal law that allows retired service members to be recalled to active duty on orders of the secretary for possible court-martial or other punishment.
Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth has censured Kelly and is attempting to retroactively demote Kelly from his retired rank of captain over his participation in the video, which affirms that refusing unlawful orders is a standard part of military protocol.

«As a retired Navy Captain who is still receiving a military pension, Captain Kelly knows he is still accountable to military justice,» Hegseth wrote in an X post on Jan. 5.
Kelly responded by suing Hegseth to block those proceedings, which he called an unconstitutional act of retribution.
During a hearing last week, a judge appeared to be skeptical of key arguments that a government attorney made in defense of Hegseth’s move last month to censure the Arizona senator.
