Honored to speak @IAFFofficial convention about our work to keep firefighters safe, protect critical funding, and ensure union integrity. @Sonderling47 and I stand with the American worker—and @POTUS continues to be the greatest friend first responders have ever had @WhiteHouse.

J.K. Rowling refuses to back down, taking aim at transgender activism in a new essay that calls the movement "elitist to its core." The "Harry Potter" author says her views haven't changed in six years, despite facing what she describes as an "avalanche of death, rape and torture threats." Rowling maintains her commitment to defending female-only spaces, arguing that women's safety and privacy should remain protected despite intense criticism of her position. The essay comes amid continued backlash against Rowling, including a recent protest at a London performance of "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child." Activists demonstrated on the red carpet, with one wearing a shirt reading "Rowling money kills." See how Rowling addresses years of backlash and why she says her position remains unchanged:

Their service is remembered. Their sacrifice is never forgotten. Earlier today, CAL FIRE joined firefighters, families, and honor guards from across the country in Colorado Springs, Colorado, for the IAFF Fallen Firefighter Memorial Ceremony. Each September, the fire service comes together to remember firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. As part of the gathering, the names of fallen firefighters are added to the Memorial Wall, creating a permanent tribute to their service and sacrifice. This year, two CAL FIRE names were added to the wall: ▪ Danny Cook ▪ Jason Craig Their names will remain alongside those of firefighters from across the country who gave their lives serving others. #FallenFireFighterMemorial# #NeverForget# #IAFF#
