Loudoun County transgender substitute charged with making school threats

A substitute teacher in Loudoun County, Virginia, who reportedly identifies as female, was arrested Thursday for making threats against a high school. Loudoun County, a formerly ruby-red but now deep-blue suburb between Washington, D.C., and Winchester, has long been ground zero for transgender-related controversies, including sexual assaults on students and disputes over bathroom policies. Hadyn Dollery, 19, of Chantilly, Virginia, was arrested and charged with making “threats of bodily injury” after local sheriffs received tips through the “Safe2Talk” application that the individual was threatening to commit violence at a high school near Aldie. Dollery was later arrested, however, not on school property, and is being held at the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center in Leesburg. PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER REVEALS YEARS-LONG EFFORT TO EXPOSE ALLEGED STUDENT ABORTION SCANDAL Fox News Digital reached out to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) to confirm a report that law enforcement told Washington’s ABC affiliate that Dollery identifies as female and is being housed with other men. Dollery was a “non-licensed” substitute teacher for the 2025-26 school year and is no longer on the available substitute list for the district, according to FOX’s Washington affiliate. Nineteen-year-olds may make themselves available as substitutes so long as they have a high school diploma or equivalency approved by the Virginia Department of Education, Loudoun County Public Schools told the affiliate. Dan Adams, a spokesman for LCPS, told Fox News Digital the district does not discuss personnel matters. “However, LCPS takes all threats seriously, as student and staff safety is our highest priority. In this case the substitute is no longer on our substitute list and will no longer be allowed to substitute at LCPS.” Loudoun County Dep. Chris Freck wrote in the criminal complaint that Dollery threatened several people via the Discord app in a message to a friend, according to the Loudoun Times. WISCONSIN PARENTS CLAIM SCHOOL PUNISHED DAUGHTERS FOR REFUSING TO CHANGE IN FRONT OF TRANS STUDENT The paper further reported the message or messages spoke of committing a “murder spree” at a school and that a “kill list” was identified. Fox News Digital reached out to LCPS for further comment. In 2021, Scott Smith — the father of a Loudoun County schoolgirl who was allegedly sexually assaulted by a skirt-wearing, female-identifying biological male in a restroom — recounted to Fox News being tackled by police at a school board meeting where he sought to voice objections to school policies. CALIFORNIA TEEN VOWS TO KEEP FIGHTING AFTER CONFRONTING SCHOOL DISTRICT OVER TRANS ATHLETE: ‘THIS IS NOT OK’ “I am good with gay people and cross-gender people — anybody who wants to be a good American, I am good with — I went there to find out why our children were not safe,” he told “The Ingraham Angle.” “The next thing I know, another parent-activist approached my wife and started antagonizing her, and I turned around and said stop.” Smith said he tried to tell the woman how his daughter was assaulted in the restroom at Stone Bridge High School, but she persisted: “She looked me dead in the face and said, ‘That’s not what happened.’ That struck me — how do you know what happened, you don’t even know me?” Then-Gov. Glenn Youngkin told Fox News Digital at the time that Smith deserved a “universal apology” for that incident. “He stood up for his daughter’s rights and his daughter had been sexually assaulted,” Youngkin said.
Reporter’s Notebook: Spring cleaning resignations rock House as ethics storm builds

It’s time for spring cleaning. Specifically, House spring cleaning. As in the House of Representatives. Former Reps. Tony Gonzales, R-Texas, and Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., resigned last week amid allegations of sexual harassment — and even sexual assault in the case of Swalwell. An aide with whom Gonzales had an affair set herself on fire and died. HOUSE DEMS DEFY JEFFRIES, VOTE TO REBUKE PROGRESSIVE OVER CONTROVERSIAL ELECTION MOVE Former Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, D-Fla., resigned this week moments before the House Ethics Committee was slated to recommend expulsion as the panel found she violated 25 House rules. The Florida Democrat faces trial next winter for allegedly bilking FEMA out of $5 million in pandemic relief — and then funneling it to her campaign. “She was put in an absolutely terrible position by the Ethics Committee. This was not a fair process,” argued Cherfilus-McCormick’s attorney William Barzee. “But she was left with no choice (but to resign).” Barzee asserted that the ethics panel shouldn’t prescribe punishment for his client until her separate criminal trial is complete. The House used to sit out on launching ethics inquiries for members facing criminal charges. INDICTED DEMOCRAT SHEILA CHERFILUS-MCCORMICK FACES RARE HOUSE ETHICS HEARING However, that changed in late 2023 when the House voted to expel former Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., after he was accused of a host of fraud allegations — including his contrivance of his life story in order to win election. The House voted to expel Santos before his criminal trial where he was later convicted and jailed. He was sentenced to 87 months but released after only serving three after President Donald Trump commuted his sentence. But kicking out Santos before his conviction in court established a new House precedent. “It was setting a standard that we’re going to have and keep and it’s going to apply to every Member from now on,” said Rep. Greg Meeks, D-N.Y., the top Democrat on the Foreign Affairs Committee. LEARNING CURVE: THE NEW PLAYERS IN CONGRESS “Just because one person before (Cherfilus-McCormick) experienced this, it doesn’t make it right. We’re on a very slippery slope here with what we’re doing,” said Rep. Joyce Beatty, D-Ohio. Let’s say the Ethics Committee recommended expulsion and then the House voted to expel Cherfilus-McCormick — that could have helped prejudice a jury against the former Congresswoman. That may be the very reason she stepped down just before the Ethics Committee acted. “I made a joke that my level of tolerance was at $6 million for stealing from the public,” said Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn. “What will happen is we’ll clean up our act up here for a little while, and then the dirt bags are going to dirt bag.” Cherfilus-McCormick was the third House Member to resign in an eight-day stretch. “Why are we in this period now? Are there just more unethical people or is there something else going on?” yours truly asked Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va. “I don’t think we have more unethical people. We’ve had unethical people everywhere in our society for a long time,” replied Beyer. As they say, we absolutely have representative government in the United States. Congress mirrors America. Questions now swirl about Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., and whether he should step aside — or even face expulsion. He’s accused of domestic violence and campaign finance abuses. INDICTED DEMOCRAT SHEILA CHERFILUS-MCCORMICK TO RESIGN FROM CONGRESS AMID EXPULSION THREAT “If he had done things, similar to what the other two (Swalwell and Gonzales) did, then he shouldn’t be here,” said Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Wis. “If you treat women that poorly, you have no business being here. Just matter of fact, you need to get your a** whooped.” For the record, an “a** whooping” is not among the three historic forms of discipline in the House. Sanctions are typically reprimand, censure and expulsion. Mills contends he’s not going anywhere. “I do not plan to resign,” said Mills. “I’ve never been indicted for anything. I’ve never been found guilty of any open cases that involve criminal or civil cases.” But one Republican believes the House should possibly take action against Mills. “I mean, who hasn’t denied allegations?” asked Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo. “You had three resignations. The swamp is kind of draining itself right now.” Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., has threatened to trigger an expulsion resolution for Mills — but hasn’t forced the issue yet. In retaliation, Mills drafted an expulsion measure for Mace. “This is a woman who continues to try and go after and attack people because she thinks it’s good for clickbait on social media and for the simple concept of sensationalizing something that she can fundraise off of,” charged Mills of Mace. “If, by her own definition, that you only need to be alleged or accused of something, and or investigated, then by her admission, she herself should be expelled.” NANCY MACE CALLS ON CONGRESS TO RELEASE SEXUAL HARASSMENT RECORDS, WANTS AN ‘AVALANCHE OF RESIGNATIONS’ House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., seems exasperated by the chatter about resignations and expulsions. “I’ve talked about this ad nauseam. We’re going to allow due process to play out here,” said Johnson. “That’s all I’m going to say about it.” But some lawmakers believe that the current House ethics process demands changes. “It should be sped up,” said Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., of the Mills inquiry. “It seems like that’s been taking a long time. I think that’s a long for the American people. Why is an investigation taking two years?” “Candidly, (investigations) should be taking days and weeks. Not months and years,” said Rep. Johnny Olszewski, D-Md. Republicans are now focusing on someone else. “I want (Rep.) Ilhan Omar to resign next when she’s admitted to lying on her financial disclosure form,” said Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., of the Minnesota Democrat. “Cory (Mills) denies all the charges against him. She’s admitted to lying on a financial disclosure. That’s a much bigger deal.” “Make no mistake, if Ilhan Omar is discovered to have been involved
SEE IT: 2-year-old steals show at White House as Trump spotlights ‘miracle cure’ for deaf boy

During an event at the White House on Thursday, President Donald Trump highlighted a 2-year-old boy, Travis Smith, who was born deaf but can now hear after taking a “miracle cure.” The child can now “hear his mom, Sierra, say, ‘I love you,’” the president said, inviting the mother to speak. “Regeneron works miracles,” the woman said, referring to the company behind the treatment. MICHAEL AND SUSAN DELL SURPASS $1 BILLION IN DONATIONS BACKING AI-DRIVEN HOSPITAL PROJECT “He didn’t know his name. He couldn’t hear me tell him how much I love him. And now with Regeneron and this amazing surgery, he can listen to music. And he loves it. And he loves to dance,” she said. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has given accelerated approval for Regeneron’s Otarmeni gene therapy product, the company said in a statement. PSYCHEDELIC THERAPY MAY BE COMING TO YOUR DOCTOR’S OFFICE AS QUESTIONS SWIRL The company indicated that the treatment will be made available for free in the U.S. “Regeneron will provide Otarmeni at no cost to clinically eligible individuals in the U.S. This may not necessarily reflect out-of-pocket costs for administration of this free therapy, which would be outside of the control of Regeneron; individuals should consult with their healthcare provider and/or insurance provider,” the company said. Administering the treatment involves surgery, according to the company. “The surgical procedure to administer Otarmeni uses an approach similar to cochlear implantation and allows use in young infants,” the statement said. “Otarmeni should be administered by a surgeon experienced in intracochlear surgery and trained in the Otarmeni administration process and should only be administered using the provided Administration Kit for use with Otarmeni.” TRUMP ADMIN LOOSENS REGULATIONS ON STATE-LICENSED MEDICAL MARIJUANA Trump noted during the White House event that Regeneron has “agreed to offer their prescription medications at heavily discounted most favored nation prices.” “With this announcement, 17 of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies, representing 80% of the branded drug market, have now agreed to sell their drugs to American patients at the lowest prices anywhere in the world,” he said.
