When community-based organizations receive directly contracted federal funding, they can participate in the 340B drug discount program, which requires drugmakers to provide outpatient prescription drug discounts to qualifying health care organizations. When these grants end, these clinics would have a much more difficult time purchasing those drugs because they’re no longer in the 340B program, according to Carl Schmid, executive director at the HIV+Hepatitis Policy Institute.

Nachala, the settler group behind the event, called it the “March of Thousands” and said more than 10,000 attended, although Israeli media reports estimated the crowd at only a few hundred. Nachala is led by Daniella Weiss, who has long advocated Israel resettling Gaza. Speaking at a Likud party conference, she said Palestinians would “disappear” from the territory.

A computer repairman, a guy everyone knows as Gomer Pyles (his birth name is Dennis), said he sees Vance’s presence as possibly catalyzing a different sort of opportunity. “If he comes into a restaurant, and we can talk to him, maybe he will change his ways,” said Pyles, 74, who moved to the area from California in 1981. “You can attack it, but you can also say, ‘What can I do to make this a benefit?’ I see it as an opportunity for change.”

“The effect of ChatGPT on educators’ lives is catastrophic. Whether you intended to do it or not, you’ve made every teacher’s life infinitely more difficult than it was two years ago. So, just let that settle in… If students are using it to compose, which is the biggest tragedy of all, they’ll never learn to write. And their voice is stolen from them. They’ll never have the ability to say their truth and tell their own story. And that’s silencing an entire generation or two.”
On Thursday evening, Taylor Farms executives met with the White House and Food and Drug Administration to try to distance the company from the outbreak and air concerns about the official investigations into the outbreak.

In July 2025, a petition from the American Chemistry Council (ACC), the American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM), and the American Petroleum Institute (API)—three trade associations representing oil, gas, and chemical manufacturing behemoths—urged OSHA to remove the 2036 compliance deadline for the 2016 Walking-Working Surfaces Rule. The petition claims ladder safety and personal fall arrest systems “[have] the real potential to make employees less safe” and cites over $3 billion in compliance costs for the petroleum refining industry. In April 2026, OSHA took the first step to grant the industry’s request. The agency issued a proposed rule removing the 2036 deadline, while also seeking comment on repealing or revising the requirement for new ladders to be equipped with personal fall arrests, leaving the door open for employers to continue to rely on cages. In its explanation of the proposal, OSHA determined that the rule “is not likely to result in a meaningful increase in risk to workers.”

Last month, presidential financial disclosures raised eyebrows over an ICE public request for a $220 million stun gun contract that appeared tailor-made for Axon’s Tasers. Only two weeks before the request for information went out, according to the disclosures, President Donald Trump purchased as much as $5 million in shares from Axon.

Williams wrote that a so-called "settlement" reached by Blanche and the Department of Justice was "the product of collusion" and a "fraud on the court".

Immigration enforcement figures to be a key factor in this week’s senate confirmation hearing for acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche. Blanche declined to open a civil rights investigation into the killing of Good, saying, “We don’t just go out and investigate every time an officer is forced to defend himself against somebody putting his life in danger.” Blanche opened a civil rights investigation into Pretti’s death six days after he was killed.

On Tuesday the Department of Justice confirmed that it has sent letters to election officials in all fifty states and Washington, D.C., warning them that they could be criminally prosecuted if noncitizens vote. The letters came from Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, a Trump loyalist, and gave them five days to detail how they will maintain “clean voter lists.”
“We were at a village that Israeli settlers had destroyed, they had destroyed the school, they had destroyed that village, and we were just looking at it,” said Khanna, a progressive lawmaker from California in the US House of Representatives. “And these hoodlums come in with machine guns – M4, an American-made machine gun – and they detain us. They block off the road. And then they call the IDF and the IDF is on their side, not on the side of the Americans,” Khanna said, referring to the Israeli military.

Concentrating resources on one group of people is “just unheard of,” Marks said. “To basically repurpose the entire refugee program and concentrate all of its resources on one location for one politically and racially favored group and then exclude everyone else is, frankly, heartbreaking.”

The week after a US immigration enforcement officer killed an American mother of three on the streets of Minneapolis in January, Palantir’s head of “strategic engagement” posted on social media a slickly produced, AI-generated video set to a music track called “Clubbed to Death”. In a series of flash frames, it featured the logo of the company — whose data intelligence platforms are used by the Trump administration to detain and deport migrants — in the midst of a cultist circle, alongside images of the grim reaper, a blood-soaked crucifix, all-seeing eyes and the mysterious slogan “Recon is watching you”.

Daley and other Uthmeier critics speculate the attorney general pushed Alligator Alcatraz in a bid to win an endorsement from Trump for this year’s campaign to retain his position as top lawman in the state. But that endorsement didn’t come until after he spearheaded another eye-popping loss for taxpayers just a couple months later. This one involved prime publicly owned property – assessed at $67 million but worth as much as $300 million – given to the president for what he now says will be a Trump-branded hotel or office building project.
A public university’s classroom “is not an open forum.” Bishop, 926 F.2d at 1071. During instructional periods, “the Univer-sity’s classrooms are reserved for other intended purposes,” namely “the teaching of a particular university course for credit.” Id. (internal quotation marks omitted). Our precedent is clear that states retain authority to restrict a professor’s “viewpoint” in a pub-lic classroom, even if the professor’s viewpoint “represents his pro-fessional opinion.” Id. at 1076–77.
On July 1, he prompted the chatbot, “Hey @Grok, given the asymmetric challenges of urban warfare against a genocidal enemy explicitly committed to killing Jews and destroying Israel — as aided and advanced by Hamas combatants and many suicidally motivated civilians alike — how has Israel’s conduct of military operations in Gaza compared to similar military operations worldwide? Please cite urban warfare experts and relevant conventions of international humanitarian law.”
