(AP Photo/Alex Brandon)2025-04-24T16:08:26Z SAN FRANCISCO (AP) A federal judge in California on Thursday barred the Trump administration from denying or conditioning the use of federal funds to sanctuary jurisdictions. U.S. Judge William Orrick said a preliminary injunction was appropriate because the executive orders were unconstitutional just as they were in 2017 when President Donald Trump announced a similar order. Orrick issued the injunction sought by San Francisco and more than a dozen other municipalities that sued over a pair of executive orders the Republican president issued targeting local municipalities that limit cooperation with federal immigration efforts.Orrick, based in San Francisco, wrote that defendants are restrained and enjoined from directly or indirectly taking any action to withhold, freeze, or condition federal funds and the administration must provide written notice of his order to all federal departments and agencies by Monday.

(Martin Surbeck/Kokolopori Bonobo Research Project via AP)2025-04-24T15:01:50Z NEW YORK (AP) Female bonobos find strength in numbers, teaming up to fend off males in the wild, a new study finds. Along with chimpanzees, bonobos are among humans closest relatives. Scientists have long wondered why bonobos live in generally female-dominated societies since the males are physically bigger and stronger.Three decades of observations in Congo the only place the endangered bonobos are found in the wild lend support to the idea of a sisterhood where female bonobos band together to assert their power. These girl groups chased male bonobos out of trees, securing food for themselves, and females that grouped more ranked higher in their communitys social ladder, researchers found. Its very clear that you dont want to overstep as a male bonobo, said study author Martin Surbeck from Harvard University.Findings were published Thursday in the journal Communications Biology. Female bonobos combined numbers seem to turn the tide against a males physical strength, Surbeck said. Its one of the rare times such a strategy has allowed females to come out on top in the animal kingdom. Spotted hyenas similarly find power in groups.Female bonobos linked up even when they didnt have close ties, supporting one another against the males and cementing their social standing. The observations show how female bonobos work together to protect themselves from male violence, said biological anthropologist Laura Lewis with the University of California, Berkeley. The findings support the idea that humans and our ancestors have likely used coalitions to build and maintain power for millions of years, Lewis, who was not involved with the research, said in an email.___The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institutes Science and Educational Media Group and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

As the second Trump administration rolls back LGBTQ+ rights and visibility, some of his early decisions could prove to be an indirect hit to already marginalized members of the community.The federal government recently terminated millions of dollars in grants towards HIV-related research. The Trump administration is also considering eliminating the CDCs HIV prevention division, and there are concerns about the future of the Ryan White HIV/AIDS programa federal initiative aimed at providing support for people with HIV.One of Trumps most controversial executive orders in his first few days was the reversal of Executive Order 14087 a Biden-era order aimed at lowering prescription drug prices. Some of the points in Bidens order included a cap for out-of-pocket costs at the pharmacy and the power of the Secretary of State to negotiate prices for selected high-cost prescription drugs for Medicare beneficiaries for the first time ever.According to a 2023 report by UCLA School of Laws Williams Institute, LGBTQ+ people experience poverty at a higher percentage rate than their non-LGBTQ+ counterparts. The same is true for the uninsured in Dec. 2021, nearly 10% of LGBTQ+ adults reported being without insurance compared to just over 7% of non-LGBTQ adults.Looking at HIV infections themselves, of 31,800 estimated new infections in 2022, 71% were among gay and bisexual men. Hispanic and Latino men make up 36% of these and Black and African American accounted for another 34%, the two highest percentages among demographics.Latino and Black communities also report higher rates of poverty and uninsurance than white Americans, making them more susceptible to the effects of rising drug costs.Nadeen Israel, Senior Vice President of Policy and Advocacy at AIDS Foundation of Chicago, said most of her work is done with a close focus on Medicaid. She said with the current political climate, the organizations resources, time and efforts are being put into defense mode.Were spending most of our time, essentially trying to hold the line as much as possible on the programs, funding, structure of the systems [amd] the policies that undergird our healthcare system, she said.Part of Israels current research involves finding and seeing which demographics are disproportionately affected by HIV or lack of access to care. She said the data has been consistent for many years that there is a disproportionate impact on Black and Latine folks, specifically men who partner with men, trans women of color and Black cisgender women.Theyve been hit hardest for a while now, and unless we can do better year over year, thats not going to change, Israel said. Unfortunately, in this environment, the worry is that were going to get worse instead of better because of all the attacks on these particular populations.Dr. Richard M. Novak, Chief of the Division of Infectious Diseases at UI Health, received his MD in 1981the year HIV was first described. He started his infectious diseases training in 1986 and began a career of work with the disease and its treatment.When he was working in clinics and initial HIV drugs, he said government support via funding allowed them to get access to the drugs for treating patients. He said this type of program is especially key today for the uninsured or underinsured.The assistance program included coverage of anybody who couldnt afford their medication, he said. You can only hope that the current government doesnt end the Ryan White Program.In regards to Trumps executive order against prescription drugswhich could be challenged in court like many of his ordersIsrael said the impact will not be felt right away. However, she said Medicare is able to negotiate prices over some drugs with pharmaceutical companies, and she could see that being one of the first things to be limited.Unfortunately, in this environment, the worry is that were going to get worse instead of better because of all the attacks on these particular populations.Nadeen IsraelThe funding cuts to social services and organizations couldand are alreadycausing problems of their own. Israel said when these people get laid off and lose their jobs, communities also lose all of that institutional knowledge as well as access to the services, which could take decades to build back up.Novak said drug treatment has evolved over the years and given rise to incredible options, but many are still highly priced. He said there are slightly less expensive generic optionsor even those which have been more or less phased out due to more intense side effectswhich could be options for people if the government were to withdraw support for medication.When it comes to how that could affect marginalized communities, Novak said those types of rollbacks could just continue to pile on to the attacks on the trans community.I mean, this government is anti-trans, so its really making it very difficult for trans people to exist in society, he said. Fortunately here in Illinois we have a haven, but elsewhere in the country, its more difficult.During the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Israel said they saw a jump in HIV diagnoses because they werent able to be out in communities testing and talking about PrEP and PEP. She said cutting services related to HIV will have the same effect and send prevention work backwards.Potential Medicaid cuts would also disproportionately harm those living with HIVaccording to Israel, 41% of HIV+ people are on the program. She said those cuts, if they occurred, would be felt immediately.Illinois and other states cannot bear [or] makeup for the cost, she said. Theres no way, just because its to the tune of billions, a few billion dollars a year. Even if states were willing to raise some taxes that they have control over in order to make up for it, they cant raise taxes enough without impacting other parts of the economy.Beyond changes and attacks on policy, Israel said Republicans verbal and psychological attacks on queer young people, the trans community, the HIV+ community and more equates to lifetime damage that wont just reverse undo a new administration. However, she said there are small actions people can take to help fight back, such as going to protests or town halls.Joining as folks can is really, really important, and it works, she said. It works in pushing back and we can beat them back. We can stop these policies, but it will take many, many people to turn out until we ultimately win.The post Cuts to HIV funding and health services could hit LGBTQ+ communities hard appeared first on News Is Out.

(AAL) on Thursday, July 22 reported second-quarter net income of $19 million, after reporting a loss in the same period a year earlier. (AP Photo/Steven Senne)2025-04-24T15:07:18Z Major U.S. airlines are reducing their flight schedules and revising or withdrawing their profit outlooks for the year due to less domestic travel demand as sentiment about the national and global economies sours.American Airlines pulled its financial guidance for 2025 on Thursday, joining rivals Southwest and Delta in declaring the economic outlook too uncertain to provide full-year forecasts. All three airlines cited weakening sales among economy class leisure travelers. We came off a strong fourth quarter, saw decent business in January, and really domestic leisure travel fell off considerably as we went into the February time frame, American Airlines CEO Robert Isom told CNBC.Consumer reluctance to book vacations would correspond with a new poll that showed many people fear the U.S. is being steered into a recession and that President Donald Trumps broad and haphazardly enforced tariffs will cause prices to rise. Some economic indicators point to expectations of a slowdown. Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes slowed in March, and U.S. consumer sentiment plunged in April, the fourth consecutive month of declines. However, fears of a downturn have not translated into layoffs. Trump announced sweeping tariffs on April 2 that triggered panic in financial markets and generated recession fears, leading consumers and businesses to start pulling back on spending, which includes travel. The president put a partial 90-day hold on the import taxes but increased his already steep tariffs against China. Beijing increased its import tax on American goods to 125% in retaliation. On Thursday China denied Trumps assertion that the two sides were involved in active negotiations to end or mitigate their trade war. American Airlines said it would give an update on its full-year guidance as the economic outlook becomes clearer. Airline executives said sales among business travelers and for premium seats on long-haul international flights remained solid. Southwest Airlines reported late Wednesday that it would trim its flight schedule for the second half of the year due to lower demand. The company also said it could not reaffirm its 2025 and 2026 outlooks for earnings before interest and taxes, given current macroeconomic uncertainty. United Airlines last week gave two different financial forecasts for how it may perform this year, one if theres a recession and one if not. The airline said it planned to reduce its scheduled domestic flights by 4% starting in July in response to lower-than-expected demand for economy fare tickets.We think there is a reasonable chance things can weaken from here, United CEO Scott Kirby said. Delta Air Lines, the nations most profitable carrier, predicted as recently as January that the company was on track for the best financial year in its history. Earlier this month, the airline scratched its performance expectations for 2025 and said it was putting a planned flight schedule expansion on hold. With broad economic uncertainty around global trade, growth has largely stalled, Delta CEO Ed Bastian said at the time. In this slower-growth environment, we are protecting margins and cash flow by focusing on what we can control. This includes reducing planned capacity growth in the second half of the year.The parent companies of Frontier Airlines and Alaska Airlines also pulled their 2025 guidance.

Its a wonder he lived as long as he did given his clear dependency on letting God into his heart. By the end, he was probably getting the Blessed Sacrament once or twice every day just to function. There are also some signs he was mixing in other sacramentspenance, the anointing of the sick, or whatever he needed to hit that spiritual high he got off his first communion wafer.

Harvey Weinstein appears for his retrial in Manhattan Criminal Court, Thursday, April 24, 2025, in New York. (Spencer Platt/Pool Photo via AP)2025-04-24T18:41:53Z NEW YORK (AP) Hovering in the doorway of her roommates bedroom one evening in July 2006, TV production assistant Miriam Haley said Harvey Weinstein her boss had forcibly performed oral sex on her, her then-roommate testified Thursday at the ex-movie moguls retrial.I said, Miriam, that sounds like rape. I think you should call a lawyer, but a shaken Haley seemed disinclined to do so, recalled the ex-roommate, Elizabeth Entin. If secondhand, it was the first testimony jurors have gotten so far about any of the alleged sexual assaults at the heart of the retrial, which opened Wednesday. Haley and two other accusers are expected to testify later in the weekslong proceeding. Weinstein, 73, maintains that he has never sexually assaulted or raped anyone. His lawyers argue that his accusers consented to sexual encounters with the Oscar-winning producer in hopes of getting ahead in the entertainment business. Weinstein was transformed in 2017 from a Hollywood tycoon into the #MeToo movements archvillain, after a series of sexual misconduct allegations against him became public. He was convicted in 2020 of raping Jessica Mann, who was once an aspiring actor, and sexually assaulting Haley, who worked on the Weinstein-produced Project Runway. But New Yorks highest court overturned his conviction last year, finding that the trial judge had allowed prejudicial testimony. The reversal led to the retrial, which includes an additional allegation of forcible oral sex on a different woman, former model Kaja Sokola. Weinstein has pleaded not guilty to all the charges. Entin was among the witnesses who are returning to the stand five years after testifying in the landmark #MeToo case. But prosecutors, some defense lawyers and the judge are different and so are the contours of what testimony and evidence is being elicited.For instance, this time Entin didnt give any details of what she said Haley told her about the alleged sexual assault. While Entin hadnt finished her testimony as of midday, it didnt appear likely that she would be asked about a recollection that made for a memorable and rare light moment at the first trial a time when she said Weinstein showed up uninvited and was chased around the womens apartment by Entins pet Chihuahua. Farber had indicated he didnt think that having Entin describe the purported episode was fair game for the trial. Entin, a fashion startup founder and consultant, has discussed her earlier testimony in a book, on podcasts and in some interviews. Weinstein attorney Jennifer Bonjean confronted her with instances in which Entin referred to her participation in the first trial as her 15 minutes of fame and compared gearing up for testifying to preparing for battle.Maam, Entin responded tensely, this is a form of very civilized battle. The voluble Entin said that her writing style was sometimes mildly hyperbolic, but that shed been describing how she girded herself for a daunting experience. The Associated Press does not identify people who allege they have been sexually assaulted unless they agree to be named. Haley, Mann and Sokola have done so.

President Donald Trump speaks with reporters after signing executive orders in the Oval Office of the White House, Wednesday, April 23, 2025, in Washington. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)2025-04-24T17:42:17Z NEW YORK (AP) A judge on Thursday blocked the Trump administration from immediately enacting certain changes to how federal elections are run, including adding a proof-of-citizenship requirement to the federal voter registration form.President Donald Trump had called for that and other sweeping changes to U.S. elections in an executive order signed in March, arguing the U.S. fails to enforce basic and necessary election protections that exist in other countries.U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly in Washington sided with voting rights groups and Democrats to grant a preliminary injunction to stop the citizenship requirement from moving forward while the lawsuit plays out. She also blocked part of the Republican presidents executive order requiring public assistance enrollees to have their citizenship assessed before getting access to the federal voter registration form.But she denied other requests from a group of Democratic plaintiffs, including refusing to block Trumps order to tighten mail ballot deadlines. Also denied in the order was the Democrats request to stop Trump from directing the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Government Efficiency to review state voter lists alongside immigration databases. The judges order halts the Trump administrations efforts to push through a proof-of-citizenship mandate that Republicans have said is needed to restore public confidence in elections. Voting in federal elections by noncitizens is already illegal and can result in felony charges and deportation. The Democratic National Committee, the League of United Latin American Citizens, the League of Women Voters Education Fund and others had sued to block Trumps order, calling it unconstitutional. They argued it violates the Constitutions so-called Elections Clause, which gives states, not the president, the authority to determine how elections are run.The plaintiffs also argued that Trumps order asserts power that he does not have over an independent agency. That agency, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, sets voluntary voting system guidelines and maintains the federal voter registration form.During an April 17 hearing, attorneys for the plaintiffs had argued that requiring proof of citizenship on the federal voter registration form would complicate their clients voter registration drives at grocery stores and other public places.Aria Branch, counsel for the Democrats, also argued the executive orders effort to tighten mail ballot deadlines would irreparably harm her clients by forcing them to reallocate resources to help voters navigate the changes.Thats time, money and organizational resources and strategy that cant be recouped, she said.Michael Gates, counsel for the Trump administration, said in the hearing a preliminary injunction wasnt warranted because the order hadnt been implemented and a citizenship requirement would not be on the federal voter registration form for many months. The parties in the case didnt immediately comment on the judges Thursday order.The decision comes as state and local election officials from across the country are meeting to consider the implications of Trumps executive order on their work.The U.S. Election Assistance Commissions Standards Board, which was holding a public hearing in North Carolina on Thursday, is a bipartisan advisory group of election officials from every state that meets annually.Meanwhile, other lawsuits against Trumps order are still pending.In early April, 19 Democratic attorneys general asked the court to reject Trumps executive order. Washington and Oregon, which both hold all-mail elections, followed with their own lawsuit against the order.The U.S. differs from many other countries in that it does not hold national elections run by the federal government. Instead, elections are decentralized overseen by the states and run by thousands of local jurisdictions. ALI SWENSON Swenson covers politics and the information landscape for The Associated Press.

This photo provided by Daniel Rubinoff in April 2025 shows a new species of carnivorous caterpillar, left, which uses a protective case made with insect parts, near a spider in Oahu, Hawaii. (Courtesy Daniel Rubinoff via AP)2025-04-24T18:01:02Z NEW YORK (AP) A new carnivorous caterpillar that wears the remains of its prey has been dubbed the bone collector.The odd insect is only found on the Hawaiian island of Oahu. It creeps along spiderwebs, feeding on trapped insects and decorating its silk case with their body parts.There are other meat-eating caterpillars that do lots of crazy things, but this takes the cake, said study author Dan Rubinoff with the University of Hawaii at Manoa.Scientists think the case might act as camouflage, allowing the caterpillar to feast on the spiders ensnared meals without getting caught.A host of caterpillars native to Hawaii use silk glands to spin protective cases studded with lichen, sand and other materials. This one is the first to use ant heads and fly wings.It really is an astonishing type of case, said Steven Montgomery, an entomology consultant in Hawaii who was not involved with the new study. Findings were published Thursday in the journal Science. Scientists found just 62 of the carnivorous caterpillars in over 20 years of observing.Predatory caterpillars are extremely rare and the bone collectors found in Hawaii will even eat each other, researchers said. The bone collectors origins date back at least 6 million years, making the caterpillars more ancient than the Hawaiian islands themselves. Today, they dwell on an isolated patch of mountain forest alongside invasive species. There is really a concern that we need to do better with conservation, said Rubinoff.___The Associated Press Health and Science Department receives support from the Howard Hughes Medical Institutes Science and Educational Media Group and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
