WASHINGTONIn the wake of the Trump administrations decision to require employers to pay a $100,000 fee in order to hire immigrant physicians on H-1B visas, clinics closures across rural America this week have reportedly forced many residents to rely on a horse who stomps twice when a patient has cancer. Without access to board-certified oncologists in their area, millions of Americans have no choice but to head to the fairgrounds to visit Old Hickory, the Astounding Medical Equine, who, for just 50 cents, can diagnose a man, woman, or child with leukemia faster than any big-city doctor, said National Rural Health Association spokesperson Rachel McKidd, noting that after the horse gives a patient a whiff, he will clomp his hoof once for a clean bill of health, twice if he detects cancer in early stages, and thrice if he determines the condition is inoperable. These healthcare deserts leave countless Americans faced with the impossible choice of whether or not to skip work and wait in line all day for the chance to step right up and see the Prognosticatin Pony when the county fair comes to town. In fact, in many areas of the country, Old Hickory has become the sole provider of preventive care, diagnostic testing, and rides. While Old Hickory may be highly effective at his job, he is clearly overworked and simply does not have the capacity to whinny every time he smells diabetes on the 40 million rural Americans who lack proper access to primary care providers. At press time, sources confirmed Old Hickory had been placed on indefinite leave from medical duties after kicking a patient who had spooked him.The post Clinic Closures Force More Rural Americans To Rely On Horse Who Stomps Twice When Patient Has Cancer appeared first on The Onion.

Options trader Steven Rodriguez works on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange, Friday, Nov. 21, 2025. (AP Photo/Richard Drew)2025-12-09T04:48:42Z NEW YORK (AP) U.S. stocks largely held in place on Tuesday as Wall Street waits to hear what the Federal Reserve will say Wednesday about where interest rates are heading.The S&P 500 edged down by 0.1% and remained near its all-time high set in October. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 179 points, or 0.4%, and the Nasdaq composite added 0.1%.JPMorgan Chase was the heaviest weight on the market after a top executive, Marianne Lake, said the banks expenses could rise to $105 billion next year.That would be up 9% from an estimated $95.9 billion in expenses this year, though Lake also said JPMorgan Chase is feeling pretty good about the underlying financial health of the borrowers in our portfolio. Its stock fell 4.7%.Another drop came from Toll Brothers, which lost 2.4% after the homebuilder reported weaker results for the latest quarter than analysts expected. CEO Douglas Yearley Jr. said demand for new homes remains soft across many markets, and he talked about affordability pressures that could be affecting potential homebuyers. One big factor in that affordability question is mortgage rates. Theyre cheaper than they were at the start of the year, though they perked up a bit after October. Thats largely because of questions in the bond market about how much more the Federal Reserve will cut its main interest rate. The widespread expectation is that the Fed will cut interest rates Wednesday afternoon, which would be the third such easing of the year. Lower interest rates can give the economy and prices for investments a boost, though the downside is they can worsen inflation. The U.S. stock market has run to the edge of its records in part because of the growing assumption that the Fed will cut rates again on Wednesday. The big question is what the Fed will say about where interest rates will go after that. Many on Wall Street are bracing for talk aimed at tamping down expectations for more cuts in 2026. Inflation has stubbornly remained above the Feds 2% target, and Fed officials are notably split in their opinions about whether high inflation or the slowing job market is the bigger threat to the economy.Treasury yields climbed in the bond market after a report on Tuesday showed that U.S. employers were advertising 7.7 million job openings at the end of October. Thats up a smidgen from the month before and the highest number since May. If the job market is not worsening, it may not need as much help from the Fed through more cuts to rates.After the report on job openings came out, the yield on the 10-year Treasury erased what had been an earlier dip and rose to 4.18% from 4.17% late Monday.The yield on the two-year Treasury, which moves more closely with expectations for what the Fed will do, rose to 3.60% from 3.57% late Monday.Elsewhere on Wall Street, Exxon Mobil climbed 2% after increasing its forecast for profit over the next five years, thanks in part to strength for its fields in the Permian basin in the United States and off Guyanas shore. Ares Management rallied 7.3% after S&P Dow Jones Indices said the investment company will join its widely followed S&P 500 index. It will replace Kellanova, the maker of Pringles and Pop-Tarts, which is being bought by Mars, the company behind Snickers and M&Ms.CVS Health rose 2.2% after unveiling new financial forecasts, including expectations for annual compounded growth in earnings per share at a mid-teens percentage over the next three years. AP AUDIO: Wall Street drifts near its record high as Exxon Mobil climbs U.S. stocks have been stable in early trading. Home Depot fell 1.3% after flipping between gains and losses. It gave a preliminary forecast for 2026 that said the broad home improvement market may shrink by up to 1%. But it also gave a separate set of forecasts saying its earnings per share could grow in the mid- to high-single digit percentages if the housing market recovers. The markets most influential stock, Nvidia, slipped 0.3% after President Donald Trump allowed it to sell an advanced chip used in artificial-intelligence technology to approved customers in China. The H200 is not Nvidias top product. All told, the S&P 500 fell 6.00 points to 6,840.51. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 179.03 to 47,650.29, and the Nasdaq composite rose 30.58 to 23,576.49.In stock markets abroad, indexes were mixed Europe and Asia.Indexes fell 1.3% in Hong Kong and 0.7% in Paris for two of the worlds bigger moves. ___AP Business Writers Matt Ott and Elaine Kurtenbach contributed.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced the rollout of GenAI.mil today in a video posted to X. To hear Hegseth tell it, the website is the future of American warfare. In practice, based on what we know so far from press releases and Hegseths posturing, GenAI.mil appears to be a custom chatbot interface for Google Gemini that can handle some forms of sensitivebut not classifieddata.Hegseths announcement was full of bold pronouncements about the future of killing people. These kinds of pronouncements are typical of the second Trump administration which has said it believes the rush to win AI is an existential threat on par with the invention of nuclear weapons during World War II.Hegseth, however, did not talk about weapons in his announcement. He talked about spreadsheets and videos. At the click of a button, AI models on GenAI can be used to conduct deep research, format documents, and even analyze video or imagery at unprecedented speed, Hegseth said in the video on X. Office work, basically. We will continue to aggressively field the worlds best technology to make our fighting force more lethal than ever before.Emil Michael, the Pentagons under secretary for research and engineering, also stressed how important GenAI would be to the process of killing people in a press release about the sites launch.There is no prize for second place in the global race for AI dominance. We are moving rapidly to deploy powerful AI capabilities like Gemini for Government directly to our workforce. AI is America's next Manifest Destiny, and we're ensuring that we dominate this new frontier, Michael said in the press release, referencing the 19th century American belief that God had divinely ordained Americans to settle the west at the same time he announced a new chatbot.The press release says Google Cloud's Gemini for Government will be the first instance available on the internal platform. Its certified for Controlled Unclassified Information, the release states, and claims that because its web grounded with Google Searchmeaning itll pull from Google search results to answer queriesthat makes it reliable and dramatically reduces the risk of AI hallucinations. As weve covered, because Google search results are also consuming AI content that contains errors and AI-invented data from across the web, its become nearly unusable for regular consumers and researchers alike.During a press conference about the rollout this morning, Michael told reporters that GenAI.mil would soon incorporate other AI models and would one day be able to handle classified as well as sensitive data. As of this writing, GenAIs website is down.For the first time ever, by the end of this week, three million employees, warfighters, contractors, are going to have AI on their desktop, every single one, Michael told reporters this morning, according to Breaking Defense. Theyll start with three million people, start innovating, using building, asking more about what they can do, then bring those to the higher classification level, bringing in different capabilities, he said.The second Trump administration has done everything in its power to make it easier for the people in Silicon Valley to push AI on America and the world. It has done this, in part, by framing it as a national security issue. Trump has signed several executive orders aimed at cutting regulations around data centers and the construction of nuclear power plants. Hes threatened to sign another that would block states from passing their own AI regulations. Each executive order and piece of proposed legislation threatens that losing the AI race would mean making America weak and vulnerable and erode national security.The countrys tech moguls are rushing to build datacenters and nuclear power plants while the boom time continues. Nevermind that people do not want to live next to datacenters for a whole host of reasons. Nevermind that tech companies are using faulty AIs to speed up the construction of nuclear power plants. Nevermind that the Pentagon already had a proprietary LLM it had operated since 2024.We are pushing all of our chips in on artificial intelligence as a fighting force. The Department is tapping into America's commercial genius, and we're embedding generative AI into our daily battle rhythm, Hegseth said in the press release about GenAI.mil. "AI tools present boundless opportunities to increase efficiency, and we are thrilled to witness AI's future positive impact across the War Department."

This combination of images shows candidates for mayor of Miami, from left, Republican Emilio Gonzalez and Democrat Eileen Higgins. (AP Photo/File)2025-12-09T05:05:43Z MIAMI (AP) Democrat Eileen Higgins won the Miami mayors race on Tuesday, defeating a Republican endorsed by President Donald Trump to end her partys nearly three-decade losing streak and give Democrats a boost in one of the last electoral battles ahead of the 2026 midterms.Tonight, the people of Miami made history, Higgins said in a statement after the results were announced. Higgins, 61, campaigned as a Democrat despite the race being officially nonpartisan. She spoke frequently in the Hispanic-majority city about Trumps immigration crackdown, saying she has heard of many people in Miami who were worried about family members being detained. She beat Trump-backed candidate Emilio Gonzalez, a former city manager, who said he called Higgins to congratulate her.Ive never been prouder to be a Democrat, Higgins told The Associated Press before her victory. Were living in the state of Florida, where we have people that are building cages for our residents rather than affordable housing for them. The local race is not predictive of what may happen at the polls next year. But it drew attention from the two major national political parties and their leaders. The victory provides Democrats with some momentum heading into a high-stakes midterm election when the GOP is looking to keep its grip in Florida, including in a Hispanic-majority district in Miami-Dade County. The area has shifted increasingly rightward politically in recent years, and the city may become the home of Trumps presidential library. Some nationally recognized Democrats supported Higgins, including former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. U.S. Sen. Ruben Gallego and former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel traveled to Miami on Sunday and Monday to rally voters for the Democrat who served as a Miami-Dade county commissioner for seven years. Higgins, who speaks Spanish, represented a district that leans conservative and includes the Cuban neighborhood of Little Havana. When she first entered politics in 2018, she chose to present herself to voters as La Gringa, a term Spanish speakers use for white Americans, because many people did not known how to pronounce her name. It just helps people understand who I am, and you know what? I am a gringa, so, what am I going to do, deny it? she told the AP. Republicans anxiety growsRepublicans in Florida have found strong support from voters with heritage from Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua, because they likened some members of the Democratic partys progressive wing with politicians from the governments they fled. Trump and other GOP members have tapped into those sentiments over the past eight years.However, some local Republicans are growing increasingly frustrated since Novembers elections when Democrats scored wins in New Jersey and Virginia, where both winning gubernatorial candidates performed strongly with nonwhite voters. The results from those races were perceived as a reflection of concerns over rising prices and the Trump administrations aggressive immigration policies. U.S. Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, a Republican whose district is being targeted by Democrats and includes the city of Miami, called the elections elsewhere a wake-up call. She said Hispanics also want a secure border and a healthy economy but some relief for those who have been here for years and do not have a criminal record.The Hispanic vote is not guaranteed, Salazar said in a video posted on X. Hispanics married President Trump, but they are only dating the GOP.Miami mayor-elect gains national platformHiggins will also be the first woman to lead the city of Miami, a position that is more ceremonial, but which she promised to execute like a full-time job.The city is part of Miami-Dade County, which Trump flipped last year, a dramatic improvement from his 30 percentage point loss to Democrat Hillary Clinton in 2016.As Floridas second-largest city, Miami is considered the gateway to Latin America and attracts millions of tourists. Its global prominence gives Higgins a significant stage as mayor.Her pitch to voters included finding city-owned land that could be turned into affordable housing and cutting unnecessary spending.

This image taken from video released by Pennsylvania State Police shows Luigi Mangione, a suspect in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pa., on Dec. 9, 2024. (Pennsylvania State Police via AP)2025-12-09T23:29:49Z NEW YORK (AP) Pluck eyebrows. Buy less conspicuous shoes. Take a bus or a train west toward Cincinnati and St. Louis. Move around late at night. Stay away from surveillance cameras.A to-do list and travel plans found during Luigi Mangiones arrest and revealed in court this week shed new light on the steps he may have taken or planned to take to avoid capture after UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompsons killing last year.Keep momentum, FBI slower overnight, said one note. Change hat, shoes, pluck eyebrows, said another.The notes, including a hand-drawn map and tactics for surviving on the lam, were shown on Monday at a pretrial hearing as Mangiones bid to prevent prosecutors from using evidence seized during his Dec. 9, 2024, arrest at a McDonalds in Altoona, Pennsylvania.Excerpts of body-worn camera footage of the arrest, previously unseen by the press or the public, were released on Tuesday. Police said they discovered the notes in Mangiones backpack, along with a 9 mm handgun that prosecutors said matches the one used to kill Thompson five days earlier; a loaded gun magazine and silencer; and a notebook in similar handwriting which he purportedly described his intent to wack a health insurance executive. Mangiones lawyers havent disputed the authenticity of the notes or the provenance of the gun, pocket knife, fake ID, drivers license, passport, credit cards, AirPods, protein bar, travel toothpaste, flash drives and other items seized from him and his backpack. Stay up to date with the news and the best of AP by following our WhatsApp channel. Follow on But they argue that anything found in the bag should be barred because police didnt have a search warrant and lacked the grounds to justify a warrantless search. Prosecutors contend the search was legal officers said they were checking for a bomb and that police eventually obtained a warrant. The notes, along with other evidence highlighted at the pretrial hearing, underscore that Mangiones stop in Altoona, a city of about 44,000 people about 230 miles (370 kilometers) west of Manhattan, was only meant to be temporary. One note said to check for red eyes from Pittsburgh to Columbus, Ohio or part way to Cincinnati (get off early, it reads). The map drawn below shows lines linking those cities, as well as other possible destinations, including Detroit, Indianapolis and St. Louis.Thompson, 50, was killed as he walked to a Manhattan hotel for his companys investor conference on Dec. 4, 2024. Surveillance video showed a masked gunman shooting him from behind and then fleeing the area. Over the next hours and days, police released photos of a suspect first showing him in a mask and hooded coat and then his face and thick eyebrows.Mangione, 27, has pleaded not guilty to state and federal murder charges. The pretrial hearing, which resumes for a sixth day on Thursday, applies only to the state case. His lawyers are making a similar push to exclude the evidence from his federal case, where prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.Among the notes revealed this week was one with a heading 12/5 and a starred entry that said: buy black shoes (white stripes too distinctive). Another, also written in to-do list style, suggested spending more than three hours away from surveillance cameras and using different modes of transportation to Break CAM continuity and avoid tracking. Below that, it said: check reports for current situation, a possible reference to news reports about the search for Thompsons killer.According to prosecutors, Mangione fled to Newark, New Jersey, immediately after the shooting and took a train to Philadelphia. Among the evidence shown at the pretrial hearing was a Philadelphia transit pass purchased at 1:06 p.m. a little more than six hours after the shooting and a ticket for a Greyhound bus, booked under the name Sam Dawson, leaving Philadelphia at 6:30 p.m. and arriving in Pittsburgh at 11:55 p.m.A note with the heading 12/8 lists a number of tasks, including an apparent trip to Best Buy to purchase a digital camera and accessories, hot meal + water bottles, and trash bag(s). Under 12/9, the day of Mangiones arrest, the note lists tasks including Sheetz, an Altoona-based convenience store chain, masks and AAA bats. Under Future TO DO, it listed intel checkin and survival kit. Mangione had a Sheetz hoagie in his backpack when he was arrested, along with a loaf of Italian bread from a local deli, according to police officers testifying Monday and Tuesday. It had been raining, and the bag and items inside it were wet, the officers said. They were heard on body-worn camera footage played in court theorizing that Mangione had gotten soaked walking from the citys bus station.Police responded to the McDonalds after a manager called 911 to relay concerns from customers who thought that Mangione, eating breakfast in a back corner, resembled the man wanted for killing Thompson. On the call, played in court, the manager could be heard saying that because Mangione was wearing a medical mask, she could only see his eyebrows and that she searched online for a photo of the suspect for comparison. Altoona Police Officer Stephen Fox testified on Tuesday that Mangione, the Ivy League-educated scion of a wealthy Maryland family, expressed concern for the 911 callers wellbeing. Fox said Mangione asked if police had planned on releasing her name, which they didnt. The officer recalled him saying: It would be bad for her and there would be a lot of people that would be upset.At another point, Fox said, a shackled Mangione stumbled while trying to keep up with the brisk-moving officer. Fox said he apologized and said, I forgot you were shackled.He said Mangione responded: Its OK, Im going to have to get used to it. MICHAEL R.

Hugo Winwood-Smith, right, Hardy Macpherson and Edan Abou, left, all 11-years-old, use their phones while sitting outside a school in Sydney, Monday, Dec. 8, 2025. (AP Photo/Rick Rycroft)2025-12-09T10:39:47Z MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) Riley Allen, a 15-year-old schoolboy living on an Outback sheep ranch, doesnt know how hell keep in touch with his circle of far-flung friends once Australias world-first social media ban takes effect on Wednesday.Rileys family lives 5 kilometers (3 miles) from Wudinna, a community of just over 1,000 in South Australia state. But some of his school friends live as far as 70 kilometers (43 miles) away.I dont think the impact will be very positive for us. We dont have a lot out here to get in contact with each other, Riley said.Im not sure how were going to keep in touch over the holidays with each other, he said, referring to the Southern Hemisphere summer break that starts on Thursday.Riley and others younger than 16 will be banned by law from holding accounts with Facebook, Instagram, Kick, Reddit, Snapchat, Threads, TikTok, X, YouTube and Twitch from Wednesday. The platforms face fines of up to 49.5 million Australian dollars ($32.9 million) if they fail to take reasonable steps to remove the accounts. Meta, which owns Facebook, Instagram and Threads, was the first tech giant to react, beginning to exclude suspected young children from last week.Riley holds accounts with most of the age-restricted platforms and had been asked by some to verify that he is at least 16. But by Monday, he had not been ousted by any. Mom wont help 15-year-old son bypass social media banRileys schoolteacher mother, Sonia Allen, said she wouldnt help her son get around the ban, but suspects other parents will.I wouldnt. I do know there are other people that would. If the rule is there, the rule is there. But I know what kids are like, and Ive been a kid before, and theyre going to get around it if they can, she said.While the law allows parents no discretion to allow their children to hold social media accounts, Allen said there was a role for parents in regulating their childrens social media use. A year ago, she banned Riley from social media for several weeks.In the past with Riley, weve had to take measures to limit his usage because we found him on social media at midnight and he wasnt getting his homework done and things like that. We ended up taking it off him for a couple of months, Allen said. From that, hes learned to use it a more responsibly. Riley, who turns 16 in April, said he understood the bans objectives, but there are other ways to achieve them. He suggested a 10 p.m. enforced social media curfew for young children to prevent them losing sleep.Teens challenge the ban in Australias highest court Riley has an ally in Australias largest city, Sydney: schoolboy Noah Jones, who turns 16 in August.Noah is one of two 15-year-old plaintiffs in a constitutional challenge to the law in the High Court. The other in the case brought by the Sydney-based rights group Digital Freedom Project is schoolgirl Macy Neyland.They claim the law improperly robs 2.6 million young Australians of a right to freedom of political communication implied in Australias constitution.The Australian government is committed to defeating the challenge on behalf of what they say is an overwhelming majority of parents who demand government action against social media harms. Many restricted children have told media they welcome their exclusion from platforms with design features that encourage them to spend more time on screens while also serving up content that can harm their health and well-being.The parents group Heaps Up Alliance, which lobbied for the social media age restriction, backs the theory behind the blanket ban that when everybody misses out, nobody misses out.Before Parliament passed the ban last year, more than 140 Australian and international academics with expertise in fields related to technology and child welfare signed an open letter to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese opposing a social media age limit as too blunt an instrument to address risks effectively.Noah said the ban would lead to young Australians swapping from age-restricted platforms to more dangerous, less regulated options.Im against this social media ban because as young Australians, well be completely silenced and cut off from our country and the rest of the world, Noah said. Weve just grown up with this our entire lives, and now its just being taken away from us all of a sudden. We wouldnt even know what else we could do. His mother, Renee Jones, is also involved in the court case as her sons litigation guardian, because as a child he cant make legal decisions himself.She considers herself a relatively strict parent on social media, and never allowed Noah or his two older brothers to take devices into their bedrooms. But she supports Noahs stance.My parents would never have dreamed that my children could be so fortunate to have this library of knowledge, Jones said.But I really credit Noah as a young person who recognizes the dangers of social media. Its not all sunshine and lollypops, she added. A plaintiff says tech giants money would be welcome Digital Freedom Project president John Ruddick, who is also a state lawmaker for the minor Libertarian Party, said he had initially intended to apply for a court injunction in a bid to prevent the ban taking effect on Wednesday. But his lawyers advised against it.A directions hearing will be held in late February to set a hearing date for the constitutional challenge that will be heard by the full bench of seven judges.Ruddick said the case wasnt funded by any tech giant, but they would be extremely welcome to make a financial contribution.Ruddick expected children would get around the ban by means including using virtual private networks to make them appear to be offshore.Theyre going to get around it so theyre then going to be on an underground social media and, to make it worse, without parental supervision, Ruddick said. Its much better for it to be out in the open and for parents to play a very, very active role in monitoring what theyre doing on social media, he added.
