(AP Photo/Jehad Alshrafi)2025-04-01T14:45:02Z DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) The U.N. food agency is closing all of its bakeries in the Gaza Strip, officials said Tuesday, as food supplies dwindle after Israel sealed the territory off from all imports nearly a month ago.Israel, which tightened its blockade and later resumed its offensive in order to pressure Hamas into accepting changes to their ceasefire agreement, said that enough food entered Gaza during the six-week truce to sustain the territorys roughly 2 million Palestinians.Markets largely emptied weeks ago, and U.N. agencies say the supplies they built up during the truce are running out. Gaza is heavily reliant on international aid, because the war has destroyed almost all of its food production capability.Mohammed al-Kurd, a father of 12, said that his children go to bed without dinner.We tell them to be patient and that we will bring flour in the morning, he said. We lie to them and to ourselves. A World Food Program memo circulated to aid groups on Monday said that it could no longer operate its remaining bakeries, which produce the pita bread on which many rely. The U.N. agency said that it was prioritizing its remaining stocks to provide emergency food aid and expand hot meal distribution. WFP spokespeople didnt immediately respond to requests for comment. Olga Cherevko, a spokesperson for the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, said that the WFP was closing its remaining 19 bakeries after shuttering six others last month. She said that hundreds of thousands of people relied on them. The Israeli military body in charge of Palestinian affairs, known as COGAT, said that more than 25,000 trucks entered Gaza during the ceasefire, carrying nearly 450,000 tons of aid. It said that amount represented around a third of what has entered during the entire war.There is enough food for a long period of time, if Hamas lets the civilians have it, it said. U.N. agencies and aid groups say that they struggled to bring in and distribute aid before the ceasefire took hold in January. Their estimates for how much aid actually reached people in Gaza were consistently lower than COGATs, which were based on how much entered through border crossings.The war began when Hamas-led militants attacked southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking 251 hostages. Hamas is still holding 59 captives 24 of whom are believed to be alive after most of the rest were released in ceasefire agreements or other deals.Israels offensive has killed more than 50,000 Palestinians, including hundreds killed in strikes since the ceasefire ended, according to Gazas Health Ministry, which doesnt say whether those killed in the war are civilians or combatants. Israel says it has killed around 20,000 militants, without providing evidence.Israel sealed off Gaza from all aid at the start of the war, but later relented under pressure from Washington. U.S. President Donald Trumps administration, which took credit for helping to broker the ceasefire, has expressed full support for Israels actions, including its decision to end the truce. Israel has demanded that Hamas release several hostages before commencing talks on ending the war, negotiations that were supposed to have begun in early February. It has also insisted that Hamas disarm and leave Gaza, conditions that werent part of the ceasefire agreement.Hamas has called for implementing the agreement, in which the remaining hostages would be released in exchange for the release of more Palestinian prisoners, a lasting ceasefire and an Israeli pullout.___Mednick reported from Tel Aviv, Israel.

(AP Photo/Kateryna Klochko, File)2025-04-01T11:34:57Z WASHINGTON (AP) While most Americans disapprove of President Donald Trumps handling of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the conflict is not weighing as heavily on his public perception as it did on President Joe Biden, a new poll shows. Thats because of Trumps solid support from his base on this issue. The survey of U.S. adults from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that about 8 in 10 Republicans approve of Trumps handling of the conflict. Only about 4 in 10 Democrats approved of Bidens handling of the conflict last June, shortly before Biden dropped out of the presidential race.During Trumps first administration, we did not actively start any wars. And theres a stark difference between his history and his first term versus the Biden presidency. And I think Trump is just trying to fix things that Biden let get out of hand, said Patrick Vigil, a 60-year-old Republican from New Mexico who voted for Trump in Novembers election. The poll suggests Republicans are growing more satisfied with the countrys foreign policy actions as Trump pulls back U.S. support for Ukraine and puts new pressure on allies notably with his talk of annexing Canada, Greenland and the Panama Canal. Trump has warned Hamas that there would be hell to pay if Israeli hostages werent returned immediately and urged Israel to wrap up their offensive and get it over with. He has supported ceasefire talks in both conflicts and said hed end the war between Ukraine and Russia within 24 hours or even before taking office. Since becoming president again, Trump has publicly torn into Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy but also tried to pressure Russias Vladimir Putin to accept a peace deal. Broadly, Republicans are more content with the U.S. on solving global issues now that President Trump is in office. About half of Republicans say the U.S.s current role in world affairs is about right, up from about 2 in 10 last February when Biden was president. Theres a greater consensus that the U.S. should be focused on ceasefire negotiations in Israel and Ukraine than there was last year too. About 6 in 10 U.S. adults say its extremely or very important for the U.S. to negotiate a permanent ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, up from about half in an AP-NORC poll conducted in February 2024, with a similar uptick on the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians.Republicans have grown more committed to both foreign policy goals since Trump took office, according to the poll. For instance, about 6 in 10 Republicans now think its highly important for the U.S. to negotiate a permanent ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, up from about 4 in 10 last year.I think we really need to step back and figure out a way just to bring everybody to the table so that they can use their own resources and figure out what they need to do to compromise, said Lisa Major, 61, a registered Republican from Kentucky who voted for Trump in November.Keith Willey, a Republican-leaning registered independent from Florida who voted for a third-party candidate for president, said peace deals in Ukraine and Gaza have become more important to him over time amid mounting death and destruction. But Willey said he doesnt support a deal that allows Hamas to stay in control in Gaza and he doesnt support a ceasefire in Ukraine that divides it up with Russia or hinges on the U.S. taking control of Ukraines rare earth minerals.He still supports strong American intervention on Ukraines behalf against Russia, supports strong U.S. backing of Israel and doesnt like Trumps friendly relationship with Russia or Russian President Vladimir Putin.Im not tired of giving weapons to Ukraine. I think we should support where we can to have them fight for their own country. But, generally speaking, I would like to see a ceasefire, Willey, 63, said.Many Republicans dont want more investment in Ukraine, though only about 2 in 10 think providing aid to Ukraines military to fight Russia is extremely or very important and not all of Trumps voters are satisfied with Trumps ceasefire efforts. Michael Johnson, a 36-year-old registered independent from North Carolina who voted for Trump, isnt happy with Trumps handling of Israels war in Gaza or the Russian invasion of Ukraine.Johnson said Trump had held himself out as a president who could bring the wars to an end quickly but hasnt.I dont think he went through with what he said he would do, Johnson said. He said he would stop it, but its still going on. Theres a lot of people losing their lives out there, young kids and stuff.And many Republicans want Trump to continue shrinking American involvement abroad. About 4 in 10 Republicans now say the U.S. should take a less active role in world affairs. That includes Major, who supports Trump, likes how hes handling foreign conflicts and sees him trying to reduce the role the U.S. plays in the world, as she wants him to do.For one, it takes our attention off of the citizens of America, but also it may be sending a really negative message where we keep involving ourselves in other peoples issues when we cant figure out our own issues, Major said.___Levy reported from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. ___The AP-NORC poll of 1,229 adults was conducted March 20-24, using a sample drawn from NORCs probability-based AmeriSpeak Panel, which is designed to be representative of the U.S. population.

Luigi Mangione, acusado de matar al director general de UnitedHealthcare, Brian Thompson, durante una audiencia en un tribunal de Nueva York, el 21 de febrero de 2025. (Steven Hirsch/New York Post va AP, Pool, Archivo)2025-04-01T15:20:05Z NEW YORK (AP) U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Tuesday she has directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty against Luigi Mangione, the man accused of gunning down UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson outside a New York City hotel on Dec. 4.Mangione, 26, faces separate federal and state murder charges for the killing, which rattled the business community while also galvanizing health insurance critics. The federal charges include murder through use of a firearm, which carries the possibility of the death penalty. The state charges carry a maximum punishment of life in prison.Prosecutors have said the two cases will proceed on parallel tracks, with the state charges expected to go to trial first. It wasnt immediately clear if Bondis death penalty announcement will change the order of how the cases are tried.Luigi Mangiones murder of Brian Thompson an innocent man and father of two young children was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America, Bondi said in a statement. After careful consideration, I have directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in this case as we carry out President Trumps agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again. A message seeking comment was left for a spokesperson for Mangiones lawyers. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to a state indictment and has not entered a plea to the federal charges. President Donald Trump, who oversaw an unprecedented run of executions at the end of his first term, signed an executive order on his first day back in office on Jan. 20 that compels the Justice Department to seek the death penalty in federal cases where applicable.His predecessor, Joe Biden, had issued a moratorium on federal executions.Thompson, 50, was ambushed and shot on a sidewalk as he walked to an investor conference at a hotel in midtown Manhattan. Mangione was arrested Dec. 9 while eating breakfast at a McDonalds in Altoona, Pennsylvania.Police said he was carrying a gun that matched the one used in the shooting and a fake ID. He also was carrying a notebook expressing hostility toward the health insurance industry and especially wealthy executives, authorities said. UnitedHealthcare is the largest health insurer in the U.S., though the company said Mangione was never a client.Among the entries in the notebook, prosecutors said, was one from August 2024 that said the target is insurance because it checks every box and one from October that describes an intent to wack an insurance company CEO.

Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel, center, speaks with supporters as former Gov. Scott Walker, left, watches on Monday, March 31, 2025, in Madison, Wis. (AP Photo/Scott Bauer)2025-04-01T04:02:28Z WASHINGTON (AP) Elections in Florida and Wisconsin have become key tests of President Donald Trumps political standing two months into his second White House term. The marquee race Tuesday is for a swing seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, a technically nonpartisan election that has drawn at least $90 million in spending. Trump and billionaire adviser Elon Musk are backing conservative judge Brad Schimel while progressive billionaires and Democrats support liberal Susan Crawford. Two Republican-friendly Florida congressional seats could give the GOP some breathing room in the narrowly divided chamber. But Democrats in both districts have far outraised their GOP counterparts, and national Republicans have been publicly concerned in particular about the race to replace Mike Waltz, now Trumps national security adviser. Here are the places to watch as the vote results are reported on election night: Wisconsin: How big will Democrats win in Milwaukee and Madison?In any statewide election in Wisconsin, Democrats tend to win by large margins in the populous counties of Milwaukee and Dane (home of Madison). But the size of that win is usually a big factor in who wins statewide, especially in a close contest. In 2024, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris carried Milwaukee with 68% of the vote and Dane with 75% while narrowly losing statewide. That same night, Democratic U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin ran about 2 percentage points ahead of Harris in both counties and narrowly won reelection. In 2023, the Democratic Party-backed Supreme Court candidate Janet Protasiewicz received 73% of the vote in Milwaukee and 82% of the vote in Dane and went on to win statewide by an 11-percentage-point margin. Wisconsin: How big will Republicans win in the WOW counties?Republicans tend to do well in the suburban Milwaukee counties of Washington, Ozaukee and Waukesha the so-called WOW counties. A strong Republican showing in these counties can help counter the Democratic advantage in urban areas. Republican candidates have carried all three counties in every major statewide election going back to at least 2016. Wisconsin: Whos ahead in Green Bay?Republican candidates tend to win Brown County, which is home to Green Bay, but not by huge blowouts. Trump carried the county in all three of his presidential campaigns with between 52% and 53% of the vote. But since the 2016 election, there have been two Democrats who carried Brown County and went on to win statewide: Tony Evers in his bid for governor in 2018 and more recently Protasiewicz in her 2023 state Supreme Court race. A Democrat can still win statewide without winning Brown (such as Democrat Joe Biden in 2020, Evers reelection in 2022 and all three of Baldwins U.S. Senate runs). But if they do carry Brown, its probably going to be a rough night for Republicans. Wisconsin: Whats the situation in Sauk?Sauk County, northwest of Madison, is a competitive area in statewide elections that usually ends up supporting the Democratic candidate, albeit by slim margins. It falls somewhere in the middle of Wisconsins 72 counties in terms of population, and the margins are usually so small that statewide elections arent typically won or lost in Sauk. Democrats or Democratic-backed candidates had a long winning streak in Sauk, having carried the county in eight of the last 10 major statewide elections. But the two exceptions are notable: Trump carried Sauk in 2016 and 2024, when he won Wisconsin and the White House. While Sauk wont likely place a decisive role in Tuesdays elections, a victory there by a Republican-backed candidate may be a good sign for the party statewide.Florida: Voting history favors RepublicansDemocrats are encouraged by the strong fundraising performances of their nominees to replace Waltz and former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, but the special elections take place in two congressional districts that have long been safe Republican territory.Trump received about 68% of the vote in 2024 in the Florida Panhandles 1st Congressional District, slightly outperforming the 66% Gaetz received in his reelection bid. In the 6th Congressional District on the Atlantic coast, Trump received roughly 65% of the vote, just behind the 67% Waltz received in his final House reelection bid. The four counties that make up the 1st District have voted for Republican presidential candidates almost continually for the past 60 years. Only Walton County went for a Democrat on one occasion since 1960, although all four voted for Democrat-turned-independent candidate George Wallace in 1968. Today, the part of Walton County that falls within the 1st District is the most reliably Republican of the four counties. Republican presidential candidates have carried all six counties in the 6th District for the last four presidential elections. The Republican winning streak in some of the counties stretches back for decades before that. Lake County, for instance, hasnt supported a Democrat for president since Franklin Roosevelt in 1944. Trump and Waltz performed best in Putnam County, where they both received about 74% of the vote. Florida: Where to look for signs of a possible Democratic upsetIf Democrats manage to pull off upsets in either the 1st or 6th districts, the first indications may be in their best performing counties. Given the Republican advantage in both districts, the Democrats best areas are still places where Republicans performed well. In the 1st District, Trump and Gaetz did comparatively the worst in Escambia County, although they still received 59% and 57% of the county vote, respectively.In the 6th District, Democrats may do best in Volusia County, where Trump received 58% and Waltz received about 60%. Republican presidential candidates have carried Volusia in the last four elections, but the area used to be more friendly territory for Democrats, who won the county for six consecutive elections from 1992 through 2008.

Sapphics know how to write and sing about sex!Baby, she's a giver!Chappell Roan's newest hit song, "The Giver," is heating up the Billboard Hot 100. It debuted at number five and earned Roan her first number-one song on the Hot Country Songs chart!It's not the first song explicitly about lesbian sex to hit the top 10, and it won't be the last. With artists like Janelle Mone, Victoria Mont, Kehlani, Rene Rapp, and Billie Eilish openly singing about lesbian relationships and sex, these songs are more popular now than ever. Through their powerful vocals and colorful lyrics, these sapphics have always been the best at describing sex. Whether through metaphor and analogy or straight-up describing the physical act of girl-on-girl sex, these artists have celebrated sapphic sexuality for decades.Sign up for the PRIDE.com Newsletter to get a candid take on whats fresh and fun in LGBTQ+ culture this week!"The Giver" - Chappell RoanDon't forget, Chappell Roan's previous hit "Casual" had a famous line about being "Knee-deep in the passenger seat and you're eating me out. In "Red Wine Supernova," she sings about having a "wand and a rabbit / So baby, let's get freaky, get kinky / Let's make this bed get squeaky." With her new hit, "The Giver," Roan sings about the virtues of being a service top and getting the "job done" when she sleeps with a girl."And other boys may need a map / But I can close my eyes and have you wrapped around my fingers like that," she sings before asking her partner to "take it like a taker.""Lunch" - Billie EilishOn her first album after coming out, Eilish went full force in this song, declaring that she "could eat that girl for lunch / Yeah, she dances on my tongue" and saying that she wants to "get her off." It's pretty clear what Eilish is singing about, and that didn't stop the song from hitting number 5 on the Billboard chart when it was released last year."PYNK" - Janelle Mone ft. GrimesWith lyrics like "Pynk like the tongue that goes down, maybe / Pynk like the paradise found / Pynk when you're blushing inside, baby," and "Pynk like the lips around your, maybe / Pynk like the skin that's under, baby / Pynk where its deepest inside, crazy / Pynk beyond forest and thighs," this Janelle Mone classic makes our own cheeks turn pink from blushing!This is far from Mone's only song about lesbian sex (check out "Lipstick Lover," "Paid in Pleasure," and more).Check out their Out100 cover story here!"girls just wanna have sex" - mazieMazie left nothing up to our imaginations with this kickass song from 2023. In addition to the hook of "Girls just wanna have sex," the second verse starts "Oh, f*ck, she's eating me out / I'm trying not to scream on her parents' couch" and continues with "her hands are on my neck, she's got a grip / She can turn me on just like a switch."Check out our interview with mazie."Slumber Party" - Ashnikko ft. Princess NokiaAshnikko is never one to be shy, and she bares it all on this sexy song with Princess Nokia. With lyrics like "Me and your girlfriend playing dress up in my house / I gave your girlfriend cunnilingus on my couch," "My girl look like Wednesday Addams / Eyes go black when she orgasms" and "She do that thing she usually do / Spell my name with her tongue, like uh-huh," we know exactly what kind of slumber party this is, and no ones getting any sleep."Head Bitch" - Chrissy ChlapeckaChrissy Chlapecka loves to go full bimbo, celebrating her own sexuality with fun and attitude, and in this song, she declares herself "Head Bitch," singing "I'm gonna make her drip / I've been fantasizing 'bout between her thighs / And I've got her on my lips / Give her head / Head bitch."Check out our interview with Chrissy Chlapecka."Touch Me" Victoria Montft. KehlaniVictoria Mont and Kehlani slow things down on this sensual song that goes from 0 to 60 in no time flat. The very first lyrics of the first verse are "Went from hand on the wheel to hands on my thigh / To hands on my body in the back of the Porsche / I'm in love with your fingertips."One of the sexiest lines has to be the song's ode to the lesbian manicure, where she sings, "And when you rock them short nails, that's lowkey sentimental / Now keep 'em cut though so there ain't no incidentals." When the chorus comes around with "touch me, feel me/ Get to know me inside," we're already totally in the mood."1st Position" - KehlaniKehlani is undoubtedly one of the sexiest singers ever, and they lay it all out on "1st Position.""Let me show you what it's like to f*ck with something right / Girl, let me put you one with something real / Wanna show you how it feels to rock with something trill / So come join me in this room, girl, this time / I know what you like, baby, let me get you right," she sings. And girls everywhere swoon."Body" - SydSyd is another artist who knows her way around a sexy song. In "Body," she takes control, singing about body language. "Baby, we can take it slow, say my name / Don't let go, I can hear your body when I / Pull your hair, what's my name," she sings, before adding "the bed is your stage / Take it away.""Dirty Girl" Siena Liggins with Baby TateSiena Liggins brings in the cartoon references to this sex song about being a "Dirty Girl", singing "You might wanna call me daddy but I'm not your father / Ass Krabby Patties, eat it underwater" and "You like how my persona make you wet like Moana," before going into a chorus of "Dirty girl, talk dirty to me, talk dirty to me / Tell me all the things you wanna do."Check out our interview with Baby Tate."Bestie" - Sizzy RocketIn "Bestie," Sizzie Rocket tells the tale as old as time of one girl falling in love with her best friend. What starts as a flirtation and deep connection soon moves to, "Oh my god she's looking fantastic / Cause tonight she keeps on shaking that ass / And I keep picturing her when she orgasms," because she has to admit, "I wanna f*ck, f*ck, f*ck my best friend.""Drain Me!" - Towa BirdWhen it comes to rock, Towa Bird knows how to write a great sex song. In "Drain Me!" she uses metaphors like "Drip drop in the dark / Butterfly, baby / Waterfall, super soak" and explicitly tells us where she's having sex. "Back of my car, in the shower / Take it too far, take what you want / You want, you want, you want / Drain me," she sings."Pussy Is God" - King PrincessIt's hard to get more explicit than saying "Your p*ssy is god," like King Princess does in this song. "You know that it's God baby when you're around her," she sings, "I've been praying for hours." It takes getting down on your knees for a girl to a new level."Rub" - PeachesPeaches leaves nothing to the imagination in "Rub." "Tell on my p*ssy / Whistle blow my clit," she sings, before adding in "Watch it open up cuz it can't keep a secret / Circle jerk girls who spray," as well as the killer bridge "Can't talk right now, this chick's d*ck is in my mouth," and the chorus of "Come with me.""bitches" - Tove Lo"Let me be your guide when you eat my p*ssy out," Tove Lo sings on this song celebrating quick hookups with girls. "Bitches, I don't trust 'em / But they give me what I want for the night / Bitches, I don't trust 'em / But I tell 'em and they do what I like," she adds. After bragging that girls "can't fake it" with her and even are "Drying off the seat when they getting up to leave," she tells them, "So, baby, spread your legs, I'll do the same, already coming.""I F*cked Yr Mom" - Sorry MomIf you're looking for a great story song about lesbian sex, look no further than "I F*cked Yr Mom" by New York-based queer punk band Sorry Mom. The band begins talking about encountering moms at PTA meetings and adult swims at the pool, but ends up saying, "I took your mom home / And I bend her over my desk / And I f*cked the sh*t out of your mom / And god, she f*cking loved it.""Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover" - Sophie B. HawkinsSophie B. Hawkins has an all-time classic with the 1992 hit, "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover," in which the omnisexual Hawkins sings, "I'll rock you 'til the daylight comes / Make sure you smiling and warm / I am everything / Tonight I'll be your mother / I'll do such things to ease your pain" and then goes into detail, saying "Open up, I wanna gonna come inside / I wanna fill you up, I wanna make you cry." Lesbians have been getting down to this song for decades."sushi for breakfast" - BAYLILesbians love a little morning sex, and in "sushi for breakfast," BAYLI sings all about the wonderful world of an early excursion in the sheets. She doesn't need love, she just wants "sushi for breakfast." With her swagger, singing lines like, "Turn you on when you see me actin' reckless," we know she gets it."Drive" - Melissa FerrickIn this song from 2000, Melissa Ferrick sings an extended metaphor, saying she can "drive" as long as, anywhere, and any way her partner wants. "Your mouth waters / Stretched out on my bed / Your fingers are trembling / And your heart is heavy and red / And your head is bent back / And your back is arched / My hand is under there / Holding you up," she sings."Persephone" - Allison RussellCanadian Americana superstar and Grammy-winner Allison Russell sings about her love affair with a woman named Persephone in this beautiful song. In the second verse of the song, she gets down to business, singing, "Mouth to mouth, mouth to flower / Salty sweet you give me power / I feel you shake under my lips / Your fingers tender find my secrets" and urges her lover to not make a sound because her parents are "sleeping just above." It's sexy and romantic.Check out our interview with Allison Russell."Nectar" - RaveenaRaveena sings about providing "Mother Earth in my thighs" in this slow jam. "I get so wild, so / Let me show it to you / Mm, I got the nectar / Affection, and truth / Baby, ooh, baby," she sings over a seductive, sultry, and scintillating beat."Drip" - AsiahnIn "Drip," singer Asiahn introduces her partner to the joys of lesbian sex, and though her partner is nervous, she knows it's going well because "Your body speakin' my language / And it's sayin' / Drip, drip, drip, drop." "Imagine us skin-to-skin, eye-to-eye / Bodies wet from the sweat, I'm workin' out with you / Fingertips trembling into places wonderful (Oh)/ Whisperin' 'how does it feel?' and 'Do you like?'" she sings. Things only get hotter from there."Freak" - Jada Michael"When it comes to you and me / Girl, you know that I'm the one who gives you what you need," Jada Michael brags in this song about being a lady in the streets but a freak in the sheets. "Baby, when I tell you play my favorite song / Put your body on me / I know that really turns you on / Please don't tell nobody / About that thing I like to do / When you know that I've missed you / I don't care who's got a view / I hold nothing back from you.""Handle Me" - MUNAMUNA brings some softness to songs about sapphic sex with this gentle song about not being so gentle in bed.

(AP Photo/Yuki Iwamura, File)2025-04-01T05:07:37Z NEW YORK (AP) U.S. stocks are swerving through another shaky day of trading Tuesday, with uncertainty still high about just what President Donald Trump will announce about tariffs on his Liberation Day coming Wednesday.The S&P 500 was up by 0.6% in midday trading after storming back from an early drop of 1%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 135 points, or 0.3%, as of 12:18 p.m. Eastern time, after eliminating a morning loss of 480 points. The Nasdaq composite was 1.1% higher. Wall Street has been particularly shaky recently, and momentum has been swinging not just day to day but also hour to hour because of uncertainty about what Trump will do with tariffs and by how much they will worsen inflation and grind down growth for economies. On Monday, for example, the S&P 500 careened from an early loss of 1.7% to a gain of 0.6%. Tesla helped drive Tuesdays rise after climbing 6.9%. That, though, clawed back just a small portion of the electric-vehicle makers steep losses this year, and its still down by nearly a third for 2025 so far.Elon Musks company is expected to report on Wednesday how many vehicles it delivered during the first three months of the year, and worries have grown about a potential backlash from customers. Protestors have been swarming Tesla showrooms due to anger about Musks leading the U.S. governments efforts to cut spending. PVH jumped 17.6% after the company behind the Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger brands reported a stronger profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected. It also said it plans to send $500 million to shareholders this year through purchases of its own stock. In the bond market, Treasury yields sank immediately after a report said U.S. manufacturing activity contracted last month, breaking a two-month streak of growth. A separate report said U.S. employers were advertising slightly fewer job openings at the end of February than economists expected. Companies are saying theyre already feeling effects from Trumps trade war, even with the main event potentially coming on Wednesday, when the president will announce a sweeping set of tariffs. Customers are pulling in orders due to anxiety about continued tariffs and pricing pressures, one computer and electronic products company told the Institute for Supply Management in its monthly manufacturers survey. Starting to see slower-than-normal sales in Canada, and concerns of Canadians boycotting U.S. products could become a reality, a manufacturer in the food, beverage and tobacco products industry said in the ISMs survey.The economy is still growing, to be sure, and the job market has remained relatively solid even with Februarys slightly weaker-than-expected job openings. But one of the fears hitting the market is that even if Trump announces less-punishing tariffs than feared, the stop-and-start rollout of his trade strategy may by itself cause U.S. households and businesses to freeze their spending, which would damage the economy. Trump has pushed for tariffs in part to bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States from other countries. All the nervousness in the market has helped push the price of gold to records, and it briefly topped $3,175 per ounce before turning slightly lower. Thats up from less than $2,700 at the start of the year.On Wall Street, Johnson & Johnson dropped 5.3% after a U.S. bankruptcy court judge denied the companys settlement plan related to baby powder containing talc. Its the third time the companys attempt to resolve the baby powder settlement through bankruptcy has been rejected by courts.Airline stocks continued their descent on worries that customers feeling nervous about the economy and global trade wont fly as much. Delta Air Lines lost 2.9%, and United Airlines gave up 1.6%. In stock markets abroad, indexes rose across much of Europe and Asia to recover some of their sharp drops from the day before. In Europe, Germanys DAX returned 1.7%, and Frances CAC 40 rose 1.1% after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the worlds biggest trade bloc would not cower in the face of U.S. trade demands. Europe holds a lot of cards, from trade to technology to the size of our market. But this strength is also built on our readiness to take firm counter measures if necessary, von der Leyen said. All instruments are on the table. In Japan, the Nikkei 225 held steady as Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said he was imploring Trump not to impose higher auto tariffs on Japan, a longtime U.S. ally. A central bank survey found a worsening in business sentiment among big manufacturers. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 4.17% from 4.23% late Monday and from roughly 4.80% in January. Thats a significant move for the bond market, and yields have been falling with worries about a potentially slowing U.S. economy.___AP Business Writers Matt Ott and Elaine Kurtenbach contributed. ___ This story has been corrected to show that PVH is buying back $500 million of its own stock, not $500 billion.

(Salvatore Di Nolfi/Keystone via AP)2025-04-01T06:49:23Z GENEVA (AP) Top minds at the worlds largest atom smasher have released a blueprint for a much bigger successor that could vastly improve research into the remaining enigmas of physics.The plans for the Future Circular Collider a nearly 91-kilometer (56.5-mile) loop along the French-Swiss border and below Lake Geneva published late Monday put the finishing details on a project roughly a decade in the making at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research.The FCC would carry out high-precision experiments in the mid-2040s to study known physics in greater detail, then enter a second phase planned for 2070 that would conduct high-energy collisions of protons and heavy ions that would open the door to the unknown, said Giorgio Chiarelli, a research director at Italys National Institute of Nuclear Physics.History of physics tells that when there is more data, the human ingenuity is able to extract more information than originally expected, Chiarelli, who was not involved in the plans, said in an e-mail. For roughly a decade, top minds at CERN have been making plans for a successor to the Large Hadron Collider, a network of magnets that accelerate particles through a 27-kilometer (17-mile) underground tunnel and slam them together at velocities approaching the speed of light. The blueprint lays out the proposed path, environmental impact, scientific ambitions and project cost. Independent experts will take a look before CERNs two dozen member countries all European except for Israel decide in 2028 whether to go forward, starting in the mid-2040s at a cost of some 14 billion Swiss francs (about $16 billion). CERN officials tout the promise of scientific discoveries that could drive innovation in fields like cryogenics, superconducting magnets and vacuum technologies that could benefit humankind.Outside experts point to the promise of learning more about the Higgs boson, the elusive particle that has been controversially dubbed the God particle, which helped explain how matter formed after the Big Bang. Work at the Large Hadron Collider confirmed in 2013 the existence of the Higgs boson, the central piece in a puzzle known as the standard model that helps explains some fundamental forces in the universe.CERN Director-General Fabiola Gianotti said the future collider could become the most extraordinary instrument ever built by humanity to study the constituents and the laws of nature at the most fundamental levels in two ways, by improving study of the Higgs boson and paving the way to explore the energy frontier, and by looking for new physics that explain the structure and evolution of the universe.One unknown is whether the Trump administration, which has been cutting foreign aid and spending in academia and research, will continue to support CERN a year after the Biden administration pledged U.S. support for the study and collaboration on the FCCs construction and physics exploitation if its approved.The United States is home to 2,000 users of CERN, making them the single largest national contingent among the 17,000 people working there, including outside experts abroad and staff on site, Gianotti said. While an observer state and not a member, the U.S. doesnt pay into the CERN regular budget but has contributed to specific projects. Most of the CERN regular budget comes from Europe.Costas Fountas, the CERN Council president, said he had spoken with some U.S. National Science Foundation and Department of Energy staff who relayed the message that so far theyre under the radar of the cuts of the Trump administration. Thats their words.CERN scientists, engineers and partners behind the plans considered at least 100 scenarios for the new collider before coming up with the proposed 91-kilometer circumference at an average depth of 200 meters (656 feet). The tunnel would be about 5 meters (16 feet) in diameter, CERN said. JAMEY KEATEN Keaten is the chief Associated Press reporter in Geneva.

It debuted at number five and earned Roan her first number-one song on the Hot Country Songs chart!It's not the first song explicitly about lesbian sex to hit the top 10, and it won't be the last. With artists like Janelle Mone, Victoria Mont, Kehlani, Rene Rapp, and Billie Eilish openly singing about lesbian relationships and sex, these songs are more popular now than ever. Through their powerful vocals and colorful lyrics, these sapphics have always been the best at describing sex. Whether through metaphor and analogy or straight-up describing the physical act of girl-on-girl sex, these artists have celebrated sapphic sexuality for decades.Sign up for the PRIDE.com Newsletter to get a candid take on whats fresh and fun in LGBTQ+ culture this week!"The Giver" - Chappell RoanDon't forget, Chappell Roan's previous hit "Casual" had a famous line about being "Knee-deep in the passenger seat and you're eating me out. In "Red Wine Supernova," she sings about having a "wand and a rabbit / So baby, let's get freaky, get kinky / Let's make this bed get squeaky." With her new hit, "The Giver," Roan sings about the virtues of being a service top and getting the "job done" when she sleeps with a girl."And other boys may need a map / But I can close my eyes and have you wrapped around my fingers like that," she sings before asking her partner to "take it like a taker.""Lunch" - Billie EilishOn her first album after coming out, Eilish went full force in this song, declaring that she "could eat that girl for lunch / Yeah, she dances on my tongue" and saying that she wants to "get her off." It's pretty clear what Eilish is singing about, and that didn't stop the song from hitting number 5 on the Billboard chart when it was released last year."PYNK" - Janelle Mone ft. GrimesWith lyrics like "Pynk like the tongue that goes down, maybe / Pynk like the paradise found / Pynk when you're blushing inside, baby," and "Pynk like the lips around your, maybe / Pynk like the skin that's under, baby / Pynk where its deepest inside, crazy / Pynk beyond forest and thighs," this Janelle Mone classic makes our own cheeks turn pink from blushing!This is far from Mone's only song about lesbian sex (check out "Lipstick Lover," "Paid in Pleasure," and more).Check out their Out100 cover story here!"girls just wanna have sex" - mazieMazie left nothing up to our imaginations with this kickass song from 2023. In addition to the hook of "Girls just wanna have sex," the second verse starts "Oh, f*ck, she's eating me out / I'm trying not to scream on her parents' couch" and continues with "her hands are on my neck, she's got a grip / She can turn me on just like a switch."Check out our interview with mazie."Slumber Party" - Ashnikko ft. Princess NokiaAshnikko is never one to be shy, and she bares it all on this sexy song with Princess Nokia. With lyrics like "Me and your girlfriend playing dress up in my house / I gave your girlfriend cunnilingus on my couch," "My girl look like Wednesday Addams / Eyes go black when she orgasms" and "She do that thing she usually do / Spell my name with her tongue, like uh-huh," we know exactly what kind of slumber party this is, and no ones getting any sleep."Head Bitch" - Chrissy ChlapeckaChrissy Chlapecka loves to go full bimbo, celebrating her own sexuality with fun and attitude, and in this song, she declares herself "Head Bitch," singing "I'm gonna make her drip / I've been fantasizing 'bout between her thighs / And I've got her on my lips / Give her head / Head bitch."Check out our interview with Chrissy Chlapecka."Touch Me" Victoria Montft. KehlaniVictoria Mont and Kehlani slow things down on this sensual song that goes from 0 to 60 in no time flat. The very first lyrics of the first verse are "Went from hand on the wheel to hands on my thigh / To hands on my body in the back of the Porsche / I'm in love with your fingertips."One of the sexiest lines has to be the song's ode to the lesbian manicure, where she sings, "And when you rock them short nails, that's lowkey sentimental / Now keep 'em cut though so there ain't no incidentals." When the chorus comes around with "touch me, feel me/ Get to know me inside," we're already totally in the mood."1st Position" - KehlaniKehlani is undoubtedly one of the sexiest singers ever, and they lay it all out on "1st Position.""Let me show you what it's like to f*ck with something right / Girl, let me put you one with something real / Wanna show you how it feels to rock with something trill / So come join me in this room, girl, this time / I know what you like, baby, let me get you right," she sings. And girls everywhere swoon."Body" - SydSyd is another artist who knows her way around a sexy song. In "Body," she takes control, singing about body language. "Baby, we can take it slow, say my name / Don't let go, I can hear your body when I / Pull your hair, what's my name," she sings, before adding "the bed is your stage / Take it away.""Dirty Girl" Siena Liggins with Baby TateSiena Liggins brings in the cartoon references to this sex song about being a "Dirty Girl", singing "You might wanna call me daddy but I'm not your father / Ass Krabby Patties, eat it underwater" and "You like how my persona make you wet like Moana," before going into a chorus of "Dirty girl, talk dirty to me, talk dirty to me / Tell me all the things you wanna do."Check out our interview with Baby Tate."Bestie" - Sizzy RocketIn "Bestie," Sizzie Rocket tells the tale as old as time of one girl falling in love with her best friend. What starts as a flirtation and deep connection soon moves to, "Oh my god she's looking fantastic / Cause tonight she keeps on shaking that ass / And I keep picturing her when she orgasms," because she has to admit, "I wanna f*ck, f*ck, f*ck my best friend.""Drain Me!" - Towa BirdWhen it comes to rock, Towa Bird knows how to write a great sex song. In "Drain Me!" she uses metaphors like "Drip drop in the dark / Butterfly, baby / Waterfall, super soak" and explicitly tells us where she's having sex. "Back of my car, in the shower / Take it too far, take what you want / You want, you want, you want / Drain me," she sings."Pussy Is God" - King PrincessIt's hard to get more explicit than saying "Your p*ssy is god," like King Princess does in this song. "You know that it's God baby when you're around her," she sings, "I've been praying for hours." It takes getting down on your knees for a girl to a new level."Rub" - PeachesPeaches leaves nothing to the imagination in "Rub." "Tell on my p*ssy / Whistle blow my clit," she sings, before adding in "Watch it open up cuz it can't keep a secret / Circle jerk girls who spray," as well as the killer bridge "Can't talk right now, this chick's d*ck is in my mouth," and the chorus of "Come with me.""bitches" - Tove Lo"Let me be your guide when you eat my p*ssy out," Tove Lo sings on this song celebrating quick hookups with girls. "Bitches, I don't trust 'em / But they give me what I want for the night / Bitches, I don't trust 'em / But I tell 'em and they do what I like," she adds. After bragging that girls "can't fake it" with her and even are "Drying off the seat when they getting up to leave," she tells them, "So, baby, spread your legs, I'll do the same, already coming.""I F*cked Yr Mom" - Sorry MomIf you're looking for a great story song about lesbian sex, look no further than "I F*cked Yr Mom" by New York-based queer punk band Sorry Mom. The band begins talking about encountering moms at PTA meetings and adult swims at the pool, but ends up saying, "I took your mom home / And I bend her over my desk / And I f*cked the sh*t out of your mom / And god, she f*cking loved it.""Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover" - Sophie B. HawkinsSophie B. Hawkins has an all-time classic with the 1992 hit, "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover," in which the omnisexual Hawkins sings, "I'll rock you 'til the daylight comes / Make sure you smiling and warm / I am everything / Tonight I'll be your mother / I'll do such things to ease your pain" and then goes into detail, saying "Open up, I wanna gonna come inside / I wanna fill you up, I wanna make you cry." Lesbians have been getting down to this song for decades."sushi for breakfast" - BAYLILesbians love a little morning sex, and in "sushi for breakfast," BAYLI sings all about the wonderful world of an early excursion in the sheets. She doesn't need love, she just wants "sushi for breakfast." With her swagger, singing lines like, "Turn you on when you see me actin' reckless," we know she gets it."Drive" - Melissa FerrickIn this song from 2000, Melissa Ferrick sings an extended metaphor, saying she can "drive" as long as, anywhere, and any way her partner wants. "Your mouth waters / Stretched out on my bed / Your fingers are trembling / And your heart is heavy and red / And your head is bent back / And your back is arched / My hand is under there / Holding you up," she sings."Persephone" - Allison RussellCanadian Americana superstar and Grammy-winner Allison Russell sings about her love affair with a woman named Persephone in this beautiful song. In the second verse of the song, she gets down to business, singing, "Mouth to mouth, mouth to flower / Salty sweet you give me power / I feel you shake under my lips / Your fingers tender find my secrets" and urges her lover to not make a sound because her parents are "sleeping just above." It's sexy and romantic.Check out our interview with Allison Russell."Nectar" - RaveenaRaveena sings about providing "Mother Earth in my thighs" in this slow jam. "I get so wild, so / Let me show it to you / Mm, I got the nectar / Affection, and truth / Baby, ooh, baby," she sings over a seductive, sultry, and scintillating beat."Drip" - AsiahnIn "Drip," singer Asiahn introduces her partner to the joys of lesbian sex, and though her partner is nervous, she knows it's going well because "Your body speakin' my language / And it's sayin' / Drip, drip, drip, drop." "Imagine us skin-to-skin, eye-to-eye / Bodies wet from the sweat, I'm workin' out with you / Fingertips trembling into places wonderful (Oh)/ Whisperin' 'how does it feel?' and 'Do you like?'" she sings. Things only get hotter from there."Freak" - Jada Michael"When it comes to you and me / Girl, you know that I'm the one who gives you what you need," Jada Michael brags in this song about being a lady in the streets but a freak in the sheets.

Steve Rad, CEO of toy maker Abacus Brands Inc., which designs science kits and other educational toys for older children, shows a new improved matte box, left, that will replace its black mold plastic material packaging insert with an improved cardboard material to help offset the costs of future tariffs in El Segundo, Calif., on Monday, March 31, 2025. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes)2025-04-01T16:35:43Z NEW YORK (AP) Gadgets sold without batteries. Toys sold in slimmed-down boxes or no packaging at all. More household goods that shoppers need to assemble themselves.These are some of the ways consumer product companies are retooling their wares to reduce costs and avoid raising prices as President Donald Trump levies new import taxes on key trading partners as well as some materials used by American manufacturers.The economic environment in which the president has imposed, threatened and occasionally postponed repeated rounds of tariffs is more precarious than during his first term. U.S. consumers are feeling tapped out after several years of inflation. Businesses say tariffs add to their expenses and eat into their profits, but they are wary of losing sales if they try to pass all of the increase on to customers.Instead, some companies are exploring cost-cutting options, both ones that consumers likely would notice in time remember shrinkflation? and ones that exist too far down the supply chain for them to see. The changes may help minimize price increases yet wont be enough in every case to offset them completely. These are some of the strategies retailers and brands have in mind: A kink in the supply chain: After putting an extra 20% tariff on all goods from China, as well as a 25% tariff on imported steel, aluminum and automobiles, Trump said he would announce on Wednesday the targets of reciprocal tariffs that mirror the taxes all other nations apply to certain U.S. exports. He argues the tariffs will spur domestic manufacturing, among other goals. Also on the horizon: twice-delayed tariffs on most goods from Canada and Mexico, and duties on copper, lumber and pharmaceutical drugs. Kimberly Kirkendall, president of supply-chain consulting firm International Resource Development, has told clients U.S. makers of shelving, home goods and food products that given all the uncertainty, this is not the time for long-term moves like seeking factories outside of China. She encouraged them to focus on the short term, particularly the need to scrutinize product lines from every angle for possible savings.Youve got to collaborate and work together with your suppliers in this situation to be able to bring costs down, Kirkendall said.Sourcing concerns are not only a worry for big companies that rely on Chinese manufacturers. Sasha Iglehart, founder of a small online clothing company called Shirt Story, has a collection of upcycled mens shirts that sell for around $235. She said she typically gets her vintage buttons from an Austrian supplier and knows Trump has talked about taxing goods from the European Union.I will continue to look for local vendors and collectors here in the States as back up, said Iglehart, whose company is based in Connecticut. Reworking a productFor many companies, evaluating which components or details they can remove from their products or replace with less expensive ones is the go-to move for absorbing the potential financial hit from tariffs. Los Angeles-based toy company Abacus Brands Inc., which designs science kits and other educational toys, has most of its products made in China. By using slightly thinner paper in an 80-page project book that comes with two of its kits, the company expects to avert a $10 retail price increase, President Steve Rad said. Three or 4 cents here, Rad said. Seven or 6 cents there. Two more pennies over there. All of a sudden, youve made up the difference.Aurora World Inc., known for its plush pets and toy vehicles, is looking at using fewer paint colors as a way to counteract tariff costs, according to Gabe Higa, managing director of the California companys toy division. All of Aurora Worlds toys come from factories in China. This is something that makes it a little bit simpler so that theres less manual labor involved or less material cost, Higa said. (It) doesnt have a lot of incremental value so its easy to take away. The company still may have to raise prices as long as the new tariffs are in effect, he said. Economy packaging: Tweaking or reducing product packaging is another area where importers may cut back and carries the advantage of possibly appealing to eco-conscious customers.Basic Fun CEO Jay Foreman, whose company markets classic toys like Tonka trucks, Lincoln Logs and Care Bears, said he is presenting retailers with three different packaging options and asking them to decide which ones they prefer for the trucks and some other products that will be in stores next spring. The first is the current packaging, which consists of a box with a big open window that lets customers see whats inside. The second option: no box, just a tray attached to the bottom of toys to hold them in place on shelves. The third: unwrapped but affixed with a simple paper price tag that features brand information.The second-tier packaging would reduce the toy companys cost per item by $1.25, and the package-free version would yield savings of $1.75, Foreman said. Both would diminish the appeal of the products and would not come close to canceling out the tariff on goods made in China, Foreman said. He said he would make pricing decisions later this week after Trump provides details about his planned reciprocal tariffs. To further reduce its production costs, Abacus Brands is thinking of switching from plastic to cardboard for the package inserts that keep toy parts in place. Cardboard trays cost 7 cents per unit compared to 30 cents for the plastic version, according to Rad.The change requires finding a new factory to make the inserts, a move that did not make financial sense before now, he said. The various tariff-related modifications should be effective for fall and holiday deliveries to stores, Rad said. The compromises were making are things that do not matter to the consumer, he said.Forget the extrasShoppers will likely have to assemble more of their products at home as companies look to reduce shipping costs, according to Kirkendall of International Resource Development.One of her clients manufactures self-watering planters that are made in China. The product is undergoing a redesign so it can be shipped as separate nesting components instead of fully assembled.Companies also are reevaluating the pieces of their products that are essential or extra. Chris Bajda, managing partner at online wedding gift retailer Groomsday, said accessories like batteries and decorative gift boxes may end up in the latter category.We now carefully assess whats truly necessary and avoid including items that dont serve a functional purpose for the customer, Bajda said.The return of shrinkflation? Reducing the size or weight of products without lowering prices proliferated as a business practice from 2021 through 2024 as companies grappled with rising costs for ingredients, packaging, labor and transportation. Edgar Dworsky, a consumer advocate and former assistant attorney general in Massachusetts, suspects the makers of consumer goods will embrace shrinkflation again to hide costs given the blast of new tariffs. The additional import tax on Canadian soft lumber, for example, might show up in smaller toilet paper rolls, he said. Shrinkflation has been a little quiet in the last few months, Dworksy said. But I would expect to see both price increases and product shrinkage.
