Congress targeted Planned Parenthood for defunding, but also caught a Maine health care provider

Planned Parenthood isn’t the only abortion provider that stands to lose Medicaid payments under a budget plan signed by President Donald Trump. The much smaller Maine Family Planning was also hit by the policy. Now, it’s suing. The law seeks to bar Medicaid payments for family planning organizations that provide abortion and received at least $800,000 in Medicaid funding in 2023. It appears the group in the rural state is the only one besides the nation’s biggest abortion provider to meet the definition. The funds in question are for services other than abortion, such as birth control and primary care.

Florida State student accused in a mass shooting is set to go to trial in November

The trial for the Florida State University student accused of killing two people and wounding six others in a mass shooting on campus in April is set to go to trial this November. A judge in a Tallahassee courthouse on Wednesday set jury selection in the case of 20-year-old Phoenix Ikner to begin the week of Nov. 3. Ikner’s public defender said he needs more time to delve into the case, which involves extensive video surveillance footage and witness testimony. The prosecution indicated it would be ready for the November trial. Ikner faces two counts of first-degree murder and seven counts of attempted murder.

‘Recession pop’ and new Christian music surge in the US as streaming growth slows

More music is being streamed than ever before, but the rate of growth has slowed. That’s according to Luminate’s 2025 Midyear Report, which was released Wednesday. Global streams reached 2.5 trillion in the first half of 2025, up from nearly 2.3 trillion last year. However, growth rates have dropped compared to 2024. In the U.S., streaming now accounts for 92% of all music consumption. Notably, Christian music and “recession pop” are seeing a resurgence. Christian music’s growth is driven by younger, streaming-savvy fans, while nostalgic pop hits from the time of the Great Recession are gaining popularity, including tracks from Bruno Mars, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga and Rihanna.

US producer prices unchanged with wholesale inflation remaining under control

U.S. wholesale inflation cooled last month, despite worries that President Donald Trump’s tariffs would push prices higher. The Labor Department reported Wednesday that its producer price index — which tracks inflation before it hits consumers — was unchanged in June from May and up 2..3% from a year earlier. Both measures came in below economists’ forecasts. Excluding volatile food and energy prices, so called core producer prices were also unchanged from May and up 2.6% from June 2024.

Native American radio stations at risk as Congress looks to cut $1B in public broadcasting funding

Native American radio stations could face shutdowns if Congress cuts over $1 billion from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. The Senate plans to vote this week on proposed funding cuts for 2026 and 2027, already approved by the House. Tribal stations are often the sole source of news, cultural programming and vital weather alerts in Indian Country. Radio industry leaders warn the cuts could leave millions without those essential services. Republicans who support the cuts say it helps address the national debt and that the public media system is politically biased. Critics say it will be locally owned public radio and television stations that will suffer most.

How Trump could use a building renovation to oust the Fed chair

President Donald Trump says he has finally found a way to achieve his goal of removing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, accusing him of mismanaging the U.S. central bank’s $2.5 billion renovation project. The push comes after a monthslong campaign by Trump to try to rid himself of the politically independent central banker. Powell has resisted the president’s calls to slash interest rates out of concerns about the administration’s tariffs sparking higher levels of inflation. But the president indicated Tuesday that Powell’s handling of an extensive renovation project on two Fed buildings in Washington could be grounds to take the unprecedented and possibly legally dubious step of firing him.

Rough times for broadcast networks illustrate changing media landscape

Two milestones revealed this week illustrated the diminishing power of broadcast television in a new media world. Nielsen said Tuesday that the number of people who watched streaming services in June exceeded those who were watching broadcast and cable television. That’s only happened one time before — in May — but that was only by a fraction of a percentage point. The margin widened considerably in June, driven in large part by young people who got out of school and have more time to watch shows like “Ginny & Georgia” and “Squid Game” on Netflix. Fox News Channel last week eclipsed all of the broadcast networks in prime-time weeknight viewing for the third week in a row.

Some Australian dolphins use sponges to hunt fish, but it’s harder than it looks

Some dolphins in Australia use sponges on their noses to hunt fish, a skill passed down through generations. Research published Tuesday reveals that this technique involves using sponges to protect their noses while stirring up fish from the seafloor. But the sponges interfere with the dolphins’ echolocation, making the skill challenging to master. Only about 5% of the studied population, or 30 dolphins, use this method. Scientists say it’s an efficient but rare hunting strategy, learned over years and passed only from mother to calf. The findings highlight the complexity of dolphin behavior and appear in the journal Royal Society Open Science.

Despite scandal and a looming corruption trial, Trayon White wins vote to return to the DC Council

A former Washington, D.C., Council member is returning to his seat, five months after he was kicked out for his involvement in a federal bribery investigation. Trayon White defeated three challengers in a special election Tuesday to fill the Ward 8 council seat that has been vacant since his expulsion in February. White, 41, was arrested by the FBI last August. After an internal investigation, the remaining 12 D.C. Council members voted unanimously to oust him from the council. However, White was free to enter the special election because he had not been convicted of a felony. He won reelection just a few months later in an indication of a scandal-proof popularity that echoes his political mentor: former D.C. Mayor Marion Barry.

Republicans declared it ‘crypto’ week in the House. It’s not going as planned

House Republicans are struggling with cryptocurrency legislation that they had expected to pass during what they dubbed “crypto week.” The crypto legislative package stalled Tuesday when 13 Republicans joined Democrats on a key procedural vote. Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters that some of the Republicans who blocked the bills wanted them packaged together. Johnson said negotiations are underway between the House, Senate and White House on the path forward. Trump intervened during a late evening meeting with Republicans at the White House, and appeared to put the bills back on track. He posted on social media that he expected votes as soon as Wednesday.

Trump administration fires 17 immigration court judges across ten states, union says

Seventeen immigration court judges have been fired in recent days. That’s according to the union that represents the judges. The International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers says 15 judges were dismissed on Friday and two more on Monday. The firings occurred across ten states, including California, Texas, and New York. The union criticizes the move, calling it harmful as courts face a backlog of 3.5 million cases. Immigration courts, under the Justice Department, are already struggling with delays. The union claims over 100 judges have left or been fired since the Trump administration began, worsening the system’s challenges. No comment has been provided by officials.

Trump tells Texas Republicans to redraw the state congressional map to help keep House majority

President Donald Trump is pushing Republicans in Texas to redraw the state’s congressional maps to help ensure the party keeps its majority in the U.S. House in next year’s midterm elections. The president’s directive signals part of the strategy Trump is likely to take to avoid a repeat of his first term, when Democrats flipped the House just two years into his presidency. When asked about the possibility of adding GOP-friendly districts around the country, Trump responded, “Texas will be the biggest one. And that’ll be five.” House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries says Trump’s push will “undermine free and fair elections.”

The National Park Service is defending its handling of a lightning-sparked wildfire that destroyed the Grand Canyon Lodge. The agency said Tuesday that containment lines were in place and crews were prepared to conduct defensive firing operations. Then came a sudden and extreme wind shift that far exceeded forecast conditions. The flames jumped the lines and raced toward the lodge and other historic buildings. Crews had more favorable weather Tuesday as they focused on stopping the flames from consuming the remaining buildings along the North Rim. Tourists at the park’s popular South Rim watched Tuesday as plumes of smoke rose above the canyon walls.

Democrats are trolling Trump and the GOP over the Jeffrey Epstein case

Democrats are latching on to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal. On Tuesday, they trolled Republicans in online posts and demanded records be released, reveling in a rare backlash roiling President Donald Trump’s fiercely loyal base. Conspiracy theories over Epstein’s death in prison have largely been a fixation for the right. But as some of Trump’s most influential allies refuse to heed his pleas to move on, Democrats sense an opening to further divide Republicans and appease elements of their own base hungry for a more aggressive confrontation with the other side.

She’s seeking to press ahead with a business-as-usual approach in the face of right-wing outrage that has plunged the Justice Department into turmoil. Bondi was pressed by reporters at an announcement touting drug seizures. The Trump administration is struggling to contain the fallout of a decision not to release any more records related to the wealthy financier’s sex trafficking investigation.

Immigration agency flexes authority to sharply expand detention without bond hearing

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is moving to detain far more people than before, tapping a legal authority to jail anyone who entered the country illegally. Todd Lyons, ICE’s acting director, wrote employees on July 8 that people in deportation proceedings would be ineligible for a bond hearing before an immigration judge. Instead, they cannot be released unless the Homeland Security Department makes an exception. The directive signals wider use of a 1996 law to detain people who had previously been allowed to remain free while their cases wind through immigration court.

House Republicans on Tuesday grilled the leaders of Georgetown University, the City University of New York and the University of California, Berkeley, in the latest hearing on antisemitism in higher education, accusing the schools of failing to respond adequately to allegations of bias or discrimination. In their appearance before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, the three university leaders said that they had taken disciplinary action where appropriate and stressed the importance of protecting free speech and discourse for students and faculty. The hearing was the ninth in a series Republicans have held to scrutinize university leadership over allegations of antisemitism on campuses.

Trump reshaped the Supreme Court. Now emergency appeals are helping him reshape the government

President Donald Trump has achieved significant victories in the Supreme Court during the first six months of his second term. The court, reshaped by three Trump appointees, has supported his administration on issues like immigration, federal employee dismissals and military policies. Critics highlight the administration’s use of emergency appeals to fast-track cases, often resulting in rulings without clear legal explanations. On Monday, the court approved a move to dismantle the Education Department, sparking dissent from liberal justices. Experts warn these actions could undermine lower courts and create irreversible changes before final rulings are made.

US appeals court upholds West Virginia restriction on abortion pill sales

A federal appeals court has upheld a lower court’s decision to restrict abortion pill sales in West Virginia. A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a 2023 ruling. That’s despite federal regulators’ approval of it as a safe and effective medication. A district judge determined in 2023 that the near-total abortion ban signed by Republican Gov. Jim Justice took precedence over approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Appeals court judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III wrote that disregarding the Supreme Court’s landmark 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade “is not an option.”

Employees at the nation’s consumer financial watchdog say it’s become toothless under Trump

Once a powerful watchdog for financial wrongdoing, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has seen its enforcement efforts grind to a halt under the Trump administration. Employees report being unable to perform their duties, and investigations into financial misconduct are being undone. Financial institutions like Navy Federal Credit Union and Toyota Financial have had penalties rescinded, leaving harmed customers without restitution. The new budget law passed by Congress earlier this month cuts the CFPB’s funding by roughly half, meaning the bureau will be forced into mass layoffs.

In some cases, companies that were supposed to refund their customers or pay a penalty for unfair or deceptive practices are no longer bound to make their customers whole. Other companies facing charges of fraud of deceptive practices saw their lawsuits dropped. Companies that got reprieves include Capital One, Walmart and Navy Federal Credit Union.

Monday’s ruling allows the department to move ahead with mass layoffs and a plan to outsource work to other federal agencies. Lawyers from the department have already previewed next steps in court filings. In March, Trump suggested the Small Business Administration would take on federal student loans. But a court filing in June indicated the Treasury Department is expected to take over the work. The department had also recently struck a deal to outsource workforce training and adult education to the Department of Labor.

President Donald Trump and Sen. David McCormick of Pennsylvania are planning on announcing roughly $70 billion of energy investments at a new summit that focuses on energy and innovation. The president has repeatedly pledged U.S. “energy dominance” in the global market, and Pennsylvania — a swing state critical to his wins in 2016 and 2024 — is at the forefront of that agenda. Coal, a key part of Trump’s energy agenda, is a big industry in the state. McCormick says Tuesday’s summit is meant to bring together top energy companies and artificial intelligence leaders, global investors and labor behind Trump’s energy policies and priorities. Participating companies include Blackstone, SoftBank, Amazon Web Services, BlackRock and ExxonMobil.

With temporary protections for some Afghans set to expire, appeals court steps in

An appeals court has briefly extended protections for nearly 12,000 Afghans in the U.S. under Temporary Protected Status. The Department of Homeland Security had announced in May that TPS for Afghans would end, leaving many at risk of deportation. On Monday, the nonprofit CASA appealed the decision and secured a one-week stay. The court has asked both sides to submit briefs this week. Advocates argue that many Afghans supported U.S. efforts during the war and deserve safety. TPS allows individuals to work and avoid deportation but doesn’t provide a path to citizenship, making its renewal precarious.

All-Star starters Tarik Skubal of Detroit and Paul Skenes of Pittsburgh say pitchers often think everything is a strike. Clayton Kershaw believes the system works if it’s adjusted for player height, which it does. During spring training tests, teams won 52.2% of challenges.

Haskell is the son of Sam Haskell, a prominent television producer. He had pleaded not guilty to three counts of murder. Prosecutors say he killed the three family members in a house they all shared with his three children. They say Haskell dismembered the bodies and disposed of them in trash bags.

Massie was one of two House Republicans to vote against Trump’s massive tax bill. He also said Trump lacked authority to bomb nuclear sites in Iran without congressional approval. Trump aides launched a super PAC devoted to defeating Massie in his 2026 primary, the first concerted effort by Trump’s team to unseat a sitting member of Congress. Massie’s campaign said Monday he raised just over $584,000 between April and June and has raised more than $1 million since the last election.

While prosecutors argued that the evidence was untimely and inadmissible, the judge agreed the evidence could have changed the outcome of their murder convictions.

In a report released Monday, they criticize foreign aid cuts, tariffs on allies and restrictions on foreign students. They argue such moves undermine U.S. influence and allow China to expand its global power. The White House says the U.S. is strong again under Trump and that his foreign policy is effective “because of his willingness to look anyone in the eye to get better deals for the American people.”

Music Review: Cult hero Alex G’s ‘Headlights’ is an introspective meditation on fame

Influential indie rock Alex G’s major label debut album is called “Headlights.” Releasing Friday, the album is an introspective meditation on fame, The Associated Press’ Krysta Fauria writes in her review. Known for his lo-fi tracks and collaborations with Frank Ocean and Halsey, Alex G’s “Headlights” is a step toward more robust production and instrumentation. Think dreamy synths and reverb-soaked riffs. If there is a central message to “Headlights,” it appears on the song “Bounce Boy.” There, he sings with pitched-up vocals, one of his signature effects, about saying goodbye to a former life. For better or for worse, there is no turning back.

Martin Cruz Smith, acclaimed author of ‘Gorky Park,’ dies at 82

Mystery novelist Martin Cruz Smith, known for such Arkady Renko thrillers as “Gorky Park,” has died at age 82. His publisher, Simon & Schuster, confirmed that he died Friday in San Rafael, California, surrounded by loved ones. Smith, who had Parkinson’s disease, gave the same condition to his famous protagonist, Renko. His final Renko novel, “Hotel Ukraine,” will be published this week. Smith’s career spanned decades, with honors including a Gold Dagger award for “Gorky Park,” which became a bestseller and a film. His works often explored Soviet and Russian history, and were praised for blending sharp characters with compelling plots.

Under fire by Trump over costs, Chair Powell seeks watchdog review of Fed building overhaul

Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell is asking an inspector general to review the cost of the central bank’s building renovations that White House officials have attacked as “ostentatious.” The Fed has been renovating two of its office buildings in Washington for several years at a current cost estimate of about $2.5 billion, $700 million more than originally expected. Trump administration officials have seized on the expense and some alleged amenities in the remodeled buildings to extend their criticism of Powell, whom the president has attacked for not reducing the Fed’s short-term rate.

Most teens — and girls especially — see college as key to jobs and life skills, AP-NORC poll says

A recent AP-NORC Teen Poll poll shows most U.S. teenagers prioritize graduating from college, with 70% of girls and 54% of boys considering it important. Teens see college as key for good jobs, life skills and personal growth. Aside from college, the poll finds teenagers have a lot of the same life goals as adults, such as owning a home or raising a family. But few teenagers believe those goals have gotten easier to achieve for their generation compared with their parents.

A Senate vote this week will test the popularity of DOGE spending cuts

Senate Republicans are putting the popularity of Department of Government Efficiency spending cuts to the test this week. The GOP lawmakers are looking to pass President Donald Trump’s request to claw back $9.4 billion in spending on public media and foreign aid. Senate Democrats are looking to kill the measure. The House has already approved the rescissions package on a mostly party line 214-212 vote. The Senate has little time to spare to beat the 45-day deadline for the Republican president’s signature. If Congress fails to act by Friday, then the spending stands.

US manufacturers are stuck in a rut despite subsidies from Biden and protection from Trump

Democratic President Joe Biden handed out subsidies to chipmakers and electric vehicle manufacturers. Republican President Donald Trump is building a wall of import taxes – tariffs – around the U.S. economy to protect domestic industry from foreign competition. But American manufacturing has been stuck in a rut anyway. Biden’s subsidies haven’t had time to deliver many factory jobs, and some of them have already been overturned by the Republican Congress. Trump’s tariffs help some manufacturers but hurt others. And the erratic way he’s rolled them out has paralyzed factory managers who don’t know what to plan for.

Wildfire destroys a historic Grand Canyon lodge and other structures

A historic lodge on the Grand Canyon’s North Rim has been destroyed by a wildfire. Grand Canyon National Park Superintendent Ed Keable told park residents and staff that the Grand Canyon Lodge, the only lodging within the park’s North Rim, was consumed by the flames. He says the visitor center, the gas station and a waste water treatment plant also were lost, along with some employee housing and an administrative building. Millions of people visit Grand Canyon National Park annually, with most going to the more popular South Rim. The North Rim is open seasonally. It was largely evacuated last Thursday because of the wildfire, with more evacuations of firefighters and hikers in the inner canyon over the weekend.

Armies of Texas volunteers dig out, clean up, after fatal floods

Armies of Texan volunteers are leading flood recovery and cleanup, supplementing official efforts even as more flooding hits and the search for the missing continues. One devastated property resembles a construction site as equipment operators clear debris. An Army unit from Fort Hood scraped mud out of the cabin while other people yanked away drywall. A Bible study group from San Antonio hand-washed tools from someone’s barn. A woman carefully wiped clean old photo negatives, hoping to preserve a couple’s memories. The hard labor in the sweltering Texas summer heat includes the debris removal and remediation often done by hired contractors but out of reach for households lacking insurance. Many survivors said it is simply too expensive.

‘Who’s got next?’ Democrats already lining up for 2028 presidential race in early voting states

The voters in early presidential nominating states are used to seeing contenders months or even years before most of the country. But the political jockeying in 2025 for the 2028 presidential contest appears to be playing out earlier, with more frequency and with less pretense than ever before. While the first presidential primary votes won’t be cast for another two and a half years, three Democratic presidential prospects are scheduled to campaign in South Carolina for 10 days this month. Nearly a half dozen others have made recent pilgrimages to South Carolina, New Hampshire and Iowa. This week, both Kentucy Gov. Andy Beshear and Rep. Ro Khanna will be in South Carolina.

A year after Trump’s near-assassination, friends and allies see some signs of a changed man

One year after Donald Trump’s near-assassination at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, friends and allies see some signs of a changed man. While largely the same brash Trump, they say he is more attentive and more grateful and speaks openly about how he believes he was saved by God to save the country and serve a second term. And while many who survive traumatic events try to block them from memory, Trump has instead surrounded himself with memorabilia commemorating the episode. He’s decorated the White House and his golf clubs with art pieces depicting the moment after the shooting when he thrust his fist in the air and chanted, “Fight, fight, fight!”

From tariffs to universities, Trump’s negotiating style is often less dealmaking and more coercion

President Donald Trump prides himself on being a dealmaker, but his negotiating style is more ultimatum than compromise. This week, he imposed tariffs on trading partners, pressured the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates and launched a new investigation into higher education. Trump defends his tactics as fulfilling campaign promises, but critics say his actions erode democratic institutions and prioritize domination over compromise. Universities have faced funding cuts for refusing to bend to his administration’s demands. Trump has also clashed with the Federal Reserve, urging its chair to resign and threatening its independence. His planned tariffs have disrupted trade talks, raising doubts about U.S. reliability in agreements.

‘Beautiful’ or ‘Ugly,’ Trump’s big bill shapes the battle for House control in 2026 midterms

Debate over President Donald Trump’s sweeping budget-and-policy package is over on Capitol Hill. Now the argument goes national. The new law already is shaping the 2026 midterm battle for control of the House of Representatives in dozens of competitive districts coast to coast. The outcome will set the tone for Trump’s final two years in the Oval Office. Democrats need a net gain of three House seats to break the GOP’s chokehold on Washington and reestablish a power center to counter Trump. Both parties have launched an effort to define the complex bill for voters across the competitive districts.

Nursing homes struggle with Trump’s immigration crackdown

Nursing homes around the U.S. say they’re feeling the effects of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown. As Trump has rescinded work authorizations for various groups of immigrants with Temporary Protected Status, long-term care employees have been pulled from their jobs. Meantime, facilities around the country say they’re seeing a narrowing of the pipeline of potential candidates. Some homes who had tapped refugees from Afghanistan, Ukraine and elsewhere are lamenting the pause of refugee arrivals. Others who sought out nurses in Nigeria and the Philippines say visa waits are dragging on so long that candidates are choosing other countries.

Bald eagle’s new status as the official US bird brings pride and hope to many Native Americans

Many Native Americans are marking ceremonies like graduations with bald eagle feathers, a form of reverence for the bird they have always held sacred as a messenger to the Creator. But this year, some are doing so with special pride after the bald eagle finally became the official U.S. bird. That’s especially true for a group of Mdewakanton Sioux along the banks of the Mississippi River in Minnesota, where the push for the national recognition originated. Jim Thunder Hawk, who leads the Dakota culture and language manager for the Prairie Island Indian Community, says he is thrilled to see the eagle finally get the respect it deserves.

Sotheby’s is putting some rare items up for auction, including what it calls the largest piece of Mars ever found on Earth. The natural history-themed sale on Wednesday features a 54-pound hunk of Mars estimated at $2 million to $4 million. Sotheby’s says the meteorite was blown off the surface of Mars by a massive asteroid strike and traveled 140 miles to Earth, where it was found in the Sahara in Niger in 2023. The auction house also is selling a juvenile Ceratosaurus dinosaur skeleton that’s more than 6 feet tall and nearly 11 feet long. That’s estimated at $4 million to $6 million.

The Justice Department has fired additional lawyers and support staff who worked on special counsel Jack Smith’s investigations into President Donald Trump. That’s according to two people familiar with the matter. The overall number of terminations was not immediately clear. But they cut across both the classified documents and election interference prosecutions brought by Smith, and included a handful of prosecutors who were detailed to the probe as well as Justice Department support staff and other personnel who aided them. The people who confirmed the firings spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss personnel moves that have not been publicly announced.

President Donald Trump says he is considering revoking actress and comedian Rosie O’Donnell’s U.S. citizenship. On Saturday, Trump claimed on social media that O’Donnell is not in the “best interests” of the country and suggested she should stay in Ireland, where she moved earlier this year. Legal experts, however, note the Constitution prevents the government from stripping citizenship from native-born Americans. O’Donnell, born in the U.S., has a constitutional right to her citizenship. The two have feuded publicly for years.

Unhealthy smoke from Canadian wildfires blankets the Upper Midwest when people want to be outside

Wildfire smoke from Canada has made for bad air quality over parts of the Upper Midwest. Most of Minnesota had “unhealthy” air quality Saturday. That is according to a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency map, and parts of Montana, North Dakota and Wisconsin were also dealing with the same. The smoke strikes at a time when people want to be outdoors enjoying summer pastimes. A Minnesota resort owner said he had few guests and no boats at his docks. And in Arizona and Colorado, wildfires continue to burn in and near Grand Canyon and Black Canyon of the Gunnison national parks.

Trump’s sudden shifts make his policies baffling to countries trying to negotiate lower tariffs

In the past week, President Donald Trump has managed to make his erratic trade policies even more baffling to countries desperate to negotiate an escape from his wrath. Doubling down on his trade wars, Trump is threatening to raise taxes on many goods from Canada, Mexico and the European Union, hike his universal tariff on imports from around the world and punish Brazil for prosecuting his friend, the country’s former president. Experts say the latest moves underscore the unpredictability of the president’s trade policies and, in the case of Brazil, show that Trump is trying to have influence over more than other countries’ economic affairs.

Wyoming’s first new coal mine in 50 years is said to be operating soon but it won’t rely on the fossil fuel to make money. Ramaco Resources plans to process the coal to extract rare earth elements it says are present in profitable quantities. Rare earths are a family of 17 metallic elements used in technologies like wind turbines, electric car batteries, and military targeting hardware. Energy Secretary Chris Wright and others attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday for the Brook Mine in northern Wyoming. China supplies almost 90% of the world’s rare earth elements, and the Trump administration is seeking to encourage more U.S. production.

DOGE sprouts in red states, as governors embrace the cost-cutter brand and make it their own

President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency has spawned state-level DOGE initiatives as Republican governors and lawmakers aim to show that they’re in step. Critics say some of these initiatives are nothing new or duplicative, while some governors are using their DOGE vehicles to target welfare programs or diversity, equity and inclusion programs. The state initiatives have a markedly different character than Trump’s slash-and-burn approach. Steve Slivinski of the libertarian Cato Institute says much of what he’s seen is the same mundane stuff states routinely do to save money. Analysts at the pro-labor Economic Policy Institute say some governors and lawmakers are using DOGE agendas to consolidate power.

Lahaina Street runs through the heart of Makaha, a neighborhood in a west Oahu community that’s a lot like the Lahaina on Maui that burned down in a deadly wildfire in 2023. Residents on Oahu’s Waianae coast have long known about similarities that make them prone to wildfires, including geography and dry climate. But nearly two years after Lahaina burned, there are no communities in Waianae that are “Firewise.” Communities become Firewise by organizing a committee, creating a hazard assessment, developing an action plan and volunteering time. The nationally recognized program tracks a community’s progress and connects residents with experts, ideas and funding for mitigation events, workshops and training.

A Colorado dentist is set to go on trial next week, accused of killing his wife by poisoning her protein shakes. Prosecutors say James Craig bought poison online just before his wife began experiencing symptoms that baffled doctors. After his initial attempts to kill her failed, prosecutors allege he ordered a rush shipment of potassium cyanide, saying it was needed for a surgery. Craig’s attorneys have argued that testing of his wife’s shake containers did not turn up signs of at least one poison blamed for killing her. Craig is also accused of asking a fellow jail inmate to kill the lead detective in the case.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says Canada will keep working toward a new trade framework with the United States despite U.S. President Donald Trump saying he’ll raise taxes on many imported goods from Canada to 35%. Trump’s move deepens a rift between two North American countries that have suffered a debilitating blow to their decades-old alliance. Trump’s letter Thursday to Carney  is an aggressive increase to the top 25% tariff rates the Republican president first imposed in March after months of threats. Carney says through the current trade negotiations with the U.S., Canada has defended its workers and business. Stock market futures are down Friday, a sign Trump’s tariff letters may be concerning investors.

But there are ways to end those subscriptions and memberships, even if they take some work.

But even without the new federal guidance, here are some ways to stay on top of subscription and membership fees.

A federal judge in Maryland has scolded the Trump administration for its “utter refusal” to detail deportation plans for Kilmar Abrego Garcia. The Salvadoran national could be released from a Tennessee jail next week to await trial on human smuggling charges. U.S. officials have said they would immediately try to deport him. His lawyers have asked the judge to prevent his immediate deportation or to at least to pause the proceedings so they can defend him. The Trump administration wrongfully deported Abrego Garcia to El Salvador in March. But under mounting pressure, the administration returned him to the U.S. last month to face the smuggling charges.

The seat will not decide control of the U.S. House but could chip away at Republicans’ slender 220-212 majority in the chamber. The seat is one of three vacancies in heavily Democratic districts.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Washington this week did not result in a ceasefire deal for the Gaza war, despite U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts. Trump has pushed for a 60-day truce between Israel and Hamas but faces challenges as Netanyahu insists on continuing the fight until Hamas is destroyed. On Thursday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said progress has been made but obstacles remain. Netanyahu faces pressure at home to end the war while balancing political risks and promises of victory. Trump’s ability to strike a ceasefire deal in the 21-month war will reveal the boundaries of the Republican U.S. president’s influence with Netanyahu.

Prosecutors say he and his brother led a Sinaloa cartel faction responsible for large-scale fentanyl trafficking into the U.S. If finalized, the plea deal would make him the first of El Chapo’s sons to reach such an agreement with federal prosecutors.

The chamber’s Democratic leader, Hakeem Jeffries, said the gathering at Xavier University in New Orleans was the first stop on a nationwide tour to highlight the bill’s potential impacts. The Congressional Budget Office estimates 11.8 million adults and children are at risk of losing their health insurance under the bill. Republicans insist the measure will boost the U.S. economy, strengthen the borders and ensure that millions of Americans won’t see a tax increase.

Global Citizen takes its fight against poverty to the world’s growing cities

Global Citizen is focusing on cities to combat extreme poverty amid global political gridlock. The international advocacy group sees local governments as key players in tackling the most pressing challenges such as climate change. On Thursday, Detroit hosted Global Citizen’s first U.S. conference outside New York. Global Citizen’s urban focus reflects projections that more than two-thirds of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050. The organization’s leaders fear that trend will worsen concentrated poverty if local governments don’t start creating inclusive economic opportunities. To that end, it is launching a new partnership that aims to improve artificial intelligence literacy for 10 million people by 2030.

A Denver dino museum makes a find deep under own parking lot. Like ‘a hole in one from the moon.’

A dinosaur fossil has been found in an unlikely place, a hole drilled under the parking lot of a Colorado museum where dinosaur skeletons are on display. The find happened when the Denver Museum of Nature and Science was drilling to study possible geothermal heat for the building. Museum experts say retrieving part of a dinosaur vertebra from the narrow hole was extraordinarily unlikely, but it happened. They believe it came from a smallish, plant-eating dinosaur that lived 67 million years ago. They say only two such finds are previously documented in the world. The hockey-puck-shaped fossil sample is now on display in the museum.

Israel says Iran could reach enriched uranium at a nuclear site hit by US

A senior Israeli official says Israel believes deeply buried stocks of enriched uranium at one Iranian nuclear facility hit by the U.S. military are potentially retrievable. And the agency that built the U.S. “bunker buster” bombs dropped on two other nuclear sites said Thursday that it is still waiting for data to be able to determine if those munitions reached their targets. Both developments widen the views on damage from last month’s strikes, when the United States inserted itself in Israel’s war in a bid to eliminate the threat of Iran developing a nuclear weapon. President Donald Trump is adamant that the U.S. strikes “obliterated” the three Iranian nuclear facilities it targeted.

The newest way to influence Trump: Nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize

Leaders, lawmakers and others are using a new strategy to stay on President Donald Trump’s good side: Nominate him for a Nobel Peace Prize and let him know it. The Republican president has coveted the prestigious honor for years and nominations for him to get it are piling up. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this week gave Trump a copy of the nomination letter he sent to the Nobel committee. African leaders meeting with Trump praised his work brokering peace between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo and told him he deserved the prize because of it. Pakistan also nominated Trump for helping ease tensions with India.

White House escalates pressure campaign on Fed chair by targeting its headquarters renovation

President Donald Trump is escalating his pressure campaign to get the Federal Reserve chairman to either lower interest rates or quit his post by targeting the expensive renovation at the central bank’s headquarters. On Thursday, President Donald Trump’s budget adviser Russ Vought accused Fed Chair Jerome Powell of violating building rules with an “ostentatious overhaul.” Trump has also appointed allies to scrutinize the project further. If successful, Trump will have expanded his influence to yet another corner of American government that was once seen as beyond the reach of political pressure. But he also risks jeopardizing the independence that has made the central bank a foundational player in the U.S. economy.

George Mason University faces investigation in Trump administration’s anti-DEI crackdown

The Trump administration on Thursday opened a civil rights investigation into the hiring practices at George Mason University, expanding a national campaign against diversity policies to Virginia’s largest public university. The Education Department said it is responding to a complaint from multiple professors at George Mason who accuse the university of favoring those from underrepresented groups. The complaint takes aim at the university’s president, Gregory Washington, saying he issued guidance that favors faculty candidates based on their diversity rather than their credentials. It marks a further expansion of the Trump administrations campaign to reshape higher education, which until recently focused on private institutions like Harvard and Columbia.

A recap of the trial over the Trump administration’s crackdown on pro-Palestinian campus protesters

University associations are challenging in a lawsuit the Trump administration’s campaign of arresting and deporting college faculty and students who participated in pro-Palestinian demonstrations. During the first four days of the trial, plaintiffs put several noncitizen scholars on the stand to talk about how the crackdown prompted led them to limit their travel and stay away from protests. And an official with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement testified that a special group was formed to investigate protesters. He said it looked at as many as 5,000 people and estimated that it compiled reports on about 200.

As Netanyahu wraps Washington visit, progress on a Gaza ceasefire remains murky

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has attended a memorial service for two slain Israeli Embassy staffers at the end of his trip to Washington. He met this week with President Donald Trump about a ceasefire deal in Gaza and other issues. But as Netanyahu gets set to head back to Israel, it is unclear if there was any breakthrough on sealing a Trump-backed 60-day truce between Israel and Hamas. Netanyahu said in a video released Thursday that he is trying to wrap up the U.S.-backed deal but stressed it will be “temporary” and would be aimed at releasing half of the 50 hostages remaining in Gaza, many of them believed dead.

Ford recalls over 850,000 cars in the US due to potential fuel pump failure

Ford is recalling more than 850,000 of its cars across the U.S. because the low-pressure fuel pump inside the vehicles may fail — and potentially cause an engine stall while driving, increasing crash risks. The recall covers a wide range of Ford and Lincoln-branded vehicles made in recent model years. That includes certain Ford Broncos, Explorers and F-150s, as well as Lincoln Aviators and Navigators, documents published this week by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration note. Ford plans to send out notification letters to affected owners starting July 14, to warn of safety risks related to this potential fuel pump failure. But recall documents note that a remedy is still under development. Ford isn’t aware of any accidents or injuries related to these recalled cars.

Gun makers lose appeal of New York law that could make them liable for shootings

A federal appeals court has upheld a New York law holding gun manufacturers potentially liable when their weapons are used in deadly shootings. The ruling Thursday by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan affirmed a 2022 decision by an Albany judge. The three-judge appeals panel said the 2021 New York state law was not unconstitutional or too vague to implement. A trade association of firearms manufacturers that ship or transport firearms and ammunition into New York had sued to try to stop the law.

Senate Republicans block attempt to roll back massive tax hike on professional gamblers

Senate Republicans are rejecting an attempt to reverse a provision from their new tax law that changes the taxation of gambling winnings. Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada on Thursday sought unanimous passage of a bill that would roll back the gambling provision. But Republican Sen. Todd Young of Indiana objected, stalling the proposal for now.  Under the new tax law, starting in 2026 individuals can only deduct 90% of their gambling losses up to the amount of their winnings. That’s a change from the previous rule, which allowed gamblers to deduct 100% of their losses, up to the amount they won.

Man accused of attempting to assassinate Trump wants to represent himself in Florida case

A man charged with attempting to assassinate President Donald Trump says he wants to fire his lawyers and represent himself. Ryan Routh asked a federal judge in court Thursday to let him serve as his own attorney. U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon questioned Routh for about 30 minutes but did not rule during the hearing. Cannon said she will issue a written order later. Prosecutors have said Routh plotted to kill Trump for weeks before aiming a rifle through shrubbery as Trump played golf in September at his West Palm Beach country club. Routh has pleaded not guilty.

Making healthy snacks a habit when afternoon energy slumps strike at work

Sticking to healthy snacks during workdays can be tough, especially with busy schedules and tempting treats nearby.
