Federal court blocks Alabama plan for new congressional districts that could help Republicans

Federal judges on Tuesday blocked Alabama’s plan to use a congressional map that could give Republicans an advantage in a key U.S. House race in the midterm elections. A three-judge panel in the state’s long-running redistricting case issued a preliminary injunction that prevents the state from switching maps, ruling that the Republican-backed plan “intentionally discriminated based on race” by including only one Black-majority district. The judges instead required Alabama to continue using a court-ordered map in place for the 2024 elections that includes t

Trump, near 80, to have annual physical amid scrutiny of recent ailments

U.S. President Donald Trump, who turns 80 next month, arrived on Tuesday at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for his annual physical, following a year of public attention on apparently minor health issues.Trump frequently casts himself as more energetic and fitter than Joe Biden, his Democratic predecessor who left office last year at age 82 after facing questions about his fitness for the job. Still, recent photographs showing a blotchy neck rash have added to questions about Trump's health, following images in July 2025 of swollen ankles and a bruised hand concealed with mak

Trump foe James Comey reacts to DOJ's 'anti-weaponization' fund

Former US Capitol riot prosecutors, fired federal officials and journalists who say they were past targets of President Donald Trump’s retribution tell CNN they may seek compensation from the Justice Department’s $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund.Some Trump critics have already sent letters to the DOJ outlining their claims, hoping to draw attention to how the president has harnessed government powers in an effort to punish his political opponents. Others are still debating whether filing a request could legitimize a fund they see as brazenly corrupt.The six Democratic lawmakers w

How a Texas Democrat rebuked by her party for antisemitism made it to the runoff

Maureen Galindo, a sex therapist and housing advocate, caught Democrats off guard when she placed first in the March 3 primary for Texas’ 35th Congressional District, despite spending just a few thousand dollars on her campaign.That surprise quickly turned to alarm as her use of antisemitic tropes in criticizing Israel and her primary rival Johnny Garcia — whose bid for the US House seat has been backed by a pro-Israel group — gained national attention, drawing widespread condemnation from members of both parties.Now, Tuesday’s runoff election has become for many a referendum on Galind

Supreme Court rejects Florida's bid to sue Western states over truck licenses for immigrants

The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected Florida's long shot attempt to sue California and Washington state over the issuance of commercial driver licenses to truckers who don't speak English and are not authorized to be in the United States. The case stems from a crash in Florida last year that killed three people. The driver, Harjinder Singh, is accused of making an illegal U-turn that caused the accident. Singh, who is from India, was carrying a valid commercial driver's license from California and had earlier been granted one by Washington state. Republican-led Fl

Iran says new US strikes violate ceasefire

Iran said the United States had violated a ceasefire after the U.S. conducted what it called defensive strikes in southern Iran, while U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said negotiating a deal to halt the conflict could "take a few days". Iran's foreign ministry said U.S. strikes in Iran's southern Hormozgan province, where Iranian media reported sounds of explosions early on Tuesday, represented a "gross violation" of a tenuous ceasefire in place for nearly seven weeks. Both sides had previously indicated progress on a memorandum of understanding that could halt the war and resta

Trump’s advanced age and threats to his life serve as reminders of his own mortality

When President Donald Trump’s doctors release a summary of the physical exam he is scheduled to undergo Tuesday, the document is almost certain to conclude he remains in excellent health, if his previous assessments offer any indication.But that is likely to do little to quiet questions about Trump’s health. And even the president himself has begun making tacit acknowledgement of his own mortality — albeit often in the context of security — as he reflects periodically on his limited time left on Earth and wonders aloud whether he would make it into heaven.“I don’t know how long I�

From LA to Scottsdale: The Founder Behind AdDynamix Is Building the Bridge Between AI and Business Tools

An LA digital advertising veteran of 28 years has moved to Scottsdale and is building what he calls the missing piece between business software and the AI assistants people now use every day. SCOTTSDALE, AZ. When Benoit Pecqueur talks about his latest company, he sounds less like a founder pitching a product and more like an operator who got tired of watching the same problem repeat itself. “Most small business owners are watching the AI revolution from the sidelines,” he says. “Not because they don’t want it. Because their tools don’t talk to ChatGPT or Claude. Their accountant still pulls
