Man who threw sandwich at federal agent in Washington is found not guilty of assault charge

November 6, 2025

By MICHAEL KUNZELMAN - Associated Press

A former Justice Department employee who threw a sandwich at a federal agent during President Donald Trump’s law enforcement surge in Washington has been found not guilty of assault. A viral video of the incident made Sean Charles Dunn a symbol of resistance to Trump’s deployment of federal agents to combat crime in the nation’s capital. Dunn’s misdemeanor acquittal Thursday is another setback for prosecutors who’ve faced a backlash for how they’ve handled criminal cases resulting from the surge. Dunn says he’s relieved and looking forward to moving on with his life. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro is accepting the verdict but says “law enforcement should never be subjected to assault.”

Government says SNAP benefit cuts won’t be as deep as announced for some families

November 6, 2025

By GEOFF MULVIHILL and MICHAEL CASEY - Associated Press

The Trump administration now says cuts to the biggest government food program won’t be as deep as previously expected during the government shutdown. It now says that the maximum SNAP benefit for November will be cut by 35% rather than by half. The U.S. Department of Agriculture said in a new court filing that it realized the cut needn’t be as drastic as announced earlier this week — at least for those receiving the highest amount available. For some, the benefit would drop to $0. The change in the depth of cuts is the latest development in a tumultuous week over how food aid will work.

There are more than 100 autoimmune diseases, and they mostly strike women. Here’s what to know

November 6, 2025

By LAURAN NEERGAARD - AP Medical Writer

Autoimmune diseases can affect just about every part of the body – and tens of millions of people. While most common in women, these diseases can strike anyone, adults or children, and they’re on the rise. New research is raising the prospect of treatments that might do more than tamp down symptoms. Dozens of clinical trials are testing ways to reprogram immune systems, with some promising early successes against lupus, myositis and other illnesses. Other researchers are hunting ways to at least delay brewing autoimmune diseases.

Trump unveils deal to expand coverage and lower costs on obesity drugs

November 6, 2025

By TOM MURPHY, AAMER MADHANI and JONEL ALECCIA - Associated Press

President Donald Trump has unveiled a deal with drugmakers Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk to expand coverage and reduce prices for their popular obesity treatments Zepbound and Wegovy. The drugs are part of a new generation of obesity medications known as GLP-1 receptor agonists that have soared in popularity in recent years. But access to the drugs has been a consistent problem for patients because of their cost and spotty insurance coverage. Thursday’s announcement is the latest attempt by the Trump administration to rein in soaring drug prices in its efforts to address cost-of-living concerns among voters.

November 6, 2025

By The Associated Press

Major U.S. airports are among those facing 10% reductions in air traffic Friday due to the government shutdown. A list distributed to airlines and obtained by The Associated Press includes airports in New York, Chicago and Los Angeles among the 40 that will see flights slashed. The Federal Aviation Administration is imposing the reductions to take pressure off air traffic controllers, who are federal employees and have gone without pay during the shutdown. In addition to the reduced flight traffic, the shutdown has led to more flight delays, with experts advising travelers to check flight statuses before heading to the airport, among other tips.

All roads in ancient Rome stretched far longer than previously known, study shows

November 6, 2025

By CHRISTINA LARSON - AP Science Writer

As the saying went, all roads once led to Rome — and scientists now say those roads stretched 50% longer than previously known. A new study combines information from historical records, ancient journals, locations of milestones and other archival data with newly available satellite imagery to map all known roads in the ancient Roman Empire. Researchers say these feats of Roman engineering still shape the geography and economy of the Mediterranean region and beyond. The new dataset and digital map are available online for scholars, history teachers and people with an interest in ancient Roman history. Results were published Thursday in Scientific Data.

Appeals court gives Trump gets another shot at erasing his hush money conviction

November 6, 2025

By MICHAEL R. SISAK - Associated Press

A federal appeals court have given new life to President Donald Trump’s bid to erase his hush money conviction. A three-judge panel on Thursday ordered a lower court to reconsider its decision to keep the Trump case in state court instead of moving it to federal court. The judges ruled that U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein erred by failing to consider “important issues relevant” to Trump’s request to move the New York case to federal court, where he can seek to have it thrown out on presidential immunity grounds. But the judges said they “express no view” on how Hellerstein should rule.

Climate change boosted Hurricane Melissa’s destructive winds and rain, analysis finds

November 6, 2025

By ISABELLA O'MALLEY - Associated Press

An analysis from World Weather Attribution reports human-caused climate change intensified the winds and rainfall unleashed by Hurricane Melissa in the Caribbean. Melissa, one of the strongest to hit the Atlantic, caused destruction in Jamaica, Haiti, Dominican Republic and Cuba. Dozens of fatalities have been recorded, homes and public infrastructure were damaged and crops were ruined. The analysis reports climate change increased Melissa’s wind speeds by 7% and made the rainfall 16% more intense. Planet-warming gases released by humans, such as carbon dioxide, cause the atmosphere to hold more water vapor and spike ocean temperatures. Warmer oceans give hurricanes fuel to unleash more rain and strengthen quickly.

By ISABEL DEBRE and MAURICIO SAVARESE - Associated Press

World leaders are gathering in a coastal city in the Brazilian Amazon for the U.N.’s annual climate summit.

But the heads of the world’s three biggest polluters — China, the United States and India — will be notably absent from the preliminary leaders’ gathering that kicks off Thursday.

Trump is hosting Central Asian leaders as US seeks to get around China on rare earth metals

November 6, 2025

By AAMER MADHANI - Associated Press

President Donald Trump is set to host leaders of five Central Asian countries for White House talks. Thursday’s summit and dinner with the leaders of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan come as he intensifies the hunt for alternatives to China for rare earth metals needed for high-tech devices, including smartphones and electric vehicles. Beijing expanded export restrictions over vital rare earth elements and magnets early last month before announcing it would delay the restrictions for a year. That came after Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping held talks last week. Central Asia holds deep reserves of rare earth minerals, but it needs investment to develop the resources.

Powerful Democratic former speaker Nancy Pelosi won’t seek reelection to the U.S. House. Pelosi’s announcement Thursday brings to a close her storied career as not only the first woman in the speaker’s office but arguably the most powerful in American politics.

It also comes as a seasoned generation of political leaders is stepping aside. Pelosi was an architect of the Affordable Care Act and other landmark policies. She had already relinquished her leadership position three years ago, becoming speaker emerita.

By JIM GOMEZ - Associated Press

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has declared a state of emergency after Typhoon Kalmaegi left at least 114 people dead and more than 100 missing in central provinces. Authorities in Vietnam, meanwhile, braced Thursday as Kalmaegi approached.

Japan deploys the military to counter a surge in bear attacks

November 5, 2025

By MARI YAMAGUCHI - Associated Press

Japan has deployed troops to help contain a surge of bear attacks that have terrorized residents in the northern prefecture of Akita. Bears have been seen near schools, train stations and homes. Over 100 people have been injured and at least 12 killed in bear attacks across Japan since April. The troops will set traps and assist local hunters but won’t use firearms. Akita has been the worst hit, with over 50 attacks since May. Experts say Japan’s aging and declining population in rural areas contributes to the problem, as bears venture closer to residential areas in search of food.

FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford says the agency is not going to wait for a problem to act, saying the shutdown is causing staffing pressures and “we can’t ignore it.” Bedford and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy say they will meet later Wednesday with airline leaders to figure out how to safely implement the reduction.
