It must not be abandoned now.”The New York Times challenged the policy late last year, arguing it violates its First Amendment and due process rights. The parts of the policy Friedman struck down required beat reporters to sign a pledge not to obtain or use unauthorized material. Scores of news organizations, including the Times and CNN, declined to agree, resulting in reporters being denied press badges that give them access to the Pentagon. Friedman ordered officials to reinstate the press badges of seven national security reporters at the Times who lost access to the Pentagon last year. “The Court recognizes that national security must be protected, the security of our troops must be protected, and war plans must be protected,” Friedman wrote.

President Donald Trump speaks with reporters before departing on Marine One from the South Lawn of the White House, Friday, March 20, 2026, in Washington, as Secretary of State Marco Rubio listens. Two sources familiar with the matter said that Johnson made a strong case to the White House to support Hurd, who represents a competitive district that Trump won by about 10 points in 2024. Calling on Hurd to “correct his naive voting record and support President Trump,” she vowed to run again in 2028 if indeed Hurd wins this fall and fails to do so. After losing Trump’s endorsement, Hurd told CNN’s Manu Raju manufacturers and agricultural producers in his district were “absolutely” hurting from tariffs, and their concerns weighed on his vote. It’s the people back in Colorado’s 3rd Congressional District,” Hurd said at the time.

Using dental enamel protein analysis, researchers identified the likely biological sex of the ascetic as female, challenging assumptions about early Christian practices. This find reveals that women, not just men, engaged in extreme asceticism, reshaping our understanding of early Christian devotional traditions. In the 21st century, this fascination with extreme asceticism re-emerged in the public consciousness through the character of Silas, the self-flagellating monk in the thriller novel The Da Vinci Code. “In animaldom, Kotli and others developed a methodology to sex ancient remains based on a protein in dental enamel, amelogenin, which differs slightly between males and females,” Haaretz summarizes. But the presence of a Y-linked amelogenin means the tooth in question was in the mouth of a biological male.

AdvertisementThe market’s losses deepened after oil prices erased an early dip and accelerated in the afternoon. Worries have gotten so high that traders have canceled nearly all their bets that the Federal Reserve could cut interest rates this year, according to data from CME Group. And investors now see little room for central banks worldwide to cut interest rates to help their economies. Besides the Federal Reserve, central banks in Europe, Japan and the United Kingdom also held their interest rates steady this past week. Stocks of smaller companies, which can feel the pinch of higher interest rates more than their bigger rivals, led the way lower.

I just started crying,” Rosa said of learning the charges would be dropped. The Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office announced Wednesday it would not retry Rosa, 64, for the 1985 killing of an 18-year-old nurse’s aide, Gwendolyn Taylor, in Dorchester. Despite that ruling, prosecutors had planned to retry Rosa, with a new trial scheduled for May. In a court filing this week, however, the district attorney’s office said it was uncertain it could prove the charges beyond a reasonable doubt, leading to the decision to drop the case. “Even though the district attorney’s office does not want to admit that they prosecuted an innocent man … those are things that happened,” Natarajan said.

Oddly enough, Hansen Shapiro’s conversation with Tofel garnered more attention than the report itself. (We interviewed Press Forward executive director Dale Anglin on our podcast last month.) A couple of Hansen Shapiro’s observations struck me as being especially pointed and on target. Equity and infrastructureAnother section of Hansen Shapiro’s report that resonates concerns diversity and equity. Since I’ve read the entire report, I can attest that these do a pretty good job of encapsulating Hansen Shapiro’s major findings.

More research is starting to show that women can benefit from lifting weights, perhaps even more than men. That’s because they are more susceptible to bone density and muscle loss as they age. But experts say gyms need to make a few changes to get more women into the weight room. Michelle Segar is a University of Michigan behavioral scientist who studies exercise habits. She says that feeling out of place and not knowing where to begin are barriers for some women.
