Haiti’s spiral into chaos in recent years has coincided with a harsh crackdown by its Dominican neighbor. “No foreigner who wants to stay here in the Dominican Republic should do so illegally, and that's what (the government) has said," she said. While Dominican voters want continued a government crackdown on migrants, many of the hundreds of thousands of Haitians in the Dominican Republic live in fear. The ongoing violence has forced many to flee their homes and seek refuge in places like the Dominican Republic and the United States. The Dominican government's policies have stirred concerns among both newly arrived migrants and Haitians that have long called the Dominican Republic home.

A new analysis of studies published on zinc and cold viruses concludes that there isn’t enough evidence to say whether over-the-counter zinc treatments have any effect on preventing the common cold. That’s a cornerstone of good science.”The age of zinc cold products dawned in 1996, when researchers from the Cleveland Clinic Foundation convinced 100 clinic employees to volunteer as research subjects within 24 hours of developing a cold. Scientists aren’t exactly sure how the mineral works to alleviate cold symptoms. Total U.S. sales of zinc products, such as Zicam and Cold-Eeze, were $340 million in 2023, said Hannah Esper, managing editor of the trade publication Nutrition Business Journal. For this review, the Cochrane team looked at 34 studies conducted across 13 countries that examined zinc products and the treatment or prevention of the common cold.

The House Judiciary Committee advanced a resolution to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress over the Justice Department’s failure to produce the subpoenaed audio recording of President Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur. The House Judiciary Committee considered a resolution to hold the attorney general in contempt during a markup session Thursday. The move comes after the White House asserted executive privilege over the audio and video recordings related to Hur's interviews with the president as part of his classified records investigation. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that "the attorney general made it clear that law enforcement files like these need to be protected." "And so the president made his determination at the request of the attorney general," she said.

Businessman and Republican U.S. Senate candidate, Eric Hovde speaks Tuesday April 2, 2024, at a former President Donald Trump rally in Green Bay, Wis. (AP Photo/Mike Roemer, File)Los Angeles Times columnist Mark Z. Barabak labeled U.S. Senate hopeful Eric Hovde “Wisconsin’s California candidate” in a column published Thursday. Not the headline Eric Hovde is looking for! His undeniable ties to the West Coast — where Hovde owns a $7 million mansion in Laguna Beach, Calif. with private yacht access in Laguna Beach and his Sunwest Bank company in Utah — have proven to be liabilities. Recent polling has seen Baldwin take a significant lead over Hovde, with one recent survey from Quinnipiac University suggesting a 12-point advantage. This may be due to past recordings of Hovde coming to light, where he criticized young people, women, the alcohol industry, overweight people and farmers.

The sports streaming service joint venture from Fox Corp., the Walt Disney Co., and Warner Bros. Venu Sports will be the moniker for the direct-to-consumer service set to be launched in the fall, the partners announced Thursday. The three media companies will have equal ownership shares in the new service, which will carry the suite of ESPN channels, ABC, Fox and its cable sports channels, and Warner Bros. The offering will give fans access to games from the NFL, NHL, NBA, Major League Baseball and other sports the partners carry on their linear TV channels. Venu is also an effort by traditional media companies to consolidate forces against deep-pocketed tech companies that are spending heavily to offer live sports on their streaming services.

Joe Biden’s 2020 election can be broadly attributed to two overlapping factors: Americans generally like him and generally disliked Donald Trump. But the latter factor was stronger. Asked why they planned to vote the way they did, a large chunk of Biden supporters consistently indicated in the months before that election that they planned to back him because they wanted to kick Trump out of the White House.
