“Following negotiations in Switzerland, Vance claimed progress on multiple fronts from ensuring”
the Strait of Hormuz remains open to Iran agreeing to allow UN nuclear inspectors to return to the country. If you're as frank, go where it is. Now, potential for this happening is a big deal, I mean, one of the challenges has been, no one or at least no one in the international community has had, you know, basically a good grasp of Iran's nuclear activity. Vance says they're having active conversations with inspectors from the UN's international atomic energy agency.
What's particularly interesting is that the same UN inspectors were a big part of President Obama's nuclear deal with Iran,
the one that Trump ended and continues to criticize as weak.
Iran's foreign ministry says Iran has made no new nuclear commitments to Minnesota now, where a judge has tossed out multiple grand jury's subpoena's targeting state and local leaders following the Trump administration's immigration crackdown from Minnesota Public Radio Peter Cox reports.
“The DOJ issued the subpoenas earlier this year seeking records from Minnesota Governor Tim walls, other state officials and the mayors of Minneapolis and St. Paul.”

Two groups stand out. One is funded by investors in OpenAI. It warns that too much regulation will stifle innovation. Another set of superpacks is funded in part by rival anthropic, which is called for more AI regulation. In some races, the groups are jumping in on opposite sides, like in New York's 12th congressional district where they've collectively spent more than $15 million supporting and opposing state-assemblyman Alex Boris. All in a bid to shape how future regulations might be written, Shannon Bond and Pernies.

Read the fine print on your policy. While many plans don't cover these drugs for obesity alone, they may cover them for obstructive sleep acne or to reduce the risk of heart attacks or strokes.

Be prepared to appeal. Dr. Caleb Alexander is a professor of epidemiology in medicine at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
