In the coming hours, the U.S. men's soccer match against Belgium may become an unexpected
“test of diplomacy at the FIFA World Cup.”
The U.S. is leading goal score was initially suspended, then cleared to be on the field over Belgium's objections. It happened after President Trump talked to the President of FIFA. And PR's Franco-ordonia's reports Trump confirmed he asked for a review of the player's red card call.
President Trump said he didn't even know what a red card was before the U.S. striker, Falor and Baligan received one. Which would have caused Balogan to be suspended for an elimination game against Belgium. When I found out, I said, "You've got to be kidding." This guy just heads up, "Okay, your best player is not going to play next week, good."
In the next game, I said, "Wow, that's a lot of power, that's terrible." Trump downplayed his intervention, but the decision to suspend the red card and allow Baligan to play has triggered even greater controversy over FIFA's disciplinary actions and raise more questions about political influence, considering Trump's close relationship with the FIFA President, Franco-ordonia's NPR News, the White House.
The campaign for the Democratic candidate for Senate and Maine Grand Platner is denying allegations of sexual assault that were reported by Politico. Story alleges that five years ago, Platner forced a woman he was dating to have sex with them despite her repeated objections. NPR has not independently verified the allegations.
A new federal lawsuit argues that a Department of Homeland Security violated the first amendment rights of a New York man, more from NPR's Jude Jaffee Block. The foundation for individual rights and expression or fire filed the lawsuit on behalf of David Streever of Rochester, New York.
Back in January, Streever wrote a critical email to Todd Lyons, the former acting director
of ICE. Five months later, federal agents with Homeland Security Investigations showed up at Streever's door and later at his airport hotel. They left a warning notice that said his email message may have been in the legal threat. The lawsuit argues Streever's message was protected by the first amendment and DHS' actions violated his rights.
DHS said in a statement that ICE investigates all credible threats towards its employees and officers and does not comment on ongoing investigations. Jude Jaffee Block and Pair News New Jersey officials say at least 19 people died from heat-related problems during last week's nationwide heat wave, and Piers Alejandro Burrunda reports.
State Health Commissioner, Dr. Rainard Washington, says many of those who died were found in their homes without air conditioning. Others were outside or in parked cars. Washington says the heat hit many different kinds of people.
“It's important to note that the age ranges for these individuals were not just the elderly,”
they were folks who were younger adults. Heat kills more people every year in the U.S. than any other kind of weather disaster. And it's likely that even more people died last week from heat. That's NPR, Alejandro Burrunda reporting. It's NPR news.
As some people deal with the physical health impacts of the intense heat wave that covered much of the United States over the weekend, studies show that high temperatures also pose health risks to people with pre-existing mental health conditions. The heat can exacerbate mental health symptoms and some psychiatric medicines become less effective in high temperatures.
Experts recommend talking with their treatment team to decide how best to address potential issues and taking the right precautions such as staying indoors and hydrated. The Trump administration could soon make popular peptide therapies more available. The injectables are promoted for wellness and longevity, but Biden-era restrictions have largely kept them off the market.
Later this month, an FDA panel will make recommendations on whether to change that. NPRs will stone reports. These peptides are not FDA-approved and have not been studied in large rigorous trials with humans. They're often touted for injury recovery, muscle growth, metabolism, and more.
But compounding pharmacies in the U.S. haven't been legally allowed to offer them. Sonorian is CEO of Empower Pharmacy, one of the peptide makers hoping the FDA will open up the market again.
“"I think the FDA would much rather see these medications, a source from regulated entities”
instead of patients being forced to go to unregulated sources." The FDA's own scientists have come out against doing this because of a lack of evidence. A committee charged with making recommendations on some of the most popular peptides will meet later this month, Will Stone and PR News. The Dow's closed up 135 points at 53,000 35.
