By, from NPR news in Washington, I'm Dan Rumran.
A federal judge has issued a new order that blocks the U.S. Postal Services Plan for
“carrying out President Trump's order, this to restrict mail-in voting for the mid-term”
election. His NPR's Hans Hiller Wang reports the ruling sets up another possible Supreme Court review of Trump's order. U.S. is a strategic judge and dear to Bonnie embossed and has issued a temporary restraining order that blocks the U.S. Postal Services' new mail-in ballot requirements for states
for 14 days. The Postal Services Plan involves delivering mail-in ballots only to people on voter list that the states would have to turn over to the mailing agency. Just to Bonnie found that plan is likely illegal because U.S. P.S. has no authority to control voting by mail.
We should note U.S. P.S. is financial support of NPR.
To Bonnie is set to decide whether to issue a longer-lasting blog after hearing X Thursday.
This ruling helps set the stage for another review of Trump's order at the Supreme Court. A little time left for the order to be fully carried out, mail-in voting for the mid-term starts next week. On to the long NPR news.
“A jury is now in deliberating whether to find Lindsay Clark guilty of murdering her three”
children in 2023. Her attorney is seeking what's known as the insanity defense because of Clancy's postpartum mental health issues. From Member Station W.B.U.R. Deborah Becker reports on the closing arguments in the case. Both sides agree Lindsay Clancy was a devoted mother who was struggling.
Defense attorney Kevin Reddington says Clancy was over-medicated and spiraled into postpartum psychosis.
"To the damn medicine and the lousy medical care that she got."
But prosecutor Jennifer Spragues says Clancy knew what she was doing and planned to kill her children. "She left them, discarded on the basement floor, like broken toys, because she was some clean the key." Because her mental state made her not criminally responsible.
For NPR news, I'm Deborah Becker in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The FDA has approved new versions of the two most commonly used COVID-19 vaccines. NPR's Rob Stein reports.
“The FDA approved updated versions of the COVID vaccines made by Moderna, Pfizer-Bionne-Tect,”
and Novavax. The vaccines are designed to protect people against the most common sub-variant known as XFG. The shots were approved for anyone ages 65 and older, and for children and young adults with at least one health problem that puts them at risk for serious complications from the virus. Nevertheless, the American Academy of Pediatrics still recommends very young children.
Those 6 to 24 months continue getting vaccinated every year. The new vaccines should start to become available within days, Rob Stein and PR news. It was a positive day on Wall Street Thursday. The Dow added 105 points to the S&P 55, the NASDAQ gained 411. This is NPR news.
New research in the journal's science sheds light on the biology behind profound autism. NPR's ping-long report offers hope for new treatments eventually. Hundreds of different genes are implicated. But researchers at UC San Francisco have found that many of these high-risk genes, code for proteins that tend to interact on a limited number of processes.
They've published a map of more than 1,800 protein interactions associated with these genes, offering insights on how they affect brain development, and new targets for treatments. Allison Singer is president of the Autism Science Foundation. She has a child with severe cognitive impairment. For families of people with profound autism, like mine, this is the kind of scientific
advance that we have been waiting for and praying for. Singer says there's much more to be done to develop treatments, but this paper makes the path more clear. Ping-long and PR news. A national transportation safety board report says ongoing White House construction contributed
to radio problems that kept air traffic controllers from hearing calls, alerting them that President Trump's Marine One helicopter was about to be airborne. This on August 4th, instead controllers cleared a jet from nearby Reagan National Airport, just as the helicopter lifted off. Because of the ongoing work, Trump's helicopter took off from a temporary location.
As a result, the helicopter came within 8/10 of a mile later and about 700 feet vertically of the passenger jet, a mid-air collision at Reagan National killed 67 people a year and a half ago. This is NPR. Support for NPS.
