A federal bankruptcy court has rejected a deal that would have cleared the way for a second attempt to auction off Infowars conspiracist Alex Jones' media company.

The ruling by a U.S. bankruptcy judge in Houston further complicates how and when Jones' bankruptcy case will be resolved and when the families he defamed will be paid.

The influx of phone calls — which some in the Senate say are at unprecedented volumes — come as Trump and ally Elon Musk are working to shrink the federal government during the president's first weeks in office. They are shuttering agencies, temporarily freezing funding and pushing workers to resign, all while staffers with Musk's so-called Department of Government Efficiency infiltrate departments in a stated effort to root out fraud and abuse.

Callers are getting busy signals and voicemail inboxes are full at many U.S. Senate offices as people try to reach out and voice their opinions on President Donald Trump's Cabinet picks, executive orders and moves to dismantle various federal programs.

Chickens raised for meat — known as "broilers" — live on different farms than those that produce eggs. And while broilers are not immune from avian flu, they haven't been hit nearly as hard as their egg-laying cousins.

There is one economic riddle ahead of Super Bowl Sunday: The egg market has been hit hard by avian flu, but wings are abundant and relatively affordable this year. So what gives?

President Trump's threats to impose new tariffs on European goods has caused Americans to suddenly stockpile their favorite Italian wines — especially the sparkling wine, Prosecco.

President Trump's threats to impose new tariffs on European goods has led Americans to suddenly stockpile their favorite Italian wines, especially sparkling prosecco.

A new federal law aims to better connect incarcerated children and young adults who are eligible for Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program to services before their release. The goal is to help prevent them from developing a health crisis or reoffending as they work to reestablish themselves.

It's common for young people leaving jails and prisons to end up back behind bars, often after lapses related to untreated mental illness or substance abuse. A new law will help them get Medicaid.

The Trump administration's efforts to exert more control over science at the National Science Foundation go beyond DEI. On Tuesday, staff were informed of plans to cut the agency's headcount of about 1,700 by 25% to 50% over the next two months, according to NPR's NSF sources. Staff were also informed that President Trump's first budget request could slash the agency's budget from $9 billion to $3 billion.

If the Trump administration continues targeting DEI in science and seeking to slash funding, American science will look fundamentally different.

The term "gender ideology" existed well before Trump started using it. According to Factbase, which archives Trump's public appearances, he first said the phrase publicly in 2022. Transgender and nonbinary people and their allies oppose the term "gender ideology," as it implies a belief system rather than an identity.

President Trump signed a series of executive actions that would limit transgender and nonbinary people's rights by focusing on "gender ideology." But the term is loaded, without a universal definition.

The city of Springfield is home to thousands of legal Haitian immigrants. The mayor stated that the lawsuit "sends a clear message that hate, intimidation, and violence, have no place in our community.”
