WorkHouse Approves $95 Billion Aid Bill for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan
  It also contained a measure to help pave the way to selling off frozen Russian sovereign assets to help fund the Ukrainian war effort, and a new round of sanctions on Iran. The Senate is expected to pass the legislation as early as Tuesday and send it to President Biden’s desk, capping its tortured journey through Congress. Work

WorkOpinion | Say Hello to Your Addiction Risk Score -- Courtesy of the Tech Industry
 Before Dr. Bobby Mukkamala — an ear, nose, and throat specialist in Michigan — prescribed post-surgical opioids recently, he checked state records of his patient’s existing controlled substance prescriptions, as legally required. A score generated by a proprietary algorithm appeared on his screen. Known as NarxCare — and now used by most state prescription monitoring databases, major hospitals and pharmacy chains — the algorithm indicated his patient had an elevated risk of developing an addiction to opioid painkillers. WorkU.S. Military Aid for Ukraine Could Soon Flow Again
 U.S. officials have not explicitly said which weapons the United States will send to Kyiv as part of the package, but Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary, told reporters on Thursday that more air-defense and artillery ammunition would probably be included.

WorkLasers, Inflatable Dancers and the Fight to Fend Off Avian Flu
 Under federal policy, one infected bird can necessitate the culling or elimination of an entire flock, and then disposing of the carcasses through composting, burial, incineration or rendering. The regulation has resulted in 90 million dead birds and more than 1,100 affected flocks across the country since February 2022, when the strain, the most lethal yet in the United States, was first detected.

WorkWhy the U.S. Voted to Force TikTok to Be Sold or Banned
 In March 2024, the House Energy and Commerce Committee advanced a bill calling for TikTok to cut ties with its parent company or face a ban in the United States. The bill, endorsed by the White House, passed in March, but the Senate took no action. Bundling a version of that measure with the aid package was meant to force the Senate’s hand. WorkIsrael?s Strike on Iran Highlights Its Ability to Evade Tehran?s Air Defenses
 That attack was Iran’s first-ever direct assault on Israeli soil, thrusting the countries’ clandestine warfare — long fought by land, air, sea and cyberspace — into open view. The Israeli government vowed to respond, even as world leaders and Western allies, including the United States, rushed to de-escalate the situation, urging Israel not to respond in a way that could lead to a regional war.

WorkWorkTrump Rally, a Return to the Campaign Trail, Is Called Off Because of Storms
 For much of the last week, Mr. Trump’s public comments had been limited to social media posts and remarks to reporters outside the courtroom. His only campaign stop was at a bodega in New York City, in a state he overwhelmingly lost in the last two elections and that is not expected to be in play in November.

WorkUkraine Aid Divides Republicans, After Trump Tones Down His Resistance
 Though he has in recent days stayed quiet, his most vociferous allies in the House, such as Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and Matt Gaetz of Florida, had led efforts to block the aid. Another pro-Trump firebrand, Representative Lauren Boebert of Colorado, jeered Democrats during the vote as they waived Ukrainian flags on the House floor. WorkJohnson, Like Pence, Draws Praise for Defying His Party and Doing His Job
 Mr. Johnson and Mr. Pence, both mild-mannered, extremely conservative evangelical Christians who have put their faith at the center of their politics, occupy a similar space in their party. They have both gone through contortions to accommodate Mr. Trump and the forces he unleashed in their party, which in turn have ultimately come after them. Mr. Pence spent four years dutifully serving the former president and defending all of his words and actions. Mr. Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, played a lead role in trying to overturn the election results on Mr. Trump’s behalf.

WorkDavid H. Pryor, Arkansas Senator and Clinton Ally, Dies at 89
 Attempting comebacks three times, Mr. Faubus lost Democratic primaries to Mr. Bumpers in 1970, Mr. Pryor in 1974 and Mr. Clinton in 1986. In heavily Democratic Arkansas, each man crushed his Republican opponent in the general election. Their governorships became springboards to national prominence — for Mr. Bumpers and Mr. Pryor in the Senate, and for Mr. Clinton in the White House for two terms. WorkDonald Trump?s rally in North Carolina is called off for weather.
 Mr. Biden has also escalated efforts to confront another presidential rival, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who secured a spot this week on the general election ballot in Michigan, ensuring that he could pull voters from both candidates in at least one crucial battleground state. The Biden campaign featured endorsements from a group of Mr. Kennedy’s relatives this week, highlighting the fact that Mr. Kennedy’s candidacy has estranged him from much of his famous political family.

WorkCNN?s Coverage of Man Who Set Himself on Fire Shows Challenges of Live News
 “An active shooter, an active shooter is in the park outside the court,’’ she shouted excitedly, and incorrectly, before quickly realizing what she was witnessing: “We have a man, he has set fire to himself, a man has emblazoned himself outside of the courthouse just now. Our cameras are turning right now.” WorkCan the W.N.B.A. Make Money?
 Indeed, many argue that the W.N.B.A. simply needs more time: The N.B.A. had a 50-year head start, and stars like Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan helped lift it up in the 1980s and ’90s. WorkWorkSome Older Women Need Extra Breast Scans. Why Won?t Medicare Pay?
 Lenox Hill Radiology in New York City has started warning patients that if they are insured by Medicare, they may be on the hook for up to $450 if they receive a breast ultrasound, even if breast tissue is known to be dense and the extra scan is performed on the same day as a screening mammogram. WorkWorkWorkA Ragtag Resistance Sees the Tide Turning in a Forgotten War
 Much of the fighting’s rhythm seems syncopated to that of another century: trenches dug into unrelenting mud, the slide of flip-flops down monsoon-soaked hills, the clatter of homemade AK-style assault rifles in dusty towns. The junta’s multiple rocket launchers and fighter jets may bring a modern touch to the killing, as does the hovering of the resistance’s battle drones. But this conflict, with its hand-to-hand combat and profusion of land mines, feels like a throwback to the kind of civil war that was documented in black and white. WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkThe El Ni

 This week, the University of Southern California faced protests by hundreds of students after the university cancelled the valedictorian speech of Muslim student Asna Tabassum, who had posted on social media in support of Palestine.
