A court battle is set to resume Friday over the Trump administration’s drastic cuts in medical research funding that many scientists say will endanger patients and delay new lifesaving discoveries. A federal judge in Massachusetts temporarily blocked the cuts from taking effect earlier this month in response to separate lawsuits filed by a group of 22 states plus organizations representing universities, hospitals and research institutions nationwide. The new National Institutes of Health policy would strip research groups of hundreds of millions of dollars to cover so-called indirect expenses of studying Alzheimer’s, cancer, heart disease and a host of other illnesses…

Hundreds of vacant lots in Chicago, many in South and West side neighborhoods such as Englewood and North Lawndale, have been put on the market in the largest such land sale the city has seen in recent years. The lots, some of which were in poor condition, have been listed for sale as part of bankruptcy proceedings involving a pair of property owners who amassed $15 million in unpaid fines on the land parcels, and who city lawyers have deemed Chicago’s “worst landowner.” Community advocates say it’s a chance to get the properties into the hands of fresh owners who…
Republican senators pushed a $340 billion budget framework to passage early Friday, chugging through an all-night session and Democratic opposition in a step toward unleashing money the Trump administration says it needs for mass deportations and border security that top their agenda. The hours-long “vote-a-rama” rambled along in a dreaded but crucial part of the budget process, as senators considered one amendment after another, largely from Democrats trying to halt it. But Republicans used their majority power to muscle the package to approval on a largely party-line vote, 52-48, with all Democrats and one GOP senator opposing it. “What we’re…
U.K. Foreign Secretary David Lammy said he saw no appetite for peace from Russia in Ukraine after listening to a speech by Russia’s top diplomat at a tense Group of 20 meeting in South Africa on Thursday. Lammy was speaking to reporters after Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov addressed other senior diplomats in a closed-door session at the G20 foreign ministers meeting in Johannesburg. “I have to say when I listened to what the Russians and what Lavrov have just said in the chamber this afternoon, I don’t see an appetite to really get to that peace,” Lammy said.

When they played “O Canada” for the second time, there were no American fans left in the arena to boo. Instead, the Canadian team stood at the blue line, arm in arm, player and coach, wearing their championship hats while the maple leaf flag was lowered behind the 4 Nations Face-Off trophy and the national anthem reverberated across the Americans’ home ice. The fans who remained, many of them in their red Team Canada jerseys, sang along. Connor McDavid scored at 8:18 of overtime to give Canada a 3-2 victory over the United States on Thursday night as the North…
Robin Moore initially had one purpose: learn more about the life of her grandfather Reginald Moore. She remembered him as a very loving and hardworking person, but details surrounding his early life remained a family mystery — one that she was determined to uncover. She never expected that mission to take her to a grassy field in a remote part of Canada, where several of her ancestors are buried. Since 2018, Moore — a native of Park Manor on Chicago’s South Side — has spent much of her free time combing through archival records and building a family tree to…
The budget resolution from Republicans was on the agenda in the Senate, but the late-night debate encompassed so much more.

On Valentine’s Day, the Department of Education sent a “Dear Colleague” letter to schools across the country giving them two weeks to stop taking race into consideration for admissions, hiring, promotion, compensation, financial aid, scholarships, prizes, administrative support, discipline, housing, graduation ceremonies “and all other aspects of student, academic and campus life.” Institutions — preschool, K-12 and colleges and universities — that fail to comply face the loss of federal funding. “In recent years,” the letter states, “American educational institutions have discriminated against students on the basis of race, including white and Asian students, many of whom come from disadvantaged…
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says a body that Hamas militants released during the handover of remains of Israeli hostages is that of a woman from Gaza instead of that of Shiri Bibas, the mother of two young boys whose bodies were returned on Thursday.
