The ruling from U.S. District Judge Joseph N. Laplante in New Hampshire comes after two similar rulings by judges in Seattle and Maryland last week. Laplante, who was nominated by Republican President George W. Bush, said he wasn’t persuaded by the Trump administration’s defense of the executive order. He said he would issue a longer preliminary injunction later explaining his reasoning. A lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union contends that Trump’s order…

President Donald Trump says he has directed the Treasury Department to stop minting new pennies, citing the rising cost of producing the one-cent coin. “For far too long the United States has minted pennies which literally cost us more than 2 cents.

Ecuador will choose its next president in a runoff election in April between conservative incumbent Daniel Noboa and leftist lawyer Luisa González.

The run-off election set for April 13 will be a repeat of the October 2023 snap election that earned Noboa a 16-month presidency. Noboa and González are now vying for a full four-year term, promising voters to reduce the widespread criminal activity that upended…

Europe’s Euclid space telescope has detected a rare halo of bright light around a nearby galaxy, astronomers reported Monday. The halo, known as an Einstein ring, encircles a galaxy 590 million light-years away, considered close by cosmic standards. A light-year is 5.8 trillion miles. Astronomers have known about this galaxy for more than a century and so were surprised when Euclid revealed the bright glowing ring, reported in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics. An Einstein ring is light from a much more distant galaxy that bends in such a way as to perfectly encircle a closer object, in this case…

Who is going to start at quarterback for the New York Giants in 2025? It’s a fair question and a rather mundane one at that, but it’s also one many struggle to answer. That’s why when NJ Advance Media asked 17 experts, they got roughly 10 different answers. While most stayed on point, former Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy veered a bit off-topic. He took the opportunity to throw shade at Giants general manager Joe Schoen instead. “Shoot, I don’t know, you’ve got to ask the Giants that. Though I don’t know if their GM makes the best…
