Universities Win Order Voiding Agency's 15% Research Cost Cap

Brown and Cornell universities, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and several other US schools won a federal court order striking down a National Science Foundation cap on indirect cost rates for government-funded research. Judge Indira Talwani struck down the cap on Friday, finding it 'arbitrary, capricious and contrary to the law,' granting summary judgment to the suing schools plus the Association of American Universities, and denying that relief to the government.

Judge rules Trump administration can't require states to help on immigration to get transport money

BOSTON -- A federal judge on Thursday blocked the Trump administration from withholding billions of dollars in transportation funds from states that don't agree to participate in some immigration enforcement actions. Twenty states sued after they said Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy threatened to cut off funding to states that refused to comply with President Donald Trump's immigration agenda. U.S. District Judge John McConnell Jr. barred federal transportation officials from carrying out that threat before the lawsuit is fully resolved. 'The Court finds that the States have demonstrated they will face irreparable and continuing harm if forced to agree to Defendants' unlawful and unconstitutional immigration conditions imposed in order to receive federal transportation grant funds,' wrote McConnell, the chief judge for the federal district of Rhode island. 'The States face losing billions of dollars in federal funding, are being put in a position of relinquishing their sovereign right to decide how to use their own police officers, are at risk of losing the trust built between local law enforcement and immigrant communities, and will have to scale back, reconsider, or cancel ongoing transportation projects.' On April 24, states received letters from the Department of Transportation stating that they must cooperate on immigration efforts or risk losing the congressionally appropriated funds. No funding was immediately withheld, but some of the states feared the move was imminent. Attorneys general from California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington, Wisconsin and Vermont filed the lawsuit in May, saying the new so-called 'Duffy Directive' put them in an impossible position. 'The States can either attempt to comply with an unlawful and unconstitutional condition that would surrender their sovereign control over their own law enforcement officers and reduce immigrants' willingness to report crimes and participate in public health programs — or they can forfeit tens of billions of dollars of funds they rely on regularly to support the roads, highways, railways, airways, ferries, and bridges that connect their communities and homes,' the attorneys general wrote in court documents. But acting Rhode Island U.S. Attorney Sara Miron Bloom told the judge that Congress has given the Department of Transportation the legal right to set conditions for the grant money it administers to states, and that requiring compliance and cooperation with federal law enforcement is a reasonable exercise of that discretion. Allowing the federal government to withhold the funds while the lawsuit moves forward doesn't cause any lasting harm, Bloom wrote in court documents, because that money can always be disbursed later if needed.

Pitti Uomo: Fashion Expert Derek Guy on How Menswear Has Loosened Up

Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. The ubiquity of slim-cut men's tailoring appears to be dwindling, as the styles showcased at June's Pitti Immagine Uomo 108 trade fair in Florence, Italy—and worn by the well-dressed denizens of fashion who flocked there—suggested. "The major change, and I think the one that's obvious, is that men's tailoring and clothing in general is loosening up again," fashion blogger Derek Guy—the internet's "menswear guy"—told Newsweek. "So, after 20 years of slim-fit silhouettes, things are starting to loosen up." Models attend The Hilfiger Social Club during Pitti Immagine Uomo 108 at Palazzo Portinari Salviati on June 17, 2025 in Larciano, Firenze, Italy.

D'Alessandro/Getty "If you go back 15 years ago, among the men who wore ready-to-wear suits, their tailoring was often very trim, keeping with the time," Guy continued. "And slouch shirt tailoring, extended shoulders, wider trousers, so and so forth." But just because these looser styles are in vogue, it's not a fashion requisite. The best way to express yourself through clothing, as Guy put it, is to focus on your personal aesthetic preferences and try to emulate that. "I think of clothing as social language. So, to me, just because the trend is shifting toward looser silhouettes doesn't necessarily mean you have to," Guy said. "Part of this is just about building your visual vocabulary and going through cultural history and understanding how people create certain looks—to understand how you can use that visual language today."
