They say that tracking informants over time will be tough and that revealing too much about them will jeopardize other investigations they're helping with.

The man in the next cell over suggested that they pray together. He said he could help with Lisker's case and asked for a copy of the police report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I rolled it up and shoved it through that little hole in the wall and let him look at it over dinner,\" Lisker says. \"And then we're going to talk later and he's going to tell me what he thinks, how to help me. ... How to help himself.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The man, it turns out, was working for law enforcement. For a reduction in his sentence, he said Lisker had confessed to him and his story matched the case file.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He had taken notes of all the stuff that was in there,\" Lisker says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, inmates still trade information for rewards -– sometimes big ones.

That could be a sideline business in prison,\" Jones-Sawyer says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill, AB 359, requires better tracking and pretrial disclosure of who says what in jail.

I need to remember every word that is spoken,\" he said of the numerous memos he wrote immediately after his encounters with the president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\"Shifting explanations\" for Comey's firing \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The former FBI director also harshly pushed back on Trump's changing explanations for why he had been let go, saying he was \"confused\" and \"increasingly concerned\" about the \"shifting explanations\" Trump gave. The president initially pointed to Comey's handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation as the impetus, but later conceded it was because of his handling of the Russia investigation and claimed Comey was overseeing a demoralized FBI in disarray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"8FOfNiKdaQpgGR2c9oqyqcawSaOKhIPU\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So it confused me when I saw on television the president saying he actually fired me because of the Russia investigation and learned again from the media that he was telling, privately, other parties that my firing had relieved 'great pressure' on the Russia investigation,\" Comey said, referring to reporting on Trump's conversation with Russian officials in the Oval Office the day after the dismissal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The administration then chose to defame me, and more importantly the FBI,\" Comey said, by claiming the agency was \"poorly led.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"GpuYsOu3i6Sn9U3TvrSrxwaS0vMqWqex\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Those were lies, plain and simple,\" Comey bluntly told the committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White House Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Sanders later pushed back on Comey's assertions, telling reporters that \"I can definitely say the president is not a liar and I think it's frankly insulting\" that the question was asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Awkward \"loyalty\" dinners and Oval Office pressure\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey's highly anticipated testimony followed the release by the committee of his written statement on Wednesday, which ticked off in rich detail the extent to which Trump pressed him about the Russia investigation. Comey wrote that Trump did ask him for a \"loyalty\" pledge during a one-on-one dinner and later told Comey in a solo Oval Office meeting that he \" hope[d] you can let ... go\" of the Flynn investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president has denied both those accusations. But Comey's testimony so far has only confirmed the many bombshell reports over the past few weeks about the private conversations he had with Trump, many of them unprecedented and possibly inappropriate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"PkoHy1Kkpj064rWEcKCF6HbqqxahfpGv\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey told the committee that he did see Trump's request for loyalty from him -- an independent arbiter atop the FBI -- as a sort of quid pro quo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My common sense told me what's going on here is he's looking to get something in exchange for granting my request to stay in the job,\" Comey said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said that in a now-infamous photo just days after Trump's inauguration in which the president shook his hand and embraced him, Trump whispered in his ear, \"'I really look forward to working with you.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Trump's Feb. 14 private conversation with Comey in the Oval Office — the day after Flynn was asked to resign for misleading Vice President Mike Pence over his conversations with the Russian ambassador during the transition — Comey said that he believed the president was indeed directing him to scuttle the investigation into Flynn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I took it as a direction,\" which he didn't follow, Comey said. \"I took it as, this is what he wants me to do.\" Comey also added that, at that time, Flynn was indeed in \"legal jeopardy\" over his ties and contacts with the Russians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He noted that Attorney General Jeff Sessions tried to linger in on that meeting, and he said that it was his \"sense\" that Sessions \"knew he shouldn't be leaving.\" According to Comey's written testimony, he later told Sessions he didn't want to be left alone with Trump again. Comey said during questioning that he was \"stunned\" by that conversation and the president asking everyone else to leave, and later said it was a \"significant fact\" to him as a prosecutor that Trump wanted to speak with him alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"2Au7mMGeCTSauaMwV8Ad0l35XTxeIrie\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey did testify that he didn't believe Trump was asking Comey to stop the broader Russia investigation being conducted by the FBI, but that while his conversation with Trump was \"disturbing,\" he didn't \"think it's for me to say that the conversation I had with the president was an effort to obstruct.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Obstruction of justice? Up to special counsel Mueller to \"sort that out\" \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later asked by Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., whether Trump's interactions with him over Flynn rose to the level of obstruction of justice, Comey responded that was newly appointed special counsel Robert Mueller's \"job to sort that out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey said he had indeed seen Trump's tweet last month suggesting that the president had \"tapes\" of their conversations — and that if those did exist, they would corroborate his testimony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Lordy, I hope there are tapes,\" he told senators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"yQFz2d9XQ7ctJqIpAA3jwWrRdUodKB8X\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, Comey revealed that it was Trump's tweet about those alleged \"tapes\" that prompted him to call up a friend to leak the memos about his conversations with the president to the press last month in hopes it would lead to the appointment of a special counsel to oversee the Russia investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans have already seized on one section of Comey's written testimony as vindication. The former FBI director does detail in his written submission to the committee how he told Trump on three separate occasions that he himself was not under investigation -- a surprising assertion Trump put in his termination letter to Comey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"Cfus4B3i9DIXOfTbHM7JAp7OWOUtESha\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey told the committee that deliberations with senior FBI leadership about whether to tell the president he was not personally under investigation, beginning in January before he was inaugurated, were not unanimous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of the members of the leadership team had a view that although it was technically true, we did not have a counterintelligence file case open on then-President-elect Trump, his concern was that because we're looking at the potential -- again that's the subject of the investigation -- coordination between the campaign and Russia, because it was President Trump -- President-elect Trump's campaign, this person's view was inevitably his behavior, his conduct will fall within the scope of that work.

I need to remember every word that is spoken,\" he said of the numerous memos he wrote immediately after his encounters with the president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\"Shifting explanations\" for Comey's firing \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The former FBI director also harshly pushed back on Trump's changing explanations for why he had been let go, saying he was \"confused\" and \"increasingly concerned\" about the \"shifting explanations\" Trump gave. The president initially pointed to Comey's handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation as the impetus, but later conceded it was because of his handling of the Russia investigation and claimed Comey was overseeing a demoralized FBI in disarray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So it confused me when I saw on television the president saying he actually fired me because of the Russia investigation and learned again from the media that he was telling, privately, other parties that my firing had relieved 'great pressure' on the Russia investigation,\" Comey said, referring to reporting on Trump's conversation with Russian officials in the Oval Office the day after the dismissal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The administration then chose to defame me, and more importantly the FBI,\" Comey said, by claiming the agency was \"poorly led.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Those were lies, plain and simple,\" Comey bluntly told the committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White House Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Sanders later pushed back on Comey's assertions, telling reporters that \"I can definitely say the president is not a liar and I think it's frankly insulting\" that the question was asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Awkward \"loyalty\" dinners and Oval Office pressure\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey's highly anticipated testimony followed the release by the committee of his written statement on Wednesday, which ticked off in rich detail the extent to which Trump pressed him about the Russia investigation. Comey wrote that Trump did ask him for a \"loyalty\" pledge during a one-on-one dinner and later told Comey in a solo Oval Office meeting that he \" hope[d] you can let ... go\" of the Flynn investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president has denied both those accusations. But Comey's testimony so far has only confirmed the many bombshell reports over the past few weeks about the private conversations he had with Trump, many of them unprecedented and possibly inappropriate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey told the committee that he did see Trump's request for loyalty from him -- an independent arbiter atop the FBI -- as a sort of quid pro quo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My common sense told me what's going on here is he's looking to get something in exchange for granting my request to stay in the job,\" Comey said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also said that in a now-infamous photo just days after Trump's inauguration in which the president shook his hand and embraced him, Trump whispered in his ear, \"'I really look forward to working with you.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Trump's Feb. 14 private conversation with Comey in the Oval Office — the day after Flynn was asked to resign for misleading Vice President Mike Pence over his conversations with the Russian ambassador during the transition — Comey said that he believed the president was indeed directing him to scuttle the investigation into Flynn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I took it as a direction,\" which he didn't follow, Comey said. \"I took it as, this is what he wants me to do.\" Comey also added that, at that time, Flynn was indeed in \"legal jeopardy\" over his ties and contacts with the Russians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He noted that Attorney General Jeff Sessions tried to linger in on that meeting, and he said that it was his \"sense\" that Sessions \"knew he shouldn't be leaving.\" According to Comey's written testimony, he later told Sessions he didn't want to be left alone with Trump again. Comey said during questioning that he was \"stunned\" by that conversation and the president asking everyone else to leave, and later said it was a \"significant fact\" to him as a prosecutor that Trump wanted to speak with him alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey did testify that he didn't believe Trump was asking Comey to stop the broader Russia investigation being conducted by the FBI, but that while his conversation with Trump was \"disturbing,\" he didn't \"think it's for me to say that the conversation I had with the president was an effort to obstruct.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Obstruction of justice? Up to special counsel Mueller to \"sort that out\" \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later asked by Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., whether Trump's interactions with him over Flynn rose to the level of obstruction of justice, Comey responded that was newly appointed special counsel Robert Mueller's \"job to sort that out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey said he had indeed seen Trump's tweet last month suggesting that the president had \"tapes\" of their conversations — and that if those did exist, they would corroborate his testimony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Lordy, I hope there are tapes,\" he told senators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, Comey revealed that it was Trump's tweet about those alleged \"tapes\" that prompted him to call up a friend to leak the memos about his conversations with the president to the press last month in hopes it would lead to the appointment of a special counsel to oversee the Russia investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans have already seized on one section of Comey's written testimony as vindication. The former FBI director does detail in his written submission to the committee how he told Trump on three separate occasions that he himself was not under investigation -- a surprising assertion Trump put in his termination letter to Comey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey told the committee that deliberations with senior FBI leadership about whether to tell the president he was not personally under investigation, beginning in January before he was inaugurated, were not unanimous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of the members of the leadership team had a view that although it was technically true, we did not have a counterintelligence file case open on then-President-elect Trump, his concern was that because we're looking at the potential -- again that's the subject of the investigation -- coordination between the campaign and Russia, because it was President Trump -- President-elect Trump's campaign, this person's view was inevitably his behavior, his conduct will fall within the scope of that work. And so he was reluctant to make the statement that I made. I disagreed,\" Comey said. \"I thought it was fair to say what was literally true — there is not a counterintelligence investigation of Mr. Trump -- and I decided in the moment to say it given the nature of our conversation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He later confirmed that when he was let go on May 9, there was no counterintelligence, nor criminal investigation, of Trump individually, and that the president was not personally under investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked by Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., as to whether he believed Trump colluded with Russia during the campaign, Comey responded, \"I don't think I should answer in an open setting.\" Following his open hearing with members of the Intelligence Committee, Comey did go into a closed briefing with senators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey was also pressed by Republicans on the committee, including Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, on why he didn't alert White House officials or the White House Counsel's Office about what he believed were inappropriate conversations with Trump and a breach of protocol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't know,\" Comey responded to Rubio. \"I think the circumstances were such that I was a bit stunned and didn't have the presence of mind.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Comey critical of Obama Attorney General Loretta Lynch \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans also pressed Comey on how he handled the investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails during the 2016 campaign, usurping then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch by announcing the FBI was not recommending prosecution for handling of classified information on Clinton's private server.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey testified he was disturbed by Lynch's tarmac meeting with Clinton's husband, former President Bill Clinton, and that was one reason he made his announcement in July, though he did say at that time he believed Hillary Clinton had been careless with classified information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I didn't believe she could credibly decline that investigation, at least not without grievous damage to the Department of Justice and the FBI,\" Comey said of Obama's attorney general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Comey said it made him uncomfortable that Lynch had directed him to refer to the Clinton email investigation as a \"matter\" and not an investigation, even though she was, indeed, under criminal investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pressed by Sen.

It was published in \u003cem>JAMA Internal Medicine\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors have known for a long time that African-Americans are prone to \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMHT0024199/\">high blood pressure\u003c/a>. And previous research had found that people living in segregated places tended to have higher blood pressure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new study is the first to follow people over time to see how leaving segregated communities could affect the risk of heart disease. This kind of before-and-after study strengthens the observations made in the earlier studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kiarri Kershaw, an assistant professor of preventive medicine at Northwestern University, and her colleagues followed 2,280 African-Americans participating in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/research/resources/obesity/population/cardia.htm\">Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults\u003c/a> study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The subjects were living in highly segregated neighborhoods in Chicago, Minneapolis, Birmingham, Ala., and Oakland, Calif., when the study began in 1985. They were between the ages of 18 and 30 when the study started.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The researchers followed the study subjects for 25 years, when they reached the ages of 43 to 55. Those who moved away from highly segregated neighborhoods to less-segregated neighborhoods and stayed there during that period had significantly lower blood pressure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their systolic blood pressure, the first of the two numbers used to measure blood pressure, was one to five points lower, the researchers reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the differences in blood pressure may seem small, that difference among a large number of people could translate into thousands fewer heart attacks and strokes over time. Systolic blood pressure is thought to be the more important number when it comes to developing cardiovascular disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's pretty powerful in the sense that the reasons for their moves were not necessarily for their health, but it has these other added benefits,\" Kershaw says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study did not examine how moving to less-segregated neighborhoods could affect blood pressure. But Kershaw thinks it's probably because of a combination of factors, including experiencing less stress from being exposed to less violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a decent-size body of evidence relating stress to blood pressure and that's one pathway that we hypothesize that segregation influences health — through exposure to violence, things like that — that could increase your stress level and then potentially influence blood pressure,\" Kershaw says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less-segregated neighborhoods may also provide more economic opportunities for people and their children and access to better schools, which could also reduce stress, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, those neighborhoods may also make it easier to live healthier lifestyles by having more access to parks, sidewalks, gyms, grocery stores with more fresh produce and pharmacies to get medication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The researchers found the difference in blood pressure persisted after accounting for other factors that could have played a role, such as changes in income and education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kershaw acknowledges, however, that moving to less segregated neighborhoods could increase stress in at least one way — by potentially exposing African-Americans to more racism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's certainly possible that those who move to less segregated neighborhoods experience more exposure to racism, which could be one reason why some African-Americans choose to stay in more segregated neighborhoods,\" she wrote in an email. She noted that African-Americans living in more segregated neighborhoods tend to have better mental health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Kershaw says her study found there was an overall beneficial ffect on blood pressure of leaving a segregated neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The take-home message is that policies that can allow people who are living in segregated neighborhoods to move and live in more integrated neighborhoods have some spillover effects that influences health like blood pressures,\" Kershaw says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others agree. \"This study is really important,\" says \u003ca href=\"https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/ashish-jha/\">Ashish Jha\u003c/a>, who studies health policy at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and was not involved in the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It helps us really feel much more confident that there's something about segregation itself that's leading to worse health outcomes,\" Jha says. \"And this study says that we really do have to tackle segregation if we're going to really improve the health of minorities in America.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

They were between the ages of 18 and 30 when the study started.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The researchers followed the study subjects for 25 years, when they reached the ages of 43 to 55. Those who moved away from highly segregated neighborhoods to less-segregated neighborhoods and stayed there during that period had significantly lower blood pressure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their systolic blood pressure, the first of the two numbers used to measure blood pressure, was one to five points lower, the researchers reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the differences in blood pressure may seem small, that difference among a large number of people could translate into thousands fewer heart attacks and strokes over time. Systolic blood pressure is thought to be the more important number when it comes to developing cardiovascular disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it's pretty powerful in the sense that the reasons for their moves were not necessarily for their health, but it has these other added benefits,\" Kershaw says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study did not examine how moving to less-segregated neighborhoods could affect blood pressure. But Kershaw thinks it's probably because of a combination of factors, including experiencing less stress from being exposed to less violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a decent-size body of evidence relating stress to blood pressure and that's one pathway that we hypothesize that segregation influences health — through exposure to violence, things like that — that could increase your stress level and then potentially influence blood pressure,\" Kershaw says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Less-segregated neighborhoods may also provide more economic opportunities for people and their children and access to better schools, which could also reduce stress, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, those neighborhoods may also make it easier to live healthier lifestyles by having more access to parks, sidewalks, gyms, grocery stores with more fresh produce and pharmacies to get medication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The researchers found the difference in blood pressure persisted after accounting for other factors that could have played a role, such as changes in income and education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kershaw acknowledges, however, that moving to less segregated neighborhoods could increase stress in at least one way — by potentially exposing African-Americans to more racism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's certainly possible that those who move to less segregated neighborhoods experience more exposure to racism, which could be one reason why some African-Americans choose to stay in more segregated neighborhoods,\" she wrote in an email. She noted that African-Americans living in more segregated neighborhoods tend to have better mental health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Kershaw says her study found there was an overall beneficial ffect on blood pressure of leaving a segregated neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The take-home message is that policies that can allow people who are living in segregated neighborhoods to move and live in more integrated neighborhoods have some spillover effects that influences health like blood pressures,\" Kershaw says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others agree. \"This study is really important,\" says \u003ca href=\"https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/ashish-jha/\">Ashish Jha\u003c/a>, who studies health policy at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and was not involved in the study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It helps us really feel much more confident that there's something about segregation itself that's leading to worse health outcomes,\" Jha says. \"And this study says that we really do have to tackle segregation if we're going to really improve the health of minorities in America.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated at 5:40 p.m. ET\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that President Trump's controversial travel ban should be kept on hold, maintaining a nationwide preliminary injunction that blocks key elements of the executive order from being enforced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 13-judge panel of the court \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/05/08/527077078/trump-travel-ban-returns-to-court-with-his-own-words-at-the-center\">heard arguments over the ban earlier this month\u003c/a>. In Thursday's decision, the chief judge writes that the travel ban \"drips with religious intolerance, animus, and discrimination.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"prKH33xXBhmtMljDcuWyeFgWNpXW8zm5\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has signed two executive orders restricting travelers from a handful of majority-Muslim countries and putting a temporary moratorium on refugees. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/31/512439121/trumps-executive-order-on-immigration-annotated\">first\u003c/a> prompted chaos and was swiftly challenged in court. It was replaced by a \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/03/06/518785814/full-text-trumps-new-executive-order-on-travel-annotated\">second order\u003c/a>, which omitted references to religion and explicitly exempted green card holders. That one, too, was promptly challenged in court and its central provisions have never gone into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second executive order -- \"EO-2,\" as the court dubbed it -- is the one that was under consideration by the 4th Circuit as well as several other courtrooms across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue at hand: whether a lower court acted properly in issuing a nationwide injunction to keep the order from being enforced. That means the court was not \u003cem>directly\u003c/em> ruling on the travel ban's constitutionality. But to rule on the injunction, the judges had to evaluate the strength of the case against the ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They decided the arguments against the executive order were strong indeed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judges ruled 10-3 on Thursday to \"affirm in substantial part\" the earlier decisions that have kept the controversial ban from going into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their decision, they drew on the \"backdrop of public statements by the President and his advisers and representatives\" to conclude that lawyers have a good chance of proving in court that Trump was motivated by religious animus when he signed the order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judges \"remain unconvinced\" that the travel ban had \"more to do with national security than it does with effectuating the President's promised Muslim ban.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"chwA6ZHFxxTBWZv2OSlQckgaGYSLP4MB\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We find that the reasonable observer would likely conclude that EO-2's primary purpose is to exclude persons from the United States on the basis of their religious beliefs,\" Chief Judge Roger Gregory wrote on behalf of the majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Surely the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment yet stands as an untiring sentinel for the protection of one of our most cherished founding principles — that government shall not establish any religious orthodoxy, or favor or disfavor one religion over another,\" the ruling read. While the president has broad power over immigration, \"that power is not absolute. It cannot go unchecked,\" the court said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And claims of national security are not a \"silver bullet\" to defeat any arguments against a decision, the judges ruled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thursday afternoon, Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a response to the ruling, saying the executive order was \"well within [the president's] lawful authority \"to keep the Nation safe\":\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"The Department of Justice strongly disagrees with the decision of the divided court, which blocks the President's efforts to strengthen this country's national security. As the dissenting judges explained, the executive order is a constitutional exercise of the President's duty to protect our communities from terrorism. The President is not required to admit people from countries that sponsor or shelter terrorism, until he determines that they can be properly vetted and do not pose a security risk to the United States.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Sessions also said his department would ask the Supreme Court to review the ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judges did overturn one small part of the injunction — namely, the bit where it specifically applied to one Donald Trump. The injunction covered the entire administration, but also Trump as an individual, which the judges say was inappropriate. So now he is no longer singled out — which, the court says, should not affect the enforcement of the injunction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three judges dissented, saying they would vacate the injunction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As NPR's Carrie Johnson \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/05/08/527077078/trump-travel-ban-returns-to-court-with-his-own-words-at-the-center\">has reported\u003c/a>, judges in the 4th Circuit had focused on Trump's own words about a \"Muslim ban\" as they heard arguments over the case earlier this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Judges on the court ... returned over and over to remarks made by Trump during the campaign,\" she wrote after that hearing. \"Judges also noted the presence on the Trump campaign website of the 'Muslim ban' promise, which was only taken down Monday afternoon after it was brought up in the daily White House briefing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the legal battles over the travel ban, whether this case or a similar lawsuit before another court, is expected to ultimately land before the U.S. Supreme Court. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

That means the court was not \u003cem>directly\u003c/em> ruling on the travel ban's constitutionality. But to rule on the injunction, the judges had to evaluate the strength of the case against the ban.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They decided the arguments against the executive order were strong indeed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judges ruled 10-3 on Thursday to \"affirm in substantial part\" the earlier decisions that have kept the controversial ban from going into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their decision, they drew on the \"backdrop of public statements by the President and his advisers and representatives\" to conclude that lawyers have a good chance of proving in court that Trump was motivated by religious animus when he signed the order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judges \"remain unconvinced\" that the travel ban had \"more to do with national security than it does with effectuating the President's promised Muslim ban.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We find that the reasonable observer would likely conclude that EO-2's primary purpose is to exclude persons from the United States on the basis of their religious beliefs,\" Chief Judge Roger Gregory wrote on behalf of the majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Surely the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment yet stands as an untiring sentinel for the protection of one of our most cherished founding principles — that government shall not establish any religious orthodoxy, or favor or disfavor one religion over another,\" the ruling read. While the president has broad power over immigration, \"that power is not absolute. It cannot go unchecked,\" the court said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And claims of national security are not a \"silver bullet\" to defeat any arguments against a decision, the judges ruled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thursday afternoon, Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a response to the ruling, saying the executive order was \"well within [the president's] lawful authority \"to keep the Nation safe\":\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>\"The Department of Justice strongly disagrees with the decision of the divided court, which blocks the President's efforts to strengthen this country's national security. As the dissenting judges explained, the executive order is a constitutional exercise of the President's duty to protect our communities from terrorism. The President is not required to admit people from countries that sponsor or shelter terrorism, until he determines that they can be properly vetted and do not pose a security risk to the United States.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Sessions also said his department would ask the Supreme Court to review the ruling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judges did overturn one small part of the injunction — namely, the bit where it specifically applied to one Donald Trump. The injunction covered the entire administration, but also Trump as an individual, which the judges say was inappropriate. So now he is no longer singled out — which, the court says, should not affect the enforcement of the injunction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Three judges dissented, saying they would vacate the injunction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As NPR's Carrie Johnson \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/05/08/527077078/trump-travel-ban-returns-to-court-with-his-own-words-at-the-center\">has reported\u003c/a>, judges in the 4th Circuit had focused on Trump's own words about a \"Muslim ban\" as they heard arguments over the case earlier this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Judges on the court ... returned over and over to remarks made by Trump during the campaign,\" she wrote after that hearing. \"Judges also noted the presence on the Trump campaign website of the 'Muslim ban' promise, which was only taken down Monday afternoon after it was brought up in the daily White House briefing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the legal battles over the travel ban, whether this case or a similar lawsuit before another court, is expected to ultimately land before the U.S. Supreme Court. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

The researchers think changes in climate led to increased runoff and more nutrients pouring into the coasts. At the same time, there was an increase in ocean \u003ca href=\"http://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/upwelling.html\">upwelling\u003c/a>, which occurs when wind pushes surface waters offshore and causes deeper ocean waters underneath surface waters to replace it.

So for every gulp, they're getting tremendous amounts of energy\" Goldbogen says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Think about it this way: It takes a lot of energy for a giant whale to open its giant mouth. If a lot of food is packed into a small space, those whales can swallow it up in one big gulp and it's worth all the energy it takes. But if the food is spread out and the whales have to swim around opening and closing their mouths a lot — then it's not great to be a big ol' whale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So big whales are more efficient at eating the dense patches of food, while smaller whales might be more suited to eating food dispersed throughout the ocean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The changes in the ocean also allowed whales to get really big, really fast. The researchers \u003ca href=\"http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2017.0546\">reported\u003c/a> in the journal \u003cem>Royal Society B \u003c/em>on Tuesday that the whales increased in body mass from 10 tons to 100 tons in just a few million years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"CfS5eSxdylyQtPKjztG9pbptFui3yNrB\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although it's hard to draw a direct connection between whale size and ocean dynamics 3 million years ago, other studies support the hypothesis. \"There are cases where food limitation or food production can basically control body size changes on very short time scales,\" Goldbogen says, referring to a 2013 study published in the \u003ca href=\"https://academic.oup.com/icesjms/article/70/6/1273/637166/Evidence-for-density-dependent-changes-in-body\">ICES Journal of Marine Science\u003c/a>. Therefore, \"the inference here is that if you have enough food available and very, very efficient animals, that perhaps they can evolve larger and larger body sizes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goldbogen is more than a little excited to be studying these ocean giants. \"We're totally living in a time of giants. Unlike no other time in Earth's history\" he says. \"We have a unique opportunity to study how the largest animals of all time function in these different ecosystems, and that's a lot of fun.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goldbogen thinks the next question is: \"Are whales still getting bigger? If we fast-forward a few million years into the future if food is not limiting, can they evolve even greater body sizes?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We'll have to wait to find out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

At the same time, there was an increase in ocean \u003ca href=\"http://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/upwelling.html\">upwelling\u003c/a>, which occurs when wind pushes surface waters offshore and causes deeper ocean waters underneath surface waters to replace it.

So for every gulp, they're getting tremendous amounts of energy\" Goldbogen says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Think about it this way: It takes a lot of energy for a giant whale to open its giant mouth. If a lot of food is packed into a small space, those whales can swallow it up in one big gulp and it's worth all the energy it takes. But if the food is spread out and the whales have to swim around opening and closing their mouths a lot — then it's not great to be a big ol' whale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So big whales are more efficient at eating the dense patches of food, while smaller whales might be more suited to eating food dispersed throughout the ocean.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The changes in the ocean also allowed whales to get really big, really fast. The researchers \u003ca href=\"http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2017.0546\">reported\u003c/a> in the journal \u003cem>Royal Society B \u003c/em>on Tuesday that the whales increased in body mass from 10 tons to 100 tons in just a few million years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although it's hard to draw a direct connection between whale size and ocean dynamics 3 million years ago, other studies support the hypothesis. \"There are cases where food limitation or food production can basically control body size changes on very short time scales,\" Goldbogen says, referring to a 2013 study published in the \u003ca href=\"https://academic.oup.com/icesjms/article/70/6/1273/637166/Evidence-for-density-dependent-changes-in-body\">ICES Journal of Marine Science\u003c/a>. Therefore, \"the inference here is that if you have enough food available and very, very efficient animals, that perhaps they can evolve larger and larger body sizes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goldbogen is more than a little excited to be studying these ocean giants. \"We're totally living in a time of giants. Unlike no other time in Earth's history\" he says. \"We have a unique opportunity to study how the largest animals of all time function in these different ecosystems, and that's a lot of fun.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Goldbogen thinks the next question is: \"Are whales still getting bigger? If we fast-forward a few million years into the future if food is not limiting, can they evolve even greater body sizes?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We'll have to wait to find out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>A new social network has grown quietly in recent months. It's called Gab, and its users are invited to #SpeakFreely — an appeal attractive to many members of the far right and others who feel their views are stifled by mainstream sites like Twitter and Facebook.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gab.ai was born not long before the election, a brainchild of a young CEO in a \"Make America Great Again\" hat, taking on what he calls \"the Big Social\" with a motto \"Free Speech For Everyone.\" While Facebook and Twitter are attempting to clean up offensive content and misinformation, Gab CEO Andrew Torba argues the efforts result in censorship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For whatever reason, we're shying away from individual liberty, individual responsibility to this nanny-state, Big-Brother-esque forum or model of the internet, which is really scary to me,\" Torba said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsBQfEZvJeY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent conversation\u003c/a> with a commentator on YouTube.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Gab makes the case for people to be able to post whatever they want, as long as it's legal. That means the site's \u003ca href=\"https://gab.ai/about/guidelines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">user guidelines\u003c/a> prohibit very few types of posts: illegal pornography, threats of violence or terrorism, confidential information of users without their consent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after Gab launched, a \u003cem>Wired\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/2016/09/gab-alt-rights-twitter-ultimate-filter-bubble/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">article described\u003c/a> the site as \"an artifact from a dystopian universe where the alt-right completely took over Twitter.\" The alt-right has been associated with racism, anti-Semitism and misogyny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Richard Spencer, the white nationalist and a major \"alt-right\" figure, was suspended from Twitter \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/11/16/twitter-suspends-prominent-alt-right-accounts/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">in November\u003c/a> along with several other alt-right figures. \"To be honest, I don't know what I'm going to do,\" Spencer said in a follow-up \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiADHzBOqZ0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">YouTube video\u003c/a>. \"There's obviously Gab, which is an interesting medium. ... I think that will be the place where we go next.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A wave of news stories followed. \u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/30/arts/the-far-right-has-a-new-digital-safe-space.html?_r=2&mtrref=undefined\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">described Gab\u003c/a> as \"a digital safe space for the far right.\" A \u003cem>Salon\u003c/em> reporter \u003ca href=\"http://www.salon.com/2016/11/05/inside-the-twitter-for-racists-gab-the-site-where-milo-yiannopoulos-goes-to-troll-now/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">asked Torba\u003c/a> about Gab's logo — a green frog dubbed Gabby: \"I suspected it was a reference to Pepe the frog,\" the reporter wrote, referring to \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/alltechconsidered/2017/05/11/527590762/what-pepe-the-frogs-death-can-teach-us-about-the-internet\">the Internet cartoon character\u003c/a> that's been associated with the alt-right, neo-Nazis and white nationalists. Torba says the Gab frog is a religious reference, a symbol of exodus and rebirth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, in the fall, Gab was invitation-only. Thousands of people were said to be on the wait-list. \"Gab is less than a month old, so it may well flame out like \u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/2016/01/peach-is-so-hot-right-now-heres-why-the-internets-obsessed-with-it/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Peach\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/2016/05/ello-artists/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ello\u003c/a>,\" \u003cem>Wired's\u003c/em> Emma Grey Ellis wrote in that September feature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, Gab.ai opened to the public.

The users have the option to \"mute\" whatever people or terms they want. In the wild, without muting or following particular people, a random scroll through categories on Gab is a roller-coaster of posts: Some benign ones (a chicken recipe, a prayer in support of President Trump, some links to music clips), then a startling one (a photo of a group of Klansmen, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/history-archaeology/leo-frank-case\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Leo Frank\u003c/a> lynching), then back to regular internet lore (a dog video, a \u003cem>Saturday Night Live\u003c/em> skit).

He says Trump is better than Hillary Clinton, but he does not always agree with the president. Donker is also openly gay. His partner is an immigrant.

That means the site's \u003ca href=\"https://gab.ai/about/guidelines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">user guidelines\u003c/a> prohibit very few types of posts: illegal pornography, threats of violence or terrorism, confidential information of users without their consent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after Gab launched, a \u003cem>Wired\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"https://www.wired.com/2016/09/gab-alt-rights-twitter-ultimate-filter-bubble/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">article described\u003c/a> the site as \"an artifact from a dystopian universe where the alt-right completely took over Twitter.\" The alt-right has been associated with racism, anti-Semitism and misogyny.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The users have the option to \"mute\" whatever people or terms they want. In the wild, without muting or following particular people, a random scroll through categories on Gab is a roller-coaster of posts: Some benign ones (a chicken recipe, a prayer in support of President Trump, some links to music clips), then a startling one (a photo of a group of Klansmen, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/articles/history-archaeology/leo-frank-case\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Leo Frank\u003c/a> lynching), then back to regular internet lore (a dog video, a \u003cem>Saturday Night Live\u003c/em> skit).

He says Trump is better than Hillary Clinton, but he does not always agree with the president. Donker is also openly gay. His partner is an immigrant.

He says his posts there would regularly get removed, which he attributes to censorship. \"It was almost like being thrown into a timeout corner as a child,\" he says. \"I'm 48; I don't need to be treated this way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Combs says he first heard about Gab from David Seaman and other YouTubers as he followed the \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/03/26/521545788/conspiracy-theorist-alex-jones-apologizes-for-promoting-pizzagate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\"pizzagate\" conspiracy\u003c/a>. (Combs does not believe mainstream fact-checking and news sites that have debunked the rumors and maintains his belief in the story.) He quickly shifted to the new platform, and describes himself as an \"avid poster.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"At first, I will be frank, it was a little culture shock for me,\" he says. \"Going from the liberalism of Facebook and having to adjust to that culture, then going to Gab — which frankly, even four months ago was very different than it is now. ... It was like a conservative exodus from Twitter.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Combs says he is not conservative — he has conservative values, but he describes himself as a libertarian, an \"independent thinker,\" and he is also gay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was at odds quite a bit over that,\" Combs says. \"I have encountered several people on Gab when I first started, I will be very frank, there is a very conservative thread that runs through that platform. And I think they're starting to get it that they're not there to control the conversation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Combs and Donker both say Gab's decision to \"open the floodgates\" is already helping to add diversity of views to what they both assume was the original crowd of hard-line conservative Republicans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
