  • US states sue over Trump demands for data on food stamp recipients</p>

<p>By Daniel Wiessner</p>

<p>(Reuters) -A group of U.S. states has filed a lawsuit seeking to block the administration of President Donald Trump from requiring them to hand over information on millions of people who receive food stamp benefits.</p>

<p>The 20 mostly Democratic-led states and Washington, D.C., said the Trump administration's efforts to amass a database of food stamp recipients to check their immigration status and identify fraud violate federal privacy laws and the U.S. Constitution. The lawsuit was filed in a federal court in California on Monday.</p>

<p>About 42 million people receive benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, which is largely funded by the federal government and administered by states. Immigrants in the United States illegally are not eligible for SNAP.</p>

<p>The states in their lawsuit say that federal privacy laws and rules governing state food stamp programs bar them from disclosing applicants' personal information.</p>

<p>"You don't promise to help someone eat, then punish them for sitting at the table," California Attorney General Rob Bonta, a Democrat, said at a press conference.</p>

<p>New York, Michigan, Illinois and New Jersey are among the other states that joined the lawsuit.</p>

<p>The U.S. Department of Agriculture, which oversees SNAP, said it does not comment on pending litigation.</p>

<p>The department said in June that it would gather information from states to build the database with the goal of reducing waste and strengthening SNAP, and in keeping with Trump's directives to promote data-sharing across the federal government.</p>

<p>The data sought by the department includes the Social Security numbers, immigration status and other information of people who have received, are receiving or have applied to receive SNAP benefits, according to agency documents. States could lose SNAP funding if they refuse to comply.</p>

<p>The massive U.S. tax cut and policy bill approved by Congress earlier this month makes various changes and cuts to SNAP, including requiring states to partially fund benefits and imposing work requirements and time limits.</p>

Princess Diana's Brother Shares a Vintage Poolside Photo From When They Were Kids

  • Princess Diana's Brother Shares a Vintage Poolside Photo From When They Were Kids</p>

<p>Rachel KingJuly 29, 2025 at 11:07 PM</p>

<p>Princess Diana's only brother, Charles Spencer, recently shared what appears to be a never-before-seen photo of himself and his late sister from their childhood. Posted to his Instagram account on Tuesday, the black-and-white image features the two of them as children in their swimsuits next to the swimming pool at Park House on Sandringham Estate.</p>

<p>"A long ago summer, by the swimming pool at our childhood home, Park House, Sandringham - Diana and I both proudly showing off our swimming badges (sewn onto our swimming costumes)," Spencer wrote in the caption. "These were awarded (sparingly) by Mrs Lansdowne, a fairly terrifying but very gifted swimming instructor, who came to stay each year. We were never out of that pool."</p>

<p>Diana was born at Park House on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, where she grew up and continued to live with her father until the death of her grandfather, the 7th Earl Spencer, in 1975. After that, the family moved to the Spencer family seat at Althorp, a stately house dating back to 1508, in Northamptonshire, in the English Midlands. Diana's siblings, including Charles as well as her sisters Sarah and Jane, also grew up at Park House.</p>

<p>The 9th Earl of Spencer, Charles is also the maternal uncle of Prince William and Prince Harry. While Charles does speak often fondly of his sister, he doesn't share archival photos of her to social media frequently. However, he did share one of her recently on what would have been her 64th birthday on July 1, 2025. Taken in 1967 in Britain's Thorney Wildlife Park, the photo shows the Spencer children along with their father celebrating Diana's 6th birthday, featuring the future Princess of Wales sitting on the back of a camel.</p>

Pamela Anderson, Liam Neeson dodge dating rumors on 'Today' show: 'Are you two an item?'

  • Pamela Anderson, Liam Neeson dodge dating rumors on 'Today' show: 'Are you two an item?'</p>

<p>Jay Stahl, USA TODAY July 30, 2025 at 12:27 AM</p>

<p>"The Naked Gun" costars Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson are the latest focus of Hollywood romance rumors.</p>

<p>The Hollywood A-listers behind the beloved 1980s and '90s action franchise reboot (in theaters Aug. 1) appeared on the "Today" show with coanchor Craig Melvin, who bluntly asked the duo if they were dating.</p>

<p>"What's the deal here?" Melvin asked on the July 29 episode, addressing "red carpet action" and a "passionate" onscreen kiss. "You're both single right now. There's clearly chemistry on display throughout this film. Are you two an item?"</p>

<p>Neeson, 73, replied, "Craig!" as Anderson, 58, coyly quipped, "What? I don't understand the question." Neeson then told Melvin that "I had never met Pamela before. We met on set. And we discovered we had a lovely, budding chemistry as two actors."</p>

<p>Pamela Anderson gives Liam Neeson a cheek kiss at the London premiere of "The Naked Gun" on July 22, 2025, in England.</p>

<p>Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson share affectionate red carpet moment</p>

<p>Neeson added that their approach to their chemistry was "like, 'Oh, this is nice. Let's not mold this. Let's just let it breathe,' and that's what we did."</p>

<p>Neeson was previously married to British actress Natasha Richardson from 1994 until her death at 45 years old in 2009, while Anderson has had four husbands: Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, rap rocker Kid Rock, poker player Rick Salomon and Dan Hayhurst.</p>

<p>Last week, as the costars posed on the red carpet at the film's London premiere, Anderson leaned up and gave Neeson a smooch on his cheek. As they took photos with one of the film's producers, she was seen clasping the Oscar nominee's hand around her left hip.</p>

<p>On "Today," Melvin playfully told the costars that "we're watching the beginning of the breathing of a budding relationship" – as Anderson nervously laughed – and the journalist added that "America's here for it. We're here for whatever this turns into."</p>

<p>Pamela Anderson done playing characters in her personal life. An Oscar could be next.</p>

<p>Before the "Today" interview ended, Melvin complimented Anderson, telling the "Last Showgirl" actress that "you bring out a different side of Liam Neeson" and "we want you (both) to come back when it's official."</p>

<p>During a recent "Entertainment Tonight" interview, the pair nearly kissed. As Anderson leaned in to for a near-kiss from Neeson, an "ET" red carpet reporter said they were "so close," before Anderson said, "Yeah, so close." Neeson added, "We're pros."</p>

<p>Last year, when asked whether he was dating, Neeson told People: "No, in a word. I'm past all that." In an Instagram post recapping the film's New York premiere July 29, Anderson's caption included a message of her own: "Love is in the air."</p>

Record-breaking heat wave scorches Southeast US

  • Record-breaking heat wave scorches Southeast US</p>

<p>RUSS BYNUM and MIKE SCHNEIDER July 30, 2025 at 1:51 AM</p>

<p>SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — Residents in the Southeast U.S. are no strangers to heat in the summertime, but this week's sweltering hot weather set at least one record and has forecasters urging residents to limit time outside on Tuesday if possible — and stay hydrated.</p>

<p>The all-time high temperature at Tampa International Airport was broken on Sunday when the thermometer hit 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.8 degrees Celsius). The previous record had been 99 F (37.2 C) in June 2020.</p>

<p>The National Weather Service said Tuesday the prolonged heat is expected to peak in the Southeast at mid-week. A strong upper ridge also was generating a "dangerous and prolonged" heat wave in the central and eastern sections of the country.</p>

<p>No relief in the shade</p>

<p>In Savannah, Georgia, landscaper Darius Cowherd took a break Tuesday in the cab of his work truck after spending the morning mowing grass, trimming bushes and blowing leaves in Forsyth Park in the coastal city's downtown historic district.</p>

<p>Sipping from a giant water bottle almost the size of a gallon jug, he said, "I filled it with ice at 7 this morning and it's all melted by 10:30."</p>

<p>A canopy of live oak trees in much of the park provided little relief.</p>

<p>"It's hot even when you're working in the shade," said Cowherd, who wore a wide-brimmed hat to shield his face and neck.</p>

<p>The National Weather Service predicted temperatures in Savannah would reach 97 F (36 C) Tuesday, with heat index values — what the temperature feels like — approaching a broiling 110 F (43 C).</p>

<p>Breaking records</p>

<p>The heat wave was expected to set new records across Florida on Tuesday, with highs around 100 F. Heat index values in the Tampa Bay area were expected to range from 113 to 118 F (45 to 47.7 C).</p>

<p>"We have extreme heat warnings in Georgia, down through northern Florida that would also include places like the Tampa Bay and Orlando metro areas," said Peter Mullinax, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service. "We're going to see today more opportunities for temperatures to be near 100 again."</p>

<p>However, rain is in the forecast for Wednesday, which will likely cool things off a bit.</p>

<p>Extreme heat warnings also were issued in the country's center from New Orleans up to St. Louis, the meteorologist said. The heat index value on Tuesday was expected to reach as high as 110 F around the St. Louis area and in southwest Illinois.</p>

<p>'Too much' heat</p>

<p>In downtown Savannah, scattered tourists trudged along the sidewalks despite the heat. A few carried umbrellas to keep the sun at bay.</p>

<p>A block away, Luis Hernandez was working in direct sun on a ladder painting second-floor windows on a 19th century home. He wore long sleeves to protect against sunburn.</p>

<p>Hernandez said a co-worker made sure he and his fellow house painters had a cooler filled with drinking water. About every two hours, they would go inside to take breaks in the air-conditioning.</p>

<p>"Sure, it's hot," Hernandez said — almost "too much."</p>

<p>With temperatures climbing Tuesday afternoon in Tallahassee, Willie Gaines and his workers took a break from painting white traffic lines on a newly paved road near the All Saints neighborhood. As they sat in the shade of tree, heat radiated off the blacktop. The air was thick with the fumes of fresh asphalt.</p>

<p>"Everybody's complaining they ain't never seen it this hot," Gaines said.</p>
