Justice Department maneuvers to keep Trump loyalists atop US attorneys' offices in LA and Nevada
The Justice Department has maneuvered in recent days to keep two pro-Trump loyalists in acting leadership positions at the U.S. attorneys' offices in Los Angeles and Nevada, in an effort to extend their tenures beyond a statutory 120-day limit. According to a Justice Department official, the interim U.S. Attorney for Nevada Sigal Chattah and interim U.S. Attorney for Los Angeles Bill Essayli were both designated as acting U.S. attorneys for their respective offices just before their terms were set to expire and federal judges in the district would convene to appoint their replacements. The moves are a continuation of what is now becoming a trend for DOJ, as its controversial temporary picks to lead U.S. attorneys' offices around the country face resistance from the federal bench to extend their service. The department made similar moves in both the District of New Jersey with Trump's former personal attorney Alina Habba, as well as in the Northern District of New York, where John Sarcone III was also appointed "acting" U.S. attorney after judges declined to approve his temporary extension. The administration recently explained it's legal justification for working around existing statute that requires interim U.S. attorneys to vacate their post after 120 days, essentially setting forth a process in which officials like Chattah, Essayli and Habba resign in order to create a vacancy at the position of U.S. attorney -- followed by their appointment by Trump as a designated "acting" U.S. attorney who can then serve for at least another 210 days. The maneuvering is already facing legal challenges, though the Justice Department has been adamant that judges should not be in the position to determine who heads up the top prosecutorial offices in districts around the country -- an issue that is only piling up as some of the administration's more controversial nominees face delays and other potential headwinds in the Senate. Both Chattah and Essayli have faced scrutiny during their short tenures over their lengthy past histories as pro-Trump firebrands, as well as allegations they've sought to weaponize their offices to advance the administration's agenda. Prior to her tenure, Chattah was accused of making racist remarks describing then-Rep. Jamaal Bowman as a "hood rat" and a "ghetto rat." She also stated that Nevada AG Aaron Ford, who is Black and who Chattah campaigned against in 2022, "should be hanging from a f****** crane." Chattah denied the accusations she is racist in a recent interview with a CBS affiliate, and said "there's not an extremist bone in my body." Essayli, who was appointed to his post in early April, has separately faced accusations of politicizing his office by aggressively pursuing charges against protesters of the administration's immigration agenda, resulting in some embarrassing setbacks in court. Essayli has denied his actions are driven by politics. On Tuesday, his office moved to dismiss charges against Alejandro Orellana, a man charged with allegedly distributing face shields to protesters in LA, whose criminal case was announced with great fanfare by Essayli earlier this month. Trump's supporters cheered the initial move to charge, though many legal experts questioned the use of felony civil disorder statutes being applied to Orellana's alleged actions in distributing the face shields. Other controversial actions by Essayli have led to resignations by many of the career prosecutors who staff the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles, including a misdemeanor plea deal he entered into with a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy who had been convicted of felony assault. Just hours before the administration extended his tenure on Wednesday, Essayli moved to dismiss a corporate fraud case against Trump donor Andrew Wiederhorn, the founder and chairman of the restaurant chain Fatburger.

Faith leaders seek to halt Byron Black's Tennessee execution
A coalition of faith leaders and others on Wednesday seeks a halt to Byron Black's scheduled execution on Tuesday for a 1989 triple murder due to his intellectual disability. Photo Courtesy of the Tennessee Department of Correction July 30 (UPI) -- Convicted triple-murderer Byron Black, 69, might elude his scheduled execution on Tuesday morning due to a recently claimed intellectual disability and dementia. Faith leaders on Wednesday held a clemency and faith rally in Nashville that seeks to have Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee or the Supreme Court halt Black's execution that is scheduled at 10 a.m. CDT on Tuesday. "The execution of Byron Black is neither loving or just," the Rev. Davie Tucker Jr. said Wednesday in a news release shared with UPI. "His execution becomes another public example of how everything legal ain't right," Tucker said. "As a mother who has experienced the devastating loss of my son to violence, my heart breaks for the Clay family and the pain they have endured," said Rafiah Muhammad McCormick, Tennesseans for Alternatives to the Death Penalty community outreach director, in referring to a victim's family. She called Black a "man with intellectual disability and dementia" who should receive clemency instead of the death penalty. Jasmine Woodson, director of Tennessee Conservatives Concerned About the Death Penalty, said Black "has spent over three decades in prison for this crime and will never be released." "I believe that he should remain behind bars," Woodson added, "but he should not be executed." Black was sentenced to death after being convicted of murdering his girlfriend, Angela Clay, and her two daughters, Latoya and Lakeisha, in 1989. His legal team on Tuesday asked the U.S. Supreme Court to block Black's execution, according to a WTVF report. Black's legal team says the Tennessee Constitution and the U.S. Constitution prohibit the state from executing Black due to his intellectual disability. "Every expert who has evaluated Mr. Black has concluded that he is a person with intellectual disability," the legal team's writ of certiorari says. "His IQ scores on gold-standard individually administered object measures ... all meet the criteria to establish significantly subaverage intellectual functioning," Black's attorneys say. Black's IQ has been measured several times, with scores falling between 57 and 76, which is well below the average of between 90 and 109 for normal intelligence, they argue. Black was scheduled for execution on Aug. 18, 2022, but his legal team in June 2021 sought to have him declared intellectually disabled based on recent changes in the state's definition of intellectual disability. The change to Tennessee's law does not allow felons to seek changes to their prior sentences, so the state is proceeding with the scheduled execution. Only intervention by the Supreme Court of Tennessee's governor could spare Black from the state carrying out the death penalty.

New Research Illustrates Gaps in COPD Care and the Need for Better Patient-Provider Communication
ALL-REMOTE COMPANY/WILMINGTON, Del.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) face significant challenges, but conversations with healthcare providers can play a critical role in helping patients understand their condition, set realistic goals, ease symptom burden and improve their quality of life, according to new research from the COPD Foundation and Phreesia. COPD is a chronic and progressive lung disease that affects more than 16 million people in the United States and is the sixth leading cause of death. The study, published in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases: The Journal of the COPD Foundation, with funding support from Verona Pharma, was based on voluntary surveys from 1,615 COPD patients in January 2025. Patients completed the survey on Phreesia's platform after checking in for their doctor appointments and providing consent. Patients reported significant symptom burden, with 43% of patients saying they experience COPD symptoms, including shortness of breath and fatigue, at least 24 days in a typical month and a quarter of patients reporting symptoms every day. Patients also reported significant impacts to their quality of life, with around two-thirds saying COPD had a moderate-to-great impact on their daily lives and half reporting a moderate-to-great impact on their emotional health. COPD also impacted patients' ability to work, with 15% saying they had lost a job due to their condition. Surveyed patients also reported barriers to medication. One in five patients reported not using any maintenance medications. Among those patients, 27% said they didn't think their COPD was severe enough and 27% said their provider had not recommended maintenance therapy. Seventy-one percent of patients who had not tried any COPD medications said they would be likely to try them. And among patients who had tried maintenance medications, 80% said it was because their doctor had recommended it. Despite this opportunity for patient-provider discussions around maintenance medications and other treatment options, the study found significant communication gaps between patients and their healthcare providers. Only 45% of patients reported having detailed discussions about their COPD symptoms with their providers, and 22% of patients said they provided little to no symptom detail during visits. Additionally, more than a third of patients reported having limited to no understanding of COPD. That percentage was even higher among Black patients and patients aged 45−64 years, 46% and 41% respectively, highlighting the potential for targeted interventions. 'These findings point to the urgent need to improve communication between patients and their providers and ensure conversations are as engaging, informative and productive as possible,' said David Mannino, MD, Co-Founder and Medical Director of the COPD Foundation and the study's lead author. 'Equipping patients with the right information and resources can help them take a more active role in their care and improve health outcomes.' 'Given what we know about the benefits of giving patients relevant, credible health information at the point of care, these results have important implications that can be used to support patients struggling with COPD,' said David Linetsky, Phreesia's President, Network Solutions. 'At Phreesia, we've seen firsthand that when patients have more meaningful conversations with their providers, it helps them manage their treatment and improves quality of life.'
