Last year, the Eagles, Chiefs, Bills and Lions, formed a fearsome foursome. For most of the season, they were clearly the NFL’s elite.This year, it’s hard to find an elite group like that — or to even determine how large that group might be. No team has really separated itself from the pack yet. And there’s a case to be made that any of the Top 10 teams could end up as the best in the league.But it certainly helped that the Bucs and Lions — the Nos. 1 and 2 teams in the FOX Sports Power Rankings a week…

New FDA guidances from October 2025 outline streamlined approval pathways for cell and gene therapies targeting severe conditions in small populations[1], signaling regulatory momentum toward advanced platforms that replace, repair, or modify disease-causing genes rather than simply managing symptoms. These companies represent a new generation of biotechs pursuing targeted solutions where traditional drugs have reached their limits:…

The lunch is expected to be held in the White House Rose Garden.Sen. Markwayne Mullin, an Oklahoma Republican, told reporters Monday that although he didn’t know the lunch agenda, “I know the president’s been real good about reaching out and making sure that Republicans are working all on the same page.””I think most of the conversation is what happens next after the Democrats decide…

WASHINGTON — WASHINGTON (AP) — As the government shutdown enters its fourth week, Senate Republicans are headed to the White House on Tuesday — not for urgent talks on how to end it, but for a display of unity with President Donald Trump as they refuse to negotiate on any Democratic demands. Senate Democrats, too, are confident in their strategy to keep voting against a House-passed bill that would reopen the government until Republicans, including Trump, engage them on extending health care subsidies that expire at the end of the year.
