Trump gives disaster declarations to Alaska and others but denies Vermont, Illinois, Maryland

President Donald Trump approved major disaster declarations for Alaska, Nebraska, North Dakota and the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe late Wednesday, while denying requests from Vermont, Illinois and Maryland and leaving other states still waiting for answers.The decisions fell mostly along party lines, with Trump touting on social media Wednesday that he had “won BIG” in Alaska in the last three presidential elections, that he won “THREE times” in the “beautiful State of North Dakota,” and that it was his “honor” to deliver for the “incredible Patriots” of Missouri, a state he also won three times. Additionally he said Nebraska “is a special place.”The disaster declarations authorize the Federal Emergency Management Agency to support recipients with federal financial assistance to repair public infrastructure damaged by disasters and, in some cases, provide survivors money for repairs and temporary housing.While Trump has approved more disaster declarations than he’s denied this year, he has also repeatedly floated the idea of “phasing out” FEMA, saying he wants states to take more responsibility for disaster response and recovery. States already take the lead in disasters, but depend on federal assistance when the needs exceed what they can manage alone.Trump has also taken longer to approve disaster declaration requests than in any previous administration, including his first, according to an Associated Press analysis.Approvals fell mostly along party linesThe states approved for disaster declarations include Alaska, which filed an expedited request after experiencing back-to-back storms this month that wrecked coastal villages, displaced 2,000 residents and killed at least one person. Trump approved a 100% cost share of disaster-related expenses for 90 days.North Dakota and Nebraska will also receive public assistance for August severe weather, and the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe in Minnesota was approved for both public and individual assistance for a June storm that felled thousands of trees across its tribal lands.Trump denied four requests, including Maryland’s appeal for reconsideration after the state was denied a disaster declaration for May flooding that severely impacted the state’s two westernmost counties.Gov. Wes Moore, a Democrat, denounced the decision in a statement Thursday, calling the final denial “deeply frustrating.”“President Trump and his Administration have politicized disaster relief, and our communities are the ones who will pay the price,” said Moore. The state has been supporting impacted individuals itself, deploying over $450,000 for the first time from its State Disaster Recovery Fund.Maryland met the conditions necessary to qualify for public assistance, according to a preliminary damage assessment, but Trump, who has the final decision on the declarations, denied the state’s July request. Maryland appealed in August with further data showing the counties experienced $33.7 million in damage, according to the state, more than three times its threshold for federal assistance.Trump also denied Vermont a major disaster declaration for July 10 floods after the state waited over nine weeks for a decision. The damages far exceed what some of the small towns impacted can afford on their own, said Eric Forand, Vermont’s emergency management director.“It’s well over the annual budget or two years’ budget (of some towns), to fix those roads,” Forand said.The other denials included an application from Illinois for individual assistance for three counties impacted in July by severe storms and flooding, and one from Alaska to rebuild a public safety building that burned in a July electrical fire.Asked why the states were denied, White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said, “President Trump provides a more thorough review of disaster declaration requests than any Administration has before him.” She said Trump was “ensuring American tax dollars are used appropriately and efficiently by the states to supplement — not substitute, their obligation to respond to and recover from disasters.”Assistance granted after weekslong waitSeveral states and one tribe still await decisions on their requests.Not knowing whether public assistance is coming can delay crucial projects, especially for small jurisdictions with tight budgets, and sometimes leaves survivors without any help to secure temporary housing or repair homes now too dangerous to live in.Before its approval Wednesday, the Leech Lake Band of Ojibwe was straining to cover the costs of clearing thousands of trees felled across its reservation by a June thunderstorm. As a tribe, it is entitled to apply for assistance independently of the state where it is located.The tribe had spent about $1.5 million of its own funds so far, said Duane Oothoudt, emergency operations manager for the Leech Lake Police Department.The tribe was “doing a lot of juggling, using reserve funding to operate and continue paying our contractors,” Oothoudt said just hours before being notified of the disaster declaration, nine weeks after submitting the request.With federal funding approved for both public and individual assistance, Oothoudt said Thursday his one-man emergency management department would focus on helping survivors first.“There’s a lot of work to do,” he said. “People were hurt by the storm.”Associated Press writer Brian Witte in Annapolis, Maryland, contributed.

Marcus Rashford: 'For Sure' I Want To Stay At Barcelona Beyond Loan

Marcus Rashford has expressed his desire to remain at Barcelona permanently after his one-year loan from Manchester United, telling ESPN he is enjoying life at the Catalan club. The 27-year-old England international cited needing a change after spending 23 years with the Premier League side since joining their academy at age seven.Barcelona hold an option to sign Rashford permanently for €30 million at the end of the 2025-26 season. The forward has impressed under Hansi Flick, recording five goals and six assists in 12 appearances since his summer arrival."Oh yeah, for sure," Rashford said when asked about extending his stay. "I'm enjoying this football club and I think for anybody who loves football, Barcelona is one of the key clubs in the history of the game. For a player is an honor."Rashford did not feature for Manchester United after December 2024, having fallen out of favor under head coach Ruben Amorim. He spent the second half of the 2024-25 campaign on loan at Aston Villa before securing his Barcelona move.The Athletic reported in January that Rashford favored a Barcelona transfer, with sporting director Deco monitoring the situation closely. His United contract runs through 2028, but the forward emphasized his need for a new environment."It was so many years in one place," Rashford explained. "People forget this, but 24 years, 23 years of my life was with Manchester United. So sometimes you just need a change."Rashford has been reintegrated into England's squad by head coach Thomas Tuchel after being omitted by Gareth Southgate for last year's European Championship. He has appeared in three of Tuchel's four squads since taking charge.The striker scored 138 goals in 426 appearances for United after breaking into the first team in 2015-16. Barcelona face Real Madrid in Sunday's El Clasico at the Bernabeu, with Los Blancos holding a two-point lead atop La Liga.

Firefly-inspired algorithm tackles resource allocation problem

Bio-inspired computational methods have gained popularity recently. These methods mimic the seemingly complex behavior of organisms to tackle difficult and often overwhelming problems. For example, algorithms have been inspired by honeybees' flight patterns when searching for nectar, ants' social foraging strategies, the evasive murmurations of birds and fish, and even the growth patterns of slime molds. By modeling these natural processes mathematically, researchers can develop innovative solutions to complex challenges.

Global study reveals tempo of invasive species' impacts

A new study shows for the first time that biological invasions don't change ecosystems in a single, uniform way. Some impacts, most notably losses of native plant diversity caused by invasive plant species, are persistent and intensify with time, while others, such as shifts in soil carbon and nutrients, often fade as invasions age. These results help clarify when environmental managers should act fast to prevent damage and where patient monitoring is wiser.
