By MATTHEW PERRONE (AP Health Writer) WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials granted full approval to a closely watched Alzheimer’s drug on Thursday, clearing the way for Medicare and other insurance plans to begin covering the treatment for people with the brain-robbing disease. The Food and Drug Administration endorsed the IV drug, Leqembi, for patients with mild dementia and other symptoms caused by early Alzheimer’s disease. It’s the first medicine that’s been convincingly shown to modestly slow the cognitive decline caused by Alzheimer’s. Japanese drugmaker Eisai received conditional approval...

Belarus says Wagner chief who staged mutiny is in Russia, raising questions about Kremlin’s strategy

By ANNA FRANTS (Associated Press) MINSK, Belarus (AP) — The mercenary leader who led a short-lived mutiny against the Kremlin is in Russia and his troops are in their field camps, the president of Belarus said Thursday, raising new questions about the deal that ended the extraordinary challenge to President Vladimir Putin’s rule. Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko’s claim could not be independently verified, and the Kremlin refused to comment on Yevgeny Prigozhin’s whereabouts. But Russian media have reported he was recently seen at his offices in St. Petersburg. It was not clear if Prigozhin’s...

Josef Martinez’s bicycle kick leads Inter Miami to second consecutive draw

FORT LAUDERDALE — Independence Day fireworks filled the sky around DRV PNK Stadium Tuesday night, but they could’ve used some more pink and black to celebrate Josef Martinez’s jaw-dropping goal. The second half substitute scored the equalizer in the 90th minute on a bicycle kick to force an Inter Miami 2-2 draw against the Columbus Crew. It may have been the goal of his career, which is saying something for someone who is now tied for ninth all-time in career MLS goals. Inter Miami interim coach Javier Morales said at Monday’s training that he was unsure if he’d bench Martinez in favor of forward...

A sweet slice of history: Florida Keys celebrate 200th birthday with giant Key lime pie

BIG PINE KEY — Partying never gets old in the Florida Keys — especially for a milestone birthday like No. 200. The Florida Keys celebrated its bicentennial Monday along the Gulf of Mexico with a Key lime pie more than 13 feet in diameter — which organizers intend to certify as a world record. The festivities marked the anniversary of the Florida Territorial Legislature’s establishment of Monroe County on July 3, 1823 and celebrated its history. The county contains all of the Keys and a portion of Everglades National Park. During the Civil War, Key West remained in Union hands as a base for a...

Legitimacy of ‘customer’ in Supreme Court gay rights case raises ethical, legal flags

By ALANNA DURKIN RICHER and COLLEEN SLEVIN (Associated Press) A Christian graphic artist who the Supreme Court said can refuse to make wedding websites for gay couples pointed during her lawsuit to a request from a man named “Stewart” and his husband-to-be. The twist? Stewart says it never happened. The revelation has raised questions about how Lorie Smith’s case was allowed to proceed all the way to the nation’s highest court with such an apparent misrepresentation and whether the state of Colorado, which lost the case last week, has any legal recourse. It has served as another distraction...
