PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — An Oregon judge is set to decide whether a gun control law approved by voters in November violates the state’s constitution in a trial scheduled to start Monday. Circuit Court Judge Robert S. Raschio will preside over the trial this week in Harney County, a vast rural area in southeastern Oregon. The ruling tossed aside a balancing test judges had long used to decide whether to uphold gun laws. The Supreme Court is expected to decide this fall whether some decisions have gone too far. In a separate federal case over the Oregon measure, a judge in July ruled it was lawful under the U.S. Constitution.

REUTERS/Leah MillisWASHINGTON, April 25 (Reuters) - The cast of American TV show "The L Word: Generation Q" visited the White House Tuesday to mark Lesbian Visibility Week, touting the role the long-running show has played for gay women and girls across the country.

☆ Pain relief from marijuana may come from believing it helps, study says

A 2020 study, for example, found using marijuana before entering the hospital for a surgical procedure made pain during recovery significantly worse. In fact, the optimistic attitude generated by a placebo can be powerful enough to affect study results dramatically. A unique part of the study looked at the role of news and social media for the placebo effect in cannabis clinical trials, Jensen said. Researchers found positive media coverage after each of the cannabis clinical trials, even when the study results were less than spectacular, she said. “I don’t think you can explain the placebo effect or blame it on social media.

☆ Clocks turn back this weekend, but the future of daylight saving time is far from settled

ET on Sunday, clocks in the U.S. will turn back one hour as daylight saving time ends, marking the beginning of winter's dark evenings. Sleep experts don't support year-round daylight saving timeIdeally, the sun should reach its highest point at noon, according to sleep experts. Then at night, daylight saving can lead people to go to bed later, which can delay the body’s production of melatonin. These cumulative health risks likely influenced Mexico’s Senate vote last week to eliminate daylight saving time there. The original argument for delaying daylight doesn't hold upThe U.S. first adopted daylight saving time in 1918 to save oil and electricity during World War I.

☆ A top Senate Democrat threatens to block US cooperation with Saudi Arabia as MBS deepens ties with Putin

Sen. Bob Menendez threatened to block cooperation with Saudi Arabia. Menendez went on to excoriate Saudi Arabia, OPEC's leading member, accusing it of helping "underwrite Putin's war through the OPEC+ cartel." The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia chose the latter in a terrible decision driven by economic self-interest," Menendez said. Relations between the US and Saudi Arabia have been on shaky ground for years, largely since the brutal 2018 murder of Jamal Khashoggi by agents of the Saudi government. On the campaign trail, President Joe Biden pledged to make Saudi Arabia a "pariah" over Khashoggi's murder.

☆ Everything you want to know as OPEC+ agrees to cut oil production

OPEC+ agreed to cut production. But the group — which includes Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Russia — agreed Wednesday to slash daily oil production by 2 million barrels, in a bid to send crude prices higher. But OPEC+ defended their decision, saying it was in response to "uncertainty that surrounds the global economic and oil market outlooks." At a news conference after the meeting, the Saudi energy minister added: "We would rather be pre-emptive than be sorry," the New York Times reports. The country's deputy prime minister, Alexander Novak, said the EU's plan could lead to Russia temporarily cutting oil production further — a move that would see crude prices rise, and gasoline follow.
