AP News NEW YORK (AP) — A New York judge on Monday upheld a Long Island county's law banning transgender women from playing on female sports teams at county-run parks and recreational facilities.

CDC stops recommending COVID-19 shots for all, leaves decision to patients

AP News NEW YORK (AP) — The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention adopted recommendations by a new group of vaccine advisers, and stopped recommending COVID-19 shots for anyone — leaving the choice up to patients.
