SEATTLE — A federal judge who previously ruled Google held an illegal monopoly over internet search traffic has curtailed the company's ability to enter into exclusive search contracts and will require it to share certain data with competitors under an order issued Tuesday.

SEATTLE – More than $21 million in funding for AmeriCorps service and volunteer programs in Washington has been secured as a result of a lawsuit filed by Attorney General Nick Brown and a multistate coalition.
The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) agreed Thursday to release over $184 million in funding for AmeriCorps service programs across the country, including $2.4 million designated for Washington for fiscal year 2025. OMB’s attempted cuts threatened the survival of those programs and the well-being of those who depend on them.
