A New York nursing home is suing the Trump administration to stop the government from recouping alleged Medicare overpayments.
That facility is co-owned by the man nominated by the Trump administration to be ambassador to Hungary.

Erika Kirk wearing Serena Joy's uniform seems very appropriate.
I'm so ready for the matriarchy.
Greystar, the nation’s largest landlord, which we’ve been investigating since 2022, agreed to stop using algorithmic rent-setting software that federal prosecutors say could violate laws against price-fixing.
A big step backwards.
Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything."
For once, I believe him.
Even if the Senate voted to extend ACA subsidies, the GOP-controlled House is unlikely to allow a vote on them.
And there's of course no guarantee that Trump would even go along with a deal.
The cruel irony is that this will end up hurting Republican states the most.
A 1-year-old girl was pepper-sprayed through the window of a moving vehicle by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Chicago. She was briefly hospitalized.
From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.
The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

I was a state child support enforcement officer for 7 yrs. Disturbing how common his attitude was. Guarantee he will make another baby and refuse to support it too.
Probably because the court doesn't do that. There is a child support agency in every state that handles this. Unless he works under the table which wouldn't shock me
THE STRAITS TIMES Bullies need not apply: South Korean university applicants rejected for school violence records Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox All universities in South Korea will be required to factor school violence records into admissions beginning in 2026.

SEOUL - For generations of South Korean students, college admission has been more than an academic milestone. It has been the gateway to social mobility, job stability and lifelong status. Now, in an unprecedented shift in education policy, flagship national universities across the country, including its most prestigious Seoul National University, have begun rejecting applicants with records of school violence. According to data obtained by minor Rebuilding Korea Party's lawmaker Representative Kang Kyung-sook's office, six of South Korea's 10 national flagship universities turned away 45 applicants in the 2025 admissions cycle due to records of school violence.
The rejections included two applicants to Seoul National University and 22 to Kyungpook National University. Kyungpook introduced a strict, point- based penalty system for assessing disciplinary history this year. The trend will become a new normal - all universities in the country will be required to factor school violence records into admissions beginning in 2026. "This is just the beginning," one admissions officer said. "The bar is rising and (school violence aggressors) are expected to take more responsibility."
I really hope this trend keeps up.
Federal agents drive off with a lone toddler of **U.S. citizens*** Return the child abused, bruised on the face and neglected. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social is clear, this is just the beginning of this story. As he reports - this began during the first Trump administration.
Monstrous. Criminal

May he be mercilessly defeated before he dies so it is the last thing he sees.
Phillip Lewis, a 72-year-old cancer patient, said he was woken up and marched outside his home in his robe and underwear before federal officers even checked his ID.
He was not, it turned out, the man they were looking for.

EVERY SINGLE JOURNALIST SHOULD KEEP ASKING THIS ONE QUESTION.
OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
But what if he doesn't comply after that?
Well the next step would be for every day he doesn't comply, the Judge could take away one of Trump's Golf Resorts.
A friend of mine asked me "What if Trump doesn't comply with the Judge's order to release the Snap funds.
I said that Trump would be in Contempt of the Court.
My friend said how could he make him comply
I said the Judge could start by taking away Trump's golf clubs.
Today, Members of Congress got their paycheck unless (as I did) they wrote a letter to the House saying to withhold the pay pending the shutdown.
Meanwhile, Congressional staffers went without pay today.
Every member should answer whether they took the paycheck while their staff got nothing.

Happy Halloween from the Pacific Northwest:
In Portland, a Trump supporter who had previously been issued a restraining order is now threatening protesters with a gun once again.
