For months, and sometimes longer, parents of kids with disabilities say they have waited for the Education Department to make progress on their complaints of bullying or other discrimination. Now that the department is offloading civil rights enforcement and special education, some parents and advocates warn a process that has largely been stalled since President Donald Trump took office will see only more chaos and roadblocks. “It’s to the point I don’t even check in anymore with the attorney,” said Nicole May, an Ohio mother. May filed a complaint in spring 2024 with the department’s Office for Civil Rights, alleging…

Two to three years ago, investors were telling startups that clinical coding would be fully automated by LLMs within a year — which didn’t quite turn out to be true. Healthcare’s revenue cycle has turned out to be stubbornly resistant to easy technological fixes, but AI can still make real progress, according to Lee Kupferman, Co-CEO of R1’s innovation lab. AI makes the most impact when it’s used to handle straightforward, high-volume work, freeing humans for the cases that actually need their expertise, Kupferman noted during an interview last week at HFMA’s annual conference in National Harbor, Maryland. For instance,…

NEW YORK (AP) — Not long ago, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was demonized by leaders of both political parties. Today, just six months after taking office, the 34-year-old democratic socialist’s political strength is surging. Always a darling of the far left, he has earned praise from both President Donald Trump and former Democratic critics like New York Gov. Kathy Hochul. He has emerged as the face of the region’s sports renaissance. And days before New York’s primary elections, Mamdani is testing the limits of his newfound political muscle in a bid to reshape the Democratic Party — in…

I’m joking, of course, but seriously — that was a sorry display. Toronto and Montreal played to expectation last week, but the Lions defence prevented a 2-0 week for the readers, which would have been a second-straight perfect slate to start the 2026 CFL season. B.C. enters Hamilton Stadium with the highest total since 1997, the inception of online betting. ↑ what lands at 3 p.m. daily 3DownNation Newsletter Latest…

WASHINGTON (AP) — JD Vance was supposed to be spending the week promoting his new book, the kind of event a potential presidential candidate like the vice president typically uses to speak to a wide audience about his life and values ahead of a campaign. Instead, the rollout of Vance’s second book, “Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith,” has been largely crowded out by something else he’s put his name on: the tentative deal to end the Iran war. The Republican vice president has embraced the role of chief defender of the agreement he and President Donald Trump signed…

It’s Week 3 in the Canadian Football League, which is a little funny because it’s the first time we have more than three games on the schedule. Yes, it’s time to celebrate with four games for us to pick from this week. Now, that being said, this is your reminder that we aren’t going to make a bet on each game in this piece each week. The oddsmakers need to set a line for every game, but we don’t need to make a play on every game. Our only edge is our ability to…

Ice Cube is bringing the pitch directly to the people, and the message couldn’t be simpler. The BIG3 founder dropped a quote on the league’s Instagram this week: “Own a piece of the game.” Bloomberg ran with it to a wider business audience. The call is clear – the 3-on-3 circuit Cube helped build is now actively courting outside investors for ownership stakes. This feels like a real moment for the league. BIG3 has been building since 2017. Cube and co-founder Jeff Kwatinetz didn’t throw this thing together on a whim. They set out to create a genuine home for…

With his two Knives Out films starring Daniel Craig, crime mastermind Rian Johnson has proven that he can conjure up suspense, tension, and complex crime plots as skillfully as a card cheat pulls aces. We’ve watched his new series Poker Face and are quite impressed. Poker Face: First Series From Knives Out Creator Rian Johnson The first episode begins with a thrilling twist : While cleaning the presidential suite, cleaning lady Natalie (Dascha Polanco, known from Orange Is the New Black) discovers highly compromising material.
