The DOJ charged 324 people in a massive $14.6B healthcare-fraud takedown involving telemedicine scams, fake genetic tests, unnecessary procedures, DME fraud, drug diversion, and Medicare identity theft. The sweep spans 50+ districts and nearly 100 medical professionals, highlighting how large-scale fraud drives up costs, harms patients, and erodes trust in the healthcare system.

A new Associated Press poll shows waning public concern about racial discrimination and growing skepticism of DEI. Fewer Americans believe Black and Asian people face high levels of bias compared to 2021, and less than half think DEI reduces discrimination.

Recent city ordinances restrict data sharing and expand legal aid for undocumented residents. Critics argue the policies compromise public safety, hinder law enforcement, and risk nearly $1B in federal grants amid Long Beach’s homelessness crisis and strained city resources.
