For over a month, my office has been going back and forth with ICE officials about Andrea's condition. We have been ignored, put off, and frankly, lied to about the treatment she has received while in detention.

Asia Carrera, whose real name is Jessica Steinhauser, graduated from St. Mary's Law in 2024 and cleared the Texas bar exam after a previous near miss by just two points.

"Today's plea means the defendant has been held accountable for a calculated scheme that siphoned off nearly $10 million from the very employers who trusted her."

James Heaps, 70, pleaded guilty to 13 felonies, including multiple counts of sexual penetration of an unconscious person, and must register as a sex offender for life.

The defendant accepted illegal proceeds while being aware of circumstances indicating their connection to drug-related offenses. The judge noted the severe social harm caused by narcotics crimes and the need for strict punishment.

Eight individuals were arrested and 15 charged in a scheme to defraud Medicare of over $50 million by running sham hospice facilities across Southern California. Federal officials described the actions as brazen efforts to commit fraud, with many billed patients not being terminally ill.

The family is faced with the challenge of appointing a decision-making representative for their mother, who has dementia, without a prior power of attorney in place.

'The cousin is slipping mentally and I think they were put under pressure by other relatives who stand to benefit' Query: Dear Mary Frances, I'm in a very difficult situation with my wider family and don't know what to do. An elderly cousin of mine, a farmer, has been in a nursing home for quite some time. Their farm is rented out and I was put in charge of their finances, managing the rent of the farm to a neighbour, who has taken good care of it.

Industry lawsuits quickly blocked most of the regulation, with two federal courts ruling that Medicare exceeded its authority. Following the 2024 elections, Congress barred implementation of the standards before 2034. Last month, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) repealed the rule entirely. Hunter called the move devastating with advocates saying it signals a retreat from oversight. It's clear (CMS) has no interest in ensuring adequate staffing, said Sam Brooks of the National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care.

I was considering retiring after I turned 80, but the cost of geriatric care is high. My sister and ex-wife both require care. My sister is in full-time memory care, and my ex-wife has needed more care over the past two years after a dementia diagnosis, so I decided to keep working. I'm trying to help support them, whether it's paying the care facility directly or paying them to provide some support or outside nurses.
