Long-term care advocates speak out on regulatory rollbacks

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 Last month, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) repealed the rule entirely.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.

Why most corporate and tech chiefs are saying the bare minimum about events in Minneapolis

The corporate response to the Trump administration's immigration enforcement actions has been muted at best. After the killings of two U.S. citizens by federal law enforcement in Minneapolis, the CEOs of more than 60 Minnesota-based companies issued a carefully worded letter calling for "an immediate de-escalation of tensions." Target's incoming CEO Michael Fiddelke sent a video message to employees calling the events "incredibly painful."

What Minnesota Can Do Now

For many, one particular breakdown is a final, damning cause for despair: Minnesota's apparent inability to investigate and potentially prosecute the federal agents responsible. The Department of Homeland Security on Saturday reportedly blocked Minnesota officials from examining the scene of Alex Pretti's shooting. Access was refused even after state officials got a judicial search warrant. As a result, key forensic evidence was almost certainly lost. This comes after state officials were excluded from the investigation into Renee Good's death.
