Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 07:31:04 GMT

Worcester County District Attorney Joseph Early Jr. said Tuesday that he’s still confident the case surrounding the death of Molly Bish will be solved now 20 years after her remains were discovered in Palmer. The teenager was last seen being dropped off at her lifeguarding job at a pond in Warren in 2000. Her disappearance then sparked a massive search and an ensuing investigation. While the circumstances of her death remain unsolved, Early said this week that the search for her killer is still active.“As years go by, time becomes your friend,” he said. “Relationships end, people die. When things like that happen, you tend to get more calls.”Early said his office has received thousands of tips about what happened to Molly 23 years ago.

Most importantly, spiritually.“Reverse all of my injuries throughout my history. I succeeded at that. Just treatment, taking little parts of my body, sleep, refining everything, overall well-being, everything, just becoming a better version of myself.”The Jets signed Lawson in 2021, coach Robert Saleh’s first year with the team.

Next stop, mandatory minicamp.The voluntary portion of the Ravens’ offseason came to a close Tuesday with organized team activities. Coach John Harbaugh said that he expects everyone to be at the team’s facility in Owings Mills for next week’s required three-day camp, and that presumably includes running back J.K. Dobbins.Last week, the 2020 second-round draft pick sent out a series of cryptic tweets expressing, among other things, his love for the Ravens and a desire to finish his career in Baltimore before adding “IDK tho sadly,” which he later deleted.Dobbins, 24, is entering the final year of his rookie contract and was absent from the entirety of the Ravens’ voluntary offseason program. The last time he spoke to the media, nearly five months ago following an AFC wild-card-round loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, he expressed his displeasure with his lack of carries in that game.That included a critical fourth-quarter play near the goal line on w...

As Medicaid purge begins, ‘staggering numbers’ of Americans lose coverage

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 07:31:04 GMT

Hannah Recht | (TNS) KFF Health NewsMore than 600,000 Americans have lost Medicaid coverage since pandemic protections ended on April 1. And a KFF Health News analysis of state data shows the vast majority were removed from state rolls for not completing paperwork.Under normal circumstances, states review their Medicaid enrollment lists regularly to ensure every recipient qualifies for coverage. But because of a nationwide pause in those reviews during the pandemic, the health insurance program for low-income and disabled Americans kept people covered even if they no longer qualified.Now, in what’s known as the Medicaid unwinding, states are combing through rolls and deciding who stays and who goes. People who are no longer eligible or don’t complete paperwork in time will be dropped.The overwhelming majority of people who have lost coverage in most states were dropped because of technicalities, not because state officials determined they no longer meet Medicaid income limits.

OTTAWA — Global News and its parent company Corus Entertainment say in response to a lawsuit filed by Han Dong that their reporting about the Toronto MP was based on a detailed investigation involving multiple sources.Dong’s lawyers served the media company with a libel notice in March and called for a full apology and retraction for what they described as “false, malicious, irresponsible and defamatory statements” about him.Global had published a story that month citing unidentified sources who alleged Dong told a Chinese diplomat in February 2021 that releasing Canadians Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, who at the time were detained in China, would benefit the federal Conservatives.Dong resigned from the Liberal caucus after the report was published, saying he wanted to focus on clearing his name, and foreign interference watchdog David Johnston concluded in his recent report that the allegation in the story was “false.” Johnston’s report foun...
