Telehealth Services could end unless Congress acts

When the Trump administration loosened telemedicinei restrictions for Medicare patients in March 2020, the move was seen as temporary.

The COVID-19 pandemic was in its early days.

Making it easier for seniors to seek care virtually — whether through a video conference or an old-fashioned phone call — seemed like a straightforward way to maintain access during a crisis.

Five years later, telehealth has become an integral part of our nation's healthcare infrastructure. In many cases, it can be a more convenient, lower-cost, and equally effective alternative to in-person care.

Lawmakers have heard as much from their constituents --- and have extended Medicare's telehealth flexibilities repeatedly, most recently through the American Relief Act, which was signed into law in December of 2024. Click here to read more.

 

Michigan lawmaker asks for $25 million taxpayer money for invisible group

Rep. Cynthia Neeley, D-Flint, has submitted a $25 million earmark request from Michigan’s next budget for an organization that has no physical presence, IRS recognition or online footprint.

“This $25 million capital and program investment will support the redevelopment of a major community facility to serve inner city K-12 grade students of color and adult learners who need GED services including coaching and mentoring,” Neeley wrote in her request.

A search of the IRS database for tax-exempt organizations shows no record for MYhub Life Empowerment Center. A search of Michigan’s business registry also returned no results, suggesting that the entity is not registered in the state.

“The project does not violate Article IV, Section 30 of the Michigan Constitution, as it serves a demonstrable public purpose,” the request form states. Click here to read more.

 

DC Police falsified crime data

DC Fraternal Order of Police chairman Gregg Pemberton said in July that Metropolitan Police Department leaders pressure officers to falsify data and artificially deflate crime statistics

After President Donald Trump announced a federal crackdown on lawlessness in Washington, D.C., mainstream media outlets and Democratic politicians claimed violent crime in the nation’s capital has "fallen sharply" and has reached a "30-year low." Their claims, though, rest on questionable police data that local leaders are accused of falsifying to play down the city's violent crime problem. The Metropolitan Police Department recently suspended a commander for allegedly manipulating that data, a fact the mainstream reports excluded.

Politico reported Monday that "crime in Washington hit a 30-year low last year" despite the president "declaring a public safety emergency in the District" and attempting to "cast the city as dangerous. Click here to read more.

 

ICE Agents Arrest Illegal Alien Convicted Killers, Child Abusers, Rapists

On the same day an illegal alien MS-13 gang member was sentenced to life in prison without parole for raping and murdering Rachel Morin, a mother of five children, in Maryland, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested convicted killers, child abusers, and rapists.

“Just yesterday, Rachel Morin’s murderer — an illegal alien from El Salvador — was convicted and sentenced to life in prison without parole. The same day, ICE arrested a murderer, pedophiles, and sexual predators,” the Department of Homeland Security’s Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement:

ICE law enforcement is working around the clock to protect Americans from vile criminals who should have never been in our country in the first place. Yesterday’s arrests are yet another example of how President Trump and Secretary Noem continue to prioritize Americans over criminal illegal aliens. [Emphasis added]

Among those illegal aliens arrested by ICE agents are 69-year-old Gabriel Figueroa-Gama of Mexico and 50-year-old Rodolfo Sagastume-Avolos of Guatemala. Click here to read more.

 

3 things teachers unions don’t want teachers to know

Thousands of Illinois teachers have opted out of their unions in recent years.

But union myths keep many teachers from knowing the truth about how their unions spend money and what it means to opt out of membership.

Here are three things unions don’t want their members to know:

  1. Teachers unions admit in their own federal filings to spending little on representing teachers.

  2. Employers must treat everyone the same, regardless of union membership.

  3. Government unions wrote the laws that require them to represent all workers, so their claims of “free riders” are false.

Interested in opting out? Read on for information the union doesn’t want you to know.

Michigan High School Students depicts Charlie Kirk murder during school
School district is investigating

LIVONIA, Mich. — Livonia Public Schools says administrators at Churchill High School took action after becoming aware of a student’s reported depiction of the killing of Charlie Kirk.

According to information provided to Keeping it Real, a student reportedly arrived at Churchill High School dressed to depict Kirk being killed, including what appeared to be fake blood running down the student’s neck.

The incident raised questions about how the school responded and whether the depiction violated district policies.

A photograph of the student in the costume was subsequently posted to a non- affiliated

Churchill Instagram account, with the song “We Are Charlie Kirk.”

I have obtained a copy of the photo, but due to its disturbing nature, I have chosen not to publish it.

Keeping it Real contacted school officials seeking an explanation of what happened and how administrators handled the situation.

Stacy Jenkins, administrator of district communications, said Churchill High School officials learned about the situation at the beginning of the school day and acted quickly.

 

“Churchill High School administration was made aware of the situation at the start of the school day and swiftly addressed it with the student involved,” Jenkins said.

Jenkins acknowledged that the depiction was inappropriate.

“While we cannot prevent every poor choice a student may make, we can ensure that inappropriate behavior is addressed when our administration becomes aware — that is exactly what occurred in this situation,” Jenkins said. “The depiction was inappropriate and did not align with our expectations for student behavior.”

The district’s response does not specify what action was taken involving the student or whether disciplinary measures were imposed.

The incident comes amid heightened concerns about how schools handle depictions or references to real-world political violence, particularly when they involve students.

Michigan pays out smaller portion of pothole damage claims

Michigan drivers who traverse state highways often incur vehicle damage from potholes. Many of Michigan’s roads tend to be riddled with potholes that blow out tires, crack windshields and break suspensions.

Some drivers seek state compensation, but only about 12% of those people received it last year, according to a document that Michigan Capitol Confidential obtained via a records request.

Michigan paid 10 out of 86 claims for pothole-related damages in 2025, totaling $4,844, according to the Michigan Department of Transportation.

Those 10 people who received compensation from the state claimed damages caused by potholes on I-75, I-96, US-12, M-77, M-89, Saginaw Street, Plymouth Road, and Fort Street. Click here to read more.


 

Trump Asks SCOTUS to Permit Voter Verification System Ahead of Midterms

On Tuesday, Solicitor General John Sauer wrote to SCOTUS asking the justices to stay an order from Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, appointed to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia by former President Joe Biden.

In June, Sooknanan issued an order preventing the government from using an updated Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program. The updates greatly streamlined the process for states to purge voter rolls of ineligible voters.

According to Sauer, Sooknanan’s order is “indefensible” and “threatens the integrity of upcoming elections by vacating the federal government’s authority to internally use Social Security data when fulfilling its duty to respond to requests by States to verify the citizenship of individuals for voting and other purposes.”

“The order will irreparably harm the federal government, the States, and the public by depriving the government of an effective tool to verify the eligibility of registered voters and benefits applicants under various state and federal programs,” Sauer writes to SCOTUS. Click here to read more.

Florida blocks 10 CDL training schools after federal regulators remove them from registry

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida education officials are blocking 10 commercial driver training schools from recruiting new students or collecting tuition after federal regulators removed the providers from a national registry as part of a crackdown on commercial driver training.

The Florida Department of Education announced Tuesday that it is taking action against the 10 schools following their removal from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s Training Provider Registry.

Through the Commission for Independent Education, the state ordered affected licensed programs to immediately stop advertising, recruiting, enrolling new students and collecting tuition while their federal removal remains in effect.

The schools must also identify students who have been affected, provide refunds where required and report to the state on corrective actions and communications with federal regulators. Click here to read more.
