A Seattle couple is suing after hospital staff in Oregon told them to drive the body of their nearly 9-month-old son four hours home in their private car following his sudden death in an emergency room. Aleksandr and Nataliya Yeremeyev filed a $10 million lawsuit against Salem Health and Dr. Stefani Sorensen. The parents had allegedly sought respectful and dignified care and transportation of the remains of their son, Michael, but the lawsuit alleges staff insisted they bring the body back home with them. Michael was born with Down syndrome and spent the first six months of his life at Seattle Children's Hospital . "His parents had made sure that he had received really excellent care. So, I think it was a really, really sad and just very tragic way for his life to end and for it to be so undignified right there at the end," Anna Bruckenhoefer, the family's attorney, said in a statement, according to Fox 13.

President Donald Trump 's ban on CNN, MS NOW and Politico suffered a setback Thursday after a federal judge ordered the administration to restore White House access to the outlets. U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly issued a temporary restraining order on Thursday blocking the ban on the outlets, ruling that their access to the White House must be reinstated while the outlets continue their legal battle, Reuters reported. The order will be in effect for 14 days.  MAMDANI TELLS TRUMP BANNED WHITE HOUSE OUTLETS ARE WELCOME AT NYC MEETING Trump announced the ban last week, writing on social media that the three outlets "shouldn't be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES." Reporters from all three organizations were subsequently denied entry to the White House, with their press credentials deactivated or confiscated. Lawyers for the Justice Department argued that White House press access is a privilege, not a right, and defended the president's authority...

A Tennessee man who was arrested in a pre-dawn raid after he filmed and criticized a police officer sued the police department alleging it violated his First Amendment right to free expression. The civil lawsuit against the city of Kingsport, its police chief and its officers was filed by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) in 2023 on behalf of Joshua Gibbons, but he is only now making the complaint public after he was successful in having his conviction overturned and the remaining charge dismissed by the Tennessee Court of Criminal Appeals. "They tried to intimidate me, but I’m not backing down," Gibbons said in a statement. "I can’t let this injustice stand, because my family doesn’t feel safe anymore. There’s no coming back from that raid on our home. They sent eight heavily armed officers to arrest me because I embarrassed them." In October 2022, Gibbons filmed a Kingsport Police Department SUV speeding at night without lights or sirens,...

As farmers across the country face rising costs, some are turning to tourism to bring in money beyond their traditional agricultural operations. At Lynette Ralph's horse ranch in Missouri, vacationers can spend the night in a small cabin, wake up to views of the horses and get a firsthand look at ranch life. Guests can explore the property, pet and feed the horses or pay extra for horsemanship and riding lessons. "You have access to the farm life, the horses, the barns," Ralph said. THE $1,600 LETTUCE: CALIFORNIA GROWERS WARN OF ‘MASTER PLAN’ STRANGLING FAMILY FARMS For Ralph, welcoming guests is about more than offering a unique getaway. The income from offering short-term vacation rentals on site has allowed her to keep her ranch operating. "If I didn't have the short-term rentals associated with the riding program, I would have to probably liquidate, sell the horses, sell the property," she said. Airbnb and American Farmland Trust are launching a new gra...

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier alleged that a teacher harassed and attempted to "cancel" an eighth-grade student and labeled him a "misogynist" over what Uthmeier described as the student's conservative political views. Uthmeier sent a letter to Sarasota County Schools' Superintendent Terry Connor and the school board over allegations that a Pine View School history teacher, Liz Ballard, singled out the eighth grade student on multiple occasions over his political views. Ballard often brings up political topics during class despite the student telling her that his parents "expressly forbid" him from participating in the political discussions , according to the letter. The parents' demand was ignored and the teacher continued to hold political discussions, using the student as the "conservative perspective in the classroom," the attorney general said.
