By Patrick Clark and Jennifer Epstein | Bloomberg Zillow Group is setting new rules for marketing properties on its websites and apps, escalating a fight between the online real estate company and brokerage giant Compass over how US homes are sold. Sellers’ agents wanting to market their properties on Zillow’s sites must follow a new standard requiring that the listings be available widely, according to a statement issued April 10. If a for-sale home is online and hasn’t been posted to a multiple-listing service within 24 hours, that listing will be banned from Zillow. The new rule, slated to take…
By ALANNA DURKIN RICHER, MARK SHERMAN and MICHAEL KUNZELMAN, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge’s ruling that the Trump administration appears to have willfully violated his order to turn around planes of migrants headed for El Salvador increases the prospect of officials being held in criminal contempt of court and potentially facing possible prosecution. U.S. District Judge James Boasberg said in his ruling on Wednesday that probable cause exists to hold the administration in contempt over its defiance of his order in the case involving migrants sent to a notorious El Salvador prison. The judge is giving the…
ARLINGTON, Texas — One of Jo Adell’s best tools still hasn’t shown up this season. Adell suffered a hip injury in the first weekend of the season, and he said on Wednesday that his running has been limited ever since. Last season Adell was in the 86th percentile in the majors for sprint speed, and this season he’s in the 31st. “Definitely getting close to how I want to (run), but we’re still being smart with how we’re playing it,” Adell said. “I’m competitive, man. I’m trying to win games, so it’s hard to get out there and not go…
Isael Hermosillo, a mediator negotiating labor contracts for California’s grocers, got bad news in the early hours of March 26, before he even had a chance to drop off his children at school near his Alhambra home. He got a text from his supervisor asking that he cancel work and jump onto a Zoom call by 9 a.m. That’s when Hermosillo learned that his job and much of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service agency were terminated. “That was my last day,” said the 13-year agency veteran. “Going from 130 mediators to five was not within the spectrum of what…
A budget reconciliation package that includes large cuts to Medicaid won’t have the support of Rep. Young Kim and at least 11 other House Republicans. The Republican dozen, in a letter to House leadership this week, said they support reforms to Medicaid but will not back any cuts to coverage for vulnerable populations or that would threaten hospitals, nursing homes and safety-net providers. “We cannot and will not support a final reconciliation bill that includes any reduction in Medicaid coverage for vulnerable populations,” they said. The letter — drawing a red line for a core group of Republicans, many of…
Former Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava is reportedly expected to transfer to UCLA, according to multiple reports. The news was first reported by The Athletic’s Bruce Feldman and David Ubben. Sports personality Colin Cowherd also said in a post on X that Iamaleava is going to UCLA. “Family claims it’s NOT about the (money bag emoji),” Cowherd posted. “It’s about the (Tennessee) offense. I was not told what the Bruins are paying.” Iamaleava entered the transfer portal Wednesday, with some reports about a failed attempt to finalize negotiations with Tennessee regarding his NIL compensation package. Last week, Iamaleava did not appear…
By MAE ANDERSON NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — China-founded e-commerce sites Temu and Shein say they plan to raise prices for U.S. customers starting next week, a ripple effect from President Donald Trump’s attempts to correct the trade imbalance between the world’s two largest economies by imposing a sky-high tariff on goods shipped from China. Temu, which is owned by the Chinese e-commerce company PDD Holdings, and Shein, which is now based in Singapore, said in separate but nearly identical notices that their operating expenses have gone up “due to recent changes in global trade rules and tariffs.” Both companies said…
By AMANDA SEITZ WASHINGTON (AP) — Health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. warned that children in the U.S. are being diagnosed with autism at an “alarming rate,” promising on Wednesday to conduct exhaustive studies to identify any environmental factors that may cause the developmental disorder. His call comes the day after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a report that found an estimated 1 in 31 U.S. children have autism, a marked increase from 2020. Autism experts applaud efforts to further understand the condition, but say the number of reported cases began to balloon as the definition of…
By Biz Carson | Bloomberg Markets In San Francisco’s financial district, the One Montgomery building evokes the opulence of America’s turn of the 20th century gilded age. With its Tuscan columns, marble staircases and bronze doors, the Renaissance Revival landmark once housed Crocker Bank, named after one of the tycoons who built the western portion of America’s first transcontinental railroad. These days, the property exemplifies the city’s shifting fortunes: Ghazi Shami, chief executive officer of the record label Empire, bought it in January for $22.5 million, more than 70% below its selling price only six years before. Ghazi grew up…
By DAVID BAUDER, AP Media Writer The Associated Press says that a new White House media policy violates a court order by giving the administration sole discretion over who gets to question President Donald Trump, and the news agency asked a federal judge on Wednesday to enforce that order. The swift move was in response to a policy issued late Tuesday by the White House, which suffered a courtroom loss last week over The Associated Press’ ability to cover Trump. The plans, the latest attempt by the new administration to control coverage of its activities, sharply curtail the access of…
