My coworker's mother passed away last November. She left her modest $190,000 house to him clear and free, no mortgage, completely paid off after thirty years of factory work. He moved into the home in January to finally settle the estate. Two weeks ago, a letter arrived from the state Medicaid estate recovery office. Because his mother spent four months in a rehabilitation facility before she passed, the state quietly slapped a retroactive $114,000 lien against the property title. He called the state health department, frantic, asking how a hospital stay could bankrupt an inherited home that had no mortgage balance. The caseworker sighed and told him: "Federal law requires state programs to claw back healthcare costs from deceased estates. The house cannot be sold or transferred until the balance is cleared in full." He offered to pay a monthly settlement. They said no. The full $114,000 is due in 60 days, or they foreclose on the property at a public auction. A lifetime of working-class savings, wiped out overnight by a retroactive healthcare lien. You don't own generational wealth. You're just holding a property title until the state finds a legal mechanism to repossess it the moment you die.

Today, NFL star Azeez Al-Shaair honored Maryam Ghanem, a little girl from Gaza who was rescued from her burning house after watching both her parents burn to death following an Israeli airstrike. This marks five weeks of Azeez honoring Palestinian children. This marks five weeks of fines from the NFL. This marks five weeks of Azeez not caring about the fines. He has said that a human life is “priceless” compared to any financial penalty.

Pilar Sanders told a court Deion Sanders was worth $250 million. Her prenup capped her at $1 million. The agreement was signed on April 19, 1999. They married two days later. The terms: $100,000 for each year of marriage, capped at $1 million. Her own lawyer from 1999 testified she also received a $100,000 "signing bonus" to sign it. Deion filed for divorce in December 2011, after 12 years and three children. The court record: $24,000 a month in payments was what she asked for. $10,500 a month in child support plus $275,000 for her lawyers was what a judge ordered in May 2012. The child support was later cut to $2,500, then raised to $4,500. On October 24, 2012, Judge Ray Wheless ruled she signed the prenup voluntarily and told her lawyers not to bring the claim again. In March 2013, an arbitrator confirmed both of them signed it. On March 12, 2013, a jury voted 11 to 1 to give Deion sole conservatorship of their two sons. Her lawyers said parts of the prenup were forged, two pages were missing, and she signed under pressure. They wanted a handwriting expert to examine the original. When she put his net worth at $250 million in court, Deion laughed out loud. By then a judge had ordered her to stay 500 yards away from the house she had lived in. The case for Deion: she signed it, took the $100,000, and a judge and an arbitrator both upheld it. "This is greed. That's all it is," he said at the 2012 hearing. In 2013 he said, "It's not about the kids. It's about the money." The case for Pilar: 12 years, three children, and a fixed $1 million against a fortune she estimated at $250 million, set two days before the wedding. In the video below, in April 2012, she says: "I understand that I have very little chance at beating a Hall of Fame, two-sport man that everyone seems to love and adore." Should a prenup signed two days before the wedding still hold after 12 years and three children?

Here we go. We all knew this was coming. Trump is losing by historic margins so now they’ll cheat.

96 shots???????
Chicago cops fired 96 shots in 41 seconds during the stop that killed Dexter Reed. Police said he fired first, wounding an officer — but their explanation for stopping him shifted from a seatbelt violation to tinted windows. atlantablackstar.pulse.ly/tm…
