Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:09:17 GMT

California lost 817,669 residents to other states in 2022.No state had a larger outflow of its population to other parts of the nation, according to Census Bureau data. New York was No. 2 with 545,598 exits, followed by Texas (494,077), Florida (489,905) and Illinois (344,027).So where did ex-Californians move to in 2022? And how did that flow change over the year?Location. Location. Location.Texas was the No. 1 spot for ex-Californians with 102,442 relocations. Then came Arizona (74,157), Florida (50,701), Washington (49,968) and Nevada (48,836).The least popular states included Delaware, which snared only 660 Californians, followed by Vermont (855), West Virginia (879), Rhode Island (919) and South Dakota (957).Consider these moves as a share of a state’s population. Or, thinking about the flow another way: What are the odds someone would meet a new California transplant in another state?Nevada has the highest concentration of former Californians in the Exiting Class of 2022...

Audit: Security breach, staffing concerns contributed to ‘unsatisfactory’ accountability from Md. Medicaid agency

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:09:17 GMT

Another audit within a branch of the Maryland Department of Health reveals years of “unsatisfactory” record-keeping that may have resulted in millions of Medicaid dollars improperly paid out for people who did not qualify and a lack of program oversight to ensure that people received adequate health care services, according to a Tuesday report from the Office of Legislative Audits.The audit raised several concerns out of the Medical Care Programs Administration, which largely oversees the implementation of Medicaid in the state, from August 2018 through March 2022, during the administration of former Gov. Larry Hogan (R). The audit evaluated how the agency monitored the low-income federal health care assistance program.“We determined that MCPA’s accountability and compliance level was unsatisfactory, in accordance with the rating system we established in conformity with State law,” the audit concluded.This audit comes just days after the state Departmen...

London police clash with counter-protesters as tensions rise over a pro-Palestinian peace march

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:09:17 GMT

LONDON (AP) — Palestinian supporters marched peacefully through central London on Saturday, even as right-wing counter-protesters clashed with police, after a week of angry debate over whether to permit the demonstration on a day when Britain honored its war dead.The day unfolded in a backdrop of tensions fueled by Home Secretary Suella Braverman who earlier this week characterized pro-Palestinian demonstrations as “hate marches” and called for Saturday’s event to be blocked out of respect for Armistice Day events marking the end of World War I.The skirmishes between police and counter-protesters carrying the Union flag of Great Britain and the red-and-white flag of England appeared to confirm the concerns that Braverman’s comments would attract right-wing elements looking for an excuse to confront the pro-Palestinian marchers.The march was apparently the largest in London since the start of the conflict, with hundreds of thousands snaking through the city from Hyde Park to the U.S....

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:09:17 GMT

WOLVERHAMPTON, England (AP) — Wolverhampton scored twice in stoppage time to beat Tottenham 2-1 in the Premier League on Saturday, handing Spurs back-to-back losses for the first time this season.Mario Lemina struck in the 97th-minute after Pablo Sarabia had evened the score six minutes earlier at Molineux Stadium.The visitors led from Brennan Johnson’s goal after just three minutes and were poised to regain first place from Manchester City.Instead, new manager Ange Postecoglou’s team remained one point behind the defending champions after having gone unbeaten in the first 10 games of the season.Tottenham lost 4-1 to Chelsea on Monday after having two players sent off. The game at Molineux was going to be a test of its character and Johnson’s early goal was the perfect response.Sarabia evened the score when he controlled Matheus Cunha’s cross and volleyed a left-footed shot past Guglielmo Vicario at the near post.For the winner, Sarabia was the provider with an inc...

Maryland-based immigrant rights group scrambles to save political, financial support

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:09:17 GMT

These should be heady times for CASA, the immigrants’ rights group based in Langley Park.The organization just finalized its new strategic plan, and canvassers from CASA’s political unit were on the ground in Virginia for the past few weeks, contributing to the Democrats’ significant victories in legislative races. CASA helped muscle through groundbreaking rent control legislation in Montgomery County earlier this year, and the state Senate committee chair who tucked a piece of health care legislation in her desk drawer last spring that was a priority for the group has just left the legislature.But instead of celebrating these developments, CASA, the biggest and most consequential immigrants’ rights group in the Mid-Atlantic, finds itself on its heels this week, and facing suggestions that it could lose a substantial amount of its political support — not to mention public and private funding.The crisis emerged after the group’s leaders released a statement and social media posts ove...
