A 45-year-old Republican candidate in Iowa is being sued by his parents for $275,000 in unpaid rent. The Des Moines Register reported that the parents of lieutenant governor nominee Derek Wulf allege that he stopped paying rent two years ago on the farmland he rented out from them. A court petition filed Tuesday demands repayment and also accuses him of lying about his assets in financial documents to a lender. While Wulf has yet to comment, his Trump"endorsed running mate, gubernatorial nominee Zach Lahn, denied that Wulf owes his parents any money at all"and insinuated that the conflict was spurred by the poor health of Wulf's father. Wulf's parents rejected that, calling the claim "categorically false."
President Donald Trump showed up Friday with a fresh bruise on his left temple, on top of bruising on both hands, and the sight set off new speculation about his health, the Daily Beast reported. The mark stretched from his cheekbone up toward his eyebrow. It appeared in photos from his remarks to reporters outside the White House and from his arrival in Fort Myers, Florida, where Gov. Ron DeSantis met him ahead of a midterm rally. It wasn't on his right temple, and it wasn't in pictures from Thursday when he left for an Iowa rally. The 80-year-old's hands were covered in beige makeup.
Most of the U.S. economy's reported job gains for 2025 disappeared after revisions, Steve Rattner said in a post on X on Thursday, drawing attention to the gap between the initial payroll estimates and the latest figures. The economy added just 116K jobs in 2025, down from the 1.21M initially reported, a reduction of about 90%, according to the chart Rattner shared. The chart also showed 2024 payroll gains revised down to 1.46M from 2.59M, a 44% reduction. For January through September 2026, gains were revised to 612K from 730K, a decline of 16%.

Four years after North Texas home builder Scott Sherman completed a federal prison sentence for mortgage fraud, his new construction materials business received a $600,000 cash infusion. The financial boost came from a blind trust set up to prevent Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and his wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton, from any overlap in their personal investments and their actions as elected officials. But previously unreleased records from the attorney general's 2023 impeachment investigation show the trust was far from blind and did not shield the Paxtons from its business dealings, including the investment in Sherman's business. Before long, Wildcatter Sand Services and Grayson County Sand and Gravel, which Sherman built with his father, grew into a vast enterprise with various locations and subsidiaries. And along the way, some of those businesses stopped paying taxes to local governments, including school districts.
