“A complete jump ball,” said Dennis Lennox, a Republican strategist who works in Michigan. “Nobody really knows what will happen.”Beyond the suburbs, Republicans see opportunities to peel off traditionally Democratic voters, like Black men. Now, many Lebanese American and Palestinian American voters in Michigan say they will not vote for Harris under any circumstance. And she signaled that she believes support for Harris from Republicans like Upton could be key to the race. “This is the center of the political universe, here in Michigan.”Alex Seitz-Wald reported from Camden, Maine; Henry Gomez reported from Detroit, Michigan.

Detroit Lions coach Dan Campbell said he's in the process of selling his family's suburban Motown home after amateur sleuths learned where they reside. "The home is beautiful,” Campbell told Crain’s Detroit Business, speaking about his family's now former pad. During the Lions' run to the NFC title game last season, they lost, 20-19, to the Dallas Cowboys on Dec. 30, 2023. In a typical Lions season, losing to the Cowboys would simply be called Sunday. "It was like handymen pretending to come do some work on their house," Crain told NBC News on Friday.

Tony Soprano puts a quarter into the jukebox to play “Don’t Stop Believin’” and orders onion rings for the table. A bell chimes every time a customer arrives, deepening Tony’s anxiety: Will the next person to walk through the door kill him? What happens next has kept fans guessing since the final scene of “The Sopranos” abruptly cut to black in 2007. It has also kept a few of them energized enough to bid tens of thousands of dollars to own the diner booth where the much-dissected sequence was shot. Holsten’s in Bloomfield, N.J., which is preparing for a renovation, put the burgundy booth and yellow Formica tabletop up for auction on eBay on Feb. 28.

Lesley and Johan Denekamp are keenly aware that now isn’t a great time to be selling real estate in central London. Nonetheless, in September, they went ahead and listed their 3,800-square-foot townhouse with Knight Frank, for $5 million. The couple are sick of waiting, having already sat out Brexit and the pandemic. “We don’t think we are going to live forever, and four million pounds is a lot of money to have tied up in a house we don’t really need,” said Johan Denekamp.

☆ Exclusive: Cigna explores shedding Medicare Advantage business -sources

Cigna is working with an investment bank to evaluate options for its Medicare Advantage business, which could fetch several billions of dollars in a potential divestment, the sources said. Cigna's Medicare Advantage business generated 4.4% of the company's $179.4 billion in revenue from external customers in 2022. Cigna also said profit margins in Medicare Advantage in 2023 continue to be below its long-term target of 4% to 5%, which it expected to remain the case in 2024. Cigna has said it expects changes to the government's star rating system, which informs some of the reimbursement decisions, will lead to a decrease in the rating of its Medicare Advantage business in payment-year 2024. Cigna said in September it would pay about $172 million to settle charges from U.S. prosecutors that it overcharged the Medicare Advantage program by making patients appear more ill than they actually were.

During its more than 500-year history, the White Lion Hotel has played many roles; as a coaching inn, a venue for upmarket balls and parties, a provincial theater, and now as a house. The driving force behind its latest incarnation as a family home is John Hensley, who bought the building 17 years ago, for about $291,000. The building stands in the small market town of Eye, which is in the county of Suffolk, about 100 miles east of central London.

For these reasons, it is hard to know exactly what your Social Security checks will look like years in advance. Every year, the government adjusts Social Security payouts for inflation—these are called cost-of-living adjustments, or COLA—so averages change, too. However, you can start taking Social Security anytime between ages 62 and 70. Whether or not you’ll owe taxes on your Social Security check is complicated, but more than half of Social Security recipients currently pay taxes on theirs. You can use the Social Security Administration’s Quick Calculator to get a rough idea of your payouts, or if you sign up for a My Social Security account, you’ll get an official estimate straight from the source.

Health insurance provider The Cigna Group will pay more than $172 million over claims it gave the federal government inaccurate Medicare Advantage diagnoses codes in order to inflate reimbursement. The case centered around allegations that Cigna violated the False Claims Act by submitting and not withdrawing “inaccurate and untruthful” codes, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. The department said in a statement Saturday that Cigna falsely certified in writing that its data was truthful. Medicare Advantage plans are privately run versions of the federal government’s Medicare program mainly for people 65 and older. That deal is designed to promote compliance with federal health program requirements.
