The Trump administration has started building the border wall in the Big Bend region of west Texas. This marks the first major construction in an area where the plans have faced heavy opposition. Customs and Border Protection has doubled the pace of construction along the U.S.-Mexico border. In the Big Bend region, landowners, environmental groups, and ranchers oppose the construction, arguing the area isn't a high-traffic zone for illegal immigration. The agency is building an average of 12 miles of barriers a week. Activists say they'll continue to fight against the wall-building plans.
President Donald Trump says he is banning CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House due to what he called unfavorable coverage. He threatened that more such prohibitions of media outlets could follow. Meanwhile, in-person voting for this year’s midterm elections is underway in Virginia, ushering in the final six weeks for Americans to decide which party they trust to lead Congress at a time of a cost-of-living crisis, a prolonged war in Iran and other pressing issues. Voters in Idaho, Minnesota and South Dakota, can cast absentee ballots in person.
President Donald Trump announced that all 50 states will join a program to provide Most Favored Nation pricing for some Medicaid drugs. The administration claims this plan, called the Medicaid “GENEROUS” model, will save billions on prescription drug costs. Last year, Trump signed an executive order to pay the same price for medications as the lowest-paying nation. The White House estimated these deals could save $529 billion over 10 years. However, details of the deals remain unclear, raising questions about the true savings. The announcement comes as cost-of-living issues are a major concern for voters.
An adult humpback whale has been spotted in California's largest river. A fisherman saw the whale surfacing on Wednesday while he was fishing from a boat that was less than half the length of the giant animal. He shot a few videos of the whale as it broke the surface of the water in the area of the Rio Vista Bridge, far from its typical home of the Pacific Ocean. The whale has since attracted the attention of scientists who want to know what kind of condition it's in and how it wound up so far from the sea.

President Donald Trump says he is barring CNN, MS NOW and Politico from the White House due to what he called unfavorable coverage, and threatens that more such prohibitions of media outlets could follow. Trump wrote on his social media site Friday that effective immediately, “I am banning” CNN, MS NOW and Politico “from the White House as a result of their constant ‘reporting’ FAKE NEWS!” It is the administration’s latest test of constitutional First Amendment protections.
The Jehovah’s Witnesses have partly eased their ban on the medical use of donated blood. Members can now receive products derived from blood, but transfusions of whole blood remain prohibited. The policy was announced Friday. It allows individuals to receive treatments involving plasma, platelets, and red and white blood cells. Members can also decide whether to donate blood for medical products. However, the organization continues to oppose whole blood transfusions and donations. Critics argue the ban has led to preventable deaths. The policy stems from their interpretation of Bible passages about abstaining from blood.
