Parent Dreads Grocery Store Cancer Fundraiser Amid Child's Recovery

A Washington Post advice column highlights a parent’s distress over a local grocery chain’s annual pediatric cancer fundraiser. The store staff approach shoppers with a $5 donation request for a coupon book, often persisting if the customer declines. For a parent whose six-year-old is nearing remission, this annual solicitation triggers painful memories of 'very dark' times, making routine shopping trips emotionally taxing.

Rochester family leans on local charity during toddler's leukemia battle

In Rochester, 2-year-old Kate Matteson was diagnosed with a rare form of pediatric leukemia and, after treatment at Golisano Children’s Hospital, is in remission. The family credits C.U.R.E. Childhood Cancer Association for practical support—food and parking vouchers and gifts—that eased the burden. Local efforts, including Monroe County Undersheriff Korey Brown’s 5K-a-days fundraiser (which has raised over $50,000 for C.U.R.E.) and a supporting golf tournament, continue to help families facing childhood cancer in the community.

GOP expands ActBlue inquiry over alleged foreign donations

House Republicans say their ActBlue investigation is far from over after a Fox News Digital report raised questions about foreign donations and verification, pledging more documents and testimony in the coming weeks. The probe has highlighted memos suggesting red flags on donors and admissions by ActBlue staff, with ten employees/board members invoking the Fifth Amendment during depositions. ActBlue denies wrongdoing and points to its own statements that foreign-donation issues are not evidenced, while House committees vow continued oversight and potential actions amid partisan clash over motive.

Trump’s Kennedy Center push exposes a hunger for personal glory and fundraising leverage

Ex-fundraiser: Harris courted Biden donors days before his exit

A former Democratic fundraiser, Lindy Li, claims Kamala Harris hosted donor calls and told top Biden backers there was no daylight between Biden and Harris while allegedly auditioning for their support, effectively courting donors to back her if Biden dropped out. Li says it was a calculated move to position Harris for a future bid, with donors reportedly skeptical of her stance; Biden announced he would withdraw in July 2024, and Harris swiftly moved to shore up support, a portrayal Harris’s team did not comment on.

Pledges surge for lone juror in Lindsay Clancy mistrial

A GiveSendGo fundraiser for the lone holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy’s mistrial has raised about $85,000 toward security, legal costs, and missed wages, despite reports of the juror’s past domestic-violence allegations and an active restraining order. Clancy’s trial ended in a hung jury after 11 of 12 jurors found not guilty by reason of temporary insanity; she remains in a state psychiatric facility with a Sept. 29 hearing scheduled.

Kennedy Center could shut immediately as bankruptcy looms and Trump-linked fundraising plan surfaces

Kennedy Center officials warn of imminent bankruptcy and say the main building could close immediately to allow a multi-hundred-million-dollar renovation. Trustees will vote on two resolutions: one to raise funds with public credit to President Trump, and another to shutter the main building for safety and construction, though the Reach expansion would stay open. Structural and corrosion issues, plus a ceiling plaster failure, underpin the urgency, highlighting Trump’s name as leverage in fundraising while legal questions about the renaming linger.

Dallas GOP Convention Sparks Trump-Centered Midterm Push

Republicans staged a two-night convention in Dallas framed around Donald Trump, with Trump delivering keynote addresses and a slate of GOP leaders and candidates, aiming to energize the midterm effort; organizers expect about 30,000 attendees and pitched the event as a ticketed fundraiser with packages ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars, while Democrats argued the party is out of touch amid rising costs. Trump forecast oil prices would fall after the election, and while some lawmakers skipped the event, many MAGA-aligned candidates were set to speak as the party spotlighted tax cuts, border security and other priorities.
