Cloverleaf Apartments tenants outraged after deadline passes
SUMMARY: The Cloverleaf Apartments in Kansas City have reached a 48-hour deadline for tenants to vacate due to severe health and safety violations. Residents faced rampant mold, pests, and unhealthy living conditions. Many tenants, including Wendy Herd, reported dire circumstances, with some units abandoned and filled with trash, dead animals, and structural issues. The landlord, NB Affordable, faces federal charges for mismanagement and fraud. HUD stopped funding the complex due to these conditions and is aiding in tenant relocation. Councilman Johnathan Duncan has been actively supporting residents, asserting that the situation is unacceptable and demanding accountability for the landlord’s negligence.

Pope had coughing fit, inhaled vomit and his prognosis remains guarded, Vatican says
SUMMARY: Pope Francis, 88, experienced a setback in his battle against double pneumonia after a coughing fit led to him inhaling vomit, requiring non-invasive mechanical ventilation.
