Trump administration warns over 500 hospitals to provide more price information or face fines
SUMMARY: The Trump administration has warned more than 500 hospitals that they are failing to provide the public with enough information about prices. And the administration argues the lack of disclosure is keeping healthcare costs higher than they should be. The Associated Press exclusively obtained the list of hospitals that have received letters on the issue since April. Failing to comply with the warnings comes with penalties as high as $2 million a year. The letters are part of a push to do more to enforce price transparency standards that President Donald Trump established in his first term. They come as Trump is trying to show people he's addressing cost of living concerns ahead of the November midterm elections.

New York's busiest train station to get $8 billion remodel with columns, sunlight and Trump's name
SUMMARY: Renderings of a dramatically redesigned Pennsylvania Station in New York City have been released by Amtrak and the developers. Images of the estimated $8 billion project were released Monday and show a return to hub’s original classical style, with a stone facade and rows of Roman-style columns. Inside, commuters are greeted by a sun-drenched grand concourse with soaring ceilings. There are bronze finishes and other ornamental details, like a bas-relief of the city’s famous skyline and a large, classic station clock. An interior wall near a entryway bears the seal of President Donald Trump.

Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs are undaunted on the road at the Knicks in the NBA Finals
SUMMARY: Playing on the road feels to Victor Wembanyama like having six players on the court against five but not in a bad way. Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs thrived in Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden and are undaunted by the hostile environment and the series deficit they face against the New York Knicks. They now get the chance to even things up in Game 4 on Wednesday night, with another intense crowd of nearly 20,000 fans trying to will their team to the verge of its first championship since 1973.

Knicks need a quick response from their 1st loss since April as the Spurs try to even the NBA Finals
SUMMARY: Last time the New York Knicks lost a game, they didn’t do it again for another month and a half. When they fell behind against Atlanta in the first round of the NBA playoffs, desperation turned into domination in a hurry. The Knicks won 13 straight games in one of the most impressive postseason stretches in league history. After dropping Game 3 of the NBA Finals, the Knicks don't need anything so dramatic now. With a 2-1 lead over the San Antonio Spurs, a 2-2 record the next four games would give New York its first championship since 1973. Game 4 is on Wednesday.

Some host cities are aiming to house, not arrest, homeless people ahead of the World Cup
SUMMARY: The World Cup is offering the 16 host cities a chance to take action against one of the biggest problems they face — homelessness. Some, like Atlanta and Dallas, have embarked on ambitious plans to house people living on their downtown streets. But a survey by The Associated Press found most host cities are relying on existing services — without any fresh funding — to address homelessness. Advocates worry some cities will rely on a strategy of temporarily removing the homeless from areas where fans gather and games are played, rather than providing them with long-term housing. Such tactics have been seen in the past at large sports and political events worldwide.

All that Jazz: Chisholm answers `overrated' chants with 8th-inning homer for Yankees in Cleveland
SUMMARY: Jazz Chisholm Jr. once again showed why he relishes being the player opposing fans love to hate. The flashy second baseman quieted chants of “overrated” in Cleveland with a home run in the eighth inning that sent the New York Yankees to a 3-2 victory over the Guardians. Leading off the inning, Chisholm fell behind 0-2 against Tim Herrin before working a full count.

It was his fourth career go-ahead homer in the eighth inning or later and first since 2022 with the Miami Marlins.

Bettors taking a chance on the longshot US in World Cup, though France and Spain remain favorites
SUMMARY: Fox Sports is promoting the idea of an underdog American team winning the World Cup, reminiscent of the 1980 Miracle on Ice when the US hockey team beat the Soviet Union in the Olympics. But the United States faces long odds in the World Cup. Longtime handicapper Bruce Marshall isn't convinced by U.S. coach Mauricio Pochettino's track record. Still, patriotic bettors are putting money on the U.S., creating potential liabilities for sportsbooks. France and Spain are the favorites.

Paraguay fans are eager for their long-awaited World Cup return, in the country they now call home
SUMMARY: Paraguayan fans are eager to see their national soccer team’s long-awaited return to the World Cup in the country they now call home. Many said ticket prices were too exorbitant to attend the team's first match against the U.S. in Los Angeles, but bought tickets to see the team face Turkey and Australia near San Francisco later in June. Others plan to watch with family friends at home in communities spanning from New Jersey to California. It's the first time the South American team has scored a World Cup spot since 2010 and a documentary film was recently released about its journey to the competition.

Takeaways from AP's report on how World Cup host cities are approaching homelessness
SUMMARY: Some North American cities are using the upcoming World Cup as a catalyst to address homelessness. Atlanta launched a downtown program that has housed nearly 500 people. Dallas spent $10 million to reduce downtown street sleeping by 87%. Seattle is opening 75 tiny homes just before the tournament. However, an Associated Press survey found that most host cities are not adding new funding. Instead, officials in places like New York and Toronto say they are relying on existing programs. Meanwhile, activists report that some cities are still clearing encampments. They accuse officials of trying to hide the problem before tourists arrive.

Law firms cheated in filing claims with NFL's $1 billion concussion settlement fund, report says
SUMMARY: The court officials overseeing the NFL’s $1 billion settlement fund for concussion-related injuries have barred five law firms from handling any more claims from former players, after finding that they fraudulently steered clients toward doctors willing to give them a Parkinson’s disease diagnosis whether they exhibited symptoms or not. A report filed in federal court in Philadelphia this week says the five firms represented or performed work involving 98 former players who in recent years sought payouts from the settlement for Parkinson’s disease claims. Dozens of those claims were approved to the tune of $95 million — with the share going to the attorneys totaling about $20 million.
