Four media organizations, including the Missouri Broadcasters Association and Missouri Press Association, have filed a lawsuit against the Missouri State Highway Patrol alleging the patrol's redacted crash reports violate Missouri's open records law. The MBA and MPA, alongside Gray Media and Warden Publishing Company Managing Editor Roxie Murphy, are asking the Highway Patrol to restore full public access to crash records. The MBA and MPA are news membership organizations that represent hundreds of local media organizations across the state. KOMU 8 News is a member of the MBA. Gray Media is a television ownership group that owns multiple stations in Missouri, and Warden Publishing Company owns several local newspapers in the state. In a petition filed on Friday, the organizations allege that the Highway Patrol's withholding of information in crash reports violates the Missouri Sunshine Law. The petition states that beginning in 2024, the patrol has redacted names, addresses, phone numbers and other identifiable information in crash reports received through Sunshine Law requests.

Yadav grew up in India, and came into banking by chance. She was working at a luxury jewelry startup, and Citigroup was a client. A friend at Citi convinced her to join the bank. Eventually, she moved to New York as she moved up the ranks. A call from a recruiter brought her to Eastern in 2017, and she moved her family to Massachusetts. River Run provides back office services for the three banks, but Yadav says she wants to keep all customer-facing roles distinct at each. She said the strategy combines “the best of both worlds” — the resources of a big bank with a community bank’s personal touch. Each unit has its own board of directors, while River Run’s board consists of directors from all three. Together, the three banks employ about 380 people, and have $3.6 billion in assets. “We think it’s very important to keep the local identity of each bank,” Yadav said. “There is an emotional appeal to these brands. People care about the local identity and the name. A lot of these clients have banked with these banks for generations.”She also has no plans to pursue an initial public offering.

The Patriots on Monday placed wide receiver Romeo Doubs on injured reserve. Doubs will be sidelined for at least four games, including Thursday night against the Bears in Chicago. He also will miss the Nov. 1 game against the Dolphins, the Nov. 8 game against the Packers (the team that drafted him in the fourth round in 2022), and the Nov. 15 game against the Lions in Munich. Doubs left Sunday’s 26-19 win over the Jets after hauling in a touchdown pass in the first quarter. He had to reach to make the catch and landed hard on his right shoulder. Doubs was able to maintain possession, but he remained on the turf as his teammates came over to celebrate. “I tried to give him a ball to catch,” quarterback Drake Maye said after the game. “I hate — I could’ve put it more on him and not have him dive, and then he goes down. Those are things that I care about, that I’m mad at, but it’s football.” Get Point AfterGet exclusive analysis and insight on the Patriots and the NFL, delivered to your inbox on weekdays during the season.

The workers pulled on gloves. One of them tapped a dirt mound a few times with the end of a rake handle, and the soil shifted. The rat was fat, but fast. In a flash, it darted across the sidewalk and disappeared under a metal gate between two residential buildings. Unfazed, the humans moved slowly. They cleared the trash, raked and leveled the soil of the tree bed, then closed up most of the holes with expanding foam, gravel, and steel wool.

DOLWD counted 347,000 total nonfarm jobs in September, down from a revised 355,600 in August but 300 more than in September 2025, for a growth rate of 0.1 percent. The increase in September is the first growth since April; jobs totals were flat in May and negative all summer. Growth came from the private sector while the government sector continued to shed jobs. Federal, state, and local employment, which includes public schools, rose in September to 77,900 from a revised 74,600 in August, but that compares to 79,800 a year earlier, a difference of 2.4 percent. Federal employment, which excludes uniformed military, was flat since August but down by 1,300 jobs since September 2025. State and local government employment both rose since August but were down by 400 and 200 jobs, respectively, compared to a year earlier.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court agreed Monday to hear a case about the role race plays in middle school admissions, three years after a majority on the high court struck down affirmative action in college admissions. The case involves admissions to four selective middle schools in Montgomery County, Maryland, a diverse suburb of Washington, D. C. A group of parents said in a lawsuit that the district’s admissions policy to four magnet schools is designed to boost the admission of Black and Latino students while disadvantaging Asian American kids. The high court said Monday it will weigh if the narrow question of whether the parent group has enough evidence of discrimination for the case to move forward. If the court rules in favor of the parent group, called the Association for Education Fairness, their case will be sent back to a lower court to be reheard. The lawsuit originates from a change in admissions policy that began a decade ago, when a consulting group was hired to evaluate how the school system chose students for its middle school magnet programs.

KYIV, Ukraine -- President Donald Trump is trying to force Ukraine to surrender in the war, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine said in an interview published Sunday, as a feud between the two leaders drives their relations to new lows. “I believe steps have been taken to convince Ukraine to capitulate,” Zelenskyy told Bloomberg News. He was referring to a string of measures in recent days by the Trump administration that could bolster Russia’s war machine while squeezing Ukraine’s ability to fight. Zelenskyy added that he did not want to believe that Washington was seeking a quicker end to the war at Ukraine’s expense. “But that’s how it looks,” he said. His comments capped a week in which the leaders traded some of their harshest words yet. Zelenskyy said Trump had an instinctive affinity for autocrats, an allusion to President Vladimir Putin of Russia, while Trump urged Ukrainians to vote Zelenskyy out of office. Zelenskyy on Sunday appeared to tell the NBC show “Meet the Press” that he would run in a wartime presidential election, if one took place. But he played down the prospect of holding a vote during the war.
