A Michigan family lost a home of $194,400 over a $2,242 tax bill; the county sold it for $76,008

The United States Supreme Court has made a landmark decision stating that tax sale compensation must be based on the auction price rather than the assessed value of a property. A family in Michigan, burdened with a $2,241.93 tax debt, faced foreclosure despite their home being valued at $194,400.

An isolated Netanyahu takes UN stage as he seeks reelection at home

JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu began the year declaring that he stood “shoulder to shoulder” with U.S. President Donald Trump as the two countries launched a war against Iran. But this week, as world leaders gather in New York for the United Nations General Assembly , there are no plans for the two men to be in the same room, or even in the same city.

The apparent snub underscored how badly the relationship between Trump and the prime minister has fractured. Many in Washington associate Netanyahu with the increasingly unpopular fight with Iran and Trump has labored to avoid the appearance that the Israeli leader forced him into a war that Trump said would be

Wall Street slips as Middle East escalations lifts oil; Trump-Xi talks in focus

Wall Street's main indexes dropped on Thursday, with the blue-chip Dow hitting a more than three-month low, as escalating tensions in the Middle East lifted oil prices and Treasury yields while investors monitored a US-China summit. Crude prices shot up $4 a barrel, with Brent futures hitting $107 after Yemen's Houthis said they attacked Saudi military sites in Jazan, days after US and Iran leaders exchanged barbs at the UN General Assembly. The developments stoked inflation concerns, with the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond reaching its highest since 2004. Bond prices move inversely to yields. Technology stocks led declines on the S&P 500, with Nvidia, Broadcom and Microsoft slipping over 1 percent each. Analysts, however, said faith in the AI trade, which powered the Nasdaq to record highs earlier this week, helped limit losses. "People were maybe less willing to chase stocks, but they didn't seem particularly eager to sell them," said Steve Sosnick, chief market analyst at Interactive Brokers.
