US News Roundup – October 24–25, 2026

Archdiocese of New York agrees to $800 million abuse settlement. The Archdiocese of New York reached an $800 million agreement to settle claims from about 1,300 people who say they were sexually abused by clergy members and lay workers, one of the largest such settlements in the Catholic Church. Attorney Jeff Anderson, whose firm represents more than 250 plaintiffs, said all plaintiffs agreed and only signed paperwork remains; Archbishop Ronald Hicks told priests Saturday the deal could "bring some measure of healing and reconciliation."

U.S. measles cases more than double last year's total. New CDC data show more than 4,580 measles cases reported nationwide in 2026 as of Oct. 22 — more than double all of 2025 — with 96% of patients unvaccinated or of unknown status. Pennsylvania is the epicenter, with at least 1,338 confirmed cases in 44 counties, more than 250 hospitalizations and five deaths, concentrated in Amish communities in Lancaster and Mifflin counties.

Blanche defends DOJ suit over Alaska's Senate certification. Attorney General Todd Blanche on Sunday defended the Justice Department's lawsuit seeking to stop Alaska from automatically certifying its Senate results if Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan loses to Democrat Mary Peltola, denying on CNN that it sets the stage for challenging midterm outcomes. DOJ cites possible voter confusion with a second candidate, retired Petersburg teacher Daniel J. Sullivan; Democrats call the suit an attempt to interfere in the election.

U.S. birth rate falls to a record low. A new CDC report found the general fertility rate fell 1% to a record low in 2025, extending a two-decade decline, with births to women ages 20–24 down 6% in one year — even as birth rates for women 30–45 continued to rise.
