"Live from MPR News," I'm trial Snyder, in Las Vegas Wednesday, President Tru...

made some good bets on the economy.

"I don't get any credit for anything. Everything I do, even prescription drug prices." Trump's speaking to supporters at a Vegas casino where he not only touted his prescription drug program, but also his tariffs and no tax on tips policies.

Trump also took a game at progressive Democrats after they scored key victories in Tuesday's

primary elections, notably in Michigan, where I'll do a say, I had nearly one his primary for an open Senate seat, Trump is now back at the White House arriving there late last night. The man arrested at President Trump's golf course outside Los Angeles is facing federal and state firearms charges, authorities say Janine John Taley appeared to be scoping out the

golf club ahead of Trump's fundraiser there Tuesday evening. He was arrested on Sunday.

About 350,000 Haitians living in the U.S. officially stripped of their temporary legal status

Wednesday. They're now vulnerable to detention and deportation weeks after the Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration, and PR's Adrian Ferrito reports. TPS allows people from certain countries to live and work in the U.S. because of dangerous conditions in their home countries.

People from Haiti have benefited from TPS since 2010.

The President Trump moved to terminate their temporary status, and in June, the Supreme

Court said he could do so, that ruling has now taken effect. Haitians now face being deported to a country that even the Trump administration acknowledges is very dangerous. Armed gangs control much of Haiti, many of the 350,000 Haitians affected have U.S. born children. The administration is urging Haitians to self-deport and warning that it will come for them

if they don't. He'd re-inflate even, and fairness.

The Director General of the World Health Organization visited the Democratic Republic of Congo as the country battles a growing Ebola outbreak and at living some reports. Top of the agenda for WHO Director General Tedros Gabriel Yases is Ebola, which continues to spread

at breakneck speed across conflict-torn eastern Congo.

On social media, Tedros stated that in some hotspots, case numbers had doubled in the past

week, and that the health response needs to be scaled up massively. Doctors with our borders made a similar plea for urgency on Wednesday, pointing to serious deficiencies in contact tracing. The ADA Organization says that 90% of admitted patients in its Ebola treatment center in the city of Buña are not traced contacts.

There is a growing and widely held fear that the Ebola outbreak is spiraling out of control. For NPR News, I'm Emmett Livingstone in Cancassa. And you're listening to NPR News. The online prediction market CalShe can no longer do business in the state of Utah. On Higgins, with member station KUER, has more on a federal judge's ruling that the

company is not immune to Utah's ban on gambling. Gambling and other games of chance are explicitly banned in the Utah Constitution, driven largely by the beliefs of the Church of Jesus Christ of Letterde Saints, which is headquartered in the state. Earlier this year, state lawmakers added proposition bets, like the ones made on CalShe and

other similar websites to the state's definition of gambling. CalShe sued Utah in February over the law. It argued the state couldn't treat its sports futures contracts as bets because it operates as a federally registered exchange. The court disagreed.

Utah Attorney General Derek Brown celebrated the outcome saying Clever Branding can't beat state law. CalShe says it plans to appeal. For NPR News, I'm Sean Higgins in Salt Lake City. >> Jonny Infantino and FIFA are presenting a united front amid the fallout over Infantino's
