Todd Rosenberg via AP Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs was released from jail Wednesday after his arrest on domestic violence charges the day before. On Tuesday, Hobart-Lawrence Police in Wisconsin announced the arrest of the 28-year-old. As noted in a report from ESPN, Jacobs charged with “battery (domestic abuse, criminal damage to property), domestic abuse, disorderly conduct (domestic abuse, strangulation and suffocation) and intimidation of a victim.” Records obtained by ESPN indicated at the time that Jacobs was held without bond. The report continued: The Hobart-Lawrence PD was dispatched to the alleged disturbance involving Jacobs on Saturday. “This remains an active and ongoing investigation. No further information will be released at this time,” Michael Renkas, chief of the Hobart-Lawrence PD said in a statement. In a statement provided by Jacobs’s attorneys, the running back denied the allegations against him. Additionally, the statement emphasized that crucial evidence “has not yet been made public.” The next day, Jacobs’s attorneys announced that their client had been released from custody. The statement read: We are extremely pleased that Josh has been released from custody and that no criminal charges have been filed against him. As we previously stated, we encourage everyone to keep an open mind while the matter is fully reviewed. We remain confident that, once all of the evidence is gathered and evaluated, it will confirm that no charges should be brought against Josh in the future.

Former First Lady Jill Biden said she was so “frightened” by ex-President Joe Biden’s disastrous 2024 debate against President Donald Trump that she believed he was having a medical emergency on stage. Biden shared her memories of that night in an interview with CBS reporter Rita Braver. A preview of their conversation was released on Wednesday, and the full interview is set to air on CBS Sunday Morning later this week. “Were you horrified as you saw it unfold?” Braver asked her. “I wasn’t horrified, I was frightened,” Biden said. “Because I had never, ever seen Joe like that — before or since. Never.” Braver followed up by asking, “Or since? You’ve never seen him like that?” “Never” Biden said. Braver then stretched her arms out and asked, “What happened?” “I don’t know what happened,” Biden said. “I mean, as I watched it, I thought, Oh my God, he’s having a stroke. And it scared me to death.” The train wreck of a performance for her husband happened on June 27, 2024, when CNN hosted the Biden-Trump debate at its Atlanta studio. Biden was lethargic from the start and made several baffling comments, including at one point saying he was working on a “total ban on the, the, total initial relative to what we’re going to do with more Border Patrol and more asylum officers.” Trump immediately mocked him for stumbling over his words. “I really don’t know what he said at the end of that sentence. I don’t think he knows what he said either,” Trump said. Biden turned to him with a confused look on his face after that. The debate spurred dozens of Democratic lawmakers to urge Biden to drop out of the ’24 race, which he did less than a month later. He was replaced by then-Vice President Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket, and she went on to lose to Trump a few months later.

A serious car wreck in Texas used to be a local story. The police report, the local news clip, the courtroom proceedings all played out in a contained information environment that lawyers and insurance carriers understood. That world is gone. A single dashcam video from a Houston intersection can rack up ten million views in 48 hours. A Tesla autopilot crash in Austin can become a national talking point before the tow truck arrives. In Arlington and across the DFW metroplex, the social media life cycle of a car wreck now influences how juries decide cases and how insurance carriers value settlements. For drivers involved in a serious crash, understanding that dynamic is part of protecting their own interests. How Viral Coverage Reshapes the Jury Pool Decades of jury research have established that pretrial publicity affects how jurors evaluate evidence. The U.S. courts have long required voir dire processes to identify and exclude jurors with disqualifying exposure to media coverage. What is new is the scale and speed of that exposure. A high-profile Texas crash now reaches potential jurors through TikTok, X, Instagram Reels, YouTube, and Reddit, often before the police investigation is complete. The result is a jury pool that arrives at trial with strong, often incomplete, narratives already in mind. A viral clip showing a pickup truck running a red light in the seconds before impact creates one narrative. A clip of the same crash that starts a few seconds later creates a different narrative. Both clips might be technically accurate. Neither is complete. Jurors who saw one and not the other arrive at trial with different starting assumptions. The Pew Research Center has documented how Americans now consume news, with social platforms surpassing traditional outlets as the primary source for many adults. That shift matters in court. Defense and plaintiff attorneys in Tarrant County now routinely conduct social media research on prospective jurors during voir dire to understand what coverage they have likely seen. How Carriers Adjust to Viral Cases Insurance carriers track media coverage of crashes in real time. When a case is generating significant social media attention, the carrier’s reserve calculations, settlement authority, and litigation strategy all shift. The shift can run in either direction. When viral coverage is unfavorable to the carrier’s insured, the case typically resolves faster. Carriers prefer to settle high-attention cases before they reach a jury that will have seen… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 hours ago - ‘Stupid Kid’: Fox’s Larry Kudlow Calls Mamdani a ‘Throwback to Stalin’Fox Business anchor Larry Kudlow branded New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) a “stupid kid” who sounds more like Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin than an American politician after Mamdani introduced his new plan to create hundreds of thousands of rent-stabilized apartments. The veteran host skewered the project on The Money Show on Wednesday. Kudlow started off by sarcastically saluting the 34-year-old mayor, saying he was “proud of him” for being true to his democratic socialist roots — but that’s where the compliments ended. “It’s just pure communist, pure Stalinism,” Kudlow said. “He’s actually a throwback to Stalin in the ’20s, ’30s, and 40s, when the Soviet Union would confiscate the means of production. They would take out the steel mills and the iron mills and the railroads from any private sector hands,” Kudlow continued. “You know, this stupid kid is doing the same thing, because it’s what he thinks is the right thing to do.” His remarks came a day after Mamdani unveiled his housing plan, which includes developing 200,000 new, rent-stabilized apartments in NYC and preserving another 200,000 already being used. Mamdani said he plans on spending $5.6 billion on public housing over the next five years as part of a larger, $22 billion housing plan. One of Mamdani’s campaign slogans last year was “Freeze the Rent” last year. At the time, Mamdani said his plan was to halt rent increases on 1 million units in New York. Kudlow on Wednesday said Mamdani’s plan showed the Democratic Party is increasingly adopting full-blown socialism. “Nowadays, the modern socialist Democratic Party uses regulatory apparatus to do this kind of thing,” Kudlow said. “This kid’s coming in and just, he’s just taking the assets and changing ownership… I mean, it’s like setting up little Soviets.” “The Soviet Union hung around a while,” co-host Brian Brenberg said, before asking, “is he doomed, or does this having staying power?” “He’s just gonna have his fling and then people are going to boot him out,” Kudlow predicted. “Just boot him out of here.

- Veteran Who Graham Platner Mocked and Said ‘Didn’t Deserve to Live’ Fires ...Purple Heart recipient Ted Daniels hit back hard at Maine Senate candidate and fellow veteran Graham Platner after the Democratic politician refused to apologize for mocking Daniels and saying he “didn’t deserve to live” in now-deleted posts. Platner, the presumptive Democratic candidate for Maine Senate, refused to apologize over the weekend over resurfaced-but-now-deleted Reddit posts in which he mocked a video of Daniels engaging in a firefight with the Taliban in 2012. Daniels was shot four times. “Dumb mother f*cker didn’t deserve to live. At least his stupidity and fat a** wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt. Poor marksmanship on the Taliban’s part is the only reason this mouthbreather made it home, he managed to make every possible shit decision possible when it comes to small unit combat,” Platner wrote under an account he’s acknowledged belonged to him. Daniels can be heard in the video saying he’s “hit.” He said that his squad was pinned down by machine gun fire and he “came out into the open to draw fire so my squad could get to safety.” Daniels spoke with Fox News Digital this week and anchor John Roberts played part of the interview on America Reports Wednesday. Daniels slammed Platner’s comments as “vile and disgusting,” and made it clear he has “zero to no respect” for the politician. “I don’t want an apology. I don’t need an apology… I’m the type of person that in order for me to worry about what you say, first I have to respect you,” Daniels said. “And there’s zero-to-no respect for a self-proclaimed communist.” He called the posts made by Platner “beyond locker room talk.” “The stuff that this guy put out there publicly is beyond locker room talk,” Daniels said. “It is just vile and disgusting.” Watch above via Fox News.The post Veteran Who Graham Platner Mocked and Said ‘Didn’t Deserve to Live’ Fires Back Hard: ‘Vile and Disgusting’ first appeared on Mediaite.

- James Talarico Admits He Regrets ‘Cringey’ Comments After Being Pressed Over...Texas Senate candidate James Talarico (D) admitted to some “regret” over past “cringey comments” after being pressed over his declaration that “God is non-binary.” CBS News’ Ed O’Keefe brought up the 2021 comments and more in an interview this week after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton secured the Republican nomination for the Senate seat currently held by Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX). “So they’re running a handful of highlights of things you’ve said in the past, and I wanted to give you an opportunity to respond or clarify. In 2021, in a speech during debate over transgender issues, you said, God is non-binary. What did you mean by that?” O’Keefe asked Talarico. The Democratic candidate said he thought he was being “intentionally provocative” with the statement. “I think I was being intentionally provocative with that statement but what it means is that God can’t be defined by human categories,” he said before going on to promise to “stand up for Texans who are being picked on by the most powerful most corrupt politicians in the country.” “You call it intentionally provocative, you regret describing it that way or talking about God that way?” O’Keefe asked. “There are some statements that I’ve made that I certainly regret. There are statements that I’ve made where I’ve missed the mark. I’ll be the first to admit that,” Talarico said. “But Ken Paxton is intentionally clipping my cringey comments to distract from his career of corruption.” O’Keefe brought up another 2021 comment in which Talarico said “modern science acknowledges six biological variations based on chromosomes to argue that sex is a nuanced spectrum.” The comment has gotten renewed attention during the campaign and Talarico has been pressed on it before. “Do you still believe there are six biological sexes?” O’Keefe asked. “I know there are two sexes, men and women. I also know there’s a very small percentage of people who have these chromosomal abnormalities, and I believe they deserve to be treated with dignity and respect,” Talarico said.
