The grand jury report that put Attorney General James Uthmeier at the center of a “sophisticated scheme” to move $10 million from a Medicaid settlement into his political committee was erased Wednesday by a state appeals court, in an appeal in which no one was allowed to argue in defense of the report, the court’s own opinion shows.

Platforms like Meta's Facebook are teeming with highly-specific AI slop engineered to solicit sympathy for starving children.

Why does anyone play fantasy football? This is not a trick question, although it's also not particularly difficult to answer. Perhaps they do it for money, or they enjoy football, or they want a shared activity to help stay in touch with friends or family. Whatever the reason, the fun is in picking your guys and managing your little team and hoping you win more often than you lose. Some people have a healthier relationship to this endeavor than others. Still, if none of it appeals to you, then you can always not do it. Then there's this guy:

Jim Bakker’s vision of the future came to pass. Just not in the way the disgraced televangelist imagined.

Marc Edelman has spent much of the last two decades fighting to help college athletes get fairly compensated for their labor. A lawyer who is currently a tenured professor at Baruch College, Edelman has been writing about the NCAA's violations of antitrust law since 2002. In 2023, he advised both the states of Ohio and New York in their antitrust cases against the NCAA. As an antitrust expert who has dedicated so much time to thinking about college sports and how athletes should be properly compensated, Edelman felt like the perfect guy to talk to about the Protect College Sports Act, which was recently passed by the Senate and is expected to be voted on in the House after the midterm elections.

The “Cornell Seven” case highlights what’s wrong with Trump’s Title IX rules — and how the system was always designed to fail.

To hear powerhouse sports agent Drew Rosenhaus tell it, his client, the once-electric receiver Tyreek Hill, could sign with a new NFL team at any moment. From a football-only perspective, the agent's optimism makes sense. With so many teams losing starters to injuries, any football fan would expect a veteran like Hill to get a fresh look, especially from Kansas City, where receivers are suddenly in short supply and Hill previously won a Super Bowl. But any team that signs Hill would also be adding to its roster someone who is actively trying to keep documents and recordings out of court that, according to public records, reveal him making threats against his estranged wife, Lakeeta Vaccaro. Hill is still tied up in a contentious divorce case with her—Vaccaro has said Hill physically and emotionally abused her during their relationship—and it's scheduled to go to trial in Miami, starting today. Potential recordings that could come up at the trial includes nanny-cam footage in which Hill tells the mother of his child, per a transcript, that he isn't afraid of the police and is going to "throw your ass up." Per one court document, the video shows Hill "physically and violently throwing Ms. Vaccaro to the ground while he's attempted to grab the couple's baby."

White heteronormativity has long dominated the University of Arkansas. What does that mean for Black gay Arkansans?

When Veronica Spears read the letter, she began to shake. "What's wrong?" her husband asked. At the time, she said, she couldn't find the words to respond. "The letter said they found out that my grandfather had a brother that was in a reformation institution," she later told NPR in an interview. "And he passed away at the age of 12. We never knew." Spears' family is one of 16 that researchers with Georgetown University's Center for Youth Justice have linked to children who died at the House of Reformation and Instruction for Colored Children in Cheltenham, Md. The center has been working since February to identify children who died at 40 reform schools and youth detention centers across the country, as well as any surviving family members, as part of its Forgotten Children Initiative.

Ferry service has returned mostly to normal after 23 ferry engine room workers called out sick, shutting down 13 out of 18 vessels on Monday. While there’s no official confirmation workers coordinated these absences to flex their collective power to their bosses, Washington State ferries appeared to try and squash sympathies for the union ferry workers by publishing the tippy top of their highest paid worker’s possible salary if they were constantly overworked: $350,000.

The nation eliminated the domestic spread of measles in 2000 by maintaining high vaccination rates, but those rates have fallen in recent years to below the 95% coverage needed to prevent outbreaks.

Ride-hailing giant Lyft is set to pay a historic $272.5 million settlement to resolve allegations around misclassifying its drivers as independent contractors instead of employees. San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu said it was “the largest wage-and-hour settlement in California history.” “Every worker deserves to be paid fully and fairly,” Chiu wrote in a statement. “Misclassification exploits workers, fuels inequality, and creates an unfair economy.” The vast majority of the settlement, 87 percent, will go back to drivers. The restitution amount will be set in the future and based on “the number of hours and miles driven between April 5, 2016, through Dec. 15, 2020,” the period covered by the agreement. That’s a time before voters approved Proposition 22, an Uber- and Lyft-funded ballot measure that classified ride-hail drivers as independent contractors, meaning they would not receive the benefits and wage protections afforded to other workers. The gig companies spent more than $200 million on the measure.
