Golf equipment maker Callaway is severing ties with Good Good after the influential internet golf companys controversial advertisement that featured one of Good Goods co-founders pushing over a female member of their team.

Over the last several days, we have listened and reflected deeply on the hurt and disappointment caused by the video we reposted, Callaway said in a post on X announcing the decision. We heard from individuals who shared personal experiences related to violence against women, and their stories were powerful reminders that this issue touches the lives of far too many people.

Unequivocally, violence against women is unacceptable and should never be trivialized, normalized, or used as entertainment.

The advertisement posted last week showed Garrett Clark, one of the co-founders of Good Good, shoulder-checking Alexis Miestowski to the ground as she went to touch his co-branded Good Good x Callaway driver. The advertisement quickly drew immense backlash and was pulled down, with Callaway and Good Good both facing intense questions over how an ad showing a violent act against a woman would be approved and posted.

In its statement, Callaway noted that its processes failed, with the companys CEO earlier admitting that Callaway reviewed Good Goods video and approved it before it went live.

In this instance, our content review process was not comprehensive enough. We have taken appropriate internal corrective actions and significantly strengthened our approval procedures to help ensure this does not happen again, the statement read.

Callaway will donate $1 million to organizations that work to prevent violence against women, provide resources to survivors, and advance education and awareness efforts, the company said.

But even still, the company said it understands many people feel harmed by the advertisement and that hurt is not easy to undo.

We sincerely apologize to everyone who was hurt, disappointed, or offended by this incident, the statement read.

The backlash against Good Good, in particular, has been intense this week.

Multiple reports have indicated major golf retailers are pulling the companys merchandise from shelves, which would be a significant blow to Good Goods bottom line if it went on for a lengthy period. While the company made its name with social media videos showcasing their personalities playing golf, its merchandise sales make up a large portion of the companys revenue.

In a video posted on Wednesday, Clark apologized for his role in the ad, and on behalf on Good Good.

This is not, at all, what we stand for. The way this ad was received is not how Good Good is and not what we stand for once again. I want everyone to know that. I do not support (domestic violence), abuse or any of that, he said.

Clark offered some clarity on the idea behind the ad, likening it to the 2026 movie Obsession directed by 26-year-old YouTuber Curry Barker.

Clark explained that, like the movie, he was supposed to be obsessed with his driver and anybody who touched it would become possessed with the obsession.

Looking back, super dumb ad concept, Clark added. Terrible ad in general. Not the greatest idea. Once I watched it back and it got posted, my skin was crawling. I was cringing. I mean, even just minutes after I saw it get posted, before this surfaced anywhere online, I thought it was the worst ad known to man.

Clark described the comments and criticism the ad received as very justified, but denounced the hate and death threats Miestowski has received in her social media direct messages.

Good Good was founded in 2020 and is one of the primarily online golf media companies that became popular during the Covid-19 pandemic. The success of Good Good and other companies like it has sparked lots of discourse over whether the boisterous personalities involved in the companys videos are the best way to promote the game of golf, which traditionally promotes a very staid and demure culture.

The companys popularity has grown to the point that legacy names in the sport, such as Callaway, have tried to capitalize on its popularity with partnerships. One of the most high-profile partnerships thats now in jeopardy is The Good Good Championship, a PGA Tour event slated to take place this November in Texas.

The advertisement, and the fallout from the video, have seemingly put that event in jeopardy. Brian Rolapp, CEO of the PGA Tour, called it a fluid situation earlier this week.

We were disappointed at first. It sounds like in the last 24 hours theyve made some progress. Well continue to monitor the situation and see how it develops, he said in response to a question from CNN Sports.

Millions of renters across the U.S. may be eligible for part of a nearly $360 million settlement after the real estate software company RealPage was accused of helping landlords artificially increase rent prices.

According to a class action lawsuit filed in Tennessee, plaintiffs claim that RealPage and dozens of other property management companies violed federal and state antitrust laws by using RealPage's rental pricing software to conspire to fix and inflate the price of multifamily rentals across the U.S. Defendants have denied any wrongdoing.

RELATED STORY | What rights do tenants, landlords have when it comes to raising the rent?

The court has not decided who is right or wrong in the case. Instead, both sides have agreed to establish a $359,925,000 settlement fund and the defendants have agreed to change their rental business practices.

The settlement includes anyone in the U.S. or its territories who:

Paid rent for a multifamily property Rented from an owner or property manager whose property was licensed to use RealPage rent-pricing software, including LRO, YieldStar or AI Revenue Management Did so at any point between Oct. 18, 2018, and Nov. 21, 2025

After taxes, administrative expenses and attorneys fees are deducted, the remaining settlement funds will be divided based on how much rent each person paid during the class period. Those who paid more rent may receive a larger payment.

Renters can check whether their property is covered and file a claim here. The settlement fund still has to be approved by the court before any money is disbursed.

After investigators say she was reported missing earlier in the day, a woman died in Dearborn this morning after being hit by a train.

Officers first received a report around 10 a.m. this morning of an elderly woman with dementia who had wandered from her home.

When searching for the woman, officers got word from emergency dispatchers that a woman had been struck by a train near Miller Road and Southern Avenue, on the south end of the city.

The woman was found on the railroad tracks and was pronounced dead at the scene.

"The Dearborn Police Department extends its deepest condolences to the woman's family and loved ones following this tragic loss of life. We ask that the community respect the family's privacy as they cope with this devastating loss," Dearborn Police said on social media.

WASHINGTON (AP) President Donald Trump said Thursday he is renaming Lake Ontario to be known as Lake America in the United States as he escalates his trade war with Canada.

The Republican president signed an executive order directing the Interior Department to update the lake's name in the U.S. geographic naming service. Trump cannot force Canada to follow his preferred naming convention, however.

Trump has been floating the idea of the name change in recent days as the U.S. announced it was imposing 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods over the weekend after talks between the countries broke down. Trump has been needling Americas northern neighbor since he returned to the White House last year, suggesting the ally with whom the U.S. once had warm relations should instead be absorbed as the 51st state.

Canada responded to Trumps import taxes this week by imposing retaliatory tariffs on $20 billion worth of American goods, including steel, dairy products, appliances and farm equipment.

Trump, who signed the order as he was sitting at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, had a large sign behind him propped on a stand with a map of the Great Lakes. Over Lake Ontario, in big red letters, the map read Lake America.

On the other side of the president was another map with the words, MAKING THE GREAT LAKES EVEN GREATER.

Trump said as he was signing the order that he'd notified all of the various people that we have to notify. So, weve done everything that you have to do.

And this is official, effective immediately, he added.

But the executive order Trump signed shows that the changes are supposed to be made within 30 days.

The office of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney did not immediately respond to a request for comment

Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston dismissed Trumps move in a social media post, writing: Were into some real foolishness now. Its Lake Ontario, buddy.

The lake is one of multiple Great Lakes that the U.S. and Canada share borders along.

There is no single international body that determines names of international bodies of water and Trump has wide latitude over how the U.S. government recognizes geographic places and landmarks.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who has traded insults with Trump, this week brushed aside the prospect of Trump changing the lake's name as a lot of rhetoric.

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Huron Indigenous peoples word oniatar:io, which means lake of shining waters. The province of Ontario, founded in 1867, took its name from the lake.

Trump said that while his action was not meant to send any particular geopolitical message, Canadas been ripping us off for a long time on trade and military issues.

They wanted to be treated like a state and theyre not a state, the president said. We just cant do that anymore.

We love the people of Canada, Trump added. I dont think their representatives do, an appropriate job. Maybe theyll change. I really dont know. It doesnt make much difference.

The move is reminiscent of his move last year to rename the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.

Trump scribbled his name with a Sharpie pen on the executive order, then held it up for the cameras, offering, And we filed all the necessary papers, documents, everything else.

He also suggested his push to rename bodies of water may not be finished.

So, if you think about it, we have a gulf and we have a lake. Now, all we need is an ocean, Trump said. So maybe well have to change the name of the Atlantic and/or the Pacific. Maybe well change them.

Associated Press writer Rob Gillies in Toronto contributed to this report.

President Donald Trump signed an order Thursday renaming Lake Ontario to Lake America amid ongoing trade tensions between the United States and Canada.

The order formally directs the Secretary of the Interior to take steps within the next 30 days to remove all references to Lake Ontario throughout the U.S. government.

He had previously said he was considering renaming the Great Lake before Thursday's order.

The United States is giving serious consideration to changing the name of Lake Ontario to Lake America, as we dont expect to do much business with Ontario any longer, Trump wrote on Truth Social on Tuesday.

On Thursday, Trump took his comments one step further, calling Canadian officials "nasty people."

"People oftentimes they'll ask me, 'Who's the worst to deal with on trade?' And I say, 'That's easy Canada.' They feel entitled, and we can't have that," Trump said.

Last week, President Trump ordered additional tariffs on Canadian goods. Days later, the Canadian government announced that it will match "dollar for dollar" tariffs, with rates of up to 50%, as a direct response to tariffs imposed by Trump.

The tariffs are expected to hit $20 billion in goods.

Both the U.S. and Canada have integrated supply chains, with automobiles and other goods frequently crisscrossing the border for production.

Ontario is Canadas most populous province, home to about 16.1 million people.

According to the Center for Great Lakes Literacy, the name Lake Ontario comes from the Iroquoian word oniatar:io, meaning lake of shining waters.

This is not the first time Trump has changed the name of a body of water. Shortly after taking office again in 2025, he renamed the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. Some companies, including Google and Apple, updated the name on their maps, though most entities outside the U.S. still refer to it as the Gulf of Mexico.

A U.S. military judge on Wednesday set a summer 2028 trail date for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and three others accused of plotting the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

The trial is scheduled to begin June 5, 2028, 18 months later than the January 2027 start that prosecutors had requested. The additional time is needed to resolve pretrial disputes, including disagreements about what evidence can be presented at trial, Air Force Lt. Col. Michael A. Schrama wrote in his ruling.

The U.S. military and successive administrations have struggled for more than two decades to bring to justice the man charged with planning one of the deadliest attacks ever on the United States.

The 2028 trial depends on the case meeting deadlines and milestones along the way and it could again be delayed. A trial was previously scheduled in 2021 but later canceled.

Mohammed is accused of developing and directing the plot to crash hijacked airliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Another of the hijacked planes flew into a field in Pennsylvania. He faces trial alongside three alleged accomplices: Walid bin Attash, Ali Abdul Aziz Ali and Mustafa al-Hawsawi.

They are among the last of the detainees held at the U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

A federal appeals court last year threw out an agreement that would have allowed Mohammed to plead guilty in a deal sparing him the risk of execution for al-Qaidas 2001 attacks.

That deal stipulated life sentences without parole for Mohammed and two of his co-defendants. It also would have obligated the men to answer any lingering questions that families of the victims have about the attacks. But after negotiating the deal for two years, former President Joe Biden's administration repudiated it.

Authorities across the country are sounding the alarm over a spike in air bag thefts.

The warning is for Honda owners everywhere. According to officials, these thieves are targeting the driver's side air bags of Honda Accords, Civics, HR-Vs and CR-Vs.

The thieves are often stealing these air bags to sell on the black market.

While a brand new replacement airbag could cost around $1,000 at a dealership for the victim, these black market buyers are purchasing stolen ones for significantly less.

The jury in the trial of Lindsay Clancy has finished deliberating for the day without reaching a verdict and will resume deliberations Friday at 9 a.m. ET.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This story includes discussion of suicide. If you or someone you know needs help, the national suicide and crisis lifeline in the U.S. is available by calling or texting 988.

Clancy, 36, is accused of killing her three young children Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months by strangulation at the family's Massachusetts home. She has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Jurors are faced with deciding whether she is criminally responsible. The two sides have presented experts with starkly contradicting testimony on whether Clancy was suffering from postpartum psychosis.

Clancy has admitted to the killings and later attempted to take her own life by jumping out of two-story window of the home. During closing arguments on Thursday, the defense said Clancy was in a severe postpartum psychotic state at the time and cannot be held criminally responsible.

"Calling the suicide hotline. We can't help you. Calling another suicide hotline. We can't help you," defense attorney Kevin Reddington told the jury. "My God, what does she have to do? She was reaching out for help and she was not getting it."

Prosecutors, however, claim she was aware of her wrongdoings at the time of the killings and presented expert testimony that told jurors Clancy planned where to kill the children, what to use, and in what order to take their lives.

"This wasn't a woman suffering from a lack of care, a lack of resources. She had an abundance of help, an abundance of care. She had all of that and more," said assistant district attorney Jennifer Sprague.

If convicted of murder, Clancy faces life in prison without parole. If found not guilty due to lack of criminal responsibility, she would be committed to a state mental health facility.

Good news for drivers who use I-696 during the Restore the Reuther project.

The westbound I-696 ramps to northbound and southbound I-75 are expected to on Monday, Aug. 31, after being closed for the past six months.

A time hasn't been set for the reopening, but it will be some time during the day.

The nearly year-and-a-half closure of eastbound I-696 between M-10 and I-75 in Oakland County is nearing its end, with MDOT's project manager saying the lanes are on track to reopen before the end of the year.

Watch Ali Hoxie's report below Eastbound I-696 between M-10 and I-75 set to reopen before end of the year

The closure has created congestion on mile roads and service drives, shut down major ramps, and stretched morning commutes for drivers across metro Detroit.

Brian Travis, MDOT's project manager for the I-696 construction project, said the work is well along.

"We are, I would say about 90 percent of the way paved out on the project," Travis said.

Traffic shift

The next major change will be a traffic shift. Once MDOT finishes repaving the westbound side, westbound traffic currently running in the eastbound lanes will move back to its original side of the highway.

"Come around early October, we hope to put the westbound traffic back on that westbound pavement," Travis said.

Once that shift happens, crews will finish paving remaining ramps on the eastbound side of I-696 and the median, setting the stage for the eastbound lanes to reopen.

More construction ahead

Even after the eastbound lanes reopen, more work is planned on I-696 during the next construction season, including bridge and pavement work between I-75 and Dequindre.

"From about mid-April next year, through the I'll say fall, we will be down to two lanes each direction through that stretch," Travis said.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed more than 1,000 new cases of cyclosporiasis in the United States this summer, bringing the total number of confirmed illnesses to more than 17,000.

The cases include 922 hospitalizations and two deaths. Great Lakes states, including Ohio and Michigan, have reported the highest numbers of cases.

Illnesses have been reported in 48 states and the District of Columbia. The exact source of all the illnesses remains unclear, but the CDC said many cases are linked to iceberg lettuce produced in Central Mexico by Taylor Farms.

The company has recalled the lettuce, but the CDC said the products should no longer be available in stores or restaurants because the best-by dates have passed. The agency added that investigators are examining other potential sources of illness.

RELATED STORY | Outbreak of diarrhea-causing parasite linked to 4 more states

The CDC also said 12,000 additional cases are under investigation.

Cyclosporiasis is a foodborne illness caused by a microscopic parasite. People usually become infected through contaminated food or water, especially fresh produce. According to Scripps News medical expert Dr. Omer Awan, the parasite is commonly linked to lettuce, basil and other leafy vegetables.

Symptoms can develop within two to 14 days.

Maine's Republican nominee for governor recently told a crowd of supporters that he would ask a top Department of Homeland Security official to send U.S. Marshals and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to polling places in the state for this fall's midterm elections, according to audio obtained by The Associated Press.

During an Aug. 20 event in Arundel, Bobby Charles told a group of supporters that he would ask Tom Homan, the White House border czar, to send federal agents to polling places in the weeks before Election Day. The audio was first reported by the Bangor Daily News.

Heres my secret, Charles told members of a Maine Young Republicans chapter. I have a friend named Tom Homan. Tom and I used to get on Fox all the time together. Toms an awesome guy.

Im going to ask Tom, Im going to actually three or four weeks before the election, maybe three Im going to make an appeal for ICE and Marshals to be at our voting booths, Charles said, according to the audio.

On Wednesday, he explained his comments by saying state and local authorities who manage elections should have an open line of communication with federal authorities if needed to prevent violence at a voting place, in order to prevent intimidation at a voting place and in order to prevent illegality at a voting place.

He said his point was that Maine authorities should do everything legally possible to prevent illegal voting in the state.

Everybody who is legally entitled to vote should be free from any intimidation and should be able to vote, he said in a statement released by his campaign. Anybody who is not legally entitled to vote should not be voting.

Trump, Republican allies are fixated on voting by noncitizens

Charles' comments come as President Donald Trump continues to sow doubt about the security of elections in the U.S. elections and takes unprecedented measures to intervene in election administration. The Constitution gives states, and sometimes Congress, the authority to set election rules but grants no such power to the president.

A central part of his attacks is to claim widespread fraud through voting by noncitizens. But those claims are vastly overstated. Voting by noncitizens is exceptionally rare and is punishable as a felony, with deportation as one potential penalty.

Nevertheless, Trump has been pushing Congress to pass a bill that would require voters to show documentary proof of citizenship to vote in the upcoming midterms and signed an executive order directing the Postal Service to send mail ballots only to those on an approved list of verified voters.

When reached for comment on Wednesday, DHS did not address whether department officials had held or planned to hold conversations with political campaigns about election security. DHS officials have previously said they do not have plans to send ICE agents to polling places.

Elections exist for the American people, not illegal aliens, to choose their leaders, a Homeland Security spokesperson said in a statement to the AP.

Democratic state officials have been concerned about the possibility of immigration agents showing up near polling places on Election Day or during early voting. Several states have taken actions this year to guard against it.

In February, a DHS official told a group of secretaries of state that any suggestion that ICE will be present at any polling location is simply not true, according to several secretaries who were part of the conversation. That followed congressional testimony from the heads of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, who both answered No, sir when asked if they are involved in any efforts to guard voting precincts.

Maine officials, Democrats push back on Charles' comments

Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, a Democrat, said ICE agents are prohibited by law from being at polling places and that Maine residents can expect a free and secure election in November. Bellows ran for governor this year but lost in the Democratic primary.

The political rhetoric coming from Mr. Charles is just politics, but it wont change the laws or the Constitution, Bellows said.

The Maine Democratic Party also criticized Charles comments and described his plan as likely illegal. The party also criticized the timing of the comments as the state is continuing to wrestle with the killing of Biddeford resident Johan Sebastin Durn Guerrero by an ICE officer earlier this summer.

The comments expose Charles as a MAGA extremist who will do Trumps bidding, said Maine Democratic Party Executive Director Devon Murphy-Anderson.

His plan to ask Trumps border czar to send ICE agents to Maine polling places just weeks before Election Day is not only deeply alarming it is likely illegal. This is a blatant attempt to intimidate voters and yet another reason Bobby Charles is too extreme for Maine, Murphy-Anderson said.

Federal law prohibits the military and federal agencies from putting troops or armed officers near polling sites, according to the Brennan Center.

DHS secretary says agents could respond to specific threat at polling places

The White House has dismissed concerns that federal agents would interfere with elections and noted that there was no disruption to the election process in last years elections, when Democrats performed well.

During his March confirmation hearing, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin downplayed concerns about ICE agents being used to intimidate voters or interfere with election administration. But he maintained that agents had a right to conduct immigration enforcement activities at sites related to election administration.

I dont understand what the concern is about enforcement of immigration at polling places anyways, because honestly if youre not a citizen you shouldnt be voting anyways, Mullin testified. So technically, there shouldnt be illegals at the polling spot.

He continued: The only reason why my officers would be there is if there was a specific threat for them to be there, not for intimidation.

Charles is an attorney who served as U.S. assistant secretary of state under President George W. Bush. He won the Republican primary for governor in June and will face Democratic candidate Hannah Pingree, the former speaker of the Maine House of Representatives, in November. Democratic Gov. Janet Mills, a Democrat, is term-limited.

Corewell Health announced Thursday a major expansion to its Beaumont Troy Hospital campus, and an expansion in Grand Rapids.

According to Corewell, a $440 million, 423,000 square-foot hospital tower will be built next to the existing Beaumont Troy Hospital, which is at over 90% capacity.

The health organization said that the eight-story building will feature 180 private rooms, a new emergency department waiting room. The ER sees more than 106,000 visits per year.

"The new hospital tower will help create an extraordinary patient experience at Troy Hospital for patients, families and our team members. The high-quality, compassionate care our patients expect from us will also become more personal as the tower will feature modern, comfortable and private rooms," Corewell Health Southeast Michiga President Lamont Yoder said in a statement.

Other plans in metro Detroit include an ambulatory center in Oxford and a cardiac ambulatory surgery center in Sterling Heights.

Construction on the project is expected to begin in the summer of 2027 with plans for the new building to be open in 2030.

The week will bring a partial lunar eclipse, when part of the moons sunlight is blocked by Earth.

According to NASA, people in eastern North America and all of South America will have the best chance of seeing the eclipse. Much of those continents will be able to see the eclipse in its entirety. Residents of western Europe will see the lunar eclipse as the moon sets Friday morning.

People in western North America, including California, Oregon and Washington, will be able to view the lunar eclipse as the moon rises Thursday evening.

For those east of the Mississippi River, the eclipse will peak around midnight local time. The eclipse is expected to last more than three hours, reaching its peak at 12:14 a.m. EDT.

At its peak, 93% of the moon will be eclipsed, leaving only a small sliver illuminated. Most of the moon will appear blood red at peak eclipse.

Lunar eclipses happen during the full moon phase. Unlike a solar eclipse, which generally casts a shadow over only a small portion of Earth, lunar eclipses can be seen anywhere the moon is visible. Lunar eclipses also do not require special glasses or equipment for viewing.
