A Texas trooper who had an altercation with South Carolina's Nyck Harbor after his touchdown on Saturday was sent home from the game, according to the state Department of Public Safety.
Harbor scored on an 80-yard reception in the second quarter of the game against Texas A&M and ran into the tunnel limping following the score. As he and three other players were walking back to the field, the trooper walked in between Harbor and another player and bumped into them as they passed each other.
The trooper and Harbor turned around and the trooper pointed at Harbor with both hands and said something to him. Harbor was quickly pushed away by his teammate and they continued to the field.
The public safety department issued a statement saying the trooper was sent home.
"Our Office of Inspector General (OIG) is also aware of the incident and will be further looking into the matter. No additional information will be released at this time," the statement reads.
The video was widely shared on social media with many commenting on it, including Lakers star LeBron James.
A Virginia woman says she walked into a local hospital for help with a collapsed breast implant, but ended up undergoing a surgery she claims was unnecessary and has been life-altering.
In her $25 million lawsuit, she also claims the surgeon who performed the operation should never have been allowed to perform breast reconstruction.
When Mandy Moore walked into the Richmond Breast Center on July 17, 2023, she says she only wanted one thing.
"I had told them I just wanted my implants removed, I wasn't 20 anymore, I had enough breast tissue," Moore said.
A mammogram showed one implant had collapsed, but Moore says when she arrived, she received shocking news from a nurse practitioner at the center.
According to her lawsuit, Moore alleges she was told that the breast surgeon in the practice, Dr. Sasa Grae Espino, had reviewed her records and that she was almost certain to develop breast cancer.
"It wasn't going to be a question of if but when, and I should really think about having a double mastectomy," Moore said they told her.
She previously underwent testing after her mom was diagnosed with breast cancer, but those results were negative for gene mutations that increase breast cancer risk.
And yet she claims a nurse practitioner at the center and Espino encouraged her to undergo a preventative double mastectomy with implants.
"Did you feel like if I don't get this done, I will get breast cancer?" Investigative Reporter Melissa Hipolit asked Moore.
"Absolutely because that is what they told me, and I believed every word that they said," Moore replied.
So, Moore consented to the surgery.
On August 22, 2023, she met Espino for her pre-op appointment, but her lawsuit claims Espino never discussed alternative treatment options. Six days later, Espino performed the operation at CJW Hospitals.
By August of the following year, one of the new implants had flipped" and migrated," according to the lawsuit.
Moores operative note states this occurred "after being involved in a car crash."
So, Espino operated on Moore again, the lawsuit stated.
The wounds from this second surgery "did not heal and she developed more problems," the lawsuit claims.
Just two months later, Espino performed another revision surgery.
"I'm thinking what the hell is going on," Moore said.
At the end of 2024, Espino abruptly left Richmond Breast Center, according to the lawsuit, and moved to Alabama to take a part-time position at the University of Alabama at Birminghams Montgomery Breast Surgery Program.
A new breast surgeon at the Richmond Breast Center saw Moore and delivered news that she said left her devastated.
"She said to me she read all my medical, and she would never have done a double mastectomy," Moore said.
According to medical records quoted in the lawsuit, the new surgeon wrote that Moore's mammogram "did not show any concerning abnormalities" and that she "would not have recommended risk-reducing mastectomies."
She also noted Espino "is not a board-certified plastic surgeon.
"From the very beginning to the very end, this was mismanaged," Dr. Lewis Ladocsi, a board-certified plastic surgeon with Richmond Plastic Surgeons, said.
Ladocsi performs breast reconstruction surgeries and works with a lot of patients who have breast cancer or genetic mutations. The Scripps News Group station in Richmond, Virginia, showed him Moore's medical records.
"Although her breast cancer risk was high, about twice what is the normal breast cancer risk, the appropriate management for that situation was closer observation, it was not surgical intervention," Ladocsi said.
Moore has now filed a medical malpractice lawsuit in Richmond Circuit Court.
"You can never go back after a woman has a mastectomy," Moore's attorney, Rand Robins with LANTZ & ROBINS, P.C., said. "To take that away from her when it never needed to happen is unforgivable."
Robins argues that Espino acted "in violation of the standard of care" and was "highly motivated by the money she earned for performing these procedures.
He also claims CJW Hospitals and HCA negligently credentialed Espino to perform reconstructive surgeries, alleging in the lawsuit that she was not professionally qualified to perform reconstructive and plastic surgery."
Espino completed a general surgery residency at VCU in 2016 and a breast surgical oncology fellowship at Northwestern in 2017, according to the Virginia Board of Medicines practitioner information.
Two years later, she talked about breast cancer screening and prevention on CBS 6's Virginia This Morning program.
"I want patients to look in the mirror and be happy with who they are and happy with what they look like in 5 years, 10 years, 15 years," Espino said on the show at the time.
According to the lawsuit, plastic surgeons generally perform breast reconstruction, and "it is very unusual for a breast surgeon to perform breast reconstruction procedures."
"Do breast surgeons [typically] do breast reconstruction like the implants?" Hipolit asked Dr. Ladocsi.
"Typically they do not," he replied. "The patients have to look for plastic surgeons when they have reconstruction of any sort, and they have to look for the interlocking arcs of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons on the doctor's business cards or logo or websites."
Moore has also filed a complaint with the Virginia Board of Medicine, and hopes to get strong enough for one more surgery to repair the damage.
But she says the emotional harm she's suffered is irreparable.
"Shame on you, shame on you, I can't even cry anymore because I am just so mad," she said.
CBS 6 tried to contact Dr. Espino.
Attorney Elizabeth Papoulakos, a partner with Harman Claytor Corrigan and Wellman, responded with the following statement:
"Dr. Espino is a board-certified general surgeon, currently licensed in Virginia and Alabama to practice medicine and surgery. Her practice is focused on the comprehensive breast care for women, including but not limited to mastectomies, breast reconstruction and breast conserving surgery. She also treats benign disease and performs surgical breast biopsy and reduction mammoplasty. Dr. Espino attended medical school at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine, completed a general surgery residency at VCU Health in Richmond, Virginia, and completed a breast surgery fellowship at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago, Illinois. During this specialized fellowship, Dr. Espino was trained by surgical oncologists and plastic surgeons to perform breast oncologic and reconstructive surgery. Dr. Espino received certification in oncoplastic breast surgery in 2023 from the National Consortium of Breast Surgery. Dr. Espino was previously employed as a breast surgeon with Richmond Breast Center in Richmond, Colonial Heights and Spotsylvania, Virginia. Dr. Espino was credentialed and had privileges at multiple Richmond area hospitals to practice oncoplastic breast surgery."
Chippenham and Johnston Willis Hospital, HCA, and another defendant in the lawsuit have filed motions to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing in part that she filed her lawsuit too late.
In its response, CJW denies it made the decision to permit Espino to perform complex breast reconstruction surgeries for patients and denies it was highly profitable for CJW when Espino performed mastectomies and breast reconstruction surgeries together.
When we asked HCA Healthcares Capital Division about Moores claims, spokesperson Wes Hester sent us the following statement:
"Dr. Sasa Espino was previously credentialed by Chippenham and Johnston-Willis Hospitals to perform breast reconstruction surgeries. Dr. Espinos request for privileges was carefully reviewed by a Credentials Committee and Medical Executive Committee. These committees evaluate many factors including the providers formal training, certifications, licenses, and past surgical experienceincluding procedures performed during residency, fellowship, and at other facilities. The committees also review case logs and other documentation to ensure the provider has demonstrated competency in the requested procedure. Our hospital providers are continuously evaluated through an ongoing professional practice review to maintain high standards of care."
In the days ahead, we'll introduce you to another former patient who has filed a lawsuit alleging Espino botched her breast surgery.

A West Palm Beach federal employee who worked without pay during the recent government shutdown is now facing eviction after his apartment management company refused to grant him extra time to pay his rent.
Francisco Isern, who spent 20 years serving in the Army and now works in IT for the Department of Veterans Affairs, was required to work during the shutdown because his job is considered "mission critical."
Isern hoped the shutdown wouldn't last long, but as it stretched into its second month, he couldn't pay November's rent.
For the first time in his 10 years living at his West Palm Beach apartment building, Isern missed a rent payment.
He sent a letter to the property management company explaining his situation as a federal worker going without pay and requesting extra time to pay once he received his back pay.
"I think I have a fair reason why I'm not, you know? It's out of my control," Isern told the Scripps News Group station in West Palm Beach.
Federal worker asks landlord for extra time to pay rent, landlord files eviction
The management company didn't respond until Wednesday, when Isern received a text message stating:
"Good morning, Francisco. Eviction has been filed. Total balance with filing fees is $2,427.00."
Isern's rent is $1,750 per month, but he said the fees aren't his biggest concern.
"It's a serious business, you know? You put [an] eviction notice on my record. What are my chances of getting leased under my name after this?" Isern said.
Patrick Franklin, president and CEO of the Urban League of Palm Beach County, called the situation "a travesty."
"I wish we had the funds to help him in this situation, but our funds a lot of our funds for emergency relief are tied to government funding," Franklin said.
Franklin said his organization has spoken with multiple federal workers unable to cover their bills during the shutdown, but none facing eviction. He noted that the conventional advice is to ask landlords for more time.
"Taxpaying Americans here in this country that are being affected all the way down the line, and for us not to have that knowledge to feel that? Shame on us," Franklin said.
Multiple attempts to reach the management company for comment were unsuccessful.
"I give respect and I expect respect back. And that was disrespectful on their part," Isern said.
With the shutdown ended and back pay expected, Isern is unlikely to lose his home. However, he's vowing to fight to get the eviction filing removed from his record.
"My name, my reputation is on the line, and they're threatening my reputation right now," Isern said.
Isern said he expects to receive his first missed paycheck early next week. The Urban League has offered to help intervene and work things out with his landlord.

Federal officials confirmed that a surge of immigration enforcement in North Carolina's largest city had begun as agents were seen making arrests in multiple locations Saturday.
"We are surging DHS law enforcement to Charlotte to ensure Americans are safe and public safety threats are removed," Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.
Local officials, including Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles, criticized such actions, saying in a statement they "are causing unnecessary fear and uncertainty."
"We want people in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County to know we stand with all residents who simply want to go about their lives," said the statement, which was also signed by County Commissioner Mark Jerrell and Stephanie Sneed of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg education board.
The federal government hadn't previously announced the push. But Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden confirmed earlier this week that two federal officials had told him that Customs agents would be arriving soon.
Paola Garcia, a spokesperson with Camino a bilingual nonprofit serving families in Charlotte said she and her colleagues have observed an increase in Border Patrol and ICE agents pulling people over since Friday.
"Basically what we're seeing is that there have been lots of people being pulled over," Garcia said. "I even saw a few people being pulled over on the way to work yesterday, and then just from community members seeing an increase in ICE and border patrol agents in the city of Charlotte."
Willy Aceituno, a Honduran-born U.S. citizen, was on his way to work when he saw Border Patrol agents chasing people.
"I saw a lot of Latinos running. I wondered why they were running. The thing is, there were a lot of Border Patrol agents chasing them," he said.
Aceituno, a 46-year-old Charlotte resident, said he himself was stopped twice by Border Patrol agents. On the second encounter, they forced him out of his vehicle after breaking the car window and threw him to the ground.
"I told them, 'I'm an American citizen," he told The Associated Press. "They wanted to know where I was born, or they didn't believe I was an American citizen."
Finally, he was allowed to go free after showing documents that proved his citizenship.
Charlotte is a racially diverse city of more than 900,000 residents, including more than 150,000 who are foreign-born, according to local officials.
Local organizations responded by having trainings, trying to inform immigrants of their rights, and considering peaceful protests. President Donald Trump's administration has defended federal enforcement operations in cities like Los Angeles and Chicago as necessary for fighting crime and enforcing immigration laws.
But Gov. Josh Stein, a Democrat with a Republican-majority legislature, said Friday that the "vast majority" of those detained in these operations have no criminal convictions, and some are American citizens."
He urged people to record any "inappropriate behavior" they see and notify local law enforcement about it.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department had emphasized ahead of time that it isn't involved in federal immigration enforcement.
Acceding to President Donald Trump's demands, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said Friday that she has ordered a top federal prosecutor to investigate sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's ties to Trump political foes, including former President Bill Clinton.
Bondi posted on X that she was assigning Manhattan U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton to lead the probe, capping an eventful week in which congressional Republicans released nearly 23,000 pages of documents from Epstein's estate and House Democrats seized on emails mentioning Trump.
Trump, who was friends with Epstein for years, didn't explain what supposed crimes he wanted the Justice Department to investigate. None of the men he mentioned in a social media post demanding the probe has been accused of sexual misconduct by any of Epstein's victims.
Hours before Bondi's announcement, Trump posted on his Truth Social platform that he would ask her, the Justice Department and the FBI to investigate Epstein's "involvement and relationship" with Clinton and others, including former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers and LinkedIn founder and Democratic donor Reid Hoffman.
Trump, calling the matter "the Epstein Hoax, involving Democrats, not Republicans," said the investigation should also include financial giant JPMorgan Chase, which provided banking services to Epstein, and "many other people and institutions."
"This is another Russia, Russia, Russia Scam, with all arrows pointing to the Democrats," the Republican president wrote, referring to special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of alleged Russian interference in Trump's 2016 election victory over Bill Clinton's wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Asked later Friday whether he should be ordering up such investigations, Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One: "I'm the chief law enforcement officer of the country. I'm allowed to do it."
In a July memo regarding the Epstein investigation, the FBI said, "We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties."
The president's demand for an investigation and Bondi's quick acquiescence is the latest example of the erosion of the Justice Department's traditional independence from the White House since Trump took office.
It is also an extraordinary attempt at deflection. For decades, Trump himself has been scrutinized for his closeness to Epstein though like the people he now wants investigated, he has not been accused of sexual misconduct by Epstein's victims.
None of Trump's proposed targets were accused of sex crimes
A JPMorgan Chase spokesperson, Patricia Wexler, said the company regretted associating with Epstein "but did not help him commit his heinous acts."
"The government had damning information about his crimes and failed to share it with us or other banks," she said. The company agreed previously to pay millions of dollars to Epstein's victims, who had sued arguing that the bank ignored red flags about criminal activity.
Clinton has acknowledged traveling on Epstein's private jet but has said through a spokesperson that he had no knowledge of the late financier's crimes. He also has never been accused of misconduct by Epstein's known victims.
Clinton's deputy chief of staff Angel Urea posted on X Friday: "These emails prove Bill Clinton did nothing and knew nothing. The rest is noise meant to distract from election losses, backfiring shutdowns, and who knows what else."
Epstein pleaded guilty in Florida in 2008 to soliciting prostitution from an underage girl, but was spared a long jail term when the U.S. attorney in Florida agreed not to prosecute him over allegations that he had paid many other children for sexual acts. After serving about a year in jail and a work release program, Epstein resumed his business and social life until federal prosecutors in New York revived the case in 2019. Epstein killed himself while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
Summers and Hoffman had nothing to do with either case, but both were friendly with Epstein and exchanged emails with him. Those messages were among the documents released this week, along with other correspondence Epstein had with friends and business associates in the years before his death.
Nothing in the messages suggested any wrongdoing on the men's part, other than associating with someone who had been accused of sex crimes against children.
Summers, who served in Clinton's cabinet and is a former Harvard University president, previously said in a statement that he has "great regrets in my life" and that "my association with Jeffrey Epstein was a major error of judgement."
On social media Friday night, Hoffman called for Trump to release all the Epstein files, saying they will show that "the calls for baseless investigations of me are nothing more than political persecution and slander." He added, "I was never a client of Epstein's and never had any engagement with him other than fundraising for MIT." Hoffman bankrolled writer E. Jean Carroll's sexual abuse and defamation lawsuit against Trump.
After Epstein's sex trafficking arrest in 2019, Hoffman said he'd only had a few interactions with Epstein, all related to his fundraising for MIT's Media Lab. He nevertheless apologized, saying that "by agreeing to participate in any fundraising activity where Epstein was present, I helped to repair his reputation and perpetuate injustice."
Bondi, in her post, praised Clayton as "one of the most capable and trusted prosecutors in the country" and said the Justice Department "will pursue this with urgency and integrity to deliver answers to the American people."
Trump called Clayton "a great man, a great attorney," though he said Bondi chose him for the job.
Clayton, the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission during Trump's first term, took over in April as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York the same office that indicted Epstein and won a sex trafficking conviction against Epstein's longtime confidante, Ghislaine Maxwell, in 2021.
Trump suggested while campaigning last year that he'd seek to open up the government's case files on Epstein, but changed course in recent months, blaming Democrats and painting the matter as a "hoax" amid questions about what knowledge he may have had about Epstein's yearslong exploitation of underage girls.
On Wednesday, Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released three Epstein email exchanges that referenced Trump, including one from 2019 in which Epstein said the president "knew about the girls" and asked Maxwell to stop.
White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt accused Democrats of having "selectively leaked emails" to smear Trump.
Soon after, Republicans on the committee disclosed a far bigger trove of Epstein's email correspondence, including messages he sent to longtime Trump ally Steve Bannon and to Britain's former Prince Andrew, now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Andrew settled a lawsuit out of court with one of Epstein's victims, who said she had been paid to have sex with the prince.
The House is speeding toward a vote next week to force the Justice Department to release all files and communications related to Epstein.
"I don't care about it, release or not," Trump said Friday. "If you're going to do it, then you have to go into Epstein's friends," he added, naming Clinton and Hoffman.
Still, he said: "This is a Democrat hoax. And a couple, a few Republicans have gone along with it because they're weak and ineffective." __
Bedayn reported from Denver. Associated Press writer Chris Megerian aboard Air Force One contributed to this report.
A man has been arrested after federal officials alleged that he destroyed property while trying to confront New Jersey's top federal prosecutor, Alina Habba.
Keith Michael Lisa, 51, has been arrested, FBI spokesperson Emily Molinari confirmed Saturday.
Molinari did not say when or where Lisa was arrested, what charges he might face, whether he was in jail, or when he might go before a judge. It's unclear whether Lisa is represented by a lawyer. The federal public defender in Newark didn't immediately respond to an electronic message Saturday asking whether it was representing Lisa.
The FBI on Friday had offered a reward of up to $25,000 for information about Lisa, saying he was wanted on charges of destroying government property and possession of a dangerous weapon inside a U.S. court facility. That bulletin said Lisa tried to enter a federal office building in downtown Newark on Wednesday with a bat and was turned away. Lisa returned without the bat, the bulletin said, and was admitted. He then went to the U.S. Attorney's office, where Habba works, and destroyed property, the bulletin said.
Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote in a post on X on Saturday that the FBI, U.S. Marshals Service and U.S. Homeland Security Investigations had worked together to arrest Lisa.
"No one will get away with threatening or intimidating our great U.S. attorneys or the destruction of their offices," Bondi wrote.
Habba was previously President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, representing him in various cases and acting as his spokesperson on legal matters. She served as a White House adviser briefly before Trump named her as interim U.S. attorney in March.
"We got him," Habba wrote on X on Saturday. "This Justice Department under Attorney General Pam Bondi and our federal partners will not tolerate any acts of intimidation or violence toward law enforcement. So grateful to the FBI, U.S. Marshals Service and U.S. Homeland Security Investigations for their tireless work to capture him. Now justice will handle him."
Bondi had vowed that federal officials would find and prosecute the person, writing earlier that "Any violence or threats of violence against any federal officer will not be tolerated. Period."
Trump formally nominated Habba as New Jersey's permanent U.S. attorney on July 1, but the state's two Democratic U.S. senators, Cory Booker and Andy Kim opposed it, stalling the confirmation process.
A few weeks later, as Habba's 120-day interim appointment was expiring, New Jersey federal judges moved to replace her with her second-in-command. Bondi then fired that prosecutor and renamed Habba as acting U.S. attorney.
Last month, the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments in a case challenging her appointment. It hasn't ruled.

A Mega Millions player in Georgia won the $980 million jackpot on Friday, overcoming abysmal odds to win the huge prize.
The numbers selected were 1, 8, 11, 12 and 57 with the gold Mega Ball 7.
The winner overcame Mega Millions' astronomical odds of 1 in 290.5 million by matching all six numbers. The next drawing will be on Tuesday.
A winner can choose an annuity or the cash option a one-time, lump-sum payment of $452.2 million before taxes. If there are multiple jackpot winners, the prize is shared.
There were four Mega Millions jackpot wins earlier this year, but Friday's drawing was the 40th since the last win on June 27, a game record, officials said.
In September, two Powerball players in Missouri and Texas won a nearly $1.8 billion jackpot, one of the largest in the U.S. The current Mega Millions jackpot isn't among the top 10 U.S. lottery jackpots but would be the eighth-largest for Mega Millions since the game began in 2002.
Other prizes
Mega Millions offers lesser prizes in addition to the jackpot. The odds of winning any of these is 1 in 23.
There were more than 800,000 winners of non-jackpot prizes from the Nov. 11 drawing.
Tickets are $5 each and are sold in 45 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Half the proceeds from each Mega Millions ticket remains in the jurisdiction where the ticket was sold. Local lottery agencies run the game in each jurisdiction and how profits are spent is dictated by law.
Gambling addictions
Sometimes, gambling can become addictive.
The National Council on Problem Gambling defines problem gambling as "gambling behavior that is damaging to a person or their family, often disrupting their daily life and career."
It is sometimes called gambling addiction or gambling disorder, a recognized mental health diagnosis. The group says anyone who gambles can be at risk.
It's National Problem Gambling Helpline, 1-800-522-4700, connects anyone seeking assistance with a gambling problem to local resources.

President Donald Trump has publicly called it quits with one of his most stalwart MAGA-world supporters, calling Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene "'Wacky' Marjorie" and saying he would endorse a challenger against her in next year's midterms "if the right person runs."
The dismissal of Greene once the epitome of "Make America Great Again," sporting the signature red cap for President Joe Biden's 2024 State of the Union address and acting as a go-between for Trump and other Capitol Hill Republicans appeared to be the final break in a dispute simmering for months, as Greene has seemingly moderated her political profile. The three-term U.S. House member has increasingly dissented from Republican leaders, attacking them during the just-ended federal government shutdown and saying they need a plan to help people who are losing subsidies to afford health insurance policies.
Accusing the Georgia Republican of going "Far Left," Trump wrote that all he had witnessed from Greene in recent months is "COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN, COMPLAIN!" adding, of Greene's purported irritation that he doesn't return her phone calls, "I can't take a ranting Lunatic's call every day."
In a response on X, Greene wrote Friday that Trump had "attacked me and lied about me." She added a screenshot of a text she said she had sent the president earlier in the day about releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files, which she said "is what sent him over the edge."
Greene called it "astonishing really how hard he's fighting to stop the Epstein files from coming out that he actually goes to this level," referencing next week's U.S. House vote over releasing the Epstein files.
Writing that she had supported Trump "with too much of my precious time, too much of my own money, and fought harder for him even when almost all other Republicans turned their back and denounced him," Greene added, "I don't worship or serve Donald Trump."
Trump's post seemingly tied a bow of finality to fissures that widened following this month's off-cycle elections, in which voters in the New Jersey and Virginia governor races flocked to Democrats in large part over concerns about the cost of living.
Last week, Greene told NBC News that "watching the foreign leaders come to the White House through a revolving door is not helping Americans," saying that Trump needs to focus on high prices at home rather than his recent emphasis on foreign affairs. Trump responded by saying that Greene had "lost her way."
Asked about Greene's comments earlier Friday as he flew from Washington to Florida, Trump reiterated that he felt "something happened to her over the last month or two," saying that, if he hadn't gone to China to meet leader Xi Jinping, there would have been negative ramifications for jobs in Georgia and elsewhere because China would have kept its curbs on magnet exports.
Saying that people have been calling him, wanting to challenge Greene, Trump added, "She's lost a wonderful conservative reputation."
Greene's discontent dates back at least to May, when she announced she wouldn't run for the Senate against Democratic incumbent Jon Ossoff, while attacking GOP donors and consultants who feared she couldn't win. In June, she publicly sided with Tucker Carlson after Trump called the commentator "kooky" in a schism that emerged between MAGA and national security hardliners over possible U.S. efforts at regime change in Iran.
That only intensified in July, when Greene said she wouldn't run for governor. Then, she attacked a political "good ole boy" system, alleging it was endangering Republican control of the state. Greene embarked on a charm offensive in recent weeks, with interviews and appearances in media aimed at people who aren't hardcore Trump supporters. Asked on comedian Tim Dillon's podcast if she wanted to run for president in 2028, Greene said in October, "I hate politics so much" and just wanted "to fix problems" but didn't give a definitive answer.
That climaxed with an appearance on Bill Maher's HBO show "Real Time," followed days later by a Nov. 4 appearance on ABC's "The View." Some observers began pronouncing Greene as reasonable as she trashed Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana for not calling Republicans back to Washington and coming up with a health care plan.
"I feel like I'm sitting next to a completely different Marjorie Taylor Greene," said "The View" co-host Sunny Hostin.
"Maybe you should become a Democrat, Marjorie," said co-host Joy Behar.
"I'm not a Democrat," Greene replied. "I think both parties have failed."
A man was fatally shot at an unauthorized barbershop business inside a Detroit school Friday night, police said.
The shooting happened around 6:45 p.m. at Charles Wright Academy of Arts and Science on Berg Road near 7 Mile Road.
Watch Carli Petrus' report from the scene below: Man shot and killed inside Detroit school at unauthorized barbershop business
Police said they were notified about the shooting after someone drove the victim to the hospital. The driver gave police information including the location.
Officers went to the school to investigate and see if there were any more victims. When they got there, they learned that a contracted janitor at the school was running an unauthorized barbershop-style operation in the back of the school after hours.
Police said someone texted the janitor saying they wanted a haircut. Another person arrived at the school and opened fire on the janitors customer during his hair cut.

The victim was a 21-year-old man, police said.
The janitor was not hurt.
No Detroit public schools staff members or students were at the school at the time.
There is no further threat to the community and police believe the people involved know each other. Police said they know the identity of the suspects and are looking for them.
The school district released a statement:
Detroit Public Schools Community District can confirm that a shooting occurred this evening on the grounds of Charles Wright Academy after school hours. The incident involved a contracted custodian and individuals who are not part of the school community. According to police, one individual was fatally wounded. At this time, there is no indication that DPSCD students or staff were involved in the conflict or targeted. The District is cooperating fully with law enforcement as the investigation continues.
President Trump on Friday ordered carveouts for specific items under his tariff policies in an attempt to stabilize food prices.
The president signed an executive order to exempt specific agricultural products and other food goods from reciprocal tariffs, effective immediately.
The broad list include beef products, beans, nuts, produce like tomatoes and bananas, tea, coffee and spices.
We just did a little bit of a rollback on some foods like coffee, President Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.
President Trump acknowledged Friday that his tariff policies have translated to increased costs for American consumers.
I say they may, in some cases," he said.
But to a large extent theyve been borne by other countries, he said.
The White House said the original tariff rates on foods and other goods were in many cases no longer necessary because of new trade agreements with foreign trading partners.
Those framework agreements will apply to countries including Ecuador, Guatemala, El Salvador and Argentina.
The White House also announced a new tariff reduction with Switzerland, where it intends to reduce its rate to 15%. In return, Switzerland is expected to lower duties on certain industrial and agricultural products. Swiss companies are expected to invest about $200 billion in the United States.
We expect by the end of President Trump's term for that trade deficit with Switzerland to be eliminated because of these kinds of moves," said Jamieson Greer, U.S. Trade Representative. "Also more importantly, there's going to be structural opening of Switzerland to the United States. Switzerland on the industrial side already has fairly low tariffs, but they've agreed to remove all industrial tariffs. They've agreed to give us market access for things like poultry, which is really challenging for the U.S. and Europe. So it's actually quite an important development that Switzerland is willing to do that. Of course they'll give us access on pork and beef and seafood and a variety of other products that we make. So it's an exciting opportunity."
Disney reached a new agreement with YouTube Friday to return content from major networks like ESPN and ABC to YouTube TV's subscription service.
"Subscribers should see channels including ABC, ESPN, and FX returning to their service over the course of the day," YouTube said in a social media message Friday.
Disney channels became inaccessible on YouTube TV at the end of October due to unresolved contract disputes. Channels offering content from ESPN, ABC, National Geographic and some college sports went dark on YouTube's platform.
YouTube TV originally said Disney's terms for the deal were too expensive and limiting for its users, and accused Disney of using its content as leverage in negotiations.
Disney countered that it wasn't getting fair rates from YouTube. It said YouTube, which is owned by Google, was using its market dominance to eliminate competition and undercut the industry-standard terms weve successfully negotiated with every other distributor.
The blackout ran for about two weeks.
The companies say their new agreement will extend for multiple years.
This new agreement reflects our continued commitment to delivering exceptional entertainment and evolving with how audiences choose to watch," the companies said in a joint statement.
We are pleased that our networks have been restored in time for fans to enjoy the many great programming options this weekend, including college football.
An ongoing contract impasse between ABC and YouTubeTV has ended. The current black out for WXYZ-TV in our viewing area should end shortly.
YouTubeTV posted the following update to their blog Friday evening:
Were happy to share that weve reached an agreement with Disney that preserves the value of our service for our subscribers and future flexibility in our offers. Subscribers should see channels including ABC, ESPN and FX returning to their service over the course of the day, as well as any recordings that were previously in their Library. We apologize for the disruption and appreciate our subscribers patience as we negotiated on their behalf.

Comic book fans, cosplayers and pop culture enthusiasts gathered at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi Friday afternoon for the opening day of the annual Motor City Comic Con.
The three-day event, which runs through Sunday, drew crowds of attendees dressed as their favorite characters from comics, movies, video games and TV shows. From Spider-Man rocking out on guitar to elaborate Harley Quinn costumes, the convention floor was filled with creative displays of fandom.

"I love this place. This is one of my favorite places to be," said Micheal, one of the attendees.
Jordan, another convention-goer, explained the appeal of dressing up.
"We really look forward to dressing up and showing off our costumes," Jordan said.
The elaborate costumes require significant time and effort to create. Jackson spent over a month crafting his costume's arms and accessories.
"Took me over a month to make the arms and everything, but it was worth it," Jackson said.
Mason showcased his detailed costume featuring 3D-printed elements and custom pieces.
"Shield is 3D printed. Helmet is 3D printed. Pistol is a custom one I got on Amazon," Mason said.
The convention drew such large crowds that lines extended outside the venue, with vendor spaces filling up quickly on the convention floor.
Beyond the costumes, attendees found community and connection at the event. Killean and Lex, dressed as superheros, described encountering other fans in costume.
"Right when we got here, we had a Joker come up to us," Killean said. "It's a very heartwarming experience."
Lex noted the welcoming atmosphere.
"It just makes me feel comfortable, at home," Lex said.
Ashley appreciated finding others who share similar interests.
"Finding some like-minded people," Ashley said.
The convention also featured celebrity guests, including comic book artist Enid Balam, who has been drawing since age 5 or 6 and now creates art for Marvel Comics.
"I try to find things that resonate with my interests. It's healthy to draw many things," Balam said.
Aleah, an attendee admiring the artwork, said she appreciates the creativity on display.
"I admire art and everyone's work," Aleah said.
Beth Burland, president of Motor City Comic Con, became emotional discussing the 35-year family business that began with her brother's passion for comics and was supported by their father, who has since died. She continues to carry on the family legacy.
"Every time I come to this show, I see my mom and dad everywhere," Burland said. "If you just enjoy having a great time, this is the place for you to be."
The Motor City Comic Con continues through Sunday. Children under 12 receive free admission on Sunday. More information about the event including the celebrity guest appearances and tickets, visit motorcitycomiccon.com.

Stock indexes were mixed Friday as a lack of economic data muddied the waters for investors. And analysts preparing their outlooks for 2026 are doing so without key economic information due to the government shutdown.
The Nasdaq closed higher Friday with a gain of 0.1%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average trimmed its loss to 309 points after being down nearly 600 points earlier in the day.
This slight recovery follows Thursday's closing plunge, marking the worst single day drop for the S&P 500 in a month.
Despite the government shutdown coming to an end, the economic effects will linger, according to Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council.
"Our council of economic advisors said that it cost about $15 billion a week," he said on Thursday.
Investors initially entered the second half of the year expecting multiple rate cuts, according to Investopedia's Caleb Silver.
With delayed economic data, like the monthly jobs report and inflation metrics, traders now question whether a December cut to interest rates will actually happen.
"Now the picture looks a little bit cloudier because we don't have hard government data, but the Federal Reserve is looking at the fact that prices continue to rise, that's inflation, due to tariffs and other causes, and the labor market is slowing," Silver said.
On Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt blamed Democrats for the lack of "critical government data."
"The democrats may have permanently damaged the federal statistical system with October CPI and jobs reports likely never being released," Leavitt said.
On Friday, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics announced it will release information regarding September employment on Nov. 20. This will be the first look at any jobs data from the government since the start of the government shutdown.
Hassett said data will be compiled and released as it's available but confirms some information will stay in the dark.
"We will never know what the unemployment rate was in October because there wasn't a household survey," Hassett explained. A delayed October jobs report would still include a nonfarm payroll count, but the household survey from which the unemployment rate is derived wasn't completed.
With high valuations and anxiety around an AI bubble, Silver said it's understandable for investors to be on edge.
"A pullback like this, 5% or so is not crazy, especially in a year where we've had such aggressive gains," Silver said.
The Federal Reserve meets again in early December. The Fed cut its interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point at each of the previous two meetings after holding steady for the bulk of the year.
What Fed officials will decide in December is a tossup. Especially with missing and delayed data points, another rate cut is not guaranteed. Cutting rates would help protect the labor market, but keeping rates the same is a move to help combat inflation.
Detroit city leaders officially broke ground on an $80 million affordable housing development in the Brush Park neighborhood today, marking what officials are calling one of the most significant affordable housing investments the city has seen in years.

Detroit breaks ground on $80 million affordable housing project in Brush Park
The ceremonial groundbreaking took place next to the historic Brewster Wheeler Recreation Center, where Mayor Mike Duggan and other officials gathered to kick off the project that will bring 211 affordable housing units to the area.
"The beauty is we're building this right downtown right next to this beautiful community center," Duggan said. "It's the quality of life and the quality of housing that our residents deserve, and we are very excited about it today."
The development will feature four new buildings designed to serve different housing needs in the community. One building will be dedicated specifically to Detroiters facing chronic homelessness, offering programs to help residents get back on their feet. The remaining three buildings will provide 159 affordable apartments for the broader community.
Rental prices will start at $368 for one-bedroom units and $438 for two-bedroom apartments. Each unit will include a sizable footprint and in-unit washer-dryers.
Van Fox, president of MHT Housing, outlined additional amenities planned for the development.
"We will have the soccer field, football field, we're going to have the pocket parks, we are going to have all the appropriate inclusive parking," Fox said.
The project has generated excitement among longtime Brush Park residents who have watched the neighborhood transform over the years.
"To see the transformation in Detroit as a whole has been amazing. Truly amazing," said Beatrice Spears, a Brush Park resident.
Uraina Fisher, another neighborhood resident, expressed particular enthusiasm about the recreation center's revival. She recalled bringing her children to the facility after school for homework help and swimming.
"We fought hard to keep this building alive because they wanted to get rid of it, but we fought as a family, and we kept it," Fisher said.
For younger Detroit residents like Bobreese Hicks, who recently left foster care, the affordable housing represents crucial support.
"I feel like any little help that you can get is vital, especially housing," Hicks said. "Everybody needs somewhere to stay."
"I will say just having affordable living is a good thing," he added.
Construction crews hope to complete the entire project by the beginning of 2027.
