Animal rights extremist wanted for U.S. bombings caught in Wales after more than 20 years on the run

Authorities stated Tuesday that an animal rights extremist who is suspected of carrying out two explosions in Northern California over 20 years ago was apprehended in Wales.

Tyreek Hill traffic violations that led to Dolphins star being handcuffed by police are dropped

Tyreek Hill, a wide receiver with the Miami Dolphins, was unceremoniously sacked for traffic infractions that resulted in a heated police altercation captured on camera two months ago. Records showed that police did not appear in court on Monday. Patricia Henrys, the Miami-Dade County Traffic Infraction Hearing Officer, rejected Hill's claims of reckless driving and not wearing a seat belt, stating "lack of prosecution officer/witness." "Where all the internet cops now," Hill wrote on X in response to a post by Andy Slater, a WMEN radio presenter who initially reported the dismissal, seemingly spiking the football on Tuesday. Miami-Dade police seemed taken aback by the case's dismissal. On Tuesday, a representative referred to it as "an oversight." "The Miami-Dade Police Department is awar...

Senate report slams airlines for raking in billions in seat fees

Large and small U.S. airlines were criticized by a Senate subcommittee on Tuesday for charging to select seats on flights. The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations reported that between 2018 and 2023, American, Delta, United, Spirit, and Frontier brought in $12.4 billion in seating fees, including for seats with extra legroom and those in preferred locations closer to the front of the plane, or window or aisle seats. According to the report, United's revenue from seating fees reached $1.3 billion last year, surpassing revenue from checked bags for the first time since at least 2018. Standard economy tickets no longer require a ticket change fee, however the majority of major U.S. airlines have introduced fees for choosing more popular or spacious seats. In an effort to boost rev...

Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield files nearly $12 million lawsuit against his father’s company 

In a federal complaint, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield accused his father, James Mayfield,'s financial firm of not repaying roughly $12 million that was obtained without his consent. On Friday, the 29-year-old NFL player filed a $11.7 million civil case in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas. According to the lawsuit, between 2018 and 2021, Camwood Capital Management Group paid over $12 million to a company named Texas Contract Manufacturing Group "without his authorization, proper documentation, or adequate accounting of the transactions" from Mayfield and his wife. According to the lawsuit, Camwood reportedly spent the funds "however they desired," which may include paying for acquisitions or ordinary running costs. Plaintiffs were the main source o...

Over 18,000 sign up for Supreme Court seats and federal judgeships in Mexico

According to officials on Monday, more than 18,000 people have registered online to contest for federal judgeships and Supreme Court seats in Mexico's controversial new selection method. In the end, however, a random drawing will decide who is on the ballot. In September, the ruling party pushed through a constitutional amendment that would require all federal judges to run for office, doing away with the current system in which lawyers and court personnel mostly advance via the ranks. Numerous protests against the reforms have been organized by current court personnel and their allies, who claim that the changes are part of a ruling-party effort to undermine independent regulatory and monitoring organizations and erode checks and balances. Candidates for federal judgeships and Supreme Cou...
