3 things to understand about the 3 new women’s accusations about Josh Jacobs: 1) they went to police. not lawyers, not media. there was literally nothing for them to “gain” by going to police, apart from the desire to help the fourth victim
Smear campaign on Jacobs man we gotta stop. No charges why is that coming out anonymously like that when he never got in trouble I don’t like that
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Josh Jacobs pleaded no contest to misdemeanor battery and criminal damage to property after his May arrest and was placed on the NFL exempt list. Additional prior allegations from three women were included in police records released publicly via records request. espn.com/nfl/story/_/id… nytimes.com/athletic/75783… espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

Two months after his mom was detained by ICE, Samuel Gonzalez Terrones, 21, died by suicide. “To the ICE agent who took away my mother: I hope it was worth it,” Samuel wrote. “I can’t handle anymore injustices in this world.” When the family broke the news to his mother, still in detention, agents wouldn't let each other hug. latimes.com/politics/story/2… heartbreaking story by @andreamcastillo

Thinking about Jordin Canada, Monique Billings, Charisma Osborne, Kennedy Burke, Michaela Onyenwere, Japreece Dean and all the great players who built this UCLA program over the last 15 years. It’s been a long journey and so many people made this possible for this amazing team.

My heart breaks for Tyler Bilodeau. Guy was one of the best offensive players in college basketball and has his college career end with back-to-back DNPs in the NCAA Tournament. No program has been more snake bitten with injuries in March over the past five years than UCLA.

Incredible reporting by the team at WSJ. The government is covering up its crackdown on political opposition with bogus charges and claims of assaults. They are defaming hundreds of people and erasing the first amendment

An absolute disgrace — and it will produce an even larger disconnect between audience retention and the Washington Post brand. They gutted this outlet and the only people who will emerge wealthier are the ones who gutted it.
NEW: Washington Post executive editor Matt Murray says the paper will be closing its sports department in its current form and plans to cover it as a "cultural phenomenon." “We plan to retain several reporters to join features” and cover sports through there, he tells staff

People ask me what my favorite part of working at The Post is and I often tell them my granddad. A native Washingtonian, he’s an avid sports fan. When I was hired in 2021, it was a full-circle moment for my family. Serving local readers like him is a privilege. #SaveThePost

It’s impossible to focus on anything else when secret police with free reign to murder whoever they want are running around

We need to take seriously that the Trump admin: 1. Insists their agent was right to execute an innocent woman in the street 2. Labeled her a deserving domestic terrorist 3. Are surging 1,000 more agents who now know they have the president's personal backing to execute bystanders
1,000 additional Border Patrol agents are scheduled to surge Minneapolis very soon, per DHS sources including a senior official. There's currently about 2k agents on the ground. DHS is sharply placing its focus on MSP. Border Patrol tells us more immigration agents free up HSI investigators to continue probing the fraud.

I've been reporting in East Africa on the impact of President Trump's USAID cuts, and I find that not only are children dying in large numbers but the pace is accelerating as stockpiles run out and people grow weaker. I also obtained an internal Trump administration memo stating that the cost of shutting down USAID is $6.4 billion over two years. That sum could save more than 1 million children's lives; instead, it is being spent to to shut down programs that save lives. Help spread the word. nytimes.com/2025/09/20/opini…

Hannah Einbinder on saying "Free Palestine" in her Emmys acceptance speech. "It is my obligation as a Jewish person to distinguish Jews from the state of Israel. Our religion and our culture is such an important and long-standing institution that is really separate to this sort of ethnonationalist state." bit.ly/3KlW7oN
