Former Tennessee Titans and Arizona Cardinals running back Chris Johnson revealed that he has been diagnosed with ALS in an interview with ABC’s “Good Morning America.” Johnson, a three-time Pro Bowler and former Offensive Player of the Year, told GMA co-anchor Michael Strahan that he was diagnosed in 2025. The disease has progressed so rapidly that Johnson uses a speech-generating device based on recordings of his voice to speak, with his eyes triggering the device. “I’m still me. ALS has changed what my body can do, but it hasn’t changed who I am,” Johnson said. “If sharing my story helps even one person get diagnosed sooner, inspires more research, or gives another family hope, then it’s worth it,” he continued.

He earned the nickname CJ2K after he rushed for 2,006 yards in 2009, which still ranks seventh in NFL history. He broke the NFL’s single-season record for yards from scrimmage that season (2,509) and was named The Associated Press NFL Offensive Player of the Year. Titans owner Amy Adams Strunk released a statement on Johnson’s diagnosis, noting that the former running back’s “leadership on the field, in addition to his impact in the locker room and Nashville community have written him permanently into the story of this franchise.” Strunk said the Titans would support Johnson throughout his journey. The Cardinals said in a social media post that they are “sending strength, love and support” to Johnson The Jets and NFL Players Association also released messages of support for Johnson. ALS, which is an acronym for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and is commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a neurodegenerative condition that affects nerve cell communication with muscles throughout the body. The disease leads to muscle weakness and can cause deterioration of the ability to move, speak and breathe. Johnson rushed for 9,651 yards and 55 touchdowns, while adding another 2,255 yards and nine receiving touchdowns in his 10 NFL seasons. There is currently no known cure for ALS. Some treatments may slow down the progression of the disease and improve quality of life for ALS patients. According to the NIH, most people diagnosed with ALS die from respiratory failure within three to five years of symptoms first appearing. However, around 10 percent of people with the disorder live 10 years or more.

An effort to support ALS research in honor of Chris Johnson has been established at the Sean M. Healey & AMG Center for ALS, which Cudkowicz, his doctor, leads. “I can’t even hold a cup if I try, and that’s despite being diagnosed relatively early and doing everything we can, including participating in multiple experimental treatments,” Chris Johnson said. “That’s why early detection, more research, and better treatments are so important. We have to give people a better chance than what’s available today.” He said he not only wants to share his story to raise awareness of ALS, but also to let people know that he is still the Chris Johnson they know from his NFL days and beyond.

Ford has rehired more than 300 veteran human engineers after AI failed to match their skills and experience in the automaker’s production process. “Artificial intelligence is a fantastic tool, but it’s only as good as the information you use to train it,” said Charles Poon, vice president of vehicle hardware engineering, according to BBC. “Over prior years, we didn’t pay as much attention as we should have to the experience of our most knowledgeable engineers that have been with us through many product cycles,” he added. Poon said the manufacturer mistakenly thought that “introducing artificial intelligence and ingesting the design requirements” it had would “produce a high quality product.” Ford rehires human engineers after AI fails to match quality checks https://t.co/qCXegzDALN — BBC News (UK) (@BBCNews) June 29, 2026 BBC has more: The US automaker is among many to have seized on the buzz around AI, particularly amid Wall Street fervour about the tech’s potential to increase margins. “AI will leave a lot of white collar people behind,” Ford boss Jim Farley said in an interview with author Walter Isaacson last June. In an October earnings call, chief operating officer Kumar Galhotra said the firm was “deploying AI across the entire industrial system”. This included rolling out 900 AI-powered cameras in its plants “to detect quality issues at the source and help us mitigate supply disruptions”, Galhotra told investors. But Poon told reporters on Wednesday the firm’s AI-driven checks had failed to live up to expectations. “We recognized that for us to enhance some of our automation and machine learning and artificial intelligence tools, we needed to ensure that they were trained by the most experienced individuals,” Poon said, according to Fox Business. In recent years, Ford has faced an unprecedented number of vehicle recalls. The recalls have impacted millions of vehicles. Ford had to hire back engineers that they replaced with robots to help fix the robots that replaced them. Ford suffered 94 recalls and hundreds of millions of dollars in losses before realizing humans were still essential. pic.twitter.com/PlUpp8bYpB — Pubity (@pubity) June 26, 2026 Fox Business shared further: The Detroit giant said that it has hired about 300 veteran engineers to work in its vehicle engineering division in the last few years. “Free from daily production schedules, these engineers now act as internal auditors, running mandatory weekly design reviews to hunt for and eliminate potential failure points before blueprints ever reach the factory floor,” Ford said in a release. Ford Chief Operating Officer Kumar Galhotra said that the experienced engineers and technical specialists were “at the heart” of the company’s efforts to improve production quality by addressing process issues before they’re incorporated into workflows. Ford CEO Jim Farley told Bloomberg TV that the shift is helping improve the company’s financial performance, with spending on warranty coverage and recalls coming down, which in turn is boosting the automaker through cost reductions. JD Power’s 2026 IQS not only placed Ford at the top of the list for the first time in 16 years, but it also ranked the Ford F-150, Ford Mustang and Ford Super Duty at the top of their respective segments for the second straight year.

This is bigger than one fired commissioner. On June 29, 2026, the Supreme Court handed President Trump a major win on presidential power, and it knocked down a shield the administrative state had been hiding behind for nearly a century. The case is Trump v. Slaughter, and at its heart is a simple question. Do the people who exercise the President’s executive power actually answer to the elected President, or do they get walled off by Congress and the courts? The Court said they answer to the President. Chief Justice John Roberts delivered the opinion for a 6-3 majority. The holding is blunt: the Federal Trade Commission’s for-cause removal provision is contrary to the separation of powers enshrined in the Constitution. And if anything meaningful was left of the old precedent that let agency officials defy the President, the Court overruled it. That precedent is Humphrey’s Executor, a 1935 ruling that for 90 years served as the legal excuse for independent agencies to ignore presidential direction. It is now gone. The final opinions for today are in Trump v. Slaughter and Trump v. Cook. In Slaughter, the court holds that the FTC’s for-cause removal provision is contrary to the separation of powers enshrined in the Constitution and overrules Humphrey's Executor. https://t.co/R9Zraldsb5 — SCOTUSblog (@SCOTUSblog) June 29, 2026 Here is how we got here. Soon after President Trump began his second term in January 2025, he fired the FTC’s two Democratic appointees, Rebecca Slaughter and Alvaro Bedoya. The administration told them their continued service at the FTC was inconsistent with the administration’s priorities, and it cited the President’s Article II authority. Slaughter, a former aide to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, refused to accept it and sued to get her seat back. She pointed to the FTC Act, which said commissioners could be removed only for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office. A federal district judge in D.C. sided with Slaughter and issued an injunction. The D.C. Circuit denied the government’s request for a stay. Then the Supreme Court stepped in. It stayed the lower-court order, granted certiorari before judgment, and heard argument on December 8, 2025. The Supreme Court docket lays out the full procedural path for No. 25-332, including the September 2025 stay and cert-before-judgment order, the December 8 argument, and the June 29 judgment reversing and remanding the case. The questions presented were explicit: whether the FTC’s removal protections violate separation of powers, whether Humphrey’s Executor should be overruled, and whether a federal court can stop a removal from public office through legal or equitable relief. That matters because this was not a routine appeal inching through the system. The Court took the case before the D.C. Circuit had finished, put the lower-court order on hold, and moved straight to the constitutional fight over who controls executive officers. The docket also shows the lineup: Roberts wrote for the Court; Justice Gorsuch concurred; and Justice Sotomayor dissented, joined by Justices Kagan and Jackson. The reasoning is what makes this so significant. The Court explained that the FTC today exercises real executive power. It writes rules, brings enforcement actions, runs adjudications, conducts investigations, and files civil suits on behalf of the United States. Officers who wield the President’s power, the Court said, must be removable by him. That keeps them accountable to the President, and it keeps the President accountable to the people who elected him. Roberts wrote that neither Congress nor the courts may saddle the President with subordinates he cannot work with. And he made clear that if anything more remained of Humphrey’s, the Court overrules it. And there it is. Supreme Court rules: "The FTC’s for-cause removal provision is contrary to the separation of powers enshrined in the Constitution." Need to dig into this but likely big implications for agencies https://t.co/3DXEOIyETH — Ben Brody (@BenBrodyDC) June 29, 2026 The New York Post framed the decision as a ruling that President Trump acted lawfully when he fired Slaughter, with Roberts writing the 6-3 opinion. The Post’s timeline is useful because it ties the legal fight back to the March 2025 firings of Slaughter and Bedoya, the two Democratic FTC commissioners President Trump removed after taking office for his second term. It also notes Slaughter’s connection to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and the argument she leaned on: the FTC Act language saying commissioners could be removed only for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance in office. The lower courts initially gave Slaughter momentum. A D.C. federal judge and an appeals panel both sided with her before the Supreme Court stayed those rulings in September 2025, then used the case to address a broader separation-of-powers battle. Now for the honest caveat, because this matters. The decision does not settle every removal question across the entire government. The majority left open questions about certain offices and even noted the Federal Reserve tradition as a possible different category. On the same day, in Trump v. Cook, the Court denied the government’s bid to stay a lower-court order tied to the attempted removal of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. So the Fed fight continues on its own track. But on the core principle, the message is unmistakable. Officials who exercise executive power belong to the executive branch, and the elected President sits at the top of it. President Trump celebrated the ruling on Truth Social, calling it a big win and framing it as confirmation of his Article II power to remove executive branch officers and agency appointees. He noted that presidents had been seeking this outcome since the 1930s and called it one of the most important presidential-power rulings ever.

For decades, the entrenched bureaucracy treated Humphrey’s Executor as a permanent get-out-of-accountability card. That card just got torn up. The administrative state always wanted it both ways, exercising the President’s power while answering to no one. The Supreme Court just told them the era of being unaccountable is over.

If you’re sick of watching interest charges devour your paycheck like a starving pit bull on a steak, pay attention, because we’re going to talk about the closest thing to free money the banks have ever been forced to cough up. Right now, a handful of cards are handing out 0% interest for up to 21 months on both new purchases and balance transfers. No tricks, no “gotcha” in the fine print that only a Harvard lawyer can decode — just pure, uncut breathing room. These aren’t fly-by-night outfits; they’re the big, boring banks your grandma trusted, the ones with vaults thicker than a politician’s skull and fraud protection that actually works when some teenager in Romania tries to buy a jet ski with your number. You move your existing debt over in the first 60–90 days and suddenly that $8,000 at 24% is sitting pretty at zero. Do the math — that’s two grand you don’t flush down the toilet. Picture this: next Christmas rolls around and you’re not sweating bullets. You buy the gifts, book the trip, fix the furnace, whatever, and nothing bleeds interest for almost two years while you pay it down on your terms. Good credit? You’re in like Flynn. Fair credit? A couple of these will still roll out the red carpet. The application takes five minutes, and half the time you get an answer before your coffee gets cold. Most have no annual fee — none, zero, zip — so the card can sit in your wallet earning dust or earning rewards, your call. Some of these beasts even waive late fees completely. Miss a payment because life exploded? No $40 spanking and no credit-score gut punch. That alone is worth its weight in gold-plated titanium. When the intro period ends, the ongoing rate is sane — not the 79% loan-shark nonsense you see on late-night TV. Plus you’re stacking cash back, travel miles, or points on groceries, gas, and everything else you were going to buy anyway. You’re looking at 21-month runways. That’s long enough to kill off revolving debt, remodel the kitchen, or fund the side hustle without paying a dime in interest if you play it smart. Fraud? They’ve got real-time alerts, one-tap card freeze, and zero liability. Your money is safer than a squirrel’s nut stash under six feet of snow. Balance-transfer fees are posted in plain English up front — usually 3% or less — so there’s no “surprise” that makes you want to throw your laptop out the window. Bottom line: these deals are the financial equivalent of finding a loaded wallet on the sidewalk with a note that says “keep it.” You keep scrolling past these offers and nothing changes. You click, fill out the short form, and suddenly you’re the one in control instead of the credit-card companies.  A tip: Don’t just apply for one card – apply for three at one time and see which get approved. Stop wrestling with interest charges that grow faster than a teenager’s gaming habit. Grab one of these 0% offers before the bean counters wake up and kill them. One click here, five minutes, and you just handed yourself a raise you’ll feel every single month.  Your move. The clock’s ticking, and these intro periods won’t last forever.

A day at the beach in Genoa turned into a police matter after a man allegedly committed a public sex act in front of families and children. It happened at the free beach in Pegli, on Genoa’s western waterfront, next to the Bagni Mediterranee bathing establishment. Someone called law enforcement. Local police showed up and identified the man on the spot. He was reported to authorities for obscene acts in a public place, and according to local reporting he is a legal immigrant in Italy. È successo a Genova, nello specifico alla spiaggia libera di Pegli, a fianco ai Bagni Mediterranee. Il soggetto, un immigrato REGOLARE, è stato identificato e denunciato a piede libero per atti osceni in luogo pubblico. https://t.co/mSlB4gXSQu — Francesca Totolo (@fratotolo2) June 25, 2026 Il Secolo XIX reported that video from the free beach at Pegli, beside the Bagni Mediterranee, showed a man allegedly performing an obscene act in front of a crowd made up largely of families. The outlet said someone called police, officers intervened, and the man was identified and reported for obscene acts in a public place. It described him as a legal immigrant in Italy and said the video spread fast online, with local beach operators saying residents were shaken by how openly the whole thing happened and by the fact that children could be heard nearby. The local paper also placed the scene beside a known bathing area, which is why the family-beach setting is central to the outrage and not a throwaway detail. This was not a hidden incident in a quiet corner. It was the middle of the day, in plain view, with kids around. And the crowd did more than stand there. Il Giornale d’Italia reported the incident at the Pegli public beach on June 25, 2026, with families and children nearby, adding a second Italian account of the video and the reaction on the sand. It said some beachgoers shouted at the man and physically pushed him back as the scene played out, which is the detail that turned the story from a police call into a public-order flashpoint. The report also said the neighborhood reaction moved quickly from outrage over the video to demands for public-order action from city leaders, including calls for better security and basic decency in the area. That is ordinary people doing what ordinary people should not have to do at a family beach in the middle of summer. The political fallout came quickly. The same outlet reported that Stefano Balleari, president of Liguria’s regional council, condemned the episode and said conduct like this in front of children and families cannot be minimized. Residents were not satisfied with one police response either. Il Giornale d’Italia reported that locals in Pegli were preparing a petition to Genoa mayor Silvia Salis demanding urgent action on security, public order, and livability in the neighborhood. That is the part the political class tends to ignore. People do not file petitions over a one-off. They file them when they feel like the basic rules of a shared public space are no longer being enforced, and when they sense nobody in charge is going to fix it for them. A free public beach is supposed to be one of the easiest things in the world to keep decent. Families show up, kids play, lifeguards watch the water, and the worst problem is usually sunburn. When that breaks down in broad daylight, in front of children, the reaction in Pegli is not an overreaction. It is people refusing to pretend everything is fine.
