The phrase “there is more to the story” is an understatement when it comes to what is currently unfolding in Michigan. The University of Michigan fired head coach Sherrone Moore Wednesday, citing an inappropriate relationship with a staffer. That itself is huge news for one of the nation’s premier football programs, but buckle up. There’s more. In just a few short hours, Moore was terminated from his head coaching position and is now in the custody of the Washtenaw County Sheriff’s Office, according to booking records, though no charges have been filed at this time. It appears that Moore was initially taken into custody by the Pittsfield Township Police Department. Pittsfield police said it took an unnamed suspect into custody Wednesday evening as part of an assault investigation. According to the department, a man was taken into custody in the 3000 block of Ann Arbor-Saline Road in Pittsfield Township — this is just a few miles south of the University of Michigan. The suspect was then booked into the Washtenaw County Jail, where he awaits his first court appearance on Friday. Officials with the department said the incident doesn’t appear to be random in nature, and there is no ongoing threat to the community. The Daily Wire reached out to Pittsfield Police Thursday morning in reference to Moore’s case and was told no further details on this case are being shared at this time. The police department directed The Daily Wire to a press release involving an assault investigation. The university said that it fired the 39-year-old coach following an investigation into Moore’s improper relationship with a staff member. “U-M head football coach Sherrone Moore has been terminated, with cause, effective immediately,” Michigan Athletic Director Warde Manuel Manuel said on Wednesday. “Following a University investigation, credible evidence was found that Coach Moore engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. This conduct constitutes a clear violation of University policy, and U-M maintains zero tolerance for such behavior.” An author who has covered Michigan Football for decades said in an interview Thursday morning with Fox 2 Detroit that Moore and his staffer were investigated this summer and both denied any relationship. Bacon said Wednesday that story changed when the staffer reported the relationship to the university. “She went on the ‘hill’ (where administration offices are) with the receipts, the text messages, the emails, the documents and so on laying out the details of the relationship,” Bacon said on Fox 2. Bacon then opened up about what allegedly led to Moore being taken into custody. “He broke into the employee’s home in Pittsfield Township…grabbed a knife apparently and threatened to harm her and harm himself,” Bacon said. Bacon also said that Moore is being monitored by mental health professionals while in custody. Christmas Sale – Get 40% off New DailyWire+ Annual Memberships ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported Wednesday after the firing that Michigan investigated Moore this fall after receiving a tip about the situation with the staffer, but the university didn’t find credible evidence. On Wednesday, however, university officials presented “overwhelming” evidence against Moore, and he was quickly dismissed. ESPN’s Adam Schefter said on Thursday morning, “What we haven’t heard yet is Sherrone Moore’s side of this, and he gets his say in this particular situation as well. I do know that he felt like people had it in for him for an awful long time there while he was at Michigan. He felt like there were people who are out to get him. So all these things can all be true.” The firing comes days after National Signing Day, when Moore landed a No. 12-ranked recruiting class. Before the drama unfolded on Wednesday, Moore was part of another controversy. Earlier this season, he served a two-game suspension for the illegal advanced scouting scheme involving former Michigan Football staffer, Connor Stallions. Moore leaves Michigan with a 17-8 overall record. His final loss was against rival Ohio State. Biff Poggi will serve as Michigan’s interim head coach in the Citrus Bowl against Texas on December 31.

A rapidly growing measles outbreak in South Carolina is forcing hundreds into quarantine and exposing how years of confused public health messaging and weak border controls can ripple through American communities. SOUTH CAROLINA MEASLES OUTBREAK—THE CATASTROPHIC COST OF OPEN BORDERS The rapidly escalating measles outbreak in South Carolina, forcing hundreds into quarantine, is the shocking plot exposed that proves the catastrophic cost of open borders and institutional failure. This highly contagious, imported disease is exploiting the immunity gaps created by confused public health messaging and the Deep State agenda that prioritized ideological projects over securing the nation’s perimeter. The forced quarantines are a stark reminder of the tyrannical tactics of the pandemic era returning, but this time, the blame rests squarely on Washington’s deliberate failure to screen and protect the border. This represents a profound betrayal of public trust in basic government functions.

This mismanagement created the foreseeable catastrophe: an imported disease reaching communities with vulnerable immunity gaps. Furthermore, years of shifting narratives and mandates during the COVID era have left conservatives so skeptical that essential health measures now collide with individual liberty, complicating the response. The New Left’s prioritization of ideological purity over public safety has left American communities exposed.

The virus exploits every weakness in the system, and the primary weakness was the open border. With Trump back in the White House, the focus must shift immediately: prioritize border security, demand transparent and targeted policy that respects constitutional limits, and use this outbreak as an early test for a restrained, common-sense health policy that earns back public trust. The system rewards spending, not success.

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL: A large majority of likely Republican primary voters in four Indiana Senate districts support the Hoosier State’s redistricting effort, even though the senators representing them reportedly plan to oppose it, a new survey shows. Heritage Action surveyed 1321 likely Republican primary voters in the four districts represented by Sens. Ed Charbonneau, Blake Doriot, Travis Holdman, and Ryan Mishler. The survey ran from Dec. 5 to Dec. 10. When asked, “Do you agree that Indiana should pass new congressional maps to protect our voice in Congress?” more than two-thirds (68.3%) said yes, while 23.5% said no. Researchers only spoke to likely Republican primary voters in Mishler’s district on Monday. In that district, 75% of respondents said they support redistricting, while only 16.7% said they oppose it, for a ratio of 4.5 to 1. While the survey is not scientific, it does suggest firm support for the maps. President Donald Trump has advocated mid-decade redistricting ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. The Indiana House passed the GOP-backed congressional map, known as Map 90, on Friday, in a 57-41 vote. The proposal advanced out of the Indiana Senate Elections Committee Monday night, and reports suggest the upper chamber may vote on it this week. Republicans represent seven out of the Hoosier State’s nine congressional districts, but analysts suggest the new map would give the two Democrat-held districts to Republicans, leading to a 9-0 congressional delegation from Indiana. Republicans hold a slim 219-213 majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, with three vacancies. Map 90 may bolster that majority. Redistricting, the process of redrawing districts for representation in the U.S. House of Representatives, gained renewed attention after the Texas Legislature restarted the process earlier this year. Trump has encouraged Republicans to seek advantages through redistricting, and Democrats responded by demanding redistricting of their own. The Government Accountability Office found that the 2020 census undercounted Republican-leaning states and overcounted Democratic-leaning states, further leading Trump to call for mid-decade redistricting. Republicans enjoy hefty majorities in the Indiana House (70-30) and Senate (40-10), but the bill’s fate remains uncertain, as some Republican lawmakers have expressed concerns about mid-decade redistricting. State Sens. Eric Bassler, Greg Walker, and Kyle Walker, opponents of the redistricting measure, are not seeking reelection next year, CBS News reported. The Daily Signal reached out to Charbonneau, Doriot, Holdman, and Mishler, but they did not immediately respond to a request for comment. This story will be updated with any response.

Today, the Indiana State Senate will vote on redistricting legislation that could help Republicans hold the House in the midterms and save President Donald Trump from future Democrat impeachments. The bill to change Indiana’s congressional map from a 7-2 Republican advantage to a 9-0 sweep will be voted on by Indiana’s Senate this afternoon. The map has already passed in the Indiana State House, but despite the fact that Republicans hold 40 out of the 50 seats in the upper Chamber and that the map has earned the support of Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., the legislation could potentially fail. Indiana Lieutenant Governor: ‘I Don’t Think We Have the Votes’ The Daily Signal spoke with Indiana Lieutenant Governor Micah Beckwith about the upcoming vote. “I’ll be honest with you, I don’t think we have the votes,” Beckwith said, adding, “It seems like [President pro tempore of the Indiana Senate Rodric Bray] is putting a lot of pressure on people to not stand with Trump, and so I think there, I think it’s personal for him.” Bray has previously been criticized for slow-playing Indiana’s effort to redistrict. While conservative grassroots organizations have enthusiastically embraced the effort to help Republicans nationally, some Indiana GOP lawmakers are hesitant to support the effort. Trump’s Impeachment Is on the Line, Conservatives Say Beckwith did not hesitate to discuss the consequences of failing to send enough Republicans to Washington. “If we lose the House because Democrats keep stealing Republican seats, then we’re going to see Trump getting impeached. We’re going to see the cabinet being dragged before kangaroo court committees,” he explained. Sen. Jim Banks, R-Ind., also stressed the importance of today’s vote on X. “Big moment for Indiana today. Democrats have rigged the system over and over again and always get away with it. Indiana State Senators have a chance to finally fight back with a fair and legal map that represents Indiana,” Banks wrote. Big moment for Indiana today. Democrats have rigged the system over and over again and always get away with it. Indiana State Senators have a chance to finally fight back with a fair and legal map that represents Indiana.— Jim Banks (@Jim_Banks) December 11, 2025 Matt Carpenter, the director of FRC Action, the legislative affiliate of the Family Research Council, which operates a political grassroots network, told The Daily Signal in a statement that “Already, multiple articles of impeachment against President Trump have been filed—and for what reason? No one really knows. Now they’ve filed articles of impeachment against Secretary [Robert] Kennedy as well.” Beckwith also expressed concern that Democrat control in 2026 could lead to unlimited efforts to stymie the Trump agenda. “You know, [Secretary of War Pete Hegseth] will probably never be able to not have a day where he’s not subpoenaed,” Beckwith said. “I mean, they’re going to do everything to stall the American First agenda that the American people voted for last year. So, this is a save our nation moment right now.” Carpenter agreed. “Should the GOP lose control of the House in 2026, their Democrat counterparts will waste no time in doing all they can to tie down the Trump and Republican agenda ahead of 2028, playing Lilliputian to the Trump administration’s Gulliver,” Carpenter said. In a Truth Social post on Wednesday, Trump also said failure risks “los[ing] everything to the Democrats.” “Anybody that votes against Redistricting, and the SUCCESS of the Republican Party in D.C., will be, I am sure, met with a MAGA Primary in the Spring,” Trump wrote. “If Republicans will not do what is necessary to save our Country, they will eventually lose everything to the Democrats.” There Will Be Consequences for Voting Against New Map Republicans control 40 of the 50 state senate seats. Even so, it may come down to the lieutenant governor of Indiana having to break a tie in the chamber in his capacity as the president of the Indiana State Senate. Beckwith believes that Trump’s primary threat is real, and that there will be electoral consequences for opposing the grassroots and the America First agenda. “I’m telling you the base is fired up, and the Trump administration is already saying they’re going to put seven, maybe even eight figures into a super PAC for Indiana,” he said. Beckwith also told The Daily Signal that while the Indiana redistrict effort has been nationalized, failure will harm Indiana residents as well. “I think this is really going to hurt Hoosiers in the long run, because it’s just going to show Washington that we have no respect for them, and we don’t want to partner with them,” the lieutenant governor claimed. “I don’t think [Bray’s] doing this in a way, thinking about, really the outcome for Hoosiers and working with the White House,” Beckwith contended. A Generational Problem Beckwith, who is 43, attributed some of the Republican reluctance to support the bill to a generational divide among the GOP.   “I would say the older generation that I see in the senate right now, they embody the spirit of Neville Chamberlain like we can make peace with evil. We just have to negotiate with evil. It’ll be fun,” Beckwith said.  Beckwith pointed to the issue of transgenderism in particular as a watershed moment for younger Republicans in the state and country. “We’ve seen what wokeism does to lives. People that we love and care about when they go down the transgender path, because they learned it at school through the government, and then it destroys their lives,” Beckwith stated. “These older senators, they didn’t have to go through school when boys were using girls bathrooms. They never experienced that in their classrooms. They never experienced the absolute, egregious assault on constitutional values and Christianity in the public classroom,” he added. Monica Boyer, a Heritage Action Sentinel (grassroots advocate) from Warsaw, Indiana, told The Daily Signal, “The stakes could not be higher. If Democrats win the majority, the Democrat agenda will take over our state. They stand for mutilating our children, infiltrating our classrooms, and working against families, against Hoosiers, and against the mandate voters gave President Trump.” “Today, the Senate needs to decide if they will stand for the people of America– or if they won’t. This decision is truly a decision for the future of Indiana. Right now, us Hoosiers are afraid for our future, for the values we hold dear, and for our great country. Senators, we ask you to stand with Hoosiers!” Boyer continued. This post has been updated.
