Today’s Rundown:
- ABC PULLS ‘JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE!’ AFTER KIRK COMMENTS: ABC suspended Jimmy Kimmel Live! indefinitely after Kimmel’s remarks about reactions to Charlie Kirk’s killing. The network said the show won’t air “for the foreseeable future,” but did not share a return date or further details. The move sparked a debate about free speech and network standards during a tense political moment. Kimmel has not issued a full public statement beyond his on-air comments. Industry watchers say advertisers and election-season sensitivities likely played a role.
- BODY IN TESLA REGISTERED TO SINGER D4VD ID’D AS 15-YEAR-OLD: Authorities identified the body found in a towed Tesla registered to singer D4vd as 15-year-old Celeste Rivas. Police discovered the remains at a Hollywood tow yard after the car was impounded; the cause of death remains under investigation. Detectives say there’s no indication D4vd was involved, and his team has cooperated. The case raised questions about tow-yard protocols and how long the vehicle sat before the discovery. Officials asked the public to avoid spreading rumors while the coroner completes tests.
- THREE OFFICERS KILLED, TWO INJURED IN RURAL PENNSYLVANIA: Three police officers were shot and killed, and two others were injured, during an incident in North Codorus Township, Pennsylvania. Officials said the shooting occurred during a follow-up in a domestic-related case; the suspected gunman was killed at the scene. Investigators from state and federal agencies are assisting, and the names of the fallen officers will be released after family notifications. Gov. Josh Shapiro called it one of the state’s darkest days for law enforcement in years. Community vigils and processions began by nightfall.
- PAPER CHECKS FOR SOCIAL SECURITY AND MOST FEDERAL PAYMENTS ENDING: The Treasury Department said the federal government will stop issuing paper checks for most payments on September 30, 2025. Beneficiaries still receiving checks are being urged to switch to direct deposit or Direct Express cards to avoid disruptions. Social Security reiterated the transition in public notices this month. The change is meant to cut costs, reduce fraud, and speed up delivery. People who need help switching can contact their paying agency or visit SSA resources online.
- 84-YEAR-OLD HOMEOWNER SUES BAD BUNNY OVER ‘ICONIC HOUSE’: An 84-year-old Puerto Rican homeowner filed a lawsuit claiming Bad Bunny used his distinctive home’s likeness in a music video and a concert “La Casita” replica without proper consent or compensation. The suit alleges he was misled into signing papers he couldn’t read and was paid only $5,200 despite massive exposure. He’s seeking at least $1 million for damages and emotional distress. The case also highlights privacy concerns as fans flocked to the neighborhood. Bad Bunny’s camp has not issued a detailed response yet.
- CARDI B CONFIRMS PREGNANCY WITH STEFON DIGGS: Cardi B announced she is pregnant with her first child with NFL receiver Stefon Diggs, her fourth child overall. She shared the news in a CBS Mornings interview, saying she feels excited and supported. The baby is due before her planned arena tour in early 2026. The couple went public earlier this year after months of speculation. Fans celebrated online while media tracked how the news could affect upcoming projects.
- JERRY GREENFIELD LEAVES BEN & JERRY’S OVER ‘STIFLED’ ACTIVISM: Ben & Jerry’s co-founder Jerry Greenfield said he’s resigning, arguing that parent company Unilever no longer allows the level of social-issue advocacy the brand once exercised. Greenfield had helped shape the company’s activist identity for decades. Unilever declined to comment in detail, while Ben & Jerry’s acknowledged the change and praised his legacy. The departure could alter how outspoken the brand is on political issues. Analysts note the balancing act between corporate ownership and mission-driven branding.
- CENTRAL PARK GROUP BACKS PHASING OUT HORSE CARRIAGES: The nonprofit that manages Central Park endorsed a plan to wind down horse-drawn carriages, pointing to rising bike and stroller traffic and safety concerns. The stance adds momentum to a long-running push by animal-welfare advocates. Mayor Eric Adams has also voiced support and ordered stricter enforcement of existing rules. Carriage drivers say they’re being unfairly targeted and warn of job losses. City lawmakers will ultimately decide whether to pass a ban or a phase-out.
