Former North Carolina Officer Charged In Beating Caught On Doorbell Camera Video

SHELBY, N.C. (AP) — A former North Carolina police officer caught on a doorbell camera repeatedly punching a woman in the face was charged Monday with assault. The video of Shelby Officer Karson Hyder pummeling Cherrie Moore on Friday has circulated widely on social media. Hyder, 22, turned himself in to the Cleveland County Detention Center Monday morning and was released on a $10,000 secured bond. Court records do not list an attorney for him, and a phone number associated with his name was out of service. Hyder, who was suspended Friday and fired on Saturday, was responding to a breaking-and-entering call when the scuffle ensued. According to a warrant, Moore, 34, fled the residence on foot and resisted arrest, assaulting Hyder by “grabbing and ripping (his) uniform.” A separate warrant filed Monday alleged Hyder “unlawfully and willfully did assault and strike Cherrie Moore” by grabbing Moore “by the arm, pushing her to the ground and striking her in the face with a closed fist, thereby inflicting serious injury possible broken nose and busted lip.” The State Bureau of Investigation had announced Saturday it had opened an investigation into Hyder. Moore was initially charged with breaking and entering, resisting arrest and assault on a public officer, but the latter two charges have since been dismissed. She was freed on an unsecured bond. A phone number associated with Moore was disconnected. Her attorney, Ronald Haynes, told The Associated Press in an email that Moore “is recovering and receiving treatment for her mental health.” “The heinous actions of former Officer Karson Hyder will forever negatively impact Ms. Cherrie Moore and her family,” Haynes continued. “It’s a small relief that city officials responded so promptly to terminate and charge Mr. Hyder."

Voters Cast Ballots In Primary Races

For a state that’s home to Hollywood, there isn’t much star power in California’s gubernatorial race. It’s a somewhat different story in Los Angeles, where a reality television personality is running for mayor as the city prepares to host the Olympics. More primaries are being held on Tuesday as well. Democrats are banking on a rare chance to regain ground in Iowa, a rural state that has repeatedly eluded them in recent years. Republicans, meanwhile, are grappling with a New Jersey congressman whose unexplained absence could put their already slim majority at risk. — California: Voters are weighing in on who should lead the nation’s most populous state, where there is no clear leader among candidates vying to advance in the race to succeed Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom. Plus, U.S. House races are on the ballot, along with the Los Angeles mayor’s race. — New Mexico: Contests in the state include primaries for congressional seats, a U.S. Senate seat and a long list of statewide offices, but the governor’s race is the main attraction. Former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland is running for the Democratic nomination, which could put her on a historic path for Native American leaders. — New Jersey: One of this year’s most closely watched House midterms will take place in the battleground district represented by Rep. Tom Kean Jr., who has drawn public scrutiny and concern after missing more than 100 House votes due to an undisclosed medical issue. Voters are deciding which Democrat will run against him in November. — Read more about races in Iowa, Montana and South Dakota. Here's the latest: Trump says absent congressman is ‘working tirelessly’ Republican Rep. Tom Kean Jr. is running unopposed in the primary for New Jersey’s 7th congressional district on Tuesday. But he’s facing growing scrutiny for an unexplained medical absence that has stretched for more than three months, causing him to miss more than 100 votes in Congress. Trump weighed in on social media late Monday, saying Kean was “working tirelessly” to support the MAGA agenda. Though Kean isn’t facing any GOP competition today, he’s seeking reelection this fall in one of the few genuinely competitive congressional districts left on the map. Several Democrats vying to take him on in the general election have made his absence — and the lack of clarity surrounding it — a central part of their message. Democrats hope to dislodge GOP incumbent by redrawing his California district Every two years, the attention of the nation’s political class is riveted on a Democratic-leaning congressional district in California’s Central Valley. Republican Rep. David Valadao has been able to fend off repeated Democratic challengers, except in 2018, when he barely lost. But he ran again two years later and reclaimed the seat. Democrats redrew the district to make it even tougher for Valadao. They recruited a moderate who represents the area in the state capital, Assemblywoman Jasmeet Bains, to run against him. But she’s had to battle a more liberal rival, political science professor and school board member Randy Villegas. The primary will determine Valadao’s next opponent. California uses a top-2 primary system That means all candidates are on the same ballot, regardless of their party affiliation. California has used that system for more than a decade. It’s occasionally resulted in two candidates from the same party competing against each other in a general election. That happened most notably in U.S. Senate races in 2016 and 2018, when two Democrats faced off. In the governor’s race, though, one Republican and one Democrat have always advanced to November. Democrats had feared a lockout this year given their large field of candidates. But those worries have diminished in the race’s closing weeks. Republican candidates for governor say California needs a change A Democrat has held the governor’s office since 2011, when Jerry Brown took over from Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger. Democrats have also had a firm grip on the state Legislature. Republicans Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco say that means Democrats are to blame for the state’s expensive gas and housing, its homelessness crisis and a slew of other problems. Both have pledged to reduce regulations and taxes. Hilton has President Donald Trump’s backing. That could help him in the primary but hurt him in the general election in the heavily Democratic state. Republicans will fight hard to keep the Iowa US Senate seat Holding on to Iowa is a big part of the GOP’s plan to keep its U.S. Senate majority. A super PAC affiliated with Senate Republicans has pledged $29 million to help ensure the seat stays in GOP hands. California uses a top-2 primary system That means all candidates are on the same ballot, regardless of their party affiliation. California has used that system for more than a decade. It has occasionally resulted in two candidates from the same party competing against each other in a general election. That happened most notably in U.S. Senate races in 2016 and 2018, when two Democrats faced off. In the governor’s race, though, one Republican and one Democrat have always advanced to November. Democrats had feared a lockout this year, given their large field of candidates. But those worries have diminished in the race’s closing weeks. 5 Republicans want to be Iowa governor The candidates are U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra, state Rep. Eddie Andrews, businessman and former conservative political director Zach Lahn, former state Rep. Brad Sherman and former director of the state Department of Administrative Services Adam Steen. If no candidate earns at least 35% of Republican primary voters, the nominee would be selected at a contested state party convention. Trump endorsed Feenstra on Friday, saying on social media that “Randy is MAGA all the way!” 2 veteran California US House members draw generational challenges The generational fighting that has been ripping through the Democratic Party continues in California’s primaries. In the Los Angeles-area’s 32nd District, 42-year-old lawyer Jake Levine is challenging Brad Sherman, 71, a 15-term member of the House of Representatives. And in the 7th District near Sacramento, 40-year-old city councilwoman Mai Vang is challenging Doris Matsui, 81, who has held the seat since her husband, a congressman himself for decades, died in 2005. California Democrat’s spending dwarfed his rivals Tom Steyer, the former hedge fund manager turned climate activist, spent nearly $200 million of his money on advertising alone. The billionaire’s ad campaign was the most expensive in the country by far this election cycle. The data comes from advertising tracker AdImpact. Steyer’s rivals in the governor’s race and his critics have accused him of trying to buy the election. But he’s defended his spending, saying he is fighting against powerful corporate interests that are driving up the price of living in the state. Pacific Gas & Electric, a major California utility, is among the corporations and business interests funding anti-Steyer ads. “I’m only working for the people of California,” Steyer said last week. 3 Republicans seek party nomination for New Mexico governor They are former mayor of fast-growing Rio Rancho Gregg Hull, cannabis business owner Duke Rodriguez and public relations professional Doug Turner. While Hull and Turner have not aligned their campaigns with the MAGA movement, Rodriguez was recently served a cease-and-desist letter from a law firm representing Trump for “deceptive use” of the president’s image in campaign materials. That contest's winner faces an uphill battle to win in a state where a Republican has not been elected to statewide office in 10 years.

White House Correspondents' Association Dinner To Be Held On July 24

Florida Sues OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman Over ChatGPT Safety Claims

Florida has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, accusing the company of concealing safety risks while aggressively promoting ChatGPT to the public. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced the lawsuit Monday, alleging that OpenAI suppressed internal warnings and misled users about the capabilities and potential dangers of its artificial intelligence products. The complaint cites two recent criminal cases in which suspects allegedly used ChatGPT during the planning of violent attacks. State officials argue the cases raise concerns about how advanced AI systems can be misused and whether companies have adequately disclosed those risks to consumers. OpenAI has rejected the allegations. The company says its models repeatedly encouraged the individuals involved in the cited cases to seek real-world assistance, including help from mental health professionals. OpenAI also said it cooperated with law enforcement investigations in both incidents. The lawsuit marks one of the most significant legal challenges yet involving the safety and accountability of artificial intelligence technology. It comes as lawmakers, regulators, and technology companies continue debating how AI tools should be governed and what responsibilities developers have when their products are misused. Florida is seeking damages and other remedies through the lawsuit, though the case is expected to face a lengthy legal process as courts weigh questions about AI safety, consumer protection, and corporate responsibility.

Voters Cast Ballots In Primary Races

Florida Sues OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman Over ChatGPT Safety Claims

Florida has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, accusing the company of concealing safety risks while aggressively promoting ChatGPT to the public. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced the lawsuit Monday, alleging that OpenAI suppressed internal warnings and misled users about the capabilities and potential dangers of its artificial intelligence products. The complaint cites two recent criminal cases in which suspects allegedly used ChatGPT during the planning of violent attacks. State officials argue the cases raise concerns about how advanced AI systems can be misused and whether companies have adequately disclosed those risks to consumers. OpenAI has rejected the allegations. The company says its models repeatedly encouraged the individuals involved in the cited cases to seek real-world assistance, including help from mental health professionals. OpenAI also said it cooperated with law enforcement investigations in both incidents. The lawsuit marks one of the most significant legal challenges yet involving the safety and accountability of artificial intelligence technology. It comes as lawmakers, regulators, and technology companies continue debating how AI tools should be governed and what responsibilities developers have when their products are misused. Florida is seeking damages and other remedies through the lawsuit, though the case is expected to face a lengthy legal process as courts weigh questions about AI safety, consumer protection, and corporate responsibility.
