Marshall University President Brad Smith and his wife, Alys Smith, have made a $50 million gift to the university to promote a program aimed at eliminating student debt, the school said Tuesday.

The gift is the largest ever given to the public research university and the largest given by any sitting university president to their own institution, the school said.

The money will go toward Marshall For All, a program that allows students to combine scholarships, grants, family contributions and work opportunities to obtain a bachelors degree without having to apply for student loans.

Nico Karagosian, president and CEO of the Marshall University Foundation, called the gift transformative.

Marshall, which has nearly 10,000 undergraduate and 3,000 graduate students, plans to expand the program with the goal of enabling all students to graduate debt-free by the universitys 2037 bicentennial.

We are honored to support Marshall University and the Marshall For All program with this gift, Brad and Alys Smith said in a statement released by the university. Our why is simple: to level the playing field in West Virginia and Appalachia."

The program currently has two tracks. One covers full tuition and fees for West Virginia students with a family income below $65,000. The other offers a debt-free bachelors degree along with real-world experience for randomly selected students either from the state or eligible out-of-state counties within a certain distance of the Huntington campus.

Brad Smith, a former CEO of software company Intuit, became Marshalls president in January 2022. During his investiture later that year a date chosen to honor the his late father's birthday he announced the Marshall For All program.

My father and mother have always been and remain my moral compass," Smith said. They committed to providing an opportunity for their children to attend college and sacrificed to ensure my brothers and I could do so. It was a promise made and kept. Alys and I are blessed to transform that promise into the privilege to pay it forward."

For the first time in nine months, the Federal Reserve has cut its key interest rate, a move that signals a shift toward easing monetary policy. The rate now sits in a range between 4% and 4.25%, down a quarter-point from where it had been since late last year.

But while the rate cut could eventually lower borrowing costs, financial experts caution that the impact on most peoples day-to-day finances wont be immediate.

High inflation continues to squeeze Americans.

Its affecting me. Definitely, certain things have gone up in price, Christopher Robinson, a consumer in Phoenix, said.

And stagnant wages arent helping.

If you're working for lower wages, all the prices seem to be going up, but not the wages as well, David Henzerling, of Scottsdale, Arizona, said.

The rate cut may ease pressure in some areas, but dont expect a quick fix.

I don't know how much people are going to feel this in their day-to-day, Kate Ashford, an NerdWallet Investing Specialist, said. "I think this is going to make borrowing a little bit cheaper, and it's going to drop savings rates, probably a little bit over time. But in your day-to-day life, groceries, gas, healthcare, this isn't really going to drop costs all that much.

Still, Ashford recommends using this shift as an opportunity to reassess your finances and make some strategic moves that can lead to long-term financial gains.

Her advice: focus first on tackling high-interest credit card debt. Look for zero-percent balance transfer cards to consolidate and save money.

Next, make sure you have an emergency fund, ideally enough to cover three to six months of expenses, kept in a high-yield savings account.

She also suggests locking in good rates while they're still available, especially in certificates of deposit (CDs) and online savings accounts.

For those with higher mortgage or auto loan rates, it may be a good time to explore refinancing options to lower your monthly payments.

This is kind of a long game for people. But it is those little steps you take over time that add up in the end, Ashford said.

For homeowners, the rate cut could bring new opportunities - if they act quickly.

This is going to make it easier for you to afford a home, Cynthia Fick, CEO of Financial Life Planners, said. If you already have one, and you're up at, you know, 7% or so in your mortgage rate, you might want to consider refinancing. I don't think interest rates will be going back down to 3% or less, but they may have further to go.

Some consumers say theyre not pretending this is a magic wand.

Theres too many variables at play, Henzerling said.

Still, some consumers say the rate shift is enough to influence their financial strategy.

Its definitely changing the level of risk Im willing to take on in the near future. It's definitely making me make appropriate adjustments to my long-term plan, Robinson said.

Fick encourages consumers to stay grounded but optimistic.

Were going to have volatility. Were going to have ups and downs in all aspects of our financial lives, Rick said. " In the long run, I think were in a very good time, and that investors and consumers should keep an open mind to things going a little bit better than they might think they will.

Marine One was forced to land at a U.K. airfield while carrying President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump.

The incident happened as the president was preparing to leave the country after his second official state visit this year.

"Due to a minor hydraulic issue, and out of an abundance of caution, the pilots landed at a local airfield before reaching Stansted Airport," White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said. "The president and first lady safely boarded the support helicopter."

The Trumps later boarded Air Force One and departed for Washington.

During the visit, Trump held a press conference with Prime Minister Keir Starmer that underscored both alignment and differences on foreign policy, trade and technology.

Speaking about the war in Ukraine, Trump said Russian President Vladimir Putin had let him down, while Starmer insisted Putin does not want peace.

Thursdays schedule was focused on official business, while Wednesday featured more of a royal welcome. The president and first lady met with King Charles and Queen Camilla, who hosted a formal banquet at Buckingham Palace. Prince William and Princess Kate also attended.

Conservationists have filed a lawsuit to halt Florida's first black bear hunt in a decade, arguing that the hunt scheduled for December is unconstitutional and contradicts the state's own policy protecting native species.

State officials approved the hunt in August despite strong opposition. Bear Warriors United filed the complaint against the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission in circuit court in Tallahassee on Wednesday.

The FWCs illegal action undermines its constitutional duty to manage the black bear population based on scientifically supported recommendations, not the whims of the Commission, the complaint reads.

A spokesperson for the agency declined to comment on the pending litigation.

The conservation group previously filed a similar complaint in an administrative court, but voluntarily withdrew it after attorneys for the fish and wildlife agency argued that it isn't subject to an administrative ruling on the issue.

The commission voted unanimously in favor of the hunt last month, including plans to use dogs and target the bears in baited locations. State officials say they need to manage growing bear populations, which the wildlife agency says have recovered significantly.

State officials have also noted an increase in interactions between people and bears, with the animals digging through homeowners' trash cans and injuring or killing farmers' livestock.

We make decisions based on science, Commission Chair Rodney Barreto said at the time.

Opponents have called the hunt a cruel, unnecessary excuse for hunters to bag a trophy animal when the real issue is humans encroaching on bear habitats as the country's third most populous state continues to add people.

There are an estimated 4,000 black bears in Florida, one of the few states with sizable populations that do not have a bear hunting season.

This year's plan has more stringent rules than the 2015 hunt did, when hunting permits were provided to anyone who could pay for them. That led to a chaotic event that shut down days early after 300-plus bears were killed, including at least 38 females with cubs, meaning the young bears probably died too.

Uber Eats will soon be making some meal deliveries with drones.

Uber Technologies said Thursday that it's partnering with drone company Flytrex Inc. The companies expect to begin deliveries in test markets by the end of this year. Uber didn't say where those markets will be, but Flytrex is already operating in Texas and North Carolina.

It's the latest partnership in the fast-growing drone delivery space. Flytrex, which is based in Tel Aviv, Israel, also makes deliveries for Uber Eats' rival DoorDash.

Wing, a drone company owned by Google parent Alphabet, works with DoorDash and Walmart. Zipline, a drone company based in South San Francisco, works with Walmart and Panera Bread and also makes deliveries for hospitals. Amazon also making deliveries with its own Prime Air drones.

"Autonomous technology is transforming mobility and delivery faster than ever before," said Sarfraz Maredia, Uber's president of autonomous mobility and delivery, in a company statement. "With Flytrex, we're entering the next chapterbringing the speed and sustainability of drone delivery to the Uber Eats platform, at scale, for the first time."

"The promise of autonomous vehicles is here, redefining logistics on the ground and in the air," said Noam Bardin, executive chairman of Flytrex. "Autonomous drones are the future of food deliveryfast, affordable, and hands-free. Flytrex has already delivered over 200,000 meals to suburban households in the past three years. Partnering with Uberpioneers of ground-based mobilitybrings together proven logistics expertise with aerial innovation. Together, we're building the infrastructure for a future where autonomous systems seamlessly move goods through our communities, making faster, safer, and more sustainable delivery the new standard."

San Francisco-based Uber is making an investment in Flytrex as part of the deal. Financial details of the partnership weren't shared Thursday.

Flytrex, which was founded in 2013, said it has made more than 200,000 deliveries across the U.S. Flytrex Executive Chairman Noam Bardin said the partnership combines Uber's logistics expertise with Flytrex's aerial innovation.

"Autonomous drones are the future of food delivery fast, affordable and hands-free," Bardin said in a statement.

Turning Point USA has named Erika Kirk, the widow of Charlie Kirk, as the new CEO and chair of the board for the organization.

According to the organization, the late CEO and co-founder of Turning Point USA, who was shot and killed at an event last week, previously expressed that he would want Erika to lead in the event of his death.

Turning Point USA, a political nonprofit organization that advocates for conservative politics on high school and college campuses across the U.S., is headquartered in Phoenix.

Supporters of Kirk have been gathering at a growing memorial at the Turning Point headquarters.

President Donald Trump asked the Supreme Court on Thursday to block a lower court order that reinstated Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, arguing he had cause to remove her over alleged mortgage fraud.

President Trump removed Cook on Aug. 25, but lower courts blocked the move and ordered her reinstated.

RELATED STORY | Appeals court rejects Trump's bid to unseat Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook ahead of rate vote

In the filing with the Supreme Court, Trump's attorneys argue this issue is a case of "improper judicial interference with the Presidents removal authority."

The White House claims Cook committed fraud in 2021 when she purchased two properties. Claiming a primary residence on a mortgage application can lead to a lower mortgage rate and a smaller down payment.

RELATED STORY | Federal Reserve lowers interest rates by 0.25% for the first time in 2025

Cook has denied committing any such offense and has not been charged with a crime.

She participated in this week's Federal Reserve meetings, where the core interest rate was slashed by 0.25 percentage points. It was the first time the rate was cut in 2025.

President Trump has openly criticized the Fed for not lowering rates, while Fed Chair Jerome Powell has voiced concern over elevated inflation.

The man who fatally shot three Pennsylvania officers and injured two before he was killed by police has been identified as 24-year-old Matthew James Ruth, according to a law enforcement official.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity because they werent authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation.

The officers were killed Wednesday while following up on a domestic-related investigation that began on Tuesday. Two more officers were wounded in the shooting and police killed the gunman.

Hours after Wednesdays shooting, community members held American flags and saluted as police and emergency vehicles formed a procession to the coroners office. It was one of the deadliest days for Pennsylvania police this century.

Gov. Josh Shapiro condemned the violence at a news conference and said it was a tragic loss of life. Attorney General Pamela Bondi called the violence against police a scourge on our society.

It was one of the deadliest days for Pennsylvania police this century. In 2009 three Pittsburgh officers responding to a domestic disturbance were ambushed and shot to death by a man in a bulletproof vest.

Police departments across the region expressed condolences on social media. People were leaving flowers at the headquarters of the Northern York Regional Police Department.

The shooting erupted in the area of North Codorus Township, about 115 miles (185 km) west of Philadelphia, not far from Maryland, authorities said.

Dirk Anderson heard quite a few shots from his home across the street from the shooting, he said. He saw a helicopter and police arrive.

The emergency response unfolded on a rural road in south-central Pennsylvania. Some 30 police vehicles blocked off roads bordered by a barn, a goat farm and soybean and corn fields.

The two injured officers were in critical but stable condition at York Hospital, authorities said.

Authorities have not identified the officers or which police department they belonged to, or describe how they were shot, citing the investigation.

Family members of those killed were grieving but proud of their loved ones, said Shapiro.

Another officer in the area was killed in February, when a man armed with a pistol and zip ties entered a hospitals intensive care unit and took staff members hostage before a shootout that left both the man and an officer dead.

An immigration judge has ordered pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil deported from the United States to either Syria or Algeria.

Khalil was arrested March 8 as the administration began a broad crackdown on campus protests against Israel's war in Gaza.

The government has argued that noncitizens who protest in that manner should be deported for expressing viewpoints the administration believes are antisemitic and "pro-Hamas."

He was never charged with a crime and is a legal permanent resident of the U.S.

Khalil has been one of the most prominent faces on Columbia's campus since protests began, serving as lead negotiator during protests last spring.

According to court documents, the judge ordered his deportation for failing to disclose information on his green card application, including his involvement in a campus anti-Israel group.

A patron at one of the nation's newest amusement parks has died after riding a roller coaster there, Florida authorities said.

The man in his 30s was found unresponsive after riding the coaster at Epic Universe on Wednesday, the Orange County Sheriff's Office in Orlando said in a statement to The Associated Press. He was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

No further details were immediately released early Thursday.

Universal Orlando Resorts opened the park in May. It has five themed sections and a 500-room hotel.

Its the first major, traditional theme park to open in Florida since 1999, when Universal Islands of Adventure debuted, though Universal opened a themed Orlando water park, Volcano Bay, in 2017.

The addition of Epic Universe brought the total number of parks at the Florida resort to four, including Universal Studios.

The House has extended funding for lawmakers personal security following the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

The program began after two Minnesota state lawmakers were shot in June. It now provides up to $10,000 a month for personal security and $20,000 for home security.

The extension expires Nov. 21.

House Speaker Mike Johnson has said Congress is looking at long-term solutions to providing security for members.

"I want everyone within the sound of my voice to understand members of Congress are safe," Johnson said earlier this week. "They will be kept safe. They have security measures now at their residences. And personally, we can always enhance and do more and do better. And I think everyone's looking at that soberly right now, after this unspeakable tragedy that befell our friend."

President Donald Trump said early Thursday that he plans to designate antifa as a major terrorist organization.

Antifa, short for short for anti-fascists, is an umbrella term for far-left-leaning militant groups and is not a singular entity. They consist of groups that resist fascists and neo-Nazis, especially at demonstrations.

Its unclear how the administration would label what is effectively a decentralized movement as a terrorist organization, and the White House on Wednesday did not immediately offer more details.

Trump, who is on a state visit to the United Kingdom, made the announcement in a social media post shortly before 1:30 a.m. Thursday local time. He called antifa a SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER. He also said he will be strongly recommending that funders of antifa be investigated.

RELATED STORY | Trump's use of National Guard during Los Angeles immigration protests is illegal, judge rules

Trumps previous FBI director, Christopher Wray, said in testimony in 2020 that antifa is an ideology, not an organization, lacking the hierarchical structure that would usually allow it to be designated as a terror group by the federal government.

After Trump's post, Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., praised the announcement, saying: "Antifa seized upon a movement of legitimate grievances to promote violence and anarchy, working against justice for all. The President is right to recognize the destructive role of Antifa by designating them domestic terrorists.

In July 2019, Cassidy and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, introduced a resolution in the Senate to condemn the violent acts of antifa and to designate the group a domestic terror organization.

ABC has suspended Jimmy Kimmels late-night show indefinitely following comments he made about Charlie Kirks killing.

The network's decision Wednesday came after Nexstar announced its ABC affiliates would pre-empt Jimmy Kimmel Live! indefinitely over his comments.

Mr. Kimmels comments about the death of Mr. Kirk are offensive and insensitive at a critical time in our national political discourse, and we do not believe they reflect the spectrum of opinions, views, or values of the local communities in which we are located, said Andrew Alford, President of Nexstars broadcasting division.

A spokesperson for Kimmel did not immediately return a call for comment.

In his monologue on Tuesday, Kimmel said that we hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.

The U.S. State Department will deny visas to individuals who are found to be celebrating the death of right-wing podcaster and activist Charlie Kirk, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters on Tuesday.

Speaking from Israel on Tuesday, Sec. Rubio confirmed that the department would not issue visas to people who were "celebrating" the shooting death of Kirk.

If youre a foreigner and youre out there celebrating the assassination of someone who was speaking somewhere, I mean, we dont want you in the country, Sec. Rubio said.

Why would we want to give a visa to someone who think its good that someone was murdered in the public square? Thats just common sense to me," he said.

Last week Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau ordered department officials to "take appropriate action" in cases where people seeking visas made light of or rationalized Kirk's death.

Specific details about whether and how visas would be denied was not clear. It's also not clear how many visas may have been denied or revoked so far.

Officials push to revoke visas for migrants who praised Charlie Kirk's death

President Donald Trump's administration has warned that it will crack down on speech that it claims constitutes threats or otherwise supports political violence in the aftermath of Kirk's death.

Attorney General Pam Bondi warned during a podcast appearance on Monday that the Trump administration "will absolutely target you, go after you, if you are targeting anyone with hate speech."

Her comments drew wide criticism, from civil rights groups and conservative media figures alike.

"For far too long, weve watched the radical left normalize threats, call for assassinations, and cheer on political violence. That era is over," Bondi wrote in later comments on social media.

"It is clear this violent rhetoric is designed to silence others from voicing conservative ideals."

Meanwhile, in the local government and private sectors, there have been numerous examples of public officials losing their jobs or being placed on leave due to comments they posted on social media concerning Kirk's death. In other cases, businesses have become the subject of boycotts or lost partnerships.

Vice President JD Vance, while hosting Charlie Kirk's radio show on Monday, appeared to encourage pushback against people who "celebrated" Kirk's death.

"When you see someone celebrating Charlies murder, call them out. And, hell, call their employer," the vice president said.

A Virginia grandmother who won $150,000 in the September 8 Powerball drawing announced Tuesday she's giving away her entire prize to three charitable organizations close to her heart. Carrie Edwards made the announcement at a Virginia Lottery event, explaining her decision to donate to causes she's passionate about supporting. "As soon as that divine windfall happened and came down upon my shoulders, I knew exactly what I needed to do with it and I knew I needed to give it all away," Edwards said. "Three organizations that I'm very passionate about, that I work with." The three beneficiaries reflect Edwards' personal experiences and volunteer work. The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration helps families impacted by early-onset dementia, a disease Edwards' husband died from last year. The second recipient is Shalom Farms, a nonprofit where Edwards volunteers that's focused on creating an equitable food system for people in Richmond. The third organization is the Navy Marine Corps Relief Society, which provides resources for military families. Edwards grew up in the Navy and says she knows how helpful the organization can be. "Very rarely do we have winners do what Carrie is doing here today," a lottery official said at Tuesday's announcement.

"When there's only less than 20 people working at your org, this kind of gift is huge. It means more fresh fruits and vegetables in more shoppers bags across the city," Anna Ibrahim, a Shalom Farms representative, added. Edwards hopes her decision will inspire others to view unexpected blessings as opportunities to give back to their communities. "When it comes down to it, we all are responsible for helping each other in this life and helping community and helping those who don't have what we have is something that they are focused on," Edwards said. "I want this to be an example of how other people, when they're blessed, can bless other people. Grateful to pour it back into the community." After taxes, each organization will receive around $36,000.This story was originally reported by

South Korea says it has launched an investigation into possible human rights violations following a U.S. immigration raid at a Hyundai factory in Georgia earlier this month.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers detained more than 300 South Korean workers during the raid on the battery plant. The workers returned home on Friday after being held for a week.

Weve expressed grave concerns to the U.S. government since this first happened, a spokesperson for the South Korean presidential office said in a statement, according to The Washington Post. She added, We plan to examine more closely whether there were issues related to our peoples rights or discomfort.

U.S. officials claimed the detained workers had a range of immigration issues. Some were allegedly in the U.S. illegally, while others entered legally but may have overstayed their visas or were on visas that did not permit them to work.

The incident could strain diplomatic ties between South Korea and the United States. South Korean companies had planned to invest billions of dollars in the U.S. under a trade deal designed to avoid high tariffs.

Following the raid, President Donald Trump said he wants international companies to invest in the United States and build manufacturing plants domestically, but added that employees must be in the country legally.

President Donald Trump signed an order Tuesday that will allow TikTok to continue service in the U.S. nearly until the end of the year.

Under the new order, TikTok will remain usable in the U.S. through at least December 16, 2025.

The order delays the enforcement of a rule that would require ByteDance, TikToks Chinese parent company, to divest from the popular video-sharing app. Lawmakers passed the bipartisan measure citing concerns that the Chinese government could compel the company to hand over U.S. user data or manipulate TikToks algorithm to influence public opinion.

President Trump has now delayed enforcement of the ban four times. The first delay came through an executive order on Jan. 20, his first day in office. The second delay occurred in April, when White House officials believed they were close to finalizing a deal to spin off TikTok into a U.S.-owned company, a plan that never materialized. The latest delay, issued in June, is set to expire Sept. 17.

Tyler Robinson will remain in jail without bail as Utah prosecutors pursue the death penalty against him on charges that he killed conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.

Robinson made his first court appearance virtually from jail on Tuesday, listening as a judge read the charges against him.

He faces multiple felony charges, including aggravated murder, obstruction of justice and witness tampering.

Charlie Kirk was shot and killed on Sept. 10 while debating students at Utah Valley University.

After the Sept. 10 shooting, Robinsons mother saw a photo of a person of interest and called her son, who claimed he was home sick. When she showed the image to Robinsons father, he agreed the person resembled their son and noted that a rifle in the photo looked like one Robinson had been given as a gift.

Prosecutors said in conversations with his parents, Robinson said he planned to take his own life. However, they convinced him to go to their house, where prosecutors say he implied he was the shooter. His parents and a family friend eventually persuaded him to turn himself in.

Police later interviewed Robinsons roommate, with whom he was reportedly in a relationship. The roommate is a biological male transitioning to female. Robinsons parents told investigators their son had recently become outspoken in support of gay and transgender rights.

According to police, Robinson sent messages to the roommate following the shooting. One of them instructed the roommate to drop what youre doing and look under my keyboard. There, the roommate discovered a note that said: I have the opportunity to take out Charlie Kirk and Im going to take it.

The roommate appeared to be in disbelief and asked how long Robinson had been planning the attack. Prosecutors said Robinson responded that he had been planning it for about a week because he had enough of Charlie Kirks hatred.

In his messages with his roommate, investigators also said Robinson expressed concern about leaving behind his rifle, which once belonged to his grandfather. Court documents confirmed his DNA matched the murder weapon.

Prosecutors say Robinson told his roommate to delete incriminating text messages and not to speak with police. Authorities have said the roommate has been cooperative with investigators.

Kirk was an outspoken conservative Christian commentator who traveled the country debating college students on issues including transgender rights and religious liberty. He was frequently criticized by LGBTQ advocates for spreading anti-transgender rhetoric.
