Emergency response reshapes course as lead vehicles head off course at US Half Marathon Champs

In the 2026 US Half Marathon Championships in Atlanta, the women’s leaders were directed off the course in the final mile after lead vehicles turned left instead of crossing a pedestrian bridge, because cones had not been deployed while nearby officers attended a downed colleague. The disruption left Jess McClain leading at one point but finishing 9th, while Emma Grace Hurley and Ednah Kurgat finished near the front; prize-money adjustments were announced and USATF is reviewing team-selection implications.

Newsom’s 'I can’t read' moment goes viral as he promotes his memoir in Atlanta

California Gov. Gavin Newsom sparked backlash at an Atlanta book-tour event when he told a predominantly Black audience that he’s “like you” because he can’t read and that he scored 960 on the SAT, a self-deprecating moment tied to his memoir Young Man in a Hurry. The clip, viewed millions of times (over 35 million), ignited questions about privilege and authenticity, drawing criticism from figures like Nicki Minaj even as Newsom’s team blamed MAGA-driven outrage. His dyslexia is acknowledged, but critics argue the billionaire background and premium-book-tour setting undermine any claim of relatability as he promotes the memoir.
