A Grapevine, Texas man intentionally drove a Tesla Cybertruck into Grapevine Lake to test its Wade Mode; the vehicle became disabled with water intrusion but no injuries were reported, and the driver, Jimmy Jack McDaniel, faces multiple charges including operating a vehicle in a closed section of a park, lacking boat registration, and water-safety violations; police urge others not to replicate the stunt.
A federal appeals court ruled that emergency rooms are not required to perform life-saving abortions if doing so would conflict with state law, despite federal guidance to the contrary. This decision comes after Texas sued the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services over guidance that reminded hospitals of their obligations under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA) to provide medically necessary abortions. The court's ruling supports Texas' position and maintains the state's strict abortion ban, which has led to confusion and reluctance among healthcare providers to perform abortions, even when the patient's life is at risk.
