No charges will be brought against former Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Jason Kelce in connection with an altercation last month in which he appeared to smash someone's cellphone outside Penn State University’s Beaver Stadium, a school official said Wednesday. In the videos, Kelce then appeared to turn around, grab the man’s phone, smash it to the ground, pick it up again and walk away. Another angle appeared to show the man chasing after Kelce and asking for his phone back. In that video, Kelce appeared to repeat the slur back to the person. Kelce has appeared as a commentator for ESPN since his retirement at the end of last season.

The man charged with killing UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson posted online in recent years about undergoing spinal surgery and struggling with chronic back pain, numbness and restless sleep, according to what appears to be an archived version of his deleted Reddit account. The archived Reddit posts may shed light on Mangione’s interests and mental state over the last eight years. Although the account has been suspended, NBC News reviewed an archive of its deleted posts and comments spanning several years. NBC News also spoke to several of his friends who said that although they weren’t able to confirm that the Reddit account was Mangione’s, some of the posts aligned with Mangione and his life events. The Reddit posts correspond with the activity of accounts that seem to be linked to Mangione on other social media platforms.

Indian travelers spent $34.2 billion on outbound travel in 2023, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council. But the current level of Indian travel is "minuscule" compared with what's to come, Alan Watts, Hilton's Asia-Pacific president, told "Squawk Box Asia" Monday. "India outbound will be the story of the next decade." By 2034, Indian travelers' outbound spend is projected to more than double to $76.8 billion, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council's Economic Impact 2024 report — which would make the country the seventh-largest travel spenders in the world, up from 12th in 2023. "When you think of India, it has the characteristics of China, which is the second largest lodging market in the world," said Watts.

Biden administration officials said Wednesday they have no current plans to authorize a stockpiled bird flu vaccine, despite an escalating outbreak among livestock in the U.S. and at least 58 human infections across seven states. Almost all bird flu cases in the U.S. have been in farmworkers who have had contact with infected animals — either dairy cows or poultry — aside from a patient in Missouri and a child in California. The federal government has two bird flu vaccine candidates available in limited quantities in the nation’s Strategic National Stockpile, though they need to be authorized by the Food and Drug Administration before they can be used. Still, some public health experts believe the time for vaccination is now, particularly for farmworkers. In 1976, at the first signs of an H1N1 swine flu outbreak in the U.S., public health officials quickly initiated a nationwide vaccine campaign.

North Carolina Republican lawmakers voted to override a gubernatorial veto of a bill that strips the state's incoming Democratic officials of key powers. The GOP-led state House of Representatives on Wednesday voted along party lines to override outgoing Democratic Gov. The Republican-controlled state Senate voted to override Cooper's veto last week, meaning the bill will now go into effect, though legal challenges are expected. Three state House Republicans from western North Carolina who voted against the bill originally supported the veto override on Wednesday, giving the party the three-fifths support in the chamber necessary to overrule Cooper. "The bill, to be clear, is a power grab, not disaster relief," Stein said at a Democratic Governors Association meeting last weekend in California.

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said Wednesday the league’s partnership with Roc Nation, the entertainment company founded by rapper and entrepreneur Jay-Z, is “not changing” amid the civil lawsuit filed against Jay-Z accusing him of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl. “We are aware of the civil allegations and Jay Z’s really strong response to that," Goodell said at a press conference following a league meeting in Irving, Texas. But from our standpoint our relationship is not changing with them, including our preparations for the next Super Bowl." The NFL and Roc Nation entered a partnership in 2019 for the company to serve as the league’s “live music entertainment strategist.” Roc Nation has since annually produced the halftime show at the Super Bowl, including Kendrick Lamar’s upcoming performance in New Orleans in February. “These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not a civil one!!

In today’s edition, political embed Alec Hernández sifts through 20 interviews Donald Trump's incoming "border czar," Tom Homan, has done to get a clearer sense of his mass deportation plans. Plus, chief political analyst Chuck Todd breaks down the opportunities and challenges facing Mike Duggan's independent bid for Michigan governor. In the past month, he has done at least 20 interviews, which have all been reviewed by NBC News. Tasked with coordinating Trump’s core campaign promise of a mass deportation, Homan has used the appearances to begin detailing how the efforts might take shape and how the administration will move its plan forward. While they are far from painting a complete picture, the interviews have given more specifics than have been offered about the deportation policy in the past.

The New York Police Department is now looking into whether a denied insurance claim related to that injury played a role in the shooting, Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told Fox News on Tuesday. Refusals to pay for care are more common for people with employer-based health insurance or private insurance compared to people with public insurance, such as Medicare and Medicaid. Another KFF report published last year found nearly 17% of in-network claims were denied in 2021 among people with Obamacare coverage. When patients get denied, Gaffney said, they may not think to appeal, leaving them with medical debt. “Our health care is not seen as a right.

That mothership is off … the East Coast of the United States of America. “There is no Iranian ship off the coast of the United States, and there’s no so-called mothership launching drones towards the United States,” she said. Phil Murphy should declare a state of emergency and issue an executive order banning recreational drone use at night. “Residents are increasingly alarmed by the surge in drone activity after dark, raising concerns about public safety and security,” Golden said.

The United Kingdom on Wednesday indefinitely banned new prescriptions of puberty blockers to treat minors for gender dysphoria. The announcement comes a week after the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case involving state bans on puberty-suppressing medication and other forms of transition-related care for minors. Puberty blockers are commonly prescribed to transgender children in countries throughout the Western world to delay the onset of puberty or pause it as it is transpiring. A temporary ban on new puberty-blocker prescriptions for British minors experiencing gender dysphoria was already put in place over the summer. The U.K. ban comes as the U.S. Supreme Court weighs the constitutionality of a Tennessee ban on gender-affirming care for minors.

The North Carolina state Board of Elections voted Wednesday to reject a Republican challenge to throw out 60,000 ballots in a state Supreme Court race that the Democratic incumbent leads by just over 700 votes. A second, partial hand recount of the race increased Riggs’ lead marginally, but that total is not considered official by North Carolina's elections board. Griffin or the North Carolina Republican Party could appeal the decision, which would insert the case into the state court system. Joining in the challenge to the North Carolina elections board board was the Republican candidate in a close state House race that will determine whether the GOP maintains its supermajority in the chamber. Democrats currently control the North Carolina board of elections.

But Oscar-winning actress Ariana DeBose — who plays Kraven’s trusted friend Calypso in Sony’s new Spider-Man universe movie “Kraven the Hunter”— wants you to rethink what you know about this supervillain. DeBose says the movie shows complicated characters who are neither good nor evil, but shades of gray cutting both ways. “Kraven the Hunter” releases nationwide Friday, and director J.C. Chandor features a Kraven who is a superhuman killer and a conservationist, as well as a fierce protector of his family. “This film is all about motives and understanding why these characters are doing what they’re doing,” DeBose said. “Kraven the Hunter” is the first Spider-Man universe movie from Sony to get an R rating.
