Kentucky communities are facing a severe winter storm that brings up to 6 inches of snow while still recovering from historic floods. The Kentucky River recently flooded downtown Beattyville, and residents are struggling to clean up amid freezing temperatures with more snow on the way. The situation is especially dire as water main breaks have forced evacuations during frigid conditions. Tragically, 14 people have lost their lives in Kentucky, including 73-year-old Donald Nicholson, whose truck stalled during a flash flood.

What can law enforcement do to better protect victims of domestic violence before it's too late?
Law enforcement faces resource limitations when protecting domestic violence victims. They can't assign every victim their own officer, but they do provide protective orders, connect victims with counselors and shelters, and make arrests when orders are violated. However, as the expert notes, protective orders are 'just a piece of paper' that determined offenders will ignore. The most effective solution is creating opportunities for victims to completely separate from their abusers, as removing them from dangerous situations is ultimately the best way to prevent violence from escalating to deadly levels.

Lively's team believes these subpoenas will uncover evidence related to her sexual harassment and retaliation claims against Baldoni, shifting focus from what they describe as a smear campaign back to the substantive allegations in advance of their March 2026 trial date.
