Belichick’s college coaching debut at North Carolina ends in blowout loss to TCU

September 1, 2025

In his first game as a college coach, Bill Belichick’s North Carolina team started fast only to get blown out. TCU beat UNC 48-14 on Monday night. The Tar Heels scored a touchdown on the first possession, but then the Horned Frogs scored 41 straight points. That sent much of North Carolina’s sellout crowd fleeing for the exits long before the start of the fourth quarter. The 73-year-old Belichick is a first-time college coach. He won six Super Bowls as a head coach with the NFL’s New England Patriots.

Belichick loses college coaching debut as TCU uses 2 defensive TDs to beat UNC 48-14

September 1, 2025

Bud Clark had a first-half pick-six and Kevorian Barnes had a 75-yard touchdown run on the first second-half snap to help TCU spoil Bill Belichick’s college coaching debut by rolling past North Carolina 48-14 on Monday night. The 73-year-old Belichick had won six Super Bowl titles in a 24-year run as head coach of the NFL’s New England Patriots. His Tar Heels scored on the first possession but TCU took over with 41 unanswered points. That included Devean Deal joining Clark with a defensive touchdown on a fumble return in a third quarter that turned the game into a romp.

Orioles beat the Padres 4-3 after All-Star reliever Jason Adam ruptures a quadriceps tendon

September 1, 2025

Dylan Beavers singled home the go-ahead run with two outs in the seventh inning, two batters after All-Star reliever Jason Adam collapsed in pain on the mound, and the Baltimore Orioles beat the San Diego Padres 4-3. San Diego has lost six of eight and dropped 2 1/2 games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West. Adam was carted off the field after rupturing a left quadriceps tendon when he tried to turn toward Gunnar Henderson’s chopper that went off the mound for an infield single. The right-hander immediately signaled for an athletic trainer and grabbed his left knee. He said he expects to miss the rest of the season.

Final preparations for trial of man accused of attempting to assassinate Trump in Florida

September 1, 2025

A man charged with trying to assassinate President Donald Trump last year in South Florida is set to represent himself during a pretrial conference, as final preparations are made for trial. Barring any delays, jury selection is scheduled to begin Monday in Fort Pierce federal court for the case against Ryan Routh. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon signed off on Routh’s request to represent himself in July but said court-appointed attorneys need to remain as standby counsel. The trial will begin nearly a year after prosecutors say a U.S. Secret Service agent thwarted Routh’s attempt to shoot Trump as he played golf.

Osuna’s 2-run single in 10th inning pushes Rangers past Diamondbacks 7-5 for 6th straight win

September 1, 2025

Alejandro Osuna hit a two-run single in the 10th inning, Jake Burger had a crucial RBI triple in his return from the injured list and the Texas Rangers rallied past the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-5 for their sixth straight victory. The Rangers had runners on second and third with two outs in the 10th when Osuna — hitting .149 in 87 at-bats this season — ripped a line drive that caromed off reliever Juan Burgos into foul territory. Michael Helman crossed the plate easily and then Ezequiel Duran scored all the way from second, sliding under Gabriel Moreno’s tag. Texas is 1 1/2 games behind Seattle for the final American League wild card. The Rangers scored twice in the ninth to tie it at 5.

September 1, 2025

Padres reliever Jason Adam ruptured a tendon in his left quadriceps and was carted off the field Monday, a major blow to San Diego’s dominant bullpen. Adam was injured in the seventh inning of a 4-3 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. One of several All-Star relievers on the team, Adam said he still needs to get an MRI for confirmation, but he expects the injury to end his season. Adam collapsed as he tried to turn toward Gunnar Henderson’s chopper that went off the mound for an infield single. He immediately signaled for an athletic trainer and grabbed his left knee. The right-hander took the loss against Baltimore and is 8-4 with a 1.93 ERA in 65 appearances.

What to know about Guatemalan migrant children and efforts to send them home

September 1, 2025

The Trump administration has tried to deport Guatemalan children living in U.S. shelters or foster care. Advocates for these children filed lawsuits to stop the removals, and a federal judge has temporarily blocked the deportations. The administration says it’s reuniting children with families at the Guatemalan government’s request. However, advocates argue the process bypasses immigration courts and frightens the children. Legal cases are ongoing in Arizona, Washington, D.C., and Illinois. Guatemala has expressed willingness to receive children who want to return voluntarily. The exact number of children affected remains unclear.

Numbers drawn for estimated $1.1B Powerball jackpot

September 1, 2025

The numbers have been selected for an estimated $1.1 billion Powerball jackpot, although it is not immediately clear if anyone was a big winner. The numbers drawn Monday night were 8, 23, 25, 40, 53, with the Powerball 5. No one has matched all six numbers since May 31, allowing the jackpot to swell to $1.1 billion. That is the fifth-largest prize in the game’s history. The odds of matching all six numbers are daunting: 1 in 292.2 million. As ticket sales climbed this week, game officials raised the estimated Labor Day jackpot to $1.1 billion before taxes.

September 1, 2025

Jannik Sinner dominated the only player other than Carlos Alcaraz who has defeated him this season, routing Alexander Bublik 6-1, 6-1, 6-1 on Monday night to return to the U.S. Open quarterfinals. The top-seeded Sinner’s victory took just 1 hour, 21 minutes, the second-shortest completed match in the tournament. A first-round victory for Tomas Machac was a minute shorter. Sinner lost to Bublik in June in Halle, Germany, in a warm-up tournament before Wimbledon, but that was played on a grass court. Sinner has won 25 straight Grand Slam matches on hard courts, including the last two Australian Open titles along with his first U.S. Open trophy last year.

New York Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler says he won’t run for reelection in 2026

September 1, 2025

Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler of New York says he will not run for reelection next year, according to an interview published Monday night by The New York Times. Nadler told the Times that watching then-President Joe Biden’s truncated reelection campaign last year “really said something about the necessity for generational change in the party, and I think I want to respect that.” He suggested a younger Democratic lawmaker in his seat “can maybe do better, can maybe help us more.” Nadler, 78, is serving his 17th term in Congress. He was chairman of the House Judiciary Committee from 2019 to 2023, then served as ranking member on the panel after Republicans won House leadership.

Outfielder Kevin Alcántara was recalled from Triple-A Iowa, and outfielder Owen Caissie was sent down. With Pete Crow-Armstrong slumping at the plate, Alcántara could be used in center field against left-handed pitching. Civale jumped right in, pitching three scoreless innings in a wild 7-6 victory over Atlanta. Santana struck out as a pinch hitter in the ninth and finished the game at first base.

Naomi Osaka is bringing the Labubu fad to the U.S. Open — all the way to at least the quarterfinals. Osaka has played four matches at the Grand Slam tennis tournament so far this year, each time toting a different plush toy attached to her racket bag. And she’s won each time, too, including a 6-3, 6-2 victory over Coco Gauff on Monday. At her postmatch news conference, Osaka pulled her latest U.S. Open Labubu — a shiny, silver one — from the pocket of her black jacket and introduced her to reporters, saying, “Her name is Althea Glitterson,” a tribute to Althea Gibson, the tennis champion who broke the sport’s color barrier 75 years ago in New York.

President Donald Trump says he’s awarding former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani the Presidential Medal of Freedom, announcing the honor two days after his longtime political ally was badly injured in a traffic accident. Giuliani was once lauded for leading New York after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and later sanctioned by courts and disbarred for amplifying false claims about the 2020 election. Giuliani was also criminally charged in two states; he has denied wrongdoing. Trump in a statement on social media called Giuliani the “greatest Mayor in the history of New York City, and an equally great American Patriot.”

September 1, 2025

Naomi Osaka has eliminated Coco Gauff 6-3, 6-2 at the U.S. Open to reach her first Grand Slam quarterfinal in more than 4 1/2 years. The No. 23-seeded Osaka played far more consistent and confident tennis than No. 3 Gauff in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Monday. Osaka will meet No. 11 Karolina Muchova on Wednesday for a semifinal berth. Osaka is a 27-year-old who was born in Japan and moved to the U.S. with her family at age 3. She has won four major championships, all on hard courts. That includes titles at the U.S. Open in 2018 and 2020. Gauff’s two Slam trophies came at Flushing Meadows in 2023 and the French Open this June.

Jose Altuve hit a two-run homer and an RBI single and Ramón Urías also went deep to back up a strong start from Luis Garcia and lead the Houston Astros to an 8-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels. Garcia got the win in his return after sitting out more than two years while recovering from Tommy John surgery. He allowed three hits and three runs with six strikeouts in six innings in his first start since May 2023. Zach Neto hit a solo home run and Jo Adell added a two-run shot for the Angels, whose two-game winning streak was snapped. Yusei Kikuchi took the loss.

September 1, 2025

Coco Gauff has tried to put on a brave face after losing in the fourth round of the U.S. Open for the second year in a row. After Monday’s 6-3, 6-2 exit against Naomi Osaka, Gauff said she would not let this defeat crush her. The No. 3-seeded Gauff won the first of her two Grand Slam titles at Flushing Meadows in 2023. She was undone against Osaka by a slew of groundstroke errors and failed to do her usual strong job of returning in a match that lasted just 64 minutes at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The result was surprising, not just because Gauff was the higher seed also for just how lopsided it was.

September 1, 2025

Boston’s Trevor Story had a strange Fenway Park homer in the sixth inning against Cleveland when the ball went off an outfielder’s glove and then the Pesky Pole. Facing right-hander Jakob Junis, Story hit a 306-foot fly down the right-field line, where Jhonkensy Noel tried for a leaping catch.

Crew chief Jordan Baker then announced the call had been overturned, giving Story his 23rd homer and Boston a 6-3 lead. The Red Sox won 6-4.

A House committee investigating the Jeffrey Epstein case has withdrawn a subpoena to Robert Mueller

September 1, 2025

A House committee investigating the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking case has withdrawn a subpoena to former FBI Director Robert Mueller. Mueller had been directed last month to appear before the House Oversight Committee on Tuesday for a deposition. But the subpoena was withdrawn after the panel learned of unspecified health issues that precluded him from being able to testify. The New York Times, citing a statement from Mueller’s family and people close to him, reported Sunday that Mueller had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in the summer of 2021 and has had difficulty speaking.

September 1, 2025

Micah Parsons’ arrival in Green Bay has his new Packers teammates believing any goal is realistic. Parsons practiced with his new teammates for the first time Monday. Green Bay acquired the superstar edge rusher Thursday in a deal that sent three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two first-round picks to the Dallas Cowboys. Green Bay faces a time crunch trying to get Parsons ready for the start of the season. The Packers have two home games in a span of five days against 2024 NFC playoff teams. They host Detroit on Sunday and Washington the following Thursday.

How to draw every president and first lady in 4 steps

September 1, 2025

An art history professor from North Carolina has developed a unique method for drawing portraits of U.S. presidents and first ladies. John Hutton starts each portrait with an egg-shaped frame, adding facial features, hair, and shoulders in a four-step process. Hutton’s technique is detailed in his new book, “How to Draw the Presidents & First Ladies,” published by the White House Historical Association. He believes anyone can learn to draw by following patterns. Hutton has been drawing since childhood and also illustrates children’s books. His method aims to make drawing accessible to everyone.

September 1, 2025

Running back Jaylen Warren has signed a three-year contract extension with the Pittsburgh Steelers, solidifying his status as a key player. Warren joined the team in 2022 as an undrafted rookie. He has risen from a practice squad hopeful to the first string after the Steelers let former first-round pick Najee Harris leave in free agency. Warren has impressed with his physicality and versatility, averaging 4.8 yards per carry. He remains motivated, acknowledging doubters but focusing on his role. Warren’s journey from junior college to the NFL serves as an inspiration to others.

September 1, 2025

Florida State says freshman linebacker Ethan Pritchard is in critical but stable condition after being shot while visiting family. Pritchard, a 6-foot-2, 224-pound defender from Sanford, was in intensive care at a Tallahassee-area hospital. The Gadsden County Sheriff’s Office says he was shot Sunday evening while inside a vehicle outside apartments in Havana, a Tallahassee suburb. FSU says the Pritchard family “is thankful for the support from so many people, as well as the care from first responders and medical professionals.” The family also asks for privacy. Pritchard did not play in Florida State’s season-opening win over Alabama.

Michigan’s targeting call appeal is denied, linebacker Jaishawn Barham to miss 1st half at Oklahoma

September 1, 2025

Michigan linebacker Jaishawn Barham will miss the first half of the Oklahoma game this week, following his ejection for targeting against New Mexico. Wolverines coach Sherrone Moore said Monday that the appeal to overturn the ruling was denied. Barham sacked Lobos quarterback Jack Layne and was called for targeting in the third quarter of the Wolverines’ 34-17 win. Michigan will play the Sooners on the road Saturday night, bringing Moore back to his alma mater.

September 1, 2025

Miami’s new faces made quick first impressions. At this time last year, Miami quarterback Carson Beck was at Georgia. Wide receiver CJ Daniels was at LSU. Running back Marty Brown was at North Dakota State, game-winning-kicker Carter Davis was at Florida Atlantic and wide receiver Malachi Toney was in high school. They didn’t waste any time making an impact for the Hurricanes. They combined to account for all of No. 10 Miami’s scoring in its 27-24 victory over No. 6 Notre Dame on Sunday night in the opener for both teams.

From Jackson to McKinley: What Trump’s new choice of presidential hero says about his evolving goals

September 1, 2025

Donald Trump has shifted his admiration from Andrew Jackson to William McKinley. During his first term, Trump idolized Jackson for his populist approach. Now, he’s focused on McKinley, the 25th president, who was known for championing tariffs and leading a major expansion in U.S. territory. Trump frequently praises McKinley’s use of tariffs to boost the economy and reduce the national debt. This change reflects Trump’s evolving political mindset, moving from attacking elites to targeting foreign countries and globalists. McKinley’s legacy of tariffs provides Trump with historical justification for his trade policies. The shift highlights how Trump adapts his political reasoning to fit his current goals.

A downturn in international travel to the U.S. may last beyond summer, experts warn

September 1, 2025

A decline in foreign visitors traveling to the United States has stretched well into the summer. And tourism experts say the downward trend that emerged after President Donald Trump returned to the White House shows no immediate signs of reversing. They say factors like Trump’s tariffs, strict immigration policies and rhetoric have made international tourists feel unwelcome. U.S. government data confirms an overall drop-off in international arrivals. Figures from the National Travel and Tourism Office show more than 3 million fewer international arrivals in the first seven months of the year. The preliminary data doesn’t include travelers from Canada, where many residents have said they planned to stay away in protest.

Trump plans a hefty tax on imported drugs, risking higher prices and shortages

September 1, 2025

President Donald Trump has plastered taxes on products from almost every country on earth. He’s targeted specific imports, too. But he isn’t done yet. Trump has promised another round of hefty import taxes on a category of products he’s so far spared in his trade war with the world: pharmaceuticals. For decades, in fact, imported medicine has mostly been allowed to enter the United States duty free. Now the president is threatening duties of 200% or more on foreign drugs. That could disrupt complex and fragile supply chains, drive cheap foreign-made generic drugs out of the U.S., create drug shortages and raise American drug prices.
