Trump and MAGA movement will honor Charlie Kirk at Arizona memorial

September 20, 2025

President Donald Trump and his supporters will pay tribute to conservative activist Charlie Kirk, whose assassination has intensified political tensions in the U.S. The memorial service Sunday in Arizona is expected to draw a large crowd to hear from Trump, Vice President JD Vance and other prominent figures. Kirk was killed this month at a Utah college, and his assassination has sparked debates about violence and free speech. Trump has blamed the “radical left” for Kirk’s death, and people have lost jobs as the administration and its supporters call out speech they find offensive. Kirk founded Turning Point, a group that played a significant role in Trump’s political success.

SEC Officiating acknowledges critical blunder in Oklahoma’s win over Auburn

September 20, 2025

Oklahoma has sparked controversy with a second-quarter touchdown against Auburn on Saturday. On Isaiah Sategna’s 24-yard catch from John Mateer, it seemed like he was leaving the field, but he ended up wide open for the score. This play was crucial in Oklahoma’s 24-17 win. The Southeastern Conference addressed the issue on its SEC Officiating account, stating the crew failed to interpret the play as a hideout tactic. Auburn coach Hugh Freeze said he tried to call a timeout, but it wasn’t granted. He expressed frustration over the situation, referencing offseason instructions about deception plays.

Stanton’s 450th homer helps Yankees close gap in AL East and conjures Hall of Fame talk

September 20, 2025

Giancarlo Stanton hopes his 450th home run won’t be the last milestone he celebrates before calling it a career. After hitting No. 450 on Saturday night in a 6-1 win over the Orioles, Stanton said: “It’s cool to see the names I’m catching and tying and going above.” Stanton hit No. 450 in his 1,719th career game. Only Babe Ruth, Mark McGwire, Alex Rodriguez and Harmon Killebrew were quicker to 450. His three-run homer off Tomoyuki Sugano sent the Yankees on their way to an important victory. The leaders in the AL wild-card race now stand just two games behind the AL East-leading Toronto Blue Jays with seven games left in the regular season.

September 20, 2025

Seattle’s Cal Raleigh hit his 57th home run of the season Saturday night against the Houston Astros to pass Ken Griffey Jr. for the single-season franchise record.

Raleigh lifted his right arm in celebration as he rounded second base and raised the trident the Mariners use for their home run celebration skyward after J.P. Crawford handed it to him just before he entered the dugout.

White House says $100K H-1B visa fee won’t apply to existing holders as Trump move stirs anxiety

September 20, 2025

President Donald Trump’s latest plan to overhaul the American immigration system has left some immigrant workers confused. That left the White House on Saturday scrambling to clarify that its new $100,000 fee on visas for skilled tech workers that soon will go into effect only applies to new applicants and not to current visa holders. The president on Friday signed a proclamation that will require the fee for what are known as H-1B visas — meant for high-skilled jobs that tech companies find hard to fill.

Caitlin Clark says she was fined $200 for social media post about referees

September 20, 2025

Caitlin Clark said referees couldn’t stop her Indiana Fever. The WNBA made her pay for it. The Fever’s star guard, who is sidelined for the postseason with a right groin injury, posted on social media that she was fined $200 for tweeting “Refs couldn’t stop us” after Indiana’s Game 2 win over Atlanta in the first round of the playoffs. Clark’s post was then quoted by fellow injured Fever teammate Sophie Cunningham, who was quick to offer her support to the young star. The WNBA typically doesn’t post when players are fined. The Fever open their best-of-five semifinal series against the Aces in Las Vegas on Sunday.

The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that what Trump calls the “Big Beautiful Bill″ means 3 million people would not qualify for food stamps, also known as SNAP benefits.

A conservative lawyer who has said she was falsely accused of being at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, has been tapped to serve as the top federal prosecutor for the Virginia office that was thrown into turmoil when its U.S. attorney was pushed out on Friday.

She replaces Erik Siebert, who resigned Friday evening amid a push by Trump administration officials to bring criminal charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James in a monthslong mortgage fraud investigation.

September 20, 2025

The Las Vegas Aces and Indiana Fever are set to face off in the WNBA playoffs semifinals. This matchup seemed likely before the season, but both teams took unexpected paths to get here. Las Vegas struggled early, even suffering a record 53-point loss to Minnesota. However, the Aces bounced back with 16 straight wins, securing the second seed. Indiana, once a title contender, faced setbacks with key players like DeWanna Bonner leaving and others like Caitlin Clark getting injured. Despite these challenges, both teams have shown resilience, setting the stage for a potentially exciting series starting Sunday.

A possible federal shutdown is looming at month’s end, and the Democratic leaders of Congress are demanding a meeting with President Donald Trump to negotiate. Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries said Saturday that Republicans, at Trump’s insistence, have refused to enter talks. Democrats are pushing to preserve health care programs as part of any deal to keep government running past the Sept. 30 funding deadline. They want a meeting with Trump to prevent what they call “your decision” to shutter federal offices if no action is taken by month’s end. There’s no immediate response from the White House.

Trump’s economic promises to Black voters fall short after a modest shift in support for him in 2024

September 20, 2025

Donald Trump warned during the campaign that Black Americans were losing jobs in large numbers and things would only worsen without his leadership. The Republican has been back in the White House since January, and the economic situation for Black Americans has deteriorated. Black unemployment has risen from 6.2% to 7.5% this year, the highest since October 2021. Black homeownership has fallen to the lowest level since 2021. That can put at risk the small but politically meaningful inroads Trump made in 2024 with Black voters. The White House says some of the downward trends began under Democratic President Joe Biden.

Luigi Mangione’s lawyers want death penalty off the table in UnitedHealthcare CEO murder case

September 20, 2025

Luigi Mangione’s lawyers are urging a judge to bar federal prosecutors from seeking the death penalty in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. They argued in court papers Saturday that authorities prejudiced his case by turning his arrest into a “Marvel movie” spectacle and by publicly declaring their desire to see him executed. Fresh from a legal victory that eliminated terrorism charges in Mangione’s state murder case, his lawyers are now fighting to have his federal case dismissed. They cited U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi’s declaration prior to his April indictment that capital punishment is warranted for a “premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America.” Federal prosecutors have until Oct. 31 to respond. Mangione has pleaded not guilty.

In battles over free speech, comedians are often center stage

September 20, 2025

In all the stunning things about ABC’s swift removal of Jimmy Kimmel, its longtime late-night host and Oscars-hosting face of the network, perhaps the least surprising was that a comedian was again at the center of a battle over free speech. As long as jokes have been told, comedians have drawn the ire of the powerful. That has often put comedians on the front lines of free-speech battles, from George Carlin violating obscenity laws to satirical puppet shows trying to exist in Vladimir Putin’s Russia. In authoritarian regimes, crackdowns on speech usually make comedy a target.

An immigration enforcement operation in the Chicago area is troubling immigrants and activists because of what they say are increasingly aggressive tactics. But top official with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement denies that officers are using excessive force. The operation began Sept. 8 and has led to the arrests of nearly 550 people. The aim is to enforce President Trump’s immigration policies in a city known for strong laws against local cooperation with federal immigration efforts. A Chicago alderman accuses immigration enforcement agents of trying to provoke activists into overreacting in order to justify calling in a greater use of force such as National Guard troops.

The United Nations will draw foundations and nonprofits to New York for a packed schedule of events on the sidelines of its General Assembly next week.

The Clinton Global Initiative is changing its format to focus on new programs. Despite these challenges, Kevin Sheekey, a senior adviser to billionaire Mike Bloomberg., says the U.N.

Members of Congress take steps to tighten their own security after Kirk’s killing

September 20, 2025

Members of Congress are taking steps to tighten their own security as the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk has deeply shaken lawmakers who were already concerned for their safety. Senate Majority Leader John Thune on Thursday engineered passage of a measure that will allow senators for the first time to use money designated for their offices and staff for security purposes. Members of the House are pushing for increased security funding, too. Lawmakers increasingly feel that their engagement in public life requires the same kinds of security precautions long reserved for the president and members of the Cabinet.

A hundred snaps for Travis Hunter? The Jaguars see no ceiling on the rookie’s contributions

September 20, 2025

No one should be surprised to see two-way star Travis Hunter play close to a hundred snaps against Houston on Sunday. The Jacksonville Jaguars just might need it. With receiver Brian Thomas Jr. struggling and dealing with a sore wrist, and cornerback Jarrian Jones recovering from back tightness, the Jaguars may ask the 2024 Heisman Trophy winner to do even more against the Texans. The team’s Mr. Everything played a whopping 85 snaps — 42 on offense and 43 on defense — in a 31-27 loss at Cincinnati last week. He was merely ramping up after missing the final two weeks during training camp with a shoulder injury.
