WASHINGTON — Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mike Rogers appears to be breaking with President Donald Trump on another key issue less than a month before Election Day.
"Drinking a Labatt and watching the Red Wings, man, it just doesn't get any more Michigan than that," Rogers said in a new ad released Oct. 7. "Here in Michigan, we know that Canada is not our enemy. We need to end this tariff war now."
The statement marks the second time in recent weeks that Rogers spoke out — without criticizing Trump by name — against one of the president's unpopular initiatives. This time, Rogers is calling for an end to Trump's widespread trade war against Canada, America's second-biggest trading partner, while drinking a Canadian beer that's banned from import under the president's latest trade restrictions.
The Republican Senate nominee also split with Trump on the Iran war in late September, saying it "needs to end and end quickly."
Rogers' public shift on tariffs comes amid mounting opposition in Michigan to Trump's tariffs and GOP concerns that voters will reject their candidates up and down the ballot for failing to address cost-of-living concerns. Election Day is Nov. 3, though more than 200,000 Michiganians have already cast absentee ballots.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's latest appearance has sparked fresh relationship speculation. Body language expert Inbaal Honigman said the couple appeared out of sync during their first joint U.K. outing since returning. The Duke and ******* ss of Sussex were photographed holding hands while walking to a Cotswolds pub. However, their relaxed appearance contrasted with the expert's interpretation of their body language.
According to News24, body language expert Inbaal Honigman ******* yzed photos of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry arriving at The Falkland Arms in the Cotswolds. The images, first published by The Sun, marked the couple's first public appearance together since relocating to Britain.
"They appear out of sync with each other during their first public outing, which could point to a potential clash," Honigman claimed. She alleged the couple displayed "very different body language cues" throughout their walk. The expert pointed to several moments in the photographs. She claimed Harry often looked straight ahead while Meghan focused elsewhere. She also noted that Meghan appeared guarded with one hand across her body, while Harry walked with a more relaxed stride.
According to the report, Honigman also highlighted a moment when Harry touched his ear, describing it as a sign of discomfort. "Their mismatched body language communicates a period of disharmony within their household," she alleged. She further claimed Harry walking several paces behind Meghan as they approached the pub "could be another sign of potential friction."
However, people at the venue reportedly described a very different scene. The Sun quoted a pub insider who said the couple "just acted like locals" during lunch. Meghan reportedly ordered gluten-free beer-battered haddock and chips, while Harry chose a chicken, ham and leek pie.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Sipping tea from beer mugs with his coworkers, Kyle Bos listed the ways his life is changing.
Bos has two daughters, with a third due in January. At the grocery store, five items cost as much as a full cart once did. And on Wednesday, Bos and nearly 1,400 other people were laid off from their jobs at what had been the Navistar truck factory in southwestern Ohio.
The layoffs — occurring just three days before Donald Trump's rally on Saturday at a nearby high school — were large enough to basically erase an entire year of job growth in the greater Dayton, Ohio area. And they are one reason why Bos, 30, plans to spend the final weeks before the November election canvassing votes for Democrats.
Asked how many times he voted for Trump, Bos held up three tattooed fingers. But he said he's done with the president.
"Something has to change politically in this country," said Bos, a member of the United Auto Workers who identifies as a centrist.

A quiet pub lunch for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has created considerably more noise online. The Duke and ****** ss of Sussex were photographed holding hands while walking to a historic Cotswolds pub during their latest stay in Britain. Although the couple reportedly behaved like ordinary customers once inside, their photographed arrival quickly became the focus of a heated debate. Critics accused the Sussexes of importing a "Hollywood circus" into the picturesque English countryside, while others questioned why two private citizens grabbing lunch had become news at all.

Harry and Meghan were photographed heading to The Falkland Arms in Great Tew, Oxfordshire, on October 1, marking their first joint public outing in Britain since returning to the country. According to The Sun, the couple held hands as they approached the traditional 16th-century pub. Meghan wore an all-black ensemble with contrasting white shoes, while Harry dressed casually in jeans and a jacket. He completed his outfit with a Santa Barbara Fire Department baseball cap. Their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, were reportedly at school during the outing. The couple apparently opted for hearty British dishes once inside. Meghan reportedly ordered gluten-free beer-battered haddock and chips with mushy peas and tartare sauce, while Harry selected chicken, ham and leek pie served with mashed potatoes, greens and gravy.

The cozy outing drew a considerably less welcoming response from some social-media users.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are settling into their life in the U.K.
In photos shared and published by The Sun, Harry, 42, and Meghan, 45, were seen holding hands as they made their way to lunch at a pub in the Cotswolds called The Falkland Arms.
The Sussexes were dressed down for the occasion, with Meghan opting for an all-black look in a sweater and jeans, which she paired with white sneakers. Harry, meanwhile, wore a light puffer jacket, gray T-shirt and jeans, completing the outfit with a pair of sneakers and a Santa Barbara fire department baseball cap, a nod to their former U.S. home.
The pair each sported sunglasses, keeping a relatively low profile as they were seen looking at a menu board outside the 16th-century pub in Great Tew, Oxfordshire.
According to the outlet, Meghan ate gluten-free beer-battered haddock and chips with mushy peas and tartar sauce, while Harry enjoyed a chicken, ham and leek pie with seasonal greens, creamy mashed potatoes and gravy.

Fourteen years ago, Ken Jouppi, who had operated a charter airplane business in Alaska since the 1970s, agreed to fly a passenger from Fairbanks to Beaver, one of the state's dry jurisdictions. The passenger's luggage included 72 cans of Budweiser and Bud Light, which she planned to share with her husband on his birthday. Although most of the beer was boxed, a six-pack "was packed only in a grocery bag and would have been in plain view to Jouppi as he was loading the airplane," the Alaska Supreme Court noted last year.
State troopers discovered the beer before the plane took off, and Jouppi was convicted of a misdemeanor. The trial court, which concluded that Jouppi had been "willfully blind" to the six-pack, sentenced him to three days in jail and a $1,500 fine. But state law mandated another punishment that was 63 times as severe: forfeiture of Jouppi's $95,000 airplane. Although that penalty seemed grossly disproportionate, the Alaska Supreme Court ruled that it did not violate the Eighth Amendment's ban on excessive fines.
In July, responding to a petition filed by the Institute for Justice, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to review that decision. It will hear oral argument in Jouppi v. Alaska on December 1. In a brief supporting Jouppi's appeal that it filed last week, the Cato Institute argues that the Alaska Supreme Court erred by failing to consider the gravity of his conduct and the financial consequences of the forfeiture. Both of those factors, Cato attorney Matthew Cavedon says, have been central to the common-law understanding of excessive fines for eight centuries.
"The Eighth Amendment was designed to prevent this kind of abuse by limiting excessive fines," Cavedon writes. "Long before the United States was founded, the common law protected people from extreme monetary penalties. But the Alaska Supreme Court's view is that challenges to excessive fines 'should rarely succeed.' This dismissive view led it to conclude that there is nothing excessive about the forfeiture of an airplane worth 'only 9.5 times the maximum fine'—and over 60 times the fine actually imposed. The decision below cannot be reconciled with this Court's precedent or the Excessive Fines Clause's original meaning."
In weighing the proportionality of the airplane forfeiture, the Alaska Supreme Court thought the relevant consideration was the harm caused by excessive drinking. "Alcohol abuse in rural Alaska leads to increased crime; disorders, such as alcoholism; conditions, such as fetal alcohol spectrum disorder; and death, imposing substantial costs on public health and the administration of justice," Justice Jude Pate wrote in the majority opinion. "Within this context, it is clear that the illegal importation of even a six-pack of beer causes grave societal harm."

One more sleep until the Green Bay Packers take on the Minnesota Vikings at US Bank Stadium. Until then, let's dive into some prospects Packers fans should keep tabs on during the Week 2 slate of the college football season.
With the Packers expected to have a heavy presence at the Mississippi State at Minnesota game, we'll start with the SEC vs. Big 10 matchup.
Ashton Beers, iOL: Beers fits what the Packers look for in interior lineman. The Gophers starting center has 14 starts at center, seven at right guard and two at left guard to his name. He also has taken snaps at left tackle. With his position versatility, size (6-6, 320) and football acumen, Beers could be a target for the Packers on Day 3 of the 2027 NFL Draft.
Jaray Bledsoe, DT, Mississippi State: Bledsoe is an active interior presence. Last week the former Texas transfer recorded 1.5 tackles for loss after he recorded 5.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks last season. The 6-4, 290 pound defensive tackle will face a tough test against Minnesota's interior offensive line that boasts potential first-round pick Greg Johnson and Beers.
John Walker, DT, Ohio State: A month ago if you were to discuss the Ohio State defensive tackles, you'd likely hear the names James Smith and Eddrick Houston and for good reason, both prospects are fine players. Houston looked like an immovable object last week against Ball State. John Walker though was the defensive tackle that caught my attention. He showed good initial quickness off the snap and power to make an impact against the run and impact the timing of the quarterback. I charted him with a pair of run stops and two pressures.

Annual U.S. cancer deaths tied to alcohol consumption more than doubled over a three-decade period, according to a recent study led by researchers at the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
The findings, published in The Lancet Regional Health — Americas and presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting in Chicago, revealed that alcohol-attributable cancer deaths jumped from 11,361 in 1990 to 23,126 in 2023.
Researchers ******* yzed more than 30 years of data from the Global Burden of Disease study to track the trends.
Beer, Wine Or Liquor? Massive Study Reveals Which Was Linked To Lower Death Risk
While alcohol has long been classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, surveys show that awareness of its link to cancer remains limited.

LONDON, Sept 10 (Reuters) - The first visitors to the British Museum's blockbuster Bayeux Tapestry exhibition spoke of their excitement at seeing with their own eyes the 1,000-year-old embroidery many remember from school lessons.
The sell-out display, which opened to the public on Thursday, has sparked a Bayeux craze across Britain, with newspapers producing special guides, online discussions about securing tickets, and the pub opposite the museum temporarily changing its name to "The Beer Tapestry".
The masterpiece will be shown at the museum in central London for the next 10 months, having left France for the first time since the 11th century. It depicts the Norman invasion of England in 1066, the most famous date in the nation's history.
"It's just magical, isn't it?" said Pauline Gairey, 53, a finance professional who had travelled from Wales, and recalled studying the tapestry at school.
'THE COLOUR IS STILL SO VIVID'

In the wee hours of Thursday morning, catcher Jose Trevino was once again pitcher Jose Trevino as the Cincinnati Reds wrapped up a 14-1 drubbing at the hands of the mighty Los Angeles Dodgers. The Reds managed just 6 hits in total on the night, their lone run coming off the bat of superstar Elly De La Cruz as he launched a moonshot off Yoshinobu Yamamoto to log a home run in his fifth consecutive game.
The loss sunk the Reds to the third worst run differential in the sport behind only the hilarious Colorado Rockies and homeless Athletics. Not exactly where you want to find yourself when you're supposedly on the upswing of one of Nick Krall's infamous rebuilds.
Now, the Reds head into Milwaukee to face the mighty Brewers, off whom they managed to take two of three in Great American Ball Park just last weekend. Safe to say, I expect there to be some revenge on the minds of those beermakers.
Lefty Andrew Abbott looks to turn the tide on his wayward season with the start in Friday's series opener at American Family Field that I still choose to call Miller Park. Dustin May takes the mound for the Beers, meaning this may well be Cincinnati's best chance to sock some dingers and actually take home a win in the series.
First pitch is set for 7:40 PM ET. Here's how the Reds will line up to start:

Hello and welcome to another edition of Free Agent! Jason has been placed on the PUP (physically unable to publish) list this week, so I've been called up for a spot start.
Real football doesn't start for another week (and "week zero" of college football is mostly nonsense), which means this is still baseball season, baby. Watching America's pastime has actually never been more affordable, despite those $15 beers at Nationals Park. Sharpen your pencils and grab your scorebooks.
As I said, real football starts next week—and you can join the fun by signing up for the one and only official Reason survivor pool. Don't be lame, do it.
Federal prosecutors have accused Daejon Labrayae Love of posing as a fake player for the San Francisco 49ers as part of a scam that defrauded more than two dozen women out of more than $1.3 million. Love allegedly "had romantic relationships with many of the victims and told them he wanted to build wealth and a future together," before asking them to take out personal loans to invest in "nonexistent investment vehicles." Getting deeply invested in a scenario that ultimately fails to reward you? Every 49ers fan under 35 can relate.
Novak Djokovic was upset in the first round of the U.S. Open by Mariano Navone in a match that lasted more than four and a half hours and included at least one puke break for the 24-time major champion, who said afterward that "I didn't enjoy myself." Checks out.

Watching America's pastime has actually never been more affordable, despite those $15 beers at Nationals Park. Sharpen your pencils and grab your scorebooks.
As I said, real football starts next week—and you can join the fun by signing up for the one and only official Reason survivor pool. Don't be lame, do it.
Federal prosecutors have accused Daejon Labrayae Love of posing as a fake player for the San Francisco 49ers as part of a scam that defrauded more than two dozen women out of more than $1.3 million. Love allegedly "had romantic relationships with many of the victims and told them he wanted to build wealth and a future together," before asking them to take out personal loans to invest in "nonexistent investment vehicles." Getting deeply invested in a scenario that ultimately fails to reward you? Every 49ers fan under 35 can relate.
Novak Djokovic was upset in the first round of the U.S. Open by Mariano Navone in a match that lasted more than four and a half hours and included at least one puke break for the 24-time major champion, who said afterward that "I didn't enjoy myself." Checks out.

We're not in August anymore, but we're still in the midwest in early September for Notre Dame's season opener against the Wisconsin Badgers at Lambeau Field in Green Bay. So… there could be a variety of different weather forecasts for Sunday's game, but thankfully for everyone going to the game — it should be a fairly good day and night for college football.
There are going to be some major storms rolling through Green Bay this week, which is going to leave the area VERY muggy with predictions of very high humidity. Fans looking to have fun during the day won't have to worry about the rain, but it still mught feel wet as you gulp down one or two or three brats and chug some of the finest beer in the land, PBR.
As we get closer to game time, the temperature will begin to drop significantly, but the humidity will still be very high. With the humidity and this being the first game of the year, players on the field and fans in the stands should be careful of cramps throughout the contest.

The Los Angeles Chargers signed quarterback Justin Herbert's brother, Patrick, to the practice squad after he was waived by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Justin, the face of the franchise and the signal caller for the next five years of Chargers football, has gone through a lot of personal changes, including recently getting engaged to pop star Maddison Beer.
His brother, Patrick, was a tight end on the Oregon Ducks with Justin during the 2019 season.
Since then, they have been on different trajectories: Justin went on to be a top pick, while Patrick has been fighting for a roster spot.

Last week, Denver Broncos head coach went scorched earth on FS1's Geoff Schwartz for his Bo Nix take on First Things First. After a few days of reflection, Payton addressed the situation once and for all after the Broncos' final preseason game, a win over the Minnesota Vikings on Friday night.
"That was crazy, wasn't it?" Payton said of the viral exchange. "I can't help myself, though. When I see something like that, I'm sorry. It's just, I have a pause and then it's like, 'What are you watching?' Just watch the tape."
Payton defended Nix once again, something he has found himself doing often since first drafting Nix in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft. "Everything was the opposite of what he was saying and the worst part was he played at Oregon," Payton said of Schwartz.
Payton compared Schwartz's take with the first time he ever saw former Vikings stars Percy Harvin and Adrian Peterson: It's completely different to see a player in-person than it is to watch a player on tape from the comfort of your home. Payton took one last shot at Schwartz in his post-game remarks. "You've got the basement podcast with the beer logo and I just couldn't help myself with that one," Payton said. "It was silly."
You can see Payton's full comments on the situation below.

USC debuted its latest concession stand item, which could take over the College Football landscape: the Trojan Beer Sword.
The item is meant to consume its namesake, letting fans pour their beer of choice into the top and fill it up.
It has a red plastic handle with a vertical sword grip, while the "blade" is a clear plastic tube that looks quite long and features the infamous USC logo.
Rather than the top of the sword being round, it is shaved off to be quite pointy, allowing the drinker to put their mouth on the tip and tilt it up for easy consumption.

When you think of College GameDay, you think of a festive, joyous atmosphere that celebrates college football and campuses around the country. But it wasn't always that way, especially if Lee Corso dared to pick the visiting team.
Before his retirement at the beginning of last season, Corso's mascot headgear pick was the climax of the program and one of the highlights of televised sports every week across the fall. Thankfully, ESPN has decided to retire the tradition along with him as it hasn't been picked up since. But the hype and anticipation for who he would pick and whether he would ride with the home team or dare to go against the grain was a huge deal.
And it was apparently too huge for some.
Longtime College GameDay ******* yst Kirk Herbstreit appeared on The Press Box podcast with Bryan Curtis at The Ringer and detailed a couple of scary incidents where fans were so upset over Corso's headgear picks that they actually threw projectiles at the set in the early years of the road show. Once it was a golf ball, and another time it was a full beer can. Herbstreit said that after the second occasion, the show put up a protective net behind the stage to ensure the safety of the on-air personalities.
"I remember two different occasions. We were at LSU doing an LSU-Alabama game and Corso picked Alabama. And he put on an elephant hat. This is before he did the helmets. And he had a massive Alabama red or crimson flag with an "A" on it and he's picking Alabama right in the heart of Baton Rouge. And here comes a golf ball flying from I don't know, 30 yards out, and it just happened to hit the flag that he was waving and it landed right on the desk," Herbstreit said.

Two members of the Golden Gophers football team have suffered season-ending injuries.
Head coach P.J. Fleck, speaking Thursday at the Minnesota State Fair, announced that backup center Brett Carroll and sophomore defensive lineman Enoch Atewogbola have sustained injuries that will force them to miss the entire 2026 season.
Carroll is the No. 2 center behind starter Ashton Beers. The redshirt sophomore is a physical specimen at 6-foot-5 and 320 pounds. He was a four-star recruit coming out of Olathe East High School in Kansas in 2024. He picked Minnesota over offers from the likes of Texas Tech, Illinois, Oklahoma State, and Iowa State.
Atewogbola is a sophomore who has not played in a game yet for the Gophers. However, he has a high ceiling as a former three-star recruit from Indiana who rushes off the edge at 6-foot-4 and 230 pounds.
The Gophers open the season on Thursday, Sept. 3, at home against Eastern Illinois.

Ivan Beerkus and Angela Nikolau may be facing criminal charges after their now-infamous Empire State Building stunt, but in the court of public opinion, they are slaying. The couple appeared at Manhattan Criminal Court on August 24, nearly two months after they climbed to the top of the Empire State Building's antenna, and they looked like characters in a romantic superhero movie.
They left in good spirits after attending a court hearing to face charges Manhattan Criminal Court in New York on August 24, 2026 (@ CHARLY TRIBALLEAU)
Beerkus, 32, and Nikolau, 33, arrived wearing matching black leather jackets and jeans, with one incredible accessory - handcuffs.

They each wore one half of the decorative cuffs, leaving the building hand-in-hand. Then they stopped for a full-on makeout session.

Several former Jersey Mike's executives and franchisees are reuniting at Dog Haus, betting the lessons they learned helping build the submarine sandwich giant can turn the fast-casual restaurant chain into a national powerhouse.
Dog Haus recently named former Jersey Mike's chief innovation officer James Field as chief marketing officer. He joins President and Chief Development Officer Chris Rigassio and Chief Operating Officer Garen Khodaverdian, both former Jersey Mike's franchisees.
The reunion follows Blackstone's January 2025 acquisition of a majority stake in Jersey Mike's in a deal valued at roughly $8 billion, according to SEC filings.
Field told FOX Business that the group could have pursued separate opportunities following the sale, but saw a chance to stay together and help scale Dog Haus, which currently operates roughly 60 locations.

Constellation Brands will invest $100 million over five years to boost U.S. farmer profitability in states that produce hops, barley and other ingredients in the Modelo and Corona maker's beers.
The investment will include additional purchases from farmers in Idaho, Montana and North Dakota, plus initiatives to improve market access and economic resiliency.
The beer maker will also establish a farmer-led advisory committee that will provide insight on how the investments can best support growers in the company's agricultural supply chain.
The farm economy is facing a "generational downturn," according to the American Farm Bureau Federation, as increased production costs and sustained weather challenges strain financials.

Anheuser-Busch InBev has invested in the production of its Cutwater spirits RTDs, a brand the brewing giant has said is enjoying rapid sales growth.
The company is spending $13m at its facility in Baldwinsville in New York state, part of which will also go towards the manufacturing of its Michelob Ultra beer brand.
The capital injection is part of the group's plan to invest $300m across its US production this year. AB InBev also invested the same amount in its production sites in 2025.
In a statement, the Stella Artois brewer said the move is going to "add new production capabilities for Cutwater to help meet rapidly growing demand".
The capital injection will also grow production of Michelob Ultra and "upgrade can and bottle lines", the group said.
