Green Bay is 4-2 on the season heading into Week 7 in Detroit after a 23-13 home win over the Cowboys that included a blunt postgame ****** sment from coach Matt LaFleur. LaFleur wants his team to focus on the details, something Jordan Love did well and linebacker Zaire Franklin's defense also excelled at in Week 6.
Franklin spoke to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic after the game during which he gave a warning on the Packers' hungry defense.
"I think it's just a credit to who we can be…Obviously we've got a lot of things we can clean up but I feel like we are a defense on the rise, every week we continue to get better and better…We got some stuff to clean up but I think the ceiling is extremely high."

Modern football is a game of two parts: the first hour or so, dictated by carefully curated gameplans and training ground patterns; and the final half-hour when a flurry of substitutes come on, rigid structures fade away and a match opens at the seams. ***** nal were dire for most of this game at the City Ground, shut out by Nottingham Forest's red wall. But yet again the power of Mikel Arteta's "finishers" decided a match.
Noni Madueke was sent on at half-time for Eberechi Eze, who had been statuesque at his station on the left touchline, which, in fairness, is not his position. With the clock ticking towards 80 minutes, Madueke did what Eze hadn't and drove at Forest's defence before unleashing a shot, which took a fortunate deflection off Jair Cunha on its way past the helpless Matz Sels. It went down as ***** nal's only shot on target, and in truth it might have been curling wide.
This was the third game in a row in which Arteta rang the changes in the second half as his team struggled to click, after Leeds last weekend and Lille in midweek. Once again he made a triple substitution on 65 minutes, sending on Jurrien Timber, Mikel Merino and Viktor Gyokeres, and once again a stubborn defence was worn down in the final stages. No Premier League side has generated more goals and ***** ists from the bench since the start of last season.

Forest were excellent in their determination to blunt ***** nal's attack. Like Eze, Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka had little joy, and Oliver Glasner took positives from a performance of cohesion and spirit. Liam Delap was a brilliant nuisance in attack and could have equalised in the final minutes but for Ezri Konsa's last-ditch block. Murillo nearly scored the goal of the season, dribbling in from the left touchline before curling just over the bar with one of the last kicks. But Forest remain third from bottom after a third successive defeat, and their wait for a first home goal of the season goes on.

In July, Reps. Mike Lawler, a New York Republican, and Josh Gottheimer, a New Jersey Democrat, had a request for the Federal Election Commission: help make sure artificial intelligence chatbots do not feed voters false information about the 2026 midterm elections.
The lawmakers, writing to the FEC as well as the Justice and Homeland Security departments, urged the agencies to coordinate on "AI-driven threats to election integrity" and to press AI companies on their safeguards. Their concerns come as a quarter of likely voters use AI tools daily and at least 38% have gotten information about candidates or voting from AI search summaries, according to a September survey released by the American ****** ociation of Political Consultants Foundation.
But later that month, FEC Commissioner Shana Broussard, a Democrat, wrote back with a blunt answer: the agency couldn't help. With only two of its six commissioner seats filled, the FEC "cannot proceed," she wrote, according to documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act.
Broussard signed the letter as an individual commissioner. Without a quorum — the four members needed out of a total of six — she could not under federal law even speak for the agency.

Palantir (PLTR) CEO Alex Karp has dropped a blunt theory about the AI industry's safety push.
The outspoken AI executive said that some companies might need government ownership to escape the financial consequences of their technology.
In his CNBC interview, Karp framed nationalization as the destination he believes those businesses are moving toward, with liability protection the prize.
His startling comments come as the industry's conversation shifts towards safeguards and whether development should slow down. Moreover, that also raises the question of who shoulders the risks created along the way?
Karp zeroes in on customers' intellectual property. He said businesses working with Palantir believe that their ideas and data are being fed into AI models, putting their competitive advantages at risk.

An old Wall Street adage just got a fresh test.
"Don't fight the Fed" has guided generations of investors through rate cycles both gentle and brutal. This time, it came roaring back into the conversation after the central bank made its first major policy shift in more than three years.
Jim Cramer wasted no time translating what happened into plain language for viewers watching at home. His verdict landed within hours of the decision, and it was blunt enough to make anyone holding stocks in their portfolio pay very close attention.
Cramer delivered his warning on Sept. 16 on "Mad Money," just hours after the Federal Reserve raised its benchmark federal funds rate by a quarter percentage point to a range of 3.75% to 4%.
"If you buy stocks here, you're now officially fighting the Federal Reserve," Cramer said, invoking the old adage that ignoring it tends to hurt returns.

Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) spent nearly two years raising anticipation for the Cybercab. When the time arrived on September 3 in Austin, the result was a stock that popped, then rapidly returned all of its gains, and a robotaxi race that still seems to be Alphabet's to lose.
Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) had its long-awaited Cybercab launch event in Austin, Texas, but it was invitation-only, not livestreamed, and CEO Elon Musk wasn't there. The company's main public update was a 51-second video released on X of the two-seat, steering-wheel-free vehicle roaming city streets and people hailing it by app. Shares rose roughly 5% throughout the session, finishing near $376. By September 4, enthusiasm had waned, with the stock plummeting as much as 6% as investors realized how little the event revealed about deployment timelines, production ramp, or regulatory clearance.
Only 45 Cybercabs were registered in Texas, and Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) did not seek an NHTSA exemption before deployment, instead self-certifying the Cybercab as compliant with applicable federal safety standards. NHTSA subsequently opened an audit into that certification and has ordered Tesla to provide additional information about the basis for its compliance claims. CNBC summarized the reaction bluntly: the update "underwhelmed" Wall Street, which had been relying on Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) becoming a strong rival in the robotaxi sector, which Alphabet's Waymo currently leads.
That comparison is at the heart of the story. Waymo has established the operational track record that Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) is still chasing: more than 4,000 autonomous vehicles across its U.S. fleet and more than 500,000 fully autonomous rides per week.
Wall Street's take on the incident was severely divided along those lines. Despite Tesla's efforts to control the narrative, some ******* ysts, including Gary Black of Future Fund, called the Cybercab debut largely a bust. Others, such as Deepwater ******* et Management's Gene Munster, predicted that Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) will add approximately 300 Cybercabs in Austin over the next month.

Steel and materials markets fluctuated between rallies and pullbacks as the US-Canada trade relationship shifted from near agreement to open dispute. Nucor Corporation (NYSE:NUE) and Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE:CLF) rose on August 25, after discussions between the two countries broke down, a turnaround from the week before, when several of the same stocks fell on hopes that a new deal would decrease steel and aluminum tariffs. The VanEck Steel ETF gained 1.6% on the day, while the State Street Materials Select Sector SPDR reached an intraday high. The rise didn't last: by the end of the week, the materials ETF had slipped to negative territory, while the steel ETF was about flat, though, both remain substantially up for 2026.
The volatility traces a rapid escalation. On August 19, Bloomberg reported that the US and Canada had tentatively agreed to reduce tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum to 25% and vehicle charges to 15%. That optimism was dashed within days: on August 22, the US imposed 50% tariffs on a wide variety of Canadian exports, and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney responded by declaring Canada officially "at war" with the United States, saying "You're at war when you're attacked, and we got attacked."
On August 25, Ottawa announced counter-tariffs of C$27.6 billion on American goods, which took effect on September 8 at rates ranging from 15% to 50%. The dispute has continued to escalate since then, with Washington announcing additional restrictions and tariffs on Canadian goods in September, reinforcing the view that a quick resolution remains unlikely.
Atsi Sheth, Moody's chief credit officer, put it bluntly: "Expect much more of this uncertainty for some time to come." Investors initially welcomed tariffs as good news for US steelmakers facing less Canadian competition, but the back-and-forth negotiations, as well as Canada's reaction, have made predicting a steady outcome difficult.
The more intriguing story is how differently the aforementioned companies are positioned. Nucor Corporation (NYSE:NUE) relies primarily on scrap-based electric arc furnace steelmaking, while Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE:CLF) operates a vertically integrated model with internally sourced iron ore, scrap and other raw materials. Both have meaningful domestic raw-material exposure, although their production models differ substantially. Nucor Corporation (NYSE:NUE) is up more than 50% year-to-date, while Cleveland-Cliffs Inc. (NYSE:CLF), despite similar structural insulation, remains negative for 2026, which **** ysts attribute to balance sheet stress rather than tariffs.

With the news that Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Landon ******* erson was being placed on IR with a knee injury, ******* erson himself seemed fine with the development — especially since, in the guard's view, he had no business being on the field in Week 1.
In an interview on Philadelphia's 94 WIP radio, which took place very shortly after the IR news landed, ******* erson offered a blunt ******* sment of his play in the Eagles' narrow 24-22 win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday.
"Honestly, (to) address the elephant in the room, I played like sh** yesterday," ******* erson said. "I was a complete liability yesterday and, again, that was my fault … I shouldn't be out there until I feel healthy."
Dickerson said that he got "rolled up on" in practice last month during training camp, but continued to push through the injury. Imaging on Monday confirmed that he had a bone bruise in his right knee.
Dickerson found out that he was being placed on IR while live on air: After being read a report from the Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McClane, who was the first to report the news, the Eagles' starting left guard admitted to WIP that he hadn't been officially told, but that he knew it "was kind of the plan."

The Chargers suffered a brutal Week 1 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday, 26-14.
Los Angeles was flat for most of the contest and was outplayed in all three phases. The Cardinals were the more prepared and physical team in the season opener, and the Chargers fell flat on their face.
It was evident, especially in the second half. While many Chargers were unhappy with their performance, tight end Charlie Kolar offered a blunt ****** sment.
Kolar spoke to the media after the game and didn't hold back after the game.
"Just not good enough, plain and simple," Kolar said.

2027 NFL Draft QB rankings: Darian Mensah, Drew Mestemaker on the rise appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The 2027 NFL Draft class was talked up to be loaded with quarterbacks, which was much-needed for many NFL teams coming off of what many claimed was a one-QB class in 2026. Before the college football season, this was billed as one of the most talented QB classes in recent memory.
So far, that hasn't necessarily played out on the field. Dante Moore, our No. 1 quarterback on the board in the preseason, has looked awful, to put it bluntly. Arch Manning and Julian Sayin were up-and-down in their blockbuster Week 2 clash between Ohio State and Texas.
On the other side of the coin, Darian Mensah and Trinidad Chambliss have been very impressive so far in the opening few weeks, and CJ Carr has also played very well against a soft schedule to open the year.

Manchester United head coach Michael Carrick should play forward Benjamin Sesko as his side are offering "no danger" through the middle, says former Premier League striker Charlie Austin.
Matheus Cunha started in the striker position with Bruno Fernandes behind him and Bryan Mbeumo and Marcus Rashford on the wings on Sunday. However, his side were largely blunt in the 1-0 derby defeat by rivals Manchester City, despite playing against 10 men for almost 70 minutes, and register a lower xG (expected goals) than their opponents.
Sesko was eventually introduced midway through the second half but could not turn the tie around.
"I don't think we should allow VAR and those moments to overshadow the fact that Manchester United were poor," Austin told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast.
"They don't play with a number nine. They had 10 versus 11 and didn't have a number nine. Cunha is not a nine, he is a 10 or he plays wide. He is never occupying the two centre backs or he drops in.

Atlético Tucumán head coach Julio César Falcioni made harsh accusations against the refereeing after the defeat to River Plate. The experienced manager expressed his outrage over decisions he believes harmed the Tucumán side.
"If Atlético is a problem, they should let us know," Falcioni fired back to the media. The coach claimed there was a foul on Canelo that should have led to a red card for a River player, openly criticizing the lack of judgment from both the main referee and the officials in the VAR booth.
With his trademark blunt tone, the coach ended his remarks without holding back: "It surprises me that some things are judged one way and others differently. Looks like River's band is working again. I can tell right away when I'm getting screwed."

Pennsylvania state Rep. David Maloney, a Republican, is asking President Donald Trump to rename Lake Erie to "Lake Pennsylvania" following similar renaming efforts by the president.
Maloney is preparing a resolution calling on Trump, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and lawmakers on Capitol Hill to take steps to rename Lake Erie to "Lake Pennsylvania," arguing that the change is needed to reflect the lake's modern identity.
"This is Pennsylvania's only Great Lake. Its modern economy and identity are increasingly tied to the boaters, anglers, families and tourists who come to enjoy it," Maloney said in a statement. "Ohio has plenty of shoreline. New York already has two Great Lakes. Canada has four others."

Two Premier League matches at Anfield. Two draws.
For just the third time in 63 years, Liverpool have failed to win both of their opening home games of a league season - not exactly the flying start new boss Andoni Iraola would have been dreaming of.
After such an encouraging midweek performance against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, full of urgency, Saturday's goalless draw against Fulham was a flat follow-up, especially with the Cottagers lacking in confidence and having conceded seven goals in their first three league games.
The Reds looked physically and mentally tired and, to put it bluntly, like an entirely different team to the one that won against a Diego Simeone side that made it to the Champions League semi-finals last season.
On the first real look at how Iraola's style will cope with two games a week, this was certainly not what the Liverpool head coach, nor the Anfield crowd, would have wanted to see.

On September 3, Genesco (NYSE:GCO) reported a second quarter that should not have worked on paper. Revenue fell 3% to $530 million, yet the company nearly halved its adjusted operating loss and raised full-year earnings guidance to the top end of its range. That combination, shrinking sales alongside expanding profit, is the footwear-first strategy showing up in real numbers. Every one of the company's three brands beat internal expectations, and management says the toughest sales pressure ahead is coming from a deliberate choice rather than a weakening business.
Journeys, the company's teen-focused chain, delivered its eighth consecutive quarter of positive comparable sales, up 2%, even while lapping strong growth from a year earlier. The more interesting story sits underneath that number. The Journeys 4.0 store format, a redesigned concept built around a more elevated ***** ortment, is generating a sales lift of 25% or more wherever it opens, and the company expects roughly 180 locations, about a fifth of its fleet, running that format by year-end. That rollout, combined with fleet optimization and more efficient use of selling staff, handed Journeys 180 basis points of expense leverage in the quarter. Comparable sales kept accelerating into August, marking Journeys' ninth straight month of positive comps and a mid-single-digit gain during the back-to-school peak.
Johnston & Murphy is running its own streak, with comparable sales up 4% in its third consecutive positive quarter, helped by a newly extended, multiyear partnership with Peyton Manning and a broader shift in menswear toward more refined, put-together dressing. Companywide, adjusted gross margin expanded 140 basis points to 47.2%, and the adjusted operating loss narrowed to $8 million from $14 million a year ago. Genesco also collected $22.5 million in tariff refunds during the quarter and cut total debt to $15.8 million from $71 million a year earlier, giving a new CFO and a new Schuh president a far healthier balance sheet to work with as they settle into their roles.
The drag comes almost entirely from Schuh, Genesco's UK chain, where comparable sales fell 9% as management deliberately pulled back on discounting to protect margin. Executives were blunt about the cost of that choice. CEO Mimi Vaughn said "the UK consumer market remains challenged and price sensitive," and the Schuh turnaround is expected to take longer than the one already underway at Journeys. That pressure is now baked into guidance. Full-year total sales are expected to fall about 2%, worse than the prior forecast of down 1% to flat, with management incorporating more back-half sales pressure than it originally planned for given how promotional the UK footwear market has become.

Emily Blunt reunited with co-star Meryl Streep for an unforgettable high-fashion evening in New York City. Attending The Devil Wears Prada 2 Wardrobe Auction, the English actress commanded total attention on the red carpet. Captivating fashion lovers and photographers everywhere, she proved once again that classic black gowns can deliver maximum drama, movement, and modern playfulness.
For the high-profile charity auction, Blunt wore a striking runway piece straight from Christian Cowan's Spring/Summer 2027 collection. Her long-time stylist Jessica Paster curated the monochromatic look, which expertly balances modest coverage with daring sheer texture. The top portion of the dress features a sleek, form-fitting black turtleneck knit with snug long sleeves. Below the hips, the structured knit stops, giving way to sheer netting completely covered in cascading black fringe tassels.
The floor-length black fringe moved with every step, while crystal-embellished Dolce & Gabbana satin sandals added a subtle sparkle beneath the hem. The sandals' crystal straps were occasionally visible through the swinging fringe, complementing the otherwise monochromatic look.
Posing on the red carpet, Emily shared a warm moment with legendary co-star Meryl Streep. Emily wrapped one arm affectionately around Meryl's shoulder as both actresses smiled brightly for the camera line. Meryl looked equally chic in a patterned silk dress, creating an iconic reunion snapshot that delighted fans of the classic fashion film.
Emily's glam team kept her beauty routine polished and timeless to complement the dramatic dress. She wore her warm blonde hair pulled back into a neat, slicked-low bun. Her makeup featured radiant skin, soft bronzer, subtle winged eyeliner, and a glossy berry-pink lip. By contrasting a simple long-sleeved turtleneck with an ultra-fun fringe skirt, Emily Blunt executed high fashion with complete confidence.

LAWRENCE, Kan. — It was that deep for Missouri football.
Before Friday night's Border War matchup, the second in the revived rivalry between two of college football's fiercest foes, Kansas posted a video to its social media accounts that made blunt, hardly subtle references to the rivalry's roots and the Civil War.
There were snippets of various Civil War-era figures, including John Brown and William Quantrill. Included in the 90-second clip narrated by former KU nose tackle Gilbert Brown, was the phrase "there's right and wrong, there's Kansas and Missouri."
It went viral. The Jayhawks played it again on the videoboard shortly before kickoff at David Booth Family Memorial Stadium.
That, in no uncertain terms, rubbed Mizzou and its head coach the wrong way.

In a new interview with The New York Times, the acclaimed author reflected on the loss of her son and her fight to get answers.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie no longer feels that Nigeria is "home."
The acclaimed author has been vocal about the changes she's experienced since her 21-month-old son died following a medical emergency. After sharing a social media post alleging medical negligence by the hospital over her son's care in June, she's expounding on how losing her son has prompted her to have a different feeling towards her homeland.
"My feelings toward Nigeria have changed," Adichie told The New York Times in a recent interview. When asked if the country still felt like somewhere close to her heart, she offered an even more blunt response.
"I do not want to go back to Nigeria."

GANDER, Newfoundland (AP) — Standing in the town that sheltered thousands of stranded Americans after the Sept. 11 attacks, former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien marked the 25th anniversary Friday with a pointed message for the United States: "Never mistake our generosity for weakness."
The 92-year-old former leader, who was prime minister at the time of the attacks, drew a standing ovation after telling his "American friends" that Canadians may be tolerant and kind but "we bow to no one." U.S. Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra rose afterward and hugged him.
"I say that not in anger, but as one friend to another," Chrétien said. "Friends need to be honest with each other."
The unusually blunt remarks came during a solemn ceremony honoring the nearly 3,000 people killed in New York, at the Pentagon and aboard Flight 93, and remembering Gander's extraordinary response to the attacks.
Gander, Newfoundland opened its arms to nearly 6,600 airline passengers diverted there when the U.S. government shut down airspace during 9/11.

"The Matrix" director Lilly Wachowski issued blunt comments about J.K. Rowling in a new interview, accusing the "Harry Potter" writer of funding transgender genocide. Now, the prolific author has responded via a statement from a representative, highlighting the right to free speech.
Jeffrey Mayer/JTMPhotos, Int'l. / MEGA
Following Wachowski accusing Rowling of "funding trans genocide" and lumping her in with ****** s, her agent, Neil Blair, issued a response to the filmmaker via Entertainment Weekly. Blair began, "Freedom of speech is a principle we should all cherish."
The statement continued, "What matters is that J.K. Rowling's views, as with anyone else's, are represented accurately, fairly and respectfully and that individual opinion does not detract from those views."
In addressing the "Matrix" director directly, the agent noted, "To correct Lilly Wachowski, through The J.K. Rowling Women's Fund, J.K Rowling supports women taking legal action in the UK to preserve their existing rights under the Equality Act 2010, which are often overlooked or threatened."

Serena Williams turned a frightening childbirth experience into a pointed conversation about women's healthcare. The tennis legend said her ordeal showed her how widespread those struggles had become.
Williams revisited the experience during the Forbes Power Women's Summit on September 10. She also connected her advocacy to motherhood, entrepreneurship and the example she wanted to set for her daughters.
Williams told Forbes Executive Vice President Moira Forbes that she initially misunderstood the scale of the problem. "When I told my story, I didn't realize how many people could relate," she said. "Then I realized it's a women's problem." She later delivered her bluntest punchline about childbirth. "If men were giving birth, they would have sweets [and] like all kinds of medicines," Williams said. She joked that the healthcare problem "wouldn't be the same" otherwise.
The 44-year-old faced life-threatening complications after delivering Alexis Olympia in 2017. Doctors performed an emergency C-section before a coughing fit reopened her wound. Williams previously detailed the ordeal in a 2018 CNN opinion piece. Doctors discovered a large abdominal hematoma before she developed a pulmonary embolism.
The condition triggered a six-day medical battle and multiple surgeries. Williams said her doctor listened when she knew something had gone wrong. "I knew something was wrong with me and it was super important that I was heard," she said. She credited her doctor and nurses with helping save her life.

The San Francisco 49ers have received mixed injury news after their 27-7 win over the Los Angeles Rams, with Jake Tonges facing a concerning MCL injury while De'Zhaun Stribling avoided the worst-case scenario.
Tonges was hurt during the victory at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and needed ***** istance off the field before being ruled out. Kyle Shanahan later gave a blunt ***** sment of the tight end's situation, saying "it's not good" before adding that further evaluation was still needed.
The injury is particularly significant given Tonges' role behind George Kittle. He recorded 34 receptions for 293 yards and five touchdowns last season before signing a two-year, $8 million contract with San Francisco this year.

Stribling also suffered an injury during the game, initially leaving with an ankle problem before returning and then going down again on the following possession.

Trevor Story's Blunt Message Helps Jarren Duran End Negative Spiral originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Jarren Duran changed his appearance before changing the direction of his September. The Boston Red Sox outfielder cut his signature long hair during the team's weekend series in Baltimore, dyed it blond and then delivered one of his best offensive performances in months.
Duran went 2-for-4 with a home run and a double in Boston's 5-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Monday at Fenway Park. His solo shot was his 20th home run of the season and helped the Red Sox extend their winning streak to five games.
The new look created plenty of attention. A direct message from Trevor Story might have been considerably more important.
Duran has openly acknowledged his frustration throughout a season that has not always matched his expectations. Story, whose locker has been located next to Duran's for years, eventually decided his teammate needed to hear a difficult truth.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's relationship with the royal family will reportedly face renewed tension. The shift follows a pointed letter from King Charles. According to a royal expert, the Duke of Sussex will be left "angered" by official guidance clarifying his standing in the monarchy. The Sussexes previously sparked fresh speculation after returning to Britain with their family. While speculation remains about their future ties, Charles allegedly handed the couple a blunt statement confirming they remain non-working royals.
The firm directive from Buckingham Palace has reportedly dashed any lingering hopes of a hybrid role for the Sussexes. King Charles' official instruction to government and military officials could reportedly keep the Sussexes sidelined in the long run. Royal commentators writing for iNews recently revealed that the King issued a formal statement to establish clear boundaries.
According to reports, the letter was sent by the Lord Chamberlain on behalf of the King to government departments, military officials, lord lieutenants across Britain, and Harry and Meghan themselves. Although Harry is the King's son, the Palace allegedly wants no confusion about his non-working status moving forward.
Reports claimed that official guidance serves as a shut-down against rumors of a half-in, half-out royal plan. "Not a quiet word in your ear, not a private memo: no, this was a formal, blunt statement of fact sent to Harry on his father's orders," the report noted. The expert revealed that Palace officials strictly designed the public directive to shut down speculation.
Furthermore, the directive stated that Harry and Meghan's "HRH" ******* les remain in abeyance, preventing the couple from using them in any official capacity. Harry might hope to continue his charitable work in Britain. However, Buckingham Palace has completely ruled out official royal backing.

Robert De Niro's political reputation took an unexpected turn according to an AI image Donald Trump shared on Truth Social. The post depicted the veteran actor wearing a pro-Trump message, despite De Niro's long record of publicly opposing the president and his administration.
Donald Trump posted the apparently AI-created picture on Truth Social Sunday, showing Robert De Niro holding a red shirt emblazoned with "TRUMP IS MY PRESIDENT." The president added his own jab, writing, "Even this jerk is beginning to get it," while offering no indication that the actor had actually changed his political position (via The Independent).
De Niro has spent decades building one of Hollywood's most respected acting careers. His résumé includes Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and Goodfellas, while his performances have earned him two Academy Awards. Away from the screen, however, he has become equally recognizable for his outspoken opposition to Trump.
That stance stretches back years. Before the 2016 election, De Niro branded Trump a "pig," "punk," and "bulls*** artist." In 2019, he escalated his criticism by calling Trump "evil" and saying he could not wait to see him imprisoned. His latest comments to USA Today last month remained just as blunt.
"I don't even use the word 'hope' anymore," De Niro said of Trump's administration, warning that it could damage America and other parts of the world. "He's just going to destroy not only the country, but other parts of the world. It's insane. That's a big concern of mine, and I think a lot of people now," the actor continued.

New-look Manchester City overcame a spirited challenge from Coventry on Saturday courtesy of an Erling Haaland goal to stay perfect in the Premier League, as blunt Tottenham were held to a goalless draw at Nottingham Forest.
Enzo Maresca is now the man in the Etihad hotseat after the emotional departure of long-serving Pep Guardiola, while there has been significant churn among the playing staff.
One of the new arrivals, Enzo Fernandez, played a major part in City's first-half goal, feeding Antoine ******* yo, who crossed for Haaland to head home his third of the season.
Table-topping City have won all three of their Premier League matches ahead of next week's Manchester derby at Old Trafford.
Former Chelsea boss Maresca said teams needed "ugly moments" as well as free-flowing football after the stodgy win, in which newly promoted Coventry squandered chances.
