On August 13, a federal appeals court ruled in favor of Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD), upholding a preliminary injunction that bars the defendants from importing or facilitating the sale of foreign-market Gilead-branded medications in the US. The US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit found that the differences between Gilead's HIV medication for the US market and the foreign versions being imported were "material, not theoretical." The controversy began in December 2024 when Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD) filed suit against a number of companies, including third-party administrator Meritain Health, pharmacy benefit manager ProAct, and pharmacies Rx Valet and Advanced Pharmacy, alleging illegal imports of its best-selling HIV drug Biktarvy.
The dispute dates back to December 2024, when Gilead Sciences, Inc. (NASDAQ:GILD) sued a group of companies, including third-party administrator Meritain Health, pharmacy benefit manager ProAct, and pharmacies Rx Valet and Advanced Pharmacy, alleging illegal imports of its top-selling HIV drug Biktarvy. The lawsuit arose from a specific instance in which a patient in Maryland received the medicine in the mail from Turkey, with label instructions written in Turkish.
A federal district court in Baltimore ruled in Gilead's favor and ordered a preliminary injunction, determining that the company was likely to succeed on its Lanham Act trademark violation and unfair competition arguments. As the case continued, the injunction was increased to include new sellers like CanaRx, ElectRx, and ScriptSourcing. The defendants filed an appeal with the Fourth Circuit, and the district judge declined to suspend the injunction while the appeal was pending, thus the import restriction has been in effect the entire time. The recent ruling maintains the order rather than overturning it.
In court documents, Rx Valet stated that the Turkish-sourced Biktarvy was chemically identical to the US version, which was offered at a significantly higher price. Meritain, for its part, said that it has never supported getting non-FDA-approved pharmaceuticals from outside the US and denies the claims, despite being named as a defendant.
The Fourth Circuit rejected the defendants' main argument that the imported and domestic versions of Biktarvy are interchangeable. The court's judgment that the two versions differ materially, not just in packaging or labeling, but also in the quality-control protocols that each version goes through before reaching a patient, challenges the basic argument that these alternative funding programs have used to support their business model.

Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA)'s long-idled Belvidere ******* embly Plant in Illinois has been a case study for how a plant reopening can be pushed further into the future. The plant has been dormant since February 2023, when Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA) ended the Jeep Cherokee production and laid off over 1,300 employees. A 2027 production target for Belvidere has now shifted, with Stellantis targeting pilot production of the next-generation Cherokee in the first half of 2028 and retail production in the second half of 2029, even as Stellantis portrays the news as a larger investment rather than a delay.
Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA) announced an increase in its Belvidere investment to more than $800 million, up from a previous commitment of $600 million or more, and confirmed that the plant will produce the next-generation Jeep Cherokee on its new STLA One platform, the first vehicle built in the US on that modular design, which the company claims will improve manufacturing efficiency and reduce costs.
However, according to UAW Local 1268 president Matt Frantzen, citing internal records and talks with company executives, the updated schedule pushes pilot production into the first half of 2028, while retail production is not targeted to begin until the second half of 2029, roughly two years later than Stellantis' previous 2027 initial-production target.
The Belvidere news is a grave situation developing north of the border. Unifor, the Canadian union that represents Detroit Three autoworkers, stated that Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA) has signed an MOU with Canadian armored-vehicle maker Roshel outlining a potential sale of its Brampton, Ontario ******* embly plant, which has been idle since 2023. According to union president Lana Payne, Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA) has yet to provide the official year's notice required by the collective agreement. Payne described it as a "lose-lose scenario," claiming Stellantis' 2023 commitment to keep Brampton staffed had been broken.
The two stories are directly related. Brampton had been scheduled to build the Jeep Compass, with retooling beginning in early 2024 before Stellantis N.V. (NYSE:STLA) paused it in 2025 and then, that October, moved Compass manufacturing to the US completely, the same reassignment that sent the model to Belvidere.

Extreme weather is creating a more demanding environment for property owners, insurers, and communities. According to the National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI), the United States recorded 27 confirmed billion-dollar weather and climate disasters in 2024, resulting in a total cost of $182.7 billion. These events spanned a wide range of extremes, including severe storm events, tropical cyclones, wildfires, drought/heat waves, and winter storm/cold wave events. Over the last decade, ***** ulative losses from these disasters have exceeded $1.4 trillion, driven significantly by population growth, material wealth, and increased development in hazard-prone areas. These figures suggest that the financial consequences of extreme events may increasingly depend on how accurately the value of exposed property is understood before a loss occurs.
That question becomes especially consequential during reconstruction. A 2026 report from Bloomberg, featured in Claims Journal, noted that surveys conducted by United Policyholders since 2007 found an average of two-thirds of wildfire survivors reporting that they were underinsured, with an average shortfall of $200,000 or more. The Insurance Information Institute has similarly estimated that two-thirds of American homeowners may be underinsured for wildfire losses, typically by about 20%, and in some cases by as much as 60%. These findings illustrate how the presence of an insurance policy can still leave a substantial difference between available coverage and the resources required to rebuild, particularly when construction costs rise after a catastrophe.
The financial implications can extend across the broader insurance ecosystem. Aon's 2026 Climate and Catastrophe Insight reported approximately $260 billion in global economic losses from natural catastrophes during 2025, compared with $127 billion in insured losses. For property stakeholders, such a figure may place greater attention on the relationship between the value ***** igned to an ***** et, the cost of restoring it, and the capital available when a loss occurs.
Frequency can add another layer to that calculation. Data from NCEI indicate that the average interval between U.S. billion-dollar disaster events was approximately 16 days during 2020–2024, compared with 82 days during the 1980s. NCEI notes that shorter intervals can leave less time and fewer resources for response, recovery, and preparation for subsequent events. As the time between major events contracts, property valuations may require more frequent attention because construction costs, labor conditions, materials, and local economic circumstances can change between policy reviews.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's shocking divorce led to much speculation about a family rift, especially after claims that their daughters were fighting over the breakup. However, it seems that the two, who split in September 2025 after 19 years of marriage, are slowly getting back on good terms.
"Things have gotten so much better," a source recently told the National Enquirer. "They're actually speaking again — and he's now suggesting that they should do Christmas as a family in Australia."

R&B singer Bilal is facing allegations from Jamila Raegan, the mother of his adult son Bashir, who claims the artist has left her to handle their son's care alone.

"I'm not okay because I've spent over half of my life protecting an abuser," she wrote before identifying the singer by name.
Raegan said Bashir has multiple disabilities, including autism and bipolar disorder, and claimed Bilal has shown "complete disregard" while she manages their son's needs. "I am caring for him alone while his father continues to live his life," she wrote.
Raegan did not detail what **** istance she believes Bilal has withheld or provide specific information about her abuse allegation in the post.

Kylian Mbappe has been scoring goals for fun for both Real Madrid and France over the past few years.
Unfortunately for him, though, those goals have not necessarily translated into success for his teams in terms of trophies.
There has been some criticism over whether Mbappe is detrimental to the team's success, but the Frenchman has vehemently dismissed those claims.
In a wide-ranging interview with L'Equipe, as quoted by Mundo Deportivo, Mbappe has opened up on several major subjects surrounding him and Madrid.
Mbappe did not hide his belief that his performances deserve football's biggest individual prize.

Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft (NYSE:DB) said on September 7 that it had settled a Frankfurt lawsuit brought by former banker Dario Schiraldi, according to Reuters. He had sought €152 million in damages, but the settlement amount was not disclosed. The bank said the agreement would have only a small financial effect on third-quarter earnings.
The distinction matters: €152 million was the claim, while the payment remains confidential. The earnings impact also does not establish the cash cost, because a settlement payment may discharge a liability for which an expense was recognized earlier.
Four former employees continue to pursue claims exceeding £600 million in London. The Frankfurt agreement therefore reduces the number of unresolved cases without establishing the cost of resolving the wider dispute.
Deutsche Bank Aktiengesellschaft (NYSE:DB) has removed one source of litigation uncertainty. The Frankfurt court confirmed that Schiraldi withdrew his case ahead of the scheduled hearing. Investors now have management's ***** sment of a limited near-term earnings effect instead of an unresolved damages demand.
The agreement also shows that negotiated resolutions are possible. It was the second settlement involving the six former employees who brought related claims. Further agreements could reduce litigation costs and management distraction if acceptable terms can be reached.

Oxford Industries, Inc. (NYSE:OXM) reported fiscal second-quarter net sales of $394.4 million, down 2.2%. Full-price direct-to-consumer sales declined 1%, while wholesale sales fell 14%, primarily reflecting lower off-price sales.
GAAP gross margin increased to 73.8% from 61.4% after Oxford Industries, Inc. (NYSE:OXM) recognized approximately $42 million of tariff refund claims as a reduction of cost of goods sold. Company-defined non-GAAP adjusted gross margin, excluding tariff refunds and LIFO effects, still improved to 63.1% from 61.7%. Updated **** ortment, sourcing, and pricing strategies increased initial markups, while lower off-price wholesale sales improved the sales mix.
Oxford Industries, Inc. (NYSE:OXM) lowered full-year sales guidance to $1.43 billion to $1.47 billion from $1.475 billion to $1.505 billion. Company-defined non-GAAP adjusted EPS guidance fell to $1.60 to $2.00 from $2.30 to $2.70, reducing the midpoint by 28%. Adjusted EPS excludes LIFO effects, tariff refunds and related interest, Johnny Was amortization, distribution-center relocation costs, merchandising initiatives, store-closure impairments and related taxes.
Underlying margin expansion suggests Oxford Industries, Inc. (NYSE:OXM) improved product economics beyond the one-time refund. Company-defined non-GAAP adjusted operating income, which excludes LIFO effects, tariff refunds and related interest, Johnny Was amortization, and specified distribution-center, merchandising, and store-closure costs, increased to $29.3 million from $28.3 million. Adjusted operating margin rose to 7.4% from 7.0%.
Tommy Bahama remained the strongest major brand for Oxford Industries, Inc. (NYSE:OXM), with sales increasing 0.8% and adjusted gross margin rising to 63.6% from 60.7%. FIFO inventory fell $9 million, or 4%, from one year earlier, reducing markdown exposure.

XPO, Inc. (NYSE:XPO) reported that preliminary August 2026 North American less-than-truckload, or LTL, tonnage per day increased 3.7% from a year earlier. Shipments per day rose 5.7%, while average weight per shipment declined 1.8%. Final July figures showed tonnage per day increasing 5.8%, shipments per day rising 5.9%, and weight per shipment slipping 0.2%.
The two months indicate stronger shipment activity, but August's wider gap between shipment and tonnage growth points to lighter freight. The investment question is whether XPO, Inc. (NYSE:XPO) can convert additional shipments into better network density and fixed-cost absorption without allowing extra handling costs to dilute margins.
Higher shipment counts can improve the utilization of routes, service centers, dock doors, and equipment. XPO, Inc. (NYSE:XPO) operates an ****** et-based North American LTL network that moves approximately 16 billion pounds of freight annually. More shipments moving through that infrastructure can spread terminal, technology, and equipment costs across a larger revenue base.
The second quarter provides evidence that XPO, Inc. (NYSE:XPO) has recently translated volume and pricing growth into stronger economics. North American LTL revenue increased 15.2% to $1.43 billion. Fuel-surcharge revenue accounted for part of that increase, rising to $314 million from $183 million. Separately, yield excluding fuel increased 4.4%, shipments per day rose 2.8%, and tonnage per day increased 1.0%.
XPO, Inc. (NYSE:XPO) reported a company-defined non-GAAP adjusted operating ratio of 79.9%, an improvement of 300 basis points. XPO, Inc. (NYSE:XPO) calculates adjusted operating ratio as one minus adjusted operating income divided by segment revenue, using unrounded amounts. Adjusted operating income removes amortization and restructuring costs and adjusts for gains on real estate transactions. XPO, Inc. (NYSE:XPO) also reported a damage claims ratio below 0.2%.

In a lawsuit filed on Sept. 10, and obtained by Rolling Stone, Quintanilla III seeks an unspecified amount in damages and monetary relief exceeding $1 million.

Diana's daring outfit dominated headlines and overshadowed Charles' confession, and thus, the ensemble was dubbed a "revenge dress."

NEW YORK, Sept 10 (Reuters) - As U.S. President Donald Trump pressures institutions he views as adversaries, JPMorgan Chase and Capital One are fighting back. It is a strategy that legal experts and industry sources say may carry fewer risks than giving in.
Trump and his businesses are suing the banks, alleging they closed his accounts in 2021 for political reasons. They deny ‌the claims. Capital One told a federal court in July that it closed Trump's accounts following an internal anti-money-laundering review, sparking renewed scrutiny including from a senior Democratic senator who last week pressed the bank ‌for more details.
Capital One has not accused Trump or his businesses of money-laundering. Spokespeople for both banks declined to comment. The Trump Organization last week called the anti-money-laundering review a pretext to conceal a politically motivated decision.
While several legal experts said the banks have strong defenses, fighting Trump poses risks for the banks by potentially deepening animus with the president and airing confidential internal deliberations in public.

New claims are being made against Kroy "KJ" Biermann Jr., the son of The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Kim Zolciak and estranged husband Kroy Biermann.
The 15-year-old appeared in Georgia's Fulton County Superior Court for a bond hearing on Friday, September 11, after being arrested last month for an alleged incident involving a female classmate. KJ was charged with seven felony counts, including aggravated ****** ual battery, per TMZ.
According to Page Six, Deputy District Attorney Caitlin McGillicuddy revealed that investigators found videos on KJ's phone that allegedly depict intercourse with a relative under the age of 12.
McGillcuddy claimed that this footage allegedly showed the teenager using "predatory, derogatory" language. There were no further details regarding the latest allegation, including any information on who the relative is.
Jason Sheffield, KJ's defense attorney, declined to comment on the new claim, per Page Six. However, Sheffield previously told the publication that KJ is "innocent" of the allegations recently made against him.

GREEN BAY – The Green Bay Packers are releasing receiver Bo Melton in a roster management move, but he's still expected to play this week's opener against the Minnesota Vikings.
Melton, a fringe receiver but core special teamer, is expected to sign to the team's practice squad. The team plans to add him back to the 53-man roster following Week 1. Melton has four years of credited service so he is not subject to waiver claims by other teams.
The Packers have done similar roster maneuvers in the past, including releasing long snapper Matt Orzech only to later return him. The corresponding move for Melton's spot is not yet known.
Melton has been a fixture on the Packers' roster since 2023. A natural receiver, the team experimented with him as a cornerback last season, but Melton still caught four passes for 107 yards in 2025.
His primary contribution is special teams, where first-year coordinator Cam Achord highlighted his ability as a gunner on punt coverage in camp.

Now that the late Princess Diana's iconic "revenge dress" is heading to auction at Sotheby's, one particular person has their eye on taking it home.
A Friday, September 11, report in journalist Rob Shuter's Naughty But Nice Substack claims the late royal's son Prince Harry is incredibly fond of his mother's iconic ensemble.
"He doesn't want it disappearing into a collector's closet," a source told Shuter, adding that the Duke of Sussex, 41, "believes it should stay connected to Diana" and "belong to" wife Meghan Markle.
Diana — who was just 36 when she died on August 31, 1997, following a car crash in Paris — was known for her incredible fashion sense and became synonymous with the term "revenge dress."
On June 29, 1994, the royal stepped out for a gala held at the Serpentine Gallery in London wearing a black, fitted, chic, off-the-shoulder dress by designer Christina Stambolian that featured an asymmetrical hemline and chiffon train.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard and Ken Urker are facing a new wave of speculation about their relationship and the future of their daughter, Aurora. A viral Instagram post, along with several YouTube videos, alleges that the couple has separated and that Urker may be preparing to pursue full custody of their child. The post also claims that Urker is refusing to communicate with Blanchard directly as tensions escalate behind the scenes. However, neither Blanchard nor Urker has confirmed a breakup or custody dispute. The social media account that circulated the claims also acknowledged that it had not found evidence of an actual custody filing.
The rumors were shared by the Instagram account audacious.audrey06, which posted a photograph of Ken Urker and Gypsy Rose Blanchard separated by a torn-paper effect and a broken heart emoji. "RUMORS ARE SWIRLING ABOUT GYPSY ROSE & KEN URKER," the caption began.
The social media account alleged that Blanchard and Urker had ended their relationship and claimed that Urker may be preparing to seek full custody of Aurora. According to the post, Urker is also allegedly refusing to communicate with Blanchard directly and will only speak to her through a third party.
The account did not identify the source behind the allegations or provide documentation supporting the custody claim, though several YouTube videos have also been posted, claiming the same information.

Malcolm-Jamal Warner's widow has accused the late actor's mother of selling his $1.6 million Los Angeles home despite allegedly intending for the property to go to his wife and daughter.
More than a year after the "Cosby Show" star's sudden death at age 54, his widow, Tenisha Warner, and his mother, Pamela Warner, remain embroiled in an increasingly contentious dispute over his estate.
Now, a piece of the actor's real estate portfolio has emerged at the center of their battle.
According to new legal documents obtained by TMZ, Tenisha claims that her late husband had wanted his California residence to be left to her and their 9-year-old daughter, MacKenzie.
Instead, Tenisha alleges, Pamela sold the property and placed the proceeds into the Warner Family Trust.

It started with yelling about toilets. Steve Ballmer was so serious about turning the Los Angeles Clippers into a serious franchise for the first time in their existence that he wanted to make sure no fan ever waited in a long line to use the bathroom when the team opened its new arena. Ballmer's drive to win eventually led the Clippers to courting Kawhi Leonard in free agency, fresh off leading the Toronto Raptors to a 2019 NBA championship. Leonard wanted to live in Los Angeles, yes, but he also wanted Paul George as his running mate, so the Clippers shipped out a boatload of draft picks and future two-time MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to get him.
Leonard's people also made it known that their client wanted the type of big endorsement deals his off-putting, robotic personality couldn't land legitimately. Leonard's now infamous Uncle Dennis Robertson never tried to be subtle about his desire to secure similar off-court bags to the ones Kawhi's contemporaries like LeBron James, Steph Curry, and Kevin Durant were landing on their own accord, and leaks of his demands circulated as soon as Leonard hit free agency.
The Clippers became so entangled in pleasing Leonard that it led to blatant salary cap circumvention, first reported by investigative journalist Pablo Torre. The NBA found enough evidence supporting Torre's claims that it hammered the Clippers with the most severe penalty in league history, stripping five future first-round draft picks, suspending executives including Ballmer, and more. That figured to be the end of the story, with the Clippers spending the next decade trying to climb out of the abyss. Torre continued to hint that there was another shoe to drop, and now that it's here, the Clippers might be in much bigger trouble than anyone first believed.
The Department of Justice has opened a criminal investigation into the Clippers, according to the New York Times, and it's already issued one subpoena. While the scope of the investigation is unclear for now, the fact that the feds are watching the Clippers for under-the-table dealings potentially makes this a much bigger deal than simply breaking NBA rules.
How does breaking NBA rules amount to a federal crime by the Clippers? While there's a lot left to come out, the main idea is that the Clippers committed some level of fraud. Daktronics was a publicly traded company, the only one of the four tied up in the Leonard scandal to fit that description, while Aspiration, Lockton Insurance, and Boingo Wireless were not. Publicly traded companies have a fiduciary duty to their shareholders to disclose big investments, and it sure feels like that never happened when dealing with Leonard.

Sexyy Red could be facing a $5 million judgment in a lawsuit brought by the grandmother of one of her children, but the money has not been awarded.
Nicole Barnes is asking a judge to enter a default judgment after claiming the rapper failed to respond to the case, according to new court documents obtained by TMZ. Barnes sued ****** yy Red in March 2025 over allegations that the rapper posted her home address online and encouraged followers to attack her.
Barnes says ordinary efforts to serve the lawsuit were unsuccessful and that she later served ****** yy Red through publication in a newspaper. She now argues that the lack of a response entitles her to a default judgment for $5 million.
Sexyy Red is disputing the underlying case. Her attorney Jason Lampert told TMZ that the claims are "baseless and completely without merit" and said the rapper categorically denies the allegations and intends to defend herself. The judge has not yet ruled on Barnes' request.
Barnes filed the lawsuit on March 24, 2025, after an alleged social-media incident the previous December. The complaint alleges that ****** yy Red, whose legal name is Janae Wherry, posted Barnes' Hazelwood, Missouri, address and a photograph of her home on Facebook before encouraging her followers to "kick in the door" and harm her.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's UK return could have a familiar royal figure at its center. An expert claims Princess Diana's legacy may help shape their re-entry into Britain. The timing has also prompted speculation about a possible project marking the 30th anniversary of Diana's death. However, one commentator has questioned the ethics of bringing the late princess into the couple's next chapter.
According to a discussion on "The Royalist" podcast, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry could use Princess Diana's legacy to help reintroduce themselves to the British public. Host Tom Sykes was joined by Samara Gill, who discussed the timing of the couple's return and its possible connection to Diana.
Diana's 30th death anniversary is approaching in 2027. Against that backdrop, there has been speculation that the Sussexes may be working on a possible documentary focusing on the late princess. The project has also apparently been ******* ociated with Netflix. However, no documentary has been officially announced by Harry, Meghan, or the streaming platform.
For Gill, the potential project could serve a wider purpose. She claimed the couple may be looking to reconnect with the British public through Diana's enduring popularity. Gill said they could be "using Diana to relaunch" their return to the UK. She argued that the late princess remains someone "most people — the majority of the public — can get behind." By contrast, she claimed that Harry and Meghan face strong opposition from a large section of the British public.
From a public relations perspective, Gill acknowledged that the strategy could be effective. She described it as a "smart PR move." However, she also questioned the ethics of making Diana part of such a comeback. "Morally, I find it a little interesting, a little sticky and icky," Gill said. She added that the idea of using Diana in this way gave her "a bit of a sick feeling."

A California appeals court has ruled that Jay-Z cannot sue a personal injury attorney for extortion or defamation.
The musician's bid to sue was in response to a lawsuit that accused him of raping a 13-year-old girl.
In 2024, Tony Buzbee accused Jay-Z, known legally as Shawn Carter, of raping a child alongside Sean 'Diddy' Combs decades earlier, then dropped the case just months later.
Jay-Z denied the allegations and fought back, claiming the lawyer had fabricated the claims to extort him.
In a new ruling, California's Second Appellate District has decreed that the rap icon cannot sue Buzbee for extortion or defamation over the salacious accusations, even if they were quickly dismissed.
"The record contains no evidence Buzbee accused Carter of raping Jane Doe while knowing those statements to be false or with reckless disregard as to whether they were true," the appeals court wrote in a decision obtained by Billboard.

Kim Zolciak is facing nearly $150,000 in alleged debts as she deals with ongoing legal issues involving her family. The former Real Housewives of Atlanta star faces two separate lawsuits over unpaid debts. The cases involve money tied to her former business and a credit card account. Both lawsuits remain ongoing.

In a Fox News exclusive interview, Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico came out in favor of banning gender surgery for minors and opposed transgender-identifying men competing in women's sports.
Talarico also backtracked on several of his more controversial claims, including saying there are six genders and that "God is nonbinary."
This comes as the Texas Senate race, which is surprisingly close according to recent Fox News polling, enters its final months. The race is considered critical to both parties' chances of securing a Senate majority. Talarico is facing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a Republican who has faced controversies of his own. A Republican loss in Texas would significantly impact President Donald Trump's ability to implement his agenda.
Fox News spoke with Talarico at a food drive campaign event in Dallas on Tuesday. Talarico's event took place as the first-ever GOP midterm convention kicked off just miles away in downtown Dallas.

There's no stopping Aaron Rodgers on Cam Heyward's "Not Just Football" podcast. The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback opened up about his past relationships, including one with former NASCAR star Danica Patrick.
Rodgers refuted Patrick's account of their breakup and said Patrick had presented a version of their relationship that made him look like a "monster of a partner."
Rodgers said Patrick was struggling emotionally during their relationship, especially after she retired from full-time racing in 2018.
"I dated Danica. She had just retired. She was depressed and not fun to be around," Rodgers said.
He claimed he stayed to support her and be a good partner, even as their relationship began to fall apart. Rodgers claims that the couple eventually reached a point where their relationship had become distant.
