Sept 29 (Reuters) - The US Supreme Court on Tuesday let President Donald Trump's administration resume deporting migrants to countries other than their own without offering them the chance to show the harms they may face, bolstering a tool his administration has used for rapid expulsions as part of his immigration crackdown.
The court granted the Justice Department's emergency request to put on hold Boston-based US District Judge Brian Murphy's ruling that the Department of Homeland Security's policy to remove migrants to so-called third countries is unlawful. The court also agreed to hear arguments in the dispute in December, with a formal ruling on the policy to follow.
The court has a 6-3 conservative majority. Its three liberal justices dissented from the decision to let the deportations immediately resume pending the final outcome of the litigation.
Murphy's ruling came in a class-action lawsuit filed by immigrant rights groups on behalf of migrants seeking to prevent the US government from sending them to third countries without notice and a chance to **** ert the harms they could face.

Leave it to Elon Musk to say, essentially, I've been right all along.
The **** eX (SPCX) and Tesla (TSLA) CEO agreed with Anthropic (ANTH.PVT) CEO Dario Amodei on his essay arguing for pacing AI advances.
The crux of Amodei's argument is that AI using recursive self-improvement "could outrun our ability to understand and control these systems, and so must be pursued very carefully, if at all."
In order to prevent future harms, Amodei said frontier AI companies should commit to embedding third-party evaluators in their organizations that can **** s their AI models and confirm the labs' "adherence to safety practices and commitments, report incidents, and help **** s the alignment of not just completed AI models but training pipelines and processes."
Musk replied on X.com, "Dario is right," but also added later that he's been "sounding the alarm" over AI for some time now, linking back to a post he made back in 2023, when he wrote, "AGI is significantly higher risk than nuclear weapons, in my opinion. Super smart humans have trouble imagining something vastly smarter than themselves."

Iran's regime maintains an iron grip on power but still can't ignore the impact of U.S. economic warfare, which is getting even tougher.
That extends even to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, who hasn't been seen in public since the U.S.-Israeli strike on Feb. 28 that killed his father.
In a written statement issued late last month, he banned Iranian officials from "committing anything that harms social cohesion" and urged them to avoid any "discouraging statements that weaken national and public motivation," according to Reuters.
That's as economic hardship and long lines at gas stations have already stirred some fresh protests, though not at the massive scale that was seen in January.
Still, a currency collapse last year and high inflation triggered widespread unrest, and the regime slaughtered thousands in a brutal crackdown. Since then, the rial has plunged to new lows and economic conditions have worsened due to the U.S. war and naval blockade.

Ever since the start of the offseason for the Cleveland Browns, which included minicamp and OTAs, head coach Todd Monken declared the quarterback competition to be a two-horse race between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders.
Watson's inclusion made sense, as the Browns signed him to a five-year, $230 million fully guaranteed deal in 2022 that has been met with far subpar play and injuries, as Watson has only suited up for 19 games as a Brown. The franchise is trying to squeeze something, anything out of the former Pro-Bowler. Sanders, a fifth-round pick in 2025, started the final seven games of his rookie season, posting poor counting and advanced stats, but led Cleveland to a 3-4 record.
The two quarterbacks included in the race make sense. But the exclusion of former Oregon Ducks quarterback Dillon Gabriel, a third-rounder in 2025, was a bit puzzling.
Sure, he'd gone just 1-5 as the starter as a rookie and struggled to push the ball down the field, but he kept the ball out of harms way, throwing seven touchdowns to two interceptions. Considering the draft capital that the Browns had invested in Gabriel, plus only middling quarterback play in a downright bad offensive atmosphere around him, there's a case to be made that the former Duck should've had at least some chance to earn the Browns' starting job.
Yet, he wasn't given any shot, taking reps with Cleveland's third-team all summer.

Shortly after announcing his intention to run for U.S. Senate, then-candidate Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., said he would support reparations legislation — government-led efforts to make up for the social harms of slavery and other injustices against Black Americans.
In a 2019 radio interview, Ossoff said it was only a question of how much the government was obligated to give.
"There is a debt unpaid. I think it is a very, very difficult question: how to pay it," Ossoff told a local radio host.
"But see, that should be the question — not if it should be paid," the host noted.

After releasing linebacker Otis Reese, the New England Patriots headed into the weekend with one open spot on their roster. They filled it on Monday: the team of head coach Mike Vrabel signed defensive tackle Casey Rogers following a successful workout.
Let's ******* what the move means.
Besides filling out their 90-man roster, the Patriots now also have 10 defensive tackles on their roster; the team effectively replaced Otis Reese's roster spot with an interior defensive lineman. However, as a seemingly trivial look at the jersey numbers shows, more change might be afoot:
Interior defensive line (10):Milton Williams (97), Christian Barmore (90), Cory Durden (94), Joshua Farmer (92), Leonard Taylor III (93), Eric Gregory (95), Jeremiah Pharms Jr. (98), Isaiah Iton (62), David Blay Jr. (96), Casey Rogers (96)
At the moment, the team has ******* igned both Rogers and undrafted rookie David Blay Jr. the No. 96 jersey. That might in itself not mean much, but with the latter ominously absent from practice on Monday, it appears another move could very well be on the horizon.

The NCAA is taking aim and fighting back against a U.S. District Court judge's ruling that has temporarily granted a fifth year of eligibility to college student-athletes from the high school class of 2022.
In a letter obtained Saturday, Aug. 1, by USA TODAY Sports, the NCAA outlined its intent to fight against the ruling of Judge Charlotte Sweeney, who presides over the U.S. District Court of Colorado.
REQUIRED READING: Inside high-stakes scramble that brought Protect College Sports Act back from the dead
"The District Court of Colorado's decision (Wisne v. NCAA) is egregiously wrong," NCAA Chief Legal Officer Scott Bearby wrote in a memo Saturday to NCAA membership and directly obtained by USA TODAY Sports. "The court's decision to certify a nationwide class and grant sweeping injunctive relief with virtually no evidence, and without witness testimony or even so much as a hearing, invites further chaos in college sports and irreparably harms thousands of student-athletes already on campus."
Four different college football general managers, speaking Saturday on condition of anonymity due to the uncertain nature of this ruling and the potential impact to rosters, told USA TODAY Sports that they have held informal meetings and begun the process of **** sing potential roster additions from the group of senior football players whose careers ended with the 2025 season and had graduated in 2022.

So, let's get into this week's #PostPulpit Mailbag.
What offensive and defensive positional groups is going to be the most fun to watch battle it out in camp? – mathblaster97
The talent and depth at wide receiver and defensive line will make those groups exciting to watch for me. A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs building their chemistry with Drake Maye while Mack Hollins, Kyle Williams, Kayshon Boutte, DeMario Douglas, and Efton Chism III battle for their roles — as well as their potential futures in New England.

Rihanna has left the internet aflame, posing in a Savage x Fenty lace plunge bra that peeked through the unbuttoned shirt she layered over it. The songstress took to Instagram on July 1 to share a new picture of her in the outfit as part of the brand's summer campaign.
Rihanna once again exhibited her top-notch styling game in her latest Instagram post. She wore the new Daisy Riot Boy Short 2-Piece Set from Savage x Fenty, featuring the Lightly Lined Plunge Bra and the Lace Boy Short Panty. Crafted from delicate yellow lace, the bra featured intricate floral embroidery across the cups and scalloped edges. While the shorts were not fully visible, they featured the same embroidered design and scalloped-edge finish.
Further, the "Diamonds" hitmaker layered it with the yellow-and-white micro-gingham checkered set, consisting of high-waisted shorts and a ******* on-down shirt. She wore the shirt draped completely off one shoulder and slouching around her arms, creating an effortless, relaxed silhouette. Below, she sported matching shorts with the lace panty peeking out from underneath.
Rihanna completed her look with pointed-toe stiletto pumps. Crafted from matching yellow satin fabric, the shoes featured a subtle pink floral brocade pattern. The glamorous, shimmering crystal-embellished ankle straps elevated the heels. Further, she accessorized with small, dangling teardrop charms, which added more sparkle to her look.
The Grammy singer's beauty look leaned into a dreamy, high-fashion aesthetic. Her long, honey-blonde hair fell past her shoulders in voluminous, tousled mermaid waves. Meanwhile, her makeup featured a dramatic, draped pink blush that swept heavily across her cheekbones, up to her temples and eyes. She paired it with a glossy nude lip and subtle eye makeup. She posed against a vibrant blue fabric backdrop. In another photo, she sat inside a large, inflatable blue peacock pool float.

June 23 (Reuters) - Google's YouTube has settled with a minor who claimed the platform caused mental health harms, the plaintiff's lawyers said, ahead of a second California trial over claims the design of social media sites has fueled a youth mental health crisis.
The terms of the settlement of the state court lawsuit were confidential, the lawyers said on Tuesday.
Google spokesperson José Castañeda said in a statement that the lawsuit had been amicably resolved and "our focus remains on building age-appropriate products and parental controls that deliver on that promise."
The lawsuit brought by the plaintiff, known as R.K.C., was selected as the second trial testing claims of individuals who say they were harmed by the design of social media platforms like Meta's Instagram, Snap Inc's Snapchat and ByteDance's TikTok. The trial is slated to go ahead against Meta, Snap and TikTok in July.
