Megan Rapinoe has never been shy about speaking up for transgender athletes, even as the issue has become one of the most heated debates in sports. And in a recent interview, the United States Women's National Team legend made it clear that her stance hasn't changed.
In a recent podcast, Rapinoe pushed back on the idea that trans women threaten fairness in women's sports, arguing that sports have never been fair in the first place and claiming that fairness shouldn't matter more than people's human rights.
The debate over transgender athletes in women's sports has only intensified over the past couple of years, with Republicans making it a central political issue and many states passing laws that ban trans girls and women from competing in girls' and women's sports.
The issue has spilled into the sports world, too. Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham sparked a nationwide conversation this year when she voiced her opposition to trans women competing in women's sports.
Even some Democrats have distanced themselves from the issue. Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, for example, has said that he opposes trans athletes playing in girls' sports "if it endangers safety or fairness."

Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers bashes Buccaneers' home field for safety concerns appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers were able to leave Raymond James Stadium on Sunday with a 26-19 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, despite securing the comeback win, the Steelers quarterback expressed considerable frustration after the game over the condition of Tampa Bay's home-field surface.
Following the game, Rodgers openly criticized the playing surface at Raymond James Stadium, raising concerns about the potential risks it poses to players' safety.
"It's got to be one of the worst surfaces in the league," Rodgers said. "We're talking about player safety. I'm very thankful to not get hurt. I've gotten hurt twice on this field, in my opinion, because of the turf. I don't think it's very safe out there."

England had just been beaten by Sri Lanka in the second one-day international at Headingley and coach Brendon McCullum was speaking to his players in the dressing room.
"The game is slightly different now," he said. "The ball is playing a massive part."
The difference McCullum referenced is reverse swing - the way an older ball moves in the air in the opposite direction to convention.
The playing conditions in ODIs were changed in July 2025, allowing captains to choose after 34 overs which of the two white **** used at either end they would like to use to complete the rest of the innings.
With the chosen ball now able to get older and scruffier, the result has brought a reverse swing renaissance, something which is already having an impact on the format and poses intriguing possibilities for the future less than 12 months out from the next World Cup.

EPR Properties (NYSE: EPR) is a company focused on properties designed for experiential and educational purposes. One of the benefits of owning its stock has been its dividend, which has increased for four consecutive years.
EPR is a real estate investment trust (REIT), which means it must pay out at least 90% of its taxable net income as dividends to retain that status. That makes it highly likely that payouts will continue. As the dividend has become more generous, it might surprise investors how little it takes to generate more than $1,000 in annual dividends in this stock.

Working with whole shares, 269 shares purchased for $15,182 will generate $1,001 in annual dividends.
This amounts to an annual dividend of $3.72 per share with a yield of about 6.6%. That is far above the S&P 500 average of 1.1%. Moreover, it is one of the few stocks paying monthly dividends, which might make it especially appealing to income investors.

In her latest Instagram montage, pregnant Ciara treats maternity wear as a fashion playground, moving from slouchy streetwear to sheer black lace in under 20 seconds. Throughout the video, Ciara keeps her baby **** p front and center, and the pregnant styling never feels like an afterthought. Some of her looks drape the **** p in oversized layers, while others put it fully on display.
Ciara owns maternity fashion, and she showcases it with confidence on her social media. The clip plays over "Yes (ATL)", Ciara's single with Young Dro. Her caption reads, "Baby, you a Boss not a Wannabe."
The montage opens with a relaxed look. Ciara wears a black sleeveless zip-up vest over loose black shorts with white side stripes, while chunky black boots and dark sunglasses complete the outfit.
Next comes a sleeker option. Ciara, visibly pregnant here, wears a soft grey maxi dress that traces her baby **** p before flaring outwards at the hem. A faded denim jacket rests on her shoulders, and a chunky chain-link necklace adds edge to the outfit. She also wears a pair of sunglasses and cradles her **** p.
A heavily pregnant Ciara then shows that maternity fashion can lean into grunge as easily as glamor. Her third look is tailored and understated. The 40-year-old poses in a stone courtyard, wearing a black **** on-up shirt, a black miniskirt, and dark loafers.

Energy Transfer (NYSE: ET) is one of the largest U.S.-listed master limited partnerships (MLPs) specializing in the ownership of pipelines and other midstream energy ***** ets. Based on current prices, Energy Transfer has a forward distribution yield of 6.64%.
In other words, add up its quarterly cash distributions and divide by the current stock price, and you'll get approximately this figure. Considering this, let's run the numbers and see how many shares of this pipeline stock you'd need to own in order to earn $250 monthly.
Missed AI's "Act 1"? Act 2 Could Be 14x Bigger. Most investors think they missed the AI boat because they didn't buy Nvidia in 2005. But according to our ***** ysts, we're only at the end of "Act 1"—the R&D phase. "Act 2" is the global rollout. Continue »
Considering the complexities of MLPs and taxation, we will focus on a gross dividend income of $250 per month from an Energy Transfer position, for purposes of our calculation. A monthly payout of $250 comes out to $3,000 per year. Energy Transfer pays $1.36 per share in annual distributions.
Divide $3,000 by $1.36, and you get 2,205 shares, worth around $45,136 based on Energy Transfer's current stock price. From this position, you'd generate around $2,998.80 in dividend income annually, or just under $250 per month.

A woman regrets agreeing to a barter collaboration with a property after learning where she would be staying. In the opening of her TikTok video, Tara Lynn (taraswrld) said, "I just found out some crazy sh** about the hotel I'm supposed to be checking into today." She said she would check out of her current hotel and check into the new one the same day, but after the reveal, she has "nowhere to go."
Lynn described her initial reaction to the property representatives contacting her. She said, "They emailed me the other day while I was at Harry about this comp stay. So I, like, briefly looked at their website. Everything looked nice. I signed the contract." However, she noted that a day before she was supposed to check in, she did a deep dive on the property's website and found out she was checking into a hostel with rooms of about 32 square feet and shared bathrooms.
How did Lynn deal with the information? She got in touch with the hostel's staff but, unfortunately, was disappointed. Speaking about how the conversation went, she said, "I emailed the person I was emailing with, and I was like, 'Hi. I didn't realize that this had shared bathrooms. I don't feel comfortable with that due to, like, safety purposes.' I was also like, 'I have three suitcases. Like, I just physically can't fit into a room that's 32 square feet'…They said, no, babe, this is a hostel."
Lynn ended her video by saying she didn't have a hotel for the next three days. She also mentioned that three other influencers were in the city besides her, and they were staying in hotels charging them $1,800 a night. She said she didn't know whether she should be spending that much on her stay.
Some commenters on Lynn's post thought staying at the hostel was a good idea, with some noting it would be a unique experience worth documenting. One person wrote, "Do it for the plot." Another said, "Hostel would make for good content."

The Trump administration is airing campaign-style television ads using money Congress approved for border security upgrades, efforts to combat drug trafficking and memorials for officers killed in the line of duty, according to federal spending records.
Democrats say the ads break multiple federal laws by using taxpayer money for political purposes that Congress never authorized. The White House defends the ads as public service announcements.
One of the spots closely resembles a 30-second video produced by the Trump campaign in 2024. The latest ad features President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth advocating for the Iran war. They feature disclosures saying they are “Paid for by the U.S. Government.”
On Sept. 19, a few days before the ads began airing, the White House Office of Management and Budget added $20 million to a Department of Homeland Security budget line designated for “commemorative events,” according to publicly disclosed OMB data. Congress approved the spending for those events in Trump’s 2025 domestic spending package, known as the One Big Beautiful Bill, and intended it for “Line-of-Duty death memorials, Department or agency anniversaries, and commendation ceremonies,” according to a House budget committee report.
The next day, Sept. 20, DHS awarded a $20 million contract for a “national media campaign” to the LMD Agency, a Maryland-based public relations and media firm that had previously worked for the department. The company did not respond to requests for comment.

Former LSU gymnast and new Baywatch actress Livvy Dunne is making the most of her 24th year on the planet by enjoying a private flight to the Bahamas.
Dunne, who said an emotional goodbye to the sport of gymnastics before turning into a social media influencer and actress, claims she's already "washed up" at just 24 years old. Of course, it's a play on words for Dunne, who shared the post from the beaches in the Bahamas.
The post on Instagram shows off her new digs for the weekend as she kicks off her birthday activities by the pool. Dunne's next likely viral post wouldn't be complete without a few poses with her "24" balloons and cheeky swimsuit.

Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger is backing a startup that thinks AI's next bottleneck is not the accelerator. It is everything waiting for data to arrive.
Delos Data announced on September 15 that it raised more than $100 million to develop networking chips and software for increasingly heterogeneous AI data centers. Playground Global, where Gelsinger is a general partner, joined the round. Reuters reported that Delos is designing the network to work across different types of compute hardware rather than **** uming every accelerator comes from NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA).
That makes Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMD) an important read-through even though AMD is not an investor in Delos.
For illustration purposes only. Photo by Brett Sayles on Pexels
Nvidia does not dominate AI simply because its GPUs are fast. NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) sells a tightly integrated system of accelerators, networking, interconnects and software. That makes large clusters easier to deploy and gives customers fewer reasons to mix architectures.

California Resources Corporation (NYSE:CRC) announced on September 17 that it had agreed to sell its Uinta Basin **** ets, located mostly in Utah and Colorado, to an undisclosed buyer for $90 million in cash. The company had come to own the Uinta **** ets, which span about 100,000 net acres, after it acquired Berry Corp last year. However, CRC considered them non-core to its operations. The net proceeds from the sale will be used for shareholder returns and other corporate purposes.
Francisco Leon, President and CEO of California Resources Corporation, commented:
"Today's transaction strengthens our business. The monetization of our Uinta Basin **** ets sharpens our focus on California and captures additional value from the Berry merger. This transaction enhances our capital allocation flexibility, allowing us to invest in higher-return opportunities within the Golden State and supports our shareholder return strategy. The sale also helps offset the purchase price of our recent midstream transaction."
The transaction is expected to close by year-end, subject to the receipt of certain third-party consents and other customary conditions.
The sale will allow CRC to redeploy the $90 million toward **** ets that are central to its operating strategy while avoiding additional capital commitments to Uinta. The company already stated in its Q2 earnings call that Uinta has higher capital intensity, higher break-evens, lower crude quality, higher transportation and operating costs, and steeper declines. Therefore, the sale removes a portfolio distraction at a time when CRC is concentrating investment in California infrastructure and production.

Cybersecurity provider CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD)'s shares are up by more than 100% year to date. With AI continuing to dominate the market narrative, the firm has found itself at the center of the industry's concerns about cybersecurity. While some, such as Anthropic's Dario Amodei, have claimed that their AI software is sufficient for cybersecurity purposes, others have argued that firms such as CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD) will play a key role in the industry. Cramer is in the latter camp, and in his morning appearance on September 15th, the CNBC TV host discussed the recent discussions about AI being a threat:
"I had George Kurtz last night, who has partnered both with OpenAI and Anthropic. And he encouraged me to say look, they are doing a lot of things about safeguards. I think he was so much surprised, that there was so much doomsaying, of course, doomsaying being heavily refuted. Now there's a stock, remember that stock was up the most of any stock in the S&P."
While Cramer believes CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD) will play an important role in cybersecurity in the AI era, the broader debate about the firm is about its AI-driven cybersecurity initiatives and whether they are sufficient to stay competitive and justify the eye-watering share price performance. On this front, the firm's annual recurring revenue (ARR) grew by 25% and net new ARR grew by 55% in its fiscal second quarter. Additionally, CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD)'s net new ARR set a new record of $333 million. Cramer's bullishness on the firm is also matched by others, such as ******* ysts from Argus. Argus has set a $425 share price target for CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD) and argued that growth in agentic AI use presents a major tailwind for the firm.
Yet, in a classic case of the bigger you are, the harder you fall, CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD)'s massive growth creates risk. For its fiscal second quarter, the firm has guided net new ARR to range between $343 million and $347 million to imply growth ranging between 29% to 31%. Considering that the metric grew by 55% in Q1, the new figures do indicate a slowdown. As for catalysts from agentic AI, CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD)'s next-gen SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) ending ARR grew by 60% to $695 million in the second quarter.
Hedge fund interest in CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD) grew in Q2. According to Insider Monkey's data, 89 out of 1,006 funds had held a stake in the firm during the period. This marked a jump over the 89 out of the 1,022 funds in Q1. As for valuation, CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD)'s forward P/E ratio of 188 is significantly higher than peer firm Palo Alto's 89 which should increase the pressure to maintain growth. Short interest as a percentage of float is 2.41% for CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD) compared to 2.65% for Palo Alto.

Gov. Gavin Newsom on Saturday signed legislation to increase security for the state's voting systems and protect Californians' ability to cast ballots in an effort to guard against potential interference in the Nov. 3 election, including by the Trump administration.
Newsom pointed to the Trump administration's recent effort to restrict mail-in voting through the U.S. Postal Service, which was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court, and the presence of federal monitors at California polls last year as evidence that Trump "will continue his efforts to interfere with the November election."
"Donald Trump won't stop until he can exert dictatorial control over your free vote and disenfranchise millions of people this November. California will stop him at every opportunity," Newsom said in a statement. "We have no bigger task than fighting to protect the right to vote from interference and meddling — the future of democracy is on the line. These bills today build upon the wall California has built to safeguard our electoral process."
The governor signed the package of bills at the ****** anese American National Museum in Little Tokyo, where a year earlier federal agents gathered outside a political rally he was hosting. Then-Border Patrol Sector Chief Gregory Bovino, who had been leading the immigration operations in California, was among those outside the event, joined by agents in helmets, camouflage, masks and holding guns. Newsom described their presence as political intimidation.
One bill Newsom signed Saturday cites efforts to "weaponize law enforcement authority for political purposes," including Republican "Sheriff Chad Bianco's seizure of ballots in Riverside County," and the election monitors sent by the U.S. Justice Department to polling sites in five counties during a 2025 special election on redistricting.

While an Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) stock split in 2026 isn't impossible, I think it's highly unlikely. The company last completed a stock split in 2024, when its share price stood at roughly $1,200. After the 10-for-1 split, the company's stock traded at roughly $120 per share.
Currently, it's trading around $210 per share, which is likely not a high enough pure-dollar level to encourage the company to reorganize its stock structure.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
That said, I still think that Nvidia stands out as a worthwhile long-term investment.
Nvidia and other leading AI stocks have recently seen some downward valuation pressures connected to increased calls for safety guardrails and other regulations around the progression of artificial intelligence (AI) development. These technologies are evolving fast, and there are good reasons to be concerned. On the other hand, I expect that the intensifying focus on the dangers that AI poses will ultimately have a relatively small impact on Nvidia's growth trajectory.

American Tower Corporation (NYSE:AMT) priced $1.6 billion of senior notes on September 9: $500 million at 5.300% due 2031, $500 million at 5.560% due 2033, and $600 million at 5.750% due 2036. Once issued, the three tranches would carry combined annual coupons of $88.8 million, equivalent to a weighted average coupon of 5.55%.
American Tower Corporation (NYSE:AMT) expects approximately $1.580 billion in net proceeds. It intends to use $600 million to repay 1.450% notes due in 2026, with additional proceeds designated for revolving-credit debt and general corporate purposes. The financing exchanges a near-term repayment requirement and some revolving debt for longer fixed-rate obligations.
The investment question is whether greater funding certainty compensates for the higher cash-interest commitment.
American Tower Corporation (NYSE:AMT) would remove a $600 million maturity falling due this year once the planned repayment occurs. That reduces exposure to having to refinance the obligation closer to its deadline, when borrowing conditions could be less favorable.
The new maturities also distribute principal repayments across 2031, 2033 and 2036. For American Tower Corporation (NYSE:AMT), a spread of repayment dates can support financial planning across its communications-site and data-center portfolio. Fixed coupons make the cost of this funding predictable.

MercadoLibre, Inc. (NASDAQ:MELI) priced $1 billion of senior unsecured notes on September 9, 2026, with settlement scheduled for September 14 and maturity on September 14, 2036. As of September 10, the transaction had not settled.
The notes carry a 5.85% coupon, with proceeds intended for general corporate purposes. Once settled, they would require $58.5 million in annual coupon payments on the full principal outstanding, alongside repayment of $1 billion at maturity.
Management retains discretion over deployment. Logistics, payments, credit and commerce represent potential uses within the business, rather than disclosed allocations of this particular offering.
Ten-year funding can better match investments whose benefits emerge over several years. Logistics facilities need time to attract shipment volume, while financial-services products require investment in technology, customer acquisition and risk management before reaching scale.
For MercadoLibre, Inc. (NASDAQ:MELI), that longer horizon could reduce dependence on repeated short-term refinancing. A fixed coupon also makes contractual dollar interest payments more predictable if market borrowing rates rise.

An AI approval in minutes means nothing if you retire before closing. Lenders must re-verify employment within 10 business days of the note date.
Retirement income like Social Security can replace a salary for qualifying purposes, and an SSA award letter alone may be enough to close.
A rate lock protects only the interest rate, so disclose your retirement date early and build the loan file around income that survives closing day.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States has confirmed for the first time that it has deployed weapons in ******* e, a remarkable revelation after previous warnings about countries such as Russia possibly weaponizing a global frontier long agreed in treaties to be used for only peaceful purposes.
Air Force Secretary Troy Meink said Monday that the U.S. has fielded "on-orbit ******* e control weapons capable of defending the Joint Force against hostile adversary action."
Meink did not detail what the weapons were, how they work or if they were targeting other objects in ******* e or on Earth. The U.S. had warned two years ago that Russia was developing a new ******* e-based, anti-satellite weapon, though the White House said the danger wasn't imminent at the time.
But reports of the anti-satellite weapon reflected longstanding worries about ******* e threats from Russia and China, given that much U.S. infrastructure is dependent on satellite communications. The U.S. has also previously demonstrated its own abilities to shoot down satellites from Earth.
In his remarks to the Air and ******* e Forces ******* ociation's Air, ******* e & Cyber Conference, Meink also said the Air Force was adding more autonomous systems to its capabilities and predicted the service would look "radically different" by 2032. For example, he foresaw one-way attack drones replacing artillery as the "primary killer."

Investors expect that PE direct investments and co-investments will overtake traditional fund investing as the largest capital source within five years, according to a survey that exposes the shifting dynamics in LP-GP relations.
Investment bank Houlihan Lokey's LP Compass, its first survey of the combined co-investment and directs market, polled 56 of the market's most active buyers. Some 78% expect combined volumes to set a record in 2026, beating the $215 billion the bank estimates the market reached last year: a record $161 billion in directs and $54 billion in co-investment.

Former US CIA director David Petraeus was at a Ukrainian train station at the very moment a Russian drone struck a passenger train on Sunday, shortly after a diplomatic train carrying former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and other foreign dignitaries had passed through.
Kyiv framed the attack as evidence of the increased threat Russia's Vladimir Putin poses to Europe, with Ukraine's rail operator saying it was "quite likely" a targeted attack.
The diplomatic train carrying Johnson, European security officials and other former leaders from Kyiv to Poland had made an early departure from Yahodyn station –– about two kilometers (1.2 miles) from the Polish border –– due to the "constant threat of Russian strikes," said Ukrainian Railways. It had already crossed into Poland by the time of the attack.
Petraeus was traveling on a separate train which was still at Yahodyn station, a Ukrainian Railways statement said. CNN has reached out to Petraeus for comment.
The rail operator said that while it was still clarifying details, it is "quite likely" that the Russian drone could have deliberately targeted the officials' train.

"I know things are going on, but I can't give specifics of what's happening," Homan said.
"If someone committed an immigration violation, if someone committed marriage fraud or anything like that, regardless if they're a congressman or not, no one's above the law. So, I'll leave it at that. We'll let HSI, Homeland Security Investigations, continue the investigation."
