Phoebe Dynevor became internationally famous through Bridgerton, and that sudden success also brought increased attention to her personal life. The British actress has experienced everything from relatively private relationships to a highly publicized romance followed by photographers and tabloids. Over time, however, Dynevor has become increasingly careful about separating her career from her relationships. Her romantic history has included actors and figures outside the entertainment spotlight, but her relationship with Cameron Fuller ultimately became the most significant chapter. After beginning their romance in 2023, the couple became engaged and later married.
Before Bridgerton transformed her public profile, Dynevor was linked to several men, including British actor Sean Teale and executive Simon Merrill. These relationships attracted comparatively limited attention, partly because they occurred before she became internationally recognizable as Daphne Bridgerton. The success of the Netflix period drama dramatically changed the amount of interest surrounding her life away from the screen.
That became especially clear in 2021, when Dynevor dated American comedian Pete Davidson. Their relationship generated intense media attention as the pair were photographed together and followed by celebrity publications. Dynevor later reflected on the experience of suddenly having strangers interested in something she considered an ordinary part of being a young woman. The relationship ended after several months, with their demanding schedules and distance widely reported as challenges.
A quieter chapter began when Dynevor was linked to actor and producer Cameron Fuller in 2023. The pair initially kept much of their relationship away from public attention, although they gradually began appearing together at events. Fuller comes from an entertainment industry family and has worked both in front of and behind the camera.
Their relationship reached another milestone in 2024. Dynevor attended the Met Gala wearing a pale pink Victoria Beckham gown and revealed a diamond ring on her left hand, bringing widespread attention to their engagement. Fuller and Dynevor largely continued their low key approach afterward rather than turning their wedding preparations into a constant public storyline.

Ex-Prince Andrew is reportedly fully "convinced" that he will emerge victorious in his legal case against the police. Multiple publications reported that the disgraced former Duke of York would be pursuing legal action against the Thames Valley Police over his headline-making February arrest. Notably, Andrew has demanded a judicial review of whether the circumstances of his arrest were lawful.
Ex-Prince Andrew is reportedly positive that he will win his legal case against the Thames Valley Police. For those unversed, the search warrants were issued in February over suspicions of misconduct in public office and allegations concerning his ties to convicted **** offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Now, eight months after the incident, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has reportedly pursued legal action against police who arrested him and searched his homes earlier this year. A private hearing regarding the case is scheduled for Thursday, October 8. Ahead of the hearing, the disgraced royal is "utterly convinced" he will win the legal battle (via The Sun).
A source alleged that the former Duke of York feels "upbeat" and "buoyant". Also, he is sure of the fact he will be "completely exonerated" one day. The insider added that Andrew views the judicial review as the "first step" towards clearing the allegations and restoring his reputation.
Notably, Andrew's older brother, King Charles, stripped his brother of royal **** les. The king also banished him from royal accommodation. The disgraced prince disappeared from royal life and stopped making official public appearances.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could use a recent security scare near their children's school to support their case for taxpayer-funded protection in the UK, royal author Ingrid Seward claimed. The Sussexes returned to Britain in August and are still waiting for a decision on whether they will receive publicly funded security while they are in the country.
Seward suggested Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may point to the incident when making their case for greater security. Speaking to The Sun's Royal Exclusive, Seward said she believed the couple could use the situation to their advantage. "I do feel certain that they (the Sussexes) probably will use this to try and benefit themselves in some kind of way," she said.
Harry has repeatedly raised concerns about his family's security while in the UK. Seward suggested that his security team would likely have stayed near the school because Harry uses a high level of protection when travelling with his family.
Harry and Meghan are currently waiting to learn whether they will receive taxpayer-funded security while living in the UK. Their security arrangements have remained a major issue since Harry stepped back as a working member of the Royal Family and moved to the US. The Duke has previously challenged decisions surrounding his security protection in Britain.
GB News royal correspondent Cameron Walker also discussed the incident and the security concerns involving Archie and Lilibet. Walker said British publications would generally avoid publishing unauthorized photos of the children. However, he noted that some European outlets could take a different approach.

Celine Dion stunned fans during her Paris concert in a dazzling Tom Ford gown that brought serious drama to the stage. The singer's shimmering blue dress featured a dramatically high slit that revealed one leg while giving the glamorous look a daring edge. The floor-length gown sparkled under the stage lights, with tiny embellishments scattered across the rich blue fabric. Meanwhile, its long sleeves and structured shoulders added sophistication to the otherwise sultry silhouette.
The Celine Dion dress's high-slit detail became the focal point of the look. The dramatic opening climbed high along one side of the gown, creating plenty of movement as Dion performed.
She kept the rest of her styling sleek. Dion wore her blonde hair pulled back, allowing the statement gown to take center stage. Her polished makeup also complemented the glittering design without distracting from it.
According to the outfit details shared by "Check The Tag," Dion wore a Tom Ford by Haider Ackermann while performing at Paris La Défense Arena. Annie Horth and Patrick Vimbör styled the look.
The Tom Ford creation also joined an impressive lineup of designer looks from Dion's Paris residency. Fashion publications have highlighted her custom Dior, Schiaparelli, Alaïa, and Givenchy ensembles alongside the Tom Ford design.

Investors continue to ask for more timely information, even as the volume available to them expands. A 2026 CFA Institute survey of 2,500 **** ysts and portfolio managers found that 62% opposed replacing quarterly reporting with semiannual reporting. Nearly 85% expressed concern about comparability if companies and investment managers could determine their own reporting frequency and format. Access remains important, while interpretation requires a separate discipline.
The demand also concerns the quality of disclosure. PwC's 2025 Global Investor Survey, covering 1,074 investment professionals across 26 countries and territories, found that only 37% believed companies disclosed enough about artificial intelligence strategies and policies. Respondents wanted greater transparency around innovation strategies, AI investment, and expected returns. These findings suggest that investors can face abundant commentary while still lacking the evidence needed to **** s a thesis.
Commercial incentives add another layer. A 2025 CFA Institute report examined continuation funds, in which a manager can oversee both the vehicle selling an **** et and the vehicle buying it. The report recognized the structure's liquidity role and identified conflicts requiring fair processes and governance. The example illustrates why informed **** ysis and aligned incentives are separate considerations.
That distinction applies beyond any single investment structure. Managers often possess valuable operational knowledge because they work directly with **** ets, tenants and financing markets. They may also be raising capital for the strategies they discuss. Their commercial interest becomes additional context for investors weighing forecasts, market narratives and recommendations alongside independently produced evidence. That context can help an investment committee separate a source's knowledge of the market from the confidence it should place in the source's preferred outcome during capital allocation.
Geoffrey Dohrmann, chairman, CEO and editor-in-chief of Institutional Real Estate, Inc., has watched those narratives develop across several market cycles. IREI is a media and market intelligence company covering institutional real estate and infrastructure through publications, research, data, events and consulting. Dohrmann explains its editorial role as independently recording where real-asset capital is moving and examining the explanations offered for those decisions.

More than a dozen states have begun distributing millions of free eggs across local food banks following a settlement with three major producers over alleged collusion, but legal experts say this "unusual" remedy faces a logistical hurdle of making sure those eggs reach the American people.
"There are huge administrative problems with making sure that a settlement of this nature goes according to plan," Katherine Speegle, an antitrust lawyer and partner at Duane Morris, told Fortune.
In June, the U.S. Justice Department and 17 states settled a lawsuit alleging three major egg producers—Cal-Maine Foods, Versova, and Hickman's Egg Ranch—illegally colluded to inflate the price of eggs, which reached record heights last year. The complaint claimed the companies coordinated on bids submitted to Urner Barry Publications, which runs an index key that reports prices for grocery stores and restaurants.
Soaring egg prices became a key metric for how American consumers have experienced five years of above-trend inflation — with this case raising the prospect of collusive behavior on the egg front. None of the producers admitted to wrongdoing and maintained they acted legally.
"When powerful corporations collude behind the scenes to raise prices, working families suffer the costs," New York Attorney General Letitia James, who helped lead the investigation, said in a statement at the time. "These egg producers manipulated the market to squeeze even more profit out of consumers and businesses."

Over the past few days, several national college football publications and websites have released power ranking lists for all 138 FBS college football teams following Week 0 and Week 1 of the 2026 college football season. None of these sites have been particularly kind to Rutgers following their season-opening 37-21 loss to UMass, with almost all of them dropping the Scarlet Knights by double-digit rankings. The most brutal of these sites was The Athletic, which dropped Rutgers 57 spots from 79 to 136.
First off, the ******* le of the article is "Re-ranking 138 college football teams after Week 1: LSU starts on top, Rutgers hits a new low"- not a fun start by any means. The rest of the parts of the article that mention Rutgers aren't much better.
"The most shocking win was, of course, UMass' 37-21 victory at Rutgers, ending a 16-game losing streak and 23-game Football Bowl Subdivision losing streak. For that, the Minutemen rise to No. 100. It's the first time since early in the 2025 season that UMass is not ranked last, and it's the first time in 10 years of these rankings that UMass is inside the top 100. The Minutemen's previous high was No. 102 late in the 2018 season. Congrats to UMass," said Athletic writer Chris Vannini in the article.
"Rutgers falls all the way to No. 136 for that blowout loss to UMass, which wasn't as close as the 16-point final margin would indicate. This is the new lowest position for a Power 4 team in 10 years of these rankings," said Athletic writer Chris Vannini in the article.
While Rutgers' performance against UMass is inexcusable and has put the Knights in the same ranking bracket as teams like Bowling Green, Northern Illinois, Utah State and Charlotte in the eyes of the Athletic. While Rutgers' loss to UMass is an incredibly tough pill to swallow, being rated in the bottom three teams in the country still seems a little low. Even a terrible Big Ten team should be able to stay out of there.

The Seattle Seahawks begin their 2026 season versus the New England Patriots on Wednesday. That doesn't mean some publications aren't already looking towards the 2027 NFL draft. With a new college football campaign officially underway, mock drafts have been populating news feeds.
NFL Draft On SI: A Sports Illustrated Channel was among the outlets that released new first-round mock drafts. Using power rankings to determine the draft order, they have the Seahawks picking at No. 31 overall. The pick? Clemson defensive end Will Heldt.
"Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider likes to keep four, five pass rushers in rotation," NFL Draft On SI wrote. "With DeMarcus Lawrence and Dante Fowler Jr. being aging veterans, adding another young rusher to the fold would fit the Seahawks' approach. Clemson's Will Heldt transferred to the program last season from Purdue and led the Tigers in tackles for loss (15.5) and sacks (7.5)."
Heldt placed third among returning Power Four edge defenders with an 84.4 PFF overall grade last season, according to Pro Football Focus. His 87.8 PFF pass-rush grade on true pass sets ranked 14th in the Power Four. He's been a dominant rusher for the Tigers.
Heldt feels like a prospect who will be on the Seahawks' radar.

Manchester United are interested in signing the Barcelona defender, Alejandro Balde.
According to a report from Spanish publications SPORT, AS, and Mundo Deportivo (h/t SportWitness), Manchester United are interested in the 22-year-old defender, and his agent met the player on Friday to discuss his future.
Manchester United need more depth in the defensive unit, and the Spaniard could be a quality long-term acquisition for them. He might not be a guaranteed starter for Barcelona, and it would be ideal for him to move on.
Manchester United are pushing to get the deal done, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal across the line. Jorge Mendes has already informed the player of the Premier League club's interest.
He could be the ideal long-term alternative for Luke Shaw. He has the technical attributes to compete in the Premier League, and he could be a key player for Manchester United.

It's shaping up to be an expensive week for Prince Harry.
Just as the duke, ****** ss Meghan and their children prepare to move from California back to Britain, a judge has ordered Harry, Elton John and a handful of other claimants to pay almost $ 13 million to ****** ociated Newspapers Limited, publisher of the Daily Mail, MailOnline and the Mail on Sunday.
An initial payment of $13 million (£9,544,355) toward ANL's legal costs must be made by 4 p.m. on Aug. 28, the judge ruled on Friday. This is just the first round of legal costs. The final figure will be determined at a later hearing.
The judge has not enforced a cap on the total costs Harry and the other claimants may face.
The group of seven lost their lawsuit against the publisher last month after alleging that the publications unlawfully gathered information for their reporting. Supposed privacy breaches include voicemail interception, phone hacking and obtaining personal information through deception.

Prince Harry and his fellow claimants must make an interim payment of $13 million after losing their legal case against the publishers of the Daily Mail

It's fair to wonder if the Chicago Bears can really have another top offensive line until we see how the new center and left tackle gel with the three returning starters. But that's not stopping some publications from picking them as a top ten unit heading into the 2026 season.
Sharp Football ******* ysis has them ranked sixth, and FTN Fantasy ranks them sixth as well, saying, "If Chicago can get average play at left tackle and center, they can become a top three offensive line again. If not, this unit may need even more magic from Caleb Williams."
Pro Fooball Network has them ranked second, ESPN projects the Bears as the third-best offensive line, while Fantasy Pros has them fifth, saying, "While the left tackle spot could be an open competition between three players, Darnell Wright at right tackle and Thuney at left guard make this offensive line a top-five unit."
Head coach Ben Johnson seems locked in with Garrett Bradbury as his starting center, but when asked on Thursday morning if the play of Braxton Jones, who has taken the bulk of the left tackle reps, has hm ready to name a starter, he said this.
"We we're hoping maybe middle of next week we'll have a lot of clarity there. We're going to continue to roll guys through. You know, Kiran's [Amegadjie] certainly taking some reps over there, Jedric [Wills Jr.], Theo's [Benedet] in the mix. This is not a done deal by any stretch of the imagination."

You know, Kiran's [Amegadjie] certainly taking some reps over there, Jedric [Wills Jr.], Theo's [Benedet] in the mix. This is not a done deal by any stretch of the imagination."

Charles Leclerc and his wife, Alexandra Leclerc, spent another day aboard a yacht off the coast of Sardinia, Italy, as conflicting reports continued about whether they are expecting their first child.
The Formula 1 driver and Alexandra were photographed on Sunday, August 2nd. The outing came shortly after the Hungarian Grand Prix.
Photographs published by Just Jared showed Charles and Alexandra swimming, sunbathing and returning to the yacht after spending time in the water.
Several publications have described Alexandra as pregnant or referred to her recent outfits as maternity fashion. Neither she nor Charles has publicly announced a pregnancy.
Charles wore Frescobol Carioca swim shorts, while Alexandra selected a bikini for the outing. Other images showed them using the yacht's outdoor shower and relaxing together on deck. The August 2nd outing followed an earlier day at sea with the couple's dachshund, Leo.

New BYU linebacker Cade Uluave thought it sounded too good to be true.
Take a few hours off from offseason football conditioning and play golf with his teammates, coaches and media members?
"Count me in," said the transfer from Cal, who earlier this month was selected to the Preseason All-Big 12 Team and named All-America Fourth Team by both Athlon Sports and Phil Steele Publications.
Uluave, safety Raider Damuni and offensive linemen Andrew Gentry and Sonny Makasini were among the players who participated in the annual BYU Football Media Golf Classic on Thursday at Timpanogos Golf Club in Provo, along with coaches Kalani Sitake, Fesi Sitake, Demario Warren, Lewis Walker, Logan Lutui and Jack Damuni.
"I think everybody loves it. It is a chance for all of us to be a little bit more vulnerable, get to know each other a bit better. I always look forward to it."

Nano Dimension Ltd. (NASDAQ:NNDM) is one of the 10 Fastest Growing Tech Penny Stocks to Buy.
On June 16, 2026, Nano Dimension Ltd. (NASDAQ:NNDM) and Infinite Epigenetics issued a shareholder update on the proposed business combination announced on June 15.

Nano said it selected Infinite from approximately 20 opportunities it evaluated and framed the transaction as a shift from 3D printing to AI-powered preventive health and diagnostics.
Nano said the term sheet with Infinite followed a months-long review process with support from financial and legal advisors, as well as consultants ****** sing Infinite's technology, target markets, and operations. The company said the proposed combination values Nano at net cash plus a 20% premium, preserves the value of Nano's Nasdaq listing, allows holders to retain contingent value rights on Nano's legacy ****** ets, and adds equity upside.

The cause of death of an American woman found dead in a scenic Irish town earlier this week has been revealed, according to a report.
Jamey Carney, 43, a New York native who moved to Ireland in 2021, died from suffocation after suffering head injuries, according to a report by The Irish Times, which cited the Irish state pathologist Dr. Linda Mulligan.
Initial reports suggested she had been beaten to death, but the newspaper reported the post-mortem found that suffocation — not her head injuries — caused her death. Police are investigating her death as a murder.

Deciding between buying Rivian (NASDAQ: RIVN) or Lucid (NASDAQ: LCID) stock is a little tricky right now. Both companies sell fantastic electric vehicles that have earned high praise from automotive publications and expert reviewers.
But the EV market is difficult, and selling good products isn't enough to ensure a company is worth investing in.

Here's what's happening with Rivian and Lucid, why Rivian stock is the better one to own, and why investors will have to be patient to see the company's potential success.
Lucid has been a paradox for a while. On the one hand, the company is making significant improvements, including year-over-year production rising 55% in 2025 and revenue rising 68% to nearly $1.4 billion.

Last week, Phil Mickelson’s transition from golf’s golden boy to disgraced and disgruntled former legend seemed to reach its natural conclusion. Reporter Alan Shipnuck, author of the definitive, unauthorized biography of Mickelson, published a detailed story for the golf publication Skratch outlining Mickelson’s history of transgressions, including alleged ******* ual harassment that got him kicked out of a private golf club earlier this year, and infidelity towards his wife, Amy Mickelson.
Now, Phil Mickelson, through a spokesperson, is fighting back against Shipnuck’s report, calling it a “drive-by shooting heavy on implication but unsupported by any on-the-record sources.”
In a more than 700-word statement obtained by David Rumsey in Front Office Sports, Mickelson’s spokesperson attacks Shipnuck directly, claiming the reporter used details provided by anonymous sources to imply certain things about Mickelson without ever firmly reporting the implications as fact.
“[The report] relies on implication and anonymous sourcing to leave readers with an impression the reporting itself never establishes,” the statement read. “The article never says Phil Mickelson was kicked out of a golf club because it can’t. Instead, it is written to leave readers with that impression without ever having to report it as fact.”
Of course, such narrow framing in a piece of this nature is normal. Publications are reluctant to report details as fact unless there is indisputable evidence to support it. For a piece like Shipnuck’s, which relies on conversations with sources close to Mickelson, the reporter cannot always verify without a shadow of a doubt if something is true. Instead, it’s the reporters job to use his/her editorial judgment, corroborate with multiple sources, and present the most accurate version of the story based on the information available.

D1Baseball included Florida right-hander Aidan King and shortstop Brendan Lawson on its All-America Second Team Thursday. Lawson made it as a designated hitter.
Despite King being left off the College Baseball Foundation's list earlier this week, he is a unanimous All-American after being named one by the five major publications: The American Baseball Coaches ***** ociation, Baseball America, D1Baseball, the National Collegiate Baseball Writers ***** ociation and Perfect Game.
King became the first Florida underclassman to win SEC Pitcher of the Year and fourth in conference history, after finishing the 2026 season with eight wins, a 3.21 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP over 97 innings. Opposing batters hit just .218 against him. King struck out 92 batters and walked 19, giving him a 4.84 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He also had eight quality starts, including six in SEC play.
It's Lawson's second All-America nod, after being recognized as a Second-Tearmer by Baseball America. Lawson's 1.210 OPS, .511 on-base percentage and .699 slugging percentage led the team, as did his 32 extra-base hits, 19 home runs, 68 runs, 130 total bases and 53 walks.
Caden McDonald is the Gator left off this list. McDonald received a First Team nod from the CBF earlier in the week and made the Baseball America, NCBWA and Perfect Game Second Teams. The trio earned 11 total All-America honors.

Jun. 25—Gonzaga has now gone two years without a Sweet 16 appearance or NBA draft pick — droughts that probably felt inconceivable during a nine-year run when Mark Few's program didn't miss the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament and churned out 12 total NBA selections.
The Zags hope to break both dry spells next year and NBA **** ysts forecasting next year's draft class already think GU is in a strong position to have at least one selection — if not multiple — when the draft comes back around next June.
Gonzaga's Davis Fogle and Massamba Diop both appeared in way-too-early mock drafts published by national media outlets hours after Wednesday's 2026 NBA Draft concluded at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Fogle's name appeared most frequently, with multiple publications projecting the sophomore wing as either a first- or second-round pick in 2027. In Bleacher Report's way-too-early mock draft, author Jonathan Wasserman projects Fogle to be picked No. 28 overall by the Oklahoma City Thunder. CBS Sports didn't include Fogle in its first-round projections, but writer Adam Finkelstein highlighted Fogle as one of the returning college players "expected to make a jump" in 2026-27.
"Essentially, these would be players who weren't viewed as first-round candidates this year, but could be on the verge of a breakout season," Finkelstein wrote. "These are harder to forecast, but some of the players I'll be watching most closely include Duke's Dame Sarr, USC's Alijah Arenas, NC State's Paul McNeil, Texas' Matas Vokietaitis, Miami's Shelton Henderson, Arizona's Ivan Kharchenkov, and Gonzaga's Davis Fogle."

Some of the college football preview magazines have hit the shelves, and one of the ones I like to leaf through -- and have for years -- is Lindy's Sports College Football preview. The annual magazine has been around for years, and you can pick up the 2026 edition on newsstands now. Yes, the physical magazines still exist, and it's good reading material to keep on your coffee table or other places people like to pick up things to read (you know where I'm going).
Ohio State lost a lot of talent to the NFL last year, and we've been making the rounds on some of the national media's perception of the Buckeyes heading into the fall, so why not check in with where Lindy's has the Buckeyes in its preseason rankings?
While some of the national publications and websites have OSU as the preseason No. 1 team, Lindy's is a little more conservative, with the Buckeyes landing at No. 3 behind Oregon (1) and Texas (2). Lindy's believes Ohio State will make another run towards a College Football Playoff and potential national championship again, but there are questions.
"The Buckeyes started 12-0 and spent all season at No. 1 but somehow are amid a two-game losing streak. So Ryan Day's team has that angry edge again that has served them well," writes Lindy's. "Heisman-capable talents Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith are the most compelling pitch-and-catch duo in college football, and after 87 connections last year when Sayin was throwing as a mere redshirt freshman, their numbers will soar as they create a weekly highlight reel ... "Replicating the impact of three first-round picks on defense could be a problem for coordinator Matt Patricia unless Power 4 transfers James Smith, Qua Russaw, Terry Moore, and Earl Little Jr. pan out in a big way."
It's hard to argue with what Lindy's is throwing out there, but it's also extremely hard to peer into a crystal ball these days with so many unknowns with roster turnover and inequitable schedules in conferences that have ballooned over the last few years.

Back in 2015, Frank Moore held a team off-site meeting where members of his staff at the Southern California Golf ***** ociation were asked to draw a picture of their ideal workday.
One of those staffers, Julia Pine, a Bay Area native, drew herself at U.S. Open Final Qualifying site, sketching TV trucks and reporters that she ***** isted at "Golf's Longest Day."
"We talked about it and she said she loved the energy of the day, the human-interest stories that she helped uncover for Golf Channel and other national golf publications," recalled Moore, the longtime communications and marketing director for the SCGA. "It's no surprise that she looked to the USGA for her next opportunity."
Indeed, just a few years later, Pine manifested her dream day into her full-time job, including overseeing the communications strategy for U.S. Open Final Qualifying, not to mention the U.S. Open and U.S. Women's Open, among the 15 championships the ***** ociation oversees. In October, she was promoted to the USGA's senior director of communications and content, adding responsibilities for the brand side, including handicapping and Green Section. She'll attend upwards of six championships in person, highlighted by a three-week stretch in June that will take her from coast to coast: the U.S. Women's Open and Curtis Cup in Los Angeles and the U.S. Open on Long Island.
Pine cut her teeth at the SCGA but she has Northern California roots so we count her as one of our own. She moved from New York to Berkeley when she was 10, which was a return to the Bay Area for her father who had grown up in San Francisco. She still speaks fondly of attending the Athenian School, a non-traditional high school in Danville, that helped shape her world view while shepherding a dream of being an ESPN SportsCenter anchor. Golf wasn't yet part of the picture, and her dream evolved from in front of the camera to something more behind the scenes at Loyola Marymount University, where she became the sports editor by the second half of her sophomore year and majored in English with minors in Journalism and Ethical Studies. She served as beat writer for the men's basketball team and treated the school paper as if it was a full-time job. However, when she graduated, journalism jobs were sparse and so she decided to cast a wider net after asking herself a critical question: Is it journalism or sports that she wanted to pursue?

SEATTLE (AP) — A group of Democratic senators and one Republican, as well as two Democratic House committees, sent letters Monday to the National Science Foundation asking it to reverse course on its plan to dismantle a sprawling ocean monitoring network, with House lawmakers going further and accusing the agency of acting illegally.
The Ocean Observatories Initiative is a network of more than 900 ocean sensors built at a cost of $386 million. Over the last decade it has tracked ocean circulation, marine ecosystems, climate change and extreme weather, producing data freely available to the public and informing more than 500 scientific publications. The project was slated to run another 15 to 20 years.
The National Science Foundation had directed the removal of most of the system's instruments from waters off Oregon, Washington, Alaska, North Carolina and Greenland by 2027 — a decision scientists said came with no warning and no scientific review. The independent federal agency, which was established by Congress, described the move not as a cancellation but as a "descoping" aligned with a strategy to prioritize "evolving scientific priorities and emerging technologies." The Trump administration's proposed 2026 budget had included a 55% cut to the agency.
"It just seems like this is supreme stupidity and a violation of the fundamental distribution of powers in our Constitution," Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon told The ****** ociated Press. "This program is authorized, it's funded, and for the administration to shut it down without direction from Congress violates that vision in which the people's representatives decide what's done and funded, and the executive branch executes that vision."
Merkley and Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska co-led the letter, which was also signed by Democratic Sens. Edward Markey and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell of Washington, Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, Chris Van Hollen of Maryland and Ron Wyden of Oregon. It urged the National Science Foundation, or NSF, to halt the dismantling of the Ocean Observatories Initiative and conduct a thorough review, including consultation with the marine science community, before any further action is taken.

Merkley and Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska co-led the letter, which was also signed by Democratic Sens. Edward Markey and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell of Washington, Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, Chris Van Hollen of Maryland and Ron Wyden of Oregon. It urged the National Science Foundation, or NSF, to halt the dismantling of the Ocean Observatories Initiative and conduct a thorough review, including consultation with the marine science community, before any further action is taken.
