When President Donald Trump’s name was ordered removed from the Kennedy Center this spring, it seemed that an opening to move on from his reign over the performing arts center might have emerged.
“I have instructed the Department of Commerce to make all necessary arrangements with Congress to allow a full and complete transfer of this Institution, giving them the responsibility for its Operation, Maintenance, and Management,” the president wrote in a late-May Truth Social post, seemingly relinquishing the control he’d seized a year prior.
Speculation even bubbled up among some of the more than a dozen “ex-officio,” board members — who don’t get a vote but are not allied with Trump — over whether the former board chairman, billionaire philanthropist David Rubenstein, could be brought back to help restore the center’s fundraising and programming, two sources familiar with the matter told CNN. (CNN has asked Rubenstein for comment.)
But after Trump said he would remain chairman, “it kind of all squelched pretty quickly,” one of the sources said. The hope that his crusade to rename a monument dedicated to the memory of John F. Kennedy had ended turned out to be wishful thinking.
Instead, nine months from a cold December day when cranes first placed Trump’s name on the marble façade, the institution has been brought to the brink by the president still very much engaged in a fight: lights have been turned off inside, infrastructure is crumbling and protests swirl while legal battles mount.

The ballooning US debt pile is akin to a ticking time bomb for the country, in part because it weakens national security, billionaire Carlyle Group (CG) co-founder David Rubenstein warned.
"We have, as everybody now knows, $40 trillion of debt. Now, historically, if you go back over the last, let's say, 300 or 400 years, whenever a country paid more interest on its debt than it did for its national security, that's a sign of weakness in the country. Right now, we've crossed that threshold," Rubenstein said in a new episode of the Power Players with Brian Sozzi podcast (see video above or listen below).
"We're now paying more in interest every year than we are paying on our national defense, and we're paying a trillion dollars in interest, a little bit more than that now, but we pay about a trillion dollars in national defense," he added. "And as that continues, the interest goes up, and the money available for defense goes down. That tends to weaken your national security."
The numbers surrounding the debt situation are ever more staggering.

Manchester City captain Ruben Dias say Phil Foden needed to be "more controlled and composed" when provoked by Bruno Fernandes in Sunday's Manchester derby.
Foden was sent off for violent conduct after kicking out at Fernandes on the floor after being fouled and kicked himself by the Manchester United skipper.
"In the moment I felt it was a bit harsh because my perception was Bruno kicks Phil and then he has a rushed reaction and maybe kicks him back," Dias said.
"I'm not saying Phil didn't do wrong - obviously he needs to be more controlled and composed in that moment.
"I believe he, more than anyone, is frustrated with what happened. That is why it was my biggest joy to come back in and be able to celebrate for him because I know for sure he was feeling responsible for how much more difficult the game became."

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump has agreed to a significant portion of a stringent ethics proposal that is part of broader cryptocurrency legislation headed for a key vote this week, according to three of the bill's main Republican authors.
The sweeping bill initially had just a provision included that would bar all federally elected officials and their spouses, as well as federal judges, from issuing digital ***** ets.
A core group of Democrats, as well as Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said that didn't go far enough to address conflict-of-interest issues they had with Trump's crypto wealth. Their votes would be needed to advance the bill in a key vote this Tuesday.
Tillis and Sen. Ruben Gallego, D-Ariz., along with several other Democrats, had demanded language that would allow state attorneys general to step in and enforce the law in addition to the Justice Department.
In announcing Trump's agreement, Republican Sens. Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Tim Scott of South Carolina and John Boozman of Arkansas said it includes a "meaningful role" for state attorneys general to play in enforcing the crypto measure should it become law.

Diego Moreira admits he needed a little more time to adapt to Serie A and Milan after scoring twice against Lazio, but Mario Gila confessed their 'first half was honestly disastrous.'
This was a truly chaotic encounter at the Stadio Olimpico, as Lazio had been leading comfortably 2-0 at the break thanks to goals from Matteo Cancellieri and Tijjani Noslin.

The Rossoneri made a triple substitution for the second half, and it paid off, as Diego Moreira scored twice in 120 seconds to level the result.
Christian Pulisic also impressed on his season debut after a microfracture at the World Cup, with his fellow USMNT player Yunus Musah also making an impact.

The Manchester City squad is "buying into the idea" of new manager Enzo Maresca, says new captain Ruben Dias.
City spent a Premier League record £458m during the recent transfer window, with incomings including midfield trio Enzo Fernandez, Elliot Anderson and Ayyoub Bouaddi.
But there weren't only major changes to the playing squad. Maresca replaced the legendary Pep Guardiola, who stepped down at the end of last season after 10 years in charge.
Maresca was previously ******* istant to the Spaniard at Etihad Stadium, before spells at Leicester City and Chelsea.
Dias said Guardiola's departure was not an "easy moment for the club", while Maresca was the "perfect person for the job" as he "knew the house so well".

On Saturday, Lazio will be aiming to preserve their perfect Serie A record when they host fellow undefeated AC Milan.
This will be Gennaro Gattuso's biggest test to date as Biancocelesti manager, as he prepares to host the club he called home for 14 years. The Calabrian will be engaged in a thrilling tactical battle against his opposite number Ruben Amorim, who is enjoying a positive start to his maiden year in Italian football. Nevertheless, the outcome will be determined by the 22 men on the pitch.
Hence, it's time to take a closer look at some of the most interesting duels that are expected to take place all over the pitch when Lazio and Milan lock horns at the Stadio Olimpico.
Among Lazio's seven summer signings, Danilho Doekhi was probably the least exciting arrival, as the fanbase was quick to label him as a depth player rather than a protagonist. Perhaps this will be the case once Josip Sutalo is up and running, but in the meantime, the Dutchman has been solid at the back, forming a good understanding with Oliver Provstgaard.

Marcus Rashford looked set for a permanent move to Barcelona. The outline was there, the numbers were manageable and his loan spell had gone well. Then Barcelona walked away and spent £69m on Anthony Gordon instead. That tells you everything about what they think they need.
Rashford, now 28, had done his part. After leaving Manchester United on loan following his breakdown in relationship with Ruben Amorim, he delivered 14 goals and 14 **** ists in Catalonia. That is solid production by any measure. He also forced his way back into Thomas Tuchel's England plans for the World Cup and capped his season by scoring in the win over Real Madrid that sealed La Liga.
Ordinarily, that would be enough to trigger a £26m purchase option. Barcelona decided otherwise.
The explanation from sporting director Deco was direct and, frankly, sensible. Barcelona were grateful for Rashford's contribution, but they wanted a different profile. In his words for RAC1, "We are extremely grateful to Rashford. He contributed a lot last season, but our idea of play is much more linked to Anthony.

Juventus had won their first two games of the season, but it would be entirely fair to say that they had come close to leaving those matches ruing missed opportunities. Each of them could've been put away long time before they were, and indeed one of the major talking points headed into Sunday's matchup against AC Milan was the fact that the Bianconeri had gotten the results without reaching the level of performance they desired. Milan were in the same boat, winning two straight under new manager Ruben Amorim but not convincing in either. It felt as though the team that managed to perform better would be the likelier to come out of the Allianz on top.
It was ultimately Juve that had the better of a game that was equal parts chaotic and sloppy. But once again they failed to take advantage of their performances. They failed to make the most of the chances they made over the game's first 70 minutes before Milan scored on — stop me if you've heard this one before — their first shot on target of the match. It took until the second minute of stoppage time for Juve to finally even things out, when Federico Gatti powered home a Teun Koopmeiners cross from six yards to earn the Old Lady a 1-1 draw.
The problems for Juventus were the same as we've talked about all season so far. The finishing wasn't nearly good enough, the passing was disjointed and often inaccurate, and overall creativity seemed to be lacking. But in spite of all of that, they can honestly say that they were the better of the two sides and deserved victory — even more so when you consider the fact that Milan's goal really should've been disallowed for a foul in the buildup that was never flagged by VAR. Considering they were missing seven players due to injury, several of whom were extremely important, it's far too early to start abandoning hope of a successful year—provided they make the improvements that their play so far suggest is possible.
Luciano Spalletti was missing Kenan Yildiz, Weston McKennie, Khéphren Thuram, Andrea Cambiaso, Jeff Ekhator, Juan Cabal, and Pape Matar Sarr. His 4-2-3-1 formation gave several players their first starts of the year. Guglielmo Vicario started behind the back four of Pierre Kalulu, Bremer, Jhon Lucumí, and Zeki Celik. Manuel Locatelli and Douglas Luiz started in the middle of the park, while Francisco Conceição joined Nico González and Kerim Alajbegovic behind Randal Kolo Muani in attack.
Amorim missed Matteo Gabbia due to an ankle injury, but returned a few players to the starting lineup who had been eased back into things after long World Cup runs. Mike Maignan started in goal, ahead of a 3-4-2-1 setup that was a slight tweak to Amorim's usual 3-4-3. Former Juve prospect Koni De Winter joined Strahinja Pavolovic and Mario Gila in defense. Big-money signing Diego Moreira got his first start of the season opposite Pervis Estupiñán at the wing-back spots, while Luka Modric and Yunis Musah manned the double pivot. Adrien Rabiot joined Alexis Saele

Sebastian Vettel drove Michael Schumacher's Ferrari F2002 at Monza before the 2026 Italian Grand Prix, but the emotional weight of such a thing became much larger than the driving itself. Following his performance of donuts near the second Variante, Vettel admitted that the moment had made him feel a great deal of longing for his old friend.
Ferrari built the weekend around Schumacher's legacy. It had been 30 years since he joined Ferrari in 1996 with a special Monza livery, racewear details inspired by the seven-time champion, and seven stars representing his ****** les. The showcase featured several of Schumacher's iconic cars, including the 1996 F310, the 2002 F2002, and the 2006 248 F1.
The F2002 was not merely an old Ferrari brought out for a ceremonial lap. Ferrari's 2002 campaign produced 15 victories, 10 pole positions, and 27 podium finishes, while Schumacher secured that year's championship with 144 points. He won five ****** les with Ferrari and took five Italian Grand Prix victories for the team, in 1996, 1998, 2000, 2003, and 2006.
Rubens Barrichello, Schumacher's teammate in 2002, drove the F2002 on Saturday. Vettel took over the tribute on Sunday, reconnecting with the Ferrari team and the tifosi he raced for from 2015 through 2020. During his time with Ferrari, Vettel secured 14 race victories and achieved second place in the championship standings in both 2017 and 2018.
Vettel won his first Formula 1 race at the circuit for Toro Rosso in 2008. The four-time world champion, who concluded his career with a total of 53 wins, also shared the track with Schumacher during his return to Mercedes from 2010 to 2012. Schumacher had been an early hero, then later a friend who encouraged Vettel's career.

Federico Gatti came off the bench and scored an injury-time equaliser as Juventus **** ed a 1-1 draw with AC Milan in Serie A on Sunday.
Both teams arrived at the Allianz Stadium after starting the season with back-to-back wins and remained unbeaten after a hard-fought affair.
The result leaves Roma and Inter Milan as the two teams with 100 percent records after three games, with Lazio attempting to join them when they face Udinese on Monday.
"We didn't deserve to win, and Juve didn't deserve to lose," Milan coach Ruben Amorim told DAZN.
"We lost possession too often and didn't play well, but we've only been working together for two months."

Ruben Amorim admits Milan 'didn't deserve to win, or more like Juventus didn't deserve to lose' after their 1-1 draw in Turin. 'We need to move more and be braver.'
The Rossoneri had struggled to create any genuine scoring opportunities in Turin and thanked first Mike Maignan, then the frame of the goal for keeping out Francisco Conceicao.

Substitute Alphadjo Cisse gave them the lead somewhat against the run of play with a well-taken angled drive through Pierre Kalulu's legs, but in stoppages Federico Gatti nodded in the Teun Koopmeiners cross for the late equaliser.
It means both Milan and Juventus lose their 100 per cent start to the Serie A season, dropping points in this head-to-head.

Once again, Nick Caserio made another under the radar, savvy move to bolder the roster.
Chris Braswell was a five-star recruit out of high school but had to wait his turn behind a star-star-studed Alabama roster. Braswell replaced Will Anderson Jr. at Alabama as the Jack linebacker in their 3-4 front and didn't disappoint. His impressive eight sacks and 10 tackles for loss were second on the team behind Dallas Turner who went 17th overall to the Vikings in 2024.
He was a redshirt junior when he entered the draft after only one year of true production at Alabama. The NFL Stock Exchange podcast had him rated as the fourth and sixth defensive end in the 2024 class. They noted "how raw of a player" he was and that he is built exceptionally well, but lacked a "pass rush plan" and could only rush with power. A 'toolsy" prospect with an Alabama pedigree, NFL stars have been made of much worse material.
Peering back into my own draft ****** ysis from 2o24, I noted that his pass rush ability was "simple" rather than nuanced. It didn't shine off the tape like his counterpart Turner did. I thought he set the edge well, was asked to contain, but wasn't the money-maker on defense. He would go on to be selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the second round.
The limitations mentioned came true. His lack of a plan and limited bag of tricks made him easy to predict in the pass rush. At 6'3", 250 pounds, he's a thick and powerful edge but never earned a start in two seasons with Tampa Bay. A lack of production immediately soured his relationship with the coaching staff. It's not as though the Bucs were great at rushing the passer either, Yaya Diaby led the team with seven sacks. His ineffectiveness lead to the team selecting Ruben Bain in the first round of this year's draft.

Ruben Dias and Erling Haaland have already been confirmed as two of the Manchester City captains for the 2026-27 season. All that was unknown was who would be joining them in City's captaincy group. Enzo Maresca has revealed who will be joining Haaland and Dias in City's captaincy group. On first glance, Maresca has made two obvious and quality choices when naming the other two players who will complete Manchester City's captaincy quartet.
Enzo Maresca faced the media earlier today ahead of Manchester City's upcoming Premier League fixture against Coventry City at the Etihad Stadium. The Manchester City manager was asked what new signing Enzo Fernandez would bring to Maresca's squad and if the Argentinian midfielder would be in Manchester City's captaincy group for the upcoming season. While answering what Fernandez adds to City's squad, Maresca also revealed who Manchester City's four captains would be. He said: "I know Enzo quite well, I know what he can bring. He's a winner, he has a winning mentality, World Cup, Club World Cup. The main thing is that he's a winner." Captain? "No, the captain is Ruben, Erling, Marc Guehi and Gigi Donnarumma."
Ruben Dias and Erling Haaland were obvious choices to be two of Manchester City's captains for this season. They were in City's leadership group last season and were two clear stand-out candidates to return to their posts under Enzo Maresca. The question was who would join them. Gianluigi Donnarumma and Marc Guehi are the players who claimed that ***** le.
Both of Gianluigi Donnarumma and Marc Guehi are quality leaders. Marc Guehi was Crystal Palace's captain before he joined City. Guehi leads by example in a quiet and unassuming manner and his leadership style do combine well with Haaland and Dias. Gianluigi Donnarumma is a pillar at the back for City. He is a vociferous character and he does set the tone in goal. It is often Donnarumma who celebrates his teammates defensive contributions and his is key pillar of this City side.
Gianluigi Donnarumma, Marc Guehi, Erling Haaland, and Ruben Dias will form Manchester City's captaincy group for the 2026-27 season. Each player brings their own strengths to the role and they will be hoping to lead Manchester City to success this season.

In a recent interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Rasmus Højlund discussed, among other things, his time at Manchester United.
When asked about his thoughts on why things didn't work out at Old Trafford, Højlund singled out the arrival of Ruben Amorim after Erik ten Hag's dismissal.
"I don't think anything specific went wrong. I arrived at a club with a manager: it was a difficult year, with many injuries, but we won the FA Cup and I was the top scorer. Then we went through a difficult period and Amorim arrived, an excellent coach but with a different playing style. The team had to adapt, and it was complicated. We all struggled. My first year was a success, the second wasn't. But I played in the Europa League final; if we had won, it would have been a different story. That's football: sometimes it goes well, other times it goes badly, but I'm very happy to have played for the club I dreamed of as a child."
The young Dane moved to Man United ahead of the 2023/24 season from Atalanta on the back of a €79.8m move. In his debut season, he made 43 appearances across all competitions, scoring 16 goals and providing two ****** ists. In his second season, he managed just ten goals and four ****** ists in 52 appearances. Thus followed a season-long loan at Napoli, which was made permanent this summer for €44 million.
The price tag definitely did not help matters for Højlund. While teams often go out of their way to sign players for beyond-reason prices, something United have been particularly wont to do, those price tags do dictate how a player's time at the club is perceived, even when players often hardly play a role in deciding the fee agreed between the negotiating clubs.

Things are moving fast, very fast, too fast at Cremonese. Two defeats in Serie B, sure, but also qualification for the Coppa Italia against Parma this week... that's the record of Marco Giampaolo, who is already out less than two weeks after the restart. One word... why?
New season, same Olympic-level fitness. Luka Modric keeps adding to his legend. The Croatian is carrying on with AC Milan at the age of 40. The curious twist this season is that he is now coached by Ruben Amorim, who was also born in 1985.
A little cheap shot.
- These 20 transfers you probably missed this summer (1/2)
- Serie A: best player, best young player... the winners are known!

Fikayo Tomori is set to be reinstated into the first-team squad at Milan, having failed to agree terms with Fulham.
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the English defender was in London recently with his agents to discuss terms over a move to Fulham, but the West London outfit did not manage to come to an agreement with Milan. There were no conditions to do so, as even the player could never agree personal terms with the London side.
Tomori is now back at Milanello, where he's expected to rejoin Ruben Amorim's squad. The Portuguese coach had made it clear to Tomori throughout pre-season that he could leave, but he's happy to welcome him back into the fray, with the 28-year-old also keen to fight for his place at the club. This was communicated to the defender in a phonecall with the Portuguese just after the Fulham move broke down.
The Chelsea academy graduate was subject to interest from several Premier League sides, with with Newcastle United, Aston Villa, and Nottingham Forest having considered making a move for him before Fulham entered the fray.
That Milan did not manage to sign another centre-back is another key reason for Tomori's quick reintegration into the squad. He's even going to take back his #23 shirt. Matteo Gabbia's recent issues with an ankle discomfort could even see him make the bench against Juventus on Sunday.

It's 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday, and 19-year-old Delsina Desanctes is standing outside the Palazzo de Cinema — the iconic venue where the Venice Film Festival takes place — surrounded by umbrellas, suitcases, sleeping bags and even a tent.
"I'm hoping to see Sydney Sweeney, Kendall Jenner and Jonathan Bailey," says Desanctes, who traveled to Lido from Rome. (None of them are at the fest for movies; they're attending as brand ambassadors for Armani.)

Ruben Hyppolite has been placed on injured reserve by the Chicago Bears after going unclaimed on waivers, according to Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports. Hyppolite was among the players who were waived and released on Sunday during the NFL's roster cutdown period. The Bears waived Hyppolite with an injury designation after getting hurt during training camp.
Hyppolite was a 2025 fourth-round pick out of Maryland and was seen by many draft experts as a reach. He didn't see much playing time as a rookie and when he eventually got on the field, injuries limited him. In seven games, Hyppolite totaled six tackles.
Going into the 2026 season, Hyppolite was competing with players such as Jack Sanborn and rookie Keyshaun Elliott for one of the reserve linebacker roles. He had seven tackles in two preseason games.

Youssouf Fofana (27) is closing in on a return to Ligue 1 football. The former AS Monaco midfielder is set to leave AC Milan to join Lyon on loan with an option to buy, according to Gianluca di Marzio. The 27-year-old has been informed by Milan head coach Ruben Amorim that he was not part of his plans for the season. The Frenchman didn't make Milan's matchday squad for the team's first two Serie A games.
Fofana joined AC Milan from AS Monaco for a €26m transfer fee back in the summer of 2024. He went on to feature 88 times for I Rossoneri. Di Marzio understands that negotiations are now at an advanced stage between Milan and Lyon on the basis of a loan with an option to buy.
Fofana's arrival could mean that Lyon will part ways with one of their defensive-minded midfielders. It could be Tanner Tessmann, who ws reportedly of interest for several Premier League sides.

Olympique Lyonnais forward Malick Fofana (21) has rejected the chance to join newly promoted Premier League side Hull City, as per a report from Foot Mercato.
Following their failure to qualify for the UEFA Champions League last week, Lyon are now in a position where they are forced to sell. Fofana is the most obvious candidate to leave, whilst Ruben Kluivert is also being linked with an exit from the Groupama Stadium.
Fofana was the subject of a bid from Hull City. However, the Belgium international has rejected the chance to join the newly promoted club. OL's forward has his sights set on joining a 'bigger' club, Foot Mercato understands.
There are several other clubs interested in the winger, including Sunderland. He is a potential alternative to Olympique de Marseille's Igor Paixao. Fofana's agents have also offered him to several clubs, including **** nal. The player is expected to leave OL before the transfer deadline on Tuesday.

Crystal Palace are reported to have stepped up talks with Olympique Lyonnais in their bid to sign Ruben Kluivert (25), according to information from L'Équipe.
Still on the lookout for defensive reinforcements following the failure of Club Brugge's Joel Ordóñez (22) to pass his medical, the Eagles' management are said to have made the Dutchman their prime target. Their Lyon counterparts, forced to sell to balance their books, are reportedly open to Kluivert's departure, valuing him at around €20m.
This is a sum that Crystal Palace could soon be willing to offer, whilst another Premier League club, as well as a European club, are said to have already sounded out the 25-year-old's entourage. If an agreement were to be reached, the centre-back would fly to London as early as this weekend.
Signed by Lyon from Casa Pia for €3.78m last summer, Kluivert has had a mixed season, during which he has made 24 appearances in all competitions (two goals, two ***** ists) and suffered several fitness setbacks.

Ruben Amorim continued his 100% start to Serie A life at AC Milan as his side beat Venezia 2-0 on Friday.
The former Manchester United manager guided Milan to victory at Torino in his opening match before seeing off Venezia at the San Siro as his side took an early lead at the summit.
Gonçalo Ramos scored his first goal for the club following his move from Paris Saint-Germain, with Redouane Halhal's late own goal securing the points.
Before the game, Milan paid an emotional tribute to Franco Baresi with a minute's silence following the former defender's recent death.
The hosts dominated from the off and Ramos could have opened the scoring in the 12th minute as a solo run saw him enter the penalty area, but goalkeeper Filip Stanković did well to keep the ball out.

AC Milan return to Serie A for Matchday 2 with their first home game of the season, hosting Venezia on Friday.
The Rossoneri arrive at San Siro on a wave of confidence after a tight 2-1 away win at Torino. Under Rúben Amorim, Milan's attack looked lively and well-drilled, with second-half goals from teenage forward Alphadjo Cissé and Adrien Rabiot deciding the contest. That result follows a strong end to pre-season, capped by a notable 4-2 victory over Manchester United. The squad appears well-balanced and cohesive as they seek tcapitaliseze on home advantage.
The squad remains highly robust, though several adjustments will change their setup.
Midfielder Samuele Ricci has been officially excluded from the squad as he moves closer to a finalised loan to Como. Christian Pulisic has returned to training following a lower-leg issue, but he is expected mainly as an impact substitute off the bench.
Youth prospect Alphadjo Cisse heavily impressed during the opening matchday and is likely to retain his place.

Enzo Maresca wants Phil Foden to exert more influence within the Manchester City squad as he looks for new leaders to emerge following a string of departures.
Foden is still trying to rediscover his best form after two inconsistent campaigns since he was named Premier League player of the season in 2023-24, but City have kept faith in their academy product and the 26-year-old signed a new four-year contract in July.
Having made his debut at the age of 17, Foden is in his 10th season at the club, and is the most decorated player in City's history alongside the now departed John Stones and Bernardo Silva.
Maresca needs to reshape his leadership group following the exits of Silva and Rodri, seeking one or two more players to join Ruben Dias and Erling Haaland in his group of captains.
Earlier this month Foden said he wanted to be part of that leadership group and his manager is keen for him to play a bigger role.

With Nvidia's (NVDA) stock stuck in neutral for the better part of the summer as investors have fretted about peak artificial intelligence growth, the chip darling decided to take one swift measure to silence the naysayers.
The action: serving up a rare long-term outlook that blew everyone on the Street away.
Nvidia said late Wednesday after reporting its fiscal second quarter earnings that it sees 70% revenue growth for fiscal year 2028. This was above ******* yst forecasts for 45% growth. The sales gain would be larger if not for memory chip shortages, said Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang.
"The first ever year ahead guidance is the real news," Stifel ******* yst Ruben Roy wrote in a note. "We think the more revealing point is why they guided at all. Management framed it as getting customers, shareholders and the supply chain onto the same set of information, which in our view makes this as much a supply-chain coordination device as a forecast, and reassure suppliers to commit capacity and customers that BoM inflation was being absorbed too via the fiscal year 2028 ~72-73% gross margin guide (down from mid-70% prior)."
Shares of Nvidia rose nearly 8% in premarket trading on the results and upbeat outlook. Prior to the earnings report, Nvidia shares had slightly underperformed the S&P 500's year-to-date gain of about 14%.

After the first matchday of Serie A, the talking points we've seen are the usual ones: refereeing decisions, the transfer market still being open, the post-match reactions where some vent by criticizing and others take little digs as a strategy.
The routine we waited for all summer, however, mustn't put us on autopilot, because something different happened: young Italians actually played. It seems unbelievable, but it's true: Mattia Liberali, Simone Lontani, Alessandro Romano (Swiss with dual citizenship), Emanuele Lulli, Alphadjo Cisse and Alessio Cacciamani took the field.
Some did so as starters, others came off the bench: for not all of them was it their absolute Serie A debut, but the wider public really discovered them just a few days ago. The comparison with the other top European leagues is still a long way off (to put it kindly), but at least we're trying: "Better something than nothing," as Gianni Brera would have said.
After an excellent pre-season with Milan and Ruben Amorim's imprimatur in a press conference, Alphadjo Cisse (without the accent, as he himself wanted to point out) made his debut at San Siro and scored the first Serie A goal of his career. He handled the ball well in traffic, pressed constantly and, above all, scored at the decisive moment.
During the summer he trained on his own in Montesilvano (Abruzzo) to get back into shape after tearing his adductor tendon, an injury that had cut short an excellent season with Aquilani's Catanzaro. Throughout July, Sassuolo and Torino wanted him on loan, but Amorim chose to keep him and throw him in. He is already repaying that faith.
