Screenwriters, studios reach tentative deal to end 146-day strike |
A tentative three-year contract agreement announced late Sunday between Hollywood screenwriters and studios must be approved by the Writers Guild of America's board and members before the writers' strike officially ends. |

NFL Week 3 had the Dolphins drop 70 points, Cardinals stun and ... Taylor Swift? |
Week 3 of the 2023 NFL season provided what is the upset of year so far, when the Arizona Cardinals stunned the Dallas Cowboys. This result likely eliminated a lot of people from survivor pools. Elsewhere, the Kansas City Chiefs routed the hapless Chicago Bears in front of a famous fan, Taylor Swift. The Dolphins scored the most points in a game by an NFL team since 1966. The Dolphins are just the fourth team to score 70 or more points in a game (regular season and playoffs). And the Minnesota Vikings remained winless after losing to the Los Angeles Chargers.

As a result, some GOP lawmakers have resigned themselves to the government closing its doors, given how little time is remaining for lawmakers to meet their deadline and the ongoing turmoil that has engulfed the House.

Student loan borrowers face uncertainty as October bills arrive |
A year ago, many student loan borrowers in the U.S. had hope they would owe basically nothing for their education. That would have been the reality if President Joe Biden's plan for far-reaching student loan forgiveness had not been struck down by the Supreme Court in June. But instead it's time to figure out how to pay the bills ahead. Plenty of challenges are ahead for an estimated 40 million federal student loan borrowers as payments resume in October now that the federal student loan payment pause that stretched out roughly three-and-a-half years comes to a halt.

How the Supreme Court could alter the way Americans interact on the internet |
Though the Supreme Court dodged the opportunity in 2021, the justices now have another opportunity to decide whether public officials may block Americans on social media. It's one of several cases pending at the high court with potentially enormous consequences for the way Americans interact on the internet. Legal experts say the Supreme Court term that begins next month could also be the most important in decades in determining the extent of the government's power to regulate the online content. The Supreme Court's opinions could have profound implications for social media and politics − with decisions landing in the middle of next year's election. Read more |
