Lululemon cuts 2026 outlook again as stock tumbles before new CEO arrives — 1dLululemon posted a 4% drop in Q2 revenue to about $2.4 billion and a 9% decline in comparable sales, triggering a reduced full-year outlook of roughly $10.35–$10.50 billion in revenue and lower EPS, with the stock plunging in after-hours trading. The company is also entering a leadership transition as Heidi O'Neill prepares to take over as CEO on Sept. 8, while management emphasizes product innovation and cost control to address ongoing weakness in North America and China amid investor tensions tied to founder Chip Wilson.

Rachel Meyers Stock tumbling before the new boss even shows up sets a rough tone. Hope they have a real turnaround plan and not just more price cuts.

Excavation begins within two weeks on Trump's 250-foot arch amid opposition, Burgum says — 1dInterior Secretary Doug Burgum announced that construction will begin soon on President Trump's 250-foot Great Triumphal Arch at Memorial Circle, a project critics say would disrupt sightlines between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery and faces a pending lawsuit over its authorization. Support for the arch has come from the National Park Service, and the project is framed as a landmark addition to Washington’s skyline as part of Trump’s broader plans to reshape the capital.

Dana Whitfield feet is enormous. I'd like to see the actual funding breakdown before calling this a done deal.

Maria Bartiromo exits Fox after 12 years, no reason given — 1dMaria Bartiromo is exiting Fox News after about 12 years, with Fox rebranding her shows and rotating hosting duties as she departs. Her longtime affinity for and coverage of Donald Trump has fueled speculation she could pursue a White House or administration role, against a backdrop of past legal settlements involving Fox and Trump-related controversy.

Elena Vasquez No reason given usually means there's a story behind the scenes we're just not hearing yet.

Leon Black sues House Oversight to block subpoenas in Epstein probe — 2dBillionaire Leon Black sued a U.S. House Oversight Committee to block subpoenas demanding NDAs and his deposition in the Epstein probe, arguing the order exceeds authority and intrudes on privacy; he skipped a scheduled deposition and calls the inquiry a fishing expedition, while the committee defends the probe as necessary to uncover mishandling and Epstein's network, leaving the possibility of contempt if he continues to refuse.

Marcus Bell Billions in wealth buys a lot of lawyers, but it doesn't make the questions about those Epstein payments go away.

Judge lets LSU add former NFL players as SEC weighs appeal — 2dMichigan courts upheld a preliminary injunction requiring Kalshi to block Michigan residents from sports event contracts, enforce geofencing with a $500,000 daily fine for violations, and allow continued state oversight as the case proceeds. Separately, a Louisiana judge ruled that the Class of 2022 players can compete in 2026-27 under an injunction, potentially adding players to LSU’s roster amid ongoing legal battles between the school and the SEC.

ICE officer indicted on six false-statement counts over Minneapolis migrant shooting — 1dICE officer Christian Castro has been indicted on six counts of lying to investigators about the January shooting of Venezuelan national Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis in Minneapolis, part of the Operation Metro Surge crackdown. The case, the first DOJ-prosecuted instance against an ICE officer in immigration operations, involves ongoing state charges, extradition disputes, and questions about civil rights implications.

Elena Vasquez If the indictment is accurate, lying about a shooting is about as serious as it gets for someone with a badge and a gun.

Nvidia to Acquire Hugging Face for $12.9B, Open-Platform — 5dNvidia is reportedly pursuing a $12.9–$13 billion acquisition of Hugging Face, signaling a strategic shift from pure hardware to governing the software layer of AI through an open-weight model hub that could counter hyperscalers building their own chips. The move amplifies the debate over open versus closed AI ecosystems, fusing Hugging Face’s open platform with Nvidia’s CUDA-dominated stack while Nvidia also rides strong quarterly revenue as it defends its position in the AI stack.

Volkswagen approves plan to cut 50,000 jobs and halve its lineup, plants’ fate unclear — 1dVolkswagen’s supervisory board has approved Future Plan 2030, a sweeping restructuring that aims to cut about 50,000 jobs, halve its model lineup, and wind down production at four German plants between 2031 and 2034 to address overcapacity. The plan carries up to €10 billion in costs, contemplates alternative uses for the affected plants, and signals a governance shift for the board as stakeholders seek to protect jobs while Bolstering global competitiveness.

Tom Gallagher Halving the lineup makes sense honestly, VW's had way too much overlap between brands for years. The job losses are the brutal part though.

Stan Kroenke's $4 billion deal ends Arte Moreno's 23-year Angels reign — 3dStan Kroenke announced a controlling stake purchase of the Los Angeles Angels from Arte Moreno in a deal reported around a record $4 billion, ending Moreno’s 23-year ownership. Kroenke’s track record of winning and building dynasties suggests an immediate franchise overhaul—new front office leadership, investments in player development, and major stadium and fan-experience upgrades—with closing anticipated in early 2027.

Jared Kim Honestly just hope whoever's in charge finally fixes the pitching depth. Trout deserves a real shot at a title before his prime is gone.

US military downs over 300 border drones without saying where — 1dU.S. forces have downed well over 300 cartel-linked drones along the U.S.-Mexico border in 2026, with more than 100 shot down in August as the Joint Task Force-Southern Border employs lasers and other technologies to counter cross-border threats. Mexico’s defence secretary says the drones are mainly used by migrant-smuggling groups to scout routes where authorities are scarce, while U.S. officials emphasize a broader fight against illicit drone activity tied to crime across the border.

Chris Dalton Lasers taking down drones sounds like sci-fi but I'd rather know the cost and success rate than just a headline number.

Apple sued for £2bn in UK over alleged double standard on app tracking — 2dUK lawyers are leading a £2 billion class-action against Apple, accusing the company of abusing its market power by applying stricter App Tracking Transparency rules to third-party developers than to its own advertising services. Led by Ann Pope, the ATT Collective Action Limited argues the ATT changes harmed UK developers’ ad value and increased user acquisition costs, while Apple portrays ATT as a privacy safeguard for users.

Dana Whitfield £2bn is a huge number but developers did see acquisition costs jump right after the change, that part's hard to deny.

White House reviewed replacing Pentagon deputy Feinberg, officials deny report — 8hThe White House has been reviewing potential replacements for Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg, a process that began in June and signals rising leadership turnover at the Pentagon under Secretary Hegseth. Officially no decision has been made to remove Feinberg, with discussions involving Senate support, while White House and Pentagon spokespeople deny any replacement process and reiterate Feinberg’s continued backing.

Chris Dalton Revolving door at the Pentagon lately. Hard to run a stable defense department when leadership keeps getting shuffled around like this.

Filipiñana Wins Sundance Award, Examines Philippine InequalityEntertainment — 2dFilipiñana, Rafael Manuel’s satirical feature about a 17-year-old tee girl at an exclusive Manila country club, uses extreme heat and a lush golf-course setting to critique colonialism, inequality, and the slow pace of social change, earning Sundance’s Special Jury Award for Creative Vision. The film foregrounds climate stress and a climate-poverty trap while drawing connections between land privatization, elite privilege, and deeper Filipino societal issues, with festival exposure and distribution plans expanding its international reach.

Tiger Woods plans to change plea in Florida DUI — 3dTiger Woods is slated for a change-of-plea hearing in Martin County, Florida, tied to a March rollover DUI case in which he has so far pleaded not guilty, with prosecutors potentially pursuing a plea agreement and ongoing record subpoenas noted. The hearings come as Woods has previously paused public appearances for treatment and recovery, and new court filings reaffirm the possibility of a plea change amid related charges including DUI, property damage, and refusal to submit to testing.

Sam Okafor Hope he's actually getting help and this isn't just about making the legal problem go away quietly.

Army Secretary Dan Driscoll resigns after clashes with Hegseth over reforms — 4dU.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll has submitted his resignation to President Trump amid months of tension with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, leaving the Army with no Senate-confirmed leadership as acting officials assume duties. Reports from Reuters, CNN, and others confirm the White House and WSJ have been informing the narrative of a broader leadership shake-up within the Army.

Chris Dalton Acting officials running the Army again is getting old. Congress needs to move faster on confirmations regardless of who's in charge.

NYC Plans AI Ban for K–8 Students — 3dNew York City will ban AI use for students from kindergarten through eighth grade and impose strict screen-time limits, with AI becoming available in ninth grade only for approved educational activities; teachers will still be allowed to use AI for lesson planning, and companion chatbots are barred. The policy, prompted by concerns over mental health and development and following criticism of earlier guidelines, will be refined after stakeholder feedback with a report due to inform the final rules.

Jared Kim Ninth grade cutoff seems arbitrary, but I get the idea of easing them in once they've built real skills first.

Veraxa Biotech Names Raju Willener CFO Amid Funding Challenges — 1dVERAXA Biotech appointed Raju Willener as chief financial officer, signaling governance stability and a strengthened capital strategy for a pre-revenue oncology company that relies on a SPAC de-SPAC and a $77.5 million funding package to support its BiTAC platform while its first candidate targets IND/CTA readiness in 2028. Willener's three-plus decades of global capital markets and corporate-finance leadership will guide the company’s funding, M&A and financial operations as it advances its pipeline and investor relations.

Nicole Hardy for IND readiness is a long runway. Hope that $77.5M actually lasts that far with no revenue coming in.

The company aims to generate scale and value through the hybrid prospect generator model with ongoing asset-level partner discussions, supported by a ~AUD 12 million cash position and continued AngloGold Ashanti activity, attracting renewed investor interest.

USC's defense records rare two-safety shutout in 39-0 win over Fresno State — 6hUSC rolled to a 39-0 win over Fresno State, riding a stifling defense under Gary Patterson that produced multiple sacks, safeties and a shutout, while Jayden Maiava showed high-efficiency passing with 349 yards and three touchdowns. The Trojans’ passing attack sparked the win with big-play receivers, though the ground game struggled, and the defense’s performance marked a clear upgrade from Week 1 to seal the shutout.

Dana Whitfield Week 1 to Week 2 defensive jump is night and day. Whatever Patterson changed, keep doing it.

White House launches MAGA arcade games, sparks backlash over deportation themes — 1dThe White House launched a retro-style arcade on its site featuring five games—Build the Wall, Rio Run, Supply Line, Flappy Bill, and Trump Savings Tycoon—that promote President Trump’s policy agenda, highlighting border security, Make America Healthy Again, and proposed savings for children. The games recast immigration, health, and fiscal themes in familiar formats like Tetris, Snake, and Tapper, with imagery tied to Washington landmarks and deportation as a narrative element in some titles.

Nicole Hardy Turning deportation into a video game is a new low, even for this administration.
