A federal judge in Miami heard fresh documents showing that Andrew and Tristan Tate built their public image around a lot of hype that turns out to be mostly made up. Their online presence, full of flashy Bugattis, expensive superyachts, and wild claims of unlimited money, was essentially a performance rather than reality. Defense teams argued those posts were satire and marketing tricks designed to get clicks and cash. But the filings laid bare specific items that weren't actually theirs. A $2. 1 million Aston Martin, two Bugattis valued at five and seven million dollars, and even a claim about riding the Obsidian Blade superyacht were either rented or borrowed. The brothers had been promoted as rich global travelers, yet the evidence suggests they were just staging a caricature of wealth

The city and its private partner have pushed back the opening of White Stadium. The new target is fall 2027, a few months later than the original summer date. Because of this shift, the professional women’s soccer team will not be able to play at the venue until 2028. Boston Public Schools teams will get the first chance to use the field when it finally opens late next year. The team’s upcoming season will be played in Rhode Island, after spending this year at Foxboro’s stadium. Taxpayers are now on the hook for a much larger share of the rebuild. The city’s portion is $135 million, roughly three times the $50 million originally estimated. The private side is putting in more than $190 million of its own money. A recent Supreme Judicial Court decision cleared the project after a long legal

Options traders have been buzzing about Marvell Technology's upcoming earnings report. They strongly suspect the custom AI chip maker could surge toward $300 soon. According to Barchart, analysts project the company will earn $0. 65 per share in its second fiscal quarter. This figure would mark a 30 percent increase compared to the previous year. Currently, the stock trades nearly triple its starting price from earlier this year. Nvidia just delivered a stunning Q2 performance, which has fueled excitement throughout the market. With AI investment remaining robust, derivatives experts now believe Marvell will prove that capital expenditure is creating genuine demand for its networking and optical solutions. The put-call ratio on August expiration contracts stands at 0. 82, signaling that tra

A county coroner says an infant died from a spleen injury right after birth. Tests showed measles antibodies in the baby's system. The doctor who did the autopsy did not think measles caused the death. The coroner has no other cases with positive measles tests. This detail became a flashpoint in a bigger fight. Health officials use the term "measles-associated" when lab work shows the virus but it may not be the main cause of death. Pennsylvania's top health doctor says both people who died tested positive for measles. She says the results came after careful investigation. The state reported the cases to federal authorities early Tuesday. The governor blamed the federal health secretary for spreading doubt about vaccines. He said the rhetoric hurts communities. The secretary fired back o

The big boss in New York City just got some new helpers. Mayor Zohran Mamdani is putting together a group of business leaders to work on making the city's economy stronger. This new team will meet with City Hall four times a year starting this autumn. Their job is to give advice on what industries are growing fast and what the city needs to bring in more jobs and keep smart people from leaving town. Mamdani said he wants input from people who actually run companies. He talked about bringing together leaders from banking, tech, and health science fields. His goal is to make NYC the top spot for starting a business and building a career. Deputy Mayor Julie Su is also part of this push. She said the plan focuses on areas where New York already wins. The aim is to give local workers good re

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is preparing to push harder against Iran when he welcomes G20 finance leaders next week. A US official confirmed the plan on Thursday. War in the Middle East and tension over trade are already clouding the meeting. Finance ministers and central bank governors from the Group of 20 major economies will meet in the mountain city of Asheville, North Carolina. The two-day gathering kicks off Monday. This is the first big ministerial meeting of the year. It sets the stage for a leaders' summit that President Donald Trump will host in Florida this December. During the talks, US officials plan to tell G20 members how important it is to follow American sanctions on Iran. The US wants to squeeze Tehran harder as war continues in the region. A Treasury official shar

Real America’s Voice is turning its news brand into a full‑blown entertainment hub, launching reality dating shows, music spots and lifestyle series that speak directly to its loyal MAGA base. Executives say the goal is to keep viewers inside the network instead of drifting to rival channels. The new lineup includes a dating series that pairs liberals and conservatives, a music program that highlights up‑and‑coming artists, and a lifestyle channel that offers behind‑the‑scenes looks at everyday life. The plan is to reach into people’s daily routines, not just their political feed. Republicans face a deeper issue than rising prices or overseas wars as they head into the midterms. The party’s core promises – ending inflation and staying out of endless conflicts – have not been delivered, an

Fans across the sports world seem to be betting on surprises right now. Most people currently seem to think the Atlanta Braves have a real edge over the Los Angeles Dodgers, even when the Dodgers are favored. The mood is clearly bullish on the Braves, with many expecting them to cover the spread and keep the total score low. It is a strong signal that confidence in the Dodgers is weakening fast. Tennis is where the underdog energy feels strongest. The crowd appears overwhelmingly behind Ignacio Buse in his matchup against Juan Manuel Cerundolo at the Winston-Salem Open. People seem to think Buse will not only win but dominate, and most expect the match to finish. That kind of near-unanimous backing is rare and shows just how doubtful the public is about Cerundolo right now. Soccer fans a

This question has sparked lively discussion among medical professionals and the public alike. In the realm of technology and aerospace, opinions are split regarding major milestones. Some believe SpaceX could top the list when measuring market capitalization after its biggest IPO. Others remain skeptical, pointing to competitors like OpenAI and ByteDance who might claim similar dominance. Meanwhile, the upcoming Starship flight test has generated strong optimism, with many expecting a successful launch sometime in late summer or early fall. Health-related concerns also shape public discourse. D

Recent chatter in the health sector centers on two unfolding questions. First concerns whether a new nominee will take the helm at the Food and Drug Administration. Second asks whether a certain group of substances will be moved to a different classification on the official list. Observers are treating these queries as current mood indicators rather than confirmed outcomes. When it comes to the leadership nomination, the prevailing tone is doubtful. Many commentators suggest that the chances of approval by the approaching deadline look slim, and this skepticism persists when looking at later dates as well. The overall impression is that people are not expecting a positive turn in the near term. Regarding the possible reclassification, views are not uniform. For an earlier cutoff, most vo

Lots of folks have been placing bets lately on how hot things will get this August. The big question everyone keeps asking is whether temperatures in major cities will push past certain thresholds. Turns out, most people out there are betting that things will stay cooler than expected. People seem pretty doubtful about extreme heat hitting the usual record levels. In cities like Hong Kong, Beijing, New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles, the mood leans heavily toward cooler outcomes.

They also doubt that 'Be Her' by Ella Langley will reach the top. At the same time, there is a leaning toward yes for 'Bost

People seem doubtful that oil will reach a high level soon. Many think the price will stay where it is or even drop a bit. The mood around crude is more cautious than excited. Some wonder if supply changes will shift the view later. When it comes to the central bank, the feeling leans toward no rate cuts in the near future. Most expect the current stance to hold, with only a few seeing a change as likely. The overall view is steady rather than shifting. A small group watches for any hint of a move. About the biggest company by market value, a lot of eyes are on NVIDIA to take the lead. Others believe Microsoft and Apple will fall behind in the race. The opinion is split but NVIDIA appears favored. Observers note that innovation and product launches could sway the balance. For the upcomi

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex keep running into roadblocks in Hollywood. Their latest project, a documentary called "Cookie Queens," tanked hard at the box office. The film came out on August 7 in just a handful of theaters. It pulled in only $735 per screen. That placed it at number 15 on the opening weekend chart. All told, the movie made about $513,000 total in the United States. That is a tiny amount for a theatrical release. A royal expert named Kinsey Schofield recently shared her thoughts on the couple's situation. She runs a YouTube channel called "Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered. " Her advice was pretty direct. She said the Sussexes should basically vanish from the spotlight for a while. They need to cut back on all the big announcements. Then they should find just one solid project

A dangerous parasite is moving through the country's food chain. It lives only in people, causes severe diarrhea, and leaves tiny eggs in their waste. When those waste items go down the drain, the eggs travel with the water. If the water is used to grow crops, the eggs can land on the produce we eat. The eggs stay alive for about a week when the weather is warm. They can survive in water that has been treated at a plant, because standard cleaning steps don't always kill them. Farmers sometimes use that water to irrigate fields, especially where natural water is scarce. So a person who eats the contaminated food or drinks the water can become ill and release more eggs back into the system. Researchers collect sewage to see how much disease is in a community. They have used sewage data to

Flock Safety is changing how police use its massive camera network. The company now recommends keeping license plate data for only seven days instead of the previous thirty. This move comes after dozens of cities and counties pulled out of the program because of privacy worries. The network spans nearly 120,000 cameras across fifty-nine states and helps law enforcement track vehicles during investigations. To guard against abuse, Flock is adding new rules. Detectives can now save specific plate info as evidence in active cases through a feature called Evidence Mode. Communities will also get more say over which outside groups can search their cameras via offense filtering. These steps aim to let local authorities stay in charge of their own data while reducing risks of misuse. Critics ar
