(the company formerly known as Twitter), and owner Elon Musk—have reached an impasse in settlement negotiations. Currently, law firms for individual plaintiffs — Lichten & Liss-Riordan PC and Sanford Heisler Sharp McKnight LLP — are arguing in court over how to proceed, with Sanford Heisler filing a motion to withdraw as counsel for named plaintiffs Courtney McMillian and Ronald Cooper after they retained Lichten in October. McMillian and Cooper filed suit on behalf of certain former Twitter employees in July 2023. A year later, McMillian and Cooper appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit after a California federal district court judge dismissed their claim against X and Musk for allegedly violating the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) by not paying them severance. In August, Sanford Heisler, which was solely representing the plaintiffs at the time, reported a tentative settlement to the Ninth Circuit. That court is now considering a motion to intervene in the appeal filed by Sanford Heisler in October, who represents members of the proposed class

AUBURN, Ala. – KeShawn Murphy hit a 35-foot shot at the buzzer and Auburn celebrated what it thought was a wild comeback win, but after a video review, the officials waved off the bucket, ruling Murphy did not release the ball in time, giving Texas A&M a 90-88 victory Tuesday at Neville Arena. “Heartbreaker,” Auburn coach Steven Pearl said. “I thought we played really good basketball for the first 26 minutes. Credit to them. They made plays in pressure and we made some really silly mistakes.” Trailing by two points with .6 left on the clock, Auburn inbounded to Murphy who caught the ball, spun and fired a high-arcing shot that swished through the net, sending the Jungle into a delirious celebration. After conferring at the scorer’s table for a couple minutes, the officials determined that the ball was still in Murphy’s hands when the final tenth of a second transpired.  “I don’t have a clear understanding of what they were going off of,” Pearl said. “From the angles I saw, it looked like the ball was out of his hands on the red light. I would imagine they had a different angle they were looking at. “Everyone thinks the

Story by Kentucky Football has landed a big transfer portal prize at the quarterback position. Former Notre Dame signal-caller Kenny Minchey is set to join the Kentucky Wildcats for the 2026 season, flipping his commitment from Nebraska to UK in dramatic fashion.

Getty Images The regular season is over, and for the third consecutive season, the Cincinnati Bengals will be watching the playoffs from the outside. This is the same Bengals that went to the Super Bowl in 2021 and the AFC Championship game in 2022. Since then, though, the front office has allowed the roster to stagnate and has refused to make the necessary changes that could help them get to where they say they want to go. Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins will not be in their primes forever. Every single year that goes by where the best QB-WR-WR trio in the NFL misses the playoffs is a tragedy, and three years in a row is inexcusable.It’s more likely than not that any other franchise, in the same situation, would have fired everyone by now. The Bengals, however, are not most franchises. After announcing on X on Black Monday that they would be keeping Duke Tobin, Zac Taylor, and no coaching changes would be made, fans took to the platform to voice their displeasure at the situation. Here are some examples:

This is typically a result of poor contact, not knowing their true yardages and over-confidence in their abilities. So, what can you do that fix this? It’s rather simple: just take more club. Sure, you may catch it flush every once in a while and fly the green

The Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC), the largest coalition of Palestinian civil society leading the global BDS movement, condemns the criminal and colonial military aggression of the United States against Venezuela, a violation of its sovereignty, the right to self-determination of the Venezuelan people, and international law. We stand in solidarity with the Venezuelan and Caribbean peoples, who for months have been suffering under US harassment through illegal military aggression and war crimes, including extrajudicial killings. This attack on Venezuela is also an attack on all of Latin America and the Caribbean. After witnessing the burial of the international legal system in Gaza, we are now witnessing the “might makes right” era, as Palestinian civil society had forewarned. International leaders, such as Gustavo Petro, President of Colombia, Cyril Ramaphosa, President of South Africa, and Anwar Ibrahim, Prime Minister of Malaysia, warned in July 2025: “The choice is stark: Either we act together to enforce international law or we risk its collapse. We choose to act, not only for the people of Gaza but for the future of a world where justice prevails over impunity.” The US imperialist aggression against peoples of the Global South is nothing new, of course, from
