Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, now 42 and entering his 22nd NFL season, told reporters at training camp that his wife played a central role in reuniting him with his estranged family, a rift he acknowledged but refused to explain. Rodgers spoke to NFL Media's Kyle Brandt about a reconciliation he described as "a couple-year process," one that culminated in a long weekend spent with his parents, his brother Luke, and Luke's family in Nashville shortly before camp opened. He offered no details about what caused the split, saying only that there were reasons "that don't need to be talked about." But he was direct about who helped him get past it. "Having those conversations with my wife, that allowed me to open up to the…Open

Emma Roberts married actor Cody John in Idaho last weekend with her five-year-old son, Rhodes, walking her down the aisle, a moment made more pointed by the absence of her father, Eric Roberts, and his long-acknowledged failures as a parent.

AMERICANALMANAC (Alex Tanzer) - Bill Belichick downplays UNC turmoil as GM Michael Lombardi faces university investigation

Bill Belichick addressed reporters for the first time since UNC placed his longtime ally and football GM Michael Lombardi on paid administrative leave, offering little clarity as a formal university investigation moves forward.

Bill Belichick addressed reporters for the first time since UNC placed his longtime ally and football GM Michael Lombardi on paid administrative leave, offering little clarity as a formal university investigation moves forward. The eight-time Super Bowl champion, now 74 and heading into his second year coaching the Tar Heels, spoke at training camp in Chapel Hill as the program opened preparations for the upcoming season. His comments were brief and carefully measured, even as the university's chancellor delivered a far blunter assessment of the distraction engulfing the football program. UNC announced July 27 that Lombardi had been placed on paid administrative leave following an internal human resources complaint filed by a former…Open

A quarter-century after the original Fast and Furious roared into theaters, the franchise's cast has racked up a record of legal trouble, personal scandal, and tragedy that rivals anything Hollywood scriptwriters could dream up. The blockbuster series that turned street racing into a global phenomenon is now headed toward its eleventh and reportedly final installment, Fast Forever, slated for March 2028. But between the first film and the finale, the actors who made it a cultural juggernaut have lived lives far more turbulent than any on-screen chase sequence. A recent review by The Sun catalogued where the cast stands now, and the picture is not exactly a victory lap. The most devastating chapter belongs to Paul Walker. The actor who…Open

AMERICANALMANAC (Sadie Smith) - California Democrats buck Newsom and Becerra with vote to endorse billionaire wealth tax

California's Democratic Party resolutions committee voted to recommend endorsing a one-time 5% tax on the state's roughly 200 billionaires, defying both outgoing Gov. Gavin Newsom and gubernatorial nominee Xavier Becerra, who oppose the measure.

California's Democratic Party resolutions committee voted to recommend endorsing a one-time 5% tax on the state's roughly 200 billionaires, defying both outgoing Gov. Gavin Newsom and gubernatorial nominee Xavier Becerra, who oppose the measure. The committee's Saturday vote puts Proposition 40, formally titled the California 2026 Billionaire Tax Act, one step closer to an official party endorsement ahead of the November 3 ballot. But the recommendation is not final. Full endorsement requires at least 60% of delegates to approve it during Sunday's general session, where delegates could also vote to take no position, a move that needs only a simple majority, or pull the recommendation for a separate floor debate. Either way, the committee's…Open

How does the proposed Proposition 40 tax differ from Proposition 3 mentioned by Xavier Becerra?
Proposition 40 is a one-time 5% tax on billionaires. In contrast, Becerra endorsed Proposition 3, which is a measure designed to permanently extend an existing income tax surcharge on high earners to fund education.
Q&A ID a2ee45fa-e573-451c-a0fe-8cdd1cdced3f
What are the possible outcomes for the full delegate body during Sunday's session regarding the endorsement of Proposition 40?
There are three possible outcomes: the delegates can approve the endorsement with at least 60% of the vote, they can vote by simple majority to take no position on the measure, or they can pull the recommendation to allow for a separate floor debate.
Q&A ID 6071712e-6c72-4559-8328-7cf9a81fae0a
Which organizations and individuals have endorsed or opposed Proposition 40 according to the report?
Supporters include Dave Regan (president of SEIU United Healthcare Workers West), Senator Bernie Sanders, Representative Ro Khanna, AFMCME California, and the Teamsters California. Opponents include Governor Gavin Newsom, Xavier Becerra, the California State Council of Laborers, United Domestic Workers, and the California Police Chiefs Association. Additionally, the executive board of SEIU California recently voted to remain neutral.
Q&A ID b6784d61-d7dc-464f-a920-b6fd6b9f47bc
What are the projected financial impacts and revenue goals associated with the California 2026 Billionaire Tax Act?
Proposition 40 is projected to generate an estimated $100 billion in revenue from roughly 200 billionaires. Supporters frame this tax as a necessary response to offset approximately $100 billion in federal healthcare cuts under the Trump administration.
Q&A ID c8b07d77-1aaa-4337-9e27-59915fe3e8e0
Why do Governor Gavin Newsom and gubernatorial nominee Xavier Becerra oppose the billionaire wealth tax proposed in Proposition 40?
Both Newsom and Becerra oppose the measure due to concerns that it would put California at a competitive disadvantage. Newsom argues that billionaires might simply relocate to lower-tax states to avoid the levy, suggesting that a federal wealth tax would be a better approach to prevent such relocation.
Q&A ID 8062ab23-dea0-4295-82e8-57b2ea1b219e
What is the specific recommendation made by the California Democratic Party's resolutions committee regarding Proposition 40?
The resolutions committee voted to recommend endorsing Proposition 40, formally known as the California 2026 Billionaire Tax Act, which is a one-time 5% tax on approximately 200 billionaires in the state. This recommendation moves the measure one step closer to an official party endorsement ahead of the November 3 ballot.
