College sports bill introduced by bipartisan group of House members
The announcement said that the bill is backed by leaders of three House committees, but it follows the basic contours of a discussion draft circulated in June by Reps. Gus Bilirakis, R-Fla., and Brett Guthrie, R-Ky.
Guthrie chairs the Energy and Commerce committee. Bilirakis chairs that panel's Commerce, Manufacturing, and Trade subcommittee.
Dubbed the SCORE Act (Student Compensation And Opportunity Through Rights and Endorsements), the bill includes language that specifically would allow the NCAA, and potentially the new Collegiate Sports Commission, to make operational rules affecting schools and athletes in areas that have come into legal dispute in recent years and in areas that the NCAA wants to shield from future legal dispute.
To back up that authority, the bill has specific language designed to shield the NCAA, the Commission, conferences and schools from antitrust and state-court lawsuits that could come from rules. It states that the adoption and/or enforcement of any rule established in concert with the bill 'shall be treated as lawful under the antitrust laws and any similar State law, rule, regulation, requirement, standard, or other provision having the force and effect of law.'

S&P 500 Gains & Losses Today: UFC Parent TKO Soars, Intel Stock Rises; Hershey Drops
Key Takeaways The S&P 500 slipped 0.3% on Monday, Aug. 11, 2025, ahead of a key inflation report on Tuesday and as President Trump pushed back the deadline for higher China tariffs. TKO Holdings shares soared after the newly combined Paramount Skydance said it acquired exclusive broadcasting rights for the sports company's UFC mixed martial arts franchise. Intel's stock also rose. Hershey shares, which have been pressured by elevated cocoa prices, declined as futures prices for the key ingredient of chocolate pushed even higher.U.S. equities indexes moved lower to kick off the trading week ahead of Tuesday's anticipated release of July Consumer Price Index data, which could factor into the Federal Reserve's upcoming interest-rate decisions. Trade policy also remained in the spotlight, with President Donald Trump extending the deadline for higher tariffs on imports from China by an additional 90 days. The S&P 500 fell 0.3% on Monday. The Nasdaq was also down around 0.3%, receding from the record closing high posted at the end of last week. The Dow dropped roughly 0.5%. Read Investopedia's full coverage of today's trading here. Shares of TKO Group Holdings (TKO), owner of the Ultimate Fighting Championship franchise, surged more than 10% to notch the day's best performance in the S&P 500. The move highercame after the newly formed Paramount Skydance (PSKY) announced a seven-year deal for exclusive UFC broadcasting rights worth $7.7 billion. Paramount Skydance shares sank 3.7% on Monday, the third day of trading following the closing of the merger between Skydance Media and the former Paramount Global. China's Contemporary Amperex Technology, or CATL, said that it halted production at a key lithium mine following the expiration of the mine's permit. The expectation that a resulting downtick in lithium supply could provide some relief for the slumping price of the key battery component helped boost shares of other producers. Albemarle (ALB), the world's largest lithium producer, advanced 7%. Shares of video game maker Electronic Arts (EA) added 5.1% following positive comments from several research firms. Analysts at Oppenheimer discussed the successful beta test of EA's upcoming title Battlefield 6, noting polished and authentic gameplay as well the technical ability to manage a surge in players during the test without sacrificing the user experience. Meanwhile, analysts at D.A. Davidson lifted their price target on EA stock, although they struck a cautious tone about lofty Battlefield 6 targets and raised concerns about the growth trajectory of the company's American Football business, maintaining a "neutral" rating on the shares. Intel (INTC) shares gained 3.7% following reports that CEO Lip-Bu Tan was set to visit the White House after Trump called for his resignation in a social media post last week. The Wall Street Journal suggested that Tan could seek to improve the chipmaker's relationship with the Trump administration and possibly lay the groundwork for new deals. Shares of financial software provider Intuit (INTU) dropped 5.7%, the most of any S&P 500 stock on Monday. Analysts pointed to a number of headwinds for the company. Intuit's TurboTax Live platform, a service providing limited support for do-it-yourself tax filers and a key growth driver for the company, could face disruption from generative AI technologies, while the uncertain macroeconomic environment has raised concerns about the revenue Intuit generates from small and medium-sized businesses. Hershey (HSY) stock sank 4.8%. Shares of the chocolate maker have been pressured by elevated cocoa prices, and futures prices for the key ingredient jumped even higher Monday, reflecting concerns that dry conditions in West Africa could lead to softer crop production. Hershey said late last month that it would increase prices as it seeks to offset the cocoa-driven cost pressure.

Trump wants troops in D.C. But don't expect him to stop there
Well, at least they're not eating the cats and dogs. To hear President Trump tell it, Washington, D.C., has become a barbarous hellhole — worse even than Springfield, Ohio, it would seem, where he accused Black immigrants, many from Somalia, of barbecuing pets last year during the campaign. Back then, Trump was just a candidate. Now, he's the commander in chief of the U.S. military with a clear desire to use troops of war on American streets, whether it's for a fancy birthday parade, to enforce his immigration agenda in Los Angeles or to stop car thefts in the nation's capital. 'It's becoming a situation of complete and total lawlessness,' Trump said during a Monday news conference, announcing that he was calling up National Guard troops to help with domestic policing in D.C. 'We'll get rid of the slums, too. We have slums here. We'll get rid of them,' he said. 'I know it's not politically correct. You'll say, 'Oh, so terrible.' No, we're getting rid of the slums where they live.' Where 'they' live. While the use of the military on American streets is alarming, it should be just as scary how blatantly this president is tying race not just to crime, but to violence so uncontrollable it requires military troops to stop it. Tying race to criminality is nothing new, of course. It's a big part of American history and our justice system has unfortunately been steeped in it, from the Jim Crow era to the 1990s war on drugs, which targeted inner cities with the same rhetoric that Trump is recycling now. The difference between that last attack on minorities — started by President Nixon and lasting through Presidents Reagan and George H.W. Bush, also under the guise of law and order — and our current circumstances is that in this instance, the notion of war isn't just hyperbole. We are literally talking about soldiers in the streets, targeting Black and brown people. Whether they are car wash employees in California or teenagers on school break in D.C., actual crimes don't seem to matter. Skin color is enough for law enforcement scrutiny, a sad and dangerous return to an era before civil rights. 'Certainly the language that President Trump is using with regard to D.C. has a message that's racially based,' said Erwin Chemerinsky, the dean of the UC Berkeley School of Law. Chemerinsky pointed out that just a few days ago, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals called out the Trump administration for immigration raids that were unconstitutional because they were basically racial sweeps. But he is unabashed. His calls for violence against people of color are escalating. It increasingly appears that bringing troops to Los Angeles was a test case for a larger use of the military in civilian settings. 'This will go further,' Trump ominously said, making it clear he'd like to see soldiers policing across America. 'We have other cities also that are bad, very bad. You look at Chicago, how bad it is,' he went on. 'We have other cities that are very bad. New York has a problem. And then you have, of course, Baltimore and Oakland. We don't even mention that anymore, they're so, they're so far gone.' In reality, crime is dropping across the United States, including in Washington. As the Washington Post pointed out, violent crime rates, including murders, have for the most part been on a downward trend since 2023. But all it takes is a few explosive examples to banish truth from conscientiousness. Trump pointed out some tragic and horrific examples — including the beating of Edward 'Big Balls' Coristine, a former employee of the president's Department of Government Efficiency who was attacked after attempting to defend a woman during a carjacking recently, not far from the White House. These are crimes that should be punished, and certainly not tolerated. But the exploitation we are seeing from Trump is a dangerous precedent to justify military force for domestic law enforcement, which until now has been forbidden — or at least assumed forbidden — by the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. This week, just how strong that prohibition is will be debated in a San Francisco courtroom, during the three-day trial over the deployment of troops in Los Angeles. While it's uncertain how that case will resolve, 'Los Angeles could provide a bit of a road map for any jurisdiction seeking to push back against the Trump administration when there's a potential threat of sending in federal troops,' Jessica Levinson, a constitutional legal scholar at Loyola Law School, told me. Again, California coming out as the biggest foil to a Trump autocracy. But while we wait in the hopes that the courts will catch up to Trump, we can't be blind to what is happening on our streets. Race and crime are not linked by anything other than racism. Allowing our military to terrorize Black and brown people under the guise of law and order is nothing more than a power grab based on the exploitation of our darkest natures. It's a tactic Trump has perfected, but one which will fundamentally change, and weaken, American justice if we do not stop it.
