Paramount, Trump in ‘advanced' discussions to settle $20 billion lawsuit
The parties began mediation in April, though it had not been clear whether they were nearing a resolution to the case. Trump had filed the lawsuit for $20 billion, alleging that CBS had aided Harris's bid for president by editing an answer she gave to a question asked by correspondent Bill Whitaker about Israel in an effort to make her sound better and 'sabotage' Trump's campaign.

6th Republican-led state sends National Guard troops to DC
The number of National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., increased again on Tuesday as a sixth Republican-led state sent some of its soldiers to the nation's capital as part of the president's activation to fight what he claims is rising crime in the city. Tennessee sent 160 troops to the nation's capital on Tuesday, bringing the total number of troops ordered to the city to 2,021. About 900 members, which include members of the military police, have actually mobilized as of Tuesday afternoon and many of those members are unarmed. Aside from members of the D.C. National Guard, five other states previously sent their military members to serve in Trump's mobilization: Louisiana, Ohio, South Carolina, West Virginia and Mississippi. Guard troops are now helping law enforcement at 10 Metro stations, in addition to keeping a small presence along the National Mall, according to officials in charge of the operation, which they are now calling "D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force." MORE: Sen. Van Hollen says an armed National Guard in DC would be 'troubling' Stations include L'Enfant Plaza, Gallery Place, Metro Center and Union Station. Officials previously said Guard personnel are not arresting people, only helping to detain individuals briefly if necessary before handing them off to law enforcement. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced later in the day there have been a total of 465 arrests since Trump launched federal law enforcement in Washington on Aug. 7. There were 52 arrests Monday night, according to Leavitt. Information about potential charges from those arrests has not been revealed. "Four more homeless encampments were also removed during yesterday's reporting period. To date, a total of 48 homeless encampments have been cleared in Washington, D.C., by multi-agency teams," she added. When asked by a reporter how long residents in the city should expect the National Guard to remain deployed in the district, Levitt said that they don't have a "timeline" to share. ABC News' Anne Flaherty contributed to this report.

Woman Chooses Baby Name but It's 'Become Pretty Clear' Husband Is No Fan
In a post shared to Reddit, the woman writes that she and her husband "have been going back and forth on names for months" NEED TO KNOW A woman who will soon give birth says she's settled on a baby name — but her husband remains unconvinced In a post on Reddit, she writes that there is one name that she "absolutely loves" Her husband, however, doesn't like it — and now she wonders if it's worth fighting over A mom-to-be says she's decided on a baby name — but her husband isn't enthusiastic about her choice. In a post shared to Reddit, the woman writes that she and her husband "have been going back and forth on names for months." "There's one name I absolutely love; Wilson. From the first time I said it out loud, it just felt like it fit our son perfectly," she writes. When she initially brought it up to her husband, she writes, he "didn't shoot it down right away." "He said he didn't love it as a first name, but he'd be okay using it as a middle name. I was a little disappointed, but I agreed because I wanted to be flexible and make sure we both felt good about the name," she adds. She continues: "The problem is, recently he's been brainstorming other options for both the first and middle name, and it's become pretty clear he doesn't want Wilson anywhere at all. On top of that, his family has made a few comments about it being a 'bad' or 'weird' name, which honestly stings."

"To me, Wilson isn't just a random choice," she writes. "It's a name I feel genuinely connected to, and I thought the middle-name compromise was a fair way to include it without him feeling like it was forced. Now it feels like even that compromise is gone, and like my preferences don't matter in the process anymore." Now, she writes that she feels hurt, and wonders if she should "just let it go entirely" or keep fighting for the name she wants. But Reddit users say the woman needs to accept a compromise. "Baby names should be agreed on by both parents. You may be drawn to Wilson, but your husband is not. This isn't something to be hurt over because it's nothing against you personally," writes one commenter. Adds another: "You absolutely get a say in the baby's name, but the baby's father gets an equal say, and he doesn't like Wilson. You have to let it go. It can be tedious and annoying to come up with a name you both genuinely like, but the exercise is worth it." Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Unfinished Business: Dickens Outlines His Vision for a Second Term
Tackling income inequality and building another 10,000 affordable housing units are two of Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens' goals for a second term in office. The 51-year-old Dickens outlined his vision for a second term on Tuesday after formally qualifying to put his name on the ballot in November. He told dozens of supporters gathered on the steps outside City Hall that Atlanta has housed hundreds of homeless people, built more than 11,000 affordable housing units, and hired more than 14,000 young people over the course of the past three-plus years, but the city still has a long way to go toward closing the gap between its haves and have-nots. 'We've got big plans to keep moving Atlanta forward,' Dickens told those in attendance on Tuesday. 'We're going to make Atlanta the best place to raise a family through affordable housing, food access, public safety, youth programs, and more.' Tuesday marks the start of the four-day qualifying period for municipal office candidates to be on the ballot in November, according to the office of Atlanta Municipal Clerk Corrine Lindo. Anyone running for mayor or a spot on Atlanta City Council has until Friday to file required paperwork and pay all necessary fees. Read More: Is a Second Andre Dickens Term Inevitable? Mayoral candidates must be at least 18 years of age and pay $6,081.90 to run. They also are required to live in the city for at least a year prior to filing to run for office. Lindo's office on Tuesday declined to confirm who has officially qualified for the city's mayoral race. A staffer said the final list of mayoral candidates won't be available until Friday. Blandtown resident Marcus D. Lamar, 2021 mayoral candidate Walter Reeves, and community advocate Eddie Meredith have declared their intentions to run against Dickens in November, along with consultant Helmut Domagalski. Rumored candidates include Larmetria Trammell and Kalema Jackson, according to the Center for Civic Innovation. Meredith said on Tuesday that he, too, has qualified to be on the ballot. The 39-year-old former pastor and community leader, originally from Oakland, California, has lived in Atlanta since 1993. He told Capital B Atlanta in July that he's running for mayor because, in his view, Dickens hasn't done enough to help the city's working class. Read More: Dickens Champions 'Cop City,' Crime Drop, and Housing Gains 'There's nobody that's out there that is advocating for the people,' Meredith said. 'A lot of residents are extremely vulnerable.' Beunca Gainor disagrees with Meredith's view on Dickens. The 36-year-old Bankhead resident was one of the more than 50 Dickens supporters who attended his Tuesday morning press conference. She said the mayor's affordable housing strikeforce has helped make a difference in the lives of Black Atlanta residents like her. She, her fiancé, and their five children recently moved into an affordable two-bedroom apartment in the city. 'You can't beat $850 in the city in 2025,' Gainor told Capital B Atlanta on Tuesday. 'If I needed to take a week of sick leave from my job, I won't be homeless, because I can actually afford my rent.'
