Trump's presidency facing challenges? Organizers of 'No Kings' protests plan another rally on THIS date
Another round of protests against Donald Trump and his administration have been planned across the United States on July 17 under the banner of Good Trouble Lives On . Organisers of the 'No Kings' Protest say they plan to continue another round of demonstrations next month. Multiple reports suggest the protests will be held on the fifth anniversary of the death of Rep. John Lewis, who was the last surviving member of the Big Six, which helped organize the 1963 March on Washington. On June 14, protests against President Trump took place in towns and cities across the US in a coordinated event titled "No Kings" which coincided with rare military parade hosted by Trump in Washington DC. The protests took place in hundreds of U.S. cities, with large-scale gatherings reported in major hubs such as Philadelphia; Los Angeles; Austin, Texas; Portland, Oregon; and New York. According to analysis by pollster G. Elliott Morris, they were attended by an estimated 4 to 6 million people.

Less than a week after the June 14 "No Kings" protests across the United States, another protest is already being planned. Labelled "Good Trouble Lives On", organisers described the July 17 as "a national day of action to respond to the attacks on our civil and human rights by the Trump administration. Good Trouble Lives on protests are being planned across multiple US cities on July 17 including the likes of New York, Washington DC, Los Angeles and San Francisco with attendees invited to "March in Peace, Act in Power." Live Events The theme of the July 17 protests will be "Good Trouble Lives On," a nod to Lewis' quote: 'Get in good trouble, necessary trouble, and redeem the soul of America.' "We're going to make good trouble because good trouble lives on, and we will not stop until we win this fight," said Barbara R. Arnwine, president and founder of the Transformative Justice Coalition. "No kings, no tyrants, no despots, and we've got to always have good trouble. So we are determined that on July 17, we're asking all of you—each and every one of you—to turn out and host events in your city."

"Across America, let's make good trouble." "Join us for a national day of nonviolent action as we rally, march, host teach-ins, press conferences, and vigils to demand that Congress fight back and protect our freedom to vote.

These aren't isolated incidents; they're part of a broader effort to delegitimize democratic norms." The protests have three main goals, according to its downloadable "Host Toolkit" for organisers. These are demanding an end to "the extreme crackdown on civil rights by the Trump administration," "the attacks on Black and brown Americans, immigrants, trans people, and other communities," and "the slashing of programs that working people rely on, including Medicaid, SNAP, and Social Security," reports NewsWeek.

The 50501 Movement, short for "50 protests, 50 states, 1 movement" was formed in January 2025 to protest Trump and has been involved in organizing a series of national demonstrations beginning on February 5. A series of "No Kings on Presidents Day" rallies took place on February 17 followed by "Hands Off" demonstrations in April and May criticizing federal layoffs and immigration crackdowns.

Arsenal handed fixtures boost with Liverpool set to be without key man for huge Premier League clash
ARSENAL have received a major boost after learning of their nightmare opening run for the new Premier League season. The Gunners will face THREE of the traditional Big Six in their first five games of the upcoming 2025/26 campaign. 3 3 3 The north Londoners will kick off their season away to Manchester United before matches against Leeds United, defending champions Liverpool, Manchester City and Newcastle United. Mikel Arteta 's troops will be hoping to strike an early blow to the Merseysiders' bid to retain the title in their Anfield showdown. But their chances of doing so will be much higher in the return fixture next January. That's because the Reds will be without the services of star man Mohamed Salah. The Kop club's Egyptian wizard will miss the match as he'll be in action at the African Cup of Nations. Salah's absence for what could be a title race six-pointer will be music to the ears of the Emirates faithful. The 33-year-old has been the scourge of the Gunners in recent years, scoring ten goals in his last 17 appearances against them in all competitions. Arsenal fans were left stunned by the difficult start a Premier League computer has handed the team in what could end up being a make-or-break season for Arteta. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS So much so that several of them, WITHOUT A SHRED OF PROOF, have jokingly claimed the fixtures were " RIGGED". On wrote on X: "The league [is] trying to set us up."

European game generated 38 billion euros in 2023-24 season, study shows
Europe's soccer market grew by 8 per cent in terms of revenue in the 2023-24 season to 38 billion euros ($43.46 billion) with England's Premier League generating the most, Deloitte said in a study published on Wednesday. In its Annual Review of Football Finance, Deloitte said the top five leagues - Premier League, Bundesliga, LaLiga, Serie A and Ligue 1 - generated 20.4 billion euros in revenue, an increase of 4 per cent. Premier League clubs had the highest revenue of Europe's top leagues at 6.3 billion pounds ($8.50 billion). However, the traditional 'big six' clubs in England's top flight reported lower average revenue growth (3 per cent) than other clubs that were in the Premier League in both the 2023-24 and 2022-23 seasons (11 per cent). The study said the growth was largely driven by expansion of clubs' commercial offerings, which also led to the teams cumulatively generating more than two billion pounds in commercial revenue for the first time. "A focus on stadia development and diversification of commercial revenues led to growth across the European football market in the 2023-24 season," Tim Bridge, lead partner in Deloitte's Sports Business Group, said. "However, clubs and leagues cannot afford to take their eye off the ball as new challenges, including an evolving regulatory landscape and changing fan behaviours, arise. "The pressure is mounting for more clubs to drive additional revenue at the same time as managing rising costs. "More so than ever, leaders and owners must recognise the great responsibility they have of managing these businesses, capturing the historic essence of a football club while honouring its unrivalled role as a community asset for generations to come." Clubs in Europe's 'big five' leagues reported an aggregate operating profit (0.6 billion euros) for a second successive season, while the aggregate wages/revenue ratio fell from 66 per cent to 64 per cent. WSL REVENUE SOARS Clubs in England's Women's Super League (WSL) jointly generated revenue of 65 million pounds in the 2023-24 season, a 34 per cent rise. Each WSL club had a double-digit increase in revenue, while all 12 clubs reported over one million pounds in revenue for the first time, with an average revenue of 5.4 million pounds. "Through developing more robust fan engagement strategies, strong commercial deals and securing central distributions, WSL clubs unlocked a new phase of growth," Deloitte Sports Business group's knowledge and insights lead Jennifer Haskel said. "Plus, as the reporting and attribution of commercial revenue remains inconsistent between clubs, we may be scratching the surface on the value now being generated by the women's game."

Tuesday's Insider Report: Director invests in 2025's top-performing Big 6 Canadian bank stock
Featured below are companies that have experienced recent insider trading activity in the public market through their direct and indirect ownerships, including accounts they have control or direction over. The list features insider transaction activity; it does not convey total ownership information as an insider may hold numerous accounts. Keep in mind, when looking at transaction activities by insiders, purchasing activity may reflect perceived value in a security. Selling activity may or may not be related to a stock's valuation; perhaps an insider needs to raise money for personal reasons. An insider's total holdings should be considered because a sale may, in context, be insignificant if this person has a large remaining position in the company. I tend to put great weight on insider transaction activity when I see multiple insiders trading a company's shares or units.
