Judge to explain why he’s approving Purdue Pharma settlement plan, which calls for $7B from Sacklers
A U. S. Bankruptcy Court judge is set to give his reasoning Tuesday for approving OxyContin maker Purdue Pharma’s plan to settle thousands of lawsuits over the toll of opioids. The deal calls for members of the Sackler family who own the company to pay up to $7 billion over time. Judge Sean Lane said last week that he would accept the plan, which ranks among the largest opioid settlements ever and would do something other major ones don’t: Pay some victims of the crisis. Money will go to governments and some individuals Sackler family members agreed to pay up to $7 billion over 15 years, providing most of the cash involved in the settlement. The funds distributed to state, local and Native Americans is to be used mostly to address the opioid crisis, as has been the case with other opioid settlements. About $850 million of that is to go to individual victims, including children born with opioid withdrawal. People with addiction and survivors of those who died must prove they were prescribed OxyContin to participate. Those who do could receive payments of around $8,000 or around $16,000, depending on how long they received the drug and how many other people qualify. The money for individual victims is to be distributed next year. Not only money is at stake Members of the Sackler family are agreeing to give up ownership of Purdue. For them, that won’t be a major change since no family member has served on Purdue’ board or received money from the company since 2018. The plan calls for Purdue to be replaced with a new company, Knoa Pharma, to be controlled by a board appointed by states and with a mission of benefiting the public. Sackler family members are also agreeing not to have their name put on institutions in exchange for contributions something they’ve done often in the past, though many institutions have cut ties with them. The company has also agreed to make public a trove of internal documents that could shed additional light into how the company promoted and monitored opioids. One feature that won’t be repeated under this new deal that was in a previous one: forcing members of the Sackler family to hear directly from people harmed by OxyContin. A long legal saga could be wrapping up Purdue filed for bankruptcy protection in 2019 when it was facing thousands of opioid-related lawsuits from state and local governments and others. A judge approved a settlement two years later. But the U. S. Supreme Court later rejected that plan because it gave members of the Sackler family protection from lawsuits over opioids even though they were not personally declaring bankruptcy. The latest plan allows lawsuits against Sackler family members by those who don’t opt into the deal. This time through, few parties objected to the settlement, though some people who represented themselves and who were addicted to opioids or had loved ones who were raised concerns during the three-day confirmation hearing last week.

3 Surprise returns Tony Khan could book on AEW Dynamite to counter Dolph Ziggler’s shocking WWE return
AEW is set to hold its upcoming pay-per-view, Full Gear 2025, this Saturday in Newark, NJ. Leading up to that event, the promotion will make a stop in Boston, MA, this Wednesday for a special three-hour block of action, combining Dynamite and Collision. With the excitement generated this Monday on WWE RAW, featuring John Cena’s final appearance on the flagship brand, and the return of Dolph Ziggler as a mystery participant in the Last Time Is Now tournament, Tony Khan will no doubt be looking to make sure that this week’s All Elite Wrestling programming draws as many viewers as possible. One of the easiest ways he can achieve that, of course, is by booking some unexpected returns on his show. Let us consider three names that TK could bring back this Wednesday. #1. Former AEW Women’s World Champion Britt Baker Earlier this year, rumors circulated that Britt Baker was done with All Elite Wrestling, owing to conjecture regarding her supposed backstage unpopularity and off-screen conflicts. The DMD hasn’t been seen in the ring since November of last year, and the weekly programming has yet to drop any meaningful allusion to her whereabouts this year. However, in an interview last month, Tony Khan confirmed that the former Women’s World Champion was still signed with AEW. The All Elite Wrestling Creative Head could stun fans this Wednesday by bringing Baker back during this week’s Dynamite-Collision special. The Doctor could influence the outcome of either of the two quarterfinal matches in the ongoing AEW Women’s World Tag Team Title Tournament. Alternatively, she might return to start a feud with her former ally and tag partner Jamie Hayter, or even reignite her rivalry with Mercedes Mone, potentially costing her during the title match later this week at Full Gear 2025. #2. Former NWA World Women’s Champion Kamille Kamille made her debut last year as Mercedes Mone’s bodyguard and muscle. However, their alliance didn’t last long because shortly after Kris Statlander handed The Brickhouse her first loss in the company, The CEO began to mistreat and disrespect the former NWA Women’s Champion, which eventually drove the latter to walk out of her employ. Shortly afterwards, in November last year, Kamille was found laid out backstage and hasn’t been seen in the company since then. The North Carolina native’s on-screen hiatus could come to an end this week if Tony Khan books her return on the upcoming Dynamite-Collision special. The episode will likely feature both “Ultimo” Mone and Statlander ahead of their AEW Women’s World Title match at Full Gear 2025. Kamille could attack both stars upon returning, revealing Mercedes as her mystery assailant from last year and sending a message, as well as a challenge to Stat for a future championship showdown, this time with the latter’s belt on the line. #3. Former AEW World Tag Team Champion Keith Lee Keith Lee has been absent from active competition in All Elite Wrestling since he withdrew from Worlds End 2023 due to injury. He went under the knife for “double surgeries” in January last year but has yet to return to action. Despite being gone for well over a year now, fans are still clamouring for The Limitless One on a weekly basis. The latter, on his part, has claimed that he will step back into the ring at some point, and that his career is far from over. All Elite Wrestling recently unveiled a new title the AEW National Championship the first holder of which will be determined at Full Gear 2025 through a Casino Gauntlet Match. A number of top stars have already declared themselves for the bout, including Shelton Benjamin, Bobby Lashley, Kevin Knight, and “Speedball” Mike Bailey. Keith Lee might be the next big star to announce his participation in the matchup, an announcement the former NXT Champion could make upon returning to television during this week’s Dynamite-Collision special.

Tennessee judge blocks deployment of National Guard in Memphis
MEMPHIS, Tenn. A Tennessee judge on Monday night blocked the use of the National Guard in Memphis under a crimefighting operation by President Donald Trump but also put the order on hold, giving the government five days to appeal. Davidson County Chancellor Patricia Head Moskal’s decision sides with Democratic state and local officials who sued, contending that Republican Gov. Bill Lee cannot deploy the Tennessee National Guard for civil unrest unless there is rebellion or invasion, and even then, it would require action by state lawmakers. The plaintiffs also said another provision spells out a need for a request from a local government to use the Guard in some scenarios, including a “breakdown of law and order,” they said. The state has said Tennessee law gives the governor “the authority to dispatch the Guard when needed and to determine when that need exists.” In a statement posted on X, Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris, a plaintiff in the case, said he is pleased with the decision. “The injunction does not take effect immediately, and the state has a chance to seek leave to appeal,” he wrote. “However, this is a positive step toward ensuring the rule of law applies to everyone, including everyday Tennesseans and even the Governor.” Since their arrival on Oct. 10, troops have been patrolling neighborhoods and commercial areas of Memphis, including near the iconic Pyramid in downtown, wearing fatigues and protective vests that say “military police,” with guns in holsters. Officials have said Guard members have no arrest power. The Guard is part of a task force established by an order from Trump. It also involves a slew of other law enforcement agencies whose officers have patrolling the city now for weeks. For years, Memphis has dealt with high violent crime, including assaults, carjackings and homicides. While this year’s statistics show improvement in several categories, including murders, many acknowledge that violence remains a problem. Trump announced in September that the National Guard would be deployed to combat crime in Memphis alongside authorities from a slew of federal agencies as part of the so-called Memphis Safe Task Force. The task force, which includes hundreds of personnel attached to various federal and state law enforcement agencies and Memphis police, has made more than 2, 500 arrests since it began operating in Memphis. Arrests have been made on charges ranging from drug and weapons violations to immigration warrants to homicides. Lee has said the National Guard would “play a critical support role” for local law enforcement. Memphis Mayor Paul Young, a Democrat, said he never requested that the Guard come to his city. But after Trump made the announcement and Lee agreed, Young, who is not involved in the lawsuit, and others has said they wanted the task force to focus on targeting violent offenders. Young has said operations include some 150 Guard members. Both the plaintiffs and the state acknowledged that the governor did not issue an order to trigger the deployment, but sent a news release. Lee has said that, “As the the commander-in-chief, Gov. Lee has the authority to authorize the Title 32 strategic mission to Memphis.”.

“Really got that city turnt” – Simone Biles’ husband Jonathan Owens reacts to his team Chicago Bears’ win over Minnesota Vikings
Simone Biles’ husband Jonathan Owens recently reacted to his team Chicago Bears’ victory over the Minnesota Vikings. The Chicago Bears locked horns with the Vikings at U. S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Sunday, November 16, 2025. The Chicago Bears were winning the game with a dominant lead on Sunday, when in the last quarter, the Vikings made an incredible comeback and scored two touchdowns. The development helped them to earn a 17-16 lead with only 50 seconds left on the clock. However, only seconds later, the Bears’ kicker, Cairo Santos, scored a game-winning field goal. His last-minute score helped the team earn the win and put the Chicago Bears in the top place in the NFC North Division, ahead of the Green Bay Packers, Detroit Lions, and Minnesota Vikings. The victory brought joy to the fans, who were seen celebrating. The Chicago Bears shared a compilation of the Bears fans’ celebration on Instagram and wrote: “Keep tagging us in the reaction videos 🤭” The team’s safety Owens shared the video on his Instagram story and wrote: “Really got that city turnt man,” adding a fire and crossed fingers emoji.

The legendary gymnast underwent a breast augmentation, lower blepharoplasty (which reduces the bagginess from the lower eyelids), and earlobe surgeries. She explained why she decided to speak about the surgeries, stating she wants to inspire the young girls to accept their own choices. “I also think it shows young girls that they have the right to their own choices, whatever they are, and that’s no shame added as well,” she said. “I feel like nowadays with social media, you see everyone and you’re like, ‘Oh my God, how does she look so good? com) Simone Biles also highlighted why she underwent these surgeries, saying that she suffered from “Biles eye bags” and ripped earlobes. Biles also made clear why she got her breast augmentation done.

XRP News: Amplify’s XRPM Income ETF Set To Go Live on Wall Street November 18
Amplify ETFs has officially announced that its new XRP-linked premium income fund, trading under the ticker XRPM, will launch on November 18, 2025. The ETF will be listed on the Cboe BZX Exchange and will open through a New Issue Auction at 9: 30 a. m. ET, giving traditional investors a regulated doorway into XRP-related returns without holding the asset directly. XRPM will list on the Cboe BZX Exchange under the CUSIP 032108375 with a reported net asset size of $750,000 and 30, 000 shares outstanding at launch. The total expense ratio is set at 0. 75 percent. Cboe confirmed that the ETF meets all requirements under the Exchange Act of 1934 and will be quoted on SIAC Tape B for full market visibility. Why XRPM Stands Out According to Amplify, the XRPM ETF aims to combine XRP price appreciation potential with a high-income options strategy. The fund targets a 36 percent annualized option premium income while still maintaining exposure to 40 to 70 percent of XRP’s upside performance. Instead of directly purchasing XRP, the ETF will gain exposure through XRP-based exchange-traded products, futures, and covered call options to generate consistent monthly payout opportunities. Weekly Options and Monthly Income The strategy behind XRPM revolves around weekly covered call writing, which allows four times more premium-collection opportunities compared to traditional monthly options strategies. Amplify describes this as a way to “harvest volatility,” meaning that short-term price movements in XRP can be converted into recurring income. The fund aims to distribute income monthly, positioning it as an appealing product for yield-focused investors seeking crypto-linked payouts. Institutional Significance The approval and launch of XRPM arrives at a time when demand for regulated, yield-enhanced crypto exposure is increasing. By offering a structured, compliance-ready ETF tied to XRP performance, XRPM acts as a new bridge between institutional finance and digital assets. Its debut highlights the growing trend of turning crypto volatility into a mainstream investment income opportunity.
