    Hispanic Heritage Month began in the late ’60s, under Lyndon B. Johnson’s presidency, as a week-long celebration. Two decades later, it was expanded into a month-long celebration by President Ronald Reagan, giving people more time to recognize the contributions made by Latinos and Hispanics in the country.

    Today, Latinos are the largest racial or ethnic minority in the country, making up 21% of the total U.S. population, or about one in five Americans. The month’s timing isn’t random. September 15 is the anniversary of independence for numerous Latin countries, including Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua. Mexico and Chile celebrate their own independence on September 16 and 18. 

    The next few weeks make the perfect excuse to revisit a classic or introduce kids to a title that your grandma or your dad hasn’t stopped talking about. Best of all, it’s free!

  • SEC’s Uyeda Says Dropping Crypto Cases Helps Protect Agency Credibility

    SEC’s Uyeda Says Dropping Crypto Cases Helps Protect Agency Credibility

    SEC Commissioner Mark Uyeda said the agency dropped some crypto lawsuits partly to protect its credibility, arguing that regulators should not defend legal positions they expect to abandon.

    Speaking on Sept. 23, Uyeda said continuing to defend those positions in court could weaken confidence in the agency if its legal interpretation later changes. His comments were reported by Eleanor Terrett, host of the U.S. podcast Crypto in America.

    🚨NEW: SEC Commissioner @MarkUyedaUS says the agency dropped several crypto cases inherited from the prior administration because continuing to defend legal interpretations it was preparing to reverse would have “hurt the SEC’s credibility.”

    SEC Moves Toward Rulemaking

    Uyeda described the change as a “180-degree shift” in how the SEC handles crypto-related legal questions. He has previously criticized the agency’s reliance on enforcement actions, arguing that clearer rules should address issues affecting the industry.

    The SEC has recently moved toward rulemaking and temporary regulatory relief for parts of the crypto market.

    Innovation Exemption Tests Tokenized Stocks

    Uyeda described the SEC’s Innovation Exemption as “a kind of pilot.” The temporary framework allows certain onchain venues to trade tokenized U.S. stocks under specific conditions.

    The SEC said the exemption will allow the agency to observe how these markets operate while considering longer-term rules. The commission has also requested public feedback on the framework.

  • Anne Hathaway reveals the creepy improvised moment that made it into ‘Verity’

    Anne Hathaway reveals the creepy improvised moment that made it into ‘Verity’

    Verity feels like one of the films of the moment. Starring Anne Hathaway in the titular role after a banner year of amazing acting work, the film is a dark romance from BookTok queen Colleen Hoover. She’s the writer behind book-to-screen adaptations like “It Ends With Us” and “Reminders of Him,” but this book marks her darkest adaptation yet. If you need more reasons to watch, it also stars Dakota Johnson and Josh Hartnett, and the three are involved in a complex love triangle.

    Directed by Michael Showalter, “Verity” follows Lowen Ashleigh (Johnson), a struggling writer hired to finish the bestselling series of Verity Crawford (Hathaway), who was left paralyzed and unable to speak after a car accident. While working through Verity’s notes at her home, Lowen grows close to Verity’s husband, Jeremy (Hartnett), setting off a twisty and dangerous romance.

    In an interview with HOLA!, the three actors opened up about making the movie and some of the fun they had when creating characters that go to some really dark places.

    “I remember there’s this one [scene] where Verity’s doing something awful,” said Hathaway. “And Michael [Showalter] came to me and said, ‘Okay, we’re gonna do it one more time. Can you get into bed and be the happiest person who’s ever gotten into bed?’”

    “For some reason I thought, what if I waltz my way into bed?” 

    Hathaway did her waltz, with her and Showalter bursting into laughter after they’d completed the shot. The two thought the moment was too crazy to be featured into the final cut of the final cur of the film. “And we were wrong! It’s in the movie,” she said.

    What Johnson and Hathaway agree upon

    As is the case with movies of this sort where there are changing dynamics depending on the narrator, the film invites many interpretations. The actors themselves have a lot of theories about their own characters and the possibilities of the story. There’s one thing that Johnson and Hathaway agree upon, though.

    “I think Josh has crazy theories,” said Johnson. “But as me, I’m aware that Lowen is a crazy person.”

    Hathaway laughs: “As Verity and myself, I’m aware that Lowen’s a crazy person.”

  • Uniswap rallies 15% – How Spot demand could fuel UNI’s $11 breakout

    Uniswap rallies 15% – How Spot demand could fuel UNI’s $11 breakout

    Uniswap’s [$UNI] price rallied 15.17% at press time, after CME revealed plans for regulated Futures, as the surging spot activity strengthened the catalyst-driven advance.

    On the 22nd of September, CME Group announced the planned Futures activity, which will launch on the 19th of October, subject to regulatory approvals.

    This announcement gave $UNI exposure to another regulated derivatives venue as market participants reacted ahead of the scheduled launch. Trading activity around the token also expanded rapidly following the catalyst, with the spot volume jumping 72.33% to $2.14 billion.

    Spot buyers keep control of the rally

    After the announcement triggered huge market participation, the spot positioning also offered stronger support for $UNI.

    In particular, the Spot Taker CVD metric preserved buyer dominance, implying the aggressive bulls continued taking available liquidity from bears.

    The Futures traders, meanwhile, became less resistant to the advance. The Futures Taker CVD shifted from seller dominance to neutral positioning as derivatives selling eased.

    More importantly, the Futures buyers had not taken control yet, but rather sellers simply lost their earlier dominance. Therefore, the spot buyers remained the clearer driving element behind $UNI’s price expansion.

    Eventually, in case the futures positioning shifts towards buyers, the derivatives demand could provide another layer of support. The persistent neutrality, however, would leave spot traders carrying more responsibility for extending the price recovery.

    Uniswap Spot Taker CVD on CryptoQuant

    Whales remain active near the barrier

    Notably, larger market participants also maintained a significant edge over the retail traders as the $UNI price pushed towards its key weekly resistance.

    Specifically, the Whale versus Retail Delta had registered 0.192 at press time, keeping the reading in positive territory. The positive delta implied that whale activity remained stronger relative to the retail activity during the recent price increase.

    Also notably, the on-chain activity strengthened this whale trend, as two wallets accumulated substantial $UNI positions during the rally.

    According to Lookonchain, one newly created wallet bought 269,477 $UNI valued around $2.84 million, while another acquired 138,442 $UNI worth of $1.23 million. The wallets accumulated a total of roughly 407,919 $UNI worth $4.07 million.

    However, the reading remained below several stronger peaks visible earlier in the year. The prevailing whale participation, therefore, did not match the most aggressive periods shown across the indicator’s recent history.

    The combination remained supportive since the spot takers also favored buyers during the latest price advance.

    Uniswap now faces a different challenge as the price approaches a historically important supply area.

    Can $UNI turn $11-resistance into support?

    During its price uptrend, $UNI reached approximately $10.43 after its impulse from its lower range, reclaiming the major $6 price level.

    Notably, this price rally placed $UNI directly below the weekly $11 area, where previous rallies encountered substantial rejection.

    Also noteworthy, the Uniswap price had last tested this region during the late-2025 period before sellers forced the price sharply lower.

    However, the current price structure carried a strong technical pressure as the weekly RSI climbed to 75.98 as of writing, pushing firmly into the overbought territory. Even so, an overbought reading alone would not confirm an immediate price rejection while buyers remained aggressive.

    The expanding MACD structure instead supported the strength behind $UNI’s push towards its major resistance. In particular, the MACD line at 1.020 sat comfortably above its signal line at 0.254.

    $UNI/USDT Weekly Chart on TradingView

    Overall, a sustained weekly breakout above the $11-resistance could shift attention toward the next major resistance around $15. Another rejection, however, could expose $UNI‘s rally to a broader retracement after its sharp price advance.

    Final Summary

    • CME futures plans strengthened $UNI’s rally as spot buyers maintained control of market activity.
    • Fading futures selling and positive whale activity strengthened $UNI’s attempt to clear $11.
  • Reporters Committee And Dozens Of Media Outlets File Legal Brief Urging Judge To End Trump’s Ban On CNN, Politico And MS Now

    Reporters Committee And Dozens Of Media Outlets File Legal Brief Urging Judge To End Trump’s Ban On CNN, Politico And MS Now

    A collection of more than four dozen media groups and news outlets urged a federal judge to rule to end Donald Trump’s ban on CNN, Politico and MS Now from the White House grounds.

    Just hours before U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly is to hold a hearing, the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, the White House Correspondents’ Association and 49 other media organizations weighed in.

    Related Stories

    “The President has indicated that evictions of other news organizations will follow,” the groups stated in a proposed friend of the court brief. “The current ban – and any future bans – are intended to impair the critical work of news organizations covering the presidency if this court does not immediately intervene.”

    CNN, Politico and MS Now filed suit against Trump on Monday, two days after their correspondents were denied access to the White House grounds. Trump has said that he banned the outlets because of their negative reporting, but the Justice Department claimed in a filing Tuesday that some of their stories jeopardized national security.

    Among those signing on to the brief were the Associated Press, Reuters, NPR, the National Press Club, CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox News and the Dow Jones Co.

    In the brief, the news organizations argued that courts have recognized “what the government cannot do: The administration prohibited three news organizations from access to the entirety of the White House and its grounds due to the content of their reporting.” They added that the “protections the First Amendment affords to nonpublic forum mean that curtailing access to the White House based on viewpoint is unconstitutional.”

    Ex-SEC acting chair: Agency dropped crypto cases to avoid issues with credibility

    Mark Uyeda, who served as acting chair of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) before Paul Atkins’s confirmation, said the agency dropped civil cases against cryptocurrency companies filed under the previous administration because it was preparing a “180-degree change” in rulemaking.

    In a Wednesday panel at the Psaros Center for Financial Markets and Policy’s Financial Markets Quality Conference, Uyeda said the SEC dropped cases involving crypto companies in early 2025 as it could have hurt the agency’s credibility in arguing positions in court contrary to its planned policy changes. Uyeda argued that there had been “significant concerns” that the cases against crypto companies were “justifiable under law.”

    “I’m not about to have our litigators, even though they’re having cases that were authorized under the prior administration, stand up in court and have a commission interpretation be issued that is a 180-degree change from what they’d been arguing for that court,” said the commissioner. “I think that hurts [our] credibility as an agency.”

    Under Uyeda, who was acting SEC chair from January to April 2025, the commission dropped cases filed against Kraken, Ripple Labs, Coinbase and others in what many critics characterized as payback for the industry’s support of President Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign. Trump had promised to fire former SEC Chair Gary Gensler, under whom many of the cases were filed, “on day one” if elected. Gensler resigned the day Trump took office.

    Uyeda has been a commissioner at the SEC since 2022 and currently serves at the agency’s leadership alongside Atkins and Commissioner Hester Peirce. With Peirce’s departure expected in November, the agency will have only two of its five members on its leadership panel, and Trump has not announced any nominations for potential replacements.

  • CNN CEO Mark Thompson Addresses Donald Trump’s White House Ban, Pending Paramount Merger In Town Hall

    CNN CEO Mark Thompson Addresses Donald Trump’s White House Ban, Pending Paramount Merger In Town Hall

    CNN Worldwide CEO Mark Thompson told employees on Wednesday that the network was fighting “for our fundamental rights as both journalists and citizens” following Donald Trump’s ban on White House access.

    CNN, along with Politico and MS NOW, filed suit on Monday, challenging the president’s ban on their access as a violation of the First and Fifth amendments.

    Thompson held a town hall for employees on Wednesday morning, and, according to a source familiar with his remarks, told them, “It’s not a fight against the president, it’s not a fight against the White House, it’s fight for our fundamental rights as both journalists and citizens.” He also said that the networks “are fighting on behalf of the American people and in many ways the world in terms of the right to hold any administration or government to account.”

    The New York Times first reported on Thompson’s remarks.

    A federal judge is holding a hearing on the three outlets’ lawsuit on Wednesday afternoon.

    Thompson did not share much about Paramount‘s plans for the network, indicating that the new owner had not revealed what they want to do. He also told employees that he wants to “stay if Paramount finds me useful.” He also warned of assuming that the Paramount takeover meant that it would merge with CBS News.

    Thompson joined CNN in 2023, and has embarked on an effort to integrate its linear and digital operations, as well as launch a new streaming option via CNN All Access.

    Following a settlement on Monday of a state attorneys general lawsuit challenging the merger of Paramount with Warner Bros. Discovery, the two companies are expected to close the transaction around Oct. 1. A federal judge will hold a hearing on Thursday on a proposed consent decree.

    When completed, Paramount will be the fourth parent company to CNN in the past decade.

  • Judge Says He’ll Rule “As Soon As I Can” On Trump’s Ban On CNN, Politico And MS NOW; Expresses Concern Over Due Process

    Judge Says He’ll Rule “As Soon As I Can” On Trump’s Ban On CNN, Politico And MS NOW; Expresses Concern Over Due Process

    A federal judge said that he will rule “as soon as I can” on whether access should be restored to CNN, Politico and MS NOW after Donald Trump‘s banned them from the White House because of their coverage of him.

    The three outlets are seeking a temporary restraining order to immediately lift the ban and return their credentials.

    In a 45-minute hearing on Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly noted at the outset that he is bound by D.C. circuit precedent that sided with journalists when it comes to White House access, including a 1977 decision in Sherrill vs. Knight and a 2020 decision in Karem vs. Trump, the latter having to do with the revocation of report Brian Karem’s credentials.

    Kelly told the attorneys that, based on his reading of documents in the case, the court precedent “wasn’t followed here.”

    The judge also noted that he previously presided over a CNN lawsuit against the administration after they revoked the hard pass of its then-chief White House correspondent, Jim Acosta. Kelly ruled that his pass had to be restored because he was not given notice.

    The networks sued Trump on Monday, three days after he announced a ban on the outlets access to the White House grounds. The lawsuit claimed violation of the First Amendment and the Fifth Amendment right to due process. The latter issue — that networks were not given an opportunity to challenge the ban before it was implemented or even the reasons for it — dominated much of Kelly’s hearing.

    Theodore Boutrous Jr., representing the networks, urged the judge to act quickly on their motion for a TRO or a preliminary injunction.

    “These are urgent matters. We’re at war. We have world leaders coming to Washington,” he said, adding that “harm is irreparable. The public interest favors striking down unconstitutional acts like that.”

    Michael Velchik, senior counsel at the DOJ’s civil division, representing Trump, argued that notice was given to the networks on Tuesday, citing reporting on national security that they claimed was “publishing sensitive or classified information.” Velchik urged the judge to delay a ruling until Friday, the deadline for the networks to challenge the ban.

    But Boutrous dismissed the argument, telling the judge that “all of the sudden it is national security case,” noting that Trump initially cited negative coverage of him. He suggested that the DOJ was making a rationalization after the fact, noting that Trump didn’t even raise the issue of national security until after the networks filed their lawsuit.

    Yet even taking the DOJ’s justification into account, Boutrous said, “They are literally arguing reporters shouldn’t scrutinize national security decisions by the government.” He also noted that the Sherrill decision prohibited content-based criteria for issuing press passes.

    What’s more, the Tuesday notices to the networks didn’t just argue that the ban was due to national security. The letters to the outlets claimed “behavior in violation of the standards of professionalism and decorum,” while the letter to Politico cited as objectionable a story about Trump’s midterm convention.

    Boutrous said that what Trump was objecting to was “very essence of the First Amendment. … the president said, ‘I don’t like what you’re publishing. I’m taking away your press pass based on that.’”

    Earlier on Wednesday, the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, the White House Correspondents’ Association and dozens of news outlets, ranging from the Associated Press to Fox News, urged the judge to issue the temporary restraining order.

  • CamScanner Moves Beyond the App With the Apex 1 Pro

    CamScanner Moves Beyond the App With the Apex 1 Pro

    Scanning today exists at two ends of the spectrum. You can scan with a large, conventional scanner in an office or at home, or on the go using an app. Both have their strengths, but anyone regularly digitizing bound books or multi-page documents may want something in between. The challenge isn’t just capturing each page—it’s reducing the setup beforehand and the manual cleanup afterward.

    CamScanner, a document scanning and management platform, aims to bridge that gap with portable hardware designed to combine the efficiency of a traditional scanner with the convenience of its existing app. The CamScanner Apex 1 Pro, now available on Kickstarter, promises to give scanning an upgrade with features built to handle common frustrations.

    Standalone Operation That Plays Well With Others

    Powered by an octa-core processor, the Apex 1 Pro handles scanning and AI image correction locally without a connected computer, phone, or internet connection. Files can be saved locally to microSD, allowing users to capture and process documents on site rather than waiting until they return to their desks.

    Connectivity and storage options include USB-C, microSD, NFC, and Bluetooth. OCR support for over 50 languages helps turn scanned text into searchable content, while export options include JPG, Word, Excel, TXT, and PDF.

    When further work is needed, scans can be transferred directly to a phone through supported connections for editing directly in the CamScanner app. 

    Making Light Work of Documents on the Go

    CamScanner in action

    (CamScanner)

    Don’t be deceived by the small size of the Apex 1 Pro; it’s designed to capture a wide range of documents from long professional contracts to everyday paperwork such as receipts.

    Weighing just 1.32lb including its base, it combines a folding body, detachable base, and built-in 2000mAh battery for easy transport and use between client meetings, project sites, and temporary workspaces. No dedicated scanning mat is required, keeping setup simple wherever work takes you.

    Easily scan everyday documents in sizes like letter and legal, all the way up to tabloid, with the clarity of a 32-megapixel camera.

    Scanning a Book Without Breaking the Spine

    Digitizing a book the usual way means pressing capture for every page, then cleaning up the images afterward. The Apex 1 Pro automatically detects page turns and captures each spread. The on-device AI removes fingers and shadows from scanned images, flattens curved pages, and splits facing pages into individual digital pages in the background.

    CamScanner says the Apex 1 Pro scans at up to 40 pages per minute. Users turn the pages; the device handles capture and repetitive cleanup without a connected device or internet connection. Books remain intact, with no need to remove the binding.

    CamScanner’s Apex 1 Pro is on Kickstarter now at a week-one early bird price of $359, with shipping estimated for Feb 2027.
