SAN DIEGO , Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The law firm of Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP announces that purchasers or acquirers of Visa Inc. (NYSE: V ) publicly traded securities between November 16, 2023 and September 23, 2024 , inclusive (the "Class Period"), have until January 21, 2025 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff of the Visa class action lawsuit. Captioned Cai v. Visa Inc. , No. 24-cv-08220 (N.D. Cal.), the Visa class action lawsuit charges Visa and certain of Visa's top executives with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Visa class action lawsuit further alleges that on September 24, 2024 , the U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Visa in federal court for monopolizing the debit card payment processing market.

TORONTO — In pregame introductions, OG Anunoby was greeted with a polite round of applause as he returned to Toronto. And when RJ Barrett was introduced with all of the pomp and circumstance of a home team intro, he jumped and danced along the sideline. That mood carried over for much of the game as Barrett seemed intent on making a statement against the team that traded him away. But in the end, it was the Knicks who were jumping and celebrating after pulling out a 113-108 win at Scotiabank Arena. Barrett did his part, finishing with 30 points, eight rebounds and four assists, but the Knicks got a balanced attack topped by Karl-Anthony Towns (24 points, 15 rebounds, six assists) to survive. Jalen Brunson's four-point play with 3:03 left began a game-ending 12-4 run that gave the Knicks (15-9) the win. Mikal Bridges had 23 points and Brunson added 20 points and 11 assists. When the Knicks, clinging to a two-point lead, missed a layup, Barrett muscled the ball away from Towns, raced up the floor and hit a lefthanded layup between two defenders, tying the score at 108 with 42.1 seconds to play. But out of a timeout, Brunson was double-teamed and found Towns under the basket for a go-ahead layup with 36 seconds remaining. When Barrett got past Anunoby and challenged Towns for a layup, Anunoby blocked the shot from behind. Towns delivered a three-point field goal on a feed from Anunoby with 6.3 seconds to play, and this time the Knicks celebrated as wildly as Barrett did at the start of the game. With just over a minute left in the third quarter, Brunson backed up toward the sideline after draining a three-point field goal and appeared to step on a fan’s foot. He left the game when the Knicks called time and headed to the locker room. He returned to the bench early in the fourth quarter and re-entered the game with 6:35 left and the Knicks trailing 97-95. Josh Hart gave the Knicks the lead with a corner three-pointer after a steal. The Raptors briefly took the lead back before Towns drained a three on a feed from Brunson for a 101-99 advantage. With the score tied at 101 after Barrett's drive, Barrett drove and found Davion Mitchell in the corner for a three-pointer with 3:30 remaining. Brunson answered with a three of his own, drawing a foul on Mitchell on the play and converting the four-point play to give the Knicks a 105-104 lead with 3:03 left. Mitchell gave Toronto the lead, but Towns found Bridges in the corner for a go-ahead three-pointer. This meant something for Barrett. As he prepared to take the court for the Raptors against his former team on Monday night, he sat at his locker and paused for a moment as he considered a question. He thought back through his years in New York and realized that not a single player on the Knicks had been with the team when he arrived in the 2019 NBA Draft. Back then, he was supposed to be the next big thing in New York, the No. 3 overall pick and a turning point for a franchise that had been floundering for years. The Knicks built around him, and then nearly a year ago — Dec. 30, 2023 — he got the call that he was gone. And despite the history there, the key role he’d played, he wasn’t surprised at all. “Lots of stuff,” Barrett said, shaking his head. “Lots of stuff. I think I just got a vibe, kind of figured. I wasn’t really too surprised when it happened.” He was the first of the group that had carried the team to respectability to go, dealt along with Immanuel Quickley to his hometown team in exchange for OG Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa and Malachi Flynn. Julius Randle and Donte DiVincenzo eventually followed him out the door in a preseason deal for Towns — and that didn’t surprise him either. “Nah, I think there’s certain things that you see that are out of the usual,” Barrett said. “But I think whenever you get traded, it is a surprise. I didn’t know when it would happen, that fast, that early, but it happened. I’m here and I’m thankful to be here.'' Notes & quotes: With 6:47 to play in the third quarter, Towns and Scottie Barnes collided on a foul by Barnes. Towns was slow to get up, flexing his right knee. Barnes had to be helped off by teammates, limping to the locker room on one leg. He did not return, diagnosed with a sprained right ankle. Steve Popper covers the Knicks for Newsday.

By the time the next US election rolls around, this will expand to Americans under 45, the majority of voters. Liberals can account for this a hundred different ways, but the reality is, you play the cards you’re dealt. This narrative, of the Democrats being associated with a middling or stressful economic climate, is in danger of settling into place. The only real way to break out of this is to be broadly relatable enough during elections when the economy is performing OK – which involves learning how to be populist and appealing to voters on their own terms, without the flaky excesses that turn so many people off. Here are the top four reasons American liberalism is failing. Liberal reliance on demographic change Liberal hosts and commentators on cable news have opined for years that conservative voters cannot accept demographic change, are struggling to reckon with their dwindling political and cultural dominance and that the Republican election victory in 2016 was a “primal scream” and an “aberration” rather than a considered choice. Liberalism has, for years, counted on the idea that demographic change would ultimately lead to a liberal cultural and political ascendancy - after all, minorities have always leant heavily toward the Democratic party, and in the long view, the right's base of “white reactionary grievance” would become untenably small and give way. Liberalism needs to abandon this conceited idea of demographically running down the clock, because the loyalty of diverse groups they've always taken for granted no longer exists. New York Times estimates, based on demographic data and election results, show changes in voting preference since 2012. The black vote has declined from +91 per cent Democratic, to +72 per cent, showing a growth for the Republicans of +19 per cent. The Hispanic vote has declined from Democratic +39 per cent to +10 per cent, with growth for the Republicans of +29 per cent. Among Asian voters, the decline is Democratic +35 per cent to +18 per cent, for a Republican gain of +17 per cent. Liberal commentators also underestimated conservative white voters, the demographic they had taken to framing as being on the wrong side of history. White voters with no college degree have expanded from Republican + 24 per cent, to Republican +36 per cent, for a net improvement, in voting preference, of Republican +13 per cent. Lastly, minority voting preferences along the same lines, non-white voters with no degree, has seen a shift to the Republicans of +37 per cent. Liberals have failed to account for cultural assimilation, the extent to which many migrants come to think of themselves primarily as integrated, that they are willing to vote according to their values and aspirations on their own terms, separate from their community’s affiliations or historic loyalties - that economic and culture-war dynamics play a larger role than liberals and Democratic operatives have been willing to concede, and that increasing numbers of young black men are drawn to notions of aspiration and personal freedom to an extent that ultimately supersedes other issues that once aligned them with the Democrats. Liberals won't police the flakier excesses of liberalism Prominent voices in the political establishment, and in entertainment, have been negligent in failing to call out the prissier and strident elements of liberalism - the academic contrivances, the preoccupation with DEI and the gender-identity minutiae. Instead, liberalism tends to indulge these flakier excesses, because they might represent the vanguard of progressivism and what might eventually become tolerant prevailing attitudes. Voices in entertainment media have their share of the blame. A figure such as Stephen Colbert, host of ‘The Late Show’, is a multiple Peabody award winner and an astute comedian, but he fails to make the connection that these flakier excesses on the left might also be ripe for satire, and that doing so would send a cultural message that such excesses will not go unchallenged or be indulged. The issue is, he and others like him, are also driven by a humanist impulse, that culture war flare-ups often involve socio-cultural underdogs who might be vulnerable due to perceived prejudice and that satire would therefore be, in some sense, meanspirited. The disconnect, and failure, here, is that without having these flakier excesses subjected to scrutiny - some defended, some let-slide, others disparaged, liberalism cannot become more honed and sharpened – and certainly not more relatable. Liberalism needs to lose the attitude toward men When it comes to white men, liberalism has an attitude. And if it doesn't acknowledge this attitude, it will fail to make progress. For many liberals, “straight white men” is more or less a mordant epithet. That is no longer going to work. The term 'toxic masculinity,' is stale. It is also played out for celebrity actresses to post maundering, circuitous monologues about how their show or movie had the knees knocked out from under it by reactionary "hyper-conservative bigotry" poisoning the narrative online. Entertainment is a market, where consumers can spend their discretionary income however they please, and when a show or film bombs, or the viewing figures no longer justify the production costs, then it is no longer good enough to ascribe such sway to a faction of a fanbase, especially if, in the weeks prior to release, advocates of the show dismissed such misgivings or gripes by saying: “If you don't like it, don't watch it: it wasn't made for you.” The attitude toward white men in liberalism isn't necessarily overt, rather a muted approach to engagement, a vague sense of irresolution in campaign materials and themes involving men, in particular white men and most especially, straight white men. The 2024 Democratic National Convention was suffused with a spirit of “joy”, an ebullience that the DNC failed to comprehend is actually extremely unappealing and uncool to mainstream men. Liberalism has too much of a social-constructivist bent - i.e., seeing gender differences as constructed by society and therefore seeing the idea of gender differences, in temperament and proclivities, as a dubious old way of stalling gender parity, and should be phased out. This has led to a disconnect, liberalism neglecting or failing to acknowledge the proclivities men actually have - less emotional demonstrativeness (without that being a bad thing) risk-taking entrepreneurial competitiveness, and a sharp ear for pretence. Assuming that subduing gender differences, and more emotional intelligence are the ideal path, liberalism has barrelled on, irrespective of the widening disconnect. You can't succeed in outreach to men, if they feel you have an attitude toward masculine identity. If liberalism doesn't temper its social constructivism, it won't make progress. Liberalism is starting to lose more culture war battles than it is winning If you thought the reactionaries were callous and unhinged in attacking ‘Bud Light’ for its commercial tie-in with TikTok personality Dylan Mulvaney - sorry, you lost. If you rolled your eyes at the Philistine uptightness of reactionaries when they mocked the new Jaguar commercial - sorry, you're in the wrong, and you lost. If you supported the attempted boycott of the video game Hogwarts Legacy because of JK Rowling's financial windfall as the property's owner, then sorry, but the boycott was utterly overlooked and buried under a stampede of appreciate mainstream gamers who revelled in the game. Cancel culture has lost its force and momentum, as there is no-longer consensus about controversial figures, and any supposed transgressor can simply redistribute and realign their persona and career to a receptive audience elsewhere in the culture. Liberalism, as mentioned before, lacks shrewdness in being able to pick its battles. Without developing this shrewdness, it won't make progress.

"Make no mistake, we will get to grips with the bulging benefits bill blighting our society," the prime minister said in an op-ed in the Mail on Sunday newspaper. Starmer's Labour is under pressure to balance the country's spending and boost growth after returning from over a decade out of power.
