This Day in Legal History: Ratification of the Bill of Rights by New JerseyOn November 20, 1789, New Jersey became the first state to ratify the Bill of Rights, a landmark moment in American constitutional history. Just months after the U.S. Constitution went into effect, debate over its lack of explicit protections for individual liberties sparked calls for amendments. Responding to this concern, James Madison introduced a series of proposed amendments in the First Congress in June 1789, aiming to ease Anti-Federalist fears and solidify support for the new federal government. Congress approved twelve amendments on September 25, 1789, and sent them to the states for ratification.New Jersey acted swiftly, ratifying eleven of the twelve proposed amendments less than two months later. The state rejected the first proposed amendment, which concerned congressional representation, and accepted the rest, including protections for freedom of speech, religion, the press, the right to bear arms, and safeguards against unreasonable searches and seizures. New Jersey's early endorsement gave momentum to the broader ratification effort, which required approval by three-fourths of the states.By December 15, 1791, ten of the amendments had been ratified by the necessary eleven states and became known as the Bill of Rights. These provisions would become foundational to American legal doctrine, judicial interpretation, and civil liberties jurisprudence. New Jersey's rapid ratification also signaled the willingness of smaller states to embrace a constitutional framework that better balanced federal power with individual protections.The ratification process itself reflected the structural legal mechanism required to alter the Constitution—Article V mandates both congressional proposal and state approval. This episode demonstrates how early American legal institutions navigated public pressure and political compromise to create durable legal norms. The Bill of Rights remains central to constitutional interpretation today, frequently invoked in court cases involving speech, privacy, and due process.A group of senior judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has recently influenced several rulings on politically sensitive cases, softening the conservative tone of one of the nation's most right-leaning appellate courts. These judges, many appointed decades ago by presidents like Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, were part of three-judge panels that struck down or allowed challenges to laws involving religion in schools, drag shows on campus, and firearm signage. However, these decisions are now set for reconsideration by the court's full active bench in January, as part of a growing trend of en banc rehearings.The Fifth Circuit includes 17 active judges and seven senior judges. While senior judges can still hear cases and author opinions, their influence is ultimately limited because active judges control en banc reviews, which can overturn panel rulings. Most of these upcoming en banc cases saw dissents from Trump-appointed judges at the panel level. Some senior judges, like Edith Brown Clement, are conservative and remain highly active, while others like James Dennis and Patrick Higginbotham are known for their moderate or liberal views and are key voices in current and upcoming decisions.Legal experts say senior judges' experience and moderation often make them more willing to adhere to precedent rather than pursue ideological shifts. Their dissents and opinions can also help signal to the U.S. Supreme Court that a case warrants review. With an increase in ideologically charged cases on topics like immigration and free speech, the Fifth Circuit's internal dynamics reflect a broader national tension between judicial restraint and a more activist, conservative legal agenda.Full Fifth Circuit Overrides Moderate Senior Judges' RulingsThe Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) has asked a federal court to enforce a subpoena against the University of Pennsylvania as part of an ongoing investigation into alleged antisemitic harassment. The EEOC's request was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and stems from a charge initiated in December 2023 by Republican-appointed Chair Andrea Lucas. The agency is seeking documents and information identifying victims and witnesses to reported religious-based harassment affecting faculty and staff.The investigation centers on claims that the university failed to adequately respond to internal complaints of antisemitism. The EEOC under Lucas—particularly during and after the first Trump administration—has prioritized enforcement actions related to religious discrimination, with higher education institutions facing increased scrutiny. Penn has not yet issued a public response regarding the subpoena or the broader investigation.EEOC Seeks UPenn Information Disclosure in Antisemitism ProbeCryptocurrency exchange Kraken announced that it has confidentially filed for an initial public offering (IPO) in the United States. The move positions Kraken among several digital asset firms seeking to go public amid renewed investor interest in the crypto sector. Other companies like Circle and Gemini have also made progress toward U.S. listings this year.Kraken recently reported a $20 billion valuation in its latest fundraising round, marking a 33% increase over the past two months. While the company did not disclose specific details about the IPO structure or timeline, the filing indicates growing momentum for digital finance firms in public markets.Crypto exchange Kraken confidentially files for US IPO | ReutersThe U.S. government has loaned Constellation Energy $1 billion to restart a nuclear reactor at the former Three Mile Island site in Pennsylvania. The project, now called the Crane Clean Energy Center, involves reviving an 835-megawatt reactor that was shut down in 2019. Constellation entered a partnership with Microsoft in 2024 to help offset the tech company's energy use, especially for power-intensive data centers. The reactor's restart reflects rising energy demand tied to emerging technologies like artificial intelligence.The Department of Energy's Loan Programs Office (LPO) issued the loan to help lower financing costs and encourage private investment. Officials emphasized that nuclear energy offers stable, carbon-free baseload power critical for both grid reliability and climate goals. While Constellation is financially strong enough to obtain private funding, the administration said public support signals a national commitment to clean and dependable energy infrastructure.The plant still needs regulatory approvals, including from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Constellation has already begun hiring workers, inspecting systems, and ordering essential equipment. The company now expects the reactor to come online by 2027, a year ahead of the original timeline due to an accelerated grid connection review.US loans Constellation $1 billion for Three Mile Island reactor reboot | Reuters This is a public episode.

Constellation Energy, Merck, Mattel, Dollar General, NIO y CloudeStrike, bajo la lupa de Rafael Ojeda, analista independiente.

US President Donald Trump has signed a series of executive orders titled Reinvigorating the Nuclear Industrial Base, Reforming Nuclear Reactor Testing at the Department of Energy and Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission with the goal of "re-establishing the United States as the global leader in nuclear energy".The aim is to increase US nuclear energy capacity from 100GW to 400GW by 2050, including the Department of Energy (DOE) prioritising work "with the nuclear energy industry to facilitate 5 gigawatt of power uprates to existing nuclear reactors and have 10 new large reactors with complete designs under construction by 2030".Explanations of each of the executive orders was given as they were presented to the president to add his signature in the Oval Office. In this episode we play pretty much the whole of that event. As well as the US President, you'll hear from Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum, who is also Chairman of the National Energy Dominance Council, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Joe Dominguez, CEO of Constellation Energy, Maria Korsnick, CEO of the Nuclear energy Institute, Jacob DeWitte, founder and CEO of Oklo and Scott Nolan of uranium enrichment company General Matter.World Nuclear News's Claire Maden drills into more of the detail of the announcements, and Jonathan Cobb, senior programme lead, climate, at World Nuclear Association then assesses the broader implications of the US adopting the goal of quadrupling its nuclear energy capacity.Key links to find out more:World Nuclear NewsReinvigorating the Nuclear Industrial BaseNuclear Reactor Testing at the Department of Energy Ordering the Reform of the Nuclear Regulatory CommissionEmail newsletter:Sign up to the World Nuclear News daily or weekly news round-upsContact info:alex.hunt@world-nuclear.orgEpisode credit:  Presenter Alex Hunt.

Today we had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Francesco Sassi for a wide-ranging discussion on global energy and geopolitics. Francesco is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Oslo and previously served as a Research Fellow in energy geopolitics and markets at Ricerche Industriali ed Energetiche (RIE). Francesco holds a Ph.D. in Political Science – Geopolitics from the University of Pisa, where he focused his research on the Sino-Russian gas interdependence. We were drawn to his straightforward analysis, insightful commentary, and use of maps to bring complex dynamics to life. We were thrilled to visit with Francesco and learn from his perspective. In our conversation, we explore the rise of political risk in energy markets and the growing global interdependence of the energy system, driven by factors such as China's increasing influence in shaping energy geopolitics, new interdependencies created by energy technology, trade and manufacturing, as well as disruptions like COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war. We examine Russian gas volumes to Europe, Spain's leadership in clean energy and the implications of its recent blackout, and the dual forces shaping Europe: rising cross-border interconnectivity projects alongside increasing energy nationalism. We touch on President Trump's recent visit to the Middle East, which is part of broader interest in energy and AI investment in the region, OPEC+ strategy, market share pressures, and the impact of low oil prices on Russia. Francesco shares his perspective on the potential for a Putin-Zelensky meeting, tensions between India and Pakistan, and how energy policy is becoming increasingly central to electoral platforms in Europe. We turn to Argentina's recent progress under President Milei, Israeli investment in lithium extraction technology in Argentina's lithium triangle, and how energy and mineral resources are increasingly being used as tools of foreign policy and geopolitical leverage. We close with Francisco's thoughts on the growing power of energy as a force shaping international relations and global industrial strategy. It was a dynamic and insightful conversation. Mike Bradley kicked off the discussion by noting that broader markets rallied substantially on Monday following news that China and the U.S. have agreed to a “tentative” tariff deal. Broader equity markets (S&P 500) have completely retraced their losses since Trump's April 2nd Day of Liberation and are now up slightly (+4%). Meanwhile, the S&P Volatility Index has plunged from its April 8th tariff volatility highs and is now trading near YTD lows, something to be monitored closely as any surprise event could send broader markets lower. On the bond market front, the 10yr bond yield is trading sideways even though April CPI came in lower than expected. PPI will be released on Wednesday and if it too prints lower than expected, it could provide room for the Fed to begin cutting rates at their June 18th FOMC meeting. On the crude oil front, WTI price has rebounded nicely over the past week and now trades at ~$63/bbl. Oil traders remain focused on future OPEC+ production increases and increasingly on whether U.S. E&Ps will begin altering their 2025 capex plans at these lower prices levels. He wrapped up with a look at key events this week, notably NRG Energy's acquisition of LS Power's portfolio of natural gas generation assets (~13gw for ~$12 billion). The move follows Constellation Energy's mid-January deal to acquire Calpine Corp. and demonstrates that both companies are positioning themselves for an acceleration in electricity growth this decade. Many thanks to Francesco for sharing his time and insights with us today. We hope you enjoy the discussion as much as we did! Our best to you all.

Y después de tanto tiempo llegó el día. Warren Buffet anunció el sábado que tras 60 años, deja el cargo de CEO de la compañía. El Oráculo de Omaha aprovechó la cita anual con los accionistas para anunciar el esperado adiós. Aunque señaló que no se va a desentender del todo de Berkshire Hathaway, ya que como indicó “todavía seguiré por aquí y posiblemente seré útil en algunos casos”. Su sustituto ya está claro o por lo menos el más deseado por Buffet. Greg Abel es el caballo ganador del inversor multimillonario. Y es que era el sucesor designado desde 2021, pero el anuncio le sorprendió igual que al resto del mercado. En sus manos queda el futuro de una empresa que Buffet ha convertido en uno de los gigantes de la inversión. Para Munesh Melwani, Socio Fundador de Cross Capital, una de las claves de la gran dimensión que obtuvo Buffet con Berkshire es la asociación que ha tenido en los últimos cincuenta años con Charlie Munger, vicepresidente de la compañía muchos años y él que es considerado como el principal socio del Oráculo de Omaha. En cambio para Luis García, gestor de MAPFRE AM, lo que explica el éxito del multimillonario es la transición que hizo del Value. Aunque el sábado no fue sólo el día de la sorpresiva despedida de Buffet. Berkshire Hathaway presentó resultados, unos resultados con unos beneficios decepcionantes. Estos se fueron hasta los 4600 millones de dólares, un 64% menos que el año pasado. Y es que la compañía sigue reduciendo sus ventas netas de acciones fueron de 1500 millones de dólares. ¿Cómo están ahora estructuradas sus inversiones? La empresa tenía una liquidez de 350.000 millones de dólares, de los cuales 300.000 han ido para bonos de tesoro. Aunque Buffet reconoció que la compañía estuvo a punto de invertir 10.000 millones en los últimos días. Sabemos los resultados y quién lo sustituye pero ¿Quién es Greg Abel? Nacido en Canadá, en 1992 empezó su andadura en PricewaterhouseCoopers. Después pasó a Mid American Energy, que fue al tiempo adquirida por Berkshire y que supuso la llegada a la empresa. Uno de los puntos más chocantes es que a Warren Buffet no le convencía Greg Abel en un principio. David Sokol, CEO de Mid American, convenció tanto a Buffet como a Munger de la valía de Abel. El Oráculo de Omaha es conocido por aprovechar los momentos de crisis para conseguir grandes inversiones. Eso es lo que hizo también Abel con la crisis de 2008. Gracias a la cancelación de Constellation Energy, que en vez de con Berkshire se fue con EDP, Mid American consiguió 1.000 millones de dólares de indemnización. Así comenzaron las andaduras de Abel hasta convertirse en lo que es hoy: la inversión más valiosa de Warren Buffet.

If you're interested in having a meaningful EA career but your experience doesn't match the types of jobs that the typical white collar, intellectual EA community leans towards, then you're just like me. I have been earning to give as a nuclear power plant operator in Southern Maryland for the past few years, and I think it's a great opportunity for other EA's who want to make a difference but don't have a PhD in philosophy or public policy. Additionally, I have personal sway with Constellation Energy's Calvert Cliffs plant, so I can influence the hiring process to help any interested applicants. Here are a few reasons that I think this is such an ideal Earn to Give career: A high income job in a low cost of living area means you will be able to donate a significant portion of your paychecks and still live comfortably.

Another morning of stocks under pressure – after the S&P and NASDAQ's worst week of 2025 so far. Carl Quintanilla, Leslie Picker, and Michael Santoli broke down the latest with BMO's Chief Investment Strategist: who says don't let your feelings take control here. He still expects 10% gains on the S&P this year. A key part of the weakness? Big tech names selling off. Tesla now the worst performing stock on the S&P 500 YTD, and coming off its worst weekly losing streak EVER – why Baird still calls it a buy here. Plus: a look at Elon Musk's growing empire in China – and the latest on Apple, as the company delays AI enhancements for Siri… Are fears overblown at these levels? Also in focus: the CEO of Constellation Energy, talking the future of alternative energy at CERAWEEK; Why Novo's new trial data is sending shares slumping; Bitcoin falls below $80k; and how to trade China stocks here, as the country's retaliatory tariffs on U.S. Agricultural imports begins Squawk on the Street Disclaimer

We're experimenting and would love to hear from you!In this episode of ‘Discover Daily', we explore groundbreaking developments in AI technology and their far-reaching implications. Leading the headlines is Google's release of Gemini 2.0, introducing three powerful models - Flash, Pro, and Flash-Lite - each tailored for specific use cases and offering enhanced performance capabilities. We also delve into how the EU's Digital Markets Act is reshaping the iOS app landscape, with the controversial release of Hot Tub marking a significant shift in Apple's traditionally strict content policies.Our main story focuses on DeepSeek's revolutionary R1 AI model, which promises to transform the energy sector with its unprecedented efficiency gains. This Chinese startup's innovation has triggered a dramatic sell-off in energy stocks, with major players like Constellation Energy and Vistra experiencing substantial declines. The development challenges previous assumptions about AI's growing energy demands and could potentially reshape the future of data center infrastructure and power consumption patterns.The implications of DeepSeek's breakthrough extend beyond immediate market reactions, potentially accelerating the transition to renewable energy sources and forcing a reassessment of planned energy infrastructure expansions. With current projections suggesting AI-driven data centers could consume up to 12% of U.S. electricity demand by 2028, this efficiency breakthrough could fundamentally alter the trajectory of energy consumption in the tech sector and influence how companies approach their sustainability goals.From Perplexity's Discover Feed:https://www.perplexity.ai/page/google-s-gemini-2-0-now-availa-.jZH0lMHSSWdnsRf4nHWxwhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/first-iphone-porn-app-controve-v6tz6uHVTfu.3v6lWPmeAwhttps://www.perplexity.ai/page/deepseek-upends-energy-industr-Ce9aHa1nSZyHcFbXWnCTrQ Perplexity is the fastest and most powerful way to search the web.

Il sistema bancario italiano è in fermento. Dopo il tentativo di Unicredit di acquisire Commerzbank e Banco Bpm e quello di Banca Ifis di rilevare Illimity, ora è Monte dei Paschi di Siena a lanciare un offerta su Mediobanca. Il brutto anatroccolo vuole comprarsi la più blasonata delle banche italiane. La potenziale fusione di Mps-Mediobanca, rispetto alle altre operazioni, però, ha un carattere più strategico. Infatti, il gruppo senese è sostanzialmente una banca commerciale, mentre Mediobanca è una banca private e un investment-bank, con una ingombrante partecipazione: Assicurazioni Generali.Fatto sta che oggi si è tenuto il cda di Mediobanca e Piazzetta Cuccia ha risposto stizzita ricordando anche gli interessi incrociati dei due protagonisti dell'operazione: Caltagirone e Delfin. Il cda «rigetta» l offerta pubblica di scambio «non concordata» di Mps, ritenuta «fortemente distruttiva di valore». Lo si legge in una nota dell istituto guidato da Alberto Nagel. «L Offerta non è stata concordata ed è da ritenersi ostile e contraria agli interessi di Mediobanca». Facciamo chiarezza con Luca Davi, Il Sole 24 Ore.Deepseek, momento Sputnik cinese o caos programmato? Un'intelligenza artificiale low cost di pechino nella giornata di ieri ha fatto crollare il Nasdaq e innescato un piccolo terremoto nel settore hi tech negli USA nella giornata di ieri. 1000 miliardi bruciati in un giorno. Su8lla scia dei risultati sorprendenti dell'app Deepseek, il colosso dei microchip Nvidia ha perso oltre il 17% in Borsa. In rosso sono finiti a Wall Street Broadcom (-16%), Microsoft (-4%), Micron (-8%) e Advanced Micro Devices (-5%). Sotto pressione Constellation Energy (-12%) e Vistra (-19%), impegnati in progetti energetici per IA. Al contrario, le aziende cinesi collegate a DeepSeek, tra cui Zhejiang Orient Holdings e Zhuhai Huajin Capital, sono salite del 10%. L'app cinese potrebbe rappresentare il momento Sputnik dell'intelligenza artificiale. Questa start up cinese, nata come spin off del fondo di investimento High-Flyer, ha rilasciato un chatbot che ha messo in discussione la leadership occidentale (o meglio, americana) nel settore dell'AI, sgretolando certezze su una presunta superiorità tecnologica che ora potrebbe essere più difficile da dimostrare. Cerchiamo di capirne di più con l'intervento di Biagio Simonetta, Il Sole 24 Ore e Nicola Gatti, professore ordinario in ingegneria informatica del politecnico di Milano e direttore del centro di ateneo per la ricerca e innovazione in intelligenza artificiale.

Carl Quintanilla, Jim Cramer and David Faber explored market reaction to the stronger-than-expected December jobs report: The results sent stocks down sharply and yields higher on concerns the Fed might not cut rates later this month. Shares of Delta and Walgreens surged on the companies' respective earnings beats.

Carl Quintanilla, Sara Eisen and David Faber broke down this morning's blowout Jobs Report with Senior Economics Reporter Steve Liesman, alongside Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee, who says inflation remains sticky – so investors might need to wait for more rate cuts ahead.   The team also got the latest from California – with a live read from the ground in Altadena, alongside a check-in with one of California's Fire Battalion Chiefs. Analysts out of JPMorgan now estimating the Palisades blaze could be the costliest fire in U-S history at more than $20B.   Plus: a deep dive on energy with the CEO of Constellation Energy, as those shares surge on a new deal announcement with Calpine – combining two of the country's largest power generators amid surging demand.   

Anthony Crowdell of Mizuho set a neutral rating for Constellation Energy (CEG) as companies like Microsoft (MSFT) turn to nuclear power for A.I.'s electrical demand. He argues a lack of plans for new nuclear plants make it difficult to see a sustainable future for the alternative energy. CFRA's Daniel Rich has a buy rating at his firm, believing Constellation Energy and Microsoft's deal can open other doors for alternative power in A.I. ======== Schwab Network ======== Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

The Three Mile Island nuclear power plant, site of the worst nuclear accident in U.S. history, could reopen in 2028. The plant's owner, Constellation Energy, signed a deal with Microsoft that would allocate 100% of the plant's power output to the tech company. Constellation is seeking a $1.6 billion federal loan guarantee to get the plant up and running. Microsoft hopes the power generated by the facility will help fuel the increasing energy needs of AI. It's estimated that by 2030, 17% of the U.S. energy output could be going to data centers used by tech companies to power AI. On today's “Post Reports,” host Martine Powers speaks with reporter Evan Halper about how AI is reshaping the energy landscape in the U.S., and about the potential benefits and dangers of reopening Three Mile Island. One other story mentioned in today's episode: see how climate change could be affecting the price of your home. Today's show was produced by Peter Bresnan, with help from Emma Talkoff.

Ralph welcomes Middle East expert and executive VP of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, Trita Parsi, to fill us in on the consequences of Israel boobytrapping pagers and walkie-talkies in Lebanon and how those tactics have the potential to blow back on us in the United States. Then we welcome back surgeon and humanitarian, Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, who has worked in Gaza during the Israeli assault, to update us on his efforts to get the Biden Administration to convince Israel to stop the killing. Trita Parsi is the executive vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, and the co-founder and former President of the National Iranian American Council. He is an expert on US-Iranian relations, Iranian foreign policy, and the geopolitics of the Middle East, and has worked for the Swedish Permanent Mission to the UN, where he served in the Security Council, handling the affairs of Afghanistan, Iraq, Tajikistan, and Western Sahara, and in the General Assembly's Third Committee, addressing human rights in Iran, Afghanistan, Myanmar, and Iraq. He has authored three books on US foreign policy in the Middle East, with a particular focus on Iran and Israel— Treacherous Alliance: The Secret Dealings of Iran, Israel and the United States, A Single Roll of the Dice – Obama's Diplomacy with Iran, and Losing an Enemy: Obama, Iran and the Triumph of Diplomacy.We're in a very sad situation in which we have a president who has been sitting on the front lines of American foreign policy for one-fifth of America's history, who thinks that he knows everything best, and clearly doesn't seem to be listening to anyone. And there's plenty of discontent inside the Biden administration itself—and people appear to have just given up and are waiting for the elections—but there's no clear signs yet that there won't necessarily be much of a change even after that.Trita ParsiLet's first remember that if any other entity had done this to Israel—or to us—we would not have hesitated for a second. We would have called it an act of terrorism, and we would have called it an act of war.Trita ParsiDr. Feroze Sidhwa is a trauma and critical care surgeon as well as a Northern California Veterans Affairs general surgeon, and he is Associate Professor of Surgery at the California Northstate University College of Medicine. Dr. Sidhwa served at the European Hospital in Khan Younis in March and April of this year, and he has done prior humanitarian work in Haiti, the West Bank, Ukraine, and Zimbabwe. Dr. Sidhwa and 45 other American doctors and nurses who have served in Gaza recently sent a letter exhorting President Biden, VP Harris, and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden to effect an immediate ceasefire.It's hard to appreciate, but really literally everything in Gaza that makes a place a society has been destroyed. I think of it in three levels— at the very base is agriculture, food production, and housing, at the level above that is healthcare, and at the level above that is things that are for a higher level of society, education, arts, industry, whatever. That top level is gone. Literally every university in Gaza has been obliterated, physically destroyed…The hospital system is almost completely useless right now…the functionality of the hospitals is very little more than a four walled space in which people can walk into and ask for a doctor to put bandages on them. And then even the lowest level…something like 85 or 90 % of the water sanitation and hygiene infrastructure in Gaza has been destroyed.Dr. Feroze SidhwaThis is just outrageous. I mean, why are we doing this even to ourselves? Is it worth corrupting the entire executive department of the United States so that we can murder more children? Is that what Americans want? I don't think so.Dr. Feroze SidhwaLet's talk about Lebanon itself, not just Hezbollah. This is war on Lebanon—that has a dysfunctional government, to be sure— but it is a state that the U.S. is allied with in a way, supplying modest weapons to the Lebanese army, and France has had long relations with Lebanon going back to the mandate period. In the U.S., this is a whole new constituency where they're losing relatives and friends.Ralph NaderMore links to the letter sent by Dr. Sidhwa and his colleagues:To Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in CanadaTo Prime Minister Keir Starmer in the UKHow to email the PresidentHow to call the PresidentWrite or Call the White HouseIn Case You Didn't Hear with Francesco DeSantisNews 9/25/241. On September 11th, Senator Patty Murray and Progressive Caucus Chair Pramila Jayapal sent a letter to the Biden administration demanding “an immediate, transparent, credible, and thorough independent U.S. investigation…into the killing of [Ayşenur] Eygi,” the American citizen murdered by Israeli forces during a protest in the West Bank. Senator Murray and Representative Jayapal both represent Washington state, where Ms. Eygi attended university. In this letter, Murray and Jayapal also list the numerous American citizens killed by Israeli soldiers even before the current explosion of tensions in the region, ranging from Rachel Corrie in 2003 to Shireen Abu Akleh in 2022. Senator Bernie Sanders echoed this call in his own statement on September 13th. Despite this pressure, the administration has not launched an investigation. The government of Turkey however – where Ms. Eygi was born, though she moved the United States when she was less than a year old – will pursue charges against Israel in the International Criminal Court and International Court of Justice, Reuters reports.2. The Intercept reports that the Uncommitted Movement will not endorse Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign. In their official statement, the Movement leaders write “Vice President Harris's unwillingness to shift on unconditional weapons policy or to even make a clear campaign statement in support of upholding existing U.S. and international human rights law has made it impossible for us to endorse her.” Harris proved unwilling to even meet with the Uncommitted leaders. This cold shoulder could have disastrous consequences, particularly in Michigan where Uncommitted garnered over 100,000 votes in the Democratic primaries.3. Boeing is again in crisis. On September 20th, the New York Post reported that the chief of the company's space unit, Ted Colbert, had been ousted after Boeing's Starliner capsule left astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore stranded on the International Space Station. This comes amid a massive strike by Boeing machinists, 96% of whom voted in favor of the strike per Ryan Simms of KOMO News. The New York Post adds that Boeing's shares have lost over 40% of their value so far this year.4. In more union related news, on September 18th, the Congressional Workers Union announced that “staff in the Office of Congressman Mark Pocan and Congresswoman Val Hoyle secured the first-ever Memorandums of Understanding…between congressional staff and their members.” These MOUs include salary increases, back pay, and immediate cost-of-living adjustments. The union will continue to press for the first ever Congressional office collective bargaining agreement.5. On September 12th, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau “filed a proposed order against student loan servicer Navient for its years of failures and lawbreaking.” If approved by the court, this order would permanently “remove Navient from a market where it, among other illegal actions, steered numerous student loan borrowers into costly repayment options…illegally deprived student borrowers of opportunities to enroll in more affordable income-driven repayment plans and forced them to pay much more than they should have.” Additionally, Navient would be forced to pay out $100 million to harmed borrowers, on top of a $20 million penalty. CFPB Director Rohit Chopra is quoted saying “For years, Navient's top executives profited handsomely by exploiting students and taxpayers…By banning the notorious student loan giant from federal student loan servicing and ensuring the winddown of these operations, the CFPB will finally put an end to the years of abuse.” Navient, formerly Sallie Mae, is described as “a repeat offender with a long history of regulatory violations,” and when the CFPB first took legal action against the company in 2017, it was the largest student loan servicer in the country.6. More Perfect Union's Jordan Zakarin reports the National Labor Relations Board has ruled that Starbucks illegally closed all three of its Ithaca, New York locations and that the NLRB “ordered that those stores be re-opened, with the unionized staff re-hired and given 16 months of backpay.” Yet, Zakarin notes that because this was decided by an administrative law judge, Starbucks can and more than likely will appeal this decision. This case starkly exemplifies why the capitalist class feels so threatened by the newly reinvigorated NLRB.7. A deeply disturbing story sheds light on sexual assault by CIA officers in postings around the world. The AP reports Brian Jeffrey Raymond, a longtime CIA agent, was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for drugging, photographing, and sexually assaulting more than two dozen women in postings around the globe. Yet Raymond's case is just the tip of the iceberg. “[A]nother veteran CIA officer faces…charges in Virginia for allegedly reaching up a co-worker's skirt and forcibly kissing her during a drunken party in the office…Still another former CIA employee…is scheduled to face a jury trial next month on charges he assaulted a woman…at the agency's Langley, Virginia, headquarters. That case emboldened some two dozen women to come forward to authorities and Congress with accounts of their own of sexual assaults, unwanted touching and what they contend are the CIA's efforts to silence them.” Tellingly, even Raymond's own attorneys contended that his “quasi-military” work at the CIA in the years following 9/11 contributed to his “emotional callousness [and] objectification of other people,” that led to his preying upon women. It is well worth remembering that, once set in motion, dehumanization is not easily stopped.8. Amid an expansive corruption probe in New York City, Gothamist reports just how much the NYPD is receiving in overtime pay in the subway; whereas last year, this slice of overtime pay totaled $4 million in taxpayer money, this year it has ballooned to $155 million, a nearly 4,000% increase. Meanwhile the Mayor continues to slash budgets for essential city services, such as libraries.9. Rolling Stone reports the Crypto lobby is spending gargantuan sums of money to take out Ohio Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown – reportedly $32 million by the end of September, or $800,000 per day. Aware that their cause is unpopular, they are not running pro-Crypto ads, but instead spots that say his opponent will stop “illegal immigrants from taking Ohio's tax dollars.” As Luke Goldstein of the American Prospect puts it “Dems are getting played like a fiddle by crypto; Schumer caved to their demands to stop the bleeding and then crypto PACs said thanks we're still dropping $32 mil in OH to knock out your senate majority.”10. Finally, in a story featuring a dizzying array of the worst things imaginable, Bloomberg reports “The owner of the shuttered Three Mile Island nuclear plant in Pennsylvania will invest $1.6 billion to revive it, agreeing to sell all the output to Microsoft…as the tech titan seeks…electricity for data centers to power [AI].” This story notes that “one of the site's two units permanently closed almost a half-century ago after the worst…nuclear accident” in American history, but Constellation Energy is “planning to reopen the other reactor, which shut in 2019 because it couldn't compete economically.” In other words, Microsoft is dumping money into a defunct nuclear power plant that has proven to be unsafe for the sole purpose of powering AI that has no proven benefits. Corporate greed caused a catastrophe at Three Mile Island before. Corporate hubris could easily cause another.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.
