July 10, 2025 ~ Earlier this week, the Supreme Court lifted a lower court's injunction blocking the Trump administration's plans for large-scale federal job cuts and agency restructuring. Congressman Tim Walberg joins Kevin to discuss this.

"You can only become a product nation if you invest in R&D. Otherwise, you stay a service economy.” In today's episode of Mint Techcetra, we talk about what India's $12 billion R&D push could actually mean beyond just numbers and press releases. We look at why India's tech sector has lagged in deep research, what it will take to build serious intellectual property here, and whether this new funding will finally shift the dial. We also get into the growing unease around AI. Sam Altman says people trust ChatGPT too much. But who decides how much trust is too much? Is it on the user, the platform, or the regulators who still haven't shown up? and finally, we look into Microsoft's 9,000 job cuts, and ask the harder question: is AI really replacing humans, or is it just a convenient scapegoat for bigger structural shifts? It's a packed episode of policy, people, platforms, and how all three are clashing in real time. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today is Thursday, July 3. Here are some of the latest headlines from the Fargo, North Dakota area. InForum Minute is produced by Forum Communications and brought to you by reporters from The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead and WDAY TV. For more news from throughout the day, visit InForum.com.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. SpiceJet Scare Mid-Air A SpiceJet Goa-to-Pune flight sparked safety concerns after an interior window frame came loose mid-air. A passenger posted a video of the dislodged panel on social media, questioning the aircraft's airworthiness. SpiceJet clarified it was a cosmetic issue, not impacting cabin pressure or safety. The aircraft, a Bombardier Q400, continued its journey to Jaipur after landing in Pune. However, the incident has reignited scrutiny over SpiceJet's maintenance standards, especially with visuals now circulating online. The DGCA has yet to comment. China's Fertiliser Curbs Hit India China's clampdown on fertiliser exports is squeezing global supplies—and India's feeling it hard. Imports of DAP, a key crop nutrient, have slowed significantly just as farmers begin sowing summer crops. Prices have shot up from $630 to over $800 per tonne, with importers now leaning on countries like Jordan. While government reports claim “adequate” stocks, June levels were 42% lower than last year. Farmers are shifting to alternative mixes, but the pressure on food security is real—and growing.  Microsoft's Biggest Layoff Since 2023 Microsoft is cutting over 9,100 jobs, about 4% of its workforce, in its biggest layoff round in two years. This follows 6,000 job cuts in May and comes as the company pushes deeper into AI and automation. The layoffs coincide with CCO Judson Althoff's two-month sabbatical, stirring speculation of deeper restructuring. Reports also hint at upcoming cuts in the Xbox division. Microsoft's stock slipped slightly on the news, reflecting market nerves over the tech giant's ongoing reset. Quad Counters China's Mineral Might In a direct challenge to China's dominance in critical minerals, Quad members—the US, India, Japan, and Australia—have launched the Quad Critical Minerals Initiative. The goal: build secure, diversified supply chains for essential materials used in EVs, defense, and tech. “Reliance on any one country exposes us to coercion,” the group said, clearly referencing Beijing. India is stepping up with mineral talks during PM Modi's five-nation tour and its National Critical Mineral Mission. Experts say this is a bold geopolitical signal—but execution is key. Nykaa's Early Backers Exit Again Harindarpal and Indra Banga are selling a ₹1,200 crore stake in Nykaa via a block deal, offloading 2.1% at a 5.5% discount to the market price. The couple, among Nykaa's earliest investors, have been steadily reducing their holdings since last year. Despite the exit, Nykaa's stock is up nearly 29% this year. The company has delivered strong growth, tripling profits and expanding aggressively through physical stores and influencer partnerships. With plans to double its store count and boost delivery infrastructure, Nykaa's next phase looks ambitious—even as early investors quietly bow out. Learn more about your ad choices.

AI: JOB CUTS AT MICROSOFT, CHRIS RIEGEL.#SCALAREPORT: CHRIS RIEGEL CEO, SCALA.COM @STRATACACHE APRIL 1959.

The Oregonian reported that chipmaker Intel plans to lay off up to 20% of its factory workforce, citing an internal email the publication says was verified by four employees. According to the report, Intel informed its employees that the cuts would begin taking effect in July and would impact factories worldwide.Intel reportedly employed about 109,000 workers at the end of 2024, but it remains unclear how many work in Intel Foundry, the company's factory division. The unit's roles range from factory floor technicians to specialized researchers. Intel eliminated approximately 15,000 jobs last year through attrition, buyouts, early retirement offers and layoffs. However, according to The Oregonian, Chief Technology and Operations Officer Naga Chandrasekaran stated in the email that this round of job cuts will involve eliminating specific roles and levels, assessing skills for remaining positions and “some hard decisions around our project investments.”

AI is increasingly becoming a double-edged sword in the workplace, as highlighted by a recent Microsoft report. While artificial intelligence tools are intended to enhance productivity, they are inadvertently contributing to an "infinite workday," leading to heightened employee burnout. The report reveals alarming trends, such as 40% of workers checking emails by 6 a.m. and a 16% increase in meetings scheduled after 8 p.m. This shift indicates that work is encroaching on personal time, suggesting a need for companies to rethink their time management and workflow strategies to prioritize high-impact tasks over busy work.Amazon's CEO, Andy Jassy, has acknowledged that AI efficiency gains will result in job cuts within the company, reflecting a broader trend of AI adoption across various sectors. Gallup's research shows that AI usage among U.S. employees has nearly doubled, with significant increases among white-collar workers. However, despite the growing integration of AI, concerns about job displacement remain relatively unchanged, with only 15% of employees fearing automation will eliminate their jobs in the near future.The podcast also discusses the transformative impact of autonomous software agents on small to mid-sized businesses, as outlined in PAX 8's report. The findings indicate that a majority of mid-sized enterprises are already deploying AI, with a notable emphasis on the need for organizations to adapt to new operational standards. The report suggests that IT service providers must shift their focus from merely selling AI tools to becoming organizational strategists that help clients redesign workflows and manage time effectively.Finally, the episode touches on the evolving landscape of the technology channel, emphasizing the necessity for vendors and partners to adapt to emerging trends. The shift from product-based selling to outcome-based solutions is becoming essential for survival in a competitive market. As traditional marketing development funds decline, the call for performance-based partnerships is more pressing than ever, urging IT service providers to demonstrate their value and influence in driving client success.  Four things to know today  00:00 Microsoft Warns of ‘Infinite Workday' as AI Blurs Work-Life Boundaries06:19 OpenAI's Defense Deal and MCP Push Signal AI's Transition from Tool to Infrastructure08:58 MiniMax Launches One-Million-Token Open Model, Undercutting Cost of GPT-4 by Orders of Magnitude10:40 Techaisle: Channel Faces Structural Shakeup as Outcome-Based, Risk-Sharing Models Replace Old Playbook  This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://getnerdio.com/nerdio-manager-for-msp/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Are SUVs like the 2025 Hyundai Tucson XRT and Acura RDX really meant to go off road? That's a question we will answer this week as we discuss both vehicles after thoroughly road testing them. Cohost Chris Teague test-drove the refreshed 2025 Acura RDX, a compact luxury SUV with updated styling, a sharper grille, a more functional cabin, and upgraded tech, including a wide-screen 10.2-inch display. The RDX is powered by a 272-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Available Super Handling All-Wheel Drive and a suite of standard safety features complete the package. The specs are impressive, but does the RDX also have a “feature” that might turn you off? While Chris was at the wheel of the Acura, Host Jack Nerad put the (semi-)rugged 2025 Hyundai Tucson XRT AWD to the test. This new variant adds off-road-inspired styling, 19-inch black alloy wheels, and 8.3 inches of ground clearance. Under the hood, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine is paired with Hyundai's HTRAC all-wheel-drive system. Inside, the Tucson XRT features a comfortable, tech-forward cabin with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The question is off-roader or soft-roader? In this week's news segment, we cover the debut of the 2026 Toyota RAV4, redesigned for its sixth generation with hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains only. New trims include the sporty GR SPORT and off-road-ready Woodland edition. We also examine Congress's recent vote to block California's plan to phase out gas-only car sales by 2035, breaking down what this means for national emissions policy and the EV market. The industry hails the change, but some environments cry foul. In other news, Tesla's sales in Europe have fallen nearly 50% in April, despite overall EV market growth. Based on that, we explore possible causes, including public perceptions of CEO Elon Musk and the realities of the European auto market, which has welcomed (kinda) the Chinese. Finally, Volvo's announcement of 3,000 job cuts signals broader challenges amid a slowing EV market and global trade uncertainties. Our special guest this week is Anthony Watkins, Toyota product expert, who joins us to discuss the 2026 Toyota BZ, the brand's heavily revised electric crossover. Jack Nerad drove the new version, and we'll have a special report. We'll also answer our listener question of the week: Connor from Davenport, Iowa, asks, “Should I buy or lease my next car? I drive about 8 to 9,000 miles a year — would a lease make sense?” We offer our take. Have a question for the show? Email us anytime at editor@drivingtoday.com.

Federal employees are facing one of the most disruptive years in modern history. Over 275,000 positions have been impacted through layoffs, buyouts, and reclassifications — and many workers are left wondering: What now? To help us make sense of it all, I welcomed back Brian Kuhn, a seasoned financial advisor and federal benefits expert who first appeared on Money Matters in 2014. We discuss: ✅ What the current administration's restructuring means for public sector workers ✅ How to evaluate early retirement or exit offers ✅ What steps to take before you make a decision ✅ How to protect your pension, healthcare, and financial future Whether you're nearing retirement or just trying to stay afloat, this episode is packed with insight and practical advice.  

In this episode, we discuss the passage of the House budget proposal and the impact of proposed job cuts. Each agency faces the challenge of meeting a 20% reduction in positions, raising concerns about maintaining service levels, particularly in critical areas like prisons and health facilities. Amidst financial pressures, the House proposal's implications for state employees and retirees are analyzed. The team critiques the budget's approach to vacancies, pay raises, and bonuses compared to previous Senate proposals. They highlight the disconnect between political decisions and their real-world impacts on government workers and public services, raising questions about priorities and resource allocation. The episode provides a comprehensive look at the challenges and future steps for state employees as the state navigates its financial landscape.

Thousands of federal workers have left their positions through a mix of layoffs and buyouts. Federal health workers also took a big hit, and are now facing an uncertain future.  

Government employment has long been a reliable pathway to Black middle-class prosperity. More than 18% of the federal workforce is Black versus about 12% of the civilian workforce overall. That means that the estimated 260,000 federal jobs eliminated this year by President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency will be particularly felt by Black federal workers. But first: The House Committee working on the Republican tax bill could be in for a long day.

Let's talk about it

This week on Drunk Real Estate, we unpack the growing signs that the economy might already be in the early stages of a slowdown or recession. From empty shipping ports and declining imports to rising tariffs, inflation pressure, and layoffs, the data is painting a confusing—but concerning—picture. We discuss:

Peter Burke, Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment, speaks ahead of a meeting with senior Irish management at Intel, after the chipmaker announced job cuts last week.

At home and abroad, America's approach to public health is changing rapidly. Tens of thousands of federal health workers are poised to lose their jobs and foreign aid cuts are interrupting programs touching everything from malaria prevention to the treatment of HIV.

Journal health business editor Jonathan Rockoff and senior writer Betsy McKay look at what's changing and how this will affect lives around the world. Luke Vargas hosts.  Further Reading:  Health Department Begins Sweeping Job Cuts RFK Jr. Plans 10,000 Job Cuts in Major Restructuring of Health Department Trump Administration Weighing Major Cuts to Funding for Domestic HIV Prevention Johns Hopkins Slashes More Than 2,000 Jobs Due to USAID Cuts Learn more about your ad choices.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio spent part of his Thursday gilding President Donald Trump's lily, saying during an Oval Office Q&A with reporters that ‘no leader is working harder to prevent wars or end them.' Rubio's confident air, however, runs contrary to reports of fear and chaos reigning at the State Department under his leadership. Earlier this week, the agency released plans for a pretty sizable reorganization. They call for the elimination of hundreds of domestic positions and the axing of offices that focus on things like war crimes and global conflict. Nahal Toosi, senior foreign affairs correspondent for Politico, explains what the State Department reorganization will mean for American foreign diplomacy, and what it says about the Trump administration's worldview.And in headlines: Trump begged Russian President Vladimir Putin to “STOP” bombing Ukraine amid ongoing peace talks, Trump asked the Supreme Court to let his administration enforce its ban on trans troops in the military after a lower court judge put it on hold, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly had Signal installed on a desktop computer at the Pentagon.Show Notes:Read Nahal Toosi's work - https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/04/17/trump-us-africa-relationship-column-00293046Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday

A wave of job cuts in the US hit health agencies hard, especially those that impact women.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Weather forecasts and climate research could be threatened by the recent Trump administration job cuts at federal agencies.The National Weather Service and its parent agency, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, cut hundreds of jobs in late February. And NOAA is tasked with cutting an additional 10 percent of its workforce, according to PBS NewsHour. If those cuts move forward, nearly 20 percent of NOAA's 13,000-person workforce would be eliminated. Fewer workers could mean less data that meteorologists and climate researchers depend on to plan and keep people safe when severe weather hits.MPR News host Angela Davis and her guest talk about how this could affect Minnesotans. Guest: Paul Douglas is a meteorologist with 50 years of broadcast television and radio experience. He provides daily print and online weather services for the Minnesota Star Tribune. He's also worked at KARE 11 and WCCO in the Twin Cities. And he is the founder and president of Praedictix, a company that produces daily weather reports for web sites, newspapers, cable channels and TV broadcasters. 

The National Weather Service has been around for more than 150 years – their mission is explicitly to provide forecasts and warnings to protect lives and property. Experts warn that its hollowing out could have long-lasting implications.

Today's Headlines: The Group Chatgate saga escalates—WSJ reports that classified Israeli intelligence, including details on a Houthi missile expert, was leaked in the Signal chat before a U.S. strike. Meanwhile, the White House says Elon Musk and his DOGE team will “investigate” how this chat leak happened. Trump's latest executive order targets law firm WilmerHale over its ties to Robert Mueller, stripping its federal clearances and contracts. Meanwhile, his administration continues its crackdown on foreign students—two PhD candidates with legal visas were detained, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio admitted to revoking 300+ student visas for alleged protest involvement. Trump also announced sweeping 25% tariffs on foreign cars and parts, which analysts warn will hike prices by $4,000–$15,000 per vehicle. Over at HHS, RFK Jr. is slashing another 10,000 jobs and restructuring key health agencies. In Congress, Speaker Mike Johnson suggested defunding entire federal courts in response to rulings against Trump. The administration is withdrawing Elise Stefanik's UN nomination to keep her in Congress amid two competitive Florida special elections. Finally, the Florida state legislature is moving to weaken child labor laws—allowing 14-year-olds to work overnight and removing meal break guarantees for teens—just as labor shortages grow under Trump's immigration policies.

Hosts Nate Thurston and Charles Chuck Thompson discuss a bizarre and troubling case of Tesla vandalism, coined 'Tesla Terrorism,' and its underlying political motivations. They then switch gears to expose the unbelievable waste and corruption within the now-defunct Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service (FMCS).
