Breaking News

On the final day of the Supreme Court's session, National Public Radio quickly retracted an article Tuesday that incorrectly reported that Justice Samuel Alito was retiring, blaming the error on “a misunderstanding.” The article was written by NPR’s veteran Supreme Court reporter, Nina Totenberg, who planned to address the issue on air later in the day, the news organization said. An editor's note posted by some NPR affiliates said: “Earlier today, we erroneously published a story saying that Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was retiring. Ne

Fed's Hammack tells CNBC rate hikes may be needed to quell high inflation

Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland President Beth Hammack said on Tuesday it remains possible that she’ll advocate for higher interest rates if inflation pressures don’t moderate.“We've got inflation that's too high and it's been too high for the past five years,” Hammack said in an interview on CNBC. “When I look at policy, if that continues, it may mean that we need higher interest rates to bring inflation back down to target,” she said.Hammack, who is a voting member of the interest-rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee this year, declined to say when the threshold for hiki

Supreme Court lifts Watergate-era caps on campaign spending

The Supreme Court on Tuesday lifted a Watergate-era cap on how much money political parties may spend in coordination with candidates, siding with Republicans in a case initially filed by then-Senate candidate JD Vance that experts say could ultimately benefit the GOP in this year’s midterm election.Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote the opinion for a 6-3 conservative court.He said a previous precedent, upholding the cap, has helped outside groups “gain an unwarranted and unfair advantage over competitor political parties in the political process.”Keeping limits in place, he said, would “

Supreme Court lets states ban transgender athletes from playing on girls sports teams

(CNN) - The Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that states may bar transgender students from playing on girls sports teams, delivering the latest in a series of legal defeats to trans Americans amid a political backlash in conservative states that has accelerated at a dramatic pace in recent years.The court was 6-3 along ideological lines on the issue of whether the Constitution bars the states from banning transgender sports. However, the court’s liberals were in the majority on a separate question of whether the state bans were barred by a federal law.The decision in the court’s most cl

UK may intervene in $110 billion Paramount-Warner Bros Discovery deal

Britain said on Tuesday it could intervene in Paramount Skydance Corp's proposed takeover of Warner Bros Discovery, potentially holding up the $110 billion deal after the U.S. and China gave it the green light. The move could see the deal referred to the UK's antitrust regulator, which made headlines in 2023 when it blocked Microsoft's $69 billion acquisition of "Call of Duty" maker Activision Blizzard to the fury of the two U.S. companies. It later changed its mind after Microsoft amended its acquisition plan. Britain's possible intervention comes after the global deal has been cleared by

Pope Leo faces first major crisis of papacy from rebel Catholic group

Pope Leo XIV has made a last-ditch appeal to a rebel group of traditionalist Catholics who plan to ordain bishops without his approval, saying they will be committing a “sin of extreme gravity” if they proceed.Just over a year into his tenure, Leo is facing the first major challenge of his papacy from the Society of Saint Pius X, a group that rejects reforms made by the Catholic Church in recent decades – including allowing Mass to be celebrated in languages other than Latin – and is expected to ordain four bishops on Wednesday at its seminary in Écône, Switzerland.The ordinations, t

Supreme Court rejects Trump effort to end birthright citizenship for millions

(CNN) - The Supreme Court on Tuesday knocked down Donald Trump’s effort to end birthright citizenship as it has been understood for more than a century, invalidating an executive order that was a key part of the president’s agenda even though it was legally dubious from the start. Lower courts have universally rejected Trump’s first-day order, which would deny passports and other documents to children born to parents who are not citizens or green card holders. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the opinion for a majority that included the three liberals - Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Ele

From LA to Scottsdale: The Founder Behind AdDynamix Is Building the Bridge Between AI and Business Tools

An LA digital advertising veteran of 28 years has moved to Scottsdale and is building what he calls the missing piece between business software and the AI assistants people now use every day. SCOTTSDALE, AZ. When Benoit Pecqueur talks about his latest company, he sounds less like a founder pitching a product and more like an operator who got tired of watching the same problem repeat itself. “Most small business owners are watching the AI revolution from the sidelines,” he says. “Not because they don’t want it. Because their tools don’t talk to ChatGPT or Claude. Their accountant still pulls
