Detainees tell of abuse at sprawling Texas facility whose giant generators gobble energy and fuel climate crisis Dust was everywhere, covering people’s blankets and clogging their airways inside Camp East Montana, the huge tent facility for immigration detention in west Texas, said D, a young Venezuelan man who was held there. The air conditioning blasted constantly, keeping the living areas inside tents the length of two football fields at what felt like near-freezing temperatures despite the balmy weather outside, and rain leaked through the tarps, so people awoke on wet mattresses, he recalled.

Many people are turning to prescription drugs – and some to herbal remedies and even hard drugs – amid an outlook that feels bleaker than the collapse of the Soviet Union Cris Sánchez believed he had left Cuba for good when he moved to London in 1994, but concerns for his ailing parents brought him back in 2018. Since then, the strain of life in Havana has caused him to turn to prescription drugs – “Just to take the edge off things,” he said. He is not alone. Currently under a US-imposed oil blockade, and following years of economic decline, Cubans are self-administering regulated drugs in growing numbers, as a mental health crisis envelopes the island.

Migrant labor fuels much of Vermont’s dairy industry, but workers are exempt from minimum wage rules, overtime protections and the right to unionize Hilario’s work shift on a Vermont dairy farm began at 10.30pm when he lifted a red fleece blanket and rose from a makeshift bed next to the kitchen sink. The 65-year-old pushed aside a lace curtain that covered his apartment door, dividing his room from the dairy’s sour-smelling milking parlor. In the barn, a horseshoe-shaped milking platform hummed awake. Super-producer black-and-white Holstein cows, twice Hilario’s size, peered out from vinyl curtains. Continue reading...

Scrutinize a receipt from any recent purchase, and it might be hard to avoid feeling you got swindled. Since early 2020, the consumer price index has risen so quickly that what you could buy for a buck back then will cost you $1.26 now. In some categories, including groceries, electricity and car insurance , the price increases have been even steeper. Retailers such as Walmart Inc. and Dollar Tree Inc. are seeing more affluent customers raid their aisles in search of cheaper products. You might feel like you know where the extra money is going— tariffs , that cocoa shortage you read about, the rent hike at your favorite sandwich shop that made your Reuben more expensive. But a lot of prices seem just inscrutably higher. The cost of my dog’s kibble has more than doubled since 2020, and I couldn’t begin to guess why. When Quince launched in 2019, the company couldn’t have known that Americans stood on the precipice of years of pricing chaos, but it nonetheless made for splendid timing. The San Francisco-based online retailer specializes in selling its own brand of low-cost “luxury” goods , the kinds of things designed to lessen the tension between your aspirations and your budget. The company is building its brand on a lineup of bougie basics—$50 cashmere sweaters and $184 European linen bedding sets—plus some designs strikingly similar to more expensive products from Bottega Veneta, Birkenstock, Coach and other brands. At first blush, the promise sounds familiar to those of us who shopped our way through the 2010s Warby Parker -inspired direct-to-consumer boom and its subsequent busts: Quince says it cuts out the middlemen, enabling it to sell high-quality goods at lower prices—a salve for the polyester-weary soul. Over the past few years, it’s expanded into a surprising variety of other products: American-made sofas, 14-karat-gold jewelry studded with lab-grown diamonds, fragrances, nutritional supplements. “We think there’s opportunity everywhere for the same sort ...

watch now VIDEO 2:35 02:35 Prediction markets face renewed questions Politics With proposals to rein in prediction markets proliferating through the halls of Congress in recent weeks and months, Kalshi — one of the biggest players in the booming industry — went on defense. The New York-based platform launched an ad campaign throughout Washington, rolling out mint-green spreads on billboards, bus shelters and inserts in The Washington Post. The ads seek to deflect the spate of criticism being hurled Kalshi's way and to position it as different from Polymarket , the other global industry giant. "We ban insider trading," "We don't do death markets," "We aren't the house," "We operate under U.S. law," the ads read. Building corporate influence in the capital city is a well-used playbook. Prediction markets are a new player, and Kalshi and Polymarket are working to create goodwill with Congress and regulators, who are raising concerns about insider trading and unseemly bets on the platforms. "There's been a lot of conflation between the two big prediction markets players," Kalshi's head of communications Elisabeth Diana said in an interview. "There are very big key distinctions between the two, and we want to make sure the public — and more importantly policymakers — understand the difference." "What we are focused on is building the best product, setting the standard on these issues and working with our relevant regulators and law enforcement to appropriately draw the lines and enforce against actual bad actors," Olivia Chalos, deputy chief legal officer at Polymarket, said in an interview. Chalos declined to directly address Kalshi's messaging.

In an aerial view, two-story single family homes line the streets of neighborhood on Jan. 13, 2026 in Thousand Oaks, California. Kevin Carter | Getty Images Mortgage rates fell to the lowest level in a month, boosting refinance activity and offsetting weak demand from homebuyers. As a result, total mortgage application volume rose 1.8% last week compared with the previous week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association's seasonally adjusted index. The average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages with conforming loan balances, $832,750 or less, decreased to 6.42% from 6.51%, with points increasing to 0.62 from 0.61, including the origination fee, for loans with a 20% down payment. "Given the evolving situation in the Middle East and its impact on energy and commodity prices, mortgage rates declined last week," Joel Kan, an MBA economist, said in a release. Applications to refinance a home, which are most sensitive to weekly interest rate moves, increased 5% for the week and were 15% higher than the same week a year ago. Homebuyers remain on the sidelines due to continued economic uncertainty. Applications to purchase a home dropped 1% weekly and were 3% lower than the same week one year ago, marking the second consecutive week that applications were below last year's level. "Purchase activity remained subdued as potential homebuyers remained hesitant given the current economic uncertainty, which kept purchase applications below last year's level for the second consecutive week," said Kan. Mortgage rates continued to edge lower this week, hitting a 4-week low on Tuesday, as volatility in oil prices tied to the Iran conflict has driven swings in bond yields. "As for the drivers of the market movement, it's the same old story since the beginning of March. The Iran war is the primary source of motivation and oil prices are frequently the best correlated indicator for bond yields and interest rates," Matthew Graham, chief operating officer at Mortga...

Fertilizer is spread across a field in China Grove, North Carolina, on April 10, 2026. Grant Baldwin | AFP | Getty Images On a farm in Goldsboro, North Carolina, where her husband's family has worked the land for generations, Lorenda Overman is facing familiar hurdles — but also new pressures she couldn't have predicted only months ago. " We're always battling weather, disease and insects," said Overman. "Three years we've had record high input prices, and it has just got higher the last six or eight weeks." Fertilizer prices have surged due to shipping disruptions from the war in the Middle East, and the higher costs are rippling across U.S. agriculture just as spring planting gets underway. Farmers are being forced to scale back inputs, shift crops and reconsider how much to plant, which could affect the supply of certain crops in the U.S. and around the world. New survey data from the American Farm Bureau Federation shows fertilizer access and affordability are becoming a defining challenge for this year's growing season. Almost six in 10, or 58%, report worsening financial conditions amid rising input and fuel costs, according to the survey conducted April 3 through April 11. A major share of farmers say they cannot afford all the fertilizer they need. In the Midwest, nearly half, or 48%, said they could not afford the fertilizer they need. That share was at least 66% in the Western, Northeast and Southern regions. Overman said she did not order fertilizer ahead of time, which is a common practice in the industry, because her farm could not make ends meet last year and she was hoping that prices would go down as planting season began this year. "We can't wait for the [Strait of Hormuz] to open back up and those ships to get here before we have to purchase those inputs," said Overman. Fertilizer and nitrogen costs on her farm jumped from $139 per acre last year to an unexpected $217 this season. Now bracing for a less profitable growing season, she's among the ma...

Alones Creative/iStock via Getty Images Best Energy Stocks for a Widening Crack Spread Oil has once again reminded investors how headline-driven the energy sector can be, with price swings tied to shifting developments in the Middle East. Tensions around Iran and the Strait of Hormuz have pushed crude higher in brief surges, only to fall quickly on signs of de-escalation. In this environment, high-beta upstream exploration and production (E&P) stocks have moved in close correlation with oil prices, which magnifies both upside and downside movements. However, a more attractive opportunity may lie further downstream. Refiners ( CRAK ) Outperform Energy Sector ( XLE ) as Oil Falls From Highs Seeking Alpha Refiners profit from the "crack spread," or the difference between the price of crude oil and the refined products, such as gasoline and diesel, produced from it. When oil prices peak and begin to stabilize or decline, refined product prices often remain relatively firm, allowing margins to expand. Therefore, refiners can outperform even after oil prices have rolled over, making them well worth a look amid the ongoing geopolitical headline noise. Seasonal gasoline demand, which rises as summer travel activity increases, can also reinforce our refiner stock thesis, adding a potential tailwind to prices. AAA, April 14, 2026 According to the EIA (U.S. Energy Information Administration), the price of gas at the pump tends to peak in late summer. Therefore, even if de-escalation in Iran can bring oil prices down further, the price of gas will likely remain elevated for months. 5 Top Energy Stocks to Buy Now: Quant Strong Buys To select the five best energy stocks to feature in this article, I used the Seeking Alpha Stock Screener and chose the pre-selected " Top Energy Stocks" list to review the highest Quant-Rated Strong Buy stocks.
