Chelsea got what they deserved here. Coasting to fourth courtesy of an early João Pedro goal the second-half dismissal of Wesley Fofana gave a glimmer to a Burnley team previously clinging on. Liam Rosenior’s team desperately tried to run down the clock, only to allow an unmarked Zian Flemming to nod home a James Ward-Prowse corner in added time. It might have been worse, Jacob Bruun Larsen nodded an identical Ward-Prowse corner over the bar. Rust the culprit? Chelsea’s players had enjoyed four days off given to them by Rosenior, Cole Palmer heading a winter sun delegation to Dubai in a rare midweek without competitive action. Estêvão was an absentee after a hamstring issue picked up on his return to training. Roméo Lavia, missing since November, on the bench was a point of intrigue, after the news he had spent his convalescence fine-tuning his decision making with the help of virtual reality.

President Donald Trump finally pushed the US Supreme Court too far. With its rejection Friday of Trump’s claim of unbridled power to impose and remove tariffs, the court reasserted itself as a constitutional guardrail and laid out fresh limits on presidential authority. The decision follows a year in which the conservative-dominated court has largely accommodated Trump’s moves to transform the US government. Although the 6-3 ruling won’t necessarily affect other legal fights involving Trump, it nonetheless carried warning flags for him. The majority included three Republican appointees – two of them first-term Trump nominees – who emphasized the constitutional boundaries of presidential power and faulted Trump for seeking a “transformative expansion” of his authority. “It sends a message that the justices aren’t going to be a rubber stamp approving President Trump’s actions,” said Erwin Chemerinsky , dean of the UC Berkeley law school. In the past year, the high court has sided with Trump in more than 20 emergency requests. The justices have at least temporarily allowed the administration to freeze federal grants and other funds, fire top officials from independent agencies and bar transgender troops from military service. The tariff ruling is the first of what promises to be several blockbuster decisions over Trump’s power in the Supreme Court term that runs through late June or early July. The court may deal Trump additional losses. Justices appeared wary of Trump’s bid to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook , and his plan to roll back automatic birthright citizenship may prompt skepticism when the court hears arguments on April 1. Chief Justice John Roberts underscored the constitutional dimensions of the tariff case. Writing the court’s lead opinion, he said the Constitution’s framers were wary of “taxation without representation,” and consciously gave the taxing power to Congress. “They did not vest any part of the taxing power in the executive branch,” he ...

President announced increase from 10% using different authority from mechanism that supreme court struck down on Friday Donald Trump announced on Saturday that would raise a temporary tariff rate on US imports from all countries from 10% to 15%, less than 24 hours after the US supreme court ruled against the legality of his flagship trade policy. Infuriated by the high court’s ruling on Friday that he had exceeded his authority and should have got congressional approval for the tariffs, the US president railed against the justices who blocked his use of tariffs, calling them a “disgrace to the nation”, and ordered an immediate 10% tariff on all imports, in addition to any existing levies.

Daenin Arnee Real estate stocks continued to gain this week on the back of several factors. Office REITs were a laggard as New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani pitched hiking property taxes by 9.5% as "a last resort" to help close an estimated $5.4B two-year revenue shortfall, if his proposal to tax the rich falls through. However, mortgage rates dropped to their lowest level since September 2022. Homebuilder stocks rose marginally on the SCOTUS tariff decision, as about 60% of the homebuilders, according to the NAHB (National Association of Home Builders), had reported an increase in costs on account of the tariffs, CNBC News noted. The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday ruled in a 6-3 decision to strike down President Donald Trump's tariffs. The ruling found that Trump did not have the authority to impose tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. The court's decision throws into question whether importers will get refunds for duties already paid. Furthermore, the sector reported strong earnings this week. All three S&P 500 real estate companies that declared their quarterly financials - Extra Space Storage ( EXR ), Host Hotels & Resorts ( HST ), and Invitation Homes ( INVH ) - met analyst estimates for revenue and earnings. Year-to-date, real estate as a sector outperforms the broader market. The S&P 500 Real Estate Index Sector ( SP500-60 ) is up ~9%, while the benchmark S&P 500 index has advanced less than 0.5%. "Real estate as a theme is super durable," Josh Brown, CEO of Ritholtz Wealth Management, told CNBC News in an interview. "I think it works in this environment." The best real estate stocks in the market include Realty Income ( O ), Iron Mountain ( IRM ), Prologis ( PLD ), and Simon Property Group ( SPG ), according to Brown. Weekly Gainers & Losers Among largecap stocks, Jones Lang LaSalle ( JLL ) led the weekly gainers. The stock rose 12.08% during the week to close at $314.00. This week, the company reported Q4 earnings and revenue that e...

Of course, it’s the guy who constantly complains about voter fraud who may have committed voter fraud. | Image: The Verge For all his bluster about voter fraud , Elon Musk has been one of the most flagrant flaunters of US election law. Now his America PAC has been slapped with a reprimand by the Georgia State Election Board for sending out pre-filled absentee ballot applications. State law prohibits anyone, other than an authorized relative, from sending an absentee ballot application prefilled with the elector's information. Residents of Chattooga, Cherokee, Coweta, Floyd, and Whitfield counties reported receiving absentee ballot applications from America PAC, partially pre-filled. According to the State Election Board, the applications also failed to note tha … Read the full story at The Verge.

U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during a press briefing held at the White House February 20, 2026 in Washington, DC. Kevin Dietsch | Getty Images News | Getty Images President Donald Trump on Saturday said he would increase global tariffs to 15% from 10%, one day after the Supreme Court struck down his "reciprocal" tariffs. The new tariffs will be "effective immediately," Trump said in a Truth Social post . "I, as President of the United States of America, will be, effective immediately, raising the 10% Worldwide Tariff on Countries, many of which have been "ripping" the U.S. off for decades, without retribution (until I came along!), to the fully allowed, and legally tested, 15% level," he wrote. In his social media post Saturday, Trump also warned that additional tariffs would follow. "During the next short number of months, the Trump Administration will determine and issue the new and legally permissible Tariffs," he wrote. The White House did not immediately respond to a CNBC request for comment. The increase comes after the Supreme Court on Friday, in a 6-3 tariff ruling, decided that Trump wrongfully invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to implement his levies. Trump responded the same day with a 10% global tariff, exercising his authority under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974. The statute allows the president to implement only temporary levies, with any extension requiring congressional approval. The president was scathing in his remarks against the Supreme Court decision, calling it in his social media post that it was "ridiculous, poorly written, and extraordinarily anti-American." He also attacked Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett after they voted with the majority in the ruling. This is breaking news. Please refresh for updates.

Nuclear power is undergoing a renaissance. Electricity generation demand is growing like a weed due to the artificial intelligence ( AI ) boom, and investors are looking for the right horse to bet on in the race. Some have been drawn to NuScale Power (NYSE: SMR) , a new-age nuclear power company seeking to kick-start the small modular reactor (SMR) industry. Shares of NuScale Power went from a low of around $2.50 in late 2023 to a high of $60 last year. Today, the stock has dipped back down below $15. Does that make it the next buy-the-dip candidate and a potential nuclear millionaire maker? An unfortunate downside of the traditional nuclear power industry is the massive up-front capital costs. It may take billions or tens of billions of dollars to build a large nuclear power plant, which can be profitable but requires significant backing from governments, utilities, or large corporations ahead of time.

M. Suhail McDonald's Corporation ( MCD ) used a CosMc's spinoff test as a rapid‑testing lab to modernize its beverage strategy and reposition McCafé as the core engine of future drink growth. CosMc's, which was McDonald's ( MCD ) first investment in a new restaurant concept in the U.S. since Chipotle ( CMG ), was named after a McDonaldland space alien character who appeared in ads in the 1980s. Launched in late 2023, the small‑format, beverage‑led concept is built around highly customizable, flavor‑forward cold drinks and a limited snack menu. Its lineup emphasized fruity refreshers, crafted sodas, cold coffee drinks, and energy‑style beverages enhanced with add‑ins like flavor syrups, vitamin boosts, and popping boba, targeting the fast‑growing “treat” and energy drink occasions rather than traditional meal pairings. The CosMC's test allowed the fast-food chain to experiment with compact footprints and drive‑through/digital‑heavy service optimized for beverage‑only and afternoon traffic. Notably, McDonald's ( MCD ) used the sandbox to test new equipment, customization flows, and throughput without disrupting the core restaurant base. After running a small cluster of test units, McDonald’s decided in 2025 to close all CosMc’s locations and shift the focus to importing its most successful ideas into existing restaurants. During McDonald's earnings conference call earlier in February, management highlighted the success of the CosMc's test and how it plans to expand the McCafé lineup in 2026. "So we are -- obviously, we're really excited about the beverage launch in the U.S. later this year, and we are going to do it under the McCafe brand. So we obviously learned a lot through the CosMc's test, and those learnings have been applied to how we've decided to set up this new beverage range, but we are going to be launching under the McCafé brand. And just to give you a little bit more color. The results did exceed expectations for the entirety of the program. It did drive...
