As the former Talking Heads frontman releases his concert film American Utopia in 4K, he will join us to answer your questions The big suit is what you think of first when you think of David Byrne on stage – but the Talking Heads frontman has kept his pedigree as a live performer at an astonishingly high level right into his mid-70s. As he prepares a 4K cinema version of his acclaimed American Utopia tour, he’ll be joining us to answer your questions. Born in Scotland but later settling in the US with his family, Byrne brought erudition, passion and puckish wit to Talking Heads, who formed amid the astonishing creative maelstrom of 1970s New York. Across eight studio albums – including hits such as Once in a Lifetime and Burning Down the House – they created a very particular type of funky, spry new wave, which arguably found its finest form in the live concert film Stop Making Sense (with that big suit, a floor lamp as a dance partner, and more).

Former Biden J6 Prosecutor's ActBlue-Funded Firm Sues To Stop Trump's UFC White House Event A federal lawsuit filed over the weekend seeks to halt the UFC "Freedom 250" event scheduled for June 14 on the White House South Lawn. The suit was brought by the Public Integrity Project - which is funded in part by ActBlue - on behalf of two Virginia residents and targets the Department of the Interior and National Park Service. Brendan Ballou, founder and CEO of the Public Integrity Project - and is perhaps most notably a former federal prosecutor who served in the Department of Justice during the Biden administration . He worked in the Antitrust Division as Special Counsel for Private Equity and was detailed for two years to the team prosecuting January 6 Capitol rioters . He resigned from DOJ after President Trump issued pardons for many January 6 defendants in January 2025. The complaint alleges the event violates federal regulations by staging a private sporting event on federal parkland (generally prohibited by National Park Service rules), constructing a large temporary structure ("the claw") without required congressional approval, and failing to conduct an environmental review under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), ESPN reports . The plaintiffs argue the event is a private commercial venture benefiting UFC, Dana White, and President Trump (including through sponsorship packages reportedly priced at $1–1.5 million and potential promotional value), rather than a legitimate government-sponsored semiquincentennial celebration. They are seeking an emergency preliminary injunction. Ballou has described the event as "a profound misuse of our sacred national monuments for private gain" and a "deeply corrupt scheme."

Guido Mieth Executives from alternative asset management firms, such as Ares Management ( ARES ), Blue Owl Capital Inc. ( OWL ), and Golub Capital, have flocked to Mexico City in a rare opportunity for substantial new inflows of assets, according to a media report on Monday. Mexican pension funds, commonly known as Afores, represent a $500B opportunity for alternative asset managers, which have struggled to gain new business from U.S. pension funds as many have hit their limit for investing in private markets. Meanwhile, they're tapping growing retail funds, but that channel is more prone to panicking. By contrast, the Mexican funds are swelling in size as reforms increase the amount of money being contributed to workers' accounts combined with other rule changes that allow for larger allowable allocations to international private markets firms, Bloomberg News reported. Along with the Middle East, Mexico is one of the most attractive fundraising markets, Philippe Stiernon, founder of ROAM Capital, told Bloomberg. " The demographic and structural tailwinds are incredibly powerful, which is why virtually every major alternative asset manager is now prioritizing Mexico." It's difficult to ascertain which external managers are gaining the most secure funding commitments from Afores, the report said. But some of the earliest to create vehicles that Afores can invest in include Blackstone ( BX ), BlackRock ( BLK ), KKR ( KKR ), and Lexington Partners, Bloomberg said, citing data from Biva, a local exchange.

JHVEPhoto/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Marvell Technology ( MRVL ) remained in focus after S&P Dow Jones Indices announced the company will join the S&P 500 later this month. The news followed recent comments from Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who said Marvell could become the next semiconductor company to reach a $1 trillion market capitalization. From a technical standpoint, the stock appeared extended after its recent rally. Shares were trading significantly above their 50-day (blue), 100-day (green), and 200-day (red) simple moving averages, underscoring the strength of the uptrend. The stock was also changing hands between the 78.6% and 100% Fibonacci retracement levels, an area often viewed by traders as a potential zone for profit-taking or consolidation. Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index hovered near overbought territory, suggesting bullish momentum remained intact but that the stock could be vulnerable to a pause after its sharp advance. Despite the stretched technical setup, the longer-term trend remained firmly positive.
