Opponents say administration’s plan prioritizes big agriculture at expense of wildlife and protected species New legal action aims to head off a Trump administration plan to open up to 24m acres of federal lands to cattle grazing, which opponents characterized as a gift to big agriculture and said could cause a spike in deaths among already imperiled wolves, grizzlies, steelhead salmon and other wildlife. The plan also calls for opening up parts of Grand Canyon national park, and other sensitive landscapes. Cattle destroy critical habitats for wildlife because they strip land bare of essential vegetation and pollute streams with feces, urine, sediment and carcasses. Meanwhile, park rangers and ranchers often kill grizzly bears and other predators who prey on cattle, despite that ranchers and the government pushed the cattle into the predators’ home range.

Enjoy this 30-minute cheesy polenta for dinner, then chill the excess polenta and get an even quicker meal the next day I love polenta, but very often forget about it in favour of pasta or rice. However, for those transitional spring evenings, it’s perfect comfort food: warm, filling, and cooks in under two minutes when you buy quick-cook. But the very best thing about making a pan of polenta is that with barely any extra effort, it’ll give you the basis for a meal the next day. Try pouring half of it into a tray – studded with olives, or with extra cheddar stirred through, perhaps – and chill overnight. The next day, cut it into squares, chips, or even star shapes, and fry until crisp – a cook once, eat twice win. Continue reading...

The Iran war has squeezed global supplies of jet fuel, threatening to upend vacation plans as the peak summer travel season approaches in the Northern Hemisphere. The near-halt of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has disrupted oil exports from the Persian Gulf, forcing refineries elsewhere to cut production of jet fuel and its base ingredient, kerosene. Compounding the problem, refiners in the Middle East, where more than 10% of the world’s jet fuel and kerosene is typically produced, have struggled to deliver cargoes to buyers outside the region. Jet fuel prices have risen even more than those of crude oil since the conflict started. They’ve surged to records, topping $200 a barrel in Europe. Faced with higher fuel costs and lower supply, airlines have axed thousands of flights; grounded older, less-efficient aircraft; and raised airfares. Further cancellations may be around the corner. Which markets are seeing the biggest disruption? Asia has been hit particularly hard since it normally receives the majority of the crude oil shipped through the Strait of Hormuz. Asian refineries’ output of jet fuel and kerosene fell to 2.9 million barrels a day in April, a decline of more than half-a-million barrels a day from February, according to figures from the OilX service of Energy Aspects. Europe is under pressure, as well. Refineries there have been closing for years, unable to compete with bigger and more-efficient plants in Asia. About 40% of the jet fuel used by the European Union is imported, and half of that typically comes through Hormuz. Shell Plc said refineries in Europe are maximizing jet-fuel production. The region has also been purchasing more barrels from North America and Africa , according to data from Vortexa. But it’s unclear how well these supplies will hold up going forward, especially as jet fuel demand typically rises during the summer. If Europe is unable to replace more than half of its lost Middle East supply, its jet fuel inventories could re...

Iryna Tolmachova/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Aritzia ( ATZ:CA ) ( ATZAF ) recently reported 4QFY26 revenue and earnings both coming well above consensus, driven by accelerated comp growth and operating leverage. More importantly, management issued a very strong outlook, guiding a 30% Q1 comp acceleration, despite the persistent tariff pressure, and this led to an across-the-board target price hike and re-rating on the stock. The stock has been up +26% YTD and more than doubled since we last published ( See Link ). Our thesis on ATZ is that the company is uniquely positioned in the global fashion landscape by focusing on everyday affordable luxury that caters to a larger audience seeking superior value propositions than the luxury and the sub-luxury categories. Yet, ATZ’s unique position differentiates itself from the mid-market and the fast fashion segments susceptible to disruption from the growing presence of Chinese cross-border e-commerce platforms such as Shein and Temu. We believe there is still room for upside on the back of accelerated Q1 comp guidance, given that ATZ’s investment in a unique and differentiated store concept, diversified product assortment, and, more importantly, growing brand awareness in the US are starting to pay dividends. We update our target price on ATZ from $88/share to $150/share, based on a 35x forward P/E multiple. This implies a ~38% upside from the current level. More on valuation below. There are two key risks to our thesis: First, ATZ has been successful in gaining US consumer mindshare despite the persistent tariff risk and the elasticity involving consumer discretionary spending in light of the elevated fuel cost. Incremental successes are likely to be heavily dependent upon continued execution across product assortment and marketing so that ATZ’s value proposition remains differentiated vs. the other specialty apparel brands. Failure to simultaneously manage these dynamic factors could lead to a slowdown in comp growt...

一些村庄还奖励婚恋。 当前，生育支持体系正持续完善。在建设生育友好型社会过程中，越来越多的村社出台鼓励婚育措施。 近日，东莞万江街道谷涌社区发布了《生育奖励方案（试行）》，二孩一次性奖励10000元，三孩一次性奖励20000元。生育双胞胎或多胞胎的，按实际孩次对应二孩、三孩标准执行（例如第一胎生育双胞胎的一次性奖励二孩10000元，如果第一胎生育多胞胎，一次性奖励二孩10000元，三孩20000元，共30000元），其他情况也按实际孩次奖励。 该方案面向2026年1月1日后（含1月1日）出生，且出生日起半年内首次入户谷涌社区的新生儿。自2026年1月1日起实施（试行期一年，社区保留调整或终止权利），此日期前出生子女不追溯生育奖励。 谷涌社区之外，东莞已有多个村出台鼓励村民结婚生育的措施，例如，今年1月，广东东莞万江石美社区公布《生育补贴方案》：夫妻双方或其中一方为石美社区户籍并且是享受各股份合作社股东分红的股东，新生儿2026年1月1日后出生且出生日起半年内首次入户石美社区的，生育二孩一次性补助为1万元，生育三孩的一次性补贴2万元。 此外，东莞常平镇漱新村，厚街陈屋社区、长安厦边社区、寮步富竹山村、横沥镇新四黄塘村等村社区均推出生育补贴及奖励措施。 广州、佛山也有多个村社鼓励生娃。在广州，自2023年开始天河猎德村“打响头炮”奖励生娃后，包括番禺傍江东村和新水坑村，黄埔下沙经联社和黄埔南湾社区、白云龙归南岭村等公布鼓励生育的奖励措施。佛山市禅城区张槎上朗村也出台了奖励村民生育的措施。 山东省泰安市泰山区上高街道北上高村、湖北宜昌伍家乡共同村、当阳市玉泉街道三桥村等多个村庄也纷纷出台鼓励生育的措施。 总体来看，这些发放生育奖励、补贴的村集体经济实力强，土地出租收入、村办企业多。首都经济贸易大学劳动经济学院教授姜全保认为，一些村庄虽然经济一般，但也有很多在外的能人回报乡梓，不仅可以在奖励升学、敬老等方面发挥作用，也可以在鼓励生育过程中发挥重要作用。 一些村庄还奖励婚恋。例如，广州市白云区龙归南岭村、广东省东莞市横沥镇新四黄塘村等地，纷纷出台奖励结婚的措施。 今年4月，河南驻马店一村支书发视频称，为解决村里大龄青年婚恋问题，村委决定发布脱单悬赏：但凡有人给村里青年介绍对象，双方能订婚的话，奖励介绍人1000元。

Venmo is starting to test a big redesign of its app, and as part of the changes, it will be implementing a major new privacy measure: the onboarding process for new users will set their posts to only be viewable by their friends by default instead of being public. It's a notable update for a platform that has struggled with privacy in the past. In 2021, BuzzFeed News tracked down President Joe Biden's Venmo account and the accounts of people in his inner circle because Venmo, at the time, had no way to keep your Venmo contacts private. It fixed that soon after . As part of the redesign, if you're a new user and you do want … Read the full story at The Verge.

The timing is notable. PayPal, which owns Venmo, is restructuring to spin Venmo off as a standalone business unit — a move widely seen as laying the groundwork for a potential sale. Stripe has reportedly expressed interest in buying PayPal outright.

The Semiconductor Market Could Double to More Than $1.5 Trillion by 2030. Here's the Best Chip Stock to Buy. AOL.com

Dougal Waters/DigitalVision via Getty Images Co-authored with Kody's Dividends In an investment portfolio, peace of mind is the ultimate currency. We often talk about balancing capital preservation with growth, but that balance is put to the test when market volatility spikes. The goal isn’t to simply find a dividend payer, but to find a safe harbor with a sturdy balance sheet capable of self-funding expansion. That brings us to our focus for today, which is H2O America ( HTO ). When we last covered it with a "Buy" rating in March , we were optimistic about the utility raising its five-year capital spending plan to $2.7 billion. While dilutive in the near term, we viewed the prospective acquisition of Quadvest as a long-term positive. The investment-grade balance sheet was another plus. Finally, shares looked to be reasonably valued. A month and a half later, H2O’s fundamentals are still healthy. Its combination of $2.7 billion in capex and the pending strategic acquisition of Quadvest are major growth tailwinds. H2O also looks primed to hold onto its A- S&P credit rating. The near-term dilution from share issuances and a relatively stable share price have simply diminished the current value proposition. The Long-Term Remains Promising H2O America Q1 2026 Earnings Press Release On April 28, H2O shared its earnings report for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. The company’s operating revenue grew by 9.4% over the year-ago period to $183.3 million in the quarter. That topped Seeking Alpha’s analyst consensus by $6.9 million . What contributed to these results for the first quarter? The biggest contributor to the jump in operating revenue had to do with rate increases. Higher rates in California, Connecticut, and Texas stemming from recent capex lifted operating revenue by $11.8 million in the quarter. Secondary catalysts for H2O’s topline growth were increased customer usage and higher purchased water costs (+3.8% to $26.9 million). Customer growth in its service...

Vanit Janthra/iStock via Getty Images Three structural advantages that make Tesla ( TSLA )’s moat deeper than the numbers suggest — and why they’re almost impossible to replicate. We went through Tesla’s ( TSLA , TSLA:CA , ZTSL:CA ) Q1 2026 earnings call. A lot of the coverage focused on the HW3 FSD situation — 4 million vehicles sold between 2019 and 2024 with promises of full self-driving capability that, Musk now confirmed, those vehicles simply cannot deliver. The hardware lacks the memory bandwidth. A costly swap involving both the computer and cameras is required. No timeline, no pricing, and the custom retrofit chip doesn’t even exist yet. Class action exposure is real. Tesla Cortex 2 — AI Training Cluster. This is where the moat is being built. That’s a legitimate near-term risk and we don’t dismiss it. But buried deeper in the transcript was something more revealing. When asked whether V14.3 was the final piece needed for large-scale unsupervised FSD, Musk said essentially yes — and Ashok noted the Robotaxi fleet has recorded zero incidents to date. But Musk was equally direct about what comes next: it simply wouldn’t make sense to deploy at very large scale when they already know major architectural improvements are in the pipeline that will significantly improve both safety and capability. V15 is not a regulatory hurdle Tesla needs to clear. It is a self-imposed standard. Read that carefully. Tesla has a version of FSD working well enough to deploy commercially today — already running unsupervised in three cities. But they’re consciously choosing not to go to massive scale yet because a better version is coming. That’s responsible. It’s also the moment we started thinking harder about who, exactly, is paying for V15 to exist. The Customers Are the Product Here is the thesis in its simplest form: When a customer buys a Tesla and pays $10,000–$15,000 for Full Self-Driving, they are not just buying a software feature. They are, knowingly or not, enrolling th...

Andrii Dodonov/iStock via Getty Images How quickly things change, huh? Last October I slapped 'Hold' on Arko ( ARKO ), targeting ~$4 to $5.20. So far so good. It was an upside of ~30% in the best-case scenario, but I remained cautious since there were no catalysts in the short term. To be fair, I had given you two of them: Dealerization of c-stores (just over ~13% already converted at that point), generating just over $10 million in annualized SG&A savings. Selling ​​the Retail segment to become a kind of pure-play fuel company (scooping up ~$1.2 billion at 0.7x sales and repaying all the debt, as has already been suggested by the market). By that point, the sale had already been hanging over the story for about a year, and the entire 'dealerization' push was always meant to be a long-game investment. Funny enough, I kind of stopped paying close attention to the story for a while, and then one day I saw that they weren't going down any of these paths. What Arko basically did was spin off part of its wholesale fuel distribution, fleet fueling, and GPMP operations into a new company called ARKO Petroleum ( APC ) through an IPO, while still keeping control of the business afterward. And I think this is where we should start. How the IPO Affects Arko Probably everyone reading this article agrees that Arko Petroleum's IPO attempts to solve two problems. The first is—and always has been— debt . In my last article, I gave you their entire history from SPAC to serial acquirer of small c-stores and how they accumulated that chunk of $875.5 million in LT debt (~3.75x EBITDA FY 2025), ending up stagnant. They needed to deleverage their balance sheet, and monetizing ~26% of Arko Petroleum allowed them to raise $207 million to repay the debt. If you look closely at the balance sheet now, they are sitting on $691 million in LT debt. Only ~3x when using the same EBITDA from FY 2025! That is, they managed to deleverage by monetizing a chunk of one of their businesses while still ma...

Surendra Sharma/iStock via Getty Images It's been quite a while since my last portfolio reveal. With the markets in greed mode, I think it's time for another reveal. First, I think it's pointless to talk about returns because my portfolio moves mid-single digits (at least) each day, both ways. That said, YTD, I'm up 86%, with an absurd 38% return in the last week alone after selling my calls on Micron (don't worry, in line with my highly speculative style, I redeployed part of that capital back in the market, in even riskier assets). Second, the net liquidation value of my portfolio is low 6 digits (USD) and accounts for most of my net worth at the time of writing this piece. As you may know if you've been following my articles, I am mostly a thematic investor. I look for pockets in the market where the music is playing, then buy the names I believe are best positioned to ride those tailwinds. At the first signs of a rotation, I head for the exit and look for the next soundtrack. Fundamentals are just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, as I'm about to discuss in this piece, I think narratives (or, to be precise, shifts in narratives) are stronger in the current market. As I've been discussing in my last macro articles, I'm seeing enough in the recent macro data to stay constructive on risk assets. In fact, the April employment report supports my view, despite the fact that payrolls came in better than the consensus anticipated (which I'm sure the bears will use as an argument for "higher for longer" interest rates). I will also discuss my view on this matter here. However, I wanted to do more than just talk about macro. In my last piece , I revealed some of the pockets of the market that I've been buying since early April. In this piece, I will disclose the holdings of my 2 portfolios to give you an idea of what I own and why. Overall, I think technology remains the dominant place in the market where capital is flowing, but even within tech, the leadership is fragment...

Novo Nordisk A/S agreed to hand over an experimental therapy for Parkinson’s disease to a Mark Zuckerberg-backed AI startup to potentially speed its development. The startup, Cellular Intelligence , is gaining rights to the early-stage treatment and will be in charge of shepherding it through clinical trials, it said Monday. Novo, the maker of the obesity blockbuster Wegovy, stands to receive milestone payments and royalties if the program succeeds. The Danish drugmaker agreed to buy a stake in the Boston-based startup as part of the deal. No financial details were disclosed. Cellular bid on the Parkinson’s effort after Novo last year announced it would cut its cell-therapy division to focus on lucrative areas like obesity and diabetes. The startup has opened a lab in Copenhagen and it’s hired many former Novo employees who previously worked on the project, according to Chief Executive Officer Micha Breakstone. Read More: Novo Halts Work on Cell Therapy Cure for Diabetes to Cut Costs Cellular Intelligence will use its AI platform to accelerate clinical development and manufacturing, Breakstone said in an interview. The transaction marks a reversal of roles to traditional pharma deals, in which big firms typically take over products from smaller biotechs. Cell therapies involve live cellular material that gets injected or transplanted into patients, and such treatments are approved for several types of cancer. The experimental Parkinson’s program transplants stem cells — unique ones that can self-renew and develop into other specialized cells — into the area of the brain affected by the disease using a specific device. The goal is to restore nerve cells that produce dopamine, which plays a key role in various functions including movement and mood regulation. There are no results available yet for the early clinical trial. Cellular Intelligence plans a mid-stage study that would begin early next year. The AI will help optimize how the cells are produced, predicting ho...

Fermi Inc. has won the backing of its second-largest shareholder as its former chief executive officer seeks a special meeting to seize control of the data-center developer’s board. Caddis Capital, which owns a 9.3% stake, supports the ousting in April of former CEO Toby Neugebauer and opposes his push to appoint new directors and put the company up for sale, according to a statement reviewed by Bloomberg News. “Fermi’s recent market valuation has been materially disconnected from its intrinsic value and does not reflect the strength of its underlying assets,” Caddis Managing Partner Griffin Perry said in the statement. “A sale of the company at such a depressed price would deprive shareholders of significant value.” The current board has the “necessary skills and expertise” to implement Fermi’s strategy, and Caddis is confident in Fermi’s longterm prospects, Perry added. The move is a potential setback for Neugebauer, who is calling for a special shareholder meeting on May 29 to expand the board and elect himself and several additional directors. A trust tied to his family is the largest Fermi shareholder, with a roughly 15% stake, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Last week, Fermi said his call for the meeting was “invalid” and urged shareholders to ignore his consent solicitation. Representatives for Fermi and Neugebauer didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. Co-founded by former US Texas governor Rick Perry, the Amarillo, Texas-based company is trying to build giant artificial intelligence data centers throughout the state. The idea is to pair big computing facilities with energy infrastructure like natural gas and eventually nuclear power so that AI firms can meet their massive power needs without depending on the regular grid. But the real estate investment trust’s shares have slid 84% since going public last year at a valuation of about $19.3 billion, as it grapples with leadership turmoil, questions about whether it can finance and build ...

After receiving just a 2.8% cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) in January, many Social Security beneficiaries are hoping that 2027 will bring a bigger benefit increase. While we're still five months away from the official announcement in October, there's already a lot of speculation about where the 2027 COLA will fall. A bigger COLA is a possibility, but a lot remains uncertain right now. And even if the COLA comes in higher than current projections, it may not deliver the relief you were hoping for.
