ABC is fighting back against the Trump administration's attempt to police broadcast television content, saying in a filing that the Federal Communications Commission is violating the First Amendment. Led by Chairman Brendan Carr, the FCC accused ABC’s The View of not complying with the equal-time rule, even though the interview portions of talk shows have historically been exempt from the rule requiring equal time for opposing political candidates. The FCC also opened an unusual review of ABC’s broadcast licenses one day after the president and First Lady Melania Trump called on ABC to fire Jimmy Kimmel over a recent joke. An ABC filing that was made public today said the FCC exceeded its authority in actions that "threaten to upend decades of settled law and practice and chill critical protected speech, both with respect to The View and more broadly." The filing is primarily in response to the equal-time investigation, but ABC also seems determined to fight the larger license review. Read full article Comments

There is an “almost zero” chance that the Dutch man linked to the hantavirus outbreak on the MV Hondius cruise ship contracted the disease in the Argentine port of Ushuaia, a provincial health official said on Friday. Juan Petrina, director of epidemiology for Tierra del Fuego province, where Ushuaia is located, told reporters that his assessment was based on the virus’s incubation period, among other factors. The Dutch man and his wife, both of whom died of the virus, boarded the Hondius in...

Robinhood (NASDAQ: HOOD) , the online brokerage that popularized commission-free trades, generates most of its transaction revenues from options, equities, and cryptocurrencies. The volatile cryptocurrency market was a double-edged sword for Robinhood: crypto summers boosted its trading volumes among short-term traders, but crypto winters drove them away. That's what happened in the first quarter of 2026, when its crypto transaction revenue dropped 47% year over year. To offset that pressure, Robinhood has been expanding its fintech ecosystem with more card-based banking services, AI-powered portfolio management tools, wealth management services, and tokenized assets. It's also locking more customers into its Gold subscriptions -- which offer interest-free margin, lower margin rates, higher interest rates on uninvested cash, and other perks for $5 a month or $50 per year.

This new AI trade is leaving Nvidia and Micron in the dust AOL.com

tadamichi/iStock via Getty Images A few days ago, my algorithm pushed an article from Politico across my notifications bar. Politico reports that Wall Street banks are at war with the cryptocurrency industry regarding the proposed Digital Asset Market Clarity Act - apparently, the banks are losing. I was somewhat surprised, not that there is a war, or that the banking industry is losing it, but rather, that the banking industry is opposed to certain measures contained in the proposed bill. Banks have issued private currencies for centuries - indeed, the last time I passed through Chek Lap Kok Airport, the ATM spit out Hong Kong Dollars issued by HSBC Holdings ( HSBC ), and anyone who visits Scotland will likely come across Scottish Pounds issued by the Royal Bank of Scotland ( NWG , RBSPF ). Why wouldn’t private banks want to earn seigniorage, take advantage of blockchain related cost savings, and be at the forefront of change and innovation? Perhaps the answer is that they are trying to protect their moat, not just from the existing stablecoin players, but also from deep-pocketed tech companies. Support for this notion is provided by the fact that soon after the GENIUS Act was passed last year, the Bank Policy Institute, a non-profit advocacy group funded by the banking industry, wrote that, ‘Using reasonable assumptions, the Baumol-Tobin model suggests that the demand for stablecoins would double if stablecoins pay interest’, and that, ‘ … if stablecoins are backed mostly by Treasury securities and reverse repos, there could be a substantial decline in deposits. In a worst-case scenario where all stablecoin growth came from deposits, it would be a 20 percent decline (Huther and Wang (2025)). But even if some of the funding came from money market funds or other sources, a substantial decline in deposits would seem likely. ’ BPI further warned that if stablecoin issuers were able to offer yield, i.e. pay interest on deposits, the resultant increased cost of funding ...

Talks between the two companies have been brewing for more than a year, with a preliminary agreement reached in recent months, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday, citing people familiar with the matter. Intel shares soared nearly 14% on Friday. Apple shares added 2%. Both companies declined to comment. "I 100% believe this is going to happen. I don't know when," chip analyst Ben Bajarin of Creative Strategies said in an interview. If it comes to fruition, the deal would be the most notable vote of confidence yet for Intel's once-struggling chip foundry business. Intel shares are up more than 200% this year. For Apple, it would be the end of era. The iPhone maker currently relies solely on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company to make all the most advanced chips for its devices. But TSMC's wafer capacity can only go so far, amid soaring demand for AI chips that's sent every major tech company into a semiconductor frenzy. Apple is no exception, ramping up its in-house silicon program in recent years to make nearly all the core chips in iPhones, Macs and more. Apple is TSMC's second-largest customer, topped only by Nvidia , according to Bajarin. "Intel is the only place that can scale up capacity as a viable second source," Bajarin said. Intel is indeed ramping up capacity quickly, with a new chip fabrication plant now in high-volume production in Chandler, Arizona. It's making chips there on 18A, its most advanced node, meant to rival TSMC's 2nm node that's currently only manufactured in Taiwan. TSMC also has multiple new chip fabs in Arizona, where Apple has committed to making some of its silicon. Bajarin said Appl...
