U.S. Rep. Joe Morelle (D-NY) looks on during a press conference about the SAVE America Act in the U.S. Capitol on March 17, 2026 in Washington, DC. Heather Diehl | Getty Images House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries announced on Monday that he's deploying Rep. Joe Morelle this week to meet with New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and state legislators about mid-decade redistricting in the state. Jeffries and Morelle, both New York Democrats , said in a joint statement the effort is a response to the Supreme Court's decision last week weakening a section of the Voting Rights Act , a landmark 1965 civil rights law that prohibits discrimination in voting. The 6-3 ruling strikes down a majority-Black, Democrat-held district in Louisiana. And it could lead to similar districts being drawn out of existence in multiple Republican -led states ahead of the 2026 midterm elections . "While far-right extremists on the Supreme Court have twice recklessly cleared the path for partisan gerrymandering, Democrats refuse to unilaterally disarm," Jeffries said. "This is just the beginning. Across the nation, we will sue, we will redraw and we will win. House Democrats will not allow a MAGA majority to be built on rigged maps and the dilution of Black voting strength."

AndreyPopov/iStock via Getty Images Building a Yield Shield The first four months of 2026 have delivered an important reminder to income investors: Safety will require an active mindset more often than not. Ending the first quarter, sticky inflation has become a concern once again—bolstered by a 12% spike in energy prices ignited by the U.S. involvement in the Iran War. For those parked in standard dividend appreciation benchmark ETFs, the results have been less than ideal. While the broad market has remained resilient—with the S&P 500 rising 10.4% in April for its biggest monthly gain since November 2020—income investors searching for yield in traditionally “safe” ETFs have struggled to keep pace with the recent reemergence of inflation. As the calendar turns over and we hit the month of May, financial pundits across the media are likely to dust off their favorite annual warning, “Sell in May and go away.” After all, it's a midterm year, right? Recent history writes a different story, though. While the next six months do typically produce weaker gains, it has rarely been negative. In fact, since 2016, only 2022 saw negative performance in May-October. Carson Group Skeptics would be right to point out that 2022, the last midterm year, was also fraught with inflation worries. But 2026 is not 2022. The “noise” may continue to echo across Wall Street this summer, which is why investors should be looking for an “all-weather” diversified solution. Investors can find signals in Seeking Alpha’s Quant Model, which has consistently outperformed the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF ( VIG ) over the past decade.

持有Repay Holdings约13%股份的大股东Forager Capital Management周一发表声明，指责该公司董事会自其提出收购提议以来已过去17天仍未进行实质性接触，股东不满情绪持续升温。 Forager在声明中指出，尽管公司在4月17日的新闻稿中称已聘请顾问评估该提议，但截至目前，董事会及其顾问均未联系Forager启动实质性对话。Forager表示：“我们很难理解，在没有与我们进行任何互动的情况下，董事会如何能全面评估我们的全现金收购提议。” 该提议于4月16日首次发出，Forager提出以每股4.80美元现金收购Repay Holdings全部流通股，较当时30日成交量加权均价溢价75%，属今年已宣布的私有化交易中的最高溢价水平。然而自3月30日以来，董事会采取了多项防御性行动：包括不参与该溢价收购对话、通过“毒丸计划”，以及在股东提名窗口关闭后宣布了一项规模超过公司市值的交易。 Forager敦促董事会立即展开建设性对话，并呼吁以加速时间表推进交易。该公司此前曾于4月28日（提议提出10天后）发表类似声明，警告“董事会每拖延一天，都会延长股东获得现金的时间，并降低其内部收益率”。 责任编辑：张俊 SF065

The European Union is in talks with Anthropic PBC about getting its companies and banks tested for any vulnerabilities that the new Mythos AI model uncovers. “Indeed there are contacts with Anthropic,” said EU Economy Minister Valdis Dombrovskis , speaking Monday night after a meeting of Eurogroup finance ministers in Brussels. Dombrovskis said Anthropic had briefed the European Commission, the EU’s executive, on the unreleased tool’s “cyber capabilities and risks.” Ultimately, he wants European companies “to have possibilities for this cyber resiliency testing.” Mythos, which can identify unknown flaws in IT systems, has sent a wave of anxiety across Europe, as Anthropic is limiting access to it. Officials are worried that without any information, Europe’s financial system may become exposed to digital attacks if the technology falls into the wrong hands. “There are concerns about potential misuse,” Dombrovskis said. “That’s why it is tightly controlled how this model is being used.” During the gathering, finance ministers pushed for European companies see the new AI model, according to people familiar with the discussions, who spoke on the condition of anonymity as the talks are private. “I don’t think we have the luxury of not trying to establish channels of communication with the US,” Eurogroup President Kyriakos Pierrakakis told reporters after Monday’s meeting. “The challenge here is that technologies like AI necessitate international governance frameworks at a moment when multilateralism is challenged.” Spain’s Carlos Cuerpo pushed in the meeting for Europe to consider regulatory and legislative instruments — such as the AI Act — to help guarantee access to Anthropic’s model, the people said. Pierrakakis said the issue is so serious that ministers will need to revisit it at future gatherings, they added. “Frontier AI models are evolving rapidly and may soon present challenges of a potentially systemic nature,” Pierrakakis said. “We must ensure a framework tha...
