A federal judge ruled Saturday that Kari Lake unlawfully led the US Agency for Global Media (USAGM) for several months last year and voided mass layoffs and other actions taken during that period to dismantle the agency. The US Agency for Global Media (USAGM) is an independent federal agency that oversees the Voice of America (VOA), the US’s largest and oldest international broadcaster, and provides grants to Radio Free Asia, Radio Free Europe and other news agencies. The Trump administration moved to defund the agency in early 2025 and appointed Lake to oversee the agency, but did not receive Senate confirmation for her role. Despite efforts to defund the agency, Congress appropriated half a billion dollars more than Lake requested in funding for the agency in 2026. In her role, Lake cut contracts and over 1,000 staff positions at the agency when she was appointed to the role on 31 July before she relinquished the position on 19 November. “Only the Appointments Clause or the Vacancies Act’s exclusive structure may authorize service as a principal officer, and Lake satisfies the requirements of neither the statute nor the Constitution,” US district court judge Royce C Lamberth wrote in the ruling. Lamberth leaned on the ruling by the third circuit court of appeals that ruled the appointment of Alina Habba, Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer, to lead the US attorney’s office in New Jersey was invalid. “Adopting Lake’s position would require the Court to find that the President can fill a first assistantship at any time during a vacancy in a Senate-confirmed office and then … elevate the first assistant to serve as the acting officer,” Lamberth said in the ruling. Lake said in a statement on social media: “We will appeal this outrageous ruling from an activist DC District Court Judge.” Lake also reposted a claim that the judge slept through arguments in the trial, responding “not surprised. Morbid obesity can cause massive issues with blood sugar.” Lamberth was app...

Key Points Nvidia still produces the best picks and shovels for the AI market. Its stock looks cheap relative to its growth potential. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), the world's largest producer of discrete GPUs, is the top artificial intelligence (AI) stock for many investors. Most of the world's top AI companies use its chips to train their AI algorithms, and it locks in those clients with its proprietary services. Nvidia's stock has already soared nearly 22,000% over the past decade -- lifting its market cap to $4.3 trillion and making it the world's most valuable company. However, the smart money will likely keep flowing into Nvidia's stock in March as the AI market continues expanding. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » Why is Nvidia still a great growth stock? Nvidia once generated most of its revenue from selling gaming GPUs for PCs, but the lion's share now comes from its data center GPUs. Unlike CPUs, which are optimized for sequential tasks, GPUs are designed to process parallel tasks. That makes them better-suited for processing complex machine learning and AI tasks than stand-alone CPUs. Nvidia established a first-mover advantage in this market, and it maintained that lead with its Turing (2019), Ampere (2020), Hopper (2022), and Blackwell (2024) chip architectures. It plans to launch its next chip architecture, Rubin, in the second half of this year. It controls more than 90% of the discrete GPU market, while AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) holds a single-digit share. Nvidia's proprietary programming platform, CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture), enables developers to easily create AI applications optimized for its chips. The stickiness of that ecosystem, which includes other prisoner-taking services, reinforces its market dominance. Nvidia directl...

Netflix (NFLX 0.10%) let go of its Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD 0.21%) buyout attempt this week, and there was much rejoicing. The company isn't giving up on buyout ideas as a whole, though. A small part of the $2.8 billion breakup fee is already going into a much smaller deal. In news that sounds like a mad lib, Netflix just acquired an artificial intelligence company founded by the featured construction worker from Good Will Hunting. The company is called InterPositive, named after an old-school film preparation technique. Ben Affleck started it in 2022, and nobody really knew it existed until Thursday. So, what does the company do? InterPositive builds artificial intelligence (AI) tools for filmmakers. Its tools can fix lighting mistakes, fill in missing shots, replace backgrounds, and so forth. The focus is on adding AI smarts to the technical grunt work of production, not generating fake actors or writing scripts. Affleck and his team train their models on a closed soundstage using footage they control, which is a very different approach from scraping the entire internet and hoping for the best. Directors can also upload their own dailies to customize the InterPositive tool for a specific project. It's less "AI makes your movie" and more "AI handles the stuff you'd rather not spend three hours fixing in post-production." Why is Ben Affleck a part of this project? Affleck has been publicly interested in AI for a while, but more in a "this could help indie filmmakers" approach than a "robots will replace us all" way. From a conference presentation in 2024: "What AI is going to do is going to disintermediate the more laborious, less creative and more costly aspects of filmmaking that will allow costs to be brought down, that will lower the barrier to entry, that will allow more voices to be heard, that will make it easier for the people who want to make Good Will Huntings to go out and make it."

Workers at the John Lewis Partnership are expected to find out this week whether they will receive their first annual bonus payment in four years. The retail group, which runs the John Lewis department store chain and Waitrose supermarket business, will also reveal how it has been progressing with its transformation strategy in an update on Thursday 12 March. It will report its results for the year to January, which will include informing staff over its plans for any potential bonus. It is still not clear whether the employee-owned business will pay an annual bonus to its staff, whom the retail group call partners. The payment of a bonus is decided by the company’s board. JLP has not paid an annual bonus to workers since January 2022 amid a major turnaround strategy at the company. After the coronavirus pandemic, the group shut a number of John Lewis department stores and cut head office jobs in an attempt to shore up its finances. The company again opted not to hand out a bonus last year, despite tripling its annual profits. Underlying profits rebounded to £126m for the year to January last year, from £42m a year earlier. Last summer, the company indicated in an internal update that staff could be in line for a bonus if it beat a £200m profit target. A number of frustrated workers had signed an open letter calling on bosses to bring back the bonus after it was not paid out for a third consecutive year. At its peak during the 1980s, the retailer paid an annual bonus worth as much as 24% of employee salaries. Last month, JLP said John Lewis and Waitrose partners would receive an inflation-busting 6.9% pay increase as part of a £108m investment in its workforce. On Thursday, the company will also shed more light on the progress of its major transformation under its chair, Jason Tarry. Its strategy under the former Tesco UK boss has involved pumping more investment into stores, as JLP renewed its focus in its core retail business. The firm is spending £800m across its ...

Sales for the year increased 12.9% on an annual basis to come in at $709.9 million, beating the average analyst estimate by approximately $7.9 million. The business also shifted into posting a positive gross profit of $5.5 million in the fourth quarter -- coming in at 2.4% of revenue for the period. Plug Power is a specialized provider of hydrogen fuel cells, elctrolyzers, transportation services, and related technologies that went public in 1999. The company's progression of commercial scaling has frequently fallen short of expectations since going public, and management has relied on new share offerings to fund business operations. As a result, the stock is down roughly 98.5% since market close on the day of its initial public offering (IPO). Has Plug Power reached a turnaround point that could eventually turn the stock into an income-generating machine? Will AI create the world's first trillionaire?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is all the rage on Wall Street these days, but not every AI stock is equally successful. Some of the bigger names in the field, like Nvidia, have seen their shares soar in recent years, while other, smaller ones, like Recursion Pharmaceuticals (RXRX 2.40%), continue to struggle. Recursion, a healthcare-focused AI company, could have some catalysts in the next 12 to 18 months, however. Can the stock bounce back this year? What Recursion Pharmaceuticals does Recursion Pharmaceuticals is helping pioneer the use of AI in drug discovery. The company's operating system tests clinical compounds and helps predict which ones are most likely to make it through the grueling clinical and regulatory hoops required before approval. While Recursion Pharmaceuticals was founded in 2013, more pharmaceutical leaders have been using AI to aid their processes in recent years. And last year, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that it was phasing out animal testing in favor of newer methods, including AI-based models. So, Recursion Pharmaceuticals was arguably ahead of the curve. However, the biotech has had little meaningful success. It currently has no approved products and no investigational medicines in late-stage studies. That could change in the next year or so. Recursion Pharmaceuticals plans to release data from ongoing early-stage clinical trials for various pipeline candidates. Now, since these are phase 1 studies (for the most part), which focus on safety and tolerability rather than efficacy, they are unlikely to significantly jolt the stock. So, even if Recursion Pharmaceuticals records decent clinical progress this year, it might not perform well on the stock market.

Hoppers , the new animated picture from Walt Disney Co. ’s Pixar studio, debuted as the highest-grossing film in US and Canadian theaters, delivering $46 million in ticket sales. The total, reported Sunday by Disney, marks the best opening for a new cast of Pixar characters since Coco took in $50.8 million in 2017. Boxoffice Pro, an industry tracker, expected sales of $40 million or more. The studio was forecasting $35 million to $40 million. The tally is welcome news for Disney. Pixar’s recent record has been mixed: Last year’s Elio underperformed, while in 2024 Inside Out 2 delivered almost $1.7 billion, making it the top film worldwide that year. Hoppers is the latest release in a strategic reset at Pixar, which now focuses on a balance of original work with sequels and spinoffs. In June, Disney will release Pixar’s Toy Story 5 . Directed by Daniel Chong, Hoppers follows the protagonist Mabel Tanaka, an environmental activist whose mind is transferred to a lifelike robotic beaver to communicate with animals and help save their habitat from destruction. It cost $150 million to make and scored 94% approval from critics on RottenTomatoes.com Read More: Disney Is Banking On Sequels to Help Get Pixar Back on Track Animation has been a bright spot for the Disney film division led by Alan Bergman , the company’s co-chair of entertainment. The December 2025 release Zootopia 2 has taken in $1.86 billion in global ticket sales, the most ever for a Disney animated picture. On March 18, Disney will be overhauling its leadership team, with theme-parks division head Josh D’Amaro becoming chief executive officer of the company and Dana Walden — the co-chair of entertainment alongside Bergman — becoming president and chief creative officer. D’Amaro will succeed Bob Iger , whose first major strategic move after being named CEO in 2005 was to acquire Pixar for $7.4 billion.

Baidu Inc. (NASDAQ:BIDU) is among the 10 most undervalued stocks to buy and hold for 10 years. On March 5, Barclays lowered its price target on Baidu Inc. (NASDAQ:BIDU) shares to $128 from $147 while maintaining an Equalweight rating, citing diverging trends between the company’s growing AI-related revenues and declining legacy advertising revenues. Barclays noted that the adoption of AI chatbots has created a substitution effect on traditional search, placing Baidu Inc. (NASDAQ:BIDU) in a position where AI chatbots may lower advertising monetization relative to traditional search. Leading AI players globally are still searching for viable and sizable monetization models. The firm expressed positive views on the chips created by Kunlun, a company that is 60% owned by Baidu Inc. (NASDAQ:BIDU), with industry contacts confirming technical performance. In addition, Barclays said it maintained its Equalweight rating on Baidu Inc. (NASDAQ:BIDU) stock due to ongoing pressure on the core advertising business, which carries high margins, and limited visibility of a bottom for that segment. Baidu (BIDU) Sees Lower Price Target from Barclays Copyright: mikkolem / 123RF Stock Photo Meanwhile, on the same day, analysts at Susquehanna raised their price target on Baidu Inc. (NASDAQ:BIDU) from $110 to $120. Baidu Inc. (NASDAQ:BIDU) provides internet search, online entertainment, and online marketing services, including search-based, feed-based, and other services. While we acknowledge the potential of BIDU as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

Having taken time to reflect, there were also several mitigating circumstances which led to this: This was the first time a game at Elland Road has ever been paused to allow players observing Ramadan to break their fast and in hindsight we should have been more proactive with our communications in advance of the Manchester City fixture to explain to supporters that this was going to happen, there was a clear lack of awareness by some attending the fixture.” Read the full statement from Leeds here.

Biden Tells Majority Black Crowd: 'I'm A Hell Of A Lot Smarter Than Most Of You' Authored by Luis Cornelio via Headline USA , Former President Joe Biden made a rare public appearance Friday and drew criticism over what some observers described as a racially insensitive remark. Speaking at the funeral of civil rights leader Rev. Jesse Jackson, Biden told attendees — including prominent civil rights figures and other notable guests — “I’m a hell of a lot smarter than most of you.” Biden made the comment during a roughly 20-minute speech honoring Jackson while recounting a story about his childhood and how he was mocked for having a stutter. “I, as a kid, was a relatively good athlete and pretty good student, but I stuttered — to talk like that,” Biden said, while mimicking his childhood stutter. The crowd responded with laughter. “Now, if I told you all earlier, when I was a kid, I had a cleft palate or club foot, none of you would have laughed,” Biden continued. “But it’s okay to laugh at stuttering. I’m not being critical of you, but think about it. It’s the one place where people think you’re stupid. Oh, really? I’m a hell of a lot smarter than most of you.” Biden then added, “All kidding aside, it makes you feel really small. It makes you feel really small.” On X, some conservative critics pointed out that Biden made the remark while speaking at the funeral of a civil rights leader before a crowd that included several well-known black leaders and public figures. Among those in attendance were former President Barack Obama, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and former Vice President Kamala Harris. Other notable black figures present included filmmaker and actor Tyler Perry, leftist activist Cornel West, NBA Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas and singer Jennifer Hudson. Several other political figures also attended the funeral, including former President Bill Clinton, twice-failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Illinois Gov. J. B. Pritzker and California Gov. Gavin New...

Reports are swirling that Elon Musk is planning an IPO for SpaceX this summer. Now that Musk’s merged the rocket enterprise with xAI, another pillar of his empire, he expects the combination to raise $50 billion in capital, and garner a market cap of $1.5 trillion. At those numbers, SpaceX would notch the biggest single IPO capital raise of all time, and also rank as second highest in total valuation to Saudi Aramco, and far ahead of second place Alibaba’s introduction in 2018 at $167 million. Until SpaceX publishes its prospectus for the offering, we won’t have a detailed look at its financials. We do, however, have important snippets of information. Musk’s stated that SpaceX generated some $15 billion revenues last year, and it’s been widely reported that it booked roughly $8 billion in EBITDA. The scenario circulating widely in the media, and not refuted by Musk, shows a loss of $2.4 billion for the first 9 months of 2025. These numbers don’t include interest and depreciation, the latter SpaceX’s outlays for plant and equipment. Knitting this limited view of the now-united businesses, it appears likely that the current SpaceX is showing zero or even negative GAAP earnings. The epic valuation may doom SpaceX stock by setting the bar too high Hence, SpaceX can’t be valued on its current profits, but only on its prospects from gigantic growth in the most pioneering of industries whose future trajectory is also unknowable. However, we do know two things about SpaceX that should give investors big worries about a $1.5 trillion valuation. The first: These are the ultimate in capital intensive enterprises. Musk announced SpaceX’s intention to build 10,000 fully reusable Starlink rockets, each over 400 feet tall. At a cost that Payload Research estimates at $35 million each, that’s $350 billion in cash for the like of krypton-gas burners, solar arrays, and stainless steel alloy. xAI is a major builder of high-cost data centers than run such products as its GROK chatbot. ...

Key Points Bitcoin derives value from its scarcity and its legacy as a crypto asset. Cardano derives value from its potential use in smart contracts. One of these two coins is still trying to find users. 10 stocks we like better than Bitcoin › If you've got $1,000 you don't need for other things, and you want it to grow via investing in crypto, you'll need to look beyond which chart looks pretty this week. That's especially true considering leading cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Cardano (CRYPTO: ADA) are both down by around 27% in the last 30 days. But the future will likely look quite different than the recent past for both of these assets, so let's examine each and determine which is the better place to allocate $1,000. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » Bitcoin's edge is that it can stay mostly the same Bitcoin's supply famously has a hard supply cap of just 21 million coins that can ever exist, and a schedule that slows new issuance from mining over time through events called halvings. The scarcity implied by those supply dynamics are part of the reason why it's considered to be a store of value, even if its price can't be counted on to be the same across any given set of days. More importantly, demand for the coin has a very big on-ramp that is likely to drive demand over time. The existence of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) since 2024 means that anyone with a brokerage or retirement account can buy and hold the asset very conveniently. With a very rough start to 2026, U.S. Bitcoin ETFs collectively saw about $1.1 billion in outflows from Feb. 10 through Feb. 23. But the odds are very strong that the same scarcity and value features that drove investors to load up in 2025 will lure them back once again, as there aren't many other digital stores of valu...
