A top Trump adviser added: “Hamas Harris bent the knee to antisemitic, anti-Israel radicals on the left by leapfrogging Shapiro. “She outsmarted herself,” said Matt Gorman, a longtime Republican operative and veteran of presidential campaigns who is not working for the Trump campaign. “Many, many people said repeatedly that the reason Kamala Harris was going away from the Josh Shapiro selection is because they were worried about antisemitism. “To her credit, Kamala Harris put policy over politics by picking a radical liberal,” Taylor Budowich, the CEO for the Trump-aligned MAGA Inc. super PAC, said.

AdvertisementSeveral cities have been trying to take advantage of the new policy, including Dubai, Milan, and more. A recently relocated hedge fund manager in Milan is planning to visit London or New York six or seven times a year going forward. "The best type of knowledge comes from people, from frequent interaction with people," said a Milan-based hedge fund manager. Several people — based in spots such as Dubai, Milan, and Zurich — mentioned that people early in their careers should still prioritize working in the biggest cities though. Moving to the Middle East just to interact with fellow UK ex-pats doesn't add much diversification to a portfolio manager's life.

Since 1960, every host city for the Games overspent their budget by building new venues like Olympic villages and public infrastructure. In contrast, the 2024 Paris Summer Games are set to become one of the cheapest in modern history. The total budget for the 2024 Olympics is an estimated $9.7 billion, with 95 percent of the necessary venues already built.

About 10,000 athletes, a record 8.6 million tickets sold and billions of television viewers worldwide: That's the Olympics, and they are set to start on Friday in Paris. Since the 1960s, every city hosting the Olympics exceeded its initial budget by a large margin, according to an Oxford University study. Spending at the 2024 Paris Olympics is expected to come in at under $10 billion — only about 25% over the initial budget, according to an S&P Global Ratings report. About 95% of the venues slated for use during the Paris Olympics existed prior to the city's winning bid to host the Games, according to the S&P Global Ratings report.

Darren Walker, the president of the Ford Foundation, one of the nation’s largest and most influential philanthropies, recently recalled the day his assistant excitedly told him that President Barack Obama wanted to meet him. He gently corrected her. “I said that President Obama wants to meet with the president of the Ford Foundation — he isn’t interested in meeting with Darren Walker,” he said. “It’s important to have that clarity so that when the day comes that you’re no longer president of the Ford Foundation, you can still find joy and happiness and satisfaction.”For Mr. Walker, who turns 65 next month, that day will soon arrive. He announced Monday that he would step down as the president of the Ford Foundation at the end of 2025 after what will have been a consequential 12-year tenure in which he shifted the institution’s focus to inequality and oversaw the distribution of $7 billion in grants.

Outlet malls have been an American staple for shoppers since the 1930s. Historically, outlets were attached to the factories where apparel was made, selling out-of-season, overrun or faulty merchandise at a discount to employees. In 2023, the U.S. outlet industry was a $64.9 billion industry, with 342 centers spread across the nation, according to IBISWorld. That's what draws them into our shopping centers," said Stephen Yalof, CEO of Tanger Outlets .

Over the years, McDonald's has been able to fold in some noncore items — namely, coffee and chicken. It's not just consumer demand that's keeping McDonald's menu limited to the more-traditional, less-than-body-boosting items — it's its franchisees, too.

Yet, it gathered some 18 million views in 24 hours on X, where it was reposted by pro-Russian influencers. A CNN analysis shows Verite Cachee was set up recently, on June 22, 2024, and some of its pages still have prompts with AI to create fake articles at the top of the piece. They then integrate the story through social media, starting with real pro-Russian influencers who are part of their network,” he told CNN. A report by Recorded Future, a leading cybersecurity company, also identified Veritee Cachee as being part of the same disinformation network. Given the size and resources of the network, it is likely some Russian support or financing is happening, Clément Briens, a senior threat intelligence analyst at the company, told CNN.
