This action may have shocked some old-line conservatives who still thought of Heritage as a serious institution, but Heritage is, after all, just a think tank. It’s not as if upside-down flags were being flown by people we expect to defend our constitutional order, like Supreme Court justices. Why would billionaires support Trump? Stock prices — which Trump predicted would crash if he lost in 2020 — have soared. High interest rates, which are a burden on many Americans, are if anything a net positive for wealthy people with money to invest.

Psusennes I reused this sarcophagus that once belonged to Merneptah, the son and successor of Ramesses II.

I know we’ll want to talk about the Hunter Biden trial. The long and short of it is that Texan Latinos, once reliably Democratic, are turning against Joe Biden on account of the border chaos. Or does it merely confirm that the administration sat on its hands for more than three years while the crisis got worse? Gail Collins: Bret, there are parts of Texas that are the natural first destinations for people crossing the border illegally. That’s a crisis, but I think you’ve agreed with me in the past that overall, the influx of immigrants has been terrific for the national economy.

The pressure is heating up on Apple to flaunt its AI potential at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference Monday. Shares of Apple have lagged major technology peers since the start of the year, rising just 1.5%. While the Apple event isn't typically regarded as a big market-moving stock catalyst, the highly anticipated announcement of new generative AI-enabled features changes the narrative this year, Woodring said. He added that shares tend to underperform the S & P 500 by 10 basis points on average on the day of the event. The analyst retained a $225 price target on Apple shares, implying 14% upside from Friday's close.

Each June, Apple unveils its newest software features for the iPhone at its futuristic Silicon Valley campus. What will be different this time is the technology powering Siri: generative artificial intelligence. In recent months, Adrian Perica, Apple’s vice president of corporate development, has helped spearhead an effort to bring generative A.I. companies, including Google and OpenAI, seeking a partner to help Apple deliver generative A.I. Apple recently struck a deal with OpenAI, which makes the ChatGPT chatbot, to fold its technology into the iPhone, two people familiar with the agreement said.

CNN —A critical highway linking Idaho and Wyoming has closed indefinitely after a portion of the road cracked and then collapsed in a “catastrophic landslide” Saturday, officials said. Mark Gordon said in a post on Facebook there is no estimated timeline for reopening Teton Pass, which links Victor, Idaho, and Jackson, Wyoming. The initial crack appeared Thursday morning across both lanes of travel, the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT) said in a post on Facebook at the time. “No crews were hurt in the process, and no equipment was damaged.”Cracks in the roadway on Teton Pass are seen on Friday, June 7, 2024, the day before its "catastrophic failure." The Teton Pass corridor “serves as a critical commuter route and facilitates the transport of goods and services that are lifelines to the growing regional economies in Wyoming and Idaho,” according to the US Department of Transportation.

The second line of Broadcom's AI business is custom processors, where the company is best-known for co-designing Alphabet's tensor processing units, or TPUs. Google-parent Alphabet and Broadcom have collaborated on the creation of the AI chips for years, with the sixth-generation TPU being announced last month .

Trump in liberal San Francisco for high-dollar tech fundraiser

(Photo by Eva Marie Uzcategui/Getty Images)Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump will attend a fundraiser hosted by two tech venture capitalists in San Francisco on Thursday, a high-dollar event expected to draw Silicon Valley investors turned off by the Biden administration's policies. Trevor Traina, a San Francisco-based tech executive and former Trump ambassador to Austria, said business regulations implemented during Biden's presidency had alienated some people in the tech industry. Trump's campaign raked in record amounts after the guilty verdict last week, and the San Francisco event will add to his coffers. Vance, a potential running mate for Trump who previously lived in San Francisco and worked in venture capital, will attend the event, according to a source familiar with his plans. San Francisco remains a fertile fundraising ground for Democrats.

"The model of AI chip startups needing to raise 10s to 100s of millions of dollars before they actually test product market fit is insane," he added.
