While many cities are testing out basic income programs, they haven't been universal and instead targeted specific groups in need like artists, new parents, low-income families, or people experiencing homelessness. Republican lawmakers have introduced bills to ban basic income programs in their states, with some arguing that handing out checks with no strings attached would disincentivize work and raise taxes.

In January, U.S. bitcoin miner Core Scientific was bankrupt and battling angry lenders. Core Scientific will deliver an additional 112 megawatts of computing infrastructure to support CoreWeave's operations. Core Scientific said the deal will generate an additional $2 billion in revenue over 12 years, on top of an existing arrangement that's expected to bring in $4.7 billion. In total, the company plans to provide about 382 megawatts of infrastructure to CoreWeave by the first half of 2026, with the possibility of adding 118 megawatts at other Core Scientific sites. "We've seen tremendous growth since our emergence in January and have been laser focused on developing best-in-class digital infrastructure," Core Scientific CEO Adam Sullivan told CNBC.

☆ Harris Campaign Says It Raised $310 Million in July, More Than Double Trump’s Haul

Neither campaign disclosed precisely how much of the money was raised or held by the campaigns themselves versus their allied party committees. But after Mr. Biden dropped out of the race on July 21, the fund-raising spigot was opened wide. The $200 million that the Harris campaign said it had raised in the week after Mr. Biden ended his re-election bid was more than Mr. Biden’s haul in the first three months of the year. The $139 million raised in July amounted to one of the Trump team’s strongest fund-raising months to date, just off the sum raised in May, when Mr. Trump’s supporters responded to his felony conviction with $141 million in donations. In June, when Mr. Biden was still atop the ticket, his campaign raised $127 million and ended the month with $240 million on hand, all before the history-making events that would unfold over the next four weeks.

CNN —Donald Trump’s campaign said Thursday that its political operation raised $138.7 million in July for the former president’s election effort – and amassed $327 million in cash reserves for the roughly three-month sprint to the election. Trump’s total represents a jump from June, when the former president’s campaign and aligned committees reported bringing in nearly $112 million. But the July total was dwarfed by the fundraising haul of his newly minted Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, whose campaign said it raked in a whopping $310 million in its July fundraising efforts. In a short statement, the Trump campaign said that the total reflected “continued momentum with donors” and that the large stockpile of campaign dollars ensures Trump would have the resources to prevail on Election Day. Presidential campaigns will file the full details of their July fundraising and spending later this month.

The Trump campaign said that it and its allied groups had raised $139 million in July, an enormous sum — but well short of the $200 million Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign said it brought in amid a huge burst of enthusiasm about her candidacy. The sum cited by the Trump campaign on Thursday sent it and its allies into August with $327 million in their bank accounts. It makes July one of the Trump team’s strongest fund-raising months to date, just off the sum raised in May, when Mr. Trump’s supporters responded to his felony conviction with an outpouring of donations totaling $141 million. The Harris campaign had not announced its own numbers as of Thursday afternoon. But based on previous self-disclosures, the month of July will be a study in sudden reversals.

"We still prefer Dividend stocks given cautious risk sentiment in Asia/EM and see support in valuations for quality dividend stocks due to their defensiveness. Investor appetite on corporate reform and shareholder return theme in Asia/EM also remain high, which are likely to benefit dividend stocks."
