The political arm of Everytown for Gun Safety plans to spend $9 million to boost Democratic candidates in state legislative contests in five states, the group's first investment in such races this election cycle. “So much of the national progress we’ve made on gun safety can be traced back to pioneering laws passed at the state level,” Everytown for Gun Safety President John Feinblatt said in a statement. “Over the last few election cycles, Everytown has built a winning playbook for electing gun sense champions in key state legislative seats in order to flip chambers and pass life-saving legislation,” he added. The States Project, a Democratic-aligned group, plans to spend $70 million on state legislative races in nine states this cycle, while Forward Majority, a Democratic super PAC, plans to spend $45 million.

☆ Use these 2 words to help successfully negotiate your next raise: 'Curious people make more money'

Salary negotiation advice tends to focus on leaning in, presenting evidence of your competence, and emphasizing that what you want is not only reasonable, but earned. All of this is sound guidance, but doesn't touch on what might be the most effective skill for upping your salary: asking questions. In her recent TED Talk, United Nations negotiation trainer Alex Carter says this is the "one negotiation technique that most of us are not using." "Bottom line, in negotiation you get more by asking questions than you do by arguing," Carter says. "Curious people make more money."

Tax-loss harvesting is a common year-end method used by investors and money managers to minimize taxes. The practice involves selling off losing positions to offset taxes on realized capital gains incurred on winning investments. To find the names worth selling, CNBC Pro used its stock-screening tool to hunt for names with a market cap exceeding $1 billion. The cloud platform company's stock has lost roughly 57% this year, with the average price target implying that shares could fall about 18%. Back in August, he slashed his price target to $5.50 from $8.50, noting that Fastly took "a meat cleaver to CY24 outlook."

And Trump is all but guaranteed to resurface at the Supreme Court in coming weeks to clarify the sweeping criminal immunity the court bestowed on him in July. “As matters stand now, this feels like the court is keeping its powder dry in case the election explodes,” Carter Phillips, a veteran Supreme Court litigator, told CNN early last week. A poll released by the Annenberg Public Policy Center on Wednesday found 56% of Americans disapprove of the Supreme Court. Take, for instance, Trump’s ban on travel from predominately Muslim nations, which made repeat trips to the Supreme Court.
