鈥淒efinitely bummed that I鈥檓 going to have to be missing some time, but overall happy that it doesn鈥檛 look like it鈥檚 going to be anything serious. No surgery required or anything like that,” Fried said before the Subway Series opener Friday night against the New York Mets at Citi Field.

“So, never want to go on the IL and miss games, but also understand that the long-term outlook still looks good.鈥�

The 32-year-old lefty had an MRI and CT scan Thursday, a day after following the third inning. He also was examined by Yankees team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad.

鈥淚 feel it a little bit on just full extension right now. But it鈥檚 minimal,鈥� Fried said. 鈥淚 would say it鈥檚 more intense when I鈥檓 throwing. But I think that just with some rest and being able to focus on the recovery, we鈥檙e optimistic about it.鈥�

New York said Fried will be placed on the 15-day injured list and the imaging will be reviewed by Los Angeles Dodgers team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache. The Yankees said repeat imaging will be taken in a few weeks or when Fried is asymptomatic to determine when he can resume throwing. A more specific projection for his return to the mound will be determined then.

鈥淚 think we鈥檙e looking at a little bit of an ambiguous timeline. Just understanding that everyone’s bodies are going to heal differently,” Fried said. 鈥淚’m going to get back as soon as I possibly can.鈥�

Fried had Tommy John surgery in 2014. The three-time All-Star said his reconstructed UCL is not injured.

鈥淣o worries long term,鈥� he said. 鈥淟igament looks good.”

Fried is 4-3 with a 3.21 ERA in 10 starts after going 19-5 with a 2.86 ERA and making the All-Star team last season, his first with the Yankees. He left Atlanta as a free agent to sign a with New York in December 2024.

鈥淚 think in some ways good news, in that the ligament鈥檚 in good shape and just a matter of how the timeline鈥檚 going to shake out,” manager Aaron Boone said. “But I think long term, feel like we鈥檙e in a good spot. So we鈥檒l just kind of listen to the body here over the next days and weeks and see what ultimately that timeline leads to.鈥�

New York began the day 27-17, two games behind first-place Tampa Bay in the AL East. Yankees starters had a 3.14 ERA, third-best in the majors behind Atlanta (2.96) and Tampa Bay (3.00), and the team appears to have enough depth to weather Fried’s absence.

Gerrit Cole is nearing a return from . Cole has made five minor league rehab starts, and Boone said the 2023 AL Cy Young Award winner probably will make two more before his season debut in the big leagues.

Cole is scheduled to start Saturday for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and Boone said the team won’t accelerate the right-hander’s timeline just because of Fried’s injury.

鈥淭he likelihood is two more with him and then we’ll be in position to roll,鈥� Boone said. 鈥淒on’t want to take him off track just for a short-term need. When he’s ready, then he’ll insert in.鈥�

New York鈥檚 rotation also includes Cam Schlittler, Will Warren and Ryan Weathers. Boone said the Yankees had started talking about who will replace Fried for now, but no final decision had been made.

Luis Gil, the 2024 AL Rookie of the Year, has been in the minors for much of the season and was placed on the injured list last Friday because of right shoulder inflammation.

The trial centered on whether Weinstein raped , a hairstylist and actor, in 2013 during a relationship between the then-married Weinstein and the decades-younger Mann. Weinstein鈥檚 lawyers argued that the encounter was consensual, while Mann described a hotel-room encounter when he forced himself upon her.

The current jury heard nearly three weeks of testimony, including from Mann. Weinstein decided not to testify.

Here鈥檚 what you need to know about the case:

Why has the case gone to trial three times?

Weinstein was initially , but an appeals court after the court ruled the trial judge unfairly allowed testimony against Weinstein based on allegations that weren鈥檛 part of the case.

Jurors at a retrial last year convicted Weinstein of one count of criminal sex act and acquitted him of another. But they on Mann’s rape charge when the foreperson refused to participate further, leaving the case unresolved and leading to the retrial that ended as a mistrial Friday.

Why did this case ended in a mistrial?

On the third day of deliberations, the jury told the judge they were stuck, but he told them to keep trying. Ultimately, they sent another note saying: 鈥淲e feel that no one is going to change where they stand.鈥�

When a jury in criminal court cannot reach a unanimous decision, the judge typically declares a mistrial.

Some jurors on the majority-male Manhattan jury questioned the credibility of Mann鈥檚 testimony and said outside court that nine out of 12 wanted to acquit Weinstein.

A juror, Josh Hadar, said Mann had an 鈥渋ncredible memory鈥� when she testified for the prosecution but 鈥渇orgot a lot of things鈥� when questioned by defense attorneys.

Mann underwent of fraught, often tearful testimony that included hours of questioning at a time.

Will there be a fourth trial?

District Attorney Alvin Bragg said his staff will consult Mann about another trial and also take into account what happens to Weinstein when he is sentenced for his conviction from the last trial.

A hearing was set for June 24 for prosecutors to decide if they will go to a fourth trial.

Is Weinstein still in prison?

Weinstein had been in a New York prison serving a 23-year sentence after his initial conviction in 2020. After that was overturned, he remained behind bars because he was convicted in Los Angeles in 2022 of rape and sexual assault and to 16 years in prison. He is currently being held at the Rikers Island jail while awaiting further legal proceedings.

What crimes has Weinstein already been convicted of?

During a retrial last June, Weinstein was convicted of one count of criminal sex act, when a jury found he forcibly performed oral sex on a TV and movie producer and production assistant, Miriam Haley, nearly two decades ago.

She had worked on the Weinstein-produced show 鈥淧roject Runway” and testified that he assaulted her in July 2006 after inviting her to stop by his SoHo apartment before a flight. Weinstein is appealing the conviction.

In Los Angeles, he was convicted during a December 2022 trial of one count of rape and two counts of sexual assault against an Italian actor and model. The woman said he arrived uninvited at her hotel room during a 2013 film festival in the run-up to the Oscars, talking his way in and assaulting her.

The Associated Press does not identify people who say they have been sexually assaulted, unless they choose to make their names public, as Mann and Haley have done.

Trump has championed the case of Peters, a 70-year-old former county clerk who was sentenced to nine years behind bars in a scheme to make a copy of her county鈥檚 election computer system. She gets released June 1.

In April, a Colorado appeals court upheld her conviction but ordered Peters to be resentenced because it said the judge who sent her to prison wrongly punished her for speaking out about election fraud, a decision that Polis praised.

In a letter to Peters, Polis wrote that Peters was convicted of serious crimes and deserved to spend time in prison. 鈥淗owever, this is an extremely unusual and lengthy sentence for a first time offender who committed nonviolent crimes,鈥� the governor wrote.

He added Peters’ application 鈥渄emonstrates taking responsibility for your crimes, and a commitment to follow the law going forward.鈥�

President Donald Trump posted around the time of the announcement on his Truth Social platform: 鈥淔REE TINA!鈥�

鈥楢ffront to the rule of law鈥�

Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, a Democrat, said 鈥渋t was a dark day for democracy鈥� and 鈥漵elling out our state鈥檚 justice system for Trump is an affront to the rule of law.鈥�

鈥淎 clear message is being sent to those willing to break the law and attack democracy for the president 鈥� they will likely not face consequences for their actions,鈥� Griswold said at a news conference.

Peters has been serving at a prison in Pueblo after being convicted in 2024 by jurors in Mesa County, a Republican stronghold that supported Trump.

Peters snuck in an outside computer expert, an associate of , to make a copy of her county鈥檚 Dominion Voting Systems election computer server as state officials updated it in 2021. After Peters joined Lindell onstage at a 鈥渃ybersymposium鈥� that promised to reveal proof of election rigging, video and photos of the upgrade, including passwords, were posted online.

After the commutation, Peters issued a statement through her attorney thanking Polis and apologizing.

鈥淔ive years ago I misled the Secretary of State when allowing a person to gain access to county voting equipment. That was wrong,鈥� Peters said. 鈥淚 have learned and grown during my time in prison and going forward I will make sure that my actions always follow the law, and I will avoid the mistakes of the past.鈥�

She also condemned threats and violence against voters, county clerks and election workers.

Gubernatorial candidates weigh in

Sen Michael Bennet, a Democrat who is running for Colorado governor, said he vehemently disagreed with the commutation and that Peters knowingly broke the law, undermined elections and was convicted by a jury.

鈥淟awlessness only breeds more lawlessness,鈥� Bennet said. “With President Trump continuing to attack Colorado, we must do everything we can to stand strong for our institutions and the rule of law.鈥�

A Republican candidate for governor, state Sen. Barbara Kirkmeyer, said she would have preferred that the trial judge revisit Peters’ sentence as ordered by the appeals court before the governor considered any commutation.

鈥淎 commutation or pardon by a governor should be reserved for truly extraordinary circumstances,” Kirkmeyer wrote in a statement. 鈥淭he governor has a responsibility to apply justice fairly, consistently, and without bias.鈥�

Trump championed her cause

Peters was convicted of state, not federal, crimes, which put her beyond the reach of Trump鈥檚 pardon power that he used to free those convicted of on the U.S. Capitol. But the president still championed her cause.

Trump has lambasted both Polis, calling him a 鈥淪cumbag Governor,鈥� and the Republican district attorney who prosecuted her, Daniel Rubinstein, for keeping Peters in prison. He has referred to Peters, as 鈥渆lderly鈥� and 鈥渟ick.鈥� Earlier this year, Trump uninvited Polis from with governors over the case.

The president said Colorado was 鈥渟uffering a big price鈥� for refusing to release her. His administration has been , ending federal programs and . It also announced the dismantling of the in Colorado and the U.S. Space Command to Alabama.

Matt Crane, executive director of the Colorado County Clerks Association, said the commutation 鈥渟ignals that it is open season on our election and election officials.鈥�

鈥淕ov. Polis is bending the knee to the same political voices and conspiracy theories that are undermining belief in our democratic institutions,鈥� Crane said. 鈥淭his is now Gov. Polis鈥� legacy. He will not be able to run from it.鈥�

Tina Peters’ declining health in prison

Peters鈥� lawyers have said her health has declined in prison. Peters, who had part of her right lung removed in 2017, started coughing frequently after the prison鈥檚 heating system was turned on for the winter and has had trouble sleeping on her mattress because of chronic pain from fibromyalgia, her lawyers said.

In January, Peters was involved in a scuffle with another inmate but was found not guilty of assault following a prison disciplinary hearing, Colorado Department of Corrections spokesperson Alondra Gonzalez-Garcia said. Peters was found guilty of being in a location without authorization.

The federal Bureau of Prisons to get Peters moved to a federal prison. But in January, Polis said he was considering granting clemency for Peters, calling her sentence 鈥渦nusual and harsh鈥� for a first-time, nonviolent offender. In March he in a lengthy post on the social media platform X.

鈥淛ustice in Colorado and America needs to be applied evenly,鈥� Polis wrote.

After receiving blowback from other top Democratic leaders in the state, including the attorney general and Colorado鈥檚 top elections official, Polis told a Denver television station that Peters would have to show 鈥渁ppropriate contrition, apology鈥� to be considered for clemency.

In contrast to some other Democratic governors, Polis, who prides himself on being a political iconoclast, has taken toward Trump. While he criticized Trump鈥檚 stance on tariffs and immigration, Polis praised earlier moves by the president such as the Department of Government Efficiency, run by billionaire Elon Musk, and the nomination of vaccine critic Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to run the Department of Health and Human Service.

The deal represents a breakthrough in the U.S. aerospace company’s efforts to reenter a market once central to its long-term growth.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One as he returned from Beijing, Trump said China also reserved the right to buy as many as 750 Boeing aircraft as part of the deal. Boeing confirmed the 200-plane order later Friday but did not specify the types of planes or provide any other details.

鈥淲e had a very successful trip to China and accomplished our major goal of reopening the China market to orders for Boeing aircraft,” the company said in a statement, adding that looked forward to “continually addressing China鈥檚 aircraft demand.鈥�

Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg was among of American CEOs who joined Trump during the president’s trip to Beijing, seeking to sell products and services to China.

Trump said the potential aircraft deal also would benefit General Electric, which he said would supply 400 to 450 engines to China. GE Aerospace Chairman and CEO H. Lawrence Culp also joined the president on his trip. The company did not immediately comment on the agreement.

Last month, Ortberg expressed confidence that any broad U.S.-China trade agreement to emerge when Trump and Xi met would be a 鈥渕eaningful opportunity鈥� for Boeing.

鈥淧resident Trump has been very focused on supporting us in international campaigns, and he鈥檚 been very successful in doing that,鈥� Ortberg told investors.

Since Trump began serving his second term, his administration has made Boeing a focus of its plans to revive U.S. manufacturing.

A a year ago culminated in major aircraft agreements, including a Qatar Airways order for up to 210 Boeing jets in what the planemaker described at the time as its largest-ever widebody aircraft order. Saudi Arabia also placed commercial jetliner orders during the trip.

Other major Boeing agreements have followed meetings between Trump and foreign leaders. In August, Korean Air formalized to buy more than 100 Boeing aircraft, spare engines and long-term maintenance services during South Korean President Lee Jae Myung鈥檚 visit to Washington.

The following month, a day after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo臒an met with Trump in Washington, Turkish Airlines said it planned to to its fleet.

In another win for Boeing, the biennial Air Show opened in November with hometown airline of Boeing鈥檚 upcoming 777-9 aircraft. Days later, FlyDubai, the lower-cost sister carrier of Emirates, 75 additional Boeing 737 MAX aircraft.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, roughly a third of the narrowbody airliners Boeing delivered went to China. But the company’s business there plummeted as U.S.-China relations soured.

China also was the first country to ground the in 2019 after two of the then-new models crashed less than five months apart in Indonesia and Ethiopia, . Chinese airlines did not resume Max flights until January 2023, much later than carriers in many other countries.

Ortberg as Boeing’s CEO in 2024, a calamitous year for the company. In January of that year, a panel known as a 737 Max shortly after takeoff from Portland, Oregon. Boeing faced as it came under intensifying scrutiny over alleged production and quality failures.

While there were some hopes this week’s U.S.-China summit would result in concrete trade deal announcements, the president’s trip ended with a lot of uncertainty about what the two sides agreed on, said Bonnie Glaser, managing director of the Indo-Pacific program at the German Marshall Fund.

Glaser told a media briefing Friday that there had been little concrete information about trade agreements from the summit, including on Chinese purchases of U.S. exports such as soybeans, liquefied natural gas and beef.

鈥淎ll that we have is really what the president has told the world that China has agreed to,鈥� Glaser said.

Flames tore through Robbins Lumber in Searsmont, a town of about 1,500 people about 95 miles (153 kilometers) from Portland, authorities said.

鈥淭here鈥檚 been a huge explosion. The silo just exploded. Multiple firefighters injured,鈥� a first responder said, according to scanner traffic from Kennebec, Somerset and Waldo County fire departments recorded by

MaineHealth Maine Medical Center in Portland, which has a Level 1 trauma designation, said it was treating 10 patients who had been transferred from local hospitals. Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor was treating one patient who was in critical condition, a spokesperson said.

Authorities said they were investigating the cause of the blast, and expected a long and time-consuming investigation into what caused the silo explosion.

鈥淲e have not even really begun a scene examination, so we do not have a cause, and may not have one for some time. We have a tremendous amount of work to do,鈥� Maine fire marshal Shawn Esler said.

Maine State Police and fire marshals responded to the fire, state police spokesperson Shannon Moss said. Local emergency responders also went to the scene, which was still active late Friday afternoon, hours after the fire began.

鈥淲e have dumped all of the resources from the whole county over to that area,鈥� Waldo County 911 director Mike Larrivee said.

Robbins Lumber’s website describes the company as a 鈥渉igh-tech lumber manufacturer鈥� that has been in existence since 1881 and family-owned for five generations.

Christian Halsted, a family spokesperson, said the fire had been a 鈥渉ugely devastating day for the family鈥� and the mill will not be operating in the near future. The family was cooperating with authorities on the investigation, he said.

Lumber and wood products are a critical and historic industry in Maine. The Maine Forest Products Council said the industry contributed more than $8 billion to the state’s economy in 2024 and provides about 29,000 jobs.

Public officials including Gov. Janet Mills said Friday that they were monitoring the response to the blaze.

鈥淚 urge folks to stay clear of the area, follow the instructions of law enforcement, and allow emergency personnel to respond. I ask Maine people to join me in keeping all those affected in their thoughts,鈥� Mills posted on X.

WASHINGTON (AP) 鈥� The Supreme Court on Friday rejected Virginia鈥檚 bid to restore a congressional map that would have given Democrats a chance to pick up four seats in the closely divided House of Representatives.

The court鈥檚 order, issued without any noted dissent, is the latest twist in the nation鈥檚 . It was kicked off last year by President Donald Trump to redraw their lines and was supercharged by a recent severely weakening the Voting Rights Act that opened up even more winnable seats for the GOP.

In recent days, the justices have sided with Republicans in Alabama and Louisiana who hope to redo their congressional maps to produce more GOP-leaning seats following the court鈥檚 voting rights decision.

But the Virginia situation was different, stemming from a 4-3 ruling by the Virginia Supreme Court that a constitutional amendment that just last month.

The state court found that the Democratic-controlled legislature improperly began the process of placing the amendment on the ballot after early voting had begun in Virginia鈥檚 general election last fall.

The Supreme Court typically doesn鈥檛 intervene in state court proceedings unless they present an issue of federal law. Virginia Democrats had hoped to persuade the justices that the Virginia court misread federal law and Supreme Court precedent that hold that, even if early voting is underway, an election does not happen until Election Day itself.

Virginia鈥檚 amendment had been intended as a response to Republican gains in Texas, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio, and to blunt a new map in Florida that just became law. Once the Virginia amendment passed, it briefly turned the nationwide redistricting scramble into a draw between the two parties.

That was unraveled by the Virginia Supreme Court鈥檚 decision.

It鈥檚 possible Democrats could use the high court鈥檚 rejection of their bid, while also blessing Republican efforts in Alabama and Louisiana, in election-year messaging about a partisan Supreme Court.

The state鈥檚 top Democrats disagreed about whether it was even too late for help from the Supreme Court. 鈥淭ime grows short, but it is not yet too late,鈥� lawyers for the Democratic leaders of the legislature as well as the state told the justices in a brief filed Friday.

A day earlier, the office of Democratic Gov. Abigail Spanberger already had confirmed that the state will hold this year鈥檚 elections under the current districts established in 2021. Last month, Virginia Commissioner of Elections Steve Koski said a court order was needed by this past Tuesday to set the district lines for primary elections on Aug. 4.

The leader of the state’s Republican party said the justices made the right call. 鈥淲isely, the Supreme Court of the United States has confirmed the judgment of the Supreme Court of Virginia,鈥� state party chairman Jeff Ryer said. 鈥淭his should once and for all put to rest the Democrats鈥� effort to disenfranchise half of Virginia.鈥�

Attorneys representing voters asked a state judge to block the new districts from being used in the midterm elections and instead reinstate districts used for previous elections. Such a move would create a significant wrinkle in President Donald Trump’s attempt to hold on to a narrow House majority by to the GOP’s advantage. The judge gave no timetable for when he will rule.

Florida’s new House map is part of a national redistricting battle that gained steam last year when Trump urged Texas Republicans to redraw the state’s congressional districts. On Friday, refused to declare that Democratic lawmakers had vacated their offices when they to block a redistricting vote.

The Florida Legislature approved a new House map on April 29 鈥� the same day the U.S. Supreme Court weakened protections for minorities while striking down a majority-Black congressional district in Louisiana. Since then, several have taken steps to try to eliminate minority districts that have elected Democrats.

On Friday, Democratic of Tennessee announced that he is ending his reelection bid. His decision came a week after Tennessee Republicans enacted that carves up Cohen鈥檚 majority-Black district in Memphis. The new map gives Republicans a shot at winning all nine of Tennessee’s U.S. House seats.

Republicans already hold 20 of Florida鈥檚 28 U.S. House seats. signed into law by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis after a swift two-day special legislative session could improve the GOP鈥檚 chances to win four additional seats in the November elections.

Congressional districts typically are redrawn once a decade, after each census, to rebalance populations. But since Trump urged mid-decade redistricting last year, Republicans think they could gain as many as 15 seats from new House maps in Texas, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Florida, Tennessee and Alabama. Democrats, meanwhile, think they could gain six seats from new maps in California and Utah.

Democrats had counted on winning up to four additional seats in Virginia. But the last week struck down a Democratic redistricting plan approved by voters, ruling the legislature violated procedural requirements when placing it on the ballot. On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected a request to restore the map favoring Democrats.

Florida bans partisan map-making

The U.S. Supreme Court that it has no authority to decide whether partisan gerrymandering goes too far. But it said claims could continue to be decided in state courts under their own constitutions and laws.

Florida voters approved a state constitutional amendment in 2010 that prohibits U.S. House districts from being drawn with the intent to favor or disfavor a political party or incumbent. The amendment bars districts from diminishing the ability of racial or language minorities to elect the representatives of their choice. It also requires districts to be compact and, where feasible, use existing political and geographic boundaries.

Lawsuits filed on behalf of voters seek a temporary injunction against the new House map for violating that amendment. Their arguments focus heavily on political favoritism.

Under the new House map, 82% of voters in districts represented by Republicans remain in the same districts as under the previous map, said attorney Chris Shenton, who represented Common Cause and other groups challenging it. Just 41% of voters in districts represented by Democrats are kept in their same districts, he said.

鈥淚t shows that Democratic districts are being targeted for reconfiguration. And why? To favor Republicans and disfavor Democrats. That is unconstitutional,鈥� Shenton said.

Fair Districts Amendment called into question

Attorneys representing Florida’s state lawmakers and executive officials argued that partisan intent had not been proven and that a temporary injunction against the new districts is not appropriate in advance of a fully developed trial.

Though DeSantis called lawmakers into session before the Supreme Court’s ruling in the Louisiana case, he anticipated an eventual outcome weakening Voting Rights Act protections for minority districts. Among other changes, Florida’s new map reshapes a that DeSantis鈥� office said was created to help elect a Black representative in an attempt to comply with federal law.

DeSantis’ office said no racial data was used to prepare the new map he presented to the Legislature. In a memo to lawmakers, DeSantis鈥� General Counsel David Axelman asserted that Florida’s constitutional provision about racial redistricting violates the U.S. Constitution. If one element is invalid, Axelman wrote, then the entire 2010 amendment is void.

Attorney Mohammad Jazil, representing Florida’s executive officials, emphasized a similar argument in court. He said the provision against partisan gerrymandering in Florida’s Fair Districts Amendment cannot stand if the section protecting racial minorities is now invalid.

鈥淚t is intertwined, it is interlocked, it is interwoven,鈥� Jazil said.

South Carolina meets in special session for redistricting

The South Carolina House began debate Friday on a bill that would reshape U.S. House districts to try to help Republicans to gain a seat and sweep all seven of the state’s congressional districts. The proposal, pushed by Trump, would pull the congressional primaries out of the June 9 statewide primary and move them to August. Debate is expected to continue into next week.

Several Democrats gave speeches against the bill Friday, including state Rep. Justin Bamberg, who denounced Trump’s influence in the matter.

鈥淗ow did we get here? One man made the call. He didn鈥檛 call every state in this country. He didn鈥檛 make calls across the North,鈥� Bamberg said, later adding: 鈥淲here鈥檇 he go? The place that since the beginning of this country, you go to take this country backwards. He went to the South.鈥�

Republican Gov. Henry McMaster, who called lawmakers into a special session for redistricting, said it’s important for South Carolina to send as many Republicans to Washington as possible to try to prevent Democrats from taking control of the House and attempting to impeach Trump.

鈥淲e have to have a functioning Congress,鈥� McMaster said.

Taiwan remained the most important issue for China in the talks. Xi privately warned Trump that differences over the self-governed island, which Beijing claims as its own territory, could bring the U.S. and China .

Trump told reporters that he had not yet made a determination on whether a major U.S. sale of arms to Taiwan can move forward.

On Iran, Trump said Xi told him that and a reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Trump has previously expressed hope that China would as Iran鈥檚 biggest trading partner to prod Tehran into a deal on U.S. terms. Trump also said Xi assured him that China .

Here’s the latest:

US suspends enforcement of sanctions against independent UN investigator

The Treasury Department says it has suspended the implementation and enforcement of sanctions the Trump administration had imposed on the U.N. rapporteur for the West Bank and Gaza following a court order this week.

Two days after U.S. District Judge Richard Leon issued a preliminary injunction barring the administration from imposing sanctions on Francesca Albanese, Treasury said Friday that her designation 鈥渋s not being implemented or enforced while this order is in effect.鈥�

In his ruling, which came in response to a lawsuit filed by Albanese鈥檚 family earlier this year, Leon said the sanctions could be a violation of Albanese and her family members鈥� First Amendment rights.

The sanctions were imposed after the State Department said Albanese, who has been highly critical of Israel鈥檚 operations in Gaza, had engaged in a 鈥渃ampaign of political and economic warfare鈥� against the U.S. and Israel by urging other countries to sanction Israel over alleged war crimes in Gaza and several U.S. companies for being 鈥渃omplicit鈥� in those actions.

Trump says the US needs to retrieve Iran鈥檚 highly enriched uranium for 鈥榩ublic relations鈥�

The president said in an interview with Fox News Channel that Iran told him it does not have the capability to get to its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which is believed to be buried under the rubble of a facility bombed in strikes Trump ordered last year.

Trump said that was 鈥済ood enough鈥� for trying to stop Iran from using it to make a nuclear weapon and said that the U.S. is able to closely monitor if someone tried to access the site.

But, he said he still wants to go retrieve the material from Iran because, 鈥淚t鈥檚 not good enough, public relations-wise. It鈥檚 important.鈥� He also suggested there have been media reports speculating that Iran could retrieve the material.

Trump says he won鈥檛 let midterms influence what he does in Iran

The president seemed to acknowledge that the war could hurt his Republican Party in November, saying he warned 鈥渕y people鈥� that he may 鈥渟crew up your numbers for a little while.鈥�

Trump made the comment in an interview with Fox News鈥� Bret Baier that was taped before leaving China but aired Friday evening.

He said it was necessary to stop Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.

鈥淚鈥檓 not going to let the election determine what鈥檚 going to happen with respect to Iran because they cannot have a nuclear weapon,鈥� he said.

Trump says 鈥榚verybody agrees鈥� higher gas prices are worth stopping Iran from having a nuclear weapon

Trump defended the statement he made before leaving for China that economic considerations would not go into any peace settlement with Iran, saying the sole goal was to prevent the country from getting a nuclear weapon.

鈥淲hen people hear me say it, everybody agrees,鈥� Trump said in an interview with Fox News鈥� Bret Baier, saying that higher gasoline prices were just 鈥渟hort-term pain.鈥�

Trump had responded to a reporter鈥檚 question on Tuesday outside the White House by saying, 鈥淚 don鈥檛 think about Americans鈥� financial situation. I don鈥檛 think about anybody. I think about one thing: We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon.鈥�

He told Baier that the question that prompted the earlier response was 鈥渇ake.鈥�

Supreme Court rejects Virginia鈥檚 bid to restore congressional map favoring Democrats

The map would have given Democrats a chance to pick up four seats in the closely divided U.S. House of Representatives.

The court鈥檚 order is the latest twist in the nation鈥檚 . It was kicked off last year by Trump to redraw their lines and was supercharged by a recent severely weakening the Voting Rights Act that opened up even more winnable seats for the GOP.

Air Force One lands outside Washington

Trump is back in Washington after his whirlwind trip to China.

Air Force One touched down at Joint Base Andrews a little before 6:30 p.m. EDT, nearly 16 hours after departing from Beijing. The journey included a fuel stop in Anchorage, Alaska.

Trump says China doesn鈥檛 want Taiwan to 鈥榞o independent鈥�

The president in an interview that aired Friday evening on Fox News Channel appeared to downplay the threat that China may use force to reunite Taiwan, a self-governing island, with the mainland.

鈥淚t鈥檚 not a takeover. They just don鈥檛 want to see this place 鈥� we鈥檒l call it a place because nobody knows how to define it 鈥� but they don鈥檛 want to see it go independent,鈥� Trump said.

He said that he didn鈥檛 think China would do anything if things remained status quo. But he said if the country did, 鈥渢hey probably would do something pretty harsh, and then they would be met harshly and bad things will happen.鈥�

Trump also suggested Xi would hold off on making any aggressive moves on Taiwan while he remains in the White House. That echoes comments he has made about the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel and Russia鈥檚 war with Ukraine, declaring neither would have happened if he was in office at the time.

鈥淚 don鈥檛 think they鈥檒l do anything when I鈥檓 here. When I鈥檓 not here. I think they might, to be honest with you,鈥� Trump said.

Colorado governor commutes sentence of former elections clerk

Democratic Gov. Jared Polis has commuted the sentence of election conspiracy theorist Tina Peters following pressure from Trump, the latest instance of the president using his powers to reward those who echoed his baseless claims of mass fraud as the cause of his 2020 loss.

Trump has championed the case of Peters, a 70-year-old former county clerk who was sentenced to nine years behind bars in a scheme to make a copy of her county鈥檚 election computer system. She gets released June 1.

In April, a Colorado appeals court ordered Peters to be resentenced because it said the judge who sent her to prison wrongly punished her for speaking out about election fraud, a decision praised by Polis. The court upheld her convictions, though.

Peters has been serving at a prison in Pueblo after being convicted in 2024 by jurors in Mesa County, a Republican stronghold that supported Trump.

Hegseth will attend USS Gerald R. Ford homecoming

The defense secretary will meet the world鈥檚 largest aircraft carrier as it returns from an 11-month deployment on Saturday, the Pentagon said.

The Ford鈥檚 326 days at sea will make its deployment the longest for an aircraft carrier in the last 50 years and third longest since the Vietnam War, according to data compiled by USNI News, a news outlet run by the U.S. Naval Institute, a nonprofit organization.

The only longer ones were the 1973 deployment of USS Midway at 332 days and the 1965 deployment of USS Coral Sea at 329 days.

The Ford took part in the military operation to capture then-Venezuelan President Nicol谩s Maduro. Then it saw more battle, heading toward the Middle East as tensions with Iran escalated. While in the Red Sea it also experienced a fire that sidelined it for weeks in the Mediterranean Sea.

Washington activists question escalating surge

Free DC, one of the primary organizations that has opposed the surge of federal law enforcement and military personnel into Washington, said plans to expand the surge are wrongheaded.

鈥淭he people of D.C. don鈥檛 want anything from this corrupt and lawless regime. We want them to stay the hell away from our children, stay out of our communities, and quit their jobs,鈥� the activist group said in a statement.

The organization鈥檚 stance came in response to U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro鈥檚 press conference Friday announcing the additional surge of more law enforcement officers. That announcement said there would be more prosecutions, including holding some parents responsible for the juvenile curfew violations of their children.

U.S. Marshals Director Gadyaces Serralta said the number of military troops in the city would increase to 5,000 from 3,500. There were about in the city a month ago.

US says Israel and Lebanon agree to 45-day extension of ceasefire

It comes after two 鈥減roductive鈥� days of talks in Washington and will be followed by more negotiations June 2-3, State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott said.

A shaky truce between Israel and the Hezbollah militant group in Lebanon had been due to end on Sunday.

鈥淲e hope these discussions will advance lasting peace between the two countries, full recognition of each other鈥檚 sovereignty and territorial integrity, and establishing genuine security along their shared border,鈥� Pigott said on social media.

U.S. eyes indictment against Raul Castro amid pressure by Trump administration, sources tell AP

The Justice Department is preparing to seek an indictment against former Cuban President Ra煤l Castro, three people familiar with the matter tell The Associated Press.

The indictment would require approval by a grand jury. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren鈥檛 authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation. One of the people said the potential indictment is connected to Castro鈥檚 alleged role in the 1996 shootdown of planes operated by the Miami exile group.

Prosecutors in Miami have been building cases against senior Cuban officials amid renewed pressure from south Florida Republicans and a pledge earlier this year by President Donald Trump to orchestrate a 鈥渇riendly takeover鈥� of the communist-run island.

Second day of Israel-Lebanon talks underway in Washington as ceasefire end looms

US halts Army deployment to Poland as part of troop reduction in Europe, AP sources say

The Pentagon is drawing down thousands of troops in Europe by stopping units from deploying to Poland and Germany as opposed to yanking those already stationed there.

Several U.S. officials confirmed that 4,000 troops from an Army brigade are no longer en route to Poland this week. The Trump administration had previously said it was cutting U.S. forces only in Germany.

The canceled deployment came after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth signed a memo directing a brigade combat team to be moved out of Europe, according to two U.S. officials who like the others spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military operations.

One of them said the choice of which unit was left to military leaders. The memo also led to the cancellation of an upcoming deployment to Germany of a battalion trained in firing long-range rockets and missiles, the two officials said.

Some congressional Republicans watch with worry Trump鈥檚 deliberations on Taiwan arms sale

Lawmakers who have supported Taiwan鈥檚 efforts to build up its military defenses say that the decision to follow through with the sale of $11 billion in arms for the island should be an easy one for the president.

鈥淲e have to support Taiwan, just like we have to support Ukraine,鈥� said Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, a Pennsylvania Republican. 鈥淭hese are the fortresses of democracy and they鈥檙e on the front lines and we have to protect and defend them.鈥�

Republican Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas said he was not surprised that Chinese President Xi Jinping had come out with an aggressive posture on Taiwan.

鈥淲e鈥檝e got to arm Taiwan so they can defend themselves for deterrence,鈥� McCaul said.

Vance honors fallen officers during police week

The vice president was speaking at the National Peace Officers鈥� Memorial Service at the U.S. Capitol.

During his remarks, Vance praised the sacrifices of police officers who were killed in the line of duty, along with their families and loved ones.

鈥淲e love you, we鈥檙e thankful for you,鈥� Vance said. 鈥淲e鈥檙e sorry for what you sacrificed but we will never forget what your officer laid down.鈥�

Vance underscored the law-and-order policies of the Trump administration and said society鈥檚 attitude toward law enforcement has now changed.

鈥淲e shifted attitudes across our society when it comes to dealing with and most importantly, honoring our law enforcement community,鈥� he said. 鈥淲e stopped handcuffing the police and started handcuffing more violent criminals.鈥�

The vice president spoke while Trump was returning to Washington from Beijing.

Federal officials announce summertime 鈥檒aw enforcement surge in Washington, DC

The Justice Department has announced a surge of law enforcement in the nation鈥檚 capital this summer timed to coincide with the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence.

Officials made the announcement at a news conference at the Justice Department headquarters on Friday, saying there would be extra personnel on city streets and additional resources such as drones.

Congressman says Poland was 鈥榖lindsided鈥� by cancelled troop deployment

鈥淚t鈥檚 an embarrassment to our country what we just did to Poland,鈥� Republican Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska said during Friday鈥檚 House Armed Services Committee hearing.

鈥淭hey called me yesterday. They did not know. They were blindsided. These are some of our best allies, and they had no idea,鈥� Bacon said. 鈥淭hey still don鈥檛 know what the plan is.鈥�

Bacon said the committee needs to hold Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth accountable for the decision.

鈥淚t鈥檚 wrong,鈥� Bacon said.

Congressman criticizes abruptness of decision to cancel troop deployment to Poland

Speaking Friday during the House Armed Services Committee hearing, Republican Rep. Austin Scott of Georgia noted how advanced elements of an Army brigade were already overseas and equipment was in transit.

Scott pressed Army leaders on when the cancellation was made. Army Secretery Dan Driscoll and Gen. Christopher LaNeve, the Army鈥檚 chief of staff, said discussions occurred over the last two weeks while the decision was made in the last couple days.

Scott questioned the truth behind a Pentagon statement that it was not a last-minute, unexpected decision. Driscoll said the decision was not unusual because discussions over troop deployments are happening throughout the year.

鈥淭hese are major decisions that appear to many of the members of this committee to be last-minute decisions,鈥� Scott said.

Justice Department to seek death penalty for man charged with killing 2 Israeli Embassy staffers

Elias Rodriguez faces federal hate crime and murder charges in the killings of as they left an event at a Jewish museum last May, prosecutors said in a court filing Friday.

Rodriguez shouted 鈥淔ree Palestine鈥� during the shooting and later told police, 鈥淚 did it for Palestine, I did it for Gaza.鈥�

The charges against Rodriguez include a hate crime resulting in death. His indictment also includes notice of special findings, which allows prosecutors to pursue the death penalty.

The hate crimes charges mean prosecutors will have to prove that Rodriguez was motivated by antisemitism when he opened fire on Lischinsky and Milgrim, a young couple who were about to become engaged. Milgrim was a U.S. citizen. Lischinsky was an Israeli citizen working in the U.S.

Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen ending reelection campaign after redraw of his Memphis district

His career was upended by the redistricting battles that are sweeping the country after last month鈥檚 Supreme Court decision.

Earlier this month, Republicans in Tennessee enacted a new U.S. House map that carves up a Cohen鈥檚 majority-Black district, reshaping it to the GOP鈥檚 advantage as part of President Trump鈥檚 strategy to hold on to a slim majority in the November midterm elections.

鈥淚 don鈥檛 want to quit. I鈥檓 not a quitter. But these districts were drawn to beat me,鈥� Cohen told reporters in his Washington, D.C. office.

Cohen is challenging the state鈥檚 redistricting effort in court and said he would reenter the race if that lawsuit succeeded in restoring his old congressional district.

Texas high court rejects removal of Democratic lawmakers who led quorum break over redistricting

The Texas Supreme Court on Friday refused to declare that Democratic lawmakers in 2025 to block a vote on new congressional voting maps pushed by President Trump had vacated their office.

The all-Republican court dealt a blow to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and state Republicans in their efforts to severely punish the more than 50 Democrats who bolted for New York, and Massachusetts a vote on the maps during a special session. State Republicans had sought their arrest and threatened fines to bring them back to the state Capitol.

Abbott had argued filed directly to the state鈥檚 highest civil court that state Rep. , the leader of the House Democratic caucus, and others had effectively abandoned their office.

China says two sides to set up trade and investment boards to address ag goods trade and tariffs

The two countries agreed to establish boards on trade and on investments to address each other鈥檚 concerns on agricultural goods鈥� market access and to promote expanded trade under a framework of reciprocal tariff reductions, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said.

The two sides have yet to announce any concrete trade deals, but the boards are expected to serve as a channel of communications to address economic and trade issues.

Wang said the economic and trade teams from the two sides have reached results that are 鈥渙verall balanced and positive.鈥�

l mulling US arms sale to Taiwan

President Donald Trump says he鈥檚 not yet made a determination on whether a major U.S. sale of arms to Taiwan can move forward, following his three-day visit to China.

Speaking to reporters as he flew back on Air Force One on Friday, Trump said he鈥檇 not decided on the sale, but added, 鈥淚 will make a determination.鈥�

The Trump administration has authorized the sale but it has yet to move forward. China opposes the deal and has suggested that Washington鈥檚 relationship with the self-governing island is the key factor in China-U.S. relations.

Police Chief George Nader said at a news conference Friday evening that a string of crimes lead up to the shooting.

Nader said around 2:30 p.m., officers received reports of a man with a gun in the 5100 block of Pierce Avenue in College Park.

Around 2:50 p.m., Nader said the suspect shot a 64-year-old man, breaking a glass window which cut his face.

After the shooting, the man shot at and carjacked a woman in the area of Good Luck Road and Kenilworth Avenue in Riverdale Park.

“At that carjacking, an off-duty Prince George’s County police officer, who was unarmed in his personal vehicle, who was alerted that there was a shooting going on in the area by his wife, who is also a police officer, observed the carjacking 鈥� and began to follow the suspect, ” Nader said.

Shortly after that, officers received a call for a car accident in the area of 67th Avenue and Patterson Street in the East Riverdale area around 3 p.m. Nader said a man got out of the crashed vehicle and began shooting at people in the area, injuring at least five people.

When police arrived in the 900 block of Edmonston Road, the man got out of the vehicle and fired at the off-duty officer. U.S. Park Police arrived on the scene and the man pointed the gun at them.

“We believe that he was out of bullets at that time. He dropped the weapon and was taken into custody with no additional shots being fired,” Nader said.

Nader added that officials have recovered the AR-15 rifle that the man was using.

Police said two victims have been transported to a hospital for treatment, with one in critical condition and the other with life-threatening injuries. Authorities said there is no threat to the community and there are no outstanding suspects.

The suspect was also transported to a hospital with injuries Nader said he sustained in the car accident.

This is the weapon recovered at one of the scenes.

Nader said the man in custody, whose identity has not yet been made public, faces possible charges including attempted murder, carjacking and weapons-related offenses.

“I’ve not seen bravery like that in my 33 years of service,” Nader said of the unarmed off-duty officer who followed the shooter.

Nearby schools in the area were due to police activity. The lockdown was lifted for most of the schools around 4:25 p.m.

海角精品黑料 Traffic reporter Dave Dildine said at least three Maryland state highways were partially or completely blocked by various police agencies, including Route 193 Greenbelt Road at Kenilworth Avenue, Route 201 Kenilworth Avenue at Campus Drive and Route 410 Riverdale Road under the Baltimore-Washington Parkway.

Ahora bien, supervisar el banco central m谩s importante del mundo es un trabajo duro incluso en las mejores circunstancias. Hacerse cargo ahora 鈥攄os meses y medio despu茅s de una guerra que ha disparado los precios al consumidor, y con su predecesor que permanece en la junta de gobernadores para tratar de contener amenazas sin precedentes a la independencia del banco鈥� es, digamos, algo menos que ideal.

Esta semana, una serie de informes econ贸micos dejaron claro el aprieto en el que se encuentra la econom铆a estadounidense y lo dif铆cil que le resultar谩 a Warsh hacer lo 煤nico que el presidente espera de 茅l: bajar las tasas de inter茅s para impulsar el crecimiento econ贸mico.

Esto es lo que nos dicen los datos.

Los publicados el jueves confirmaron lo que los CEO han advertido en las llamadas de resultados durante semanas: la gente est谩 recortando su gasto, hace compras m谩s selectivas de bienes m谩s peque帽os y esenciales y pospone la adquisici贸n de art铆culos de alto costo como electrodom茅sticos para el hogar y autos. (Whirlpool, que posee las marcas KitchenAid, Maytag y Amana, describi贸 recientemente la din谩mica como un retroceso 鈥渁 nivel de recesi贸n鈥� similar a la crisis financiera de 2008).

El principal culpable es, como cab铆a esperar, la gasolina. La guerra en Ir谩n ha impulsado al alza los precios de la energ铆a en todo el mundo, encareciendo el transporte de pr谩cticamente cualquier producto, en cualquier lugar.

鈥淟a guerra ha llegado a casa, y los estadounidenses pueden sentirlo y verlo en su canasta del supermercado鈥�, dijo a CNN esta semana Joe Brusuelas, economista jefe de RSM Estados Unidos.

El , seg煤n al menos un indicador, est谩 en un m铆nimo hist贸rico. Las encuestas de la CNN tambi茅n han captado esa indignaci贸n, ya que el 75 % de los estadounidenses afirma que la guerra en Ir谩n ha perjudicado sus finanzas.

Las ventas minoristas de Estados Unidos subieron un 0,5 % de marzo a abril, aunque gran parte de ese aumento refleja precios m谩s altos en lugar de un mayor volumen de ventas. Reembolsos de impuestos m谩s altos tambi茅n facilitaron que muchos hogares salieran adelante a medida que la inflaci贸n repuntaba.

鈥淟a inflaci贸n est谩 viva. El crecimiento real de los salarios est谩 muerto鈥�, me dijo Aaron Sojourner, economista s茅nior del Instituto W. E. Upjohn para la Investigaci贸n del Empleo.

En otras palabras, los precios de los bienes y servicios cotidianos ahora est谩n subiendo m谩s r谩pido que la mayor铆a de los salarios 鈥攗n cambio notable respecto de los 煤ltimos tres a帽os, cuando los salarios en gran medida se mantuvieron al ritmo de la inflaci贸n o incluso la superaron.

En promedio, los salarios crecieron un 3,6 % durante el 煤ltimo a帽o, seg煤n la Oficina de Estad铆sticas Laborales. Sin embargo, los precios han subido un 3,8 %.

No toda la inflaci贸n es igual.

Los bienes de consumo, especialmente la gasolina y los alimentos, tienden a fluctuar bastante. Y, desde luego, cabr铆a esperar un gran aumento de precios en este momento, debido a que el cuello de botella energ茅tico del estrecho de Ormuz ha permanecido cerrado durante m谩s de dos meses. Eso parece ser a lo que se refer铆a el presidente Donald Trump cuando rest贸 importancia al informe del IPC esta semana, diciendo que el aumento era 鈥渁 corto plazo鈥�.

Pero los 鈥渟ervicios鈥� 鈥攅s decir, lo que pagamos por el alquiler, boletos de avi贸n, la atenci贸n m茅dica, la matr铆cula universitaria, salir a comer fuera, etc.鈥� suelen ser m谩s estables. Y cuando los precios de estos servicios suben, tienden a ser 鈥渞铆gidos鈥� (o 鈥減egajosos鈥�), lo que significa que no bajan con facilidad.

Tanto el IPC como su primo, algo menos conocido 鈥攅l 脥ndice de Precios al Productor (IPP), que registra lo que pagan las empresas a nivel mayorista鈥� mostraron que el aumento de los precios se est谩 infiltrando en el sector servicios.

La lectura 鈥渟ubyacente鈥� del informe del IPP 鈥攅xcluyendo el vol谩til factor energ茅tico鈥� confirm贸 鈥渦na tendencia estructural m谩s profunda, especialmente en los servicios鈥�, dijo a CNBC David Russell, jefe global de estrategia de mercado en TradeStation. 鈥淟a crisis de Ormuz est谩 agravando el problema, pero esto va mucho m谩s all谩 del petr贸leo鈥�.

El IPP subyacente subi贸 un 1 % de marzo a abril, aceler谩ndose respecto al ritmo mensual revisado de marzo de 0,3 %. Los servicios mayoristas subieron un 1,2 % 鈥攅l mayor aumento mensual en cuatro a帽os.

En conclusi贸n: es posible que Trump se haya disparado en el pie en su intento de presionar a la Reserva Federal para que reduzca las tasas de inter茅s.

Incluso si la guerra terminara hoy, pasar铆an meses antes de que el suministro de petr贸leo y gas volviera a la normalidad, lo que significa que la inflaci贸n podr铆a persistir, y recortar las tasas de inter茅s solo empeorar铆a la situaci贸n. A Warsh solo le basta con observar los 煤ltimos dos a帽os de para hacerse una idea de lo que sucede cuando uno de los nominados por Trump se niega a cumplir sus 贸rdenes.

Hamas did not immediately acknowledge or comment on the strike.

Israeli Prime Minister and Defense Minister Israel Katz said an airstrike carried out by the military Friday evening targeted al-Haddad, the leader of Hamas鈥� Qassam brigades.

There were at least two Israeli strikes Friday evening in Gaza City, one of which Israel said targeted al-Haddad. One strike targeted a residential building and another a vehicle. Seven people were killed and dozens of others wounded, according to health officials in the Palestine Red Crescent Society鈥檚 Saraya Field Hospital and Shifa hospital, where the casualties were taken

In a statement, Netanyahu and Katz said that al-Haddad was 鈥渙ne of the architects鈥� of the Oct. 7 attack.

Gaza has seen near-daily Israeli fire despite a fragile ceasefire agreement reached in October. More than 850 people have been killed since then, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. The Health Ministry is part of Gaza鈥檚 Hamas-run government, but staffed by medical professionals who maintain and publish detailed records, viewed as generally reliable by the international community.

Netanyahu and Katz threatened that Israel will continue to work against all those who took part in the Oct. 7 attack, in which militants killed some 1,200 people and took 251 hostages. Over 72,700 people have been killed in Gaza since Israel launched its offensive in response to Hamas鈥� 2023 attack.

鈥淪ooner or later, Israel will reach you,鈥� the statement read.

Palestinian citizens reported more airstrikes that followed the one that targeted al-Haddad. It was not immediately clear what the Israeli military was targeting.

Since the shaky ceasefire was reached, both Israel and Hamas have traded accusations of violations. Israel has targeted Hamas members inside the coastal enclave, the last of whom was the son of Hamas鈥� lead negotiator, Khalil al-Hayya.

The conglomerate also dumped a number of other stocks, including Visa, Mastercard, Domino’s Pizza, Amazon and United Healthcare after of Todd Combs, who was one of the two investment mangers Buffett hired to help manage the portfolio.

Buffett was always reluctant to invest in tech companies because he said he didn’t understand them well enough to predict the long-term winners. Buffett did make an exception to that rule near the end of his career by buying a massive Apple stake after he recognized how devoted consumers are to that company’s iPhones and computers.

Abel appears to be more comfortable because by the end of March Berkshire owned nearly 58 million Alphabet shares worth almost $17 billion. Just three months earlier, Berkshire held only 17.8 million Alphabet shares worth $5.6 billion.

Berkshire picked up nearly 40 million shares of Delta stock during the first three months of the year. Buffett has something of a sordid history with airline investments over the years after having bought their stocks heavily more than once before eventually dumping them.

Buffett told shareholders in 2008 that 鈥渋f a farsighted capitalist had been present at Kitty Hawk, he would have done his successors a huge favor by shooting Orville down鈥� because every airline has struggled to maintain a competitive advantage ever since the Wright brothers took to the air.

Berkshire also established a small new stake in Macy’s that was worth nearly $55 million at the end of March.

Berkshire never comments on the moves it makes to its $280 billion stock portfolio from quarter to quarter because it doesn’t want to discuss what it is buying and selling. Earlier this month, Abel just led his first shareholders meeting as CEO while Buffett sat on the floor with the rest of the board of directors.

Many investors have followed Berkshire’s portfolio closely over the years because they liked to copy Buffett’s moves. That may not be the case going forward at least until Abel establishes more of a record as a stock picker. He has spent his career operating companies like Berkshire’s collection of major utilities.

But a couple of the stocks that Berkshire just revealed new stakes in Friday did jump after the conglomerate detailed its investments in a new filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Macy’s and Delta stock prices both popped after Berkshire’s disclosure, but Alphabet’s stock price hardly changed.

The Omaha, Nebraska-based company also owns dozens of other businesses including major insurers like Geico, BNSF railroad, huge manufacturers like Precision Castparts and an assortment of retail and service businesses that includes such well-known brands as Helzberg Diamonds, See’s Candy and Dairy Queen.

The defensive back is headed to Ann Arbor, where he’ll play under first-year coach Kyle Whittingham. The 5-foot-11, 170-pound rising senior will be part of the 2027 class.

Woodson picked the Wolverines over several other schools, including Florida State, Mississippi, Texas A&M, Iowa State and Kentucky, according to ESPN.

The elder Woodson is one of the all-time great college football defensive backs, starring for Michigan from 1995 to 1997. He led the Wolverines to the national title in 1997 and became the first primarily defensive player to win the Heisman.

Woodson was drafted in 1998 by the Oakland Raiders and had an 18-year NFL career, winning the Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers in the 2010 season. The Pro Football Hall of Famer was a three-time All-Pro selection.
