Looking at age groups, those age 75+ and 65-74 tied for having the highest rates of hospitalization due to COVID and both increased since last update. The only other age group with hospitalizations was 50-64, no children this past update. 2/
For this epidemiological year 2025/2026 so far, adults 75+ had the highest rate of COVID hospital admissions, followed by age 65-74 and then age 0-4 in third place. Young children 0-4 had hospitalization rates twice as high as fourth place group age 50-64. 3/

These Democratic Socialists who are getting elected in NYC could not get elected with their rhetoric in any other state in the Union in any numbers. It is the particular population mix in NY that makes those people successful, but it won’t work in almost the rest of the USA.

Look at their goals.
Democratic socialists want to replace capitalism with an economic system where ordinary people collectively own and manage the key drivers of the economy.

They aim to dismantle corporate power, shift wealth and decision-making to the working class, and establish universal social and economic rights through democratic means. Official position of the Democratic Socialists of America.

While the long-term vision calls for ending the profit-driven capitalist framework, in the short term, democratic socialists often advocate for massive redistributive policies similar to Scandinavian social democracies to immediately lessen inequality.

I'm only going to say this once. If you want to become a millionaire, you need to learn how to properly use LEAPS.
LEAPs give you leveraged exposure to 100 shares of a stock for a fraction of the cost.
Most people use them wrong. Here's how to use them right:
LEAPs give you leveraged exposure to 100 shares of a stock for a fraction of the cost.
Most people use them wrong. Here's how to use them right:
The power of LEAPs is capital efficiency.
100 shares of a $200 stock costs $20,000. A LEAP on that stock might cost $3,000-5,000. If the stock moves 30%, your shares return 30%. That same LEAP could return 100%+.
That freed-up capital lets you take more high-conviction positions across your portfolio.

That freed-up capital lets you take more high-conviction positions across your portfolio.
Stock selection is key.
This is a long-term hold. You never want to buy a LEAP on a stock you wouldn't own shares of. If you don't believe in the company enough to hold 100 shares, you have no business buying a LEAP on it.
Look for strong fundamentals, a clear catalyst, and a thesis you believe plays out over the next 12-18 months.

What do experts and superforecasters predict about the potential risks from AI?
In the latest wave of the Longitudinal Expert AI Panel (LEAP), we asked for predictions on:
• Major harm from an AI-related event
• Catastrophic risk from AI (and from all causes)
• Government restrictions on AI releases
• Democratic backsliding
• Financial loss from cybercrime
📅 Next month, we'll explore forecasts on potential benefits from AI. But for now, read on for our risk forecasts:

🧵
1️⃣Experts and superforecasters think a major AI-driven harm event is more likely than not by 2050
We defined a major AI harm event as one primarily driven by at least one AI system that causes the deaths of at least 50 people or $100 billion in damages.
Median probability of this occurring by 2050:
Experts: 62%
Superforecasters: 70%
Public: 35%

Median probability of this occurring by 2050:
Experts: 62%
Superforecasters: 70%
Public: 35%
If such an event occurs, both experts and superforecasters give 50% odds that the first such event would happen by 2035.
The chart below shows forecasters' percentile forecasts for the year by which the first major AI-driven harm event may occur.
For example, the median expert and superforecaster give a one-in-four (25th percentile) chance that the first major AI-driven harm event happens by 2031.

Supreme Court Opinions: Trump v. Barbara. Chief Justice Roberts writes, holding that the Constitution "guarantees citizenship to children born of parents unlawfully or temporarily present in the United States." The Constitutional holding is only 5-4, as Kavanaugh doesn't join.
Justice Jackson and Sotomayor concur to respond to Justice Thomas's dissent. "The Reconstruction Amendments were an anticaste, antisubordination reset for the Nation, not a mere spot treatment for the dark stain of slavery."
Justice Kavanaugh concurs in the Judgment. He would issue a narrower ruling. He would find that the Executive Order does *not* violate the Constitution, but is precluded by statute.
