Trump swears in Todd Blanche as attorney general after a razor-thin Senate vote
President Trump swore in Todd Blanche as attorney general on Monday, capping weeks of controversy that ended with a narrow 50-49 Senate confirmation finalized early Saturday. The close margin underscored how little room the administration has for error when nominations hit maximum partisan friction.
In remarks around the day’s agenda, Trump also cast the U.S.-Iran conflict as "like a chess game," signaling a preference to frame the standoff as strategic maneuvering rather than a single looming decision point. The personnel change at Justice lands as foreign-policy tensions remain in the background, raising immediate questions about enforcement priorities, ongoing investigations, and how aggressively the department will align with the White House.

Intel goes to the market for $15B as AI infrastructure spending stays red-hot
Intel said it plans a $15 billion stock offering, a sign that the AI buildout is still pulling in enormous amounts of capital across the industry. Even as chip demand accelerates, the pace of factory, packaging, and data-center investment is forcing companies to continuously refresh their funding plans.
The move lands in a market where technology giants have already poured vast sums into compute, networking, and power-hungry data centers to keep up with AI workloads. For Intel, raising equity can strengthen the balance sheet and fund capacity, but it also risks dilution, which investors typically tolerate only if the growth runway looks long and credible.

Berkshire finally puts some of its cash to work — by buying Berkshire
Berkshire Hathaway has begun spending part of its nearly $400 billion cash pile by repurchasing its own shares, according to a MarketWatch report. After years of piling up liquidity while waiting for attractive deals, the company is signaling that the best value it sees right now may be its own stock.
Buybacks can boost per-share value and are often a straightforward answer when acquisition prices look inflated. Still, not everyone is thrilled: skeptics read it as a sign that Buffett’s team isn’t finding enough external opportunities at acceptable returns, which can be a meaningful message in a market that still expects Berkshire to be a buyer when others retreat.

Strong earthquake hits Colombia, with early reports varying on the magnitude
A powerful earthquake struck Colombia on Monday, with initial headlines describing it as magnitude 7.4 while other early reporting cited magnitude 6.8 and pointed to U.S. Geological Survey information. In major quakes, preliminary measurements often change as more seismic data is processed, so the key near-term focus is location, depth, and aftershocks.
Local impact assessments typically take hours to solidify, especially across remote areas where communications can be disrupted. Authorities and residents will be watching for infrastructure damage, landslides, and the risk of additional significant shaking.

Zuckerberg pitches “personal superintelligence” — and warns against concentrated AI power
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg laid out a vision for putting superintelligent AI tools directly into individuals’ hands, arguing that broad distribution is essential for empowerment. He framed the alternative as a world where a small number of institutions control the most capable systems and set the terms for everyone else.
The message aligns with a push toward open-source-style development and wide availability, but it also runs straight into the practical questions: safety guardrails, misuse, and who is accountable when highly capable tools are deployed at scale. The next milestone to watch is whether Meta pairs the rhetoric with concrete product releases, model access policies, and a clearer approach to security and controls.
