Stock Market  Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett recently faced challenges when trying to articulate the Democratic Party's playbook for the 2026 midterm elections. During an interview, she emphasized the importance of communication and education over focusing solely on 'kitchen table issues.' Crockett acknowledged that while the party discussed these issues, the messaging often lacked clarity, particularly when compared to former President Trump's straightforward but misleading narratives. Crockett highlighted the need for voter education on complex issues like tariffs and inflation, attributing some economic misunderstandings to the global pandemic. She stressed the importance of teletown halls and direct dialogues with constituents to simplify and effectively communicate these topics. This approach, she argues, is vital for the Democrats to overcome their perceived messaging problem, a sentiment echoed by other party leaders. Key Takeaway

Real Estate  Protesters disrupted a presentation at the University of Michigan, voicing concerns over a proposed $1.2 billion data center project. The activists, part of the 'Stop the Data' group, raised issues about potential environmental impacts and privacy invasions linked to the center's capabilities. University police issued trespass warnings to three individuals involved in the protest, emphasizing the need to maintain order during university events. The project, in partnership with Los Alamos National Laboratory, aims to establish two data centers in Ypsilanti Township. Critics highlight the university's history of military and surveillance research as a cause for concern. The protest reflects broader tensions around technological development and its implications for privacy and environmental sustainability. Key Takeaway
