Senator Adam Schiff says he will force Republicans to vote again on ending the war with Iran following the collapse of the ceasefire. That may be politically inconvenient for Republicans, but the constitutional question is not complicated. Congress never authorized this war in the first place. The Hill reports that Schiff is introducing another War Powers Resolution intended to terminate American involvement in the conflict. He stated that the war has increased costs for Americans and described it as an unlawful “war of choice.” This comes after the United States resumed major strikes against Iran when the temporary ceasefire collapsed.…

Maxine Waters is 87 years old and is once again seeking another term in Congress. This is not about her age. There are people in their eighties who are far more capable than those decades younger. The real issue is that Washington has transformed public office into a lifetime career. Politicians are no longer expected to serve for a period and return home. They stay for decades, accumulating power, influence, and connections until they begin to believe the office belongs to them rather than the people who elected them. The Founding Fathers never intended Congress to become a country club…
There’s a new gold rush mentality sweeping the Bay Area, but this time people aren’t panning for gold — they’re chasing OpenAI and Anthropic stock. As OpenAI and Anthropic move closer to potential IPOs, Silicon Valley is bracing for a wave of newly minted millionaires. And some San Francisco homeowners are trying to get in before that happens, according to The New York Times. When real estate investor Nima Gabbay listed his three-bedroom San Francisco home for nearly $3 million, he added an unusual offer: He would accept shares of OpenAI or Anthropic as payment. Two OpenAI employees reportedly tried…
For years, I have warned that analysts have been looking in the wrong direction. Everyone obsesses over Russia, China, Iran, or even North Korea, while ignoring one nation that has quietly been positioning itself to become the dominant regional power. That nation is Turkey. You cannot understand today’s geopolitical landscape unless you understand that the Ottoman Empire ruled much of the Middle East, North Africa, and southeastern Europe for centuries. Those ambitions never simply vanished. Turkey possesses one of NATO’s largest armed forces and controls perhaps the single most strategic piece of geography on earth, the Bosporus and Dardanelles. Every…
Bending Spoons, the Italian tech startup, rejects 99.9% of its applicants. That makes it harder to get into than Harvard or NASA’s astronaut program, according to the Wall Street Journal. The company went public last week. The Milan-based company specializes in acquiring and overhauling companies like AOL, Vimeo and Evernote that have dated software people continue to use. But its real talent is in vetting its employees through a rigorous screening process. “A run-of-the-mill interview is almost entirely non-predictive, like tossing a coin,” CEO Luca Ferrari told the Journal . “It’s basically completely useless.” Instead, candidates take reasoning and judgment…
A group led by billionaire Vinod Khosla agreed to buy the 2026 Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks for $9.6 billion, a record price for an NFL franchise, according to ESPN. Here’s the rub: Khosla also owns part of the San Francisco 49ers franchise, so he will have to give up his stake in that team to close the deal. NFL owners still need to approve it at a meeting expected in late August. The Seahawks have been owned by the estate of Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen since his death in 2018. Allen’s sister, Jody, has run the team as trustee,…
Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Some of the most valuable innovation inside a company doesn’t come from market research — it comes from empowering the “intrapreneurs” already embedded in the work. Leaders who spot these people, build psychological safety and give them room to experiment can turn internal ideas into a competitive edge that’s hard for outsiders to replicate. Leaders are often really good at looking out in the world around them to find inspiration for their next breakthrough. They scan the market for pain points, potential customers, partnerships, new products and funding opportunities. But…

Stephen Siegel has been hooked on Hot Dog on a Stick since he was a kid in Los Angeles. Now he owns the joint. The founder and CEO of Amazing Brands acquired the 80-year-old chain out of the Fat Brands bankruptcy earlier this year for $8 million, betting that the struggling mall staple still has plenty of life left. “It’s a diamond in the rough,” he told Restaurant Business. “I grew up on the brand.” Founded in 1946 near the Santa Monica Pier, Hot Dog on a Stick became famous for its corn dogs, “hand-stomped” lemonade, and employees wearing rainbow-striped…
