Money Motive Keeps American Wrestlers From MMA, Says Cormier

Daniel Cormier says higher pay in wrestling—especially coaching around $200,000 a year—has cooled the pipeline of American wrestlers entering MMA, slowing the sport’s flow even as stars like Gable Steveson debut; only a few athletes publicly consider fighting, with Kennedy Blades the notable exception among the 2024 U.S. Olympians, while coaching or Real American Freestyle offer steadier income.

Is San Francisco on the brink of an AI-driven housing bubble?

AI-rich demand is pushing San Francisco’s housing market higher, with rents around $4,000 for a one-bedroom and properties selling far above asking as OpenAI, Anthropic and SpaceX bring capital and talent to the city; experts warn the surge may reflect a bubble risk—echoing the dot-com era—while officials push affordable-housing measures and residents worry about long-term affordability.

Three Dates That Will Reshape Federal Student Loans This Summer

Federal student loans are set for sweeping changes this summer: June 15 will bring discharge notices for the last group of Sweet v. McMahon Borrower Defense applicants; June 30 is the consolidation deadline for Parent PLUS loans to preserve IDR eligibility and forgiveness options; and July 1 introduces the RAP repayment plan, winds down the SAVE plan, and imposes new PSLF limits plus a Tiered Standard option, so borrowers should consolidate by June 30 if possible and get ready for tighter repayment and forgiveness rules going forward.

Education Department Unveils Key Guidance Ahead of July Student-Loan Overhaul

The Education Department issued updated guidance ahead of July 1, 2026 changes to federal student loans, clarifying how the new Repayment Assistance Plan (RAP) interacts with existing IDR plans and PSLF. RAP is a new income-driven option; RAP payments generally won’t count toward forgiveness under IBR/ICR/PAYE when switching plans (with a specific exception), but RAP will count toward PSLF. Existing PSLF‑qualifying plans remain eligible, while new borrowers after July 1 will face only RAP or the Tiered Standard plan. For borrowers with pre‑2026 loans, auto-recertification continues until the post‑July 1 loan enters repayment, at which point all loans must be repaid under RAP or Tiered Standard. Additional changes include new borrowing limits with an interim exception for current students. Those taking new federal loans after July 1 will be treated as “new borrowers” and lose access to legacy repayment options.

Mueller's Impulse Space Aims to Taxi the Cosmos

Tom Mueller—SpaceX’s former propulsion chief—founded Impulse Space to build in-space taxis that move satellites and cargo between orbits, with Mira and Helios vehicles designed to cut orbital transfers from months to about a day using in-house methane/oxygen propulsion. Impulse has raised roughly $1B and is valued around $4.3B as U.S. Space Force and NASA funding push a growing space economy; Helios aims for 4-ton payloads with first flight in 2027, while Mira has logged successful deployments despite a recent hiccup. The piece underscores both the promise of faster orbital logistics and the risk of competition from SpaceX as the fiscal and industrial scaffolding for a space economy expands.

Early Clues Point to a Bigger 2027 Social Security COLA, with Caution

Early Clues Point to a Bigger 2027 Social Security COLA, with Caution

COLAs are based on third-quarter inflation. April’s CPI rise of 3.8% hints at a larger 2027 COLA than 2026, with the Senior Citizens League forecasting around 3.9% (aligned with the CPI-W used for COLAs). But the official 2027 COLA won’t be announced until October, and any increase could be offset if energy prices fall or Medicare Part B premiums rise. A bigger COLA isn’t necessarily a win for retirees, as higher benefits can come with higher costs; diversification of income or returning to work may help supplement Social Security.

FBI warns of banking spoof calls and how to shield yourself

The FBI warns of “banking spoof call” scams in which criminals spoof a bank’s phone number to fool people into transferring funds; victims have lost tens of thousands of dollars, including a reported $40,000 loss from a scammer posing as a Chase representative. To protect yourself, enable two-factor/multi-factor authentication, scrutinize email addresses and URLs, avoid unsolicited links, and remember that legitimate banks will never ask for your username or password—report suspected spoofing to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center.
