South Carolina to open the 2028 Democratic primaries, reshaping the early calendar

A Democratic National Committee rules panel backed making South Carolina the first state to vote in the 2028 presidential nominating calendar, a move that could push Iowa out of the early window and possibly add Michigan plus two more states; Nevada and New Hampshire would still be allowed early participation, while the party signals stricter penalties for states that ignore the calendar, a reshaping inspired by concerns over Black voter influence and voting-rights dynamics.

Teen Duo Turns Trash into a 7-Figure Junk-Removal Empire

Brothers Kirk and Jacob McKinney turned a hobby of salvaging speaker parts into Junk Teens, a junk-removal service that started with a $4,000 pickup and a single job in 2021. After reinvesting profits and expanding to a dump truck, they scaled to five trucks, a 25-person staff, and multiple markets (Norwood, Cape Cod, the North Shore, Rhode Island), achieving nearly seven figures in 2023 (and $3M in 2025) with projected revenue above $5M in 2026. They differentiate through speed, strong communication, and branding around their teenage hustle, leveraging social media to recruit and grow their workforce.

June jobs miss: US payrolls rise 57k as participation slips and revisions weigh on the labor market

The June 2026 US payrolls increased by 57,000, far below economists’ expectations of about 113,000, while the unemployment rate fell to 4.2% (its lowest in a year). April and May payrolls were revised downward by a combined 74,000, dampening momentum. Job gains came from professional and business services, social assistance, and healthcare, but leisure and hospitality lost 61,000 positions as seasonal hiring cooled. The labor-force participation rate also slipped to 61.5%, suggesting softer overall labor-market strength.

Netflix Gains Focus Momentum as Warner Breakup Ends

Netflix’s aborted bid to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery’s studios sparked a roughly 14% intraday gain as investors welcomed a disciplined, standalone strategy. The Value Investor praises Netflix’s balance-sheet strength and content-focused plan, noting the company will spend about $20 billion on internal films and TV this year and that ending the deal reduces integration risk while potentially pressuring competitors. Netflix also benefits from a $2.8 billion termination fee Warner must pay, and its Q4 revenue rose 17.6% to $12.05 billion with ad sales up 2.5x to $1.5 billion. Wall Street shows a Moderate Buy consensus (28 Buys, 9 Holds, 1 Sell) with a 12-month target of $113.91 (about +18%). The piece frames Netflix as poised for continued gradual improvements as it focuses on its own operations.
