Lots of good info in this @status.news newsletter but as a longtime TV news person this really jumped out at me: Alfonsi's contract is apparently up this month and the boss hasn't said a word? That is wildly unprofessional. Stunning, really.

Elsewhere, Sharyn Alfonsi is not expected to have her contract renewed after clashing with Weiss and publicly criticizing the decision to hold her “Inside CECOT” story. Weiss has not communicated with Alfonsi about her future or offered her a new contract, a person familiar with the matter told Status earlier this week.

Say you're in a room with 400 people. 36 don't have health insurance. 48 live in poverty. 85 are illiterate. 90 have untreated mental illnesses. And everyday, at least 1 person is shot.

But 2 are trans so you decide ruining their lives is a priority.

That is what's happening right now.

As it becomes increasingly clear that the mess in the Middle East will continue through to the midterms, I can't help but wonder when the Republican Congress will step in -- to save their own jobs.

Line chart titled "Oil price futures are near all-time highs and oil is expected to remain expensive at least through the mid-term elections" showing November 2026 West Texas Intermediate futures prices. Crude oil futures have surged 53 percent from a low of $55.67 in December 2025 to $85.60 on May 15, 2026, with particularly sharp acceleration beginning in March 2026. Current prices are at their highest level for this contract, exceeding $20 per barrel above previous peaks and suggesting elevated oil costs will persist through the November 2026 midterm elections.

"This is not embracing the future, it's being harvested by the future"

China’s most recent wind vent was “raising lobsters” — shorthand for training the free open-source A.I. agent OpenClaw. Nearly 1,000 people, from amateur coders to housewives, lined up outside the tech giant Tencent’s headquarters to install the software on their devices. Users claimed that OpenClaw could kick-start side hustles and double stock returns; parents bought lobster installation services for their grade school children to keep up with their peers. Tech companies raced to monetize this anxiety, charging users for cloud servers and software access. “This is not ‘embracing the future,’” one disillusioned user on RedNote described the OpenClaw craze. “It’s ‘being harvested by the future.’”

Geographic solutions don't work. Because every red state has blue urban areas, and every blue state has red rural areas. Plus, it's just cruel to ask people to leave their family, friends, job, and often cultural upbringing behind in order to move out of a state on the wrong side of the divide.
