U.S. wildlife officials want to extend federal protections to a rare Nevada fish that environmentalists say is “barely clinging to existence” because of rapid groundwater pumping in a remote region experiencing extreme drought conditions.The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s proposal to list the Fish Lake Valley tui chub as an endangered species is expected to publish Wednesday on the Federal Register, kicking off a 60-day public comment period.It marks the Trump administration’s first consideration to list an endangered species during his second term. The pace of listings dropped dramatically during President Donald Trump’s first term.The Center for Biological Diversity sued in 2023 and secured a settlement last year that forced the government to decide by this month whether to list the fish under the Endangered Species Act, which makes it illegal to import, export, possess, transport or kill those species.Patrick Donnelly, director of the center’s work across the Great Basin where the tui chub is found, said Nevada can’t afford to lose any more of its native fish species, like the Ash Meadows killifish and Raycraft Ranch springfish that became extinct decades ago.Animals and WildlifeMay 19Scientists fear possible extinction of endangered whales after alarming birthing seasonAnimalsApr 17Endangered sea turtle populations show signs of recovery in part of the world“The Fish Lake Valley tui chub is barely clinging to existence,” he said in a statement. “I’m thrilled these fish are poised to get the life-saving protections they urgently need.”The olive-colored minnow, which is less than 5 inches (12.7 centimeters) long, used to live in a half dozen springs in Fish Lake Valley in southwestern Nevada, near the California border. But they are now found in just one spring system between Las Vegas and Reno that the center says is threatened by groundwater pumping mostly used for the production of alfalfa. Other threats include looming lithium mining and geothermal energy projects.While the tui chub is the “most significant organism” living in that pond, Donnelly said its significance is “much broader than that.” Fish Lake Valley’s wetlands that support all kinds of desert wildlife, including the pronghorn antelope and bighorn sheep, are also dependent on the groundwater there.“If the water level keeps going down and the Fish Lake Valley tui chub goes extinct, that whole ecosystem is going to crash, because it’s the same water that sustains both of them,” Donnelly said. “The Fish Lake Valley tui chub could be considered an indicator of the health of that whole ecosystem.”In its proposal, the wildlife agency said the designation is warranted because of “the destruction and modification” of the tui chub’s habitat “caused by agricultural production or other land management practices,” as well as the effects of climate change and competition with invasive species.At the same time, the Trump administration is seeking to eliminate habitat protections for endangered and threatened species by redefining “harm” in the Endangered Species Act, which has long included altering or destroying the places those species live.The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and National Marine Fisheries Service said in a proposed rule issued last month that habitat modification shouldn’t be considered harm because it isn’t the same as intentionally targeting a species, which is called “take.”If adopted, environmentalists say it would lead to the extinction of endangered species because of logging, mining, development and other activities. They argue that the definition of “take” has always included actions that harm species, and that the definition of “harm” has been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court.

The 'Big, Beautiful Bill' Will "Massively" Increase Near-Term Deficits, Add $5 Trillilon In Debt Late last week, the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) released its preliminary score of the House Ways and Means Committee mark-up of the large budget reconciliation bill working its way through Congress, also known as Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" (BBB). And while the BBB is inching to passing through Congress - despite holdouts still remaining especially over the size of the SALT deduction - here is a snapshot of what is in the Bill, and how it will affect the US in the coming decade.We start with a look at the fiscal policy focus of the BBB: Republicans' slim majority and their use of the budget reconciliation process are key influences on the composition of the fiscal policy-related legislation. That said, extending the expiring provisions of the TCJA should have sufficient support within the party for enactment. Additional tax cuts, such as a domestic manufacturing credit and not taxing tips, will be facilitated by the political viability of sufficient “pay-fors”. This will likely include watered-down versions of proposed IRA tax credit phase-outs and cuts to social spending programs.So how does one quantify the impact of the BBB: as a reminder, the Ways and Means Committee is responsible for writing the main tax code portion of the bill. Relative to the CBO’s January 2025 baseline, the JCT estimated the mark up to increase deficits by $3.8trn over the next 10 years, with most of the deficit increase ($2.2trn) occurring over the next five years. Indeed, breaking the bill down even further, of the $1.9trn of total savings identified in the mark up, the majority ($1.2trn) is realized over the back half of the 10-year budget window.It is also notable that $915bn of savings stem from capping individual deductions for state and local taxes – a figure that will come down in the final legislation given the pushback from many Republicans in high tax states. As a reminder, under current law, upon expiry of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the cap on state on local deductions would go away leading to lower tax revenues (all else equal).In addition, ~$560bn of savings are generated through terminations or earlier phasing out of clean energy-related tax credits and another $116bn from “remedies against unfair foreign taxes” – both measures highly dependent on projections with very wide error bands and/or yet to be defined enforcement mechanisms.As DB's Brett Ryan - who previously had made his own deficit claculations as a result of the "Big, Beautiful Bill"- writes, while the specific components of the additional tax cuts on top of the TCJA extension differed from what he had previously outlined, the JCT score of the Ways and Means mark-up was largely in line with the top-line deficit assumptions provided by Deutsche Bank. However, one key difference was 2025, where Ryan had assumed more of the additional tax cuts on top of the TCJA extension would be made retroactive to 2025. The first table below shows DB's prior estimates for deficit increases from tax and spending measures – excluding tariff revenue assumptions – compared to the latest JCT score of the Ways and Means mark up.To be sure, the JCT scoring of the Ways and Means Committee mark-up does not capture key elements of the fiscal outlook – namely, estimates of tariff revenues and potential spending increases. Recall that the Ways and Means Committee is responsible for the tax writing portion of the bill and JCT only scores revenue-related measures. Indeed, CBO scoring will likely provide a more complete picture on tariff revenue and spending as the legislative process moves forward. DB anticipates $300bn of increased spending on border and defense to be front loaded over the next couple of years as well as tariff revenues of around ~250bn per year.Risks are two-sided at this point. On the one hand, tariff revenues could be higher than currently penciled in, which assumes a ~15% tariff rate and only 2% import growth on average going forward. Conversely, the JCT score of the Ways and Means mark-up can be best thought of as a floor in terms of deficit increases over the 10-year budget window. The final legislative product is likely to show even less savings once the House and Senate “reconcile” their differences. In short, as DB concludes, "there appears to be no serious effort at reining in historically-elevated deficits which remain on track to exceed over 6% of GDP in the coming years."Extending on this, Morgan Stanley writes that the bank's base case is that a politically viable fiscal package will be composed of tax cut extensions with incremental tax cuts mostly offset by “pay-fors”. As such, the key driver of projected deficit expansion in 2026 is slowing economic growth and cost growth embedded in current policy, and this fiscal package would add modestly to that baseline. Accounting for potential tariff revenue as a mitigant, the bank expects a 2026 deficit of 7.1% of GDP (vs. 6.7% in 2025), an increase of ~$310 billion year on year...... however, the bank also lays out a low and high deficit case, where the former leads to a $400BN increase in the deficit, while the latter "only" $200BN.Taking a look at the bigger picture, keep in mind that the bulk of the BBB is just extending on the tax cuts from Trump 1.0, which is why if the bill does not pass, it would be equivalent to a huge tax hike, one which would lead to a lower budget deficit, but lead to an immediate recession as it would translate into a massive fiscal headwind. As such, while the BBB does lead to higher deficits, if largely due to secondary drivers such as the record $1.2 trillion in gross interest expense and economic slowdown, the Big Beautiful Bill will not result in much policy stimulus in 2026. Meanwhile, as Morgan Stanley notes, even assuming continuation of current policy, deficits should increase as the economy slows. And speaking of growth slowing down, MS expects this to happen due to a rise in uncertainty, trade policy, and restrictive immigration, but really it is a modest normalization of the runaway spending of the last two years of the Biden admin. In any case, softer economic growth means lower revenues and a higher deficit. In fact, only a third of the deficit increase for 2026 is due to discretionary fiscal policy in excess of TCJA extension.Finally, we look at the latest in-depth analysis from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, which estimates the BBB would add $3.3 trillion to the debt including interest or $5.2 trillion if its temporary provisions are made permanent. In part because new borrowing is front-loaded and offsets are back-loaded, the bill would add massively to near-term deficits.Unlike Morgan Stanley, the CRFB estimates the House bill would boost the FY 2027 deficit – the deficit in the first year the policies would be fully in effect – substantially more, by nearly $600 billion, or 1.8% of GDP. That’s the net effect of roughly $770 billion of new borrowing and only $180 billion of offsets.The deficits boost represents a one-third increase in total projected deficits from $1.7 to $2.3 trillion – and a near doubling of the primary (non-interest) deficit. What is (perhaps not so) unique about the bill is that spending and tax cuts are front-loaded, while offsets are back-loaded, which means about 55% of the gross deficit increases – $2.8 trillion – would take place in the first half of the budget window. Meanwhile only 40% of the offsets – $970 billion – would accumulate over that period. As a result, 70% of the non-interest borrowing would occur in the first five years.The tax cut and spending increase provisions are front-loaded due to the use of “arbitrary expirations” designed to limit reported costs. A number of provisions – including the enhanced Child Tax Credit and standard deduction, no tax on tips and overtime, 100 percent bonus depreciation for equipment, and new ‘MAGA accounts’ – are scheduled to expire in 2028 or 2029. The bill also relies on one-time appropriations for defense and immigration, which must be obligated by 2029. And finally, the bill includes a large number of retroactive provisions that provide a one-time windfall for activities already undertaken.Meanwhile, many of the offsets don’t begin or ramp up until late in the budget window. Medicaid work requirements, for example, save $300 billion through 2034 but do not take effect until 2028. In addition, while some of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) energy credits are repealed at the end of 2025, the most expensive ones only begin phasing out in a few years with some restrictions taking effect sooner. And the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) state matching fund requirements do not start until 2028. As a result of this mismatch and the sheer size of the bill’s deficit increases, the House bill would add to the deficit in every single year – with the possible exception of 2025 – even after the temporary provisions expire. But the largest deficit increases will take place very early in the budget window. The impact of tariffs aside, this additional acceleration in near-term borrowing could stoke inflation and push up interest rates well above current levels. And it may continue in the future if Congress extends expiring provisions and perhaps cancel some of the offsets.But what is most amazing, is that even this massive increase in the US deficit in the coming years is still a remarkable slowdown to the debt and deficit avalanche observed during the Biden administration, where like the president himself the economy was kept on life support thanks to a cocktail of debt, debt and more debt, as we first explained in the summer of 2023.This is how Bank of America's Michael Hartnett explained the "policy math" as one where monetary and fiscal policy stimulus in 2024 was best in USA, but in 2025 it’s better in the Rest-of-World:US Fed funds rate: 2024 = down 100bps, 2025 = unchanged.US government spending: past 12 months spending up huge $750bn (to $7.1tn), next 12 months spend down $50bn according to FY26 budget proposal.US tariffs: past 12 months import duties raised $85bn, next 12 months = $400-600bn (assuming 10-15% tariff rate), tariff taxation that falls on either foreign exporters, domestic importers, or domestic consumers.US tax cuts: next 12 months potentially start delivering $90bn per year in new tax cuts (rather than tax cut extensions); per CRFB current cost of “big, beautiful bill” next 10 years sees $0.2tn TCJA expansion of tax cuts + $0.7tn new tax cuts.US policy stimulus crudely flipping from meaty 100bps cuts & $750bn fiscal stimulus to >$250bn fiscal contraction (spending cuts & tariff hikes before tax cuts) & zero rate cuts...big reason why US economy slows in 2025Meanwhile, China is in big fiscal stimulus mood, and NATO military expenditures: defense spending in Europe set to rise $100bn per annum; per US proposal all other 31 NATO countries to raise military spend to 5% of GDP by 2032= $700bn extra defense spending by NATO ex. US (currently US accounts for $0.9tn or 69% of the NATO military budget covering 32 membersThe final straw, of course, was last Friday's Moody's downgrade of the US Aaa rating - the final one - which took place on purpose just as the debate over the BBB hit a fever pitch. And speaking of Moody's, earlier today we explained that the rating agency assumes the 2017 tax cuts are extended (unlike the last CBO semi-annual estimates), pushing debt and deficits much higher. The key Moody’s projections are:Interest + mandatory spending will hit 78% of total federal outlays by 2035 (from 73% in 2024)Deficits will rise from 6.4% to 9% of GDP by 2035Debt/GDP will hit 134% by 2035 (vs. 98% today)And, as we also discussed earlier today in what America's Debt Doomsday looks like, both U.S. debt and deficits are about to truly take off. As shown in the chart below, while the baseline CBO projections don’t include the tax cut extension, one of their alternative scenarios of including it pushes debt/GDP above 200% of GDP over the decades ahead. The chart hardly needs any further commentary.For anyone "shocked" by this development, don't be: back in February we warned readers, while praising the efforts of Elon Musk and DOGE, that while superficially cutting and streamlining government spending here and there will help, it will do nothing at all in the grand scheme of things to truly slash unsustainable government spending, which is dictated by Congress...Here's the bigger play at hand, and why there is only token pushback to DOGE.You cut enough spending - even if it's all grift and fraud - you eventually get a recession, guaranteed.

The S&P 500 lost 0.39%, ending its six-day run in the green. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said he’s committed to leading the company for the next five years. Separately, Musk confirmed Tesla will have robotaxis in Austin by the end of June. Japan’s exports growth in April slowed for the second consecutive month. Google is adding a new artificial intelligence subscription service called “Google AI Ultra.” AI is still the most important theme for markets, said Josh Brown, Ritholtz Wealth Management CEO.One consequence of the tariff tumult caused by U.S. President Donald Trump over the past month is that investor enthusiasm over artificial intelligence has waned. Only three of the Magnificent Seven stocks — all of which have a finger in the AI pie — are positive this year, with Nvidia eking out a tiny 0.07% gain year to date.The dampened investor mood over AI — relative to the frenzy over the theme in 2024, at least — doesn’t reflect the priorities of companies, which are still spending on AI infrastructure and leveraging the technology to find new revenue streams. Google-parent Alphabet will be adding a new AI subscription service that costs $249.99 a month, while Tesla is banking on AI to power its robotaxi ambitions.Indeed, Josh Brown, co-founder and CEO of Ritholtz Wealth Management, wrote on CNBC PRO that AI will still be the main catalyst for markets despite tariffs sucking all the air out of the trading floor since Trump’s “Liberation Day” on April 2. And with the rally in stocks flagging Tuesday, AI could eventually provide more wind to markets’ sails.What you need to know todayS&P 500 breaks six-day win streakU.S. markets slipped Tuesday.

Rebellion's CEO has provided more insight into why a battle royale game in the Sniper Elite series was canceled.We first heard about the Sniper Elite battle royale last summer, but by November, reports emerged that the project was canceled after Tencent pulled funding. Rebellion, the studio behind the Sniper Elite series, never really explained why this battle royale was canceled. It was focused on promoting Sniper Elite Resistance, a single-player game that launched in January. In a new interview with The Game Business, Rebellion CEO Jason Kingsley revealed more about this project and why it was canceled."That was a bit of a one-off. We don't do work-for-hire. But we were very keen to learn about how Tencent worked. And Tencent were very keen to learn how we worked," Kingsley explained. "At the end of the day, we walked away because we felt the market had shifted entirely. We still have great relationships with them. It was one of those business opportunities that didn't get to the ultimate end that we were hoping for."Continue Reading at GameSpot

The Supreme Court on Tuesday found that the Maine legislature must count the votes of a GOP lawmaker who was censured after she identified a transgender teen athlete in a viral social media post.The court majority sided with Rep. Laurel Libby, who filed an emergency appeal to restore her ability to vote while her lawsuit over the punishment plays out. There were two noted dissents, Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson.The majority did not explain its reasoning, as is typical on the court’s emergency docket. Jackson, for her part, wrote separately to say the case “raises many difficult questions” and Libby may ultimately win. Still, she said the justices should have let lower courts continue to deal with the case, since there are no significant upcoming votes where her vote could change the ultimate outcome.The Democratically controlled House found that Libby’s viral post had violated its code of ethics by putting the student at risk. She was blocked from speaking and voting on the floor after she refused to apologize.Libby said the punishment violates her right to free speech and leaves her district without representation.Maine state attorneys argued that she still has other ways to participate in the legislative process, and would regain her voting power if she apologized.Libby’s February post was about a high school athlete who won a girls’ track competition. She said the student had previously competed in boys’ track. Her post included a photo of the student and first-name identification in quotation marks.Libby’s post went viral, preceding a public disagreement over the issue between Republican President Donald Trump and Democratic Maine Gov. Janet Mills. The Trump administration later filed a lawsuit against the state for not complying with the government’s push to ban transgender athletes.Associated Press writer Mark Sherman contributed to this story.
