Change backed by labor department would expose workers to greater financial risk, letter shared with Guardian says Congressional Democrats are strongly opposing a US Department of Labor proposal that would allow 401(k) investments to include cryptocurrency, private credit and private equity assets, arguing the change will expose workers to riskier and more complex investments. In a letter shared exclusively with the Guardian, Senator Bernie Sanders, Senator Elizabeth Warren and House education and workforce committee ranking member Bobby Scott of Virginia, argued the rule would expose an estimated $14.2tn of 401(k) retirement savings to volatile assets and would probably not withstand a challenge in court.

In todayโs newsletter: Its software is used from health services to militaries. But controversies and criticism of the $375bn company are leading some to ask if Palantir is too powerful Good morning. The Peter Mandelson story keeps unfolding. Peter Walker explains here what is in the latest release of documents, and Henry Dyer takes a look at the key papers missing from the latest disclosures. But today we are covering another major story โ Palantir. Few companies attract controversy more than Palantir. Since the pandemic, the US data analytics company has grown voraciously, using its AI-driven software to make sense of intractable datasets for customers around the world. For the NHS, it analyses patient records; for the US military, itโs focused on targets in Iran. Palantirโs products are widely used, with the business now worth $375bn. UK politics | Peter Mandelson was receiving sensitive security briefings about the Foreign Officeโs work, and was in discussions with the head of MI6, before he had completed the developed vetting process, documents reveal. Ukraine | Russian air raids on major Ukrainian centres including Kyiv, Dnipro and Kharkiv killed at least five people and wounded dozens by early morning on Tuesday, authorities said. Environment | More than a million jobs, higher wages, nearly half a trillion pounds in investment in the pipeline โ the UKโs green economy is powering ahead, according to research by the countryโs leading business organisation. US news | Donald Trump is reconsidering whether to keep pressing for a $1.8bn fund to compensate his allies, a person familiar with his thinking said, as the justice department paused the program to comply with a court order. UK news | Sir Alan Bates has said that the schemes set up to compensate post office operators over the Horizon IT scandal have been an โutter disasterโ and that the government should not be involved in running them.

Announcement by Marco Rubio is being widely seen as setback for Brazilโs president, and a boost for his far-right challenger The United States has designated Brazilโs two largest criminal gangs, the First Capital Command (PCC) and the Red Command, as foreign terrorist organisations. The announcement, made by Marco Rubio, the secretary of state, on Thursday, is being widely seen in Brazil as a setback for Luiz Inรกcio Lula da Silva, the president who had strongly opposed the designation โ and a boost for Lulaโs main challenger in Octoberโs presidential election, the far-right senator Flรกvio Bolsonaro.

The Park Slope Food Coop boycott vote follows tensions and rifts among members and larger community Members of a storied food co-operative in Brooklyn have voted to boycott about a dozen products from Israel and Israeli settlements in occupied Palestine โ capping years of contentious debate over a conflict half a world away that has threatened to rip apart a landmark institution for liberal New Yorkers. The Park Slope Food Coop vote, which took place Tuesday night during a three-hour virtual meeting attended by about 7,000 of the co-operativeโs 17,000 members, follows months of dueling campaigning that one local rabbi opposed to the boycott described as a โproxy warโ. The boycott is supposed to impact some brands of tahini, peppers and persimmons as well as other products. Sixty-seven percent of participants voted in favor of the boycott. Continue reading...

When her sibling died in an accident the singer-songwriter sought comfort in music. But after finding that the most celebrated records about loss were angry, loud and male, she set about creating something very different In the months after her sisterโs death, singer-songwriter Liz Lawrence couldnโt even listen to music, let alone play it. โI was very much, โThatโs in the past and I donโt know whatโs going to be asked of me now,โโ she says. โI didnโt think about my work. I wasnโt interested. I didnโt have any appetite for it.โ After slowly gravitating back to music via female vocalists such as Lisa OโNeill, Adrianne Lenker and Joanna Newsom, and as the time afforded to grieving was squeezed out by a life still ongoing, Lawrence realised she needed songs that allowed her to return to that โspace of contemplation, reflection and sadnessโ. She quickly searched out a Reddit thread of the best grief albums of all time, only to find a lengthy list of very specific rock and metal records chiefly made by men. โI was just looking for open and frank sadness,โ she says, as opposed to the anger broiling within the suggested albums. That plain-speaking despair permeates Lawrenceโs beautiful fifth album, Vespers, an unvarnished tribute to elder sister Jessie, who died suddenly in 2024 following an accident while on holiday with her partner and two small children in Ireland.

A new exhibition at Tate Britain includes canvases titled after symphonies and nocturnes, but the inspiration flows in both directions. Plus, how Felicity Lott led me to an epiphany Comparisons between music, painting and sculpture have never quite rung true for me because youโre talking about fundamentally opposed ideas of what the experience of art is all about. A painting can be experienced in a secondโs contemplation or an hourโs, but a piece of music, be it symphony or sonata, has to be journeyed through for just as long as the performance lasts. And yet, the week the James McNeill Whistler exhibition opens at the Tate in London (hereโs Jonathan Jonesโs five-star review), Iโm having to reconsider. Whistler was profoundly influenced by music, a connection that goes so deep that the results arenโt only aesthetic but visceral, in the fabric of the form and expression of his pictures and his philosophy of painting.
