President Donald Trump’s doubling of tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum could hit Americans in an unexpected place: grocery aisles. The announcement of a staggering 50% levy on those imports has stoked fear that big-ticket purchases from cars to washing machines to houses could see major price increases.

But those metals are so ubiquitous in packaging, they’re likely to pack a punch across consumer products from soup to nuts. Among those opposing the hiked tariffs is the Can Manufacturers Institute. It says American consumers will pay for those taxes in increased costs of canned goods.

Congress asked to claw back approved spending

The White House has officially asked Congress to claw back $9.4 billion in already approved spending. The process known as rescission will take funding away from programs targeted by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency. It requires President Donald Trump to get approval from Congress to return money that had previously been appropriated.

Trump’s aides say the funding cuts target programs that promote liberal ideologies. The request to Congress is unlikely to meaningfully change the troublesome increase in the U.S. national debt. The Congressional Budget Office estimates the government is on track to spend roughly $7 trillion this year, with the rescission request equaling just 0.1% of that total.

Fed lifts restrictions placed on Wells Fargo

The Federal Reserve said Tuesday that Wells Fargo is no longer subject to the restraints the Fed placed on the bank in 2018 for having a toxic sales and banking culture. It’s a win for Wells Fargo, which has spent nearly a decade trying to convince the public and policymakers that it had changed its ways.

Faced with reaching unreasonable sales targets, branch employees had opened up millions of fake accounts in order to meet those goals. The Federal Reserve took the unusual step of placing Wells in a program where it could grow no larger than it was in 2018.

Meta turning to nuclear power for AI needs

Meta has cut a 20-year deal to secure nuclear power to help meet surging demand for artificial intelligence and other computing needs at Facebook’s parent company. The investment with Meta will also expand the output of a Constellation Energy Illinois nuclear plant. The agreement announced Tuesday is just the latest in a string of tech-nuclear partnerships as the use of AI expands.

Surging investments in small nuclear reactors comes at a time when large tech companies are facing two major demands: a need to increase their energy supply for AI and data centers, among other needs, while also trying to meet their long-term goals to significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions.

No SS garnishment for student loan borrowers

Borrowers who have defaulted on their student loans will no longer be at risk of having their Social Security benefits garnished, an Education Department spokesperson said Tuesday. The government last month restarted collections for the millions of people in default on their federal student loans.

An estimated 452,000 people aged 62 and older had student loans in default, according to a January report from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Advocates encouraged the Trump administration to go further to provide relief for the roughly 5.3 million borrowers in default.

Meta becomes the latest big tech company turning to nuclear power for AI needs

WASHINGTON — Meta has cut a 20-year deal to secure nuclear power to help meet surging demand for artificial intelligence and other computing needs at Facebook’s parent company.

The investment with Meta will also expand the output of a Constellation Energy Illinois nuclear plant.

The agreement announced Tuesday is just the latest in a string of tech-nuclear partnerships as the use of AI expands. Financial details of the agreement were not disclosed.

Constellation’s Clinton Clean Energy Center was actually slated to close in 2017 after years of financial losses but was saved by legislation in Illinois establishing a zero-emission credit program to support the plant into 2027. The agreement deal takes effect in June of 2027, when the state’s taxpayer funded zero-emission credit program expires.

With the arrival of Meta, Clinton’s clean energy output will expand by 30 megawatts, preserve 1,100 local jobs and bring in $13.5 million in annual tax revenue, according to the companies. The plant currently powers the equivalent of about 800,000 U.S. homes.

“Securing clean, reliable energy is necessary to continue advancing our AI ambitions,” said Urvi Parekh, Meta’s head of global energy.

Surging investments in small nuclear reactors comes at a time when large tech companies are facing two major demands: a need to increase their energy supply for AI and data centers, among other needs, while also trying to meet their long-term goals to significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions.

Constellation, the owner of the shuttered Three Mile Island nuclear power plant, said in September that it planned to restart the reactor so tech giant Microsoft could secure power to supply its data centers. Three Mile Island, located on the Susquehanna River just outside Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was the site of the nation’s worst commercial nuclear power accident in 1979.

Also last fall, Amazon said it was investing in small nuclear reactors, two days after a similar announcement by Google. Additionally, Google announced last month that it was investing in three advanced nuclear energy projects with Elementl Power.

U.S. states have been positioning themselves to meet the tech industry’s power needs as policymakers consider expanding subsidies and gutting regulatory obstacles.

Last year, 25 states passed legislation to support advanced nuclear energy, and lawmakers this year have introduced over 200 bills supportive of nuclear energy, according to the trade association Nuclear Energy Institute.

Advanced reactor designs from competing firms are filling up the federal government’s regulatory pipeline as the industry touts them as a reliable, climate-friendly way to meet electricity demands from tech giants desperate to power their fast-growing artificial intelligence platforms.

Still, it’s unlikely the U.S. could quadruple its nuclear production within the next 25 years, like the White House wants. The United States lacks any next-generation reactors operating commercially and only two new large reactors have been built from scratch in nearly 50 years. Those two reactors, at a nuclear plant in Georgia, were completed years late and at least $17 billion over budget.

Amazon, Google and Microsoft also have been investing in solar and wind technologies, which make electricity without producing greenhouse gas emissions.

Shares of Constellation Energy Corp., based in Baltimore, were flat Tuesday.

A strong performance alone is not enough. What counts is the environment. If you meet platforms that not only offer visibility but also relevant contacts – retailers, media, investors – you will gain a real head start.

ISPO 2025 (30. NOV. – 02. DEC. 2025) is just such a platform. With curated arenas for Sportstech, Health & Wellbeing, Raw Materials, Retail Solutions – and of course the ISPO Brandnew Village – it is a catalyst for startups with vision.

Caspar Copetti, co-founder of On, makes this clear. Great opportunities arose for his brand not only after ISPO, but also shortly after the Brandnew Award announcement:

Just two weeks after the announcement, we had 600 emails in our inbox – which is also how our first six distribution partnerships came about.

Another special highlight is the Founders Fight Club, a pitch competition that puts start-ups to the test with direct feedback, critical questions and lots of entertainment. Those who impress here not only gain international attention, but often also valuable contacts and investors.

Whether matchmaking with retailers in the new Retail Clubmedia boost through the Global Sports Creator Summit or concrete support through the ISPO Young Talents program: not only contacts are made here , but real opportunities for company growth.

In an era where algorithms analyze every play and wearables track every heartbeat, it’s easy to believe that data now drives professional sports. But as technology transforms the industry at lightning speed — from AI-generated scouting reports to virtual reality training — one truth remains: It still takes a leader to motivate players, inspire a team and steer a franchise to success on the field and off.

The future of sports may be increasingly digital, but its heart is still deeply human. Behind each advanced analytic is a person who created it — a flesh-and-blood being who, despite possessing incredible talent and athletic ability, is subject to the same human fears, doubts and need for interpersonal connection as all of us are.

That’s why leaders matter. We instinctively know this to be true, yet despite the billions of dollars the sports industry has invested in advanced technology, analytics and cutting edge artificial intelligence platforms, sports has invested very little in maximizing the capacity of those who are perhaps the most influential in developing raw talent into highly capable performers.

Leadership pipelines still look like they did a decade ago with sporadic mentorship, a weekend seminar and the occasional MBA. Meanwhile, the tech stack keeps piling higher. And in this high-tech arena, strong, visionary sports leadership will be more essential than ever.

Opinion

Get smart opinions on the topics North Texans care about.

At Abilene Christian University, we decided the answer wasn’t another gadget. It was a new kind of curriculum. On May 19, we launched the Center for Sports Leadership and Learning, a fully online bachelor’s and master’s hub built in partnership with organizations like the Texas Rangers and Houston Texans.

Our goal is to unlock the human potential within each sports professional and athlete. Our curriculum is grounded in self-assessments, guiding leaders to understand themselves on and off the field.

We’re also helping leaders understand others by developing the emotional intelligence it takes to navigate high-stakes situations and conflict. We call this “high-performance leadership” and it makes all the difference in an industry where the tech stack keeps rising and the pressure to win at all costs builds.

Our early pilot with RangersU, an academic pathway for Texas Rangers players and coaches, shows what’s possible. The Houston Texans, the National Amateur Fall Baseball Federation and Endebrock Talent Management are among our growing list of partners who believe sports, at its core, is a character venture.

But ACU is just one university. The larger point is this: Every conference, league and sports-tech startup now faces the same choice. Invest in comprehensive leadership development or watch emerging technology outpace the people tasked with wielding it responsibly.

In the biblical Book of Proverbs we’re reminded, “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” The sports industry is staring at a vision vacuum — one that no sensor, streaming deal or blockchain ticketing platform can fill. The solution is deceptively simple and incredibly hard: Build better leaders to keep up with tech.

That’s the play ACU has chosen. We invite leagues, athletic directors and forward-thinking franchises to run it with us, because the scoreboard of the future will measure character every bit as much as points, and the teams that train for both will own the next era of sport.

Stephen Johnson is CEO of Abilene Christian University–Dallas, home of the Center for Sports Leadership and Learning.
