The US Department of Education wants to grease the wheels for college mergers and acquisitions, a rare Trump administration proposal with broad support from university leaders who see the policy helping the sector withstand a wave of financial distress.

SpaceX has won a contract for more than $4 billion to build satellites to track foreign aircraft and missiles as part of President Donald Trump’s Golden Dome defensive shield.
The space-based tracking network integrates space sensors, communication systems and AI-enabled ground processing to look and alert for airborne threats from orbit, according to a US Space Force statement Friday. The US had been using ground-based sensors and military aircraft to monitor the skies, but placing detection capabilities in space could eliminate potential blind spots, the Space Force said.

The $4.16 billion award underscores SpaceX’s deepening ties to the Pentagon and its close involvement with Golden Dome, which is intended to protect the US from attacks through layered defense systems ranging from Earth to space. SpaceX is already under contract to develop prototypes of space-based interceptors for the project and is part of a multi-company software consortium building the operating layer underpinning Golden Dome, Bloomberg has reported.

Sana Pashankar, Bloomberg Space Reporter
Zack Gharib, President, Red Roof on expansion into Canada, consumer trends and travel behavior

Food is an essential part of every workday; it brings employees together to connect and enables collaboration. But it's often unmanaged, with multiple vendors, decentralized spend, and no single owner. 92% of employers say that providing food makes employees more productive, and 86% of hybrid employers say food encourages employees to work onsite. ezCater is a workplace food tech platform that connects organizations of all sizes and industries with over 125,000 restaurants nationwide to make food easy to order, manage, and scale.

For more, guest hosts Matt Miller and Alexis Christophorous spoke with Nihad Rahman, CEO of ezCater.
