Also: Depop's new owner and a look at who gets left behind by new Trump Accounts.

WSJ What’s News - Hundreds of Companies Sue Over Trump Tariffs

A.M. Edition for Feb. 24. The Trump administration is considering new national security tariffs on a half-dozen industries, after the Supreme Court last week invalidated many of the president’s second-term levies. That ruling has prompted companies like FedEx, Revlon and Costco to file suit. Plus, President Trump is expected to tout the U.S. economy in his State of the Union later. But as WSJ’s Alex Frangos explains, the economic report card is a bit more mixed. And, Ukraine marks a grim milestone as the war with Russia enters its fifth year. Daniel Bach hosts.

Up First from NPR - Trump State of the Union Strategy, Mexico Cartel Violence, Epstein Files Naming Trump

Republican strategists say President Trump needs a reset in his State of the Union tonight, with new NPR polling showing 60% of Americans think the country is worse off than a year ago.
Mexico is still reeling from cartel violence after a military operation killed the country's biggest drug lord, El Mencho, and triggered a wave of retaliation, raising questions about whether the government can take on the cartels without fueling even more violence.
And an NPR investigation finds the Justice Department removed or withheld dozens of pages from the Epstein files database that include allegations mentioning President Trump, even as the administration says it has released everything.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S12 E7: James Davies, Kinetic Data

James Davies lives in the Maryland area, and started his career at the crossroads of tech and the auto industry. His first girlfriend's father owned some car lots - so he went to work there, wrote some software, and propelled his success at those dealerships. He notes that the auto industry was fun and has a lot of moving parts, but was pretty taxing personally. Outside of tech, he is married with 2 kids. He grew up around construction, so he enjoys getting his hands dirty and building things. In fact, he is fixing up the barn of the recent home he bought - framing, doing the plumbing, and making it livable.

James was working for the state department as a consultant, and was a customer of his current venture. He was chosen to implement the solution, which turned out to be a successful project. Post that project, he was approached by the company to lead projects on the east coast and eventually landed in the CEO role.

This is James' creation story at Kinetic Data.

Marketplace All-in-One - Here’s how to prep for a job interview with AI

Imagine you're getting ready for a job interview. What do you do to prepare? You may have your sibling do a mock interview. You might also panic-buy a professional looking workbag.


Now, imagine you learn your interviewer is an artificial intelligence bot. This is becoming a more common occurrence. Employers are outsourcing not just the screening of applications to artificial intelligence, but also the interviewing.


Ray Smith, workplace reporter at The Wall Street Journal, wrote about how to prepare for this experience after esting a couple job interviews with an AI. He said it was nerve-racking.
