A year ago today, the president pulled out a chart in the now paved-over Rose Garden and set the global economy on fire. He announced his so-called “Liberation Day” tariffs, which changed a bunch of times before being deemed illegal by the Supreme Court earlier this year. And those tariffs were mostly paid by us — consumers and small businesses. Plus, just how worried should we be about jitters in the private credit market?

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S12 Bonus: Yoav Crombie, Pragatix by AGAT Software
Yoav Crombie was born and raised in Israel, serving in the army for 6 years as an engineer. He's been in the tech industry of 35 years, but doesn't see this work as work. He thoroughly enjoys what he is doing, especially with what is going on with AI right now, specifically around the quick creation process. Outside of tech, he has been married for 30 years. He loves water sports - kite surfing, regular surfing and paddle boarding. In addition, he loves to cycle, and was the Israeli road champion many years ago.
Yoav realized that companies were struggling that businesses were struggling to implement and adopt AI. In particular, he noticed that there was risk in publicly sharing your data. But alongside that, other companies wanted more control to how AI functioned for their country. So his company started to build a solution to solve both of these problems.
This is the creation story Pragatix, a product of AGAT Software.

Marketplace All-in-One - 34 days without internet in Iran
It is day 34 of the internet blackout in Iran. But while it is the longest in their history, it does not mean that Iranians are without internet.
In Iran, there is the global internet, and then the intranet, or National Information Network, which is controlled by the Iranian government. Right now, only the NIN is available, and Iranians have been digitally isolated from the outside world, according to Amir Rashidi, the director for digital rights and security at the Miaan Group, a human rights nonprofit.
“Marketplace Tech” host Meghan McCarty Carino spoke with Rashidi about the current status of internet connection in Iran.

Headlines From The Times - Supreme Court Takes Up Trump’s Birthright Citizenship Case and Apple Celebrates 50th Anniversary
On the first day of his second term in office, President Trump signed an executive order arguing that babies born in the United States to parents who are either undocumented immigrants or temporary foreign visitors are not citizens, going against U.S. policy that dates back more than 150 years based on a longstanding interpretation of the 14th Amendment. On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court took up that question again, and in a historic move, Trump attended the oral arguments in person, something no sitting president has ever done before. We should see a decision on this in late June or early July. Meanwhile, for the first time in more than 50 years, humans are headed for the moon. On Wednesday evening, NASA's Artemis II is launching four astronauts on a lunar fly-around. Already, the mission is making history, the crew includes the first woman, the first person of color, and the first non-American to set off for the moon, with liftoff scheduled from Cape Canaveral, Florida. In business, organizers of the Barbie Dream Fest in Florida are issuing full refunds after attendees reported the high-priced immersive event failed to meet expectations, and Apple is celebrating its 50th anniversary.
