AT&T-Time Warner Shares in AT&T and Time Warner fell on Monday as Wall Street investors expressed concerns that political and regulatory roadblocks may thwart AT&T’s $85bn takeover of the Hollywood movie studio and owner of CNN and HBO, The Guardian and Minnesota Public Radio reported.

Elizabeth Warren and Sander have already started outlining specific people they're hoping end up in senior posts at the White House and agencies, The Associated Press, The New York Times, The Boston Globe and Vanity Fair reported. Sanders and Warren have both crisscrossed the country for Clinton.

National Cost of Health Plans to Rise Premiums for midlevel health plans under the Affordable Care Act will increase by an average of 25 percent next year, while consumers in some states will find significantly fewer insurance companies offering coverage, the federal government said Monday, The New York Times reported. But the Obama administration said three-fourths of consumers would still be able to find plans for less than $100 a month with the help of federal subsidies. Vermont Teachers’ Union Contract The Burlington teachers union ratified a tentative employment agreement Monday afternoon, possibly putting an end to 15 months of bitter negotiations over a one-year contract with the School Board, The Burlington Free Press reported. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
