A federal judge has ruled against the Donald Trump administration, ordering the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to halt immigration arrests in Southern California unless there is probable cause.
What Happened: US District Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong found that the DHS had been conducting arrests in Los Angeles without probable cause, as per a CNN <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/07/11/politics/california-immigration-arrests-probable-cause/index.html">report</a>. The judge, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, ordered the DHS to stop detaining individuals based solely on race, spoken language, or occupation.
The ruling, which came after a case was filed by the ACLU of Southern California, is limited to the seven-county jurisdiction of the US Central District of California. The judge criticized the Trump administration for failing to provide information about the basis for the arrests.

Additionally, the DHS has been ordered to maintain and provide regular documentation of arrests to plaintiffs&#8217; counsel. The ruling also applies to the FBI and the Justice Department, both of which were listed as defendants in the lawsuit.
Why It Matters: The ruling comes amid a series of immigration-related events. In June, former President Barack Obama called for dignity in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45943372/obama-calls-for-dignity-in-immigration-enforcement-as-ice-crackdown-escalates">immigration enforcement</a> as protests against President Donald Trump&#8217;s immigration crackdown escalated. Trump, on the other hand, had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/06/45786428/trump-shuts-the-door-on-permanent-immigration-and-most-visas-from-these-12-nations">barred nearly all immigration and travel</a> from 12 nations, citing poor vetting and terrorism threats.
Meanwhile, in California, Governor Gavin Newsom proposed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45436970/amid-12-billion-deficit-california-governor-newsom-proposes-freezing-healthcare-access-for-undocumented-immigrants-sparks-bipartisan-backlash">freezing healthcare access for undocumented immigrants</a> as a strategy to address a $12 billion deficit. The proposed freeze would prevent low-income adults without legal status from applying for Medi-Cal, California&#8217;s Medicaid program, beginning in 2026.

Cathie Wood's Ark Invest Continues To Bet On Tesla, Offloads Kratos Defense And Coinbase

Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino is contemplating stepping down due to tensions between the FBI and the Justice Department over the Jeffrey Epstein memo. CNN.
What Happened: This development follows a heated exchange with Attorney General Pam Bondi regarding the case&#8217;s management earlier in the week, according <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/07/11/politics/bongino-consider-resigning-epstein-files">to</a> a CNN report.
The discord reached a peak during a Wednesday meeting involving Bongino, Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, according to sources.
Bongino and Patel faced accusations of leaking a story suggesting the FBI sought more information released, which was blocked by the Department of Justice. Bongino denied leaking the information to NewsNation, which published the story.
Speculation about Bongino&#8217;s resignation grew when he did not report to work on Friday, though sources indicated he had not officially resigned. The episode occurs amid growing frustration from President Donald Trump&#8216;s advisors over Bondi&#8217;s handling of the Epstein files, following criticism from the president&#8217;s supporters.

The Justice Department&#8217;s recent memo stating no evidence of a &#8220;client list&#8221; or murder in Epstein&#8217;s case has fuelled anger among Trump&#8217;s supporters. Meanwhile, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche denied any rift between the FBI and DOJ leadership, calling such suggestions &#8220;patently false&#8221; in a post on X.
Why It Matters: The controversy surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein files has been intensifying, with high-profile figures like Elon Musk and Alan Dershowitz making significant claims.
Musk has repeatedly<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46264647/elon-musk-renews-demand-for-jeffrey-epstein-files-release-weeks-after-alleging-trump-is-named-in-them"> called for the release of the unredacted Epstein files</a>, especially after alleging that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45828121/elon-musks-bombshell-about-donald-trump-in-epstein-docs-heres-the-truth-behind-the-claim">Trump is named in them</a>. This demand for transparency has been echoed by others, including MAGA activist Scott Presler, who urged the release of the files on X. Read more.
Meanwhile, Dershowitz, who has represented Trump in an impeachment trial, has claimed knowledge of the names in the Epstein files<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46358593/trump-impeachment-lawyer-alan-dershowitz-claims-he-knows-names-on-epstein-client-list-but-says-hes-bound-by-confidentiality-i-know-whos-supressing-them"> but is bound by confidentiality</a>. He stated, "I know the names of the individuals. I know why they&#8217;re being suppressed. I know who&#8217;s suppressing them," during an appearance on "The Sean Spicer Show."
These revelations come amid broader concerns about the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44067638/elon-musk-claims-rival-billionaire-wants-to-destroy-trump-to-suppress-jeffrey-epstein-client-list"> potential implications of the Epstein files</a>, with Musk alleging that powerful figures, including former President Bill Clinton and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, are uneasy about the potential release of the so-called "Epstein List."

Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino Considers Resignation Amid Epstein Memo Fallout: Report

Bill Gates has raised concerns over the severe consequences of the U.S. aid cuts on HIV programs in Africa, calling for a reversal of the decision.
What Happened: Gates, a co-founder of Microsoft Corp., highlighted the dire situation unfolding in Africa in a post on X, citing the cuts in U.S. aid. He shared a tweet by Sam Stein, a journalist, who reported on the distressing conditions faced by an HIV doctor in Africa, whose work relies on USAID and PEPFAR.

Gates emphasized that the devastating effects of these cuts are entirely preventable and urged a reversal of the decision.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">The devastating effects of these cuts are entirely preventable—and it's not too late to reverse them. <a href="https://t.co/wWBjW842gR">https://t.co/wWBjW842gR</a>
&mdash; Bill Gates (@BillGates) <a href="https://twitter.com/BillGates/status/1943750242148790622?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 11, 2025</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Why It Matters: The U.S. aid cuts have been a point of concern for Gates for some time now. He previously warned that the cuts could lead to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/health-care/25/07/46260344/bill-gates-warns-us-aid-cuts-could-kill-millions-of-children-end-hiv-programs-leave-75-million-unvaccinated-devastating-lancet-study-gavi-unaids-sound-alarm">catastrophic global health crisis</a>, potentially causing millions of additional deaths by 2040. The aid reductions have already resulted in a significant impact, with studies projecting 8 million additional child deaths before age five by 2040, along with 15.2 million excess AIDS deaths and 2.2 million additional tuberculosis deaths between 2025 and 2040.
The situation is particularly concerning as the U.S. is a major contributor to global health initiatives. Gates&#8217; warnings come at a time when the U.S. is also facing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/health-care/25/06/46159226/bill-gates-warns-us-its-not-too-late-to-change-course-as-trump-team-targets-hiv-funding-cuts">potential cuts</a> to its HIV funding, which could have a significant impact on global health programs.
Despite these challenges, there have been efforts to mitigate the impact of the aid cuts. For instance, Gilead Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GILD#NASDAQ">GILD</a>) recently committed to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/health-care/25/07/46325593/gileads-lenacapavir-plan-faces-global-hurdles-as-it-commits-to-no-profit-access-for-2-million">no-profit access</a> for its HIV-1 capsid inhibitor, Lenacapavir, for up to two million people in countries supported by the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria.

Bill Gates Warns Of 'Devestating Effects' Of USAID Funding Cuts: 'It's Not Too Late To Reverse Them'

Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) CEO Jensen Huang expressed his concerns about the potential job losses that could result from the widespread adoption of artificial intelligence (AI).
What Happened: Huang warned that the increasing use of AI could lead to job losses if industries fail to innovate, during an interview with CNN&#8217;s Fareed Zakaria. He emphasized that the key to maintaining employment in the face of AI is the continuous generation of fresh ideas.
&#8220;If the world runs out of ideas, then productivity gains translate to job loss,&#8221; said Huang.
He also referenced comments made by Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, who had previously warned of potential mass employment disruptions due to AI.

Despite these concerns, Huang believes that as long as companies continue to innovate, there is potential for both productivity and employment to thrive. He also defended the development of AI, stating that it has historically led to an increase in both employment and productivity.
Why It Matters: The potential impact of AI on employment has been a topic of debate in the tech industry. In May, billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban challenged concerns raised by Anthropic&#8217;s CEO, arguing that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45665698/mark-cuban-claps-back-at-anthropic-ceos-ai-doom-talk-new-jobs-will-outnumber-losses-just-like-when-secretaries-disappearedhttps://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45665698/mark-cuban-claps-back-at-anthropic-ceos-ai-doom-talk-new-jobs-will-outnumber-losses-just-like-when-secretaries-disappeared">AI will create more employment opportunities</a> than it eliminates. Huang&#8217;s recent comments add to this ongoing conversation, highlighting the importance of continued innovation to mitigate potential job losses due to AI.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang Warns AI Could Replace Jobs If Innovation Stalls: 'If The World Runs Out Of Ideas'

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced on Friday that the company is delaying the release of its open model, which had already been postponed earlier this summer.
What Happened: The release, initially scheduled for next week, is now on hold indefinitely to allow for additional safety testing, according <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/07/11/openai-delays-the-release-of-its-open-model-again/">to</a> a TechCrunch report.
Altman emphasized the need for further safety evaluations and a review of high-risk areas. &#8220;We need time to run additional safety tests and review high-risk areas. We are not yet sure how long it will take us,&#8221; Altman stated in a post on X. He added that while the community is expected to create significant advancements with this model, once the weights are released, they cannot be retracted.
Subscribe to the <a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a> to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
The open model&#8217;s release is one of the most anticipated AI events this summer, alongside the expected launch of GPT-5 by OpenAI. Unlike GPT-5, the open model will be available for developers to download and operate locally. TechCrunch noted that the delay means developers will have to wait longer to access OpenAI&#8217;s first open model in years.

Chinese AI startup Moonshot AI launched Kimi K2, a one-trillion-parameter open AI model, which reportedly surpasses OpenAI&#8217;s GPT-4.1 in several benchmarks. OpenAI&#8217;s VP of research, Aidan Clark, stated that while the model is &#8220;phenomenal,&#8221; the company aims to ensure it meets high standards before release.
Why It Matters: The delay in OpenAI&#8217;s open model release comes amid a highly competitive landscape in the AI industry. Recently, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46335602/elon-musk-s-xai-launches-grok-4-with-phd-level-ai-debuts-in-300-month-supergrok-tier">Elon Musk&#8217;s xAI</a> launched Grok 4, touted as the most powerful AI model, surpassing OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT. This model is available through a premium subscription, indicating a shift towards monetizing advanced AI capabilities.
Additionally, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/07/46380738/google-beats-openai-secures-windsurf-technology-ceo-and-key-staff-for-2-4-billion">Google</a> recently secured a $2.4 billion deal with Windsurf Technology, acquiring key personnel and technology to bolster its AI capabilities. This move highlights the fierce competition among tech giants to dominate the AI sector.
OpenAI&#8217;s recent recruitment of Apple&#8217;s data center chief and its $6.4 billion acquisition of Jony Ive&#8217;s hardware startup underscore its commitment to enhancing its infrastructure and technological prowess. These strategic moves are crucial as OpenAI navigates the challenges of releasing its open model amid rising competition and technological advancements.

OpenAI Postpones Open Model Release Indefinitely: 'We Need Time,' Says Sam Altman

JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>) CEO Jamie Dimon criticized the Democratic Party&#8216;s approach to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, calling them &#8220;idiots&#8221; with &#8220;big hearts and little brains.&#8221;
What Happened: Dimon, a prominent figure on Wall Street with ties to the Democratic Party, did not hold back in his criticism of the party&#8217;s DEI policies. He made these remarks at a foreign ministry event in Dublin, Ireland, according <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/07/11/jamie-dimon-democratic-party-idiots-dei-social-issues/">to</a> a Fortune report.
&#8220;I have a lot of friends who are Democrats, and they&#8217;re idiots. I always say they have big hearts and little brains. They do not understand how the real world works. Almost every single policy rolled out failed,&#8221; Dimon said.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/25/07/46373534/why-jpmorgan-analyst-is-bullish-on-apple-amazon-and-tesla">Why JPMorgan Analyst Is Bullish On Apple, Amazon And Tesla</a>
Dimon&#8217;s comments may come as a surprise given his previous ties to the Democrats. However, he has been vocal about his concerns regarding the party&#8217;s shift towards progressive and populist policies, particularly those he sees as anti-business or impractical.
Dimon also criticized the party&#8217;s focus on social issues, arguing that these narratives were misleading and not reflective of economic realities. His comments on DEI initiatives extended to the party&#8217;s prioritization of ideology over practical solutions, which he believes has become counterproductive.
Why It Matters: Dimon&#8217;s blunt criticism of the Democratic Party&#8217;s DEI policies comes at a time when the party is facing internal tensions, especially after the primary victory of New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, whom Dimon labeled &#8220;more of a Marxist than a socialist.&#8221;
Dimon&#8217;s remarks also reflect a broader trend among major banks to scale back DEI language and programs in response to political and legal shifts in the U.S. Earlier this year, JPMorgan announced a reduction in investment in certain diversity initiatives, citing the need to comply with &#8220;current laws and regulations&#8221; as a key reason for the shift.
Dimon&#8217;s criticism of the Democratic Party&#8217;s DEI policies follows his previous comments on the party&#8217;s ideological drift. In 2024, Dimon voiced concerns about the party&#8217;s shift towards progressive and populist policies, particularly those he saw as anti-business or impractical.

JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon Calls Democrats 'Idiots' For Their DEI Policies: 'Big Hearts And Little Brains'

Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google has finalized a $2.4 billion agreement to license technology from AI coding startup Windsurf. This deal also includes hiring Windsurf&#8217;s CEO and a select group of its employees.
What Happened: Google has reached a $2.4 billion deal with Windsurf, an AI coding startup, according to a report <a href="https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/google-to-pay-2-4-billion-in-deal-to-license-tech-of-coding-startup-hire-ceo-b9b94bbc">by</a> The Wall Street Journal. The agreement involves licensing technology and hiring the company's CEO, Varun Mohan, cofounder Douglas Chen and some of the company's key R&amp;D employees to bring them to the Google DeepMind team.
This development comes after OpenAI attempted to acquire Windsurf for $3 billion. However, negotiations fell through due to objections from Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), OpenAI&#8217;s largest investor, particularly concerning access to Windsurf&#8217;s technology.

Google&#8217;s arrangement will see a small number of Windsurf employees join its DeepMind division to work on agentic coding. The tech giant will gain a nonexclusive license to some of Windsurf's technology but will not acquire any equity in the startup. Most Windsurf employees will remain with the company.

Why It Matters: The backdrop to this deal is a fierce competition among tech giants to dominate the AI landscape. Earlier this year, OpenAI had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45224667/microsoft-backed-openai-buys-windsurf-for-3-billion-to-strengthen-ai-coding-power">agreed to acquire Windsurf</a> for $3 billion. However, the acquisition fell apart, as noted by TechCrunch, when Microsoft, a key investor in OpenAI, raised <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/07/11/windsurfs-ceo-goes-to-google-openais-acquisition-falls-apart/">concerns</a> about access to Windsurf&#8217;s technology.
The failed acquisition attempt by OpenAI underscores the competitive nature of Silicon Valley, where major tech companies are in a race to secure top AI talent. Google previously invested $2.7 billion to hire former researcher Noam Shazeer and license technology from Character.AI, a startup he founded.

Google Beats OpenAI, Secures Windsurf Technology, CEO And Key Staff For $2.4 Billion

The Donald Trump administration has initiated the dismissal of over 1,350 employees from the State Department. This action, which affects both civil service and foreign service officers, is part of a broader restructuring initiated under the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), initially under Elon Musk.
What Happened: The layoffs, which commenced on Friday, are set to impact 1,107 civil service and 246 foreign service officers stationed in the U.S. This decision has drawn criticism from various quarters, with detractors arguing that it could weaken the U.S.&#8217;s ability to counter global threats.
These layoffs come at a time when the U.S. is facing several international crises, including the conflict in Ukraine, the Gaza conflict, and escalating tensions in the Middle East due to the Israel-Iran standoff, Reuters reported.
An internal State Department notice stated that the layoffs are part of a plan to streamline domestic operations and focus on diplomatic priorities. The overall workforce reduction, including voluntary departures, is expected to be nearly 3,000 out of the 18,000 employees based in the U.S.

This move is the first step in a restructuring effort by President Trump to realign U.S. foreign policy with his &#8220;America First&#8221; agenda. However, according to reports, critics, including former diplomats, have voiced concerns that the dismissal of foreign service officers could compromise the U.S.&#8217;s ability to counter the growing assertiveness of countries like China and Russia.
Why It Matters: This is not the first instance of the Trump administration implementing significant staff reductions. In May, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/05/45599865/white-house-national-security-council-faces-staff-reductions-as-part-of-major-restructuring-report">White House National Security Council saw a substantial reduction in its workforce</a>, with dozens of employees dismissed.
The administration has also faced legal challenges over its restructuring plans, such as the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/05/45326217/trumps-hhs-overhaul-faces-legal-blowback-from-states-over-deep-staffing-cuts-slashed-programs">HHS overhaul, which was met with legal blowback from states</a> over deep staffing cuts and slashed health programs.
The Trump administration&#8217;s plans for mass federal workforce reduction received a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/07/46313304/trumps-federal-job-cuts-gets-supreme-court-go-ahead-doge-outpaces-big-tech-in-layoffs-across-us-bureaucracy">key legal green light from the U.S. Supreme Court</a>. This ruling removed a legal barrier to the administration&#8217;s plans, potentially affecting tens of thousands of government employees and reshaping bureaucratic operations across various sectors.
These developments underscore the impact of the Trump administration&#8217;s restructuring efforts on the federal workforce and U.S. diplomatic and security operations.

Trump Administration Lays Off Over 1,350 State Department Employees After Getting Supreme Court Go-Ahead

The U.S. Treasury Department has reported that the country&#8217;s customs duty collections have surpassed $100 billion for the first time in a fiscal year.
What Happened: The U.S. Treasury Department revealed that the customs duty collections for June 2025 reached a record $27 billion. This has resulted in a surprising budget surplus of $27 billion for the month, Reuters reported. The surge in collections is attributed to President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs, which are now a significant revenue source for the federal government.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2025, the customs duty collections reached records of $113.3 billion on a gross basis and $108 billion on a net basis, nearly double the previous year&#8217;s collections.
Trump&#8217;s tariffs have now become the fourth-largest revenue source for the federal government, behind individual withheld receipts, non-withheld individual receipts, and corporate taxes.

Despite the June budget surplus, the overall year-to-date deficit has increased by 5% to $1.337 trillion, with outlays rising for health care programs, Social Security retirement benefits, defense spending, debt interest, and the Department of Homeland Security.
Why It Matters: This news comes on the heels of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/macro-economic-events/25/07/46190450/tariffs-propel-us-customs-revenue-to-a-record-106-billion-since-trumps-inauguration">collecting over $106 billion in customs revenue</a> since Trump&#8217;s inauguration, with a significant portion attributed to the administration&#8217;s tariffs.
The CBP achieved a success rate of over 99.5% in collecting customs duties and tariffs, and the department recovered an additional $16.3 billion in revenue by targeting over 35,000 shipments identified as high-risk for duty evasion or requiring further payments.
Earlier in April, U.S. customs revenue surged to an all-time high, delivering at least $15 billion in customs duties for the month, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44979972/us-treasury-hits-record-15-billion-in-customs-and-excise-tax-haul-amid-trumps-trade-policies">more than 60% increase over previous periods</a>.

Amid Trump Tariffs, US Customs Duty Collection Exceeds $100 Billion In A Fiscal Year For The First Time: Report

Elon Musk has rejected reports that his artificial intelligence venture xAI is gearing up for a new fundraising round.
A report had suggested that the company is looking at a funding round that could value the company between $170 billion and $200 billion.
What Happened: Saudi Arabia&#8217;s Public Investment Fund (PIF) was reported to play a crucial role in this deal, according to<a href="https://www.ft.com/content/25aab987-c2a1-4fca-8883-38a617269b68"> a</a> Financial Times report. PIF already has an indirect stake in xAI through its investment in Kingdom Holdings Company, which has committed $800 million to the firm.
Amid these reports, Musk commented on X, stating, &#8220;xAI is not seeking funding right now. We have plenty of capital.&#8221;

In late June, Morgan Stanley disclosed that xAI had completed a $5 billion debt raise and a separate $5 billion strategic equity investment. This move is part of the startup&#8217;s strategy to enhance its AI infrastructure through data centers amid increasing competition.

Elon Musk Rejects Reports That xAI Is Looking To Raise Additional Funds At $200 Billion Valuation: 'We Have Plenty Of Capital'

A preliminary report by the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) has identified a cut in the fuel supply to the engines as a contributing factor to the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45899174/boeing-dreamliner-carrying-over-200-passengers-crashes-shortly-after-takeoff-near-indias-ahmedabad-ba-stock-falls-over-5-in-thursday-pre-market"> Air India crash</a> involving the Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) 787 Dreamliner that resulted in the loss of 260 lives.
What Happened: The tragic incident occurred when the engine fuel cutoff switches flipped, leading to a loss of engine power, according to a Reuters report on Friday.
&nbsp;The fuel cutoff switches "transitioned from RUN to CUTOFF position one after another with a time gap of 01 sec," according to the preliminary report.
"In the cockpit voice recording, one of the pilots is heard asking the other why did he cutoff. The other pilot responded that he did not do so," the report adds.
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner was on a flight from Ahmedabad to London when it lost thrust shortly after takeoff. India&#8217;s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) reported no apparent fault by Boeing or engine manufacturer GE Aerospace (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GE#NYSE">GE</a>).
In 2018, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin (SAIB) regarding the potential disengagement of the fuel control switch locking feature based on reports from operators of Model 737 airplanes that the fuel control switches were installed with the locking feature disengaged.
The AAIB report adds that the airworthiness concern was not considered an unsafe condition that would warrant an airworthiness directive (AD) by the FAA. Air India did not conduct the suggested inspections as the SAIB was advisory and not mandatory

The crash presents a significant challenge to the Tata Group as it strives to enhance Air India&#8217;s reputation. The report highlighted the activation of a backup energy source, indicating engine power loss.
Cockpit voice recordings revealed a pilot questioning the fuel cutoff, with the other denying any action.
Commanding pilot Sumeet Sabharwal and co-pilot Clive Kunder were experienced, with 15,638 and 3,403 flying hours, respectively. The report did not clarify how the switches flipped. U.S. aviation experts noted the improbability of accidental switch movement.
The AAIB leads the investigation, with the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board and Federal Aviation Administration involved.
Why It Matters: The crash has put a spotlight on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45940768/boeings-troubled-2000s-from-a-sweetheart-1-1b-deal-before-deadly-air-india-crash-to-stranding-astronauts-at-iss-and-airline-crashes">Boeing&#8217;s ongoing challenges</a>, as India&#8217;s aviation ministry<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45919464/boeing-faces-fresh-turmoil-as-india-mulls-787-8-grounding-after-fatal-crash-ceo-kelly-cancels-paris-trip-report"> considered grounding the Boeing 787 8 fleet</a>.
The incident had also reignited discussions about Boeing&#8217;s troubled history, including past safety concerns and legal issues.
The investigation faced controversy when <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/46133937/boeing-787-dreamliner-crash-india-shuts-door-on-un-aviation-expert-probing-plane-accident">India denied a UN Aviation investigator</a> the opportunity to join the probe.

Air India's Boeing 787 Crashed Because Of This Known Issue That FAA Flagged Years Ago: '...Fuel Supply To The Engines Was Cut Off'

Dave Ramsey has heard it all over the years, but one recent call on &#8220;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oijVVXJ0aKg">The Ramsey Show</a>&#8221; caught him completely off guard. What started as a routine budgeting question turned into a tense exchange that left both Ramsey and co-host George Kamel visibly shaken.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Budgeting Strains And A Life-Altering Diagnosis</h2>
The caller explained that he and his wife had <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-create-a-budget">started budgeting</a> and were working toward <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/07/46200580/kevin-oleary-says-if-you-got-a-bonus-dont-blow-it-pay-off-your-debt-kill-your-credit-cards-and-chase-freedom-by-living-debt-free">becoming debt-free</a> in 12 to 18 months. But arguments kept coming up whenever they discussed the budget.
&#8220;Mostly because she feels like I just make the budget and then go over it with her,&#8221; he said. &#8220;She always feels like I just make it and don't give her any input.&#8221;
Don't Miss:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Warren Buffett once said, "If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die."<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/warren-buffet-make-money-when-you-sleep"> Here&#8217;s how you can earn passive income with just $10.</a></li>

</ul>
Ramsey quickly identified the classic &#8220;nerd vs. free spirit&#8221; dynamic. &#8220;You're like me—you're the nerd in the house and she's the free spirit,&#8221; he said. Ramsey explained that for a budget to work as a team effort, the so-called &#8220;free spirit&#8221; must be allowed to make changes. &#8220;Otherwise, it's not our budget. It's your budget.&#8221;
At first, the discussion seemed lighthearted. But when the caller mentioned that his wife had stage 4 cancer and he still expected her to help by delivering for Uber Eats a few times a week, the tone shifted.
&#8220;Whoa. Let's not bury the lede here,&#8221; Kamel said, stunned. &#8220;She's going through something&#8230; Bless her heart,&#8221; Ramsey added.
The caller tried to justify the request, saying, &#8220;She is stable and so she could go out and she&#8217;s on disability, so she could you know&#8230;&#8221; explaining that he just needed a little help to speed up their debt-free timeline. But Ramsey didn't hold back.&#8221;I absolutely apologize to your wife for calling her a whiner in stage 4 cancer,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And I have discovered that now you are the whiner.&#8221;
Trending: BlackRock is calling 2025 the year of alternative assets. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/masterworks">One firm from NYC has quietly built a group of 60,000+ investors who have all joined in on an alt asset class previously exclusive to billionaires like Bezos and Gates.</a>
Ramsey then called out the caller's lack of empathy. &#8220;She went and helped her sister, and now she's too exhausted with her stage 4 cancer. Bless her heart. Oh my God, man. No wonder she doesn't want to talk to you.&#8221;
He urged the man to reframe his approach: &#8220;You just say, &#8216;All right honey, I want to make sure more than anything we take care of you. Given that, this is how much money we have. How do you want to spend the money?'&#8221;
Kamel emphasized that becoming debt-free should not come at the expense of compassion or emotional connection. &#8220;If Uber Eats is delayed by six months because she can't go do a few hours a week, that's okay. We'll move at a slower pace.&#8221;
In reflecting on the call, Kamel reminded listeners that unity in budgeting comes from mutual care, not control. &#8220;You're never going to get to unity through apathy.&#8221;
