The apartment megamerger that shows landlords are in trouble msn.com/en-us/money/realesta… Developers’ margins have been squeezed by the rising prices of materials, labor and insurance. At the same time, apartment rents have been flat or declining. That is mostly because of the historic oversupply of new apartments in the Sunbelt and Mountain West that has made it difficult for landlords to raise rents. Landlords are itching for the moment when supply ebbs and they can increase rents again. That is unlikely to come soon. Roughly 480,000 apartments will come online this year and about 450,000 more a year will be delivered in the years to come, according to real-estate data firm Yardi Matrix.

Late-night comedian Stephen Colbert has ended his 11-year run as host of The Late Show on CBS. His program’s cancellation removes one of President Trump’s most vocal critics from the airwaves and comes after the comedian criticized his own employer for agreeing to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit brought by President Trump. The settlement came as CBS parent company Paramount was seeking the Trump administration’s approval for a merger with Skydance, which the Trump administration approved just one week after CBS announced Colbert’s ouster. Meanwhile, Paramount Skydance is seeking another megamerger with Warner Bros. Discovery, which would further concentrate media control in the hands of the billionaire Ellison family that has a long history of supporting Trump. “We see this over and over again, where the Trump administration is weaponizing its power over mergers to try to get what it wants in the media space,” says David Sirota, editor-in-chief of The Lever and host of the Master Plan podcast. democracynow.org/2026/5/22/l…

Two energy stories in one day: a NextEra-Dominion megamerger driven by data center demand, and a forecast that AI infrastructure will keep fossil fuels alive past solar's ascent. The clean energy transition is real. AI is also the biggest threat to its timeline. Both things are true.
