When women riders and drivers told us they wanted more control over how they ride and earn, we listened. That feedback led to Women Preferences, features designed to give women the choice to ride with other women. Since our first pilots last summer, we’ve heard just how much that choice matters—from feeling more comfortable in the back seat to more confident behind the wheel.

Her name isn't on the ballot. She no longer serves in Congress. But Marjorie Taylor Greene is looming large in the minds of north-west Georgia voters as they prepare to choose who to replace her with in Washington.

Known for her hard-line Christian conservative views, brash committee appearances, and embrace of multiple conspiracy theories, Greene quickly became one of the most prominent Republican members of Congress after winning her seat in 2020.

"She did some stuff off the wall," said Justin Leonard, 28-year-old firefighter in Georgia's 14th congressional district, who voted for Greene twice. "Kind of making conservatives look a little right-wing and a little like nut jobs. But other than that, I think she did her job."

But when Greene broke her unwavering support for US President Donald Trump late last year, the pair's rift descended into a very public feud that ultimately led to her decision to quit Congress in January.

Defense contractor KVG LLC was awarded a government contract worth at least $113.1 million Friday to retrofit a warehouse in the Williamsport area of Maryland and provide services to run it as a detention center, according to federal spending records.

Security contractor GardaWorld Federal Services LLC was awarded its own contract worth at least $313.4 million Friday to renovate a warehouse in Surprise, Arizona, and provide services for the operation of the ICE facility, records show.

Geo Group spokesman Chris Ferreira told The Washington Post the company will continue to provide services “that help the federal government meet its goal of increasing overall detention capacity.”

CoreCivic told The Independent the ICE detention center renovations in Maryland and Arizona are “not projects that we pursued.”

“CoreCivic isn’t a company whose business model is under threat — we’re a company whose expertise has never been more essential,” CoreCivic spokesman Steve Owen told The Washington Post. "The idea that companies with no track record in this industry can replicate the decades of operational experience, compliance infrastructure and facility management capability we have defies common sense.”

The Department of Homeland Security declined to comment on the newly awarded contracts, but told the publication, “ICE has new funding to expand detention space to keep these criminals off American streets before they are removed for good from our communities.”

When the nation’s labor secretary flubs arithmetic while struggling to defend poor employment data, there’s a problem.

In mid-February, as Donald Trump’s State of the Union address neared, Peter Navarro, a leading White House voice on trade and economic policy, told Fox News that the U.S. economy was “perfect.” A week later, during JD Vance’s latest Fox News appearance, the vice president celebrated the “Trump boom” in the economy.

Soon after, the American public learned that economic growth during the first year of the president’s second term reached a nine-year low (excluding the pandemic). Late last week, the latest job numbers were even worse: The U.S. economy lost 90,000 jobs in February, and the unemployment rate inched higher.

Indeed, the closer one looked at the data, the worse the figures appeared. Trump has been in the White House for 14 months, and during that time the cumulative total is 150,000 jobs. In the last 14 months of Joe Biden’s presidency, by contrast, the American economy added 1.74 million jobs.

Europe’s largest automaker, Volkswagen, is to shed 50,000 jobs by the end of the decade, as it faces falling sales in China and North America and punitive US tariffs imposed by Donald Trump.

The 10-brand group, whose luxury subsidiaries Porsche and Audi are also under pressure, said the jobs would go in Germany, affecting the entire group, as part of a restructuring drive in light of the darkening global business climate.

The group had already struck a deal with German trade unions at the end of 2024 to slash 35,000 jobs by 2030, in part by natural attrition through retirement and other staff departures.

The pipeline of new drugs to fight superbugs remains “worryingly thin” and has shrunk by 35% in the last five years, experts have warned, predicting the annual number of deaths linked to drug-resistant infections globally will double to 8 million by 2050.

The number of projects from large pharma companies has shrunk by 35% over the past five years, from 92 to 60 medicines in development, according to a report from the Access to Medicine Foundation (AMF), a Netherlands-based non-profit group, and the Wellcome Trust.

“Overall, however, the R&D pipeline remains worryingly thin, and industry investment has lost momentum,” said Jayasree K Iyer, the chief executive of AMF. She described drug resistance as the biggest single threat to healthcare worldwide.

More than 1 million people die each year directly from drug resistant infections but they contribute to 4 million deaths worldwide a year. Both figures are forecast to double by 2050 – to nearly 2 million and more than 8 million respectively.
