Breakingviews - BHP’s new Anglo fail is dud swan song for CEO
The $132 bln miner ditched a new offer for its $42 bln rival, 18 months after its first effort failed. CEO Mike Henry had grounds to bid for Anglo American again but seems to have once more misread the situation. His legacy is likely to include failure to bag a big M&A prize.

More Evidence Submitted to Dismiss the Charges Against Kilmar Abrego
Friday night, we learned that the DOJ lied about the door being closed to Costa Rica. Mr. Abrego's lawyers feel that's enough to immediately dismiss on vindictive and selective prosecution grounds.

Trump officials, including the head of OPM, are saying DOGE no longer exists. DOGE as influential entity seems to be done, but some DOGErs are in the National Design Studio and some burrowed into agencies e.g. Big Balls is at Social Security.
