Blackout

The Texas grid came four minutes from total collapse. And the Department of Energy is now warning of a 100-fold increase in blackouts.
 

Dear Reader,

The Texas grid came four minutes from total collapse. And the Department of Energy is now warning of a 100-fold increase in blackouts.

But instead of reading these headlines and feeling helpless...

This hedge-fund legend says he is now lining up what could be his "THIRD $100 Million Trade."

In fact, Gabe Marshank who has been trusted by some of the world's most powerful people to manage their money banked $100 million in profits during the past TWO energy crises.

And yet, he's convinced this rapidly moving story is even bigger...

Provided you move your money here immediately.

If you're like most Americans, it feels like this AI energy story is something you have no control over. Something Big Tech has thrust upon you that spiked your energy bills by 31% since 2020.

Gabe Marshank says nothing could be further from the truth.

He says that this ravenous AI power demand is creating a once-in-a-generation trade. Because either the price goes up on certain stocks or the lights go out.

I've spent 50 years on Wall Street building tools to find where the smart money moves before most investors realize what's happening. And I've spoken about this story with you in the past.

Look...

This isn't just another stock market story.

If you pay an electric bill, you're already personally involved in this story, whether you like it or not.

But unless you already own some of these stocks, chances are you are on the losing side of it.

Gabe says this alert could literally prove the difference between you and your family losing tens of thousands of dollars over the years ahead... or potentially making the biggest financial gains of your life.

Either way, he says you cannot sit this one out.

To get you up to speed, Gabe laid out exactly what's happening, what to expect when a June 1 trigger hits, and the urgent money move he's urging every American to make right now.

Since Gabe works with our corporate affiliate Stansberry Research, this urgent broadcast is 100% free for you to watch.

Article Icon 1NC Schools Probe Statewide Cyberattack

The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) is investigating a cyberattack affecting the Canvas learning management system, which serves millions of students and staff statewide for assignments, grades, and classroom communications.

The breach occurred April 25-29. Instructure, which runs the Canvas platform, disclosed it to NCDPI. Wake, Charlotte-Mecklenburg, and New Hanover County schools confirmed student and employee data may have been accessed, but stressed there is no evidence of compromised passwords, dates of birth, government IDs, financial information, or internal district networks.

Districts are coordinating with NCDPI and Instructure, which says it has contained the issue. Canvas remains operational as the probe continues. The incident marks the second such breach in two years. In 2024, a PowerSchool data breach prompted the switch to a new system.

Article Icon 1NC Sanctions Girls Flag Football, Boys Volleyball

The North Carolina High School Athletic Association (NCHSAA) Board of Directors voted on Wednesday to officially sanction girls flag football and boys volleyball as championship sports.

Both sports have grown in popularity at member schools in recent years, but previously operated outside formal NCHSAA governance.

Girls flag football will launch in the fall of 2026, with state championships at the end of the season under National Federation of State High School Associations rules. Boys volleyball will begin in the spring of 2027, with its first NCHSAA championship scheduled for May.

The Carolina Panthers helped expand the sport to more than 150 schools. Owners David and Nicole Tepper announced that their foundation will commit an additional $1 million to support the sport’s growth in both North and South Carolina, bringing their total investment to $2.5 million.

Article Icon 1Campaign Aims for ABC System Overhaul

A new “Free Our Spirits” campaign launched this week, seeking major reforms to North Carolina’s long-standing Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) system.

Backed by business leaders, advocates, and community members, the initiative calls for the General Assembly to modernize liquor laws originally designed in the 1930s, expanding consumer choice and convenience. It centers on allowing spirits sales beyond the state-controlled ABC store network, which already occurs in 32 other states.

Supporters also aim to lower the state's liquor taxes (the nation's second-highest), improve distribution to restaurants, consolidate the 171 local ABC boards, increase transparency, and preserve revenue for local governments.

Senate Bill 938, filed by state Sen. Jim Burgin, R-Harnett, would transition alcohol sales to private retailers and phase out government-run stores between 2028 and 2029. The legislation is currently in the Rules and Operations of the Senate committee.
