House Democrat suggests he’ll pull retirement after court blocks Texas plan redrawing district
The Texas Democrat said a recent court ruling blocking the political maps that were signed into law by Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) over the summer was responsible for his political resurrection. The state is appealing the decision to the Supreme Court. “A U. S. district court order means that I have a renewed opportunity to continue serving the only town I have ever called home, as democracy faces greater challenges than at any point in my lifetime,” Doggett said. “While this decision, led by a [President Donald] Trump-appointed judge, will be appealed, I am hopeful about the final outcome to stop this illegal, racial gerrymander.” Doggett had previously indicated he would retire back in August, when state Republicans won their battle to pass a map that merged Rep. Greg Casar’s (D-TX) and Doggett’s districts. Facing a likely primary challenge from Casar, Doggett said he would step aside, explaining, “I prefer to devote the coming months to fighting Trump tyranny and serving Austin rather than waging a struggle with fellow Democrats.” While Doggett sounded an optimistic note this week, his future remains uncertain. DOJ CHALLENGES CALIFORNIA’S PROP 50 MAP IN ESCALATING FIGHT OVER HOUSE MAJORITY Texas is taking the redistricting case to the Supreme Court, after a federal judge ruled Tuesday that the new political maps were an unlawful racial gerrymander.

Quarterly profit slide at Target hints at a challenging holiday season for the retailer
By ANNE D’INNOCENZIO NEW YORK (AP) Target’s third-quarter profit tumbled as the retailer struggles to lure shoppers that are being pressed by stubbornly high inflation. The Minneapolis company said Wednesday that it expects its sales slump to extend through the critical holiday shopping season. The company also announced that it’s planning to invest another billion dollars next year to remodel stores, build new ones, increasing the total cost for the makeover to $5 billion. Investors have punished Target’s stock recently, sending it down 43% over the past year. Shares were essentially flat in early trading Wednesday. Turning around the 19% profit slide in the most recent quarter is the latest challenge for incoming CEO Michael Fiddelke, a 20-year company veteran who is replacing CEO Brian Cornell in February. The handover arrives as the retailer tries to reverse a persistent sales malaise and to revive its reputation as the place to go for affordable but stylish products. Comparable sales those from established physical stores and online channels dipped 2. 7% in its latest three-month period. That’s worse then the 1. 9% drop in the previous quarter and the third straight quarterly decline. Target’s troubles stand in stark contrast to rival Walmart, the nation’s largest retailer, which is thriving. Walmart reports on its most recent quarterly performance Thursday. Target announced in October that it was eliminating about 1, 800 corporate positions to streamline decision-making and accelerate company initiatives. The cuts represent about 8% of Target’s corporate workforce. To pump up sales, Target is offering more than 20, 000 new items, twice as many as last year, and it has lowered prices on thousands of groceries and other essential items. “The environment around us continues to evolve, whether it’s shifting consumer demand, changing competitor dynamics, or broader macroeconomic pressures,” Fiddelke said on an earnings call Wednesday. ”But let me be clear. We are not waiting for conditions to improve. We are driving the change ourselves right now.” With about 1, 980 U. S. stores, Target has struggled to find its footing since inflation caused Americans to curtail much of their discretionary spending. At the same time, Target customers have complained of messy stores lacking the budget-priced niche that long ago earned the retailer the nickname “Tarzhay.” Consumer boycotts since late January, when Target joined rival Walmart and a number of other prominent American brands in scaling back its corporate diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, have compounded the predicament. Other, more recent macro headwinds, are buffeting the entire retail sector. For almost a year, retailers have struggled to navigate President Donald Trump’s wide-ranging tariffs on imports and his immigration crackdown that threatened to shrink the supply of workers available to U. S. companies. The just ended 43-day federal shutdown is expected to be another drag on an economy. Government contract awards have slowed and many food aid recipients have seen their benefits interrupted, both of which can cut into consumer spending at places like Target. Fiddelke told reporters that the company saw a weaker September but he said it was “tricky for us to isolate” the different factors behind that. The retailer’s profit fell to $689 million in the three-month period ended Nov. 1, or $1. 51 per share. Adjusted per share results added up to $1. 78. That is better than the $1. 71 that Wall Street was expecting, according to a poll by FactSet, but below the $1. 85 per share the company earned in the same period last year. Sales fell 1. 5% to $25. 27 billion, just shy of analyst projections. Sales gains in food and beverages were offset by continued weakness in discretionary goods, with anxious shoppers focused increasingly on buying essentials, even during the holidays. For example, customers this year customers bought candy and costumes for Halloween, but spent less on decorations, said Rick Gomez, chief commercial officer for Target. Gomez thinks they will make similar tradeoffs during the winter holiday season. “We think the consumer will prioritize what goes under the tree versus what goes on the tree,” he said. Target also announced a partnership with OpenAI on Wednesday that will let users browse Target items through the tech company’s app ChatGPT. When customers are ready to buy, they’ll be directed to the Target app. For the fourth quarter, Target expects that comparable sales will decline by low single digits. For the full year, it now expects earnings per share to be in the $7 per share to $8 per share range, down from its earlier forecast of $7 to $9.

James Gunn Responds to Complaint After DC Movie Hits Netflix
James Gunn has responded to a streaming-related complaint after a DC movie has now been made available to watch on Netflix. Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU kicked off at DC Studios and Warner Bros. Pictures in December 2024 with the animated Creature Commandos series. That was followed by Superman and Peacemaker Season 2 in 2025, while Lanterns, Supergirl, and Clayface are all scheduled to arrive in 2026. Recently, Netflix made 2023’s Blue Beetle available to watch on the streaming platform. The film was originally intended to be part of the now-defunct DCEU; however, Gunn has stated that Xolo Maridueña’s Jaime Reyes/Blue Beetle character will continue in the DCU. An animated DCU Blue Beetle series is now in development. What did James Gunn say about the DCU and streaming? On Threads, Gunn was asked why Blue Beetle is available to watch on Netflix when other DCEU and DCU movies are not. Specifically, the question asks why all DC titles can’t just be kept to one streaming service in order to avoid confusion. Gunn responded, “Creature Commandos and Peacemaker are on the same streaming service, HBOMax. And Blue Beetle is there too. But now people who only have Netflix can watch it as well.” Blue Beetle received generally positive reviews from critics, though it underperformed at the box office, as it only made $130. 8 million globally. The cast of the movie also includes Adriana Barraza as Nana, Damián Alcázar as Alberto Reyes, Elpidia Carrillo as Rocio Reyes, Bruna Marquezine as Jenny Kord, Raoul Max Trujillo as OMAC, Susan Sarandon as Victoria Kord, George Lopez as Rudy Reyes, Belissa Escobedo as Milagro Reyes, and Harvey Guillén as Dr. Sanchez. “Jaime Reyes suddenly finds himself in possession of an ancient relic of alien biotechnology called the Scarab,” a description of the film reads. “When the Scarab chooses Jaime to be its symbiotic host, he’s bestowed with an incredible suit of armor that’s capable of extraordinary and unpredictable powers, forever changing his destiny as he becomes the superhero Blue Beetle.”.

BlackRock Moves $815M in BTC and ETH amid ETF Outflows
BlackRock has moved nearly $1 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum to Coinbase while the crypto ETF markets for these two assets face heavy outflows. The large transfers were captured on Arkham Intelligence, showing coordinated flows from BlackRock’s ETF-linked wallets into Coinbase Prime across two consecutive days. BlackRock’s BTC and ETH Transfers Exceed $1 Billion The latest deposits included 6, 735 BTC and 64, 706 ETH, representing one of BlackRock’s biggest on-chain moves this month. These transfers followed another round of activity from the previous day, when 3, 064 BTC and 64, 707 ETH (totaling almost $500 million) were deposited into Coinbase. Together, the two-day total crossed $1 billion, highlighting aggressive fund movement across BlackRock’s spot ETF products. It also means that it is the third successive day the firm would be making these transfers. On Monday, BlackRock deposited BTC and ETH worth millions into Coinbase. All assets were sent to Coinbase Prime since it is BlackRock’s core settlement and execution platform for its spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Record Significant Outflows This activity comes during a tough period for ETF flows. According to SoSoValue data, U. S. Bitcoin Spot ETFs recorded a net outflow of about $373 million. The biggest withdrawals were from BlackRock’s IBIT, with over $523 million, in one day. Other issuers reported mixed results, but none matched the scale of BlackRock’s outflows. According to ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, this outflow was IBIT’s worst day. He further said that Bitcoin ETFs now have up to $13. 3 billion total outflows in the last month. This amount represents 3. 5% of their total assets under management. However, he emphasized that IBIT continues to dominate the industry with $25 billion year-to-date inflows, making it to rank sixth among all ETFs. Ethereum ETFs also struggled. BlackRock remains the most popular provider of ETFs despite experiencing outflows. IBIT is its most lucrative ETF and ETHA is the top Ethereum product among other Ether ETFs. These movements indicate how liquidity can shift quickly as institutional funds make moves in the markets. Macro Uncertainty Weighs on Crypto The timing is notable. Bitcoin is still experiencing pressure following recent losses, and Ethereum is still experiencing poor liquidity. There has also been a weakness in sentiment in the broader markets. The crypto market is currently facing macro uncertainty before the release of Nvidia’s report earnings, FOMC minutes, and America’s employment statistics. Despite the outflows, the large Coinbase deposits do not imply direct selling. The asset manager may be preparing the cryptocurrencies for ETF creation, redemption, or internal liquidity adjustments.

BBC Shetland star pays sweet tribute to ‘incredible’ on-screen wife as she joins cast
Shetland will be back tonight as Tosh and Ruth continue to work on their latest case Shetland star Lewis Holden, who plays Billy McCabe in the BBC series, has paid tribute to his on-screen wife, who has joined the cast this series. Billy has taken on a more central role in the storyline, and for the first time, he was able to shoot scenes away from the police station. This series marks the first time the case touches on Billy’s personal life. His wife, Morag, had previously worked with the victim, Eadie Tulloch, in the Shetland social services department. While Eadie’s late husband Robert was once Billy’s sergeant in the police. The Tullochs were mentors and friends to the McCabes, so Eadie’s death will be very difficult for them. Particularly when the spotlight of the investigation unearths difficult questions. While fans were thrilled to see the beloved character have a main storyline, the actor has opened up about what it was like to play after Billy’s wife, Morag, was also welcomed to the cast. Lewis began, “This series, we finally get to meet Mrs McCabe, Billy’s wife, Morag. She’s fab! It was great having Leigh Biagi on set and exploring the personal life of Billy away from the station. “Billy and Morag have been together for some time now. They have a great wee house, that is to die for, with just seals and seabirds for neighbours. They are living the ‘Good Life’ and are very happy, but trouble is brewing.” Paying tribute to his on-screen wife, the actor went on, “Having Leigh playing Morag has been incredible. We didn’t know each other before this series, but we hit it off right away. I think we look like a longstanding couple! “We’re always so fortunate to have such a wonderful guest cast. Year after year, they are always brilliant.” The synopsis for tonight’s episode reads, “Chris and Hayley’s attempts to pay off their spiralling debts go violently wrong, with a Lunniswick local getting caught in the middle. “Calder and Tosh question Stevie only to face the wrath of Amy as she grows more protective. Isobel worries as she tries to hold her family together, a pregnant Jess sneaks out to meet a mysterious friend, and a weary Tom is forced to make some tough sacrifices. Sandy makes steady progress into Eadie’s finances, leading him to a troubling conclusion.”.
