  Fed Hikes Rates, Market Reacts | Durham News

  Sep 18, 20262 min

  The Fed just raised rates by a quarter point — its first move in three years — sending shockwaves through markets and signaling it’s serious about taming stubborn inflation. Borrowing costs are climbing, stocks are under pressure, and Wall Street’s Jim Cramer is warning investors not to fight the Fed. With more hikes likely on the horizon, the message is clear: be cautious, stay selective, and wait for signs inflation is truly cooling before diving back in.

  Balkcom's Energy Ties Under Fire | Durham News

  Sep 18, 20262 min

  A new ad slams Republican Rep. Jennifer Balkcom, accusing her of accepting $5K+ from Duke Energy and voting to benefit big energy interests — including a controversial bill that let Duke charge customers for unused power plants, despite Governor Stein’s veto. While Balkcom’s campaign calls the ad false and paints her opponent as hypocritical, voters are left weighing her corporate ties against policy moves like repealing a data center tax break — a move expected to save the state $21 million. As election day nears, the race hinges on who Balkcom really serves: her constituents or the energy lobby. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

  Mental Health Crisis Ends in Shooting | Durham News

  Sep 18, 20262 min

  A deputy’s fatal shooting of Antony Richardson in January has been ruled justified by the district attorney, clearing the officer of charges. Despite Richardson’s history of mental illness and PTSD, investigators found he ignored 40 commands to drop his weapon and moved toward deputies while still holding a firearm. His wife had called 911 seeking help for his crisis, but the DA concluded the threat was imminent. Family advocates now push for better protocols to handle armed mental health emergencies without resorting to lethal force.

  Ellison’s Hollywood Exit Deadline | Durham News

  Sep 18, 20262 min

  Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison is threatening to relocate his studio out of California unless a blockbuster merger deal with Warner Bros. Discovery clears regulatory hurdles by October 14th — or risk becoming Hollywood’s most dramatic exodus story. The proposed merger, which could reshape the entertainment industry, has triggered a lawsuit from California Attorney General Rob Bonta over antitrust concerns. Ellison faces pressure not just from regulators but also from Paramount’s shaky finances, forcing him to negotiate concessions like asset sales — or pack up and move to Texas, Tennessee, or Georgia. The clock is ticking, and the outcome could redefine Hollywood’s future. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
