Justice Department Opens Antitrust Probe Into Egg Price Spike
The US Justice Department has opened a preliminary probe into a recent surge in egg prices across the country, according to a person familiar with the investigation.
The investigation, which is being conducted by the department's civil antitrust enforcers, focuses on whether companies including Cal-Maine Foods Inc. and Rose Acre Farms Inc. have colluded to boost prices or limit supply, said the person, who asked not to be identified discussing a confidential probe.

Inside Mark Zuckerberg's AI hiring spree
AI researchers have recently been asking themselves a version of the question, 'Is that really Zuck? ' As first reported by Bloomberg, the Meta CEO has been personally asking top AI talent to join his new 'superintelligence' AI lab and reboot Llama. His recruiting process typically goes like this: a cold outreach via email or WhatsApp that cites the recruit's work history and requests a 15-minute chat. Dozens of researchers have gotten these kinds of messages at Google alone. For those who do agree to hear his pitch (amazingly, not all of them do), Zuckerberg highlights the latitude they'll have to make risky bets, the scale of Meta's products, and the money he's prepared to invest in the infrastructure to support them. He makes clear that this new team will be empowered and sit with him at Meta's headquarters, where I'm told the desks have already been rearranged for the incoming team. Most of the headlines so far have focused on the eye-popping compensation packages Zuckerberg is offering, some of which are well into the eight-figure range. As I've covered before, hiring the best AI researcher is like hiring a star basketball player: there are very few of them, and you have to pay up. Case in point: Zuckerberg basically just paid 14 Instagrams to hire away Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang.

Trump clears path for Nippon Steel investment in US Steel, so long as it fits the government's terms
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Friday signed an executive order paving the way for a Nippon Steel investment in U.S. Steel , so long as the Japanese company complies with a 'national security agreement' submitted by the federal government. Trump's order didn't detail the terms of the national security agreement. But U.S. Steel and Nippon Steel said in a joint statement that the agreement stipulates that approximately $11 billion in new investments will be made by 2028 and includes giving the U.S. government a 'golden share' — essentially veto power to ensure the country's national security interests are protected.

Giant Eagle releases another list of stores taking over Rite Aid prescriptions
Rite Aid customers want to know next steps as Giant Eagle takes over some prescriptions Rite Aid customers want to know next steps as Giant Eagle takes over some prescriptions Rite Aid customers want to know next steps as Giant Eagle takes over some prescriptions Giant Eagle has released another list of locations that will take over prescriptions from closing Rite Aid stores. Giant Eagle in May announced that it will take customer prescriptions from nearly 80 Rite Aid locations, which are closing after the drugstore chain filed for bankruptcy again. The plan was to roll the information out in "waves," with the first and second already announced. On Friday, Giant Eagle released the names of 21 additional Rite Aid locations that will have their prescriptions transferred to Giant Eagle pharmacies. The changes will take effect later this month. Giant Eagle said prescriptions will automatically be sent to the closest stores, and Rite Aid customers will be told about the change. Rite Aid customers who want to go to a different Giant Eagle location can. Customers who don't want to use Giant Eagle can transfer to another retailer, either before the effective transfer date through Rite Aid or after through Giant Eagle. "Their prescription information that they house in those stores, due to regulatory reasons, has to have another designated home," Giant Eagle spokesperson Jannah Drexler explained in May.
