Debt Soars, Apple Lags, and Walmart Boosts Workers: Top News

Walmart recently announced promotions and significant pay raises for 3,000 of its pharmacy workers across nearly 4,600 U.S. locations, offering some employees an 86% increase in wages, according to Fortune. The move comes during a week of major layoff announcements from companies like Amazon, UPS, Pinterest, and Nike.

The promoted employees will take on pharmacy operations team lead positions, earning an average of $28 per hour, with the potential to reach $42 per hour. Pharmacy technicians will now make an average of $22 per hour, with the possibility of earning up to $40.50 per hour.

Notably, these positions do not require a college degree. This is particularly encouraging, according to Fortune, as younger generations increasingly question the return on investment of higher education.

The announcement from Walmart stands in contrast to recent news of job cuts in other major companies. Amazon, UPS, Pinterest, and Nike all announced major layoffs this past week, leaving many American workers facing uncertainty.

Trump Sues IRS, Threatens Tariffs, as Gov Declares Disaster

Drawing from multiple news sources, President Trump, along with his sons and the Trump Organization, is suing the IRS and Treasury Department for at least $10 billion, alleging that their negligence led to the unlawful leak of his tax returns to media outlets in 2020 by an IRS contractor, Charles Littlejohn, who was sentenced to five years in prison for the crime. The lawsuit claims reputational and financial harm due to the disclosure of tax information, which revealed instances of minimal tax payments and fueled scrutiny of Trump's finances, while the Treasury Department has since canceled contracts with the consulting firm that employed Littlejohn.

Multiple news sources, including Israeli media citing a senior security source, report that the Israeli military largely accepts the Hamas-run health ministry's figure of over 70,000 Palestinian deaths in the Gaza war, despite previous Israeli skepticism and ongoing disputes about combatant versus civilian casualties.
