Meta is the latest tech giant to land in her courtroom. Meet Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers

Image
It's been a crazy four months for Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers. The judge in the Northern District of California spent late April and much of May in her downtown Oakland courtroom, overseeing the high-profile battle between Elon Musk and Sam Altman . Now, the 61-year-old Gonzalez Rogers is gearing up for week two of a trial that could go a long way in determining the fate of Meta's advertising business, as California Attorney General Rob Bonta leads a coalition of state AGs in litigating what's being hailed as social media's "Big Tobacco moment ." In between the two trials, Gonzalez Rogers was named chief judge of the court, 15 years after being nominated to serve there by then- President Barack Obama . She replaced Judge Richard Seeborg, who held the role for five years, and takes over at a time when tech companies are bigger and more powerful than ever and artificial intelligence is driving more high-stakes fights into the courtroom. The district includes San Fra...

Treasury Picks The Stocks America’s Kids Will Own

Treasury Picks The Stocks America’s Kids Will Own Mitchell Duran Thu, August 20, 2026 at 2:19 PM PDT 3 min read SPYM Treasury Picks The Stocks America's Kids Will Own - Moby THE GIST Our analysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here. The Treasury Department on Thursday announced new guidance for its "Trump Accounts," which seeks to give American children tax-advantaged long term savings. It picked a group of low-cost index funds that the federal government says will help keep more money in the account holders' pockets. WHAT HAPPENED Trump Accounts are basically IRAs for kids under 18. The tax-advantaged accounts are funded through a few distinct avenues: a one-time, tax-free $1,000 federal seed grant; up to $5,000 annually from parents, family, and friends; employer contributions capped at $2,500 tax-free per year; and qualified private donors. A child can have an account opened on their behalf at any age from birth up until they turn 18. So who's getting the contributions? In July, the Treasury Department announced the State Street SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 ETF (SPYM) would be the go-to default for all Trump Accounts. This is what Treasury meant by focusing on "keeping costs low, promoting broad diversification," and "helping children's savings grow over the long term." Treasury also included four additional low-cost index ETFs as well: the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF from BlackRock (IVV), the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF from Vanguard (VTI), the SPDR Portfolio S&P 1500 Composite Stock Market ETF (SPTM), and the iShares Core U.S. Aggregate Stock Market ETF (ITOT). All of them have a low expense ratio (an annual fee charged by the fund manager) of 0.02% 0.03%, meaning your investment returns can compound over time across anywhere from 500 to 2,500 holdings. WHY IT MATTERS One stock. Nvidia-level potential. 30M+ investors trust Moby to find it first. Get the pick. Tap here. Treasury is making it clear with the new guidance that they'll be "limiting" Trump Accounts to only "choices with low expense ratios" and "excluding products with excessive fees or unnecessarily complex strategies." By emphasizing straightforward, low-cost investment options, they say children will be able to benefit "more fully" from decades of compound growth, and ensure that more of that is kept in their pockets rather than to pay down fees. It's essentially a bet on diversification, rather than consolidating all that Trump Account money into a single sector. And there's a lot on the line. The Congressional Budget Office projects annual U.S. births to hover around 3.3 million to 3.6 million over the next 20 years. When the federal government stops contributing to Trump Accounts, on December 31, 2028, at $1,000 per child, that comes to approximately $13.8 billion, assuming the parent or guardian elects to receive the federal contribution. Story Continues Given SPYM's 0.02% annual fee, that could translate into anywhere from $5.5 million to $11 million...
