New orders for US-manufactured goods unexpectedly dropped by 0.5% in May, following a 0.4% increase in April, according to the Commerce Department's Census Bureau. Economists had predicted a 0.2% gain. The decline is attributed to weakened business spending on equipment amidst higher interest rates and softening demand for goods, with machinery orders falling by 0.5% and a decrease in orders for electrical equipment, appliances, components, and primary metals. This decline in factory orders reflects a broader trend of manufacturers displaying reluctance to invest in capital and inventory due to current monetary policy and economic conditions.

The 'Grey Wolves' hand gesture is linked to the far-right 'Grey Wolves' movement in Turkey, known for its racist ideology advocating for the superiority of the Turkic race and discrimination against other races. The movement, founded in the 1960s and considered as a branch of the extreme nationalist Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), has a history of political assassinations targeting Kurds, Alevi Muslims, socialists, and union members.

Jessica Calarco, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, discusses her book 'Holding It Together: How Women Became America’s Safety Net,' explaining how American women have historically filled the gaps in social safety net programs, bearing the brunt of caregiving responsibilities due to inadequate government support. Women disproportionately hold underpaid jobs and provide unpaid caregiving work, which has detrimental effects on their well-being and economic parity. The pandemic exacerbated these challenges, highlighting the impact on women, especially mothers, who faced balancing work and caregiving responsibilities during remote work. Women faced penalties for utilizing remote work options, leading to lower opportunities for promotion and being seen as less committed compared to men taking similar opportunities.
