Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) has once again urged Americans to demand a shorter work week, now that AI technologies are boosting productivity across sectors.  
What Happened: In a recent X post, Sanders wrote: "With the explosion of AI, new technology and increased worker productivity, we should demand a shorter work week, increased life expectancy and a decent standard of living for all. The benefits of AI must go to working families, not just high-tech CEOs."

This post came after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45884340/ai-is-a-big-deal-says-bernie-sanders-wants-ai-productivity-gains-to-benefit-workers-not-just-wealthy-wall-street-shareholders">another post he made earlier this month</a>, referring to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45905624/nvidia-ceo-jensen-huang-claps-back-at-anthropics-dario-amodei-says-i-pretty-much-disagree-with-almost-everything-he-said-about-ai-wiping-out-jobs">Anthropic&nbsp;CEO&nbsp;Dario Amodei's&nbsp;prediction</a> that AI is likely to eradicate&nbsp;half&nbsp;of all entry-level white-collar jobs, and push unemployment to 10-20% within the coming one to five years.
"The CEO of Anthropic (a powerful AI company) predicts that AI could wipe out HALF of entry-level white collar jobs in the next 5 years. We must demand that increased worker productivity from AI benefits working people, not just wealthy stockholders on Wall St. AI IS A BIG DEAL," Sanders wrote.

Why It Matters: Sanders has repeatedly cautioned against the concentration of AI's benefits in the hands of the elite few. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/04/31801029/bernie-sanders-wants-to-make-sure-ai-works-for-us-and-not-for-billionaires-who-already-control-every">In 2023, he emphasised that technology like AI should be useful to everyone</a>: "It is imperative that we make sure that new technology like artificial intelligence works for us, and not just a few billionaires who already control everything else about our economy,&#8221; he wrote on X.
In April this year, Sanders referred to Elon Musk&#8217;s&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44447947/big-short-investor-danny-moses-warns-of-economic-risks-from-elon-musks-doge-induced-federal-job-cuts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">dismissal of federal workers</a>&nbsp;under the Trump administration&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency, and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44757196/bernie-sanders-warns-the-job-you-have-today-aint-going-to-be-here-in-10-or-15-years-as-ai-and-robotics-threaten-us-workforce">advised the public to consider the AI threat seriously.</a>
&#8220;If Musk can do this to federal employees, what do you think he&#8217;s going to be doing when artificial intelligence and robotics come for your job?&#8221; he asked. &#8220;The job you have today ain&#8217;t going to be here in 10 or 15 years.&#8221;
In his latest post, he highlighted the possibility of shorter work weeks aided by AI, an idea that has been promoted by the likes of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44481583/bill-gates-thinks-you-might-only-work-2-3-days-a-week-thanks-to-ai-but-also-says-legitimately-people-are-like-wow-this-is-a-bit-scary">Microsoft CEO Bill Gates</a> and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45944333/zoom-ceo-eric-yuan-dismisses-work-life-balance-work-is-life-life-is-work-with-one-important-caveat">Zoom CEO Eric Yuan</a>.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk predicted earlier this year that AI would eventually eliminate the need for humans to work at all: "In a benign scenario,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/05/39044740/probably-none-of-us-will-have-a-job-elon-musk-predicts-massive-job-losses-due-to-ai" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">probably none of us will have a job</a>,&#8221; Musk said. &#8220;There will be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45930142/there-will-be-universal-high-income-elon-musk-predicts-with-80-certainty-that-none-of-us-will-have-jobs-but-bill-gates-says-its-too-soon">universal high income</a>. I&#8217;d say there&#8217;s about an 80% chance that AI advances will lead to a situation where humans will not need to work and will have all they need.&#8221;

Bernie Sanders Says AI Boom Must Serve Working Families, Not Billionaires: Calls For Shorter Work Week, Higher Quality Of Life

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk on Monday posted laboratory results showing negative drug test results for over 20 substances, including cocaine, opiates, and cannabinoids. Musk shared the lab report on X with a simple &#8220;lol&#8221; comment.
What Happened: The United States Drug Testing laboratory report, dated June 16 and collected June 11, shows negative results across a comprehensive URINE17 panel. Tested substances included benzodiazepines, amphetamines, ecstasy, barbiturates, cocaine, ketamine, methadone, opiates, PCP, oxycodone, cannabinoids, fentanyl, and ethanol. 
Sample validity tests confirmed normal pH levels at 5.11 and creatinine at 47.16 mg/dL.

The posting comes days after Musk&#8217;s online feud with President Donald Trump. The Washington Post reported on June 8 that Trump has privately called Musk a &#8220;big-time drug addict&#8221; in conversations with allies, marking a significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45829416/trump-allegedly-calling-people-to-claim-elon-musk-has-serious-drug-problem-big-time-drug-addict">deterioration in their previously strong alliance</a>.
Trump&#8217;s private assertions <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/cannabis/25/05/45700477/elon-musk-was-using-drugs-while-on-campaign-trail-with-trump-including-ecstasy-and-psychedelic-mushrooms">followed a May 30 New York Times report</a> alleging Musk consumed ketamine, ecstasy, and psychedelic mushrooms during the 2024 campaign trail. The Times reported Musk told associates he was taking so much ketamine it affected his bladder and he traveled daily with a box containing 20 pills, including Adderall.

Why It Matters: The political fallout intensified after Musk&#8217;s NASA pick, Jared Isaacman, made Democratic donations, reportedly infuriating Trump. Sources told the Post that Trump considered investigating Musk&#8217;s government contracts following Musk&#8217;s criticism of Trump&#8217;s budget bill and social media <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45829416/trump-allegedly-calling-people-to-claim-elon-musk-has-serious-drug-problem-big-time-drug-addict">posts echoing impeachment rhetoric</a>.
Musk has previously acknowledged using prescription ketamine for depression and famously smoked marijuana during a 2018 Joe Rogan podcast appearance, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/25/02/43560520/elon-musk-who-smoked-weed-on-rogans-podcast-calls-federal-drug-testing-a-great-idea">triggered mandatory drug testing</a> for SpaceX employees due to federal contracts.
Price Action: Tesla stock closed at $329.13 on Monday, gaining 1.17% for the day. In pre-market trading on Tuesday, the stock dipped 0.83% to $326.40. Year to date, Tesla shares are down 13.22%, or $50.15.

Elon Musk Claps Back At Trump's 'Big-Time Drug Addict' Jibe, Says He Tested Negative For Over 20 Substances

U.S. stock futures were trading lower on Tuesday following Monday&#8217;s advance. Futures of major benchmark indices were lower in premarket.
President Donald Trump called on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/events/25/06/45964856/trump-asks-everyone-to-immediately-evacuate-tehran-odds-of-us-striking-iran-spike-on-crypto-betting-platform">Iranians to leave Tehran</a>, pointing to the government&#8217;s refusal to accept a deal aimed at limiting nuclear weapons development, amid ongoing attacks between Israel and Iran that marked the fifth consecutive day on Tuesday.
At the G7 summit in Canada, world leaders urged a reduction in tensions during the most severe clash ever between these regional adversaries, labeling Iran as a source of instability and insisting it must never acquire nuclear weapons, while also recognizing Israel&#8217;s right to self-defense.
Trump took to Truth Social on Monday to clarify his abrupt departure from the G7 Summit in Canada. He refuted Macron's claim that he was returning to Washington to negotiate a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. "He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire. Much bigger than that," Trump wrote.
Trump had previously urged citizens of Tehran, Iran's capital, to evacuate immediately, indicating a potential U.S. involvement in the conflict.
Meanwhile, President Trump, while on Air Force One returning from the G-7 summit, told reporters he is seeking <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45968002/trump-says-israel-iran-ceasefire-not-on-the-table-left-g7-early-for-a-much-bigger-reason-spy-qqq">&#8220;a real end&#8221; to Iran&#8217;s nuclear issue</a>, with Tehran giving it up &#8220;entirely.&#8221;
The 10-year Treasury bond yielded 4.43% and the two-year bond was at 3.96%. The CME Group's FedWatch <a href="https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates/cme-fedwatch-tool.html">tool</a>&#8216;s projections show markets pricing a 99.9% likelihood of the Federal Reserve keeping the current interest rates unchanged in its June meeting.

Insights From Analysts:
Despite the dominating geopolitical headlines, a senior economist at WisdomTree, Jeremy Siegel, told investors that they need to focus on the more meaningful development: &#8220;the continued softening of inflation data.&#8221;
&#8220;Both CPI and PPI came in on the low side, confirming the disinflationary trend that's been evident. These price increases have not yet fully worked their way into the data and are likely to show up over the next couple of months. Even so, the underlying trend is down (excluding tariff impacts coming up). My view remains firm: ex-tariffs, inflation is cooling, and the Fed should begin easing policy,&#8221; he said.
He said that he remains &#8220;optimistic&#8221; about the stock market. &#8220;Markets have shown impressive resilience, inflation is heading in the right direction, and the Fed will ultimately come along. Stay focused on fundamentals and avoid getting whipsawed by noise,&#8221; he added.
Meanwhile, Jeff Buchbinder, the chief equity strategist at LPL Financial explained that there are several key questions to answer before we know how stocks will handle this geopolitical shock, including how much of Iran's energy infrastructure will be impaired and for how long, whether Iran's nuclear capabilities will be completely wiped out, and whether the current regime will remain in power.
For those surprised that the U.S. stock market held up well on Monday, Buchbinder argued that it was a combination of several factors:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The likelihood of regime change in Iran and a resulting "peace dividend",</li>
<li>U.S. energy independence,</li>
<li>Israel's interest in limiting the suffering of Iranian civilians (which could mean limited disruption to oil production facilities), and</li>
<li>Both players have limited resources and an interest in keeping the conflict contained.</li>
</ul>

RTX's Unit Pratt & Whitney Says It Added ITP Aero To GTF MRO Network For Airbus A220 And Embraer E2 Engine Maintenance

U.S. President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;has dismissed French President Emmanuel Macron&#8216;s assertion that he left the G7 Summit for a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, hinting at a more significant reason for his return to Washington.
What Happened:&nbsp;Trump took to Truth Social on Monday to clarify his abrupt departure from the G7 Summit in Canada. He refuted Macron&#8217;s claim that he was returning to Washington to negotiate a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. &#8220;He has no idea why&nbsp;I am now on my&nbsp;way to Washington, but it&nbsp;certainly has nothing to do&nbsp;with a Cease Fire. Much&nbsp;bigger than that,&#8221; Trump wrote.

Trump&#8217;s post comes amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, with the conflict between Israel and Iran entering its fifth day. Trump had previously urged citizens of Tehran, Iran&#8217;s capital, to evacuate immediately, indicating a potential U.S. involvement in the conflict.
Meanwhile, President Trump, while on Air Force One returning from the G-7 summit, told reporters he is seeking "a real end" to Iran's nuclear issue, with Tehran giving it up "entirely," rather than merely agreeing to a ceasefire with Israel, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-real-end-iran-nuclear-program/?intcid=CNI-00-10aaa3a">reported </a>CBS News
&#8220;I didn&#8217;t say I was looking for a ceasefire,&#8221; Trump clarified to the reporters.

Immuneering Corporation, a clinical-stage oncology company outpacing cancer to help patients outlive their disease, today announced positive data from its ongoing Phase 2a clinical trial evaluating atebimetinib (IMM-1-104), an oral, once-daily novel MEK inhibitor, in combination with modified gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (mGnP) in first-line pancreatic cancer patients.
"These exceptional data demonstrate the potential of atebimetinib plus mGnP to dramatically extend the lives of patients with advanced pancreatic cancer," said Ben Zeskind, Ph.D., Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Immuneering. "94% overall survival at 6 months is remarkable in first-line pancreatic cancer patients. Atebimetinib was designed to deliver exceptional durability and tolerability to a broad range of patients with different cancers, and it is deeply gratifying to see evidence of that playing out first in one of the most aggressive and deadly types of cancer. Our ultimate goal is to help cancer patients outlive their disease, and today's announcement represents an important milestone on that journey."

STMicro Unveils Smart Sensor To Cut PC Power Use, Boost Privacy

Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) confronts another National Labor Relations Board complaint over alleged union-busting activities at its DCK6 facility in San Francisco, marking the latest regulatory challenge for the $2 trillion e-commerce giant.
What Happened: The NLRB Region 20 complaint seeks to force Amazon to rehire terminated workers and ensure union supporters receive deserved raises, bonuses, and promotions. This follows a previous April complaint demanding Amazon bargain with the Teamsters at the same facility.
&#8220;Amazon Teamsters are securing victories on the ground and in the courts,&#8221; said Randy Korgan, Director of the Teamsters Amazon Division. &#8220;Workers will not back down, and we will continue to take on this behemoth of a company.&#8221;
The complaints stem from a December holiday strike where over 100 San Francisco workers joined a nationwide unfair labor practice strike. Ken Chu, an Amazon Teamster at DCK6, stated: &#8220;Amazon tried every trick in the book to stop us from organizing a union and we succeeded anyway.&#8221;
Amazon did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.

Why It Matters: This regulatory pressure intensifies amid broader labor disputes. Approximately 15,800 Amazon Flex drivers filed arbitration claims in June 2024, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/06/39293353/amazon-faces-arbitration-from-flex-drivers-demanding-employee-rights-report">alleging misclassification as contractors rather than employees</a>. In October 2024, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41171072/amazon-accused-of-union-busting-after-drivers-unionize-nlrb-files-complaint?utm_source=chatgpt.com">NLRB charged Amazon</a> for refusing to bargain with unionized drivers in California.
The company spent over $3 million in 2023 to prevent unionization among delivery network employees. California fined Amazon $5.9 million for violating worker quota laws, while France imposed a $35 million <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/10/41171072/amazon-accused-of-union-busting-after-drivers-unionize-nlrb-files-complaint?utm_source=chatgpt.com">penalty for labor violations in 2024</a>.
 The Teamsters represent 1.3 million workers across North America, signaling potential for expanded union activity across Amazon&#8217;s logistics network.
According to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings, AMZN demonstrates strong growth and positive momentum, backed by a reasonable valuation. The stock has sustained a favorable price trend over both short- and long-term periods. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Click here for the full stock analysis</a>.

Honeywell (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HON#NASDAQ">HON</a>)&nbsp;and Near Earth Autonomy announced on Tuesday <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/06/n45966486/honeywell-and-near-earth-autonomy-complete-first-autonomous-flight-of-leonardo-aw139-helicopter" rel="noreferrer noopener">that they have</a> completed the first autonomous test flight of a Leonardo AW139 helicopter in support of the U.S. Marine Corps Aerial Logistics Connector (ALC) program.
The flight demonstrates the feasibility of uncrewed, autonomous aircraft operating in contested environments without an onboard pilot or remote operator.
The test flight on Honeywell&#8217;s AW139 took place in&nbsp;Phoenix, Arizona, in May and marks a critical step in efforts to deliver scalable, autonomous logistics support to&nbsp;the United States&nbsp;Marine Corps (USMC), the company said in a press release.

For the first time, key autopilot modes of the AW139 were controlled directly by Near Earth&#8217;s onboard autonomy software, without pilot input, showcasing precise flight control and autonomous decision-making.
Bob Buddecke, president of Electronic Solutions at Honeywell Aerospace Technologies, emphasized showcasing how existing aircraft can be adapted with trusted avionics to support the next generation of defense logistics.
The testing underscores growing geopolitical tensions, exacerbated by conflicts such as those in Russia-Ukraine and India-Pakistan and, most recently, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/commodities/25/06/45965846/israel-is-pounding-irans-energy-infrastructure-and-its-sending-these-oil-etfs-soaring-but-it-maybe-bad-news-at-the-gas-pump" rel="noreferrer noopener">Israel&#8217;s attacks on Iran&#8217;s energy infrastructure</a>.
The ALC program, managed under a Naval Aviation Systems Consortium Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) with Near Earth Autonomy as a prime performer, aims to develop and deploy autonomous aerial logistics systems that reduce personnel risk and increase supply operations&#8217; speed and scale.
Future testing will expand autonomy capabilities, including automated obstacle avoidance, and integrate them into military logistics workflows.

Honeywell, Near Earth Autonomy Test Pilot-Free Helicopter For Faster, Safer Marine Supply

In a bid to attract&nbsp;more high-spending Millennials and Gen&nbsp;Z-ers,&nbsp;American Express&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AXP#NYSE">AXP</a>) is set to roll out significant updates&nbsp;to its U.S. Consumer and&nbsp;Business Platinum Cards later this year.
What Happened:&nbsp;The company&#8217;s CEO,&nbsp;Steve Squeri, is eyeing a younger demographic for the company&#8217;s premium card offerings. The updates, which are the &#8220;largest investment ever in a card refresh&#8221; by the company, are expected to be implemented in late summer or early fall. 
Howard Grosfield, Group President for&nbsp;U.S. Consumer Services, revealed that the investment will be concentrated in two areas. &#8220;We&#8217;ll&nbsp;double down on all the&nbsp;things our cardmembers love now.&nbsp;And we&#8217;ll&nbsp;be adding lots of exciting&nbsp;new brands,&#8221; Grosfield said.
&nbsp;We're going to take these Cards to a new level, not only in what they offer in travel, dining and lifestyle benefits, but also in how they look and feel, to meet the evolving needs of our customers,&#8221; Grosfield elaborated.
Despite the Platinum card&#8217;s $695 annual fee, which is the highest in its class compared to Chase Sapphire&#8217;s $550, Grosfield is confident that the perceived value among Millennials and Gen Z users surpasses the cost.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;Millennials and Gen Z now make up 75% of new Amex Platinum and Gold cardholders in 2024, up from 60% in 2019. Gen Z membership jumped 40% year-over-year in Q1 2025, with both groups showing stronger credit records than the industry average. 
Together, they drove 35% of U.S. consumer spending last quarter. Their growing adoption of the $695 premium card boosted Amex's net card fee revenue by 18% last year. Amex reports high loyalty among these younger users, with an overall retention rate of 98%.
The move by American Express to revamp its Platinum Cards comes amid a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst-color/25/06/45891293/amex-still-king-of-premium-credit-cards-but-chase-capital-one-are-closing-in-fast-analyst">highly competitive</a> premium credit card market. The U.S. premium credit card market is lucrative and fiercely competitive, with companies like&nbsp;Chase&nbsp;and&nbsp;Capital One&nbsp;making significant strides.
By targeting the younger demographic, American Express is strategically positioning itself to maintain its position as the leader in the premium credit card market.
Benzinga's Edge Rankings place American Express in the 71st percentile for quality and the 85th percentile for growth, reflecting its strong performance in both areas.

The foreign inflows in the U.S. equity funds have started &#8220;re-accelerating,&#8221; putting 2025 on the path to become the second-largest year of record inflows of $136 billion, annualized as of mid-2025.
What Happened: According to an X post by the Kobeissi Letter, since 2020, overseas investors have poured $547 billion into U.S. assets, and the foreign purchases of U.S. assets are on track to reach $138 billion in 2025.
However, out of this $138 billion, the investor interest in U.S. equity funds alone could lead to inflows of about $136 billion, the second-highest after 2024.
Such funds have garnered inflows of approximately $350 billion since the beginning of 2020. &#8220;After a brief pause, international buying of US assets is back,&#8221; the post highlighted.

Price Action: After falling on Friday, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which track the S&amp;P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, advanced on Monday.
