The most recent Powerball jackpot was won on May 2, when two players, one from Texas and one from Florida, split the $20 million prize. These two players bring the total number of Powerball winners in 2026 to seven, matching the number of winners in 2025.

In other words, you can add books written by artificial intelligence to your bookshelf. In an interview with TODAY’s Jenna Bush Hager on May 18, CEO James Daunt said he would have “no problem” selling AI-written books in the chain’s more than 800 stores nationwide, but on the condition that it be transparent.

“Yes, in fact, I have no problem selling any book, as long as it’s not pretending or pretending to be something it’s not, and as long as it has some essential quality and that’s what the customer, the reader, wants,” Daunt said. The key, he said, is “to be clear” who the authors are and whether they are real people.

“So as long as the AI-written books are not claiming to be AI-written and pretending to be something else or plagiarizing others, as long as it’s clearly stated and customers want to buy them, we’ll stock them,” he added.

AI-related books may already be on Barnes & Noble shelves

Daunt, who took over as CEO in 2019, also told TODAY that he is optimistic about the future of the industry. The rise of AI doesn’t scare him, as he has withstood the challenges of technological change before. Especially, he noted, because, at least for now, people don’t necessarily seem to be going out of their way to get their hands on robot-written works.

Released as part of its semi-regular PS collection, IKEA has introduced the 2026 PS Easy Chair, which features a tubular frame seat and back with an inflatable cushion. The chair was released to the general public on May 13th and is currently being sold online for $199.99.

According to the official product description, the seat “features two individually inflatable air chambers, one in the center and one around it, allowing you to create your desired firmness and comfort.” It also comes with a fabric cover that can be removed and machine-washed “when you need a refreshment.”

Here’s how the new version compares to IKEA’s previous forays into inflatable furniture.

According to WalletHub, “While mortgages account for the majority of this debt, other sources such as student loans, auto loans, credit cards, and personal loans also contribute significantly to the national total.”

WalletHub reported that in the first quarter of 2026, household debt nationwide decreased by an inflation-adjusted $339 billion. This trend was also seen in the 182 cities analyzed by WalletHub to determine which cities are paying off the most household debt.

“It’s a great sign that the average city resident’s debt has fallen significantly. It shows that people are not only continuing to pay their bills, but also borrowing less,” Chip Lupo, an analyst at WalletHub, said in a news release.

The 2008 financial crisis was brutal, but most experts believe it was largely avoidable. In response, Congress set out to prevent something of this scale from happening again. Former Massachusetts representative Barney Frank, who died on May 19, was one of the key leaders of these efforts.

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (later known simply as “Dodd-Frank”) took more than a year to draft and was finally signed into law in July 2010. The law was intended to strengthen banks from having to seek government bailouts and protect consumers of financial products and services. To a lesser extent, the law also placed some guardrails around financial markets to protect investors.

What has Dodd-Frank done for consumers?

“What we saw in the 2008 crash, leading up to the passage of Dodd-Frank, was that people could be taken advantage of in financial services and products,” said Pamela Fouhey, a professor at the University of Georgia School of Law who specializes in bankruptcy and consumer finance.
