Texas Instruments expanding U.S. chip production
Texas Instruments plans to spend $60 billion to produce more chips in the U.S. and has carved out an even larger role for Sherman, where the Dallas-based company is building a megasite. Why it matters: Chips are integral to cars, data centers and electronics and are difficult to manufacture. The Biden and Trump administrations have advocated for the U.S. to manufacture more chips domestically and rely less on Chinese tech components. State of play: TI says it will make the country's largest investment in foundational semiconductor manufacturing, creating over 60,000 new jobs. The company was already building two semiconductor fabrication plants, referred to as fabs, at a megasite in Sherman. Now, the company says it will build two more plants at the site to support future demand. TI also plans to ramp up production at its existing plants in Richardson and Lehi, Utah. The intrigue: TI is more than graphing calculators. The 95-year-old company's technology is found in Apple products, Ford vehicles, SpaceX's Starlink internet service and health care equipment. The company is also working with Nvidia to develop advanced AI infrastructure. Zoom out: Samsung is investing more than $40 billion, along with $6.4 billion in federal money, to expand semiconductor production in Central Texas, including a 1,200-acre chip manufacturing plant outside Austin — almost twice as large as the company's flagship campus in South Korea. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. is planning six plants in Phoenix and says 30% of its most advanced chips will be produced in Arizona. Threat level: The U.S. has scrambled to ramp up chip production capacity after the pandemic exposed the country's overreliance on imports as a national security issue, Axios' Nathan Bomey reports.

Young Thug performs for the first time since leaving jail, teams with Travis Scott and T.I.: Photos
BRIDGEVIEW, Ill. (AP) — Atlanta rapper Young Thug has returned to the stage for the first time since he was released from custody late last year. He was indicted on gang and racketeering charges in one of the most high-profile RICO cases in recent history. On Sunday, Young Thug launched into his highly anticipated headlining set at the Summer Smash, in Bridgeview, Illinois, marking his first public concert since March 2022. Rappers Travis Scott, Ken Carson and T.I. joined him on stage at the festival. On May 9, 2022, the rapper was indicted and arrested. More charges were added in a subsequent indictment that August. The second indictment accused Young Thug and 27 others of conspiring to violate Georgia's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, known as RICO. The rapper was also accused of participation in criminal street gang activity, as well as drug and gun charges. In October 2024, he pleaded guilty to gang, drug and gun charges and was released from jail, though he could be put back behind bars if he violates the terms of his sentence. Young Thug, whose given name is Jeffery Lamar Williams, is known for his eccentric style, mumble rap and squeaky, high-pitched vocals. He shot to popularity with breakout hits including 'Stoner' and 'Best Friend." He also co-wrote the hit 'This is America' with Childish Gambino, making history when it became the first hip-hop track to win the song of the year Grammy in 2019. Sunday's Summer Smash performance was just the beginning of Young Thug's return to the stage: He's on the bill for the Belgian festival Les Ardentes and Switzerland's Openair Frauenfeld, both scheduled for next month. He's also scheduled for ComplexCon in Las Vegas in October. ___ AP Music Writer Maria Sherman reported from New York.
