Bankrupt rental-car company Hertz—the “original meme stock” that months ago briefly saw its shares skyrocket almost 900%—is turning out to be a bum deal for shareholders, who “will get nothing” under the reorganization plan that will take the company out of Chapter 11 protection - Bloomberg
Grocery delivery company Instacart revealed Tuesday that it raised $265 million in a recent funding round that values the company at $39 billion—“more than doubling its valuation for the second time in a year” - NYTimes
The Senate has confirmed Rhode Island governor Gina Raimondo as the nation’s next Commerce Secretary by an 84-15 vote – Law360
Meanwhile, OMB nominee Neera Tanden is officially out “after she faced opposition from key Democratic and Republican senators over her past controversial tweets.” Yes, the controversial tweets sank her. Really - TheGuardian and Bloomberg and NYTimes and WSJ
