Debate over who benefits from a 90 cent minimum wage hike
The article outlines two opposing views on who gains from Clinton's plan to raise the minimum wage to 5.15 an hour. It notes 9.7 million beneficiaries per BLS data, mostly part time workers, including many under 25 and a majority of women, with debates over sole breadwinner status. Public support runs high, with about 75-85 percent in recent polls backing the increase.

Court stays anti-affirmative action ruling in Texas
A federal appeals court issued a stay delaying its anti-affirmative action ruling to May 13. Texas A&M and the University of Texas said they would resume considering race in admissions and financial aid decisions as Mississippi and Louisiana fall under the same jurisdiction. The stay allows time for a Supreme Court appeal, with potential dissolution if the court declines to hear the case. Texas AG Morales expressed optimism the Supreme Court will take the case.

Farrakhan hints heritage may be Jewish via Portuguese roots
In a New Yorker interview conducted by Henry Louis Gates Jr., Louis Farrakhan suggests his white Portuguese forebears in Jamaica and Barbados may have belonged to Jewish communities. Gates calls this "highly probable" given West Indies migration patterns, while Farrakhan also praises Jewish brilliance and condemns some Jews as scoundrels.
