Electric Cars
Dyson has been secretly working on electric cars for two years and plans to pour over $2.5B into developing them and related battery tech. Dyson promised a “radically different” car with more efficient batteries by 2020 or 2021.
 
Health Reform
GOP lawmakers pulled the plug on their latest effort to replace Obamacare. Lindsey Graham said the Senate wouldn’t vote on the current health bill but would revisit the issue after tackling tax reform.
 
Longer Tweets
Twitter, struggling with sluggish growth, is experimenting with one of its core features in a bid to engage more users. The social network is testing longer tweets — doubling the 140-character limit to 280 — with select accounts before potentially rolling it out more broadly.

“Companies should identify “no regrets” moves – investments that will mature and succeed regardless of what happens in Washington.”
