P.M. Edition for Sept. 2. Kraft Heinz plans to separate its business into two companies, unwinding a decade-old food-industry megamerger. WSJ reporter Jesse Newman joins to discuss why the company is splitting up and what it means for some of consumers’ favorite packaged-food brands. Plus, data centers driving the artificial intelligence boom are making more requests to connect to the U.S. electric grid—even though not all of them may get built. WSJ reporter Jennifer Hiller tells us why that might leave other customers footing the bill. And a federal judge finds the Trump administration’s deployment of troops in Los Angeles was illegal.
