They seem to have signaled some openness to trade talks with the U.S. after pretty much ignoring Trump’s demands before. The conventional wisdom has been that China could wait all this out in a way the U.S What do you make of these carefully choreographed moves by the Chinese government?The first thing is that China has a problem with its exports to the U.S now has a problem with its trade relations with everybody because it has imposed tariffs on everybody at the same time So the tariffs on China are a problem for China and that’s created a big problem for itself And I think that’s one of the reasons that we’re sensing this optimism from Beijing that they might have greater capacity to wait this out than the U.S The second piece of it is that China’s leaders know very well that there are some really big Think about Nvidia with its sales of semiconductors Think even about some of the big retail companies So I think there’s also an understanding on the Chinese side that effectively creating this embargo between the world’s two biggest economies — it’s going to create some blowback for the U.S. some blowback for some big name companies and for the U.S President Trump has a kind of freewheeling businessman’s approach to dealmaking and has demonstrated some wins from that approach to dealmaking The Chinese very much do not have that approach and they are especially allergic to putting their top leader Xi Jinping in a position where he could be surprised or And so I think the instinct in the White House is and they’ll hash this out.” And the instinct on the Chinese side is Let’s have extensive working-level discussions Let’s get absolute clarity on what’s being agreed here and then maybe we’ll do the Trump-Xi meeting But we’re certainly not doing that to kick things off.” And I think that difference in negotiating styles is going to be an additional hurdle as we attempt to move past this impasse And of course, China does not appreciate the U.S. attacking it, and saying all kinds of disrespectful things That seems to be a condition — simply respect us a little bit — and the Trump administration can’t do it.I think that’s completely correct China views itself as a peer competitor with the U.S. China also has its own history to deal with a kind of internal narrative about a century of humiliation — which came before the creation of the People’s Republic — and a desire to kind of stand tall and be treated with respect in the world And obviously being insulted by anybody doesn’t help create a conducive atmosphere for negotiations What level of damage has already been done Not only the tangible damage — international shipments are already falling and there’s going to be fallout from that in the coming months — but more the intangible damage to the U.S that things go back to semi-normal in the next month Trump deserves a lot of credit for identifying a real problem here That trade deficit means jobs and opportunities for middle-class Americans are being shipped overseas We’ve seen the devastation that that has brought to communities in states like Pennsylvania and Ohio where factory towns have effectively been closed down and China is America’s main geopolitical rival And depending on your main geopolitical rival for crucial inputs from semiconductors to the base ingredients for pharmaceuticals I think there are some legitimate questions to be raised about whether that’s a good idea So I think Trump has identified a real problem The question is whether his approach to solving the problem — really high tariffs and nosebleed-inducing uncertainty — is the right approach I have a hunch that the answer is “no.” Yeah we’ve got tariffs at 145 percent between the U.S Tariffs at that level effectively shut off U.S.-China trade There’s not a lot you can profitably do between the two countries with tariffs at that level So let’s imagine the tariffs go down to 60 percent That also effectively shuts off U.S.-China trade it’s just not profitable to trade with each other And then to come back to another dimension of your question: If you introduce absolutely enormous uncertainty if you demand concessions from your trade partners it raises questions about whether other people can engage in good-faith negotiations with you even if tariffs come back to their April 1 levels Something is still broken because trust is broken And I’m just thinking of all these companies from huge conglomerates to small businesses who have to plan around all this and then a month later might have to move it back uncertainty is the thing businesses hate the most.On the Bloomberg Terminal you can count the number of times particular words are mentioned in news stories One of the things we’ve done in the last few weeks is create trade-policy uncertainty indexes We’re basically just counting the times “trade” and “uncertainty” are mentioned in stories And what we can see is that trade policy uncertainty has rocketed to a record high really an extremely high level of uncertainty I think you see some advantages to that uncertainty You’re throwing your opponent off balance; you’re getting a better deal for the American people And I think there’s some early signs that on the dealmaking side which companies like Apple and Nvidia and TSMC and Hyundai have made to make big investments in the U.S That’s the kind of the fruits or the positive consequence of this uncertainty If you don’t know if you’re going to face zero tariffs next month or 25 percent tariffs or 50 percent tariffs or 100 percent tariffs It’s really hard to decide if you’re going to hire it’s really hard to decide if you’re going to invest And when you have this kind of paralysis of indecision in C-suites This interview has been edited for length and clarity By submitting your email, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Notice and to receive email correspondence from us Things you buy through our links may earn Vox Media a commission Password must be at least 8 characters and contain: you’ll receive occasional updates and offers from New York OBITUARY: Remembering the life and career of the ‘tough and popular’ Jochen Mass Ocon vows Haas will 'keep at it’ as he laments bad luck during Miami Grand Prix Antonelli's 'seismic moment' and why Williams were faster than Ferrari – it’s our Miami GP review Gasly admits Alpine ‘need answers’ after difficult weekend in Miami as Doohan reflects on Lap 1 collision with Lawson Audi announce organisational restructure ahead of F1 arrival in 2026 Yuki Tsunoda admitted that he made his life “much more difficult” after picking up a five-second time penalty in the Miami Grand Prix meaning that he had to work even harder to build a gap and hold onto the final point on offer in P10 Tsunoda gained a position at the start but hit trouble when he was investigated for speeding in the pit lane during his pit stop an offence that ultimately earned him a five-second penalty READ MORE: Piastri wins from Norris and Russell as McLaren seal commanding 1-2 in Miami Grand Prix As he continued to run in P10 for much of the remainder of the race the Red Bull driver was then faced with the challenge of maintaining a big enough gap back to Racing Bulls’ Isack Hadjar in P11 in order to keep the final points-paying position This was a feat that Tsunoda ultimately achieved but the 24-year-old conceded after the race that it had not been a straightforward task Tsunoda was hit with a five-second time penalty for speeding in the pit lane during the Miami Grand Prix “Certainly my old team mate didn’t make my life easier!” said Tsunoda “[In the] last 10 laps he picked up pace quite a lot and I was pushing enough but I just got to go what I’ve got to do and I maximised my pace “Obviously a bit unnecessarily from myself that made my life much more difficult with the five seconds MIAMI LOWDOWN: All the key moments as McLaren and Antonelli shine, Ferrari face tensions and LEGO takes over "I’m happy that I’m able to score points but at the same time not happy with the pace I had and I think as a team we struggled [on] overall pace so [it’s] something that we have to look at.” Time penalty ‘made my life much more difficult’ admits Tsunoda after P10 in Miami Pushed on whether he was surprised by the RB21’s pace at the Miami International Autodrome Tsunoda admitted that there are still improvements to be made going forward “[The] pace itself was alright,” the Japanese driver explained but at the same time I think we didn’t have good pace at all I struggled from Qualifying – I just feel the car is not going forwards as I’m expecting to READ MORE: Verstappen labels Miami Grand Prix ‘a struggle’ after slipping back to P4 as he reflects on gap to McLaren “To be honest it’s hard to explain what the issue is I did what I can do in this race and that was my probably maximum as I can do for now Don't miss your chance to experience the picturesque Imola circuit..

Timberlake x Nike shoe collab early access Scottie Scheffler ran away from the field at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. The CJ Cup Byron Nelson was a special tournament for Scottie Scheffler long before the South Korean lifestyle company became a sponsor. Scheffler, a Dallas, Texas native, has been going to the Byron Nelson since he was a child. In 2003, a six-year-old Scheffler met the legendary Nelson while at the tournament. Eleven years later, Scheffler made his professional debut at the Byron Nelson while playing on a sponsor exemption as a 17-year-old. He finished in a tie for 22nd that week. Eleven years later, the World No. 1 added to his CJ Cup Byron Nelson history by running away from the field to claim his 14th career PGA Tour win. Scheffler opened his hometown tournament with a blistering 61 and backed it up with a 63 to enter the weekend with a six-shot lead, the biggest 36-hole margin on the PGA Tour since Brooks Koepka led the 2019 PGA Championship by seven at the halfway point. Scheffler increased his lead to eight after three rounds, and he coasted to victory on Sunday at TPC Craig Ranch, eventually winning by eight shots. Scheffler’s 72-hole total of 252 ties the PGA Tour record for lowest 72-hole score. Scheffler’s continued run of immaculate play has left his playing competitors in awe, including his friend and former World No. 1 Jordan Spieth, who is trying to make up ground on Scheffler now that he’s fully healthy. “What he’s doing is inspiring, what he’s been doing is inspiring given — I mean, it wasn’t that long ago I was definitely better than him, and now I’m definitely not right now,” Spieth said after shooting a 9-under 62 on Sunday to finish in fourth place. “I hate admitting that about anybody, but I just watched it those first two rounds, and like I’ve got to get better. It’s very inspiring.” How much every player made at the 2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson  T5.

Read our Privacy notice Retirement is the dream of every worker, but it can also be a source of dread and anxiety because the money needed to do so in comfort is out of reach for many Americans According to a recent study by Northwestern Mutual Americans felt they would need $1.26 million saved up in order to retire comfortably The median net worth (meaning all of the assets and minus liabilities) of Americans between 65-74 years old is $410,000 according to the Federal Reserve Board's 2022 Survey of Consumer Finances And that’s including everything they own — a home More than half of Americans surveyed (51 percent) told Northwestern Mutual that they think they are somewhat or very likely to outlive their savings “I think whats important now — what happens every time we have a volatile market dip — is that people read the headlines and they get scared The younger generation might see that and decide not to invest “Look at this as an opportunity to buy stocks Increase your contribution to your 401k or a Roth IRA because I’ll tell you what — the billionaires are all buying while everyone else is selling.” Americans should have the equivalent of your annual salary saved up that number should be six times their income and by 60 it should be approximately eight times their income That breakdown tends to be the standard shared by many financial experts with some minor disparities Ally Bank's breakdown for retirement saving is similar to what's presented by Fidelity; at 30 have the equivalent of your annual income in the bank and at 60 you're recommended to have seven times your income saved up for retirement and [be investing] as aggressively as we can,” Valega told The Independent “It's never too early or too late to start investing Both Fidelity and Ally advise that it's important to keep in mind that those benchmarks are guidelines and that an individual's retirement goals and personal circumstances must be factored in remember that most others aren’t either — 17 percent of Americans have less than their annual income saved for retirement how much Fidelity recommends you have saved if you want to retire at 67 Lifestyle is another important consideration If a worker wants to spend their retirement traveling the world lavishing their loved ones with substantial inheritances those goals need to be accounted for in advance “I'm in New England, and we used to advise people to retire with $2 million to have a comfortable retirement,” Valega said, who works with fairly wealthy clients. “Now I want my clients to have $3 and $4 million saved in their retirement accounts to maintain the type of life they're accustomed to. So it depends a lot on where you live, and where you want to live.” Climate, activities, and proximity to loved ones all factor into those decisions, and thus must factor in to how one plans for their retirement. If a person has loved ones in several cities, they may want to plan to save up enough money to cover transportation for visits, or enough to afford a home or an apartment with a guest room. In order to actually manage to save up all the money needed to retire in relative comfort, financial experts suggested using a 50/30/20 budget frame work. According to the 50/30/20 framework, people should, after taxes, take 20 percent of their income and put it toward savings and debt repayment, and 50 percent should go to needs, while 30 percent should go to wants. The money set aside for savings ideally should be placed into high yield savings accounts, retirement accounts and investments into the stock market. Taking advantage of compound interest — that is, interest that builds on interest earned — is a top recommendation from virtually all of the major retirement planning experts. amount Americans believe they need to retire comfortably “Given that we have more uncertainty than ever, I think it's so important to get money working for you in stocks and assets like real estate. You do want to be smart — if it comes down to someone enjoying a luxury like a trip or investing a few hundred bucks, I'd probably tell you to go with the investment,” Valega said. A good place to start, according to Fidelity, is investing in a standard index fund that tracks the S&P 500, as its more diversified than buying individual stocks like a day trader might. Most major brokers have S&P 500 fund or ETF like Vanguard. Perhaps the most important tip that financial experts have recommended has less to do with the technical side of budgeting and investing and more to do with perspective. All of this advice — saving more than a million dollars, hitting decade benchmarks, navigating the stock market — can seem daunting, but setting short term goals can help alleviate some of that stress, since the worst thing you can do is nothing at all.

While running requires minimal equipment compared to other activities, the right footwear can make or break your experience—and your budget Let's break down what various types of runners should expect to spend on shoes and where you can save without compromising your running experience If you're just starting out with one or two short runs per week or mixing running with other forms of exercise Worth investing in: A proper fitting. Even at discount retailers like DSW or Famous Footwear, find someone who can watch you walk or run to ensure you're not severely overpronating What to avoid: Ultra-cheap generic athletic shoes under $40—these often lack the minimal cushioning and support needed even for casual running For those running three to four times weekly you'll want something more substantial that balances price and performance Where to save: Shop previous generation models or check running specialty stores' clearance racks. Running warehouse websites frequently offer last season's designs at significant discounts What to avoid: Premium racing shoes or highly specialized models—you'll pay more for features you don't need yet your footwear becomes a crucial training tool What to look for: Shoes specific to your running style Where to save: Look for shoes with high mileage ratings (450-500+) to get more value per dollar What to avoid: Buying solely based on looks or trends That Instagram-famous shoe might not work for your specific running style For serious competitors focused on performance shoe technology becomes a legitimate competitive advantage My word of advice: Don't spend money like a competitive racer unless you're confident this is your running identity What to look for: Race-specific shoes with carbon plates Where to save: Reserve these expensive shoes exclusively for races and key workouts What to avoid: Using these high-tech racing shoes for everyday training—they'll wear out quickly and you'll lose the "special" feeling on race day If you prefer natural running with minimal interference between your foot and the ground you can sometimes spend less—but not always What to look for: Low drop (difference between heel and forefoot height) often cost less than traditional running shoes—but you have to be prepared to train as a borderline barefoot runner What to avoid: Ultra-cheap "barefoot-style" knockoffs that don't actually provide the proper anatomical fit needed for safe minimalist running While I don't have as much personal experience here I know off-road enthusiasts face different demands and usually require specialized footwear What to look for: Aggressive tread patterns Where to save: Unless you're exclusively a trail runner one pair of trail shoes alongside your road shoes is sufficient eliminating the need for multiple specialized trail models What to avoid: Waterproof trail shoes unless you run in consistently cold wet conditions—they're more expensive and less breathable here are some features that I constantly see marketed but in my opinion never justify a higher price tag: Fashion collaborations: Designer-branded running shoes typically add $30-50 without performance benefits Gimmicky technology: Be skeptical of proprietary features that can't be explained in simple terms "Smart" shoes: Shoes with smart tracking and embedded sensors are neat for about one day, but their value proposition can't compete with a good running watch or app Limited edition designs: While they look cool they function identically to standard versions The right shoes aren't just about performance—they're injury prevention tools Some money-saving strategies work across all runner types: Rotation to extend life: Using two pairs alternately can give each shoe time to decompress allowing you to extend how long each pair lasts Outlet shopping: Factory outlets for major brands often sell shoes at 30-40% below retail Timing purchases: New models typically release annually Running specialty store loyalty programs: Many offer discounts after multiple purchases or will price-match online retailers Remember that the most expensive shoe isn't necessarily the best for you—it's about finding the right match for your specific needs, gait, and running goals. A proper fitting at a specialty running store is worth the time investment, even if you eventually purchase elsewhere.

It injected vast amounts of steam into the sky and reshaped what we know about volcanic climate influence Submarine eruptions were once seen as secondary players in climate dynamics Volcanoes influence the climate by injecting gases and particles into the atmosphere sulfur dioxide was considered the major player in determining the cooling effects of volcanic eruptions forming reflective aerosols that reduced sunlight and lowered global temperatures But the underwater Hunga volcano didn’t behave like those eruptions It released far less sulfur dioxide than expected That led some to believe its climate influence would be minor Yet the opposite has turned out to be true This underwater volcano’s impact has now been linked to measurable cooling across the Southern Hemisphere as well as other unusual atmospheric changes “Submarine volcanism has previously been overlooked in global climate studies because there is typically not much atmospheric sulfur dioxide released,” said Professor Shane Cronin Cronin’s work challenges the traditional view that sulfur dioxide is the sole metric for climate risk It injected up to 3 billion tons of water vapor into the sky in just one hour That vapor didn’t just stay in the lower atmosphere It rose all the way to the stratosphere and mesosphere – layers of the atmosphere that are rarely touched by earthly forces Water vapor in these upper layers can trap heat and affect weather patterns in complex ways This eruption showed that submarine volcanoes can influence the climate not just by what they emit but by how high they can push that material “The eruption has been shown by several recently published studies to have cooled the Southern Hemisphere and caused a range of other atmospheric and climate impacts that we are still discovering,” noted Cronin These ongoing discoveries are forcing a re-evaluation of the role underwater eruptions play in Earth’s climate balance While the eruption had the potential to unleash a large amount of sulfur dioxide satellite data initially reported only modest levels That seemed odd for an eruption of Hunga’s scale Volcanic ash samples collected from the eruption helped solve the mystery Researchers found that the magma stored deep below the ocean surface – between 2.1 and over 5.6 kilometers down – was rich in sulfur the eruption happened between 400 and 1,000 meters below sea level over 93% of the sulfur never reached the air It dissolved straight into the ocean waters The team estimated a total release of 9.4 teragrams of sulfur Yet almost all of it bypassed the sky entirely This means that traditional monitoring tools like satellite sulfur tracking and even polar ice-core analysis The sulfur was there – it just took a different path The eruption wasn’t just powerful; it was also incredibly fast Magma surged upward from the deep reservoir to the ocean floor in under three minutes That rapid ascent preserved microscopic chemical features Researchers discovered magmatic mingling with sharp contrasts – about 1% differences – in water content between magma types This revealed that complex storage and mixing processes occurred just before the blast it released 319 teragrams of magmatic water But even that number paled in comparison to the water that was created through the interaction between magma and seawater Less than 10% of the total water vapor came from the magma itself The vast majority resulted from seawater flashing into steam – enough to transform the sky above Because most of the sulfur entered the ocean the eruption left only a faint trace in the atmosphere This poses a major challenge for climate science Many global records of past eruptions rely on atmospheric sulfur data especially from satellite sensors or ice cores If eruptions like Hunga leave no clear signal in these tools Submarine eruptions may be more common – and more climate-relevant – than previously believed they go uncounted in climate histories and models This could mean that volcanic influence has been underestimated in past centuries or misjudged in terms of future risks Submarine explosions can trigger massive tsunamis Cronin and his team, including researchers now based at the University of Otago continue to work with Tongan partners to understand the long-term effects “We are striving to understand the broader hazards of submarine volcanism including tsunami and damage to shorelines and internet data cables as well as how these eruptions affect our environment and climate,” explained Cronin This collaboration is helping Pacific nations prepare for future eruptions It’s also drawing attention to gaps in global monitoring systems If a submarine eruption can impact the climate and infrastructure without much warning scientists and policymakers will need to rethink how they track and respond to these events The Hunga eruption has done more than shake the ocean floor – it has shaken the assumptions of climate science It showed that water vapor can drive climate shifts. It proved that sulfur can vanish into the sea, where it can remain hidden from satellites and ice.

Sometimes, it's just to secure shell into one of my Linux machines; other times I prefer not to use the default MacOS terminal app.  it doesn't close when you type exit (which is the standard behavior for most terminal apps) Also: How to create and use MacOS Smart Folders - and make file management a breeze I always turn to an alternative terminal app when on MacOS If you're interested in doing the same I've rounded up what I consider to be the six best MacOS terminal applications and I'm certain one of these will serve your needs perfectly I'm going to start with the best of the bunch. I've been using iTerm2 for a long time now and have found it to be everything I need in a terminal app instant replay (to recover text that was previously deleted from the terminal) Another really handy feature with iTerm2 is the ability to set a hotkey so you can quickly call up the terminal This is set in Settings > Keys > Hotkey by enabling App Hotkey I set iTerm2 with transparency because it reminds me of the Linux terminal I can see what's going on with a single glance iTerm2 is free and works with MacOS 10.14 or newer (on both Intel and Apple Silicon computers) iTerm2 is my go-to terminal app when I need to run commands quickly Kitty is a terminal app available for both Linux and MacOS Kitty supports modern features like graphics One of Kitty's best features is kittens you can view remote images in Kitty with the help of the icat kitten Say you want to view an image of a kitty in Kitty kitty +kitten icat https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cd/Stray_kitten_Rambo002.jpg/220px-Stray_kitten_Rambo002.jpgThe image of the kitty would appear in the Kitty window A photo of a kitty in the Kitty terminal app Warp has become my go-to when I need a combination of the terminal app and artificial intelligence (AI) and it's nice to have it baked into a terminal.  The AI in Warp isn't what you probably think it is. Instead, it's a means of better understanding commands or code. Sometimes, when I'm working on Python code I'll come across a line or block I don't quite understand I can paste that code into the Warp terminal and it will explain to me what's going on.  Also: How to close apps in MacOS from the command line For those who like the idea of using the terminal in MacOS this technique is a great way to learn the ins and outs of how it all works paste it into Warp and let it explain everything You can also ask Warp in plain language how to do something via the command line Warp includes features like split panes, git integration, workflows, themes, and more. You can use Warp for free, but you'll need to purchase a monthly plan to get support and more business-centric features I use Warp terminal to boost my research This is an Electron-based terminal app built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Hyper is highly configurable but you must edit a text file to make any changes Even though you'll find a Settings entry in the menu all that option does is open the configuration file in your default web browser I suggest this terminal to more advanced users.  Also: The best Linux distros for beginners you can change the look and feel of the terminal app but that process requires using the Node.js package manager which is yet another reason why I would only recommend this app for advanced users You can install and use Hyper for free on MacOS Hyper might seem fairly basic but it does have a few tricks Core Shell is a terminal window dedicated to making SSH easier it's also a full-featured terminal app so even if you don't frequently (or ever) use SSH this terminal app can still serve you with features like OpenSSH compatibility tags -- and those are just the free features.  Also: 8 simple ways Mac users can better protect their privacy The Core Shell terminal app can serve as a handy SSH client or a local terminal Tabby simplifies connecting to SSH servers with profiles and connections you can create profiles for various SSH connections Tabby is also a general terminal window that includes theming Also: 5 easy ways to turn MacOS Finder into a way better file manager You'll also find plugins for a good number of extra features Tabby features tabs and the ability to quickly change between any shells you might have installed (such as bash) There's also an integrated serial terminal an optional Quake mode (to quickly show/hide the terminal window with a keyboard click) Tabby might seem basic but once you start poking around the Settings window There you have it -- six terminal apps for MacOS that are considerably better than the default Give one of these tools a try and see if your selection doesn't quickly win you over Get the morning's top stories in your inbox each day with our Tech Today newsletter Here’s your Monday afternoon forecast for May 5 The 80s get pushed to western and northern Minnesota Monday afternoon East-southeast winds will pull in slightly cooler air in the Twin Cities and northwest Wisconsin That front could produce a couple of showers up north Tuesday It won’t be enough rain to send you indoors northeast winds will drop highs closer to 70° Wednesday and Thursday there could be more showers and t-showers Friday night into Saturday What a stunning forecast for the fishing opener and Mother’s Day weekend Any person with disabilities who needs help accessing the content of the FCC Public File may contact KSTP via our online form or call 651-646-5555 I figured I'd give one of these new noodles a shot: the Chinese Spicy Garlic this flavor is at a respectable medium (two peppers) I wanted to see if it genuinely packed some heat the individual package size of these is relatively small; the total dry weight is 3 ounces the Buldak Carbonara I have in the pantry is a much bigger 4.58 ounces adding the noodles and a single seasoning packet and boiling everything for three minutes together just a bit of stirring to break the brick of thin noodles up so they don't stick And unlike lots of other instant ramen I've eaten the three minute boiling mark is relatively accurate (though I ended up adding an extra 30 seconds) I'll start with the good stuff first: These noodles do have some punch to them If you're going to compare the Chinese Spicy Garlic Maggi noodles to a typical American packaged product they would read as slightly closer to hot than to medium If you're going to compare it to any popular variety of Korean spicy instant ramen it'd be more along the lines of a standard medium heat level The liquid here is somewhat interesting in that it's a cross between a broth and a sauce As it cools off it starts to thicken slightly and adhere to the noodles A sprinkle of green onion rings and an egg would dress these things up perfectly if that's what you seek — they're just good ol' spicy noodles Maybe a dash of Maggi would perk them right up WASHINGTON – On his second day in office, President Donald Trump was asked if he would continue selling products that benefited him personally after sales of a new Trump "meme coin" had soared to as much as $20 billion in value I heard it was very successful,” Trump replied That's peanuts for these guys,” Trump said gesturing toward a group of tech billionaires at the White House event More: Banking regulators ease restrictions as crypto-friendly policies take shape Trump never answered whether he would seek personal profit from the presidency – something historians say virtually every other president has pledged to avoid Just two of the cryptocurrency investments owned by Trump-affiliated entities have made at least $300 million in trading fees alone on sales of his meme coin and other digital currency since January Greater potential profits lie in the Trump entities’ stake in the value of the meme coin and their other Trump-themed crypto investments How much money has Trump made in office?Meanwhile, Trump's administration has loosened regulation of the cryptocurrency industry and dismantled a Justice Department unit targeting crypto fraud Crypto isn’t Trump's only source of funds since returning to office his Truth Social platform and a range of branded merchandise How much has Trump earned in his first 100 days back in the White House More: What is the 'God Bless the USA Bible'? The $60 Bible Trump and Lee Greenwood are selling to find a number right now,” said Fred Wertheimer of the nonprofit accountability group Democracy 21 "The president spent many years bragging about how many billions of dollars he had but as president it's a different story," said Wertheimer "He doesn't hide all his business ventures but he certainly doesn't report on what's going on." ranking Democrat on the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations told USA TODAY he’s launching an investigation into Trump’s profits as president The cryptocurrency ventures − including a digital meme coin celebrating Trump’s survival of a July 2024 assassination attempt − will be key to Blumenthal’s inquiry “makes money off the trading because the transactions generate a fee as well as from the increase in price for the coins that results from his promoting or enticing sales.” “Whether it's tens of millions or hundreds of millions really is a topic for the investigation,” said Blumenthal “But I just cannot emphasize how craven and brazen this kind of stunt is but it involves millions of dollars and a threat to our national security.” Blumenthal said he was especially concerned that the opaque nature of crypto transactions makes it virtually impossible to determine how much Trump is profiting – and who might be seeking influence by purchasing the Trump coins could pose a national security threat by allowing foreign governments to enrich Trump – and gain his favor − without public knowledge saying the president did not have a conflict of interest because his assets are controlled by his children told USA TODAY the company was "not involved in politics whatsoever." Trump has upended the customs restraining a commander-in-chief’s ability to profit from the office one of the many private companies affiliated with Trump and his family upped the ante by offering existing and new buyers of the $TRUMP meme coin "the most EXCLUSIVE INVITATION in the world." A meme coin is a type of crypto asset inspired by internet memes, characters or trends "for which the promoter seeks to attract an enthusiastic online community to purchase the meme coin and engage in its trading," according to the Securities and Exchange Commission meme coins are akin to collectibles," the SEC says "Meme coins also typically have limited or no use or functionality." The $TRUMP coin is marketed as a celebration of Trump's defiant response to a July 13 assassination attempt at a campaign rally in Butler “With his fist in the air and the iconic battle cry FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT President Trump showed the world what a LEADER is made of," a description says calling an image from that day "the most memorable meme of the century.” The $TRUMP meme coin is advertised as "the only Official Trump Meme The fine print cautions that the coin is "intended to function as an expression of support for the ideals and beliefs embodied by the symbol $TRUMP," and is “not intended to be and a company called Fight Fight Fight LLC collectively own 80% of the $TRUMP meme coin The announcement from the official website for the $TRUMP meme coin said the top 220 investors would win an “intimate private dinner” with the president on May 22 at his northern Virginia golf club The top 25 investors in the Trump meme coin were promised "an ultra-VIP experience that includes a private reception with the president and a guided White House tour." The $TRUMP meme coin surged as much as 80%, adding more than $100 million to its value, according to Finance Magnates and other crypto-trackers Crypto analysis firm Chainalysis found that Trump and business entities connected to him made more than $1.3 million in trading fees in the days after the dinner and tour were announced, adding to the more than $320 million in fees and income they had already taken in Chainalysis spokesman Jorah Huntington told USA TODAY “This is one of the most blatant and appalling instances of selling access to the presidency I've ever seen,” said Donald Sherman, executive director and chief counsel of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington The White House and the Trump Organization did not respond to a list of questions seeking comment about Trump's meme coin and other investments Neither did lawyer William Burck, who was hired in January to reinforce the Trump Organization’s ethical standards but was fired recently after it emerged he was also representing Harvard University in the school's legal clash with the Trump administration White House spokesperson Anna Kelly told USA TODAY: “The President’s assets are in a trust managed by his children Kelly was referring to an announcement in January by the Trump Organization that Trump would hand over daily management of his multi-billion-dollar real estate media and licensing portfolio to his children when he entered the White House But Trump’s current arrangement is even more open to abuse than during his first term when countries like Saudi Arabia paid his companies millions of dollars according to USA TODAY interviews and reports by congressional Democrats and watchdog groups presidents have pledged not to enrich themselves while in office to ensure confidence that policy decisions are made for the country’s good – not personal gain “That is no longer the case,” said Danielle Brian president of the Washington-based Project On Government Oversight “President Trump has made it clear he's going to make as much money as he can while he's president because he's president – and he's unabashed about it.” Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., a former federal prosecutor, is one of several Senate Democrats who have called for the Office of Government Ethics to investigate Trump’s crypto ventures, including whether his establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve in March improperly helped his own investments “Donald Trump's making a ton of money, and the only losers here are the American people,” Schiff said in a video posted on X Crypto empire expansionFor Trump, who calls himself the first “Crypto President,” the $TRUMP meme coin is just one piece of a larger empire that also includes a meme coin for first lady Melania Trump that initially was valued in the billions of dollars The Trumps now have a claim on 75% of World Liberty Financial's net revenues from token sales, 60% from operations − and about $400 million in transaction fees, according to the company's website and Reuters told USA TODAY he could not comment on how much money Trump and his family have made from the venture He said allegations of conflict of interest or corruption were "hyperbole at its highest and finest and completely wrong and completely false." Wachsman described World Liberty as a "non-political organization We're not involved in politics whatsoever." In his call for an investigation, Schiff cited the case of Justin Sun, a Hong Kong crypto entrepreneur who pumped $75 million into World Liberty Financial Sun had faced a civil fraud case by federal securities regulators that involved celebrities including Lindsay Lohan, Jake Paul "Well, it won't surprise you to learn that the fraud case against Justin Sun has now been put on hold by the Trump administration,” Schiff said in his video "The American people simply cannot know now with this administration whether it is acting on behalf of the American people or on behalf of Donald Trump's financial interests." did not respond to a call and email seeking comment As of May 1, Sun − with an estimated investment of $14 million − topped the $TRUMP meme coin website's leaderboard of investors eligible for the private dinner with Trump the company has branched into other ventures close friend and billionaire developer Steve Witkoff adding that “the identity of its major holders World Liberty is now also in business with Justin Sun Sun appeared with Witkoff and Eric Trump at a May 1 crypto conference in Dubai Because his White House financial disclosure form isn't due at the Office of Government Ethics until mid-May there is no way to know how much Trump has earned from various sources Foreign governments spent millions at Trump’s hotels and golf courses during his first term with Trump businesses earning up to $160 million from foreign states What is the thing of value when you put $5 million into these Trump meme coins other than that you are putting money in the president's pocket?” asked Rick Claypool of Public Citizen Trump has sold his Washington hotel. But he still profits from foreign spending on his golf properties. Saudi Arabia’s LIV Golf tour has held seven tournaments at Trump courses, even as Trump pressures the more established PGA Tour to merge with LIV − a move benefiting the Saudis The PGA Tour turned down LIV's latest multibillion-dollar offer in early April "But hopefully we're going to get the two tours to merge," Trump told reporters on Air Force One And I think having them merge would be a great thing." Selling access to Trump’s inner circleLast month, amid White House Correspondents' Dinner festivities, Donald Trump Jr. co-hosted a launch party for his “The Executive Branch,” a private club costing more than $500,000 to join Politico, quoting people familiar with the venture, said its goal was to "cater to the business and tech moguls who are looking to nurture their relationships with the Trump administration." On April 30, Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., brought oversized charts to the Senate floor to denounce what he called Trump's "100 Days of Corruption." was "the biggest scandal in the history of the American presidency."   But in the last 30 years, child mortality rates have plummeted in low-income countries. In Ethiopia, they’ve dropped from 20% to 5%, as shown in the chart below. The Gambia and Afghanistan are just two more examples of countries with dramatic declines. I’ve also shown the change in rich countries on the chart it might seem that child mortality is no longer an issue in rich countries Their rates are very low and barely visible compared to many other countries It also looks like almost no progress has been made in the last 30 years: mortality was low and is still low But I think both of these conclusions are wrong. Countries in the European Union, Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom — the list goes on — have made childhood much safer in my own 30-year lifetime.1 It’s just something we rarely hear about I also don’t think that this is a “solved problem”; it is still too common for parents to see their children die and there’s a lot more that we can do to save their lives We have this perception because we compare countries by their absolute reduction in child mortality Many low- and middle-income countries have reduced these rates by 5 or 20 percentage points over the last 30 years that would be impossible for many richer countries: the child mortality rate in the European Union (EU) was around 1% in 1990 so the maximum reduction it could achieve in absolute terms would be one percentage point It’s only when we look at the relative reduction in child mortality that we see that rich countries have also made impressive progress The chart below shows these same countries — or groups of countries — plotted as the change in mortality rates since 1990 All of them have halved child mortality rates or more In the previous chart, progress in the EU looked a little underwhelming. But, in fact, rates have fallen by 69%. Even in Japan, one of the safest countries to be born in, child mortality rates have dropped by almost two-thirds. Those are not small reductions. Children are much less likely to die than they were in 1990. Before studying this data, I probably wouldn’t have guessed that if I had a baby today they’d have less than half the risk of dying in childhood than I did.2 It’s progress that we almost never see on the news I think it’s important to highlight this point for two reasons the idea that progress on health has stalled (or even regressed) in rich countries is But it’s not true: improved treatments and vaccinations developed by scientists and parents' choices have made things much safer for children even in the world’s richest countries These efforts were not for nothing: they’ve given kids a future and spared many families the pain of losing a child So it would have been wrong of us to accept or be happy with where we were in 1990, with around 1% of children still dying. I also think it would be wrong of us to assume that 0.5% is the level we should accept today; we know that we can save more lives.5 Many thanks to Max Roser and Edouard Mathieu for feedback and suggestions on this article Child mortality: an everyday tragedy of enormous scale that we can make progress againstWe live in a world in which ten children die every minute Mortality in the past: every second child diedThe chances that a newborn survives childhood have increased from 50% to 96% globally How do we know about the mortality of children in the past And what can we learn from it for our future I was born and still live in the United Kingdom where child mortality rates have fallen by over 50% since the early 1990s The annual average of 436 disaster deaths in this decade is similar to previous decades In 2021, there were around 18,800 homicide deaths in the United States 0.4% is the average in the European Union, and 0.6% is the rate in the United States Our articles and data visualizations rely on work from many different people and organizations please also cite the underlying data sources Hannah Ritchie (2025) - “Children in rich countries are much less likely to die than a few decades ago but we rarely hear about this progress” Published online at OurWorldinData.org Retrieved from: 'https://ourworldindata.org/child-mortality-rich-countries-decline' [Online Resource]BibTeX citation All visualizations, data, and code produced by Our World in Data are completely open access under the Creative Commons BY license provided the source and authors are credited The data produced by third parties and made available by Our World in Data is subject to the license terms from the original third-party authors We will always indicate the original source of the data in our documentation so you should always check the license of any such third-party data before use and redistribution All of our charts can be embedded in any site Charlotte Gehrke has explored the use of Arctic marine mammals in science communication and how these animals are utilized to convey broader issues related to the Arctic Arctic researcher Charlotte Gehrke incorporates her journalistic training into her research valuing science communication as a democratic project particularly in the current political and environmental situation.  Researcher Charlotte Gehrke is originally from Germany but her love of the Arctic and environmental policy has taken her all over the world in pursuit of knowledge where she concluded her PhD just last week Her thesis focused on Arctic marine mammals and their role in Arctic science communication and diplomacy "Everything boils down to one thing," she says to High North News "This is a beautiful place to take care of." Hannes Hansen-Magnusson with research on multilateral diplomacy in the Arctic kicking off a deep interest in all things Arctic but specifically Arctic science communication and diplomacy.  Together, they started the Arctic Relations blog in 2020 featuring scholarship and stories from the circumpolar North showcasing Gehrke's passion for science communication.  to film reviews and reports from Indigenous youths," she says enthusiastically adding: "We even have a story about Santa!"  The blog illustrates Gehrke's passion for science dissemination and how important it is not just to talk the talk Charlotte has explored the use of Arctic marine mammals (AMMs: polar bears and whales) in science communication and how these animals are utilized to convey broader issues related to the Arctic "These are all animals people think about when they think about the Arctic the animals they'd see in a David Attenborough documentary," she explains adding that they are referred to as charismatic megafauna meaning that they are species that are large in the category they represent and have symbolic value or widespread popular appeal "We use these species to communicate broader stories about the Arctic particularly concerning the effect of climate change," she says.  She found that one issue is the excessive reliance on images of these animals which creates a disparity between the reality of the Arctic and the media's image of it Indigenous peoples are being erased from stories about the Arctic "We have something called the National Geographic effect where we have these amazing charismatic species that are great to use to connect with people because everyone knows what a polar bear is and you can build on that connection," she says But the reliance on these animals makes people forget that people are living in these places She says that one of her interviewees even said that people care more about animals than they do about Indigenous peoples making the animal images a more powerful image when telling Arctic stories and influencing environmental policy The polar bear has long been the undisputed king of the Arctic. (Archive photo from Svalbard: Peter Prokosch) "We tie narratives so closely to polar bears that the first thing people think of when they think about climate change is a polar bear on a disappearing ice floe," she says "The danger is that some people use these animals to spread climate scepticism They say that polar bears are doing well in Svalbard the media's over-reliance on Arctic marine mammals has made them the symbol of climate change in the Arctic and some struggle to see beyond climate change's effect on these animals Practitioners need to 1) consider the human perspectives from which AMM-based communications are created and the lived realities and knowledges of local and Indigenous Arctic communities; 2) support local news reporting to facilitate authentic news coverage from the North about the North; 3) strengthen practitioner relationships to ensure the kind of transparent and open exchange necessary for successful science communication and diplomacy to occur; and 4) diversify flagship species playing on a broader cast of charismatic species representing the impacts of environmental crises to minimise the fallout of misinformation targeting specific flagship species Gehrke has also studied tourism in the Arctic region "We looked at what happens when a cruise ship comes to a community which often is a smaller community without the infrastructure to handle it," she says "Even though we have some regulations for tourism people involved in the tourism industry thought that there weren't enough regulations on how tourism operators were working in the Arctic Operators who didn't comply with certain safety standards were of particular worry." "People would tell us about whale-watching boats that would take on too many passengers and the dangers and implications that would have for search and rescue operations to take care of all the cruise tourists if something were to happen Gehrke emphasizes the value of science communication and says it is crucial not just to preach science communication "I have done office hours and Zoom rooms for people who have participated in my projects to explain the results in easy wording and not academic jargon." to explain these hoity-toity words and concepts such as science communication applications for science diplomacy," says the researcher.  She wishes more people would consider science communication as much a result of their research as peer-reviewed articles she recognizes that most researchers do not have much extra time to do this all projects would have science communications officers to help researchers disseminate their work who describe it as their duty to communicate to the public I think it's great when people have that awareness and want to live up to that expectation that they are in service of the public," says Gehrke.  It's great when researchers want to live up to the expectation that they are in service of the public When asked about the challenges ahead for science communication she says that one key issue is that science communication is increasingly expected without being increasingly funded with severe cuts in funding and limitations on research will also have implications for science communication there are now threats to freedom of research and research security I think we're seeing a chilling effect on science communication right now We see that people are not attending conferences or events as frequently as before and people are choosing their words extremely carefully and feeling unable to comment on many matters." "We saw some of the things we are in for in the last Trump term But now the hits are coming with an incredible force behind them," she says "We just had the conversation about how the Russian invasion of Ukraine will impact Arctic science and now we are having that conversation again." when asked about the most important message to convey about the Arctic now she refers to a quote from the children's story The Boy "There is so much beauty we need to look after." "We must always bring it back to the most important thing: care for this place explaining that she did not end up in this field by accident I didn't just decide to research the Arctic because I like polar bears High North News is not responsible for the content or opinions expressed on external web pages Editor in Chief:Trine Jonassen E-mail High North News Editor/Commentator: Arne O.

his four stocks in the team’s win against the Chicago Bulls were significant during the squad’s short but strong stint of play in the middle of March he’s an aggressive attacker at the glass and provided strong hustle for the team Martin struggled to shoot efficiently in his time with the Valley Shooting 35.1% from the field and 11.1% from deep but it’s fair to attribute that partly due to the two-month absence he had that started while he was still in Charlotte but he barely shot a third of that on less than two attempts with the Suns Martin is unlikely to crack the Suns' rotation if he’s on the team next season his salary and expiring contract can be used as a vehicle for the Suns to make trades with other teams The Suns appear to be trying to get under the second apro,n and Phoenix may not guarantee his contract as a result Was it the reason the Suns had a bad season But his play with the team was not strong enough to justify the Suns getting rid of a first-round pick just to get rid of Jusuf Nurkić Potentially if he returns next year and has a full training camp and is healthy This results in the location hosting some action-packed chaos but Valentina likely had to fork out the big bucks to turn the property into a battlefield how much did it cost her to buy Avengers Tower IGN spoke with New York City real estate maverick William T Cohen for an estimation of the skyscraper's value and let's just say Valentina probably needed Tony Stark-levels of wealth to buy it "The metric by which we would measure the value would be price per square foot there's nowhere where they safely tell you whether it's a million square feet So we're kind of shooting in the dark here but I would say one could easily assume that the Avengers Tower would sell for a billion dollars or more based upon the look of it The tower's real-life counterpart is the Metlife Building which was valued at around $3 billion as recently as 2024 it's entirely possible that the MCU location would have cost Valentina significantly more than the figure Cohen is throwing around but let us not forget that property values change all the time is that the Avengers' old base has more perks than other buildings in the Big Apple Cohen noted some other pros and cons associated with buying a building like the Watchtower which is a neat perk as helipads were banned in New York City in 1977 This law was introduced after a tragic crash into the Metlife Building — then called the Pan Am Building — in May of that year while having the helipad could be advantageous for folks it would also require the building's proprietors to pull some serious strings with city officials but there are probably insurance issues associated with this particular MCU building due to all of the battles that have happened there in the past While it's a fabulous location and it's terribly prestigious how would you feel about being a tenant in Avengers Tower We first visited Avengers Tower in 2012's The Avengers with the skyscraper returning in Avengers: Age of Ultron three years later by the time Spider-Man: Homecoming swung into theaters in 2016 Tony Stark had decided to sell the building It being emptied by Happy Hogan was a major plot point in the reboot with The Vulture attempting to steal Iron Man's many dangerous weapons during Homecoming's final act Spider-Man ultimately thwarted his sinister plan Avengers Tower has since been teased in the MCU though Marvel Studios has stopped short of revealing who purchased the building While the Fantastic Four and Mephisto have been named as likely possibilities Thunderbolts* confirmed that Valentina Allegra de Fontaine and O.X.E were the ones who bought the building from Iron Man That was for the "good optics," and so the company would have somewhere to base its Sentry program So, how much did Val pay for Avengers Tower? IGN caught up with several experts which owns and invests in several million square feet of NYC real estate He has four decades of experience and is a big Marvel Comics fan and believes Avengers Tower would have demanded an asking price of $1.1 billion "The metric by which we would measure the value would be price per square foot," Cohen explained there's nowhere where they safely tell you whether it's a million square feet "So we're kind of shooting in the dark here Cohen doesn't expect such a sale to have been an easy process perhaps explaining why The Avengers' former base stood empty for so many years "It would be very challenging to buy property insurance for Avengers Tower if you were a conventional investor don't occupy the entire building," Cohen pondered "While it's a fabulous location and it's terribly prestigious or do they ride with the conventional tenants?" he continued "If you really built Avengers Tower in the middle of the city idiosyncratic considerations one would have to take into account." Val renamed Avengers Tower the "Watchtower" and started adding to the skyscraper in a way that paid homage to The Sentry's Watchtower that sat above the team's base in the comics How much the building will evolve after that memorable post-credits scene remains to be seen 1) 0ms;transition:background-color 150ms cubic-bezier(0.4 1) 0ms;transition:fill 120ms cubic-bezier(0.4 1) 0ms;font-size:inherit;}.css-v4v4rs{-webkit-user-select:none;-moz-user-select:none;-ms-user-select:none;user-select:none;width:1em;height:1em;display:inline-block;fill:currentColor;-webkit-flex-shrink:0;-ms-flex-negative:0;flex-shrink:0;-webkit-transition:fill 120ms cubic-bezier(0.4 1) 0ms;font-size:inherit;}@media (min-width:0px){.css-v4v4rs{display:block;}}@media (min-width:1100px){.css-v4v4rs{display:none;}}.css-mps3fk{-webkit-user-select:none;-moz-user-select:none;-ms-user-select:none;user-select:none;width:1em;height:1em;display:inline-block;fill:currentColor;-webkit-flex-shrink:0;-ms-flex-negative:0;flex-shrink:0;-webkit-transition:fill 120ms cubic-bezier(0.4 .css-az13ih{width:100%;aspect-ratio:3/2;border:none;}One NFL coach told Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer that Shedeur would be a sixth-round pick if he wasn't the son of Deion NFL insider Josina Anderson reported a quarterbacks coach said that the passer was "brash" and "arrogant" in pre-draft interviews CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones also reported that teams felt Shedeur didn't "give it his all" during interviews and "more or less sandbagged" meetings with teams he didn't want to be selected by The 23-year-old will now look to rise above his draft position and attempt to earn Cleveland's starting quarterback job in training camp The dreary weather continued Monday and is expected to last into Tuesday around the New York City area with a lot of rain and cooler temperatures As a lingering area of low-pressure parks itself over the Ohio Valley rounds of showers and thunderstorms are likely to persist through at least Wednesday A First Alert Weather Day was issued for Monday and lasted into the evening The rain earlier in the day was heavy at times totaling up to 3 inches in some areas and fueling fears of localized flooding Additional periods of heavy rain are likely to persist from Monday night into Tuesday Up to 4 inches of rain is probable between Monday and Tuesday with some locations possibly receiving higher amounts which have the potential to finally wipe out the existing drought across the Tri-State Area a return to more seasonable readings is anticipated for most of the week Click here to check the latest conditions.  Vehicles lose value the more they are driven there are Cybertruck owners who appear to have thought they were buying money-printing machines someone actually flipped and sold a limited edition Foundation Series Cybertruck for nearly twice its MSRP at $244,000 The Cybertruck's value wasn't meant to last The controversial truck from a controversial company run by a controversial man is subject to the law of gravity of depreciation as much as the next set of wheels how much has it depreciated since the first geometric truck hit the streets We reported in 2024 that the overall Cybertruck depreciation curve is really quite poor. Now, CarGurus is showing even more of a drop in the past year from April 28 Cybertruck prices went from $168,543 down to $84,470 — a 49.96% decline Digging in a little further, according to TopSpeed the average depreciation for all cars across three years (longer than the Cybertruck has even been out) is just 30.5% That puts the Cybertruck's near 50% decline in the last year in the far bottom tier for the category By contrast, according to Kelly Blue Book KBB also says that the 2023 model of the great-granddaddy of all pickups has dropped a mere 33% in the same amount of time the Cybertruck has been around Predicting where prices will be in a few years is a bit tricky here the Cybertruck is too new to have hard data on how it usually performs over the long term TopSpeed estimates that it will fall by 59.5% in five years Those numbers aren't surprising given the current state of the company's sales There are more storm clouds on the Cybertrucks' horizon, too, and they don't look good for resale value. Thanks to a recall earlier this year, we know that Tesla has only delivered around 46,000 Cybertrucks to date While that number doesn't look too bad in a vacuum CEO Elon Musk was initially claiming that he had over a million preorders for these low-res-looking trucks Worse, Tesla dealerships appear to be sitting on over $200 million worth of Cybertruck inventory that they just can't shift Word is that things have deteriorated to the point where said dealerships won't even take Cybertrucks — their own vehicles — as trade-ins anymore for fear they won't be able to sell them again and pushing it down further is the simple fact that Tesla keeps slashing the price of new Cybertrucks down to around $75,000 for a base model from an original price of $100,000 Furthermore, the fact that political backlash against Musk's handling of the federal government bureaucracy has led to vandalism against Teslas, and particularly Cybertrucks If a potential buyer is worried that a Tesla might be a target they're not likely to buy a used one for a high price There are plenty of viewing options for fans hoping to follow along at home considering NBC will be broadcasting live starting at 2:30 p.m ET and streaming will be available on Peacock But what if you have a spare Lily Pulitzer dress lying around and would like to attempt a last-minute trip to the legendary racetrack Here's how much you're looking at for a ticket: If you'd like something a little bougier, try an Infield Final Turn General Admission ticket, which is similar to the GA ticket but offers a private, standing room only area in the Final Turn of the Infield.

While they made no big moves in free agency, they did draft two defensive linemen, including one in Round 1. Derrick Harmon should be an immediate starter whom they released in March after three seasons remains the nucleus of the Steelers’ defensive line While he played at an All-Pro level last season everybody is waiting for the other shoe to drop but he also played the entire year—when “healthy”—compromised due to injury the Steelers don’t have much in the way of proven defensive line commodities Keeanu Benton still remains largely in the “promising” category “They’re all in on their 36-year-old future Hall of Famer, and then young guys. And all the guys in between, these guys they accumulated in the draft, are just kind of there”, Fittipaldo said of the Steelers’ defensive line on 93.7 The Fan what have they done in the NFL to make you think they’re even gonna be rotational players I’ll go slightly better just because of the pedigree of Harmon you’re counting on rookies and a 36-year-old” The Steelers reportedly hoped to make a significant defensive line signing in free agency but were presumably outbid. According to Gerry Dulac, they wanted Javon Kinlaw $45 million contract with the Washington Commanders instead the Steelers made two small signings on the defensive line They added Daniel Ekuale and Esezi Otomewo both of whom will compete for depth in the room That’s partly because they knew that the quality of the position was high in the draft For the first time in decades, the Steelers drafted two defensive line prospects in the first five rounds. In Round 1, they added Derrick Harmon, as previously mentioned, a likely immediate starter. Later, they double dipped in Round 5 with Yahya Black. They subsequently released veteran Montravius Adams, possibly indicating Black will play nose tackle But the Steelers still have Leal and Isaiahh Loudermilk in their defensive line room, as well as Dean Lowry and 2024 sixth-round pick Logan Lee. Lee spent his rookie season on the Reserve/Injured List, so this will be his first full opportunity to make the Steelers’ 53-man roster. Black will also have to earn a roster spot in what is becoming a crowded group Quis autem vel eum iure reprehenderit qui in ea voluptate velit esse quam nihil molestiae consequatur Temporibus autem quibusdam et aut officiis debitis aut rerum necessitatibus saepe eveniet We use ads to fund this site and continue to bring you premium Steelers content If you like what you see on this site, we now have an ad-free option available for a donation of $25 per year and you can enjoy the site entirely ad-free Additionally, if you'd like to donate above and beyond the ad-free option, you can donate via PayPal as well Everything you need to know about Rayan Cherki's salary details playing for Lyon Lyon attacker Rayan Cherki is regarded as one of the hottest prospects in Europe right now thanks in large part to his impressive performances this past season Cherki made his first-team debut at just 16 years old after spending nine years in the club's youth academy The French star initially signed a three-year contract with Lyon in 2019 which he later extended in 2022 for an additional five years Cherki is considered one of Lyon’s most important players and ranks among the top earners at the club GOAL delved into the numbers with Capology to find out exactly how much he is on The PGA Tour is heading to Pennsylvania for the 2025 Truist Championship. Formerly the Wells Fargo Championship, the Truist is at Philadelphia Cricket Club, as the normal host site, Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina, is hosting the PGA Championship next week. Most of the PGA Tour's best are heading to Philly, including defending champion and world No. 2 Rory McIlroy, though CJ Cup Byron Nelson winner Scottie Scheffler is taking a week off before the year's second major championship. Being a signature event, there's a massive purse up for grabs this week. The purse is $20 million, same as the other signature events on the PGA Tour. The winner will receive $3.6 million, or 18 percent of the total purse. The top three finishers will clear seven figures. Last place earns $36,000. Most of the Met Gala red-carpet looks are custom, worked on until the last minute, and provided courtesy of the designer. However, conglomerate-owned fashion houses have the infrastructure, money, and people to handle something of this scale. For independent designers, the stakes are higher — not only because most attendees choose to wear marquee brands, but because the process itself is more arduous, constrained by limited resources like time, money, and staff. For Charlie Casely-Hayford of Casely-Hayford, the price of designing a famed fashion editor’s Met Gala look was equivalent to that of their highest level of bespoke tailoring — which costs around £5,500 (about $7,000). “As an independent brand, it is a significant outgoing,” he said. “When you’re doing things at speed, everything becomes more costly.” Still, the process opened up creative territory they hadn’t explored before. “Maybe I can write it off as R&D,” he added, half-joking. “It’s a real investment, between materials, travel, labor, fittings, and everything else. We’re still calculating but we are very well within the five-figure range. And, for us, that’s all out of pocket. No sponsors,” said Anifa Mvuemba of Hanifa. For independent designers, saying yes to the Met Gala means putting time, labor, and money on the line — often without knowing what the return will be. But each of them had their reasons for taking the risk. Below, we spoke with the five independent Black designers — Saunders, Mvuemba, Dynasty and Soull Ogun of L’Enchanteur, and Casely-Hayford — about what this year’s Met Gala means for them and what it cost them to get to this milestone career moment. Founded: 2018Based in: LondonDressing: One person for the red carpet, others for afterparty looks and surrounding events. For London-based designer Saunders, the inspiration was dandyism, ranging from the 16th century up to the Congolese Sapeurs, a fashion subculture that emerged in the 19th century. Saunders is dressing one person on the red carpet, and various after-party looks, but this is only her second time doing so (the first time was in 2023, when Usher wore one of her looks.) With a focus on menswear, she brought her craft of hand-knit stitching to the look. Founded: 2011Based in: Washington, D.C.Dressing: One person for the red carpet The Congolese American designer Mvuemba — who is designing a Met Gala look for the first time — was also inspired by the Sapeurs, or “La Sape,” as she called the subculture. “It’s been a pillar of our culture — especially in how Black style shows up with pride, precision, and flair,” she said. “I wanted to honor that legacy while still celebrating the power and form of the women’s body.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hanifa (@hanifaofficial) Mvuemba knows visibility can’t pay the bills — but it can shift a narrative. She’s hoping the Met leads to more than just press: “I want real investment. Real doors opening. Real belief.” This moment, for her, is a bet on long-term growth, not just attention. Founded: 2017Based in: New YorkDressing: Six people; some will wearing be custom looks, while for others they will be customizing items they already have in their studio View this post on Instagram A post shared by L'ENCHANTEUR : TALISMANS (@l_enchanteur) The twin designers Dynasty and Soull Ogun founded their conceptual jewelry-and-clothing brand L’Enchaunteur in 2017 with Dynasty owning patternmaking and sewing and Soull owning casting but this will be their first time creating pieces for the Met Gala They were inspired by their father: “He came to the United States from Nigeria in the early ’70s So we took those influences or those inspirations and were able to translate them into the things that we were doing anyway,” said Dynasty the requests haven’t stopped — not even in the final stretch With some requests coming in months in advance and others arriving just days out the process has been a mix of custom and reworking existing pieces from their archive “We have a substantial amount of pieces already made,” Dynasty said “So if something works with a client’s look it has to be really simple at this point.” They’ve done one fitting so far and have another coming up with most designs requiring two to three in total fabrics — to refine or elevate existing designs “We’re trying to leave ourselves the brain space not to feel overwhelmed.” They see the Met as a rare space where multiple worlds — fashion That kind of convergence doesn’t happen anywhere else.” This kind of moment pushes a brand creatively it’s meant working with people who specialize in structural shaping and draping — techniques they’ve wanted to explore but hadn’t before now It also opens up room to bring new collaborators into their orbit “We’ve been able to expand employment and finally work on things we’ve had in mind for a while.” Founded: 2009 Based in: LondonDressing: One person Designer Casely-Hayford’s aesthetic has always been about honoring his father who was known for blending traditional Savile Row tailoring with London streetwear they founded their namesake menswear brand and this will be the first time he is dressing anyone for the Met Gala “The outfit reflects my dad’s era as well as mine and the final garment reflects that,” he said not monolithic; it can mean different things to different people But I can think of a number of Black dandies I feel more closely aligned to for whom that isn’t so much the case there is an understatement to their relationship with aesthetics It was about us finding this kind of beauty in restraint.” the process followed a traditional bespoke structure — just on a tighter timeline He and his client and their stylist went through four fittings in London starting with a loosely assembled version of the garment that could be pulled apart and reworked as needed the look moved through a series of refinements: canvassing all handled by a small team of specialists “We’re doing it in about half the time we normally would,” he said was compressed into six weeks and involved around 80 hours of labor Fabric selection required its own round of trial and error with some materials reintroduced from earlier collections to get the right balance of structure and ease where Casely-Hayford plans to hire a small team to help with any last-minute tweaks when Black British designers had no visible path forward “He pushed through so many barriers,” he said during an exhibition that honors Black dandyism feels like a full-circle moment “The Met marks the next chapter of progress — where other voices can finally break through.” My dynasty league held its annual rookie draft over the weekend I like to present the recap here for people to see how one group of 12 teams viewed the incoming class If you have your own rookie draft coming up I understand a lot of dynasty leagues are SuperFlex with the result being that quarterbacks go early and often there really wasn't a lot of love for the position so tight ends get 1.5 points per reception so theoretically you can start 3 tight ends per week rookie tight end Brock Bowers was the 8th-highest scoring non-quarterback I mention this in part so I'll catch less heat for my first-round pick If you have the top pick and for some inexplicable reason don't want to select Jeanty trade that pick for a bounty you'll surely get but that probably only means he'll be more of a centerpiece -- runs There are three reasonable candidates for the No But Hampton is the other clear workhorse back in this class and shouldn't take long to push Najee into a secondary role (one-year contract for him McMillan and Hunter can and will be debated Hunter is the unicorn who I'd pick if I knew he'd play full-time as a wide receiver McMillan doesn't have as good a quarterback 1 right away and the kind of guy who will make Bryce Young look better I am aware the Jaguars say Hunter will start out with the wide receivers I think you only trade up to take him at No 2 overall if you're planning on playing him both ways and that has to mean he'll be held out of some offensive packages That mild concern from a fantasy perspective with Hunter he goes to a team with little else at the position and my current TEs are Dallas Goedert and Cole Kmet which was fine last year but not so much this year and since I have Kmet I suppose Loveland would be the wiser pick Ian said here the other day he'd give the edge to Loveland (younger The lone negative I see with him is Chicago's crowded receiver situation and the fact that we know Warren can be a featured receiver because he's done it But a tough choice and I'll continue to second-guess I like Henderson and Judkins as the next two backs Henderson should push Rhamondre aside by next year Just kind of looks like a poor man's Najee they've sent some good wideouts to the NFL lately right?) and the landing spot I also like Golden but would not have taken him there (Packers are fickle with wideouts and have so damn many of them); I was pretty pleased to get Harvey Should be Sean Payton's starter pretty quickly I was hoping Burden would make it to me at 2.04 Chicago's crowded receiver situation has been noted but I think they'll find ways to get him touches as both receiver and out of the backfield Love Rome Odunze but being the wide receiver the new coaching staff presumably wanted counts for something Skattebo a big producer at Arizona State and only has Tyrone Tracy to beat out Fourth-round draft capital at least suggests some NFL reservations about his future as a starter Chalk pick would have been Harris over Bech But I'm not sure how many wide receivers the Chargers can support and just like Bech's game a little better More than one Cooper Kupp comparison (good blocker Also a sucker for the feel-good story about him writing a letter to his older brother (killed in the New Orleans terror incident on New Year's Day) but in dynasty I do tend to favor players I have a soft spot for I was originally picking at 2.12 in this draft Three players I definitely would have taken there -- Tuten the combine star and Jacksonville's running back pick who just broke a lot of receiving records for the position who might be New England's long-term top wideout -- were drafted right before me so I traded out of the pick for an extra third Williams was literally the last player I liked a lot And the other QBs drafted were third-rounders but New Orleans has an old starter and Chicago doesn't necessarily have a guy the new coaching staff likes he was taken almost three rounds after the same team took Judkins Bryant was discussed here in a story by Ian Sean Payton compared him to Michael Thomas which is certainly a plus but also the kind of thing you might say about a wide receiver who's slow But Denver has Courtland Sutton and otherwise an open starting spot There are a multitude of wide receivers in this draft named Jaylin or Jayden or Jalen Three tight ends who were selected I haven't mentioned yet Ferguson (Rams) could replace Tyler Higbee a year from now while Arroyo (Seahawks) could do the same with Noah Fant but would have taken Fannin in the 2nd and considered one of the others in the third Who is the lowest-drafted quarterback to start and win a Super Bowl Kurt Warner wasn’t drafted at all;

my ninth year competing with my two very savey adult children and their 11 regulars to make it a 14 team draft with a $200 bid limit Your SuperFanatic package has put me into the 6 team play- offs 4
