CNN — President Donald Trump is using false claims to promote his massive domestic policy bill. In a White House speech on Thursday, Trump falsely claimed Medicaid is “left the same” by the bill. In fact, both the version of the legislation that was narrowly passed by the House in May and the latest version now being contemplated by the Senate contain major Medicaid policy changes and funding cuts that are expected to result in millions of people losing insurance coverage. Trump also falsely claimed that the bill includes “no tax” on Social Security benefits. The legislation would not actually…
CNN — A large sum of riches descended upon Venice, Italy, over the last few days for the lavish wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. Opulence has been on full display as some of the famous attendees arrived at the canal city by private planes, helicopters and yachts before they were whisked away on water taxis to ferry them to the festivities. Pinpointing the combined wealth of this closely guarded guest list would be a painstaking and exhausting exercise but an estimate of their total net worth would likely be in the neighborhood of $435 billion. Much of the…

It’s OK, you can admit it. It’s just us, don’t be embarrassed. If you’re a casual fan, you probably knew close to nothing of most of the non-European teams in the Club World Cup unless they were from your region, with the exception of Inter Miami (because, well, Lionel Messi).LAFC: Isn’t that the team David Beckham played for? (No, that’s the other team from Los Angeles, the Galaxy … the one with the two World Cup winners.)Urawa Red Diamonds: That’s from Super Mario, right? (No, they’re from Japan and draw almost as many fans per game as Chelsea or Juventus.)Ulsan…
Jeffrey Bland, 79, is considered the “father of functional medicine.” He’s devoted most of his lifetime to studying the origins of diseases to focus on prevention in healthcare.The main question Bland’s research looks to answer is this one: “Could we move to a form of healthcare where we’re spending more time worrying about and focusing on how to keep a person from being sick than just treating the sick downstream?”In 1991, he launched the Institute for Functional Medicine with his wife, Susan, to build off of the research he did under two-time Nobel Laureate Linus Pauling at the Linus Pauling Institute of…
As a real estate broker of 10 years, working with clients whose budgets range from $300,000 to $3 million, I can confidently say that there is no perfect house.Many buyers begin their home search with a long list of “must-haves” and “nice-to-haves.” This is a great starting point, but you can quickly get stuck in the weeds. The real clarity comes once you begin touring homes in person, because that’s when you start to truly understand what you need versus what you want. But no matter the budget, location, or market conditions, every home comes with trade-offs. The key is knowing…

Now it’s up to Congress to decide whether President Donald Trump’s signature’s domestic policy package will become law.Trump told Republicans, who hold majority power in the House and Senate, to skip their holiday vacations and deliver the bill by the Fourth of July. Senators were working through the weekend to pass the bill and send it back to the House for a final vote. Democrats are united against it.Here’s the latest…

CNN — President Donald Trump’s push to pass his massive agenda in the Senate is hanging by thread as GOP leaders barrel toward a critical vote this weekend that, as of midday Saturday, was still short of the support to pass. Just hours after Senate Majority Leader John Thune informed senators they would take a critical first vote on Saturday, a key GOP senator warned he would vote against proceeding to the package unless there are major changes – and several other holdouts are uncertain on how they’ll land. That warning shot came from Sen. Thom Tillis, a North Carolina…
