The Fed's preferred inflation gauge shows prices rising at fastest pace in 3 years The Personal Consumption Expenditures index — the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation measure — rose at a 4.1% annual rate in May, highlighting the central bank's challenge in reining in prices. The reading matched economists' forecasts for the PCE report to come in at 4.1% annually, according to financial data service FactSet. That compares with an annual increase of 3.8% in April, and represents the highest level since April 2023. Core PCE, which strips out volatile energy and food prices, rose 3.4%, slightly higher than the 3.3% forecast by economists. The Iran war reignited inflation by driving up oil and gasoline prices, leaving American drivers paying the highest...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

"The vast majority of the chips are going to the AI buildout and the data center revolution we're seeing," Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives told CBS News. "That's [fewer] chips for these regular consumer devices. That just further drives up prices." On Thursday, Apple and Microsoft each said they were hiking prices on core products, including iPads, certain MacBook models and Xbox consoles, as strong demand for chips drives up the cost of electronic device components.

Israel moves to formally recognize Armenian WWI deaths as a genocide Israel's Cabinet unanimously approved a proposal on Sunday to designate violence against Armenians by the Ottoman Empire during World War I as a genocide. The step, which still needs approval in Parliament, reflects deteriorating ties between Israel and Turkey. Turkey has fiercely lobbied to prevent countries from officially recognizing the mass deaths of Armenians around 1915 as a genocide, even as Armenians have pushed for it. Historians estimate that up to 1.5 million Armenians were killed by Ottoman Turks around the time of World War I, an event widely viewed by scholars as the first genocide of the 20th century.

Supreme Court sides with Monsanto in case over cancer risks from weedkiller Roundup The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that Monsanto cannot be held liable under state laws for failing to warn consumers about the alleged cancer risks of its weedkiller Roundup on its label. In a 7-2 decision in the case Monsanto Co. v. Durnell, the high court found that a federal law regulating the sale and labeling of pesticide products bars lawsuits in state courts alleging that Monsanto failed to include a cancer warning on Roundup's labels. The Environmental Protection Agency has deemed Roundup safe to use and does not require a cancer warning on its label.

Why LeBron James should sign with the Minnesota Timberwolves LeBron James is currently a free agent, and despite the mountains of speculation piling up around him, it's hard to imagine anyone really knows what he's going to do. That might even apply to him. The reporting thus far has indicated that he has welcomed pitches from teams around the league. While a few expected favorites have emerged, enough teams seem to believe that they have a realistic chance of signing him that it's reasonable to assume he's going into this process with an open mind. So what is he looking for? When James decided to return for a 24th season, a source familiar with James' thinking told ESPN that he wanted to play "meaningful, competitive basketball." We can assume, for the sake of argument, that this rules out noncompetitive teams. Being able to win...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, a Republican, had deployed the Guard to support the effort.

"We are operating at margins that are 3-10x lower than comparable platform and publishing businesses."

The Euclid space telescope has spotted the oldest quasars — the brightest objects in the universe — ever discovered, deepening a cosmic mystery that has been puzzling scientists. Quasars are powered by supermassive black holes at the heart of early galaxies gobbling up surrounding matter in a colossal feeding frenzy that can shine trillions of times brighter than the sun. Because they are so incredibly bright -- and looking deep into space also means looking back in time -- scientists have been hunting for ancient quasars to learn more about the little-understood infancy of the universe.

At stake is one of the most closely watched and heavily contested Senate races of the year, as national Democrats seek to deny Republican Sen. Susan Collins a sixth term. Platner is under immense pressure to drop out of the race from the Maine Democratic Party and top national Democrats, and a vow from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee not to invest in Platner.

The Treasury Department said that "General License X," which was issued two weeks ago as part of an interim peace deal between the U.S. and Iran and exempted Iranian oil sales from U.S. sanctions, would be superseded by a narrower waiver called "General License X1."

"He was on a nasty, dirty ground in front of a store," recalled Sonja Smith, who is enraged about the circumstances that led to her husband's heart failure. "He didn't deserve to die like that." Problems started last year when the couple learned the monthly premium payment for their Federal Employees Health Benefits plan would more than double to $307 and their deductible would also go up. They decided to switch Blackman's primary coverage to CHAMPVA, a health benefits program for dependents of disabled veterans, which had no premium and a $3,000 deductible.

Devastation, agony and hope: What we saw in Venezuela after the deadly earthquakes The stench in the coastal Venezuelan community of La Guaira is an impossible one to forget, even nearly a week after returning to the United States. It was an overwhelming combination of debris, smoke and death. The twin earthquakes that rocked Venezuela within a minute late last month led to catastrophic levels of destruction, leveling entire areas in La Guaira, a city once known for its port and beaches but that resembled a war zone during our visits. The quakes also caused tremendous human loss, killing and injuring thousands of Venezuelans, leading to tens of thousands of reported disappearances and displacing many others. We saw residents of La Guaira use their hands to lift debris and materials in apartment buildings that had...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Jet fuel prices have dropped. Why are plane tickets still so expensive? Jet fuel prices are finally easing after soaring during the Iran war. But airline passengers shouldn't expect cheaper tickets anytime soon, as strong travel demand and the recent collapse of Spirit Airlines keep fares elevated, according to air travel experts. Lower fuel costs would normally ease pressure on airfare prices. Yet analysts say airlines have little incentive to cut fares while demand remains strong and industry capacity has shrunk following Spirit Airlines' shutdown. Air fares are also remaining elevated due to what economists call the "rockets and feathers" effect: Prices shoot up quickly when costs rise, but tend to drift down more slowly when those costs ease.

Yes, you read that correctly. After the defeat, Liberty coach Chris DeMarco let loose on the officials for an "atrocious" and "pathetic" performance down the stretch. The Liberty, who were on the second day of a back-to-back and entered Sunday's contest having lost six of their last eight games, fell behind by as many as 20 late in the third quarter, but...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Common knee surgery may do more harm than good: "I don't know how I would defend this procedure" An arthroscopic knee surgery. Thousands of Americans who undergo a common knee surgery might be making their problems worse rather than better. Researchers who followed patients for 10 years after they received either the actual procedure, arthroscopic knee surgery to trim degenerative cartilage tears, or merely "sham surgery" — a skin incision — for knee pain, found that the surgery provided little or no benefit and was, in fact, associated with accelerated osteoarthritis and higher rates of reoperation. That generally meant a total knee replacement. "I don't know how I would defend this procedure at all," said one of the study's authors, Teppo Järvinen, an orthopedist and head of the Finnish Centre for Evidence-Based...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Military action against Iran formally restarted last week, Trump told lawmakers President Trump formally notified Congress that "military action" against Iran restarted last week, according to a letter obtained by CBS News on Monday, as a monthslong ceasefire comes to an end. Military action "commenced on July 7," the president said in a message dated July 10 and addressed to Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the Senate's president pro tempore. The letter was sent after Mr. Trump declared the U.S.-Iran ceasefire "over" and ordered several rounds of strikes on Iranian targets, in response to Iranian attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz last week.

Discovery, posing a new challenge to the $110 billion deal that would unite two of the nation's largest media companies. Attorneys general from the 12 states, led by California Attorney General Rob Bonta, claim that the merger would harm competition in the movie industry and result in lower pay and fewer job opportunities for industry professionals. The states also argue that the merger would hurt consumers by driving up cable package and movie ticket prices and offering fewer news and entertainment choices.

More than a quarter of working-age adults who relied on credit cards to buy groceries were either unable to pay their balance in full or missed their minimum payment, according to the Urban Institute, a nonpartisan think tank. About one in 10 adults relied on so-called "buy now, pay later" loans to cover their groceries — of those, about a third missed a payment last year, the analysis found.

He later died from his injuries. DHS said ICE agents encountered the man while "conducting targeted surveillance on the last known address of an illegal alien with a final order of removal."

The bill comes after last month's annual Social Security trustees' report projected that the program's retirement trust fund could become insolvent by 2032, earlier than initially forecast. If that occurs, it would trigger a 22% across-the-board benefit cut, unless Congress acts before then, the report found. The legislation, called the Promise Act, would not itself raise taxes, reduce benefits or change eligibility.

Genser announced late Wednesday that Karari is now free, writing that she is "safe and traveling back to the United States." Karari was under an exit ban, which means that Iranian authorities refused to let her leave, but did not have her imprisoned. She was never formally charged by Iran.

The move has surprised many observers who credit the outgoing cabinet with Ukraine's recent successes in countering Russia's ongoing full-scale invasion. Zelenskyy says the changes are aimed at preparing Ukraine for another difficult winter and strengthening relations with key foreign partners.

Pentagon proposes new secrecy power to withhold unclassified records from public-access laws The Pentagon is asking Congress for broad new authority to withhold unclassified records from the public, a proposal that transparency advocates say could significantly reduce the public's ability to scrutinize the nation's largest federal agency and understand how billions of taxpayer dollars are spent. The legislative proposal seeks to create a new section of federal law allowing the defense secretary to exempt certain "controlled unclassified information," or CUI, from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act if the U.S. military determines the records concern national defense vulnerabilities and concludes that the harm from disclosure outweighs the...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

And I was running around the site trying to look for answers but those answers never came."

U.S. to impose 25% tariffs on Brazilian imports over unfair trade practices, White House says The United States is imposing 25% tariffs on imports from Brazil after finding a range of what it deemed unfair trade practices by the world's 10th-biggest economy. The tariffs, which were first proposed last month, will take effect July 22, according to senior Trump administration officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the action ahead of a formal notice posting Wednesday night. The order exempts some goods that are not produced in the U.S. or that officials worry would disrupt supply chains. Exempted products include coffee, beef, oranges and orange juice, some oil and gas energy products and aerospace parts and components.

'The Odyssey' review: Christopher Nolan's new movie is an unexpected spiritual sequel to 'Oppenheimer' Christopher Nolan's adaptation of The Odyssey, a story adapted so many times and in so many different ways that it's hard to imagine finding a fresh way in, has far more in common with his Best Picture-winning Oppenheimer than you'd think. Maybe we should've taken that movie opening with a quote about Prometheus stealing fire from the gods a bit more seriously! The Odyssey delivers everything you'd want from an epic of this size and scale, and then some. But it also functions as a spiritual sequel to Oppenheimer, continuing Nolan's psychological examination of men reflecting on their roles in destructive moments that changed the...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Military planners have in recent weeks examined a range of options for possible action against the island, including an Army-led air assault involving thousands of U.S. soldiers to be carried out by the 101st Airborne Division, the only unit trained for such a task, according to multiple U.S. officials with knowledge of the discussions.

The amendment — which was introduced by GOP Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, who has consistently opposed foreign aid — would have eliminated $3.3 billion in assistance to Israel. Massie submitted the amendment to the annual State Department appropriations bill that the House passed later Wednesday. The amendment failed in a 104-314-10 vote, with 103 Democrats voting in favor, 98 voting against and 10 voting present.

Hegseth said all service members over 30 will be screened as part of their regular health assessments, and that younger ones will have the option of being tested to ensure that they "have the right testosterone levels to operate at your absolute best." If they are recommended for treatment, they'll have the option to receive testosterone replacement therapy.

Mississippi homeowners blame a noisy data center plant for sleepless nights. The mayor's advice? "Consider selling." It was 4 a.m. on a Sunday and 46-year-old Jason Haley was once again wide awake. The suburban silence that Haley had grown used to in his two decades as a resident of Southaven, Mississippi, had, for the last few months, been replaced by a constant whirring, like an airplane hovering over his home, he said. The noise keeping Haley awake was coming from a plant powering Elon Musk's xAI data centers in the area, according to a lawsuit filed in June against the company and its subsidiary, MZX Tech. Haley and two other Southaven residents, who live within a mile of the plant, allege in the suit that "near-constant" noise and vibrations are causing negative physical and psychological health effects.

The Common Cents Act, a response to the phase-out of the penny that lets businesses round cash transactions to the nearest nickel, was passed by the House of Representatives on Tuesday and now moves to the Senate for consideration. It would create rounding guidelines for businesses and consumers to lean on for cash transactions when they do not have exact change on hand. Currently, establishments are vulnerable to litigation if they fail to provide customers with exact change, even when they round up in a patron's favor. Business advocacy groups praised its passage on Tuesday.

Foreclosure filings surged 21% this year. Here are the states where they are rising fastest. Foreclosures across the U.S. ballooned in the first half of the year, a sign of the increasing financial strain facing the nation's homeowners. Foreclosure filings reached nearly 228,000 from January to June, up 21% from a year ago and 28% from two years ago, according to data released Thursday from real estate data company ATTOM. Rising foreclosure rates indicate that more homeowners are in financial distress, Rob Barber, CEO of ATTOM, said in a statement. Homes go into foreclosure when the owner falls behind on mortgage payments, often due to extenuating life circumstances such as a job loss. ATTOM defines foreclosures as default notices, scheduled auctions or bank repossessions. The states with the biggest jumps in...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

The 2023 Collective Bargaining Agreement has made NBA finances tighter than ever, with teams far less willing to hand out pricey, long-term deals than before. All told, the expectation on merit would have been for Trent to get only a minimum or near-minimum deal.

DOJ says it's no longer illegal to download TikTok on federal devices The Justice Department determined this week a federal law banning TikTok from government devices no longer applies to the social video app. The written opinion from the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel — an office that offers legal advice to the executive branch — was issued six months after TikTok's U.S.-based operations were shifted to a new joint venture mostly made up of American investors. The social network's prior ownership by Beijing-based ByteDance, which still holds a minority stake, had drawn years of national security concerns and caused TikTok to face a looming nationwide ban.

Moscow has in recent weeks stepped up its use of ballistic missiles as it seeks to choke off Ukrainian strikes on oil facilities deep inside Russia that have caused critical fuel shortages affecting both the military and the civilian population. President Trump has said he is prepared to grant Ukraine licenses to produce Patriots, the most effective means of intercepting Russian ballistic missiles, potentially bolstering Kyiv's defenses.

"Due to the complexity in detection of Cyclospora, FDA laboratory experts re-reviewed the sample results and have concluded that the finding does not represent true amplification and should be considered a false positive," the FDA said.

FBI shifts immigration agent cases to HSI after recent fatal shootings, sources say The FBI will no longer participate in investigations into cases involving alleged assaults on immigration agents, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter. The federal law enforcement agency would instead be deferring such investigations to Homeland Security Investigations, the sources said. The FBI field offices were informed of the change on Thursday, according to the sources. HSI is an arm of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, both of which are overseen by the Department of Homeland Security, meaning the immigration enforcement agency would effectively be investigating incidents involving its own agents.

She was set to be a model at New York Fashion Week in September 2025, so she had spent the past several months focusing on her physique. She knew her body well, and she knew what a bump like this might mean. McCullough, then 39, wanted to get it checked out, but getting care was harder than she expected: A mobile mammogram provider turned her away because she wasn't 40, when the American Cancer Society recommends women start receiving regular mammograms. She had to get a referral from her primary care provider, but the wait for an appointment was long.

Iranian state TV When an Iranian missile hits its intended target, it's because U.S. air defenses either failed to intercept it, or failed to even see it coming in the first place. "One leaked through," is how Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the Iranian attack on an air base in Jordan that killed two U.S. soldiers and left one missing in action on Friday.

Ford recalls nearly 388,000 Explorers and Aviators over seats that could unlatch or tip Ford Motor Company is recalling nearly 388,000 vehicles due to an issue with the second-row seats that could increase the risk of injury. The recall affects certain 2020 to 2027 Aviator and 2020 to 2026 Explorer vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said in the recall notice that the defect could cause the seats to unlatch, tip or slide unexpectedly. "A seat that moves unexpectedly may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury," NHTSA said. All of the cars being recalled likely have the defect, according to the recall documents. As of June 16, Ford's Critical Concern...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

Judge temporarily halts Paramount-Warner Bros. Discovery merger A U.S. district judge temporarily halted the Paramount Skydance-Warner Bros. Discovery merger on Monday, after a coalition of states sued to block the deal. The temporary restraining order will remain in effect for 14 days, with a hearing set for Aug. 3. The states' lawsuit "presented compelling evidence that the combined firm resulting from the transaction will possess substantial market share in the wide-release theatrical distribution market," California district judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín wrote in the ruling. "On this combined firm market share alone, the Court is persuaded that it can presume the proposed merger is likely to violate antitrust laws." "Paramount...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

More Americans report shoplifting as inflation climbs, survey finds Thirty percent of Americans say they've shoplifted this year, up from 24% in 2024, with many citing financial strain tied to inflation, according to new research from financial site LendingTree. About 90% of those who admitted to shoplifting cited affordability concerns and the broader economy as among the drivers of their thefts, according to the LendingTree study, which surveyed 2,000 people in early June. Inflation has accelerated this year, largely because the Iran war has sent oil and gasoline prices sharply higher. LendingTree said respondents who reported stealing were often taking necessities rather than discretionary items. "These findings show how deeply...more Go top of page Go bottom of page |

The U.S. labor market may soon face a new crisis: Too few workers Even as many workers are fearful that artificial intelligence could endanger their jobs, there's a potentially bigger employment crisis on the horizon: a severe labor shortage that is set to emerge over the next 10 to 15 years, according to a leading demographer. Demand for young workers is going to "explode" during that period, leaving employers with a shortage of qualified workers, according to Steven Ruggles, a professor of history and population studies at the University of Minnesota, and the creator of the Integrated Public Use Microdata Series, or IPUMS, the world's largest and most widely used population database.
