But the “Sell America” trade was muted Monday, with US stocks recovering initial losses and closing higher. The Dow gained 86 points, or 0.17%, to close at a record high, recouping losses after falling almost 500 points earlier. Stock market investors for now are shrugging off the Justice Department’s investigation into Powell. Fed independence is considered a cornerstone of what makes US financial markets exceptional. Markets had brief moments of panic in 2025 as Trump openly criticized Powell, calling him “too late” and questioning the Fed chief’s ability to run the central bank.

Fox argues the Kuvshynovs signed a release waiving their right to sue and moved to dismiss the complaint. “When the Kuvshynovs signed the waiver and release, they were unrepresented, had just learned their daughter died, and were living in an active war zone,” Rosado wrote. In addition to wrongful death, the Kuvshynovs and Thomson claim that Fox committed fraud, intentional infliction of emotional distress, defamation and tortious interference. Neither a spokesperson for Fox News or its attorneys in the case responded to requests for comment. The court allowed the parents’ wrongful death claim to move forward under Ukrainian law.

Gavin Newsom on Friday doubled down on California’s commitment to electric vehicles with proposed rebates intended to backfill federal tax credits canceled by the Trump administration. The plan would allocate $200 million in one-time special funds for a new point-of-sale incentive program for light-duty zero-emissions vehicles. Last year, Trump ended federal tax credits of up to $7,500 for EV customers that were part of President Biden’s 2022 Inflation Reduction Act. In September, his administration also let lapse federal authorization for California’s Clean Air Vehicle decal program, which allowed solo EV drivers to use carpool lanes. That is exactly why California needs climate investments that are stable and ongoing,” said Sierra Club director Miguel Miguel.

Why Golden Globe winner Noah Wyle wanted ‘The Pitt’ to ‘put the spotlight back on first responders’In the press room, Noah Wyle spoke about how the seed for “The Pitt” was planted as he watched the American healthcare system attempt to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. “I called John Wells and said, ‘I know you don’t want to do “ER” again, and I don’t either, but there might be another story to tell about what’s happening,’” he said. The Golden Globe winner added that as he filmed “The Pitt,” he realized the stark difference between the healthcare experiences of the country’s upper and lower classes. The latter, he said, “were getting some of the worst medical information given to them.”“So whether it was medical misinformation or a boarding crisis or a nursing shortage or morale fatigue,” Wyle said, “we wanted to put the spotlight back on first responders, talk about what they’ve been going through for the last five, six years, and, you know, in doing so, hopefully also come up with some remedies that we can improve the system and better support the people that are in those jobs.”
