The FTC issued long-awaited rules requiring companies to display the full price of a hotel room, concert ticket or sporting event up front to customers, rather than hiding any extra charges — often called “junk fees” — until the very end of the checkout process.

The Senate is on track to confirm 235 of President Biden’s judicial nominees — more than Trump got through in his first term. To get there, Senate Democrats still need to keep working for the next 10 days to confirm the outstanding nominees or Trump will fill those vacancies with MAGA loyalists.
