It’s a sad, sad state of affairs when the Republicans refuse to negotiate at all and leave us all footing the bill with higher prices and worse care.

What Are Stablecoins?
You can use stablecoins, which are pegged to the dollar, to buy things online or send money abroad with minimal fees — and they are subject to very little legal oversight.

Donald Trump just ended a rule that required airlines to compensate you for delayed or canceled flights.
Why?
Maybe because the airlines donated big bucks to Trump. Or maybe because the Secretary of Transportation used to be an airline lobbyist.
Either way, you lose.
