In breaking news, President Joe Biden has officially nominated Christy Goldsmith Romero as the next chair of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). This announcement follows current FDIC Chair Martin Gruenberg’s declaration of intent to resign once a successor is confirmed by the Senate, in light of a recent independent investigation revealing widespread sexual harassment, discrimination, and bullying within the agency. Goldsmith Romero, a Democrat, previously served as the special inspector general for the Troubled Asset Relief Program at the Treasury Department during the aftermath of the Great Recession. Her responsibilities included overseeing efforts to combat banks’ misuse of funds…

Trade deals have played a significant role in shaping the global economy, with the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) signed in 1948 being one of the early milestones in this regard. The formation of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in 1995 further formalised the process of continuous negotiations aimed at reducing trade barriers and promoting international cooperation. One of the fundamental principles of the WTO is the “most-favoured nation” clause, which requires countries to extend any favourable trade terms granted to one nation to all other member nations. However, in recent years, the global trade landscape has undergone…

This week marked the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the historic invasion that signaled the decline of fascist power in Europe. However, former President Donald Trump’s recent conviction for falsifying business records has led to him accusing Americans of living in a “fascist state,” as he continues to promote baseless conspiracy theories about President Joe Biden orchestrating his legal troubles in Manhattan. While academics and experts had previously debated whether Trump’s leadership style resembled fascism, the events of January 6th at the US Capitol prompted a shift in perception. With Trump’s loyal supporters dismissing other contenders for the Republican presidential nomination,…

In recent news, the Republican National Committee has been under scrutiny for spreading false claims about the 2020 election. A scripted call was sent out to voters’ phones on behalf of new co-chair Lara Trump, alleging that Democrats committed “massive fraud” in the election. This marks a significant shift in messaging for the RNC, as such lies were not a consistent theme in their communications since former President Donald Trump left office. The call claimed that there were issues with photo IDs, unsecured ballot drop boxes, mass mailing of ballots, and voter rolls containing deceased individuals and non-citizens. It warned…

In recent news, former President Donald Trump has been attempting to frame Democrats as the “true radicals” on abortion policy. However, in his efforts to do so, he has made inaccurate claims. During a Fox News interview, Trump falsely stated, “Hard to believe, they have some states passing legislation where you can execute the baby after birth. It’s crazy.” Fact-checking reveals that Trump’s claim is unfounded. No state has passed or is passing a law that permits the execution of a baby after birth, as killing a person after birth is illegal in every state. Legal scholars have debunked Trump’s…
