The bond market’s been a mess lately. Yields kept climbing, making everyone nervous because borrowing cash got pricier. But, hey, things might be looking brighter.

Sometimes you just need a little push. For American Eagle, Sydney Sweeney was that push. She’s the actress from Euphoria and The White Lotus, and she became the face of their campaign.

The Jeffrey Epstein story just won’t go away. Even though some people might want it to, it’s still in the news. Now, Donald Trump is back in the spotlight. This week, Trump answered questions about Epstein by calling it a Democrat trick, just another way for them to attack him. But for Epstein’s survivors, that felt like another blow.

A federal appeals court blocked his idea to use a law from 1798 to deport Venezuelan migrants who he claimed were connected to gang activity. Yes, it’s an old law. It was from a time when people wore wigs and wrote constitutions by hand. Now, over 200 years later, it’s the main point in a big immigration fight. But the court disagreed with Trump. This decision could change more than just immigration rules. It might decide if presidents can use old laws to fix…
