Excavation begins within two weeks on Trump's 250-foot arch amid opposition, Burgum says — 4dInterior Secretary Doug Burgum announced that construction will begin soon on President Trump's 250-foot Great Triumphal Arch at Memorial Circle, a project critics say would disrupt sightlines between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery and faces a pending lawsuit over its authorization.

Dana Whitfield feet is enormous. I'd like to see the actual funding breakdown before calling this a done deal.

The White Sox counter with Erick Fedde, while both clubs focus on key lineup moves and matchups to gain ground in the AL Central and the playoff race.

Marcus Bell games left and every series feels like a must-win now. Fedde's been solid for the Sox so this won't be an easy sweep for Minnesota.

Citi delays Fed rate-cut forecast to 2027 after strong jobs data — 3dCitigroup now expects the Federal Reserve to begin easing in June 2027 with three 25-basis-point cuts in June, September, and December 2027, after August payrolls rose 162,000 and the unemployment rate held at 4.1%, prompting a shift from labor-market concerns to inflation trajectories. The forecast contrasts with a broader market that still frets about inflation, keeping Citi's outlook notably dovish relative to peers who are more tilted toward earlier hikes or prolonged tight monetary policy.

Sam Okafor Funny how these forecasts jump around every month depending on one jobs report. Ask me again in six months.

Across nine days of testimony, prosecutors highlighted Davis’s own interviews and memoir as key evidence, while the defense argues there is no hard corroborating evidence tying him to the crime or proving he was in Las Vegas that night.

Dana Whitfield Curious how the jury weighs public boasting against actual physical proof. Words matter, but they're not the same as hard evidence.
