In keeping with his pledge to encourage the use of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, President Donald Trump declared Thursday that his administration will consider the possibility of establishing a "national digital asset stockpile."

Kennedy Jr., Trump's candidate for secretary of health and human services, spoke about it at the annual Bitcoin conference. In a December...

(That involves using an ahumidifier and drinking a lot of water.) However, not every lip hydrator is made equally: Making sure you are using the right kind of lip care is one of the most crucial things, according to board-certifie...

President Donald Trump issued additional executive orders on his third day in office with the goal of closing the southern U.S. border to immigration and increasing deportations, though as of Wednesday afternoon, large-scale deportation sweeps had not yet taken place. Trump signed an executive order that prohibits foreigners involved in an invasion of the United States across the southern border from physically entering the country, according to a White House fact sheet.
