As concerns about whether the pace of progress in reducing inflation has slowed, a measure of wholesale prices increased more than anticipated in November, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said Thursday. In comparison to the Dow Jones consensus projection of 0.2%, the producer price index, or PPI, which gauges what producers receive for their goods at the final demand stage, grew by 0.4% for the month. PPI increased 3% annually, the largest increase since February 2023. But when food and energy were taken out of the equation, the core PPI rose by 0.2%, as predicted. Additionally, the PPI increase was only 0.1% once trade services were subtracted. Additionally, the 3.5% year-over-year gain was the most since February 2023. In other economic news on Thursday, the Labor Department announced tha...

In separate lawsuits filed Thursday, three men accused Sean Diddy Combs of sexual assault and rape. They claim the rap mogul assaulted them while they were unconscious after giving them tampered beverages. Attorney Thomas Giuffra filed the anonymous cases in the New York State Supreme Court, citing events that occurred between 2019 and 2022. They all claim that Combs sexually abused and raped them.

The two powerful Trump allies who have been granted broad authority to suggest up to $2 trillion in federal spending cuts do not share the political concern of some of President-elect Donald Trump's most vulnerable Cabinet picks, who are rushing to erase or soften previous remarks before acrimonious Senate confirmation battles. The disparity highlights a crucial division that characterizes Trump's universe as it gets ready to seize control of the federal government. In the weeks since winning the election, the new president has been getting ready to fill important administrative positions with well-known conservative media personalities who have skillfully leveraged that environment to support his right-wing policy recommendations. However, some of those Cabinet picks are now being forced ...

Washington According to a long-awaited Justice Department inspector general report issued Thursday, the FBI did not take the "basic step" of gathering intelligence from its field offices prior to the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. According to the inspector general's office, FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate told investigators that the absence of a canvas was a "basic step that was missed" and that he would have expected it to have happened. The FBI "recognized the potential for violence" and took "significant and appropriate steps" despite having "only a supporting role in preparing for and responding to" the events of January 6, according to the inspector general. Additionally, the report contains information that would most likely bolster the "fedsurrection" narrative th...

According to a recent complaint, an 80-year-old woman passed away a month after her Sleep Number Bed unexpectedly moved and imprisoned her against a wall for two days last year.

Despite making lowering grocery prices a central platform of his campaign, President-elect Donald Trump is admitting that it might be challenging. But in an interview with Time magazine, which named him 2024's Person of the Year, Trump stated that he still thinks supply chain improvements and cheaper energy prices will make it possible. When asked if he believes his presidency will be a "failure" if grocery costs don't decline, Trump said it won't, while criticizing the present administration for its handling of inflation, which first caused food prices to rise. "They got them up, you see. I want to take them down. Once something is up, it's difficult to take it down. In the interview that was released on Thursday, he stated, "You know, it's very hard." However, I believe they will. That e...
