Tuesday on MS NOW’s “Deadline,” Gov. JB Pritzker (D-IL) said President Donald Trump was “guilty of inciting violence.” Pritzker said, “Let’s start with what Donald Trump is really after here: weaponizing the DOJ to go after his political enemies.

The U.S. Supreme Court will review on Wednesday President Donald Trump’s decision to end the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) quasi-amnesty awarded to Haitian migrants by former President Joe Biden. The amnesty covers roughly 330,000 Haitians who either sneaked across the border or were allowed to enter despite their “inadmissible” status. Trump’s deputies say Congress’s law grants the President complete authority to award or end the TPS legal status, which grants work permits to migrants. One potential complication is that swing-voting Justice Amy Coney Barrett has adopted two children from Haiti. Pro-migration groups say the poor migrants need protection from their…

Retirement is a transition, not the finish line. You shift from accumulation to distribution and management, with new risks that may have as much to do with how much you’ve saved as with how your system is structured. This is where many plans fall short. People focus too much on balances and overlook alignment. As you near retirement, reviewing key areas such as cash flow, withdrawal strategy, debt and tax exposure…
