Russian President Vladimir Putin didn’t even have to wait until the 2024 election and Trump’s possible return to the White House to have cause for celebration. Trump’s congressional toadies quickly fell into line even before they saw the border bill. There’s talk of a separate bill of aid for Ukraine, but Trump’s supporters have echoed his skepticism. For Putin and his regime, no amount of champagne would be enough to do justice to the significance of that win.

But as the ramifications of Alabama Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville’s freeze have grown, more of them are speaking out. Political Cartoons View All 1163 ImagesBut now even the Pentagon’s soon-to-be highest military leader is speaking out. It's not the first time general officer promotions have been frozen by a single senator. Six months into Tuberville's hold, 315 military officers are now affected, and the impact cuts deeper in some services.

Goldman Sachs, known for being a top Wall Street money maker, is gearing up to invite a select group of employees to join its most exclusive club. Goldman partners are considered the most powerful people at Wall Street's most successful bank for M&A and IPOs. In 2020, Financial News quoted an anonymous former Goldman Sachs executive who described it as an exclusive club that opens doors both inside and outside the bank. "Random people will infer characteristics about you — integrity, commercial acumen, intelligence, teamwork — simply based on the fact that you are, or were, a Goldman Sachs partner," this person was quoted as saying. Do you work at Goldman Sachs or do you have additional details about who will make partner this year?
