▼ + stars: | 2024-01-21 | by ( Richard Galant | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +19 min

“My fellow Americans, our long national nightmare is over,” President Gerald Ford said. “Our campaign is the last best hope of stopping the Trump-Biden nightmare,” the former UN ambassador said. If not, it won’t be as protracted a “national nightmare” as the two-year-long Watergate scandal that put Gerald Ford in the Oval Office. Though, depending on your point of view, the real nightmare could begin after the swearing-in. Yet, John Avlon wrote, Trump and some members of the House GOP, want to tank an emerging compromise in the Senate that would couple border security measures with aid to Ukraine.

The challenges unique to the queer community are present year-round. "David and I like to say that 80% of personal finance is the same for everybody. That's the finance in personal finance," he says. "But the other 20%, which is the personal side of personal finance, is based on our backgrounds, our histories, our socioeconomic status, race, creed, segmentation, all of that." Here are three unique financial challenges queer people face, and how LGBTQ-focused financial planners say they can overcome them.

Instead, they had $51,000 in credit card debt and a lease on a basement apartment in Denver, Colorado. But one line item proved particularly shocking: interest charges from their credit card balance. It took the Auten-Schneiders less than three years to pay down $51,000 in credit card debt. Courtesy of Debt Free GuysThe couple used a 0% balance transfer to eliminate interest payments and stopped using credit altogether. Nearly everything they saved, they funneled toward paying down their credit card debt.

Prosecutors alleged Danchenko provided false information to the FBI in 2017 when the agency was trying to verify information in a dossier detailing Trump’s alleged ties to Russia that was compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele. The largely unsubstantiated dossier was used by the FBI to support its surveillance of former Trump campaign aide Carter Page. Millian has denied being a source of information for the dossier. When asked by the FBI whether he had talked to Dolan for the information, Danchenko said he had not. Trump had called the dossier fake news and evidence of a political witch hunt against him.

Danchenko, a Russian citizen, was sent by Steele to search for material on Trump, The Times said. The Mueller report contained passing references to some of the allegations in the dossier.
