Donald Trump's advisors say he's is "very upset" that Rudy Giuliani was indicted, Maggie Haberman told CNN. Giuliani was indicted alongside Trump in Georgia on Monday night over their attempt to overturn the 2020 election. "One of the ironies right now in the situation around Donald Trump is you will hear some of his advisors say 'He's really upset that Rudy got indicted,' or, leading into this, 'He was really worried about Rudy,'" Haberman told Collins. "But not so worried that he was going to pay Giuliani's legal bills," Haberman said. "According to my reporting, it was Trump who didn't want Giuliani paid unless Giuliani delivered on his promises, and obviously that didn't happen," Haberman said.

But giants in the beverage industry that use aspartame, including Coca-Cola and Pepsi , are so far unfazed. Because the WHO didn't change the consumption limit on aspartame products, the new findings aren't likely to threaten soft drink makers, according to Citi analyst Filippo Falorni.

In 2022, only 21.3% of the population of people with disabilities was employed, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Here are a few reasons this population's employment rate remains low and what employers can do to ensure they are hiring equitably. First, this population faces various biases that prevent employers from hiring them. For others, it's about the bottom lineWhile considering applicants from the pool of people with disabilities, employers might assume their employment could get expensive. In fact, accommodations for people with disabilities typically cost just $500, according to the Society for Human Resource Management.

▼ + stars: | 2023-07-27 | by ( Jacob Zinkula | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

A new study finds that an Ivy League degree doesn't meaningfully increase a graduate's future income compared to attending a good state school. Americans are debating the merits of affirmative action and legacy admissions at Ivy League schools. While attending an Ivy League school only increased students' future income by 3% on average, the researchers found that it boosted any one student's chances of reaching the top 1% in income at age 33 by 59%. So while attending an Ivy didn't meaningfully boost students' odds of making more money on average, it did boost their odds of getting super-duper rich. Age 33 income levels were projected using a student's current income and data on their employers and graduate schools.

Putin has reinforced his National Guard with elite special forces, arming them with tanks and warplanes. The move is seen as making the Kremlin "coup-proof," an analyst told The Telegraph. The National Guard, created by Putin in 2016, has 320,000 men and reports directly to him rather than the Ministry of Defense. An MP for Putin's United Russia party Alexander Khinshtein said that Putin has personally ordered the Interior Ministry's 7,000-men-strong Grom special forces unit to move under its command. "Putin is straightening the special forces' command and control after Prigozhin's mutiny," he said.

He's one of the country's "grumpy stayers": workers who are reluctantly staying put in a cooling labor market. Grumpy stayers are in some ways the next iteration of quiet quitters, rattled by layoffs and fewer opportunities. In other words, grumpy stayers might be feeling left behind, with salaries lagging behind those of their peers who've departed. No room for improvementA theme across grumpy stayers is that they don't want to be grumpy, but work conditions make them that way. One solution, she said, would be for companies to engage with their grumpy stayers and lean more on their expertise to solve problems.

Fission vs. fusionWhile fission and fusion are both key components of nuclear technology, the two processes are very different — and central to the plot of "Oppenheimer." The hydrogen bomb — promoted by Lewis Strauss, a member of the US Atomic Energy Commission — relies on fusion, making it far more powerful than the atomic bomb. Oppenheimer led a group of physicists who advocated for the United States to export radioactive isotopes to researchers abroad. However, Strauss pushed back while serving as chair of the US Atomic Energy Commission, advocating for a US monopoly on the materials. He argued that exporting them would be the equivalent of sharing nuclear information, an act forbidden by the 1946 Atomic Energy Act.

A spokesperson for Donald Trump said Thursday that they would send the ceramic oil lamps back. Trump slammed Jewish voters when presented with the lamps in 2021, a Republican donor told The Wall Street Journal. The Journal on Thursday shed new light on the long, strange tale of a collection of ceramic oil lamps that traveled from Israel to Washington, DC, to California, and Florida over the course of four years. The oil lamps were never publicly displayed at the White House, however, due to a State Department inspection into the items that ran long, Fox told The Journal. Trump, however, responded with a passionate outcry, according to Fox, who said the former president slammed his hand on his desk.

In a post on Twitter as parliament convened, Pita appealed to his rivals to vote according to the will of the people. In the first vote last week, Pita was 51 votes short and was backed by only 13 of the 249 senators, many of whom abstained or were no-shows, effectively votes against him.
