If you say these six phrases to yourself or others on a regular basis, you're mentally stronger than most:It's all too easy to feel the opposite. Mentally strong people remind themselves of this to bolster their confidence muscle. It's a cornerstone of being mentally strong. Mentally strong people focus on what they still have in the face of adversity, and what possibilities now present themselves.

"This has been a problem for years, if not decades," said Saurav Ghosh, director of campaign finance at the Campaign Legal Center. Filings show President Joe Biden recently used donations from the Democratic National Committee to pay lawyers in a classified documents case. For personal legal matters, such as Trump's New York business fraud case, experts say the use of political donations is prohibited. With an additional three criminal cases awaiting trial dates, Trump's legal costs are expected to continue mounting. In the week following the trial, Trump's team and the RNC reported having raised $141 million during the month of May, bolstered by millions raised in the aftermath of the verdict.

The nation's central bank is once again leaving interest rates unchanged as it works to lower inflation. On Wednesday, the Federal Open Market Committee announced that it's holding its key interest rate benchmark steady in a range of 5.25% to 5.5%, continuing the pause that first began in September last year. The Summary of Economic Projections, released alongside the FOMC's interest rate decision, penciled in just one rate cut for 2024. "This housing-related inflation is directly driven by high interest rates: reducing rates will reduce the costs of renting, buying, and building housing, lowering Americans' single highest monthly expense," they wrote. "Lowering interest rates will likely also decrease the cost of auto insurance as well, which has risen due to factors completely unrelated to the cost of lending."
