Firefighters from coast to coast are battling wildfires even as the country begins to prepare for the holiday season, with fires in New Jersey covering thousands of acres in tinderbox conditions created by a historic drought. It's inevitable that this fire is going to continue to burn up until it reaches our control line," New Jersey Forest Fire Service Chief Bill Donnelly said at a news conference Sunday. In New York State the total is 60 wildfires covering 2,100 acres in the same timeframe. One blaze, the Hill Fire in Burlington County, has been burning since July 5, he said. There was some rain across the tri-state area Sunday night, but less than half an inch, the National Weather Service in Mount Holly said.

JPMorgan is testing a generative AI "copilot" within its private bank, a move that is already saving advisors a couple of hours a day. AdvertisementHow Donnelly's team drives innovation in the private bankJPMorgan's private bank caters to clients with at least $10 million in assets. The unit's $974 billion in assets are managed by just over 3,500 client advisors. When the CEO of JPM's private bank tapped an advisor with little to no technical experience to lead digital product for his division, it was intentional. He didn't "want the individuals that are deciding the advisor experience and client experience not to sit amongst the front-office users," she said.

Among other claims, Santos said he had degrees from New York University and Baruch College, despite neither institution having any record of him attending. In recent days, Santos has apologized for "embellishing" his resume, while defending aspects of the way he had represented himself.
