The first deadline is April 1 of the year after you turn 73, and Dec. 31 for future withdrawals. Pre-tax retirement withdrawals incur regular income taxes. Two required withdrawals in one yearIf you wait until April 1 after turning 73 to take your first RMD, you'll still owe the second one by Dec. 31. That can trigger unexpected tax consequences, according to CFP Abrin Berkemeyer, a senior financial advisor with Goodman Financial in Houston.

Tarrio also said he would not speak about the Proud Boys’ being in Washington on Jan. 6.

The price of bitcoin soared past the long-awaited $100,000 benchmark for the first time ever late Wednesday evening. The appointment could fulfill Trump’s most important campaign promise to the crypto industry: to replace Gary Gensler, who has become something of a villain in crypto for the agency’s regulation-by-enforcement approach to the industry under his leadership. In recent years, however, the industry has demonstrated the value of bitcoin to much of the institutional investing world. Bitcoin had been widely expected to reach the landmark $100,000 level since the U.S. presidential election. However, excited investors sent bitcoin closer to this mark much sooner than initially anticipated; it rose as high as $99,849.99 on Nov. 22.

WASHINGTON — Tech billionaire Elon Musk and conservative activist Vivek Ramaswamy on Thursday began in-person discussions with congressional Republicans about ways they could slash federal spending and regulations once President-elect Donald Trump takes office. Musk and Ramaswamy traveled to Capitol Hill for a series of meetings with House and Senate members. Musk has repeatedly faced questions about potential conflicts of interest in advising on the federal budget. Musk and Ramaswamy are seeking individuals with business backgrounds with an interest in “gutting bureaucracy” to fill those roles. Musk has shown a willingness to consider cuts to some of the federal government’s most popular programs including Social Security.

Instead, Casar said Democrats should change course by redirecting such attacks and accusing the GOP of fueling culture wars to district voters from their agenda of helping the rich get richer.

WASHINGTON — House lawmakers are expected to vote Thursday whether to compel the Ethics Committee to release its report on an exhaustive, yearslong investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla. Two Democrats — Rep. Sean Casten of Illinois and Steve Cohen of Tennessee — on Tuesday offered resolutions focused on the Gaetz report. But no Republicans have stated they want the report released, arguing that the Ethics Committee only has jurisdiction over sitting members of Congress — not ex-members. House Democrats tried to do the same thing in September 1996, pressing the Ethics Committee to release a report from an outside counsel about its investigation of then-Speaker Newt Gingrich, R-Ga. The Ethics Committee released an initial staff report the following December examining allegations that Boner misused campaign funds, failed to disclose gifts and accepted bribes.

AP —The District of Columbia sued Amazon on Wednesday, alleging the company secretly stopped providing its fastest delivery service to residents of two predominantly Black neighborhoods while still charging millions of dollars for a membership that promises the benefit. Amazon also did not tell new customers about the exclusions when they signed up for Prime memberships, the lawsuit says. The lawsuit says Amazon has nearly 50,000 Prime members who live in the two ZIP codes, a number that represents nearly half of the population. The district says that in 2021, before Amazon implemented its delivery “exclusion,” more than 72% of Prime packages in the impacted ZIP codes were delivered within two days. Meanwhile, the district’s lawsuit says Prime members who lived in other parts of the city received two-day deliveries 75% of the time.

Other judges have reversed retirement plans after electionsA handful of judges in recent years have also reversed retirement plans when they have not been able to secure a preferred successor, including US District Judge Karen Caldwell, a judge who sits in McConnell’s home state. Cogburn and Marbley are also not the first judges to back off retirement plans after an election. As McConnell himself highlighted, a district judge did the same about-face after President George W. Bush’s reelection in 2004, and another changed his retirement plans when Obama won in 2008. CNN’s messages seeking comment from the two judges submitted with the judges’ courts were not returned. But, Wheeler said that McConnell “may be having the effect he wants” if the two appellate judges are “wavering” about whether to keep to their retirement plans.
