After killing the government funding bill on Wednesday and hurtling the government toward a shutdown, Trump and Musk dined at Mar-a-Lago with Bezos, who has an icy history with Trump. The CEOs who have met with Trump have come in with a clear strategy, people familiar with the meetings told CNN. President-elect Donald Trump is driven from the Trump International Golf Club in a convoy of vehicles on December 20, 2024 in Palm Beach, Florida. Many of the visits have served as introductory meetings, with Trump and the CEOs having never had personal ties before. A source briefed on the meeting told CNN that Trump told the executives over dinner that he wanted to “destroy” the PBMs.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that infants consume only breast milk — no formula — until they are about 6 months old. But at that age, just 56% of US babies consume any breast milk, according the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But for some women or birthing parents, exclusive breastfeeding or chestfeeding is simply not possible because of inadequate supply. “It is personalized.” Studies suggest that breastfed babies have lower risks of illness and chronic health problems, and that breastfeeding parents have lower risks of maternal diabetes and hypertension. “We have a long way to go.”The Lactation Network is privately held and doesn’t have external investment, Neff said.

Mr. Anh is the chef and owner of Mosu, South Korea’s only three-star Michelin restaurant, where his exacting and uncompromising standards have served him well. Yet, despite reaching the pinnacle of the culinary world, Mr. Anh was not a household name in the country. “Culinary Class Wars” feels like “Iron Chef” meets “Survivor.” It manufactures a class struggle, pitting renowned chefs against undiscovered talents like a school cafeteria cook. But the breakout star was Mr. Anh, 42, and now he is everywhere. It has been a remarkable homecoming for Mr. Anh, who emigrated with his family to America as a teenager almost three decades ago.

Elon Musk has been a constant companion to President-elect Donald Trump as Trump meets with foreign leaders — an ever-present personality at Mar-a-Lago since November, even accompanying Trump to Paris on his first foreign trip since winning the election. Musk’s interactions with world leaders alongside Trump are raising questions about the tech leader’s potential influence on U.S. foreign policy over the next four years and the potential for conflicts of interest, Washington insiders say. Since 2014, Trump has traveled to China at least eight times where he had meetings with senior Chinese officials. Asked about Musk’s influence on foreign policy, a former U.S. intelligence official told NBC News: “I’m more concerned about conflicts of interest. Musk has previously expressed an interest in affecting the trajectory of foreign affairs, which could further affect his dealings with world leaders.

New York CNN —President-elect Donald Trump’s favorite barometer of his success — the stock market — had been humming since his reelection. The market’s strong reaction shows that the Fed, ultimately, could weigh more heavily on markets than Trump’s policymaking going forward. And just like that, the post-election stock market rally has been almost entirely erased. “Powell just reminded us that nothing in life comes easy,” Callie Cox, chief market strategist at Ritholtz Wealth Management, told CNN, referring to recent gains the stock market has seen. Of course, stock investors knew all this.

But for Disney to so readily retreat from a free speech fight before Trump is even in the White House? CEOs from tech and media have been practically tripping over one another to make their pilgrimage to Mar-a-Lago since Trump won reelection last month. Still, it’s silly to suggest that Iger and Disney are somehow immune from the Trump Effect. Sure, Iger isn’t jetting down to Palm Beach like his fellow CEOs to dine with the incoming president. Bottom line: Iger isn’t going to kiss the ring quite as transparently as some of his peers.

In a searing resignation letter, Freeland, a longtime Trudeau loyalist, effectively accused him of promoting frivolous policies that would leave Canada badly exposed to Trump. !”With Trump, trade is a win or lose gameThis is vindictive behavior from the leader of a great nation toward its biggest trading partner. Trump also shattered political unity north of the border that has been critical to Canada’s approach to relations with Washington in the past.

The CDU/CSU this time around will be led by Friedrich Merz, and the SPD by the incumbent but deeply unpopular chancellor, Scholz.

CNN —Sen. Mitt Romney, a frequent Donald Trump critic who will soon retire from Congress, stood by his criticism of the president-elect’s character but said Trump and his MAGA movement now define the Republican Party. “MAGA is the Republican Party and Donald Trump is the Republican Party today,” he said. During Trump’s first impeachment trial, Romney was the only Senate Republican to find him guilty of abuse of power. Asked whether he is worried that he or his family could become targets for political retribution by Trump, Romney said, “No, actually, I’ve been pretty clean throughout my life. “Look, the Republican Party has become the party of the working-class, middle-class voter, and you’ve got to give Donald Trump credit for having done that, taking that away from the Democrats,” he said.

“He is one of, if not the, best cornerbacks in college football and he’s a 1,000-yard receiver, it’s incredible.”Hunter’s unique ability to create an impact on any given snap is what has separated him from the rest of college football during the season. “He’s the best player in college football,” Sanders said after the Buffaloes’ 52-0 win over Oklahoma State. Nobody could deal with him on either side of the ball,” Sanders added. I don’t know where I would have been at if I went to Florida State,” Hunter said on The Pivot. “It would be remarkable, but he’s done it for 12 games a year in college and college football has limits on how much guys can practice – 20-hour-a-week limits.

Part of why Charli, Roan and Carpenter are so magnetic is because their music wasn’t made for everyone. Charli, Roan and Carpenter take the same approach to their music. Enter Charli, Roan and Carpenter. But the candid, confident music these pop stars make is meaningful during this turbulent moment, Errico said. “They’re building a new army for a newly perilous time, while also having a blast.”The future of pop, Murphy says, is tipping toward honest excess.
