Ted Cruz in the 2016 caucuses, but voted for Trump in November 2016 and again in 2020.

"Change is scary," Shankar said in a recent TED Talk. And when we experience a change that we wouldn't have chosen for ourselves, it's easy to feel that our lives are contracting, that we're more limited than before." If you struggle with rigidity when faced with uncertain circumstances, ask yourself these three questions, Shankar suggested:How might this change improve what you're capable of? Focusing on the opportunities you might gain — rather than what you could lose — can help you better adapt to unexpected challenges. But adapting to change can be a crucial life and professional skill — and practicing self-reflection can help you become more open to uncertainty, said Shankar.

Americans held over $1 trillion in credit card debt in the second quarter of 2023, a new record. The rise in credit card debt helped push total household debt to a record-high $17.06 trillion. For the last seven quarters, credit card balances have grown year over year amid strong consumer spending despite high prices. Despite these record-high credit card balances, there are some silver linings. Are you dealing with an untenable amount of credit card debt, or worried about student loan payments restarting?

CNN —A federal grand jury reconvened on Tuesday for the first time since handing up an indictment last week against former President Donald Trump related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. CNN spotted grand jury members at the federal courthouse in Washington, an indication that the investigation into election interference is not over. In the Trump indictment, prosecutors refer to six unnamed co-conspirators, raising questions about whether they also could face charges in the case. On Monday, Bernie Kerik, a longtime Giuliani associate who coordinated with him after the 2020 election, met with investigators at the special counsel’s office. Kerik spoke with investigators about Giuliani’s efforts to try to uncover election fraud in 2020, according to his attorney Tim Parlatore.

REUTERS/Quinn GlabickiA White House spokesperson said Biden "continues to support moving away from the use of private detention facilities in the immigration detention system." One facility evaluated as part of the Biden administration review was Stewart Detention Center, a Georgia lockup operated by the private prison company CoreCivic (CXW.N). The administration has scaled back immigration detention in some ways. ICE often pays to maintain a fixed number of beds at detention centers regardless of whether they are actually used. But just six months later, the company signed a contract to reopen the same complex as a 1,900-bed immigration detention center.

Snag a 0% balance transfer credit card"My top tip is to sign up for a 0% balance transfer card," Rossman said. Cards offering 12, 15 or even 21 months with no interest on transferred balances are one of the best weapons Americans have in the battle against credit card debt, added Matt Schulz, LendingTree's chief credit analyst.

Rules included in the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) aimed at reducing U.S. dependence on Chinese EV battery supply chains currently only benefit countries that have free trade agreements with Washington - a list that excludes Vietnam. VinFast responded to President Joe Biden's call for electric vehicles to be manufactured in the United States, Osius told Reuters in an interview on Thursday, "Now they will have some asks. They will want to be part of the EV supply chain and they won't want to be discriminated against in favor of other EV producers." The United States signed a deal in March with Japan on critical minerals that ensures Japanese cars will benefit from the tax credit.
