Both are staunch fossil fuel advocates, but each has also worked with clean energy. But Musk’s influence on Trump’s energy policy is less certain, as he has been tasked with a new commission cutting government spending and agency jobs.

We would obviously like to see our permits uphold court challenges.”The battle lines on clean energy are less clearWhat’s less clear is what Trump’s picks will mean for clean energy.

The Herculaneum scrolls, as they are known, still remain unopened, but thanks to the powerful tool that is artificial intelligence, their contents now lie within reach. Artificial intelligence encompasses a range of computational techniques: using data sets to train and improve machine learning algorithms and enabling them to spot patterns and inform predictions. When visualized with artificial intelligence, previously unseen coda patterns emerged in what the researchers described as akin to phonetics in human communication.

Sao Paulo, Brazil AP —A crash between a passenger bus and a truck early Saturday killed 30 people on a highway in Minas Gerais, a state in southeastern Brazil, officials said. The Minas Gerais fire department, which responded to the scene, said 13 others were taken to hospitals near the city of Teofilo Otoni. The bus had reportedly departed from Sao Paulo and was carrying 45 passengers. Witnesses told rescue teams that the bus blew a tire, causing the driver to lose control and collide with a truck.

Yet in a few respects, a bit of wobbly action in the indexes, surge in volatility and reversals in some of the more overheated assets were overdue and probably necessary to test the bull market against higher bond yields and a more-foggy policy horizon. The S & P 500 retreated back to a check of levels seen the morning after Election Day and held there. The one-line story of this entire 26-month bull market is, "Inflation coming down faster than the economy has slowed." The resolute bullish commentators like to point out that the current bull phase is not particularly mature, with the average duration of a post-1945 cyclical bull market (defined as the span between 20% or greater index declines) exceeding five years. Yet both of those extended bull cycles featured two 19% S & P 500 setbacks each (in 1990, 1998, 2011 and 2018), barely stopping short of a loss that would've punctuated them.

A nearly two-year investigation by Democratic senators of Supreme Court ethics details more luxury travel by Justice Clarence Thomas and urges Congress to establish a way to enforce a new code of conduct. The court adopted its first code of ethics in 2023, but it leaves compliance to each of the nine justices. "This entire investigation was never about 'ethics' but about trying to undermine the Supreme Court," Paoletta said in a statement posted on X. The new ethics code does explicitly require it, and Thomas has since gone back and reported some travel.
