Democratic nominee Kamala Harris said on her campaign's X account that Trump rambled and "looked confused" on stage during the event. Almost 30 minutes into the town hall event, Trump paused the event so someone in the audience could receive treatment. Two minutes later, as Trump faced the fifth question of the night, another person became ill and the song played again. Kristi Noem of South Dakota asked Trump on stage, "Do you want to play your song and then greet a few people?" A national NBC News poll on Sunday put Trump and Harris neck and neck among registered voters, with three weeks to go until election day.

Novelist James Patterson — along with a hardworking group of co-authors — generates multiple books a year. So I think that's kind of cool. I'm going to do a movie about cowboys and circuses!

Without laborious renaming, everything behind those links — billions of them, a decade of digital content — will become inaccessible. We're about to enter the Digital Dark Ages. The Department of Veterans Affairs is legally required to preserve all medical records for 75 years after the death of a vet — but it's having problems, in part because of a balky digital records system. "Over the long term, you can't preserve a digital object in its original form," says Manoff, the former MIT librarian.

It could be a bad idea to keep a stock solely to skip out on realizing capital gains. The right advice can buy time, reduce tax burdens, or even avoid them altogether without breaking any laws. "So, a tax-loss-harvesting type of trading will take place and then you are reducing your capital gains taxes." This grants them a tax deduction while skipping out on capital gains tax. Even some of our hedge fund managers who get compensation through carried interests of capital gains can defer those capital gains and even avoid them."
