The President says he's removing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook
from her position. Trump said on Truth their sufficient reason
to believe Cook made false statements on one or more
mortgage agreements. The Post went on to say than in
light of what Trump called Cook's deceit full and potentially

There might be a connection between popular weight loss drugs
and a reduced risk of cancer. A study published in
Jama Oncology over the use of glp IE drugs like
ozepic and wegovi showed the risk for overall cancer dropped
seventeen percent. In fact, the risk of some cancers dropped
even more, with the risk of ovarian cancer going down
forty seven percent. Researchers made clear the study does not

distinguish if the reduced risk was due to the drug
or the actual weight loss. Kevin O'Leary says he's behind

add more cards to his portfolio. I'm Brian Shook.

milestones and Power asked nearly one thousand Americans to set
target ages for six life milestones retirement, saving, landing a
dream job, earning six figures, buying a home, becoming debt free,
and retiring. Almost half of those surveyed wished they'd begun
(03:55):
saving sooner, while nearly one quarter said they felt behind
in reaching money milestones. Many other said they have no
set timeline for reaching big financial goals. I'm Tammy Trhio
