Key Points Claiming Social Security early means applying under your full retirement age (FRA). Early claimers who are still working could lose some of their checks if their income is too high. These lost dollars come back to you as a benefit increase at your FRA. The $23,760 Social Security bonus most retirees completely overlook › You've worked hard your entire life, and now that you're finally old enough to claim Social Security, it makes sense that you don't want to wait any longer to start cashing in those checks. As long as you're at least 62 and have the necessary work history to qualify for retirement benefits, there's nothing standing in your way. But if you're still employed, claiming Social Security might not provide the lifestyle boost you were hoping for -- at least not right away. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » What happens when you claim Social Security early while you're still working Claiming Social Security early doesn't just mean applying right at 62. If you're receiving checks and are under your full retirement age (FRA) -- 67 for those born in 1960 or later -- you're claiming early. This could reduce your monthly benefit by up to 30%. It could also put you at risk of encountering the earnings test if you're still working. This little-known rule could further shrink your Social Security checks. Those under their FRA for all of 2026 lose $1 from their benefits for every $2 they earn over $24,480 from their jobs this year. If you'll reach your FRA in 2026, you lose $1 for every $3 you earn over $65,160, assuming you earn that much before your birth month. This could wipe out your entire benefit in some months, depending on your salary and your Social Security benefit. For example, say you'll be under your FRA all year. You qualify for the $2,075 average monthly be...

Documentary First They Came for My College goes inside the fight for academic freedom at Florida’s New College It took a half century to build New College into a sanctuary of independent thought and less than a year to destroy it. In 2023 the beloved Florida liberal arts school became state governor Ron DeSantis’s latest target in his so-called war on woke. DeSantis decimated the school’s trustee board and installed a cabal of rightwing cronies, aiming to transform it into a conservative institution modeled after Michigan’s evangelical Hillsdale College. Library shelves were stripped, with books from Black and Indigenous authors and the shuttered gender studies department tossed into dumpsters. Frat boys arrived in droves and the campus was transformed into a meathead’s playground where queer couples stopped holding hands for fear of homophobic slurs. In a move ripped from the playbook of a spiteful cartoon villain, the community garden with its koi pond and roosting barn owls was bulldozed to make way for a baseball stadium. Continue reading...

watch now VIDEO 9:00 09:00 There may be Dubai property cooldown, but I don't see it, Emaar Founder says Access Middle East Dubai's property market could see a "cooldown," one of the UAE's largest developers has said, as he insisted "smart capital" would keep investing despite Iranian missile strikes. Mohamed Alabbar, founder of Emaar Properties, the company behind the Burj Khalifa skyscraper, told CNBC's Dan Murphy that "there could be a bit of a cooldown, but I really don't see it," adding that the UAE's real-estate business is "not built on bank borrowing." "Bank borrowing is really restricted in this market. Consumer confidence will be shaken a little bit, but as I said, the policies of this country bring the confidence back so fast," he said on Thursday. He was speaking on the sixth day of an escalating war in the Middle East, in which the UAE has been hit with retaliatory strikes from Iran after the U.S. and Israel launched strikes against Tehran on Saturday. Countries have repatriated their citizens. Dubai's airport, one of the busiest in the world, was hit, disrupting flights , as were hotels and ports around the country. "I was surprised, and I was shocked," Alabbar said of the strikes. "But people with true capital understand that a country like this, with stable leadership and the safety it has shown, can deliver. They will double down on this." watch now VIDEO 1:43 01:43 Emaar Founder: Iran's attack will only strengthen UAE Access Middle East He insisted that life was gradually returning to normal, adding that footfall at Dubai Mall has already rebounded to 190,000 visitors daily, compared to a typical pre-war daily footfall of 250,000. "The number of customers that come to our restaurants, our numbers are close to about 80, 85%, and it has been only four days, five days," Alabbar said. Dubai Mall is owned by Emaar Properties and is next to the Burj Khalifa. "Life is coming back to normality," he added. When asked why Iran chose to target the UAE, Alabbar...

The Canary Islands were plagued by adverse weather this week as Storm Regina, named by the Portuguese weather service, barrelled through the archipelago. The storm swept eastwards towards Africa on Tuesday and Wednesday after bringing strong gusts of up to 64mph to the island of Lanzarote. Wave heights of 5-6 metres were widely reported, while some peaked above 6 metres along northern coasts in the Canary island chain. As a result, the area was placed under a yellow warning for rough seas. To add to the chaos, snowfall struck elevations above 1,500 metres in Tenerife, closing multiple mountain roads. The winter of 2025/26 will be remembered as somewhat of a rollercoaster across much of the US, with stark spatial and temporal contrasts. Multiple intrusions of Arctic air engulfed large parts of the country, bringing record snowfall and weeks of sub-zero temperatures to many states, most notably in Rhode Island, which recorded nearly 38 inches (96cm) in 48 hours in last month’s blizzard. However, this week, the thermometer was flipped on its head. Warm air surged northwards from Mexico, pooling over Texas, Arizona and California. A temperature of 41C (106F) was recorded in Falcon, Texas, earlier this week, preliminarily breaking the record for the warmest temperature ever recorded in the US during the meteorological winter months of December, January and February. Despite multiple arctic outbreaks in the eastern half of the country throughout the winter, record warmth in the west led to the season being the second warmest winter on record when averaged across the nation. States in the south such as Florida also saw a very dry winter, with many areas entering spring under severe or extreme drought conditions, according to the National Drought Mitigation Centre. However, there is light at the end of the tunnel, as the latest forecast models are showing the development of an El Niño event later this year. El Niño occurs when the waters in the equatorial part of the Pacifi...

The former homeland security chief was an incompetent figurehead of cruelty. Her departure reflects Trump’s political weakness Was it the blanket that did it? On Thursday, Donald Trump announced he fired Kristi Noem , the secretary of homeland security, in a post on Truth Social. Noem, at the time, was giving a press briefing in Nashville, and did not seem aware that she had been fired; she later posted on social media to thank the president for the new role that he had created for her as a golden parachute: “Envoy to the Shield of the Americas”, which sounds like something from a children’s superhero cartoon. Noem’s dismissal comes after a chaotic time at the department, in which she had endured successive national outcries over ICE kidnapping operations and the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti; corruption and mismanagement scandals within the department; rumors about an alleged extramarital relationship with her top aide and former Trump campaign chief, Corey Lewandowski; and scrutiny over her award of a lucrative advertising contract to a personal ally. Noem’s tenure at DHS seems to have been marked by state violence, managerial incompetence, and shockingly unprofessional conduct. Last month, the Wall Street Journal reported that Lewandowski summarily fired the pilot of a plane Noem was traveling on when a blanket (or possibly a bag ) she had used on her flight was not retrieved for her when she switched planes. The pilot had to be quickly rehired because there was no one else to fly the secretary home. Noem’s ousting comes just days after her contentious testimony at a pair of Senate committee hearings, at which even Republican House members made a point of being seen to criticize her on camera. Just hours before Trump’s announcement, the Senate had failed yet again to pass a measure which would resume funding for DHS; the department has been the subject of a congressional funding battle in which a partial government shutdown has flowed from Democrats’ dem...

The Send Nudes author on rereading Lorrie Moore, finding Dodie Smith at the right time, and the enduring brilliance of Muriel Spark My earliest reading memory I remember reading Jacqueline Wilson aloud to my mum in the car. I think it was The Illustrated Mum . My mum couldn’t believe it was a children’s book, and I felt so proud. I always found most children’s books overly virtuous and safe, but Wilson’s never were. I love her for that. My favourite book growing up The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie by Muriel Spark. I read it again recently, having mostly forgotten it, and loved it just as much. It’s totally alive.

As the public consultation on the BBC nears its end, the right will be out in force to undermine it. But its supporters can do their bit – with this guidance The BBC may have a over one and a half years before its charter expires in December 2027, but the public consultation on its renewal closes next week. All those who care about the BBC’s future should hurry and send in their response before 10 March. Despite strong public support for the national broadcaster, you can bet battalions of enemies driven by the right will be out in force to undermine it. The timing turns out to be accidentally apt. As chaos is unleashed across the Middle East, the BBC and its array of experienced correspondents has never been more visibly needed. Nightly reports from Jeremy Bowen, Sarah Smith, Lyse Doucet, Orla Guerin, Clive Myrie and all the rest give the country – and the world – trusted updates, as few others can do. The secretary of state for culture, media and sport, Lisa Nandy, a strong defender of the BBC, called its World Service “the light on the hill” in a world of flexible fictitious facts. Polly Toynbee is a Guardian columnist Continue reading...

TOPSHOT - US President Donald Trump (L) and China's President Xi Jinping arrive for talks at the Gimhae Air Base, located next to the Gimhae International Airport in Busan on October 30, 2025. Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping will seek a truce in their bruising trade war on October 30, with the US president predicting a "great meeting" but Beijing being more circumspect. (Photo by ANDREW CABALLERO-REYNOLDS / AFP) (Photo by ANDREW CABALLERO-REYNOLDS/AFP via Getty Images) Andrew Caballero-reynolds | Afp | Getty Images China 's opposition to the U.S. and Israeli war on Iran is stoking tensions between Beijing and Washington just weeks before a high-stakes meeting between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping . The Middle East offensive, which has killed China-friendly Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and a slew of other Iranian officials, shows the U.S. doubling down hard on its willingness to eschew diplomacy and launch high-risk military operations in pursuit of its global goals. The war began less than two months after the U.S. attacked Venezuela to capture the country's president, Nicolas Maduro , and his wife, who are now both in custody in New York City. The actions also show that, even as a tumultuous trade war between the U.S. and China has settled into an uneasy detente, the Trump administration is willing to rock the boat in countries where Beijing exerts significant influence. The attacks aren't likely to halt or compromise diplomacy between the two superpowers. But they will set the "mood music" for Trump's upcoming summit with Xi in China, said Tim Keeler, partner and co-head of international trade at Mayer Brown. The display of speed and force in the Maduro raid was "nothing short of stunning" and served as a reminder to China of U.S. military capabilities, Keeler said in a phone interview. If the Iran incursion shapes up similarly to Venezuela, "then it could end up being a significant change in the nature of the background music for the meeting," he sa...

The Panama Canal is reporting an unexpected jump in revenue, confounding its own forecasts that Donald Trump ’s trade wars would cause traffic to drop. Buoyant US demand for goods from Asia is helping, as well as strong sales of liquefied petroleum gas, or LPG, to Japan and South Korea, according to the waterway’s Chief Financial Officer Victor Vial . “We’ve seen a resilience in demand and quite surprisingly, because we did not expect that,” Vial said in an interview on Wednesday. “We are at a pace where, if everything stays in line, we could beat last year’s revenue performance.” Canal revenue increased 8-10% in the first five months of the canal’s fiscal year 2026, which started in October, compared to the same period a year earlier. Both ship transits and cargo tonnage increased, Vial said. The canal saw a record $5.7 billion in fiscal year 2025. Shipments of cars from Asia to Latin America and the US are also helping, he added. In its 2026 budget published last August, the canal authority had forecast a drop in revenue of 8.8% this fiscal year, to $5.2 billion. The authority had expected a significant drop in container shipping this year after companies brought forward shipments of goods ahead of Donald Trump’s tariff announcements, artificially inflating last year’s figures. The war in Ukraine has led to a decline in shipments of liquefied natural gas through the waterway, Vial said, as LNG tankers previously bound for Asia now head across the Atlantic to Europe. The canal authority is monitoring the situation in Iran for its impact on trade routes, and the conflict may lead to a short-term increase in transits, he added. LPG Pipeline In April, the canal authority plans to open bidding for a pipeline to transport LPG along the waterway, between port terminals on both coasts, which are separate from the CK Hutchison ports. This is part of $8.5 billion in investments the canal plans over the next 6 years, Vial said. Read more: Panama Canal to Enter Ports Business...

Homegoing service will celebrate civil rights leader Jesse Jackson in Chicago toggle caption Kris Connor/Getty Images The Rev. Jesse Jackson's loved ones will celebrate his life in Chicago on Friday, as his family hosts a memorial homegoing service that's open to the public, but will also be attended by dignitaries and celebrities. Former presidents Barack Obama, Joe Biden and Bill Clinton are expected to attend the service at the House of Hope, a megachurch on Chicago's South Side. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker are scheduled to speak on Friday. The service will also feature performances by Chicago native Jennifer Hudson, along with gospel singers Bebe Winans and Pastor Marvin Winans. The event is slated to begin at noon ET and is expected to run for several hours. You can watch streaming video of the service here, along with live coverage from WBEZ in Chicago. Sponsor Message The service — and another, private service on Saturday — will be officiated by faith leaders Dr. Charles Jenkins and Rev. James T. Meeks. Jackson died on Feb. 17 at age 84. His death has brought an outpouring of tributes to the civil rights leader and politician who devoted his life to pushing for equality and change. His early efforts to fight segregation included insisting on access to the "white library" in his hometown of Greenville, S.C., in 1960. Dorris Wright, a former classmate of Jackson's who was one of the "Greenville Eight" along with him, told Here & Now that after their action, "the library was shut down, I think, for about a week or ten days. And then when they reopened, they reopened it to everybody." Five years later, Jackson marched alongside Martin Luther King Jr. and others in Selma, Ala . His advocacy continued in the decades that followed, leading Jackson to run for president in 1984 and 1988. The Chicago ceremonies bookend a week that began with Jackson's body lying in state at the South Carolina Capitol on Monday. There, he was honored in...

The Kalshi and Polymarket CEO feud: They hate each other toggle caption There's one word Kalshi CEO Tarek Mansour is loath to say: Polymarket. Like a politician swiping his never-to-be-spoken-of challenger on the campaign trail, Mansour will drag the enemy but never name the enemy. Yes, there's an "unregulated, offshore prediction market," which is not like Kalshi. Too many people, Mansour says, confuse Kalshi for that "non-American, unregulated platform." For Mansour, distinguishing Kalshi from that other site is a form of combat. If there's a chance to land a blow, he will. After the FBI raided Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan's home in November 2024, Kalshi staffers teamed up with influencers to promote memes mocking Coplan, Mansour admitted the following month. "Some of our team got pretty heated," he said at the time. Sponsor Message Mansour, in a December podcast interview, likened his beef with Coplan with one of the most rousing rivalries in NFL history, the face-off between Tom Brady and Eli Manning over football quarterback supremacy. "When Tom Brady kind of reflected on that back in the day, he's like, 'You know, we were like the most ferocious on the field, and we fought each other,'" said Mansour, adding that the vying ultimately led Brady to greatness. Coplan has been cagier in public about his prediction market foe, even as he rages quietly to his inner circle about Mansour, who keeps ratcheting up his antagonism. Even the typically stodgy U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is witnessing some of the action. Both Kalshi and Polymarket have pending trademark applications for "the world's largest prediction market," federal records show. (Kalshi is the bigger one by trading volume, but Polymarket has long called itself the largest.) The feud could shape the future of the industry, with each executive offering competing visions for how prediction markets should grow, either by fighting in court for the legal right to exist or — like the cryptocurrency industry ...

'Mr. Gold' Warns Of 'System Reset' As Silver Lights Fuse Of Derivatives Time-Bomb Authored by Greg Hunter via usawatchdog.com , Financial writer and precious metals expert Bill Holter (aka Mr. Gold) predicted that by March, silver would likely suffer a failure to deliver physical metal at COMEX. In other words, demand for physical silver will swamp the existing supply . The math is scary and simple, and Holter breaks it down, “The registered inventory at COMEX in silver is 86 million ounces. On the second day of March, there are already 52 million ounces of silver standing for delivery. That leaves 30 million to 35 million ounces unspoken for. . .. This looks dicey. If they have 52 million ounces standing for delivery now, where is it going to be at the end of the month? If silver fails to deliver, then what you are going to have in the gold market is buyers stepping up that normally would not even buy and ask for delivery. . .. The bottom line is if silver fails to deliver, gold will fail to deliver in 24 hours. Once that happens, then confidence breaks. . .. You are looking at two quadrillion dollars in derivatives in a global economy with $350 trillion in debt with an underlying $100 trillion annual GDP. The math does not work. I think silver, and I have said this for many years, silver will be the spark or the fuse that lights off gold, which then lights off the derivatives time bomb. Warren Buffett calls derivatives weapons of mass financial destruction.” Mr. Gold thinks, “ When the system resets, governments will start a money print fest that will touch off global hyperinflation. . .. The pure math of debt outstanding is that it cannot be repaid in current terms. It will be hyperinflation of the things we need and hyper-deflation of the things we already have. . .. How is somebody going to buy your house if the capital is not there? If the capital is not there, then the price is going to have to come down. . .. It is highly likely that silver will kick off the...

A Cybertruck operating with Tesla Inc.’s Autopilot feature allegedly attempted to drive off a Houston overpass, injuring the driver, according to a recently filed lawsuit. The driver, Houston resident Justine Saint Amour, was in a Cybertruck in August 2025 when the Autopilot-controlled vehicle drove straight into a concrete barrier on a Y-shaped overpass on 69 Eastex Freeway. The vehicle was expected to follow a curve to the right, but when it failed to do so, she disengaged the driver-assistance feature. Still, “it was too late” once she took control of the wheel and the vehicle crashed into the barrier, the lawsuit claims. The lawsuit, filed in Harris County District Court in late February, came as Tesla was facing accusations from California regulators over misleading advertising for the name “Autopilot.” The Austin-based automaker responded by suing the California Department of Motor Vehicles to reverse the ruling, but still adjusted the name. Navigate on Autopilot is now referred to as “Navigate on Autosteer.” Advertisement Advertisement The incident allegedly caused serious injuries to Saint Amour's right shoulder, neck and back. She was diagnosed with two herniated discs in her lower back, a herniated disc in her neck, sprained tendons in her wrist, and neuropathy causing numbness, tingling, and weakness in her right hand, attorneys at Hilliard Law said. She is seeking monetary relief exceeding $1 million over Tesla's alleged negligence tied to misrepresenting the abilities of Autopilot and failing to incorporate features such as lidar or more effective emergency braking systems, among other acts and omissions. “Tesla’s decisions made Justine’s accident inevitable. This company wants drivers to believe and trust their life on a lie: that the vehicle can self-drive and that it can do so safely,” Saint Amour’s attorney Bob Hilliard said. “It can’t and it doesn’t. The dashcam footage shows the type of foreseeable scenario where redundancy and override systems ma...
