Dozens of farmworkers were detained and federal agents deployed tear gas at protesters during an immigration raid at a Ventura County agricultural business Thursday. For millions of Americans, the dream of homeownership is becoming increasingly elusive — and in California, the financial barrier is especially high. FBI deputy director Dan Bongino took a day off from work Friday after clashing at the White House with Attorney General Pam Bondi over their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, four sources familiar with the conflict told Axios. Christmas shoppers got a gift of sorts from the White House this week when the president pushed the tariff pause to August 1. The shift should give retailers more time to stockpile most goods ahead of the holiday season, potentially pushing some tariff-related price increases to next year.

President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs earlier this year set off alarm among economists about a risk that just about every U.S. shopper fears: major price hikes. Instead, inflation has cooled, defying doomsday predictions and helping to propel sturdy economic performance. Side hustling is seemingly American as apple pie, with over one in four (27 percent) American adults taking on side jobs in addition to their full-time occupation, according to Bankrate's most recent Side Hustle Survey. In a time when nearly half of Gen Z lies on their job applications — it's no surprise that they're also fibbing on their resume to land a job.
