The new American dream: Having parents who can help pay for it

For generations, the formula for getting ahead in America seemed straightforward: Go to college, work hard, save your money, buy a home and climb the economic ladder.Today, that formula increasingly depends on something many Americans can’t control: whether their family has the financial means to help along the way. Without that support, many Americans face mounting debt and an increasingly difficult – if not impossible – path to homeownership and wealth accumulation.The dependence is especially pronounced among young adults, who are entering an economy that has become less forgiving.

Sen. Ossoff fuels reelection campaign with attacks on Trump

Nearly a decade ago, Jon Ossoff was a 30-year-old Democratic congressional candidate promising Georgia suburban voters he would “cut wasteful spending” and make “both parties in Washington” be “accountable to you.” His Republican opponent even complained that Ossoff “talks like a Republican.” Nobody would make that mistake today. After losing that race in 2017 and narrowly winning a U.S. Senate seat during a runoff in 2021, Ossoff is running for reelection with a full-throated broadside on President Donald Trump as a “national disgrace” leading a “Mar-a-Lag

Dan Goldman over his views on Israel, some of his Jewish colleagues in Congress wanted their Democratic leadership to weigh in.But even as the controversy rocketed around the internet, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries remained silent. Many in his ranks were frustrated.“I think they’re doing everything they can to not talk about the antisemitism on the left to get themselves through elections,” Democratic Rep.

DNA from the skull of an unknown Revolutionary War soldier reveals more than his name

After 246 years, Pvt. John Pumphrey is unknown no more. Through DNA testing and old-fashioned sleuthing, the Maryland teenager who died in one of the last big battles of the American Revolution can now take his place in history, just in time for the 250th birthday of the nation he fought to create. “There was a sense of divine timing, I guess,” said Allison Peacock, founder of FHD Forensics, a company that helped with the search. “I don’t know what else you want to call it.” Pumphrey died Aug. 16, 1780, at the Battle of Camden,

Trump alleged China took US election data. Its leader is still planning for a lavish state visit to the US

Ordinarily, a claim like the one President Donald Trump leveled at China in prime time this week might herald a major rupture in ties with Beijing.“The People’s Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history,” Trump declared Thursday from the East Room, sounding personally stung that, according to a minority view of intelligence, the country had tried to undermine his election chances in 2020.“The Chinese government wanted (the) US president to lose the next election,” he claimed. “The reason they wanted me to lose is because

A Venezuelan man was accused of trying to murder an ICE officer. Then bystander video surfaced

Days after Gabriel Hurtado-Cariaco was arrested by federal officers in Nebraska last summer, government officials branded the Venezuelan delivery driver with incendiary labels: “a criminal illegal alien,” “a known Tren de Aragua terrorist” and even alleged he slammed one agent’s head into the ground and choked her.But that version of events, reported by some news outlets, began unraveling when bystander videos contradicted accounts painting the immigrant as a villain, the officers as victims.Then-Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche called Hurtado-Cariaco a “vicious Tren de Aragua

From LA to Scottsdale: The Founder Behind AdDynamix Is Building the Bridge Between AI and Business Tools

An LA digital advertising veteran of 28 years has moved to Scottsdale and is building what he calls the missing piece between business software and the AI assistants people now use every day. SCOTTSDALE, AZ. When Benoit Pecqueur talks about his latest company, he sounds less like a founder pitching a product and more like an operator who got tired of watching the same problem repeat itself. “Most small business owners are watching the AI revolution from the sidelines,” he says. “Not because they don’t want it. Because their tools don’t talk to ChatGPT or Claude. Their accountant still pulls
