BOSTON (AP) — Former U.S. Treasury Secretary Larry Summers was banned for life Tuesday from an academic society in the latest fallout over recently released emails showing he maintained a friendly relationship with Jeffrey Epstein after the disgraced financier pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor.The American Economic Association, a nonprofit scholarly association dedicated to economic research, said it had accepted Summers’ resignation and banned him for life from “attending, speaking at, or otherwise participating” in its events. “The AEA condemns Mr. Summers’ conduct, as reflected in publicly reported communications, as fundamentally inconsistent with its standards of professional integrity…

Take, for example, one Reddit forum contributor who recalled the weirdest Christmas gift she got. “A thong… that was weirdly in my size. Got it from my father-in-law’s girlfriend.” Astonished, even her husband said it was “weird as hell” – and the poor woman is “still bothered by it to this day”.In some cases, it’s not necessarily who has given you the present that makes it a bit strange, but the age you were when you received it. “My aunt gave me a tyre pressure gauge for a car; I was seven years old,” another Reddit commentator posted.Another replied: “My…

The bill, signed into law earlier this year, gives $1,000 to every newborn, so long as their parents open an account.…

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he did not want Somali immigrants in the U.S., saying residents of the war-ravaged eastern African country are too reliant on U.S. social safety net and add little to the United States.Trump’s contemptuous description of the entire immigrant community is the latest example of him pointedly attacking the Somali diaspora in the United States. Somalis have been coming to Minnesota and other states, often as refugees, since the 1990s. The president made no distinction between citizens and non-citizens.The president’s comment came days after his administration announced it is halting all asylum…
