The Social Security Administration is backing off a plan it announced in March to withhold 100% of many beneficiaries’ monthly payments to claw back money the government had allegedly overpaid them. Instead, the agency will default to withholding 50% of old-age, survivors, and disability insurance benefits, the agency said in an “emergency message” to staff dated April 25.

Entering the 2025 NFL Draft, one of the under-the-radar storylines was whether Ohio State would set the record for the most players selected from one school in a draft. The defending national champion Buckeyes had over a dozen players who were viewed as potential draft picks, making it possible that they could break the record Georgia set in 2022 with 15.Ultimately, Ohio State fell short of that mark. But it still had a number of players get drafted in 2025, including four first-round selections and three second-round picks. Did Ohio State have the most players selected in the 2025 NFL Draft?…
WASHINGTON :President Donald Trump’s administration will move to reduce the impact of his automotive tariffs on Tuesday by alleviating some duties imposed on foreign parts in domestically manufactured cars and keeping tariffs on cars made abroad from piling on top of other ones, officials said.”President Trump is building an important partnership with both the domestic automakers and our great American workers,” Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said in a statement from the White House. “This deal is a major victory for the President’s trade policy by rewarding companies who manufacture domestically, while providing runway to manufacturers who have expressed their commitment…
