President Trump orders release of JFK, RFK and MLK assassination records
SUMMARY: President Donald Trump has ordered the release of classified documents related to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. This executive action aims to declassify thousands of records that have fueled conspiracy theories for decades. Trump, who previously withheld some documents due to national security concerns, has promised full transparency this time. The directive requires national intelligence and attorney general to develop a plan for release timelines. Researchers remain hopeful for significant revelations, though many believe the chances are slim. The JFK documents collection comprises over 5 million records, with thousands still undisclosed.

SUMMARY: In January, the U.S. added 143,000 jobs, below the predicted 169,000, but the unemployment rate fell to 4%, better than expected. The Bureau of Labor Statistics revised previous months’ payrolls upward by 100,000 and lowered 2024 job growth estimates to 166,000 per month. Hiring rates are slowing, but the job market remains stable with positive executive sentiments regarding potential business improvements from tax cuts and deregulation. However, concerns about trade tariffs may impact economic growth, potentially leading to a GDP contraction of 1.5%. Despite challenges, overall employment indicators remain strong with low unemployment rates.
