    Treasury chief: Facebook currency plan ripe for illicit use
    By Marcy Gordon, The Associated Press
    The Trump administration came out strongly Monday against Facebook’s ambitious plan to create a new digital currency, as the Treasury chief warned it could be used for illicit activity such as money laundering, human trafficking and financing terrorism.
    Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin expressed “very serious concerns” about the currency proposed by the social network giant, to be called Libra. “This is indeed a national security iss

    On Sunday, President Trump demeaned himself and the office of the president.

    Only one of the four targets of his tweet was actually born in another country: Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minnesota, who came to America from Somalia. For the other three, all born in America,

    A decade ago, California’s state budget was in shambles and facing a $40 billion shortfall. At the local level, cities and counties were going under. In 2012, for example, the San Bernardino City Council voted to file for bankruptcy protection. But with a booming stock market and an economy that’s been growing for years, many cities and states have been lulled into a false sense of financial security.
