Cotality tracked this measure of financial cushion for borrowers in 49 states (Vermont didn’t have enough data) and the District of Columbia.

    Trump made lots of tariff threats in 2025. Here’s some that never materialized
    By WYATTE GRANTHAM-PHILIPS, Associated Press Business Writer
    President Donald Trump made a lot of tariff threats and trade promises this year. Many materialized into a barrage of new import taxes that overturned decades of U.S. economic policy — but others have yet to be fulfilled as 2025 comes to a close.

    SAN ANTONIO — The USC football team fell short of a 10-win season, losing to TCU, 30-27, in the Alamo Bowl on Tuesday night at the Alamodome.
    Ryon Sayeri kicked a 22-yard field goal in overtime, but it wasn’t enough to seal the win for the Trojans (9-4), who saw their defense fade down the stretch. TCU quarterback Ken Seals threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to Jeremy Payne, who did most of the work with his tightrope sprint down the sideline to secure the win.
