“Sneakflation” is on the menu. Trump insists tariffs are being paid by foreign countries, but economists say American consumers are quietly footing the bill at checkout.

Our Thursday Newsmaker shines a light on Patients R' Waiting, a groundbreaking organization working to transform healthcare by focusing on minority representation in medicine.
