Trump stock plummets, again
Trump Media & Technology Group shares plummeted more than 18% Monday after the company took steps to sell millions of additional shares.
Trump Media, the parent company of social media platform Truth Social, filed to register up to 146.1 million shares for sale, including nearly 115 million owned by Trump, Bailey Schulz reports.

But few of us get to retire when we want.
Here are the stories of seven Americans who retired years earlier than planned, for reasons largely beyond their control.
