Latest newsAre stimulus checks for inflation taxable?Even though this year no stimulus checks have been granted at the federal level, several states in the country, at least 16, have taken it upon themselves to authorize their own relief checks to help their residents combat the high costs of inflation.When the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) delivered the first, second and third stimulus checks, though, some people had doubts about whether they had to pay taxes on the money received, and at the time, the answer was a resounding NO.

Despite record 8.7% COLA for 2023, "Still more work to do to help seniors"The Social Security Administration announced a historic 8.7 percent COLA increase for benefits in 2023. The extra money each month will help recipients cope with inflation to a degree when it arrives with January's payments.However, there are concerns that more needs to be done especially in the case of seniors to make the COLA more responsive to the expenses they face that aren't used in the current calculation.The current COLA uses inflation figures from the CPI-W, a broad basket of consumer goods and services.

Bengals vs Cowboys: Key matchup of the gameLike the Cowboys, the Bengals had a rough go in Week 1, losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers 23-20. Though the Bengals were in the Super Bowl last year and were heavy favorites to defeat the Steelers, they played sloppy. Quarterback Joe Burrow threw four interceptions and had seven sacks. Usually good at overcoming those errors, he failed to do so this time around. Now, they'll face a Cowboys defense that is maybe the only light on an otherwise gloomy team in Dallas.

Bündchen and Brady: hiring divorce lawyersAccording to People, Tom Brady lawyered up only after Gisele Bündchen hired her own divorce attorney. Page Six broke the news that the supermodel had hired a divorce lawyer, but at that point the legendary quarterback was just "trying to figure out what to do." Hiring divorce lawyers doesn't mean it's absolutely over, though it indicates things are very, very far from good. Both partners in this marriage have a raft of advisers, who will be watching out for their individual clients.

World Cup watching at workSo, much of today will focus on the games -- with a splattering of news, views and reactions of course -- but being that it is Monday, we're conscious that actually seeing the matches unfold in real time may be a challenge, unless, like us, your job involves watching sport.Lucky for you, The Guardian's Josh Halliday has pulled together some hints and tips for keeping an eye on the game while on the job, including facial expressions and mirrors.Remember too though, today we at AS USA will be bringing you live coverage of England vs Iran (Leeds-born Joe has your unbiased commentary for that) and USA vs Wales (we thought an Irishman named Kieran was the best option there).

Unemployment up in October, BLS saysAlso this week, the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced a 3.7% rise in US unemployment in October - potentially the opening effects of the Federal Reserve's repeated interest rate hikes. 'The labor market is basically OK, but it does seem to be slowing,' Guy Berger, principal economist at LinkedIn in San Francisco, told Reuters. 'The Fed is going to try to thread the needle where they slow down the labor market enough to put downward pressure on wages and inflation, without causing a recession.

Herbert sacked for a loss of 7 yards! Crowd now absolutely loving this.  Wow! Jags decide to go for two so a field goal would win it for them. And Lawrence sticks his arm over the line (with the ball obviously) for the two points - the fact they were on the one yard line was thanks to the Bosa penalty. Chargers 30 - 28 Jaguars! Bosa slams his helmet into the turf and he's called for unsportsmanlike conduct. He thought there'd been a false start, but he's not getting that call. KIRK! Into the corner and Lawrence picks him out perfectly!  Engram! 21 yards and Jags 1st and goal.

What is a motion to vacate?The threat to Rep, Kevin McCarthy's position as Speaker of the House goes back to a small group of Freedom-Caucus aligned members who want a greater say in how the chamber operates. One of their key requests was an introduction of a ‘motion to vacate' system for the House.They want a single lawmaker to be able to raise a motion to dismiss the Speaker at any time. McCarthy, in a major concession, has offered to introduce this with a five-person threshold to bring it to the florr.

Reason behind spike in the price of eggsPrices rose across the board in 2022 as inflationary pressures pushed up the cost of household essentials. But there are few items that have seen a rate of increase as rapid as that of the humble egg, which has soared in price by up to 60% in the past 12 months. But, while much of the other increases can be put down to inflation, the price of eggs has been increased by another factor. More than 57 million chickens have been affected by an outbreak of avian flu that has decimated poultry farms across the country.

187,000 jobs added in July, unemployment falls to 3.5% The US economy added fewer jobs than expected in July , but solid wage gains and a decline in the unemployment rate back to 3.5% pointed to continued tightness in labor market conditions. The Labor Department's employment report also showed job gains in May and June were revised lower, potentially suggesting demand for labor was slowing in the wake of the Federal Reserve's hefty interest rate hikes . But with 1.6 job openings for every unemployed person in June, the moderation in hiring may also be the result of companies failing to find workers .

How the U.S. economy is losing momentum John Kemp, a Reuters market analyst, has been assessing how, despite not exactly being in recession, the U.S. economy needs a careful eye... Like U.S. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart's famously flexible definition of obscenity ('I know it when I see it') recessions have proved notoriously difficult to define with precision. Observers often disagree at the time whether the economy is already in recession, and sometimes afterwards whether a recession has occurred or just a 'soft patch' in an otherwise uninterrupted business cycle expansion.
