Alison Schumer (right), the younger of Sen. Chuck Schumer’s two daughters, married Elizabeth Weiland on Sunday in Brooklyn, with the couple posing for wedding photos on a bridge over the toxic Gowanus Canal. Alison Schumer, 29, is a six-figure product marketing manager at Facebook — which has donated about $50,000 to her Democratic Senate minority leader dad, a vocal defender of the social media titan on Capitol Hill.

On Monday, Equifax settled with the US Federal Trade Commission over its 2017 data breach, which affected 147 million Americans. The settlement of up to $700 million includes as much as $425 million for individual compensation.

When the supposed conservative candidates talked about conservation, global warming, and energy, I thought I was tuned into the democrat debate for a while... Although, some of the answers about the oil profits were fine, there was way too much green leaning on all the other points; imho. Did anybody else get disgusted about the fighting the global warming "crisis" that they talked about? Even if they didn't say they support a fight against global warming, I would of thought someone would have stated that global warming is junk science and bad political and economic policy.

The North is highly likely to conduct a second test to demonstrate its nuclear bomb capability More than a hundred days have passed since North Korea shocked the international community on Oct. 9, 2006, by carrying out its first nuclear test at an underground testing site in a northeastern province of the country. The test was a physical demonstration to vindicate its official pronouncement on Feb. 10, 2005 that North Korea possessed nuclear weapons and would further bolster its nuclear arsenal.
