Trump and Putin’s avowed personal rapport masks deeper tensions
The Russian leader has had warm words for Trump since his election, calling him “courageous" at a public forum last week. Suspicions that Trump harbored a pro-Russia bias were magnified by later-discredited allegations that his campaign colluded with Kremlin hackers. Moscow congratulated Trump on his victory and on the campaign trail Trump repeatedly called the Kremlin leader tough and smart. Trump has named Musk to lead a new government-efficiency body, though the extent of his influence in the incoming Trump administration is unclear.

Trump picks Fox News host as defense secretary; Tulsi Gabbard to head national intelligence • Louisiana Illuminator
President-elect Donald Trump says he plans to nominate Pete Hegseth, a U.S. Army National Guard veteran and a weekend host on Fox News’ morning show, as secretary of Defense. Trump also announced on Wednesday afternoon he would nominate Florida Sen. Marco Rubio to be secretary of State and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard to be the director of national intelligence, as he rounds out his national security team. The Hegseth pick, announced late Tuesday, immediately drew more scrutiny than some more conventional choices Trump announced for other Cabinet-level positions. “Pete is tough, smart and a true believer in America First,” Trump said in a statement from his transition team. President Trump and Secretary Hegseth will make our military great again while continuing to put America First,” the foundation said in a statement.

Americans’ debt is growing — but so are incomes
Americans are continuing to pile on debt at record levels — but for many households, those IOUs are completely manageable, according to new data released Wednesday. Balances grew across all major debt categories, with credit cards and auto loans continuing to see the biggest gains. However, by and large, most households have been able to handle that rising debt: Their after-tax income has grown even more, according to the New York Fed. Disposable personal income hit $21.8 trillion in the third quarter, bringing the total debt balance to income ratio to 82%. And, for 18 months running, that pay growth has outpaced inflation, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data released Wednesday.
