Federal Reserve Governor Kugler steps down, giving Trump slot to fill
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve announced Friday that governor Adriana Kugler will step down next week, opening up a spot on the central bank's powerful board that President Donald Trump will be able to fill. Kugler, who did not participate in the Fed's policy meeting earlier this week, would have completed her term in January. Instead, she will retire Aug. 8. She did not provide a reason for stepping down in her resignation letter. Trump has continued his attacks on the Fed since chair Jerome Powell said Wednesday that the central bank would keep its short-term interest rate unchanged. Powell also said the Fed could take months to evaluate the impact of tariffs on the economy before deciding to cut rates, as Trump has demanded. Powell is 'a stubborn MORON, must substantially lower interest rates, NOW,' Trump posted early Friday morning, before the monthly jobs report was released. That report showed hiring slowed in July and was much lower in May and June than had been initially reported. Kugler was appointed to the Fed's seven-member board of governors by former President Joe Biden in September 2023. She was the first Hispanic Fed governor, and prior to joining the Fed, was a professor at Georgetown University and was the U.S. representative to the World Bank. She will return to the Georgetown faculty in the fall. 'I am proud to have tackled this role with integrity, a strong commitment to serving the public, and with a data-driven approach strongly based on my expertise in labor markets and inflation,' she said in her resignation letter.

Moreno threatens to cut federal funds to Cincinnati over bloody brawl
Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) on Friday threatened to pull federal funding from the Cincinnati after the fallout following a viral video of a 3 a.m. brawl in the streets of the city. The altercation, which occurred on Saturday, resulted in serious injuries for one woman after a physical fight between two men that spiraled into a larger conflict as others jumped in. Five people have been charged in connection to the brawl but only two have been arrested as of Tuesday, according to the Associated Press. Moreno is blaming local leaders for not responding to the incident swiftly, although police said only one person called 911 to report the violence. 'I'm going to go down there next week. I'm going to deliver them a letter. They're going to have 30 days to put together a plan to protect the civil rights of all their citizens, regardless of their race,' Moreno said during an appearance on 'The Benny Show.' 'And if they don't do that, I'm going to ask all the federal agencies to suspend federal funding of Cincinnati, which would kill me. Because Cincinnati is a great city. I want to help Cincinnati,' he added. His criticism for local leadership follows harsh comments from Vice President Vance's half brother, Cory Bowman, who is running for mayor of the city. Bowman slammed city manager Sheryl Long, a woman of color, for the fight and said she should be removed from her post in response to the lack of action. 'We have to draw a line in the sand, Benny. We cannot let our cities be gone forever. We will not let these radicals take our cities,' Moreno said. However, some Cincinnati officials shared a vastly different response to the physical altercation. 'Cincinnati city council President Pro Tem Victoria Parks commented on a Facebook video of the fight, saying 'They begged for that beat down! I am grateful for the whole story,' according to WLWT. Mayor Aftab Pureval and others have condemned Park's comments. 'I disagree with Victoria Parks' comments. No one deserves to be a victim of violent crime,' Purveal said per the outlet. 'I am outraged by the vicious fight that occurred downtown,' he said in a separate statement, per AP. 'It is horrifying to watch, and this is unacceptable and disgusting behavior is intolerable in any part of our community.'

US warns of corruption and reported bribery aimed at destabilizing Haiti as crisis deepens
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — U.S. officials announced Friday they are aware of 'reported bribery attempts' aimed at destabilizing Haiti, raising concerns that the troubled country could sink further into crisis. The announcements were made on X by the U.S. Embassy in Haiti and the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs. Officials did not provide details except to say that they commended members of Haiti's transitional presidential council 'for their rejection of corruption' and for collaborating with the current prime minister to 'work together' to stabilize the country. 'We will hold accountable anyone who attempts to undermine this collaboration,' the embassy wrote on X. The announcement comes as infighting threatens the stability of the council while gangs that control up to 90% of Haiti's capital continue to seize more territory in Port-au-Prince and in Haiti's central region . The council's voting members did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Neither did the U.S. Department of State nor the office of Haiti's prime minister. Some people on social media mocked the announcement as they accused some council members of being corrupt. In October last year, Haiti's anti-corruption unit accused three council members of bribery and corruption involving the government-owned National Bank of Credit. No one has been charged, and the council members remain in their positions. Haiti's political stability has been fragile ever since a powerful gang federation known as 'Viv Ansanm' launched attacks early last year on critical government infrastructure including police stations and the country's main international airport, forcing it to close for nearly three months . The attacks prevented then-Prime Minister Ariel Henry from returning to Haiti. He eventually resigned , unable to enter his homeland following an official visit to Kenya to talk about a U.N.-backed mission that police from the eastern African country are currently leading to try and quash gang violence. The council is under pressure to hold general elections by February 2026, with the previous ones held nearly a decade ago. No date has been set yet. The council was created in April 2024 as the international community scrambled to meet with Haitian officials to rebuild the country's government after Henry resigned. Political stability remains fragile, with three prime ministers having been appointed in the past year. Meanwhile, gang violence continues to surge in the aftermath of the July 2021 killing of President Jovenel Moïse. In a report released Friday, the United Nations Integrated Office in Haiti noted that at least 1,520 people were killed and more than 600 injured from April to the end of June. Nearly 80% of those incidents happened in Port-au-Prince, with nearly 20% reported in Haiti's central region. More than 60% of the killings and injuries occurred during operations by security forces against gangs, with another 12% blamed on self-defense groups. The report noted that Johnson André, best known as 'Izo' and considered Haiti's most powerful gang leader, was injured in drone strikes earlier this year, as was gang leader Renel Destina, who goes by 'Ti Lapli' and leads the Grand Ravine gang. From April to June, more than 400 homes and other buildings including schools and health centers 'were ransacked, burned or destroyed by gangs,' the report stated. Gang violence also has displaced more than 1.3 million people in recent years. ___ Associated Press writers Matthew Lee in Washington and Evens Sanon in Port-au-Prince, Haiti contributed. Error!
