Donald Trump will make his first post-presidency visit to Washington, D.C., today to deliver the keynote address at the America First Agenda Summit. Some Republicans told Politico they hope Trump’s speech mirrors the summit’s policy priorities, which include "lowering energy and gasoline prices, combating historic inflation, giving parents more control of their children's education, fighting crime in our cities, and securing the border." As rumblings about Trump’s decision to run in 2024 grow, and the House Select Committee continues its investigation of his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection, the speaking engagement comes at an undoubtedly volatile time for the former president. CHEDDAR NEWS

Alphabet, Meta, Amazon and Apple all report their latest quarterly earnings this week in the face of several headwinds buffeting the U.S. economy. Perhaps the biggest factor is inflation, which has forced companies to tighten their marketing budgets, a potentially bad sign for Alphabet and Meta, the country’s two largest companies in digital advertising revenue. Other challenges include the hiring freezes and supply chain woes that are affecting how these tech corporations do business. Cheddar News’ Michelle Castillo explains how these challenges will move markets and spark conversation about the economy going forward. CHEDDAR NEWS

The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), which sets the central bank's benchmark interest rate, will meet this week, and the financial world is abuzz with speculation about how far the nation's top bankers will go to bring down inflation. Up for debate is whether the Fed will tack on another 75-basis-point increase (that's finance-speak for three-quarters of a percentage point) as many analysts are predicting, or if it will pull back to 50 basis points. Cheddar News’ Alex Vuocolo reports on this and what new data expected later this week could mean for the direction of the economy. CHEDDAR NEWS

Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, tested positive for Covid yesterday.

Yesterday, we touched on the fact that shark populations are rising. While this may be discomforting to beachgoers, it’s actually something to celebrate because sharks are not only vital to the ocean ecosystem, they can also help to protect against climate change by boosting the growth of carbon dioxide-trapping plants like seagrass by feeding on organisms that eat the grass. Besides, sharks themselves feel the effects of the manmade climate crisis, and shark attacks — referred to as "incidents" in the scientific community — are uncommon; in 2021, 73 unprovoked bites were reported globally. CHEDDAR NEWS
