FBI Director Wray says he intends to resign before Trump takes office in JanuaryWhat's New? Toyota followed Ford 's lead and donated $1 million toward President-elect Donald Trump 's inauguration in January, The Hill reported. Why It Matters Trump has pledged to impose tariffs on Chinese, Canadian and Mexican goods, which could result in a 17 percent drop in automakers' profits, according to a recent report from S&P Global. Carmakers and tech giants appear to be trying to get ahead of that by gaining Trump's favor, by way of generous donations, before he takes office. Newsweek reached out to Toyota North America via phone and Ford via email for comment. What To Know Ford Motor Co. announced on Monday that it would donate $1 million and a small fleet of vehicles toward Trump's inauguration. Toyota North America followed suit on Tuesday, pledging $1 million to Trump's inaugural fund, which is a fundraising effort that supports the president-elect's inauguration and related events. Earlier this month, Meta , Amazon and Open AI CEO Sam Altman all pledged seven-figure donations to Trump's inauguration fund. Facebook's parent company announced it would donate $1 million to the fund, sparking anger from some on both sides of the political aisle. The announcement came two weeks after Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg met with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. Zuckerberg and Trump have had a strained relationship in recent years. Tensions between the two men hit a boiling point after Facebook banned Trump in the wake of the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Trump later repeatedly threatened to jail Zuckerberg, alleging that he personally conspired to rig the 2020 election against Trump. The Meta CEO, for his part, has publicly praised Trump, likely in an effort to defuse hostilities before Trump takes office. In addition to commending Trump's response to a July assassination attempt, Zuckerberg joined a slew of other business and tech moguls in congratulating Trump after he won the 2024 U.S. election. The Wall Street Journal reported earlier this month that Amazon would also be donating $1 million to Trump's fund, as will OpenAI 's Altman. What People Are Saying Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized donations to Trump's inaugural fund, telling The Independent : Trump's "reliance on private donors to fund the transition" is "nothing more than a ploy for well-connected Trump insiders to line their pockets while pretending to save taxpayers money." Ford CEO Jim Farley told reporters earlier this month that he's looking forward to working with the Trump administration: Given "Ford's employment profile and importance in the US economy and manufacturing, you can imagine the administration will be very interested in Ford's point of view." What Happens Next? Trump's will be inaugurated on January 20 in Washington, D.C. At around noon, Trump will recite the following oath: "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Hanesbrands Inc. stock underperforms Thursday when compared to competitors despite daily gainsBears tight end Cole Kmet is a Matt Eberflus guy. While teammates have not been shy about challenging Eberflus in the locker room after frustrating losses, questioning Eberflus’ in-game decisions or bemoaning the lack of accountability by him and his coaching staff, Kmet has been the most loyal soldier. “I’m still going to go about my process throughout the week and do what I do, but it’s hard when you take in the human side of it — the emotions to it. It’s a lot to deal with,” Kmet said Thursday. “Coach is a guy I’ve developed a really good relationship with over the past three years. It’s definitely hard to say goodbye to people when things like this happen. But it’s also part of the business.” But even Kmet acknowledges the reality that in tough times, change is good. After the frustration of too many prominent players reached a breaking point following the loss to the Lions on Thanksgiving Day at Ford Field, the firing of Eberflus has given the Bears a chance to exhale. Nobody knows where it will lead, but the breath of fresh air is a good start. “Yeah, I will say that — I think there is a little bit of an exhale to it,” Kmet said. “I think the exhale for me happened [Wednesday], just finally moving on from it when you get on the grass and practice. For me, it always signifies moving on to the next week.” If there was division in the Bears locker room as the losses mounted, it was mostly a matter of degree. Some players were vehement about Eberflus’ culpability, some were annoyed by it but weren’t going to make waves. And others were too focused on doing their own job and just hoped it would get better. But nobody has emerged who thinks firing Eberflus was the wrong move. There was too much at stake. “There’s obviously been a lot of frustration,” Kmet said. “I think frustration happens just because of what we see in the locker room and who we have. We feel like we should be better at this point. “Look at the three division games we’ve played [a 20-19 loss to the Packers, a 30-27 overtime loss to the Vikings, a 23-20 loss to the Lions]. You tally up the [point differential], it comes to seven points. You’re not far off, but the record is where it’s at right now. You’re a handful of plays from competing for a playoff spot — that’s how close it is. But close isn’t good enough, and we have to find a way to get these results.” For Kmet, that’s progress. When Matt Nagy was fired after the 2021 season, Justin Fields was 2-8 as a rookie starter with a 73.2 passer rating and the Bears needed a roster overhaul. “Yeah, I was in that situation when the previous staff was let go,” Kmet said. “You knew the next year wasn’t going to look so pretty and it obviously didn’t. I think we’ve got a lot of talent in the room. Caleb being a rookie quarterback on the ascension and looking really good — there’s a lot of promise going forward for sure.” Kmet is in his fifth NFL season, but wide receiver Keenan Allen is in his 12th. You can tell he’s been around. “Changes happen, but change isn’t always good,” Allen said. “So we’ll see.” Allen, like many of his teammates is impressed with interim head coach Thomas Brown — who was promoted to offensive coordinator three weeks ago when Shane Waldron was fired. “His energy, his confidence and probably just knowing the game,” Allen said when asked what about Brown has impressed him the most. Can he turn this thing around? “We’ve got to wait and see,” Allen said. “But yeah, I do.”

CLEVELAND (AP) — Only the Cleveland Browns. Only a team beset by perpetual problems at quarterback for the better part of two decades can get a record-setting 497-yard, four-touchdown, jaw-dropping, where-did-that-come-from performance on Monday night from Jameis Winston — and still lose. History wrapped in misery. Only the Browns. Winston spoiled a high-level performance in Denver's thin air by throwing a pair of pick-sixes — the second with 1:48 remaining — as the Broncos rode big plays to a 41-32 win over the Browns (3-9), who have to wonder what their disappointing season might look like if Deshaun Watson had been benched before getting hurt. The loss ended any illusions the Browns had of making a late playoff push like they did a year ago. It also clinched the team's 22nd losing season since its expansion rebirth in 1999. In his fifth start this season, Winston provided further evidence that the Browns made a major mistake by not switching QBs long before Watson ruptured his Achilles tendon on Oct. 20 against Cincinnati. Cleveland's offense has come alive behind Winston, who has thrown for over 300 yards three times, something Watson didn't do in 19 starts over his three suspension-shortened, injury-riddled seasons with the Browns. While there were some positives, Winston's turnovers were too costly. "You’re not going to play perfect at the quarterback position. He knows that," coach Kevin Stefanski said Tuesday on a Zoom call. “I know that ultimately he wants to do anything in his power to help this team win and that’s going to be taking care of the ball. But he also had moments there where he was moving that offense and did a nice job.” Winston may not be the long-term answer for the Browns, but he's showing he can at least give them a viable option for 2025 while the club sorts through the tangled Watson situation, which continues to have a stranglehold on the franchise. In all likelihood, and assuming he's fully recovered, Watson will be back next season in some capacity with the Browns, who are still on the hook to pay him $92 million — of his fully guaranteed $230 million contract — over the next two seasons. Releasing Watson would have damaging salary-cap implications, and while that would be a bitter financial pill for owners Dee and Jimmy Haslam to swallow, it could the Browns' safest and easiest exit strategy. And if they needed any proof that such a strategy can work, the Browns only had to look across the field at the Broncos, who got out from under QB Russell Wilson's monster contract by cutting him, taking the financial hit and drafting Bo Nix. After some common early growing pains, Nix has settled in and the rookie has the Broncos in the mix for a postseason berth. It wasn't long ago that the Browns thought their quarterback concerns were behind them. Instead, they lie ahead. Stefanski's decision to hand over the play-calling duties to first-year coordinator Ken Dorsey has been a positive. While the move hasn't led directly to many wins, the Browns have moved the ball much more effectively and scored at least 20 points in three of five games since the switch after not scoring 20 in their first eight. An issue all season, Cleveland's defense was again gashed for long plays and TDs, including a 93-yard scoring pass in the third quarter. The Browns have allowed 48 plays of 20-plus yards and 12 of at least 40 yards. WR Jerry Jeudy. His return to Denver was a personal and professional triumph — except on the scoreboard. Vowing revenge on the Broncos, who traded him to the Browns in March, Jeudy had the best game of his career, catching nine passes for 235 yards and a TD. Since Winston took over as Cleveland's starter, Jeudy leads the league with 614 yards receiving. Jeudy just might be the No. 1 receiver the Browns have needed following Amari Cooper's trade. Jordan Hicks gets an honorable mention after recording 12 tackles. K Dustin Hopkins. He missed a 47-yard field goal to end Cleveland's first drive, setting the tone for a night of missed opportunities. After making 33 of 36 field goal tries in his first season with the Browns, Hopkins is just 16 of 23, with his inaccuracy raising questions why the team signed him to a three-year, $15.9 million contract in July. Stefanski had no updates from the game. ... LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah remains sidelined with a neck injury suffered on Nov. 2. Stefanski ruled him out again for Sunday's game at Pittsburgh. 552 — Yards of total offense for the Browns, just 10 shy of the single-game franchise record set in 1989. A short turnaround before visiting the Steelers (9-3), who will be looking to avenge their 24-19 loss in Cleveland on Nov. 21.

Mother-daughter duo pursuing university dreams at the same timeTHE drums of war are beating. Vladimir Putin is threatening to incinerate all of us in a nuclear conflagration. In response, the feeble, cash-strapped European Union is struggling to raise an army after decades of feasting on an ­imaginary peace dividend. Alarm bells are sounding for the first time since the Cold War as Ukraine unleashes UK and US missiles deep inside Russia , raising the risk of pan-European conflict. Scary times. But are we really facing World War Three ? To quote Dad’s Army’s Lance Corporal Jones: “Don’t panic!” Read More on World News At least, not yet. Still, frontline states such as Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland are taking the threat seriously. Peacenik Germany has finally woken up to the Russian menace and invited 800,000 Nato troops to carry out war games on its soil. In America, you can buy “affordable bunkers to survive the apocalypse now — fallout shelters that won’t break the bank” — at $140,000 a pop. Most read in The Sun Here in Britain, an online newspaper captures the mood with survival tips such as: “How to stop your skin melting” and “Why you should keep your mouth open so your eardrums don’t burst . . .” One misstep away from global conflict Nothing sells better than a horror story. The truth is that the world is paying dearly for the absurd 76-day power gap between Donald Trump’s election as US President on November 5 and his inauguration on January 20 . The vacuum is being filled by sabre-rattling as both sides in the Ukraine conflict strive to make irreversible gains before Trump enters the White House . The crisis has been stoked by doddery Joe Biden , who belatedly handed Ukraine the long-range missiles it might have previously used to end the war. Instead, President Volodymyr Zelensky’s attacks deep inside Russia have provoked the Kremlin into threatening nuclear retaliation. On Thursday, after hitting the Ukrainian city of Dnipro with a nuke-capable hypersonic Oreshnik missile, Putin declared the UK and US could now be targets for Russia. We need to calm down. Even Mad Vlad is not crazy enough to nuke the West. And if he were, China wouldn’t let him. Moscow and Beijing may be joined at the hip in seeking to hobble the mighty American colossus. But Beijing dictator Xi Jinping intends to achieve this by stealth and coercion — not by letting his junior partner unleash Apocalypse Now. This is not to understate the unnervingly sinister risk to world peace. We have learned from two ­catastrophic world wars — and the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis — that we are always just one hideous misstep away from global conflict. Amid this crisis, we find ourselves in the hands of the most unpredictable and erratic world leader of modern times. Donald Trump has stoked tensions by threatening to turn the world’s economic, diplomatic and military order on its head. He is ready to crack heads together in the Middle East , sink China’s exports and launch trade wars with Europe. But first up, Ukraine. The 47th President-elect is ready to walk away from a European conflict which he insists has absolutely nothing to do with the US. Yet while European Union leaders have dithered and wrung their hands, American taxpayers forked out £140BILLION in aid and arms to Ukraine. Enough is enough, says Trump. This might be a bluff by the world’s biggest bluffer. But only a fool would call it. Which explains why Kyiv leader Zelensky is grabbing every weapon he can lay hands on to beat off the Russian bear while he still has time. They include the long-range American ATACMS and, thanks to PM Keir Starmer , Britain’s lethal Storm Shadow cruise missiles , already deployed with devastating effect this week. And yet, admirable as this may be in defence of brave Ukraine, it merely prolongs an unwinnable war. Putin, himself a formidable negotiator, has raised the stakes by insisting foreign-made weapons used against Russia are grounds for nuclear retaliation . This leaves the EU dangerously exposed. Despite the overlapping membership of Nato, the EU’s 27 member states have become flabbily impotent. For half a century, taxpayers’ trillions have been lavished on social-welfare spending while mere pennies have been set aside for the military. Armies are depleted while naval and air defences are running on fumes. In the face of the biggest threat to peace since World War Two , Europe today stands effectively defenceless. During his first term of office, President Trump put a bomb under EU leaders, making them cough up more cash for military spending. But not enough. Germany, which once armed its troops with broomsticks instead of rifles, is the worst culprit. Despite its role as the EU’s economic dynamo, the Ukraine conflict has shown it was totally dependent on Russian oil and gas. Now, with the heat on, Berlin is offering to host 800,000 Nato troops on its soil to defend the Fatherland if Russia invades Finland or the Baltic states. Under Article 51 of the Nato alliance, an attack on any of its 32 member nations is deemed an attack on all. Formerly pacifist regimes now understand the only way to preserve peace is to prepare for war. In 1960s, we practised diving under the table Late in the day, Europe’s liberal elites in countries such as Sweden and Holland have ordered industrial and agricultural interests to stockpile food, fuel and vital equipment including diesel generators. Which underscores the madness of Keir Starmer’s declaration of war on Britain’s hard-pressed farmers. We may soon need every acre to plant crops and dig for victory. Nor can Labour now justify its decision to mothball our coal, gas and oil resources at a time of soaring energy prices in pursuit of Ed Miliband’s insane Net Zero deadline. Voters will also ask why this Government is scrapping five Royal Navy warships, dozens of military helicopters and drones and perhaps even our two brand-new aircraft carriers. If our plodding PM has learned anything from his never-ending overseas meetings with world leaders, it is surely that socialism is no substitute for a proper defence policy. We have been through similar crises in the past, not least the decades-long Cold War when the Kremlin really did pose a nuclear threat to our survival. In the 1960s we lived with the possibility of imminent attack, heralded only by a “four-minute warning” on old war-time sirens. We practised diving under the dining room table, or standing in doorways which are more likely to survive a blast. The best-selling book On The Beach portrayed Aussies awaiting their “last days on Earth” after a nuclear war in the northern hemisphere. Peter Sellers made us laugh nervously in Dr Strangelove Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb. Women protesting against Polaris missiles camped out for years at RAF Greenham Common, while “Red Ken” Livingstone fatuously declared London a “nuclear-free zone”. By the 1980s, East-West negotiations reached the basis for an uneasy truce. It was literally MAD — “Mutually Assured Destruction”. Press the red button and we all die. In my early days as The Sun’s Political Editor, I accompanied PM Margaret Thatcher to Moscow for various talks with Soviet leaders. I had a ringside seat at one of the most significant disarmament summits between Russia’s Mikhail Gorbachev and American President Ronald Reagan . The superpower leaders agreed on huge, if symbolic, missile cuts, captured on Page One of The Sun by an image of nukes launched harmlessly into the Pacific Ocean. “We reaffirmed our solemn conviction that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought,” said the two world leaders in 1988. The Berlin Wall fell one year later, marking the so-called End Of History. But nuclear weapons cannot be disinvented. Mutually Assured Destruction remains the only bulwark against Armageddon. Luckily, Donald Trump is a master of The Art Of The Deal. Putin is desperate to be treated with respect on the world stage, not as a global pariah. For all his bombast, he knows his country has suffered disastrous losses in blood and treasure from his blundering assault on Ukraine. Tough call for so-called European superstate Sanctions have blocked Russia’s stagnant economy from Western advances in technology. A permanent ceasefire is negotiable, but only if Putin is not humiliated. There could be deals which revive Russia’s lucrative trade in oil and gas. Putin will want to be re-admitted to the top table of the world’s most powerful economies, making the G7 into the G8 once again. Brave Ukraine cannot fight on without allied support. Nor should it be abandoned to exist in a “frozen war”, perpetually intimidated by Russia. Which is where the European Union must step in. Ukraine is now Europe’s responsibility, not America’s. The EU’s member states must find the resources to guard their own borders. They can rely on Nato — which includes the US and UK — but only if they raise defence spending by billions. This is a tough call for the so-called European superstate, which has spent the past five decades effectively disarming. READ MORE SUN STORIES A failure of will at this crucial point would be disastrous. If Putin digs his heels in on Ukraine, we might yet find ourselves buying “affordable bunkers to survive the apocalypse”.An unpredictable week in college football continued Wednesday, as UCLA offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy was fired , with likely plans to return to the NFL next season. Fewer than four hours later, Tino Sunseri, Indiana's quarterback coach and co-offensive coordinator, was reportedly hired to replace Bieniemy, according to The Indianapolis Star . The news initially came from Hoosiers beat writer Zach Osterman, who cleared the mess in a single tweet. "Breaking: Source tells IndyStar that Tino Sunseri, IU's QBs coach/co-OC, will leave Indiana for the open offensive coordinator job at UCLA at the end of the season. Sunseri will remain with the Hoosiers through the Playoff," Osterman wrote just after 1 p.m. ET. Outside of a Week 13 loss to Ohio State, this is the only negative mark on a near-perfect season Indiana could have had. Coach Curt Cignetti now has a missing piece, one that will need to be filled rather quickly ahead of much greater anticipation for the football program next fall. As for Bieniemy, it was always the plan to disassociate from UCLA, according to his agent, Jason Fletcher. The statement comes from a post on Adam Schefter's Instagram , which has garnered over 30,000 likes in two hours. "Eric and UCLA mutually parted ways today as previously planned," the statement read. "He’s still getting paid by the Commanders. After interviewing for head coaching jobs last year, he wanted to stay active and busy. So, he decided to go help out Deshaun Foster, who is like his little brother, at UCLA as opposed to sitting out a year. The plan was always to return to the NFL in 2025, and he’s looking forward to the opportunities ahead." Indiana is seeking its first College Football Playoff appearance in program history. Last Saturday, it kept its national title hopes alive with a 66-point rout of Purdue. The Hoosiers and Ohio State Buckeyes were the odd teams out of the Big Ten Championship Game thanks to Penn State's win against Maryland and the Buckeyes' loss to the bowl-eligible Michigan Wolverines. Indiana is ranked No. 9 entering conference championship weekend , marking the 10th time the feat has been reached in school history.

Vardy helps Van Nistelrooy to first win with Leicester as Guehi defies the FA with religious messageThe basketball world cannot afford to see LeBron James go out sad, and that’s exactly what will happen if he doesn’t work a trade away from the Los Angeles Lakers. On Wednesday afternoon, Lakers head coach JJ Redick told reporters that James wasn’t with the team for personal reasons. "LeBron is not with the team right now," Redick said after practice . "He's out for personal reasons, excused absence." James missed Sunday’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers with a foot injury. It was the first game he had missed all season. But now he’s away from the team for personal reasons, and with the Lakers just two games above .500, holding onto the eighth seed in the Western Conference, it could be time for a change. Remember, despite drafting his son, Bronny James, in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft, James was frustrated with the Lakers this offseason because of their inability to add a third superstar to pair alongside himself and Anthony Davis. He signed an extension but really only committed to the Lakers for one more season. James has played 22 years in the league. At the end of the month, he will turn 40 years old. There’s no denying that his days playing in the NBA are numbered. There’s also no denying that he understands the inner workings of the NBA unlike any player before him. He’s oftentimes criticized for popularizing the superteam when he teamed up with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh on the Miami Heat. He has to know this Lakers squad is not going anywhere, especially in a Western Conference loaded with young talent. He’s been known to force a thing or two, and now it’s time for him to force his way out of Los Angeles and chase another championship before he calls it a career. When the news dropped about his absence from practice, NBA rumor mills immediately started cranking out trade rumors. Where could his fourth team be? The Golden State Warriors are a west coast destination that would allow him to stay close to his family based in Los Angeles. They’re currently the No. 5 seed in the West and could allow James to actually contend for a championship. The Cleveland Cavaliers are another option, as James has already returned home and played the role of hero once already, delivering a championship in 2016. He’s much older now, but so are the Cavs, who have the best record in the NBA. This reunion might just make all the sense in the world. Nobody knows for sure why James is away from the Lakers right now. But it would undoubtedly be in his best interest to move on from the Lakers. This is his seventh year donning the purple and gold and has just one championship to show for it with a bunch of early playoff exits, or worse, not making the postseason at all. Still averaging 23 points, nine assists and eight rebounds per game, James has more to give to the game of basketball. He has accomplished everything there is to accomplish, including suiting up with his son. That's pretty damn special. It’s time to win that last championship ring and ride off into the sunset as the greatest ever.

( MENAFN - GlobeNewsWire - Nasdaq) DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Dec. 24, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BricklayerDAO is setting a new standard in the intersection of blockchain technology and real estate. Frustrated by the limited returns and lack of control in traditional Real estate investment, Nick and Denis founded a platform that merges the flexibility of blockchain Technology with the stability of real estate investment trusts (REITs). Their extensive experience in commercial real estate, spanning a collective 30 years and encompassing billions in transactions, has paved the way for an innovative model. This model not only reduces barriers to entry for institutional-grade real estate but also empowers investors by providing unprecedented levels of participation. At its core, BricklayerDAO operates on two tokens that drive its ecosystem: MRTR , a utility token central to governance, and BRCK , a value token directly tied to real-world assets (RWAs). Nick explains this model,“Our dual-token system is designed to ensure robust engagement and transparency while empowering holders to influence investment strategies directly. MRTR tokens give stakeholders a voice in governance through staking and voting, with innovative quadratic voting mechanisms that balance power between large and small holders. At the same time, $BRCK tokens derive their value from tokenised real-world assets, such as industrial warehouses leased by Fortune 50 companies on long-term agreements, offering the community a cash flow-backed and tangible investment opportunity.” The DAO's governance system is designed with meticulous attention to community-driven decision-making. From idea formulation to final implementation, members contribute at every stage, with proposals rigorously vetted through forums, temperature checks, and voting. Further, BricklayerDAO's operations are underpinned by a commitment to efficient capital reserves. Fiat accounts, maintained in local jurisdictions for operational requirements, are transparently monitored through blockchain oracles, bridging the gap between traditional and digital economies. Virtual assets, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, are managed through the Quarry , the platform's digital mining network, contributing to the steady growth of reserves while offering stability in volatile markets. This dual-exposure strategy enables BricklayerDAO to balance growth and liquidity effectively. Denis highlights,“What truly sets BricklayerDAO apart is the seamless integration of PropTech innovations with decentralised finance. By tokenising real estate assets and utilising Chainlink oracles, we bridge the gap between off-chain value and blockchain technology, creating a transparent and efficient system that redefines how real estate investments are managed.” By acquiring and managing both traditional and tokenised real estate, BricklayerDAO opens institutional-grade opportunities to a global audience without compromising on diligence or asset quality. Its acquisition strategy prioritises industrial assets with high-credit tenants, maximising rental yields while supporting long-term value appreciation for BRCK holders. Central to the DAO's mission is its tenant-friendly approach, designed to reduce costs and nurture flexibility for occupiers. Partnerships with key stakeholders create an equitable real estate ecosystem that aligns the interests of investors and tenants. Through the Bricktop A.I real estate assistant tool, BricklayerDAO simplifies opportunity identification and asset management, integrating data-driven insights to optimise site selection, leasing, and market positioning. The Masonry (MSRY) NFTs add a unique dimension to the ecosystem, offering members benefits ranging from early access to services and fee discounts to boosted governance influence. Available in four rarity tiers: Clay, Granite, Marble, and Special , these NFTs reward active community participation while promoting loyalty. BricklayerDAO's Kiln mechanism further incentivises engagement by linking NFT distribution to $BRCK token purchases, ensuring alignment between token value and user benefits. BricklayerDAO's entry into the market also marks a significant step in preparing the real estate industry for a new era of blended assets. By advancing Web3 technologies, the DAO provides real estate vendors with tools for efficient, transparent, and globally accessible transactions. Its efforts are shaping the gig economy's role in property management and investment, allowing real estate professionals and on-chain enthusiasts to engage in every facet of RWA transactions. Nick shares his enthusiasm,“Launching BricklayerDAO is a monumental step for us, and we're genuinely thrilled to bring this vision to life. We've built this platform with a strong foundation of trust, transparency, and innovation, ensuring that it serves the best interests of the market and its participants. We are dedicated to building the world's most verifiable RWA value offering ecosystem on-chain.” Denis adds,“This isn't just about creating a platform; it's about setting a new standard for real estate and blockchain integration. We're committed to delivering value and opportunity in good faith to our investors, the community, and the broader industry, paving the way for a more inclusive and equitable future.” BricklayerDAO invites investors and real estate professionals to join this transformative journey. As it continues to redefine property investment, the DAO offers not only a platform but a community, a space where collaboration and innovation pave the way to a more inclusive and efficient real estate ecosystem.

Trump announced last month that he's nominating Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, a first-term Republican who just lost a tough reelection fight in a Democratic-leaning Oregon district, to serve as his Secretary of Labor. Unlike most Republicans, she's positioned herself as an ally of labor unions, has co-sponsored major Democratic pro-union bills, and has earned the backing of some prominent labor leaders ahead of her Senate confirmation battle next year. "Oftentimes, you'll get a nominee out of a Republican administration who has had an anti-labor record," said Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia. "Her track record would suggest she could be a good advocate." Chavez-DeRemer is one of just three House Republicans who've cosponsored the PRO Act, a that would override state-level "right-to-work" laws that Republicans have long supported while strengthening workers' ability to form unions. She was also one of just eight House Republicans to cosponsor a separate bill that would guarantee public-sector employees the right to organize. "I've only heard good things," said Democratic Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania. "She's a supporter of the PRO Act, and that's like the holy grail of labor." Several Democratic senators have offered conditional praise for Chavez-DeRemer, indicating that they're willing to support her nomination if she commits to strengthening labor unions in her new position. Meanwhile, many Republicans are declining to weigh in on her support for pro-labor legislation, saying they'd like to meet with her first. But a handful of them, particularly those who are more supportive of right-to-work laws, have publicly expressed reservations about her. Sen. Bill Cassidy, the top Republican on the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, that he needed a "better understanding of her support for Democrat legislation in Congress that would strip Louisiana's ability to be a right to work state, and if that will be her position going forward." "I don't know her, don't really know much about her record, other than what I've read," said Republican Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin. "Some of those things she supports would give me some concern." A spokesperson for Chavez-DeRemer told BI that she would reserve comment on her nomination out of respect for the confirmation process, but that she looks forward to advancing the Trump administration's policies. Chavez-DeRemer's nomination comes as the GOP's relationship with labor has begun to shifted, with self-styled populists like Sens. JD Vance of Ohio and Josh Hawley of Missouri to take a more worker-friendly approach than it has before. And in recent years, organized labor and labor unions have enjoyed a bipartisan . Fetterman argued that it was "smart" for Trump to nominate Chavez-DeRemer, given the drift of union voters into the GOP in recent elections. "I think that means that he's making a move to continue to grab even more votes out of the unions," said Fetterman. But Chavez-DeRemer won't have singular power of labor policy in America, and Trump's appointees to the National Labor Relations Board will likely be especially consequential for .

"Donald Trump has not exactly been an ally of working families and and labor. So if she's confirmed, we'll see how she does," said Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden, who said he wanted to make sure his fellow Oregonian got a "fair shake" in her confirmation hearings. "I'll be listening closely to her testimony." In a statement offering conditional praise for Chavez-DeRemer, Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts argued that Chavez-DeRemer's nomination offers an "early test" of whether Trump will "stand strong with workers or bow down to his corporate donors and the Republican establishment's opposition." "If Republican Senators block Trump's labor nominee for standing with unions, it will show that the party's support for workers is all talk," said Warren. Hawley, who supports Chavez-DeRemer's nomination, said that her confirmation will indeed be a "test of whether or not the party is going to follow this president on his agenda for labor and for workers." For now, many Republicans appear to be in wait-and-see mode — and a GOP desire to show party unity could help keep Republican support from cratering. "My bias is supporting President Trump in staffing his administration with the people he wants around him," said Johnson. "I don't support the PRO Act. I think the PRO Act is not good policy," said Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas. "But I'll assess every nominee on the merits." Read the original article on
