Fox News: DeSantis pledges to fire Chris Wray, says FBI, DOJ have 'lost their way'
Ron DeSantis, the Republican Governor of Florida and a declared presidential candidate for 2024, has announced that if elected, he will dismiss FBI Director Christopher Wray. DeSantis claimed that the FBI and Department of Justice have “lost their way,” become “weaponized” against Americans and have been politicised. Wray, who was criticised for his apparent role in compiling a report on issues with the Russian investigation during the Trump presidency, was appointed by the former president and is viewed by some as a political rather than an apolitical appointee. DeSantis has vowed that if elected president, he will nominate an attorney general with a “strong backbone” able to withstand left-wing media attacks, as well as firing any Justice Department employees found to have participated in “colluding” with tech officials to censor information.
DeSantis also spoke about his wider political vision, including his plans to tackle “wokeism” in both education and commerce, stating that it is “a form of cultural Marxism” designed to war on the truth. He later lashed out at the NAACP after its president, Derrick Johnson, issued a “travel warning” against Black people visiting Florida, particularly in light of the state's new voter laws. DeSantis asked why the NAACP wasn't focusing on genuine threats to minority communities such as underperforming schools or violent crime rates in Baltimore, stating that Floridian numbers of both tourism and education participation had contributions from board members of the NAACP. DeSantis addresses a wider range of topics, including illegal immigration and healthcare reforms.

Forbes: Retail On Edge: Debt Ceiling, Interest Rates, China, And Biden Trade Policy
Big retailers have managed to survive through cost control, less discounting, and lower inbound shipping prices.
