NEW YORK (AP) – Wall Street on Friday reached the limit of the bear market after another fall in shares for a short time led the S&P 500 more than 20% below the peak set earlier this year. The S&P 500 was down as much as 2.3% for the day before a fierce final hour of buying led to a slight increase. It ended 18.7% below its record. The tumultuous trading ended the seventh week in a row, the longest series since 2001.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Recently discovered emails show that Virginia “Ginny” Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, has been more deeply involved in baseless efforts to cancel the 2020 election than previously known.

Judge: Restrictions on COVID asylum should continue at the border

NEW ORLEANS (AP) – A federal judge in Louisiana is refusing to lift pandemic-related restrictions on migrants seeking asylum on the southern border.

Sullivan also called on China to use its influence to persuade the North to stop testing.

Only the test dummy was aboard the capsule for Friday’s docking, a huge achievement for Boeing after years of false starts.
