That threatened to break the long-standing norm of letting the central bank make its own decisions about what's best for the economy.

My colleague Colby Smith, who covers the Fed, says Warsh has repeatedly denied that he'll follow Trump's lead on interest rates, but he has said he wants to shake things up.

In South Carolina, the state's top court overturned the murder convictions against Alex Murdoch yesterday, a surprise reversal in one of the most high-profile homicide cases in the country.

Murdoch was convicted in 2023 of killing his wife and his 22-year-old son.

Their deaths on the family's rural hunting estate sparked intense fascination.

And the case set off a wave of true crime documentaries and podcasts.

People were fascinated by the once-prominent family, now engulfed in accusations of embezzlement and murder.

At his trial, a jury convicted Murdoch in less than three hours after being shown a video of him at the crime scene where he had originally denied being.

Now, though, the state Supreme Court has ruled that a court clerk committed what it called shocking jury interference.

Some jurors said that she would talk to them about Alex Murdoch's testimony, including saying that they should not be fooled by him.

The clerk has also pleaded guilty to using her government job for personal gain by promoting a book she wrote about the case.

The South Carolina Attorney General's Office will now retry Murdoch for the killings, which he denies committing.

He will remain behind bars, though, because he's also been sentenced to decades in prison for stealing millions of dollars from his law firm and former clients.

Jason Collins, the first active NBA player to come out as gay, died this week at 47 years old.

His family said the cause was an aggressive form of brain cancer.

Back in 2013, Collins sparked a national conversation after he wrote an essay for Sports Illustrated declaring, quote, I'm a 34-year-old NBA center, I'm black, and I'm gay.

President Obama called him up.

He was a guest at the next State of the Union, and he went on Oprah.

It was a time when the gay rights movement was making significant strides, but gay marriage was not yet legal nationwide.
