There’s a mystery afoot on Capitol Hill. Tucked within the Republican megabill President Donald Trump signed on July 4 was a tax provision that surprised most, if not all, of the Republican members of Congress who voted for it. The provision limits the amount gamblers can deduct from their income taxes based on their losses — and nobody seems to know how it got into the bill.

The riddle before us is a reminder that our lawmakers don’t always know all the relevant details of the legislation they’re being pushed to support. It’s also why, if only to save themselves embarrassment, these GOP senators would have done well to resist Trump’s arbitrary demand that they give him a “big, beautiful bill” to sign by the Fourth of…

Tragedy struck the Saburi 2 community in Abuja on Wednesday following the death of Stephen Chidubem, a young man who reportedly took his own life at his residence on Abba Street, located behind the Anglican Church in the area.

Sources confirmed that Chidubem was found hanging from a ceiling fan with a rope, in what emergency officials and investigators believe to be a case of suicide.

Responders who arrived at the scene quickly evacuated his body to the Kubwa General Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead by a medical doctor.

His remains have since been deposited at the hospital’s mortuary pending an autopsy.

A handwritten suicide note was recovered at the scene, which may have…

London-based vertical farming technology firm Vertical Future has been listed for sale on an insolvency marketplace after posting a sharp decline in revenue and widening financial losses.

The company generated just £692,000 in turnover in 2024, down from £6.7 million the previous year, according to a report by City A.M. Pre-tax losses exceeded £10 million, prompting a strategic review and sale process.

Like others in the vertical farming sector, we have faced significant headwinds in a difficult capital environment. The board continues to work hard to…

“We…think that this is a fit case wherein the judgment under review needs to be recalled and the matter needs to be considered afresh. So needless to say that while we are allowing the review, we keep all the questions available to both parties open to be argued at the stage of hearing,” the bench said.

This statistic also follows the city-state…
