Senate proposes curbing tax exemption for charities against Atlantic seal hunt
This aerial view shows seals on Ile Dorion Beach, a protected island of Les Iles-de-la-Madeleine, Quebec, Canada, on May 30, 2023. On Canada's Atlantic coast, there are gray, harp, harbor, bearded, hooded and ringed seals. Commercial hunting mainly targets the first two species. During the 1950s and 1960s, hunters could make money from the pups' white coats, highly sought after by the fashion industry. That practice was banned in 1987. The US banned seal products since 1972. And in 2010, the European Union imposed an embargo because of hunting methods that were deemed too cruel. Today, seals are mostly hunted locally for their meat, which is served in some high-end restaurants across Quebec. (Photo by Sebastien ST-JEAN / AFP) (Photo by SEBASTIEN ST-JEAN/AFP via Getty Images)

Have long-term yields peaked, or just paused?
Traders work before the closing bell at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on August 14, 2019 in New York City. - It was an ugly day for Wall Street, as stocks plummeted Wednesday amid worsening economic fears after US Treasury yields briefly inverted, flashing a warning sign for a coming recession. But US President Donald Trump once again blamed the Fed for the economic woes and the yield curve inversion, saying the US central bank is a bigger threat than China and is "clueless." The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 3.1 percent to finish at 25,479.42, a loss of about 800 points -- its worst day of 2019. (Photo by Johannes EISELE / AFP)JOHANNES EISELE/AFP/Getty Images
