Chicago’s housing market is showing remarkable strength in 2025, surpassing national growth rates and attracting the attention of buyers, sellers, and analysts alike.

Experts attribute this surge to a combination of factors, including limited housing supply, steady employment growth, and increased interest from both local and out-of-state buyers.

Donald Trump has threatened to impose 100% tariffs on Chinese imports starting 1 November, accusing Beijing of “very hostile” trade moves. The warning came after China expanded export restrictions on rare earths — materials vital for US manufacturing, including electric cars and jet engines. “Perhaps the time has come,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, saying the tariffs would apply “over and above” existing duties and could begin “sooner” if China retaliates. He also announced new export controls on “critical software,” signaling a broader crackdown on technology trade. The threat reignites tensions between the world’s two largest economies, just months after…
This investigation is based on reporting by Riva Pomerantz, first published in Ami Magazine (October 2025), which revealed new documents, testimony, and intelligence linking UBS to undisclosed Nazi-era assets. When Judge Edward Kormann signed the 1998 Holocaust-era Swiss Banks Settlement, the world believed the chapter on Nazi-era accounts was finally closed. Boxes of records, correspondence, and frozen ledgers were transferred to a secure U.S. Federal Court archive — later sealed inside the Jewish Museum of Washington, where they remain to this day. But new evidence now suggests the settlement may not have ended the story at all — only sealed…
Scientists have developed what they say is the first accurate blood test to diagnose myalgic encephalomyelitis, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). The condition, which causes severe and long-lasting exhaustion not relieved by rest, has no definitive diagnostic test. Patients are usually diagnosed through symptoms, a process that can take years and lead to frequent misdiagnosis. Researchers from the University of East Anglia (UEA) and Oxford Biodynamics (OBD) say their new blood test could change that. By studying how DNA folds in the blood, they identified a distinct molecular pattern seen only in people with ME/CFS. The study, published…

A recent survey shows that Europeans are reducing alcohol consumption, mainly for health and taste reasons rather than financial concerns. The study highlights a growing shift in drinking habits, particularly among younger adults.

Among adults aged 25 to 35, nearly a quarter reported that they have stopped drinking entirely. Non-alcoholic beverages are becoming increasingly popular, now making up nearly 60% of Europe’s €166 billion beverage market. These drinks have grown by 5.1% year-on-year, while traditional alcoholic drinks saw a decline of…
