Fiber is essential, but increasing intake too quickly can cause bloating, gas, abdominal pain, and even blockages.

A global survey of 4,658 adults across 15 countries finds stablecoins, pegged to the dollar and totaling about $300 billion in market cap, are shifting from a trading tool to everyday money used for payments, payroll, and savings.

The Atlanta Falcons plan to release quarterback Kirk Cousins ahead of the 2026 free-agent period, making the veteran signal-caller available as the quarterback market is expected to be thin. Signed to a $180 million deal in 2024, Cousins spent 2025 backing up Michael Penix Jr. and started eight games with declining numbers after Penix’s ACL injury. With a new regime moving on, Cousins could attract interest as a bridge option, potentially drawing teams like Pittsburgh though competition and age temper expectations.

There are also concerns about a lack of clear legal guardrails and the precedent this sets for future administrations; the long-term market impact remains uncertain.
