So how did ESG become a political fault line? Investment strategies focused on environmental, social, governance principles have become a popular foil for the GOP, with many of its leaders accusing top money managers of prioritizing a liberal agenda over creating profits for investors. |

Sam Bankman-Fried of FTX is expected to not fight extradition |
Sam Bankman-Fried is unlikely to fight being extradited to the U.S. where he's accused of several criminal and civil charges stemming from the crash of his cryptocurrency exchange FTX. |

But data shows that may be of little comfort to Americans who are increasingly living paycheck to paycheck and potentially paring expenses this holiday season. |
