By the end of the day, it was still unclear who was the true acting director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau - President Trump's pick of White House budget director Mick Mulvaney or one of the agency's longtime executives, Leandra English.

iMarch For Immigration
This December 7th, New American Economy and Colorado Business Roundtable will be hosting an event to help Congress prepare to take action on the DREAM Act this winter.

Whatever you want to call it, Bitcoin is on an extraordinary run, with the price of a single Bitcoin crossing $10,000 on some exchanges for the first time Monday - less than two months after it crossed $5,000 for the first time.
It is a bull market with few precedents in recent investing history. The Dow Jones industrial average, in its biggest year, 1915, went up 82 percent, or one-tenth as much as Bitcoin has gone up this year. Amazon's red-hot stock is up only one-fifteenth as much as Bitcoin this year.
