SUMMARY: Pope Francis made a surprise appearance at St. Peter’s Square during a Jubilee Mass for the sick and health workers, his first since leaving the hospital after a life-threatening bout of pneumonia. Speaking with a stronger voice, he thanked the crowd and reflected on his illness, describing it as a time of vulnerability and learning to accept love and support.

Tariffs will make sneakers, jeans and almost everything Americans wear cost more, trade groups warn
SUMMARY: U.S. families may face significantly higher costs for back-to-school clothing and shoes this fall due to tariffs imposed by the Trump administration on major clothing exporters. With approximately 97% of U.S. apparel imports sourced from countries like China, Vietnam, and Bangladesh, industry groups warn that prices could rise sharply. For instance, children’s shoes currently priced at $26 may increase to $41. Retailers like Gap, Nike, and others have begun shifting production away from China to mitigate costs. However, high tariffs are expected to create a consumer burden, especially affecting lower-income shoppers, amidst a backdrop of historically stable clothing prices.
