The new train connection, which will directly link the two major European cities in 7 hours, is part of an agreement between Deutsche Bahn and French rail operator SNCF, according to the German company. “The high-speed traffic between Germany and France is an outstanding example of how attractive connections promote cross-border traffic by rail,” Dr....

The small but vibrant city of Greenville, South Carolina, is about 1.5 hours from Asheville, 2.5 hours from Atlanta, and 3.5 hours from Charleston — yet it stands on its own against these larger locales.

After a long court battle, the U.S. House of Representatives’ Ways and Means Committee has finally obtained Donald Trump’s tax returns. While that may seem like a green light for the investigation to continue, the timing couldn’t be worse for the Democrats. The committee now has access to six years of the former president’s tax returns, but they only have about a month to go over the paperwork. Come January, the Republicans will have a majority in the House and that could bring the entire investigation to a screeching halt....
