So much for retiring early

President Donald Trump has a huge opportunity to reshape a branch of government outside his control: the federal judiciary. He has already moved swiftly to fill an unusual, inherited vacancy on the Supreme Court, and now his aides are working their way through a large number of openings on the lower federal courts. Some of his first picks are up for a Senate committee vote this month.

Donald Trump Jr. met with a Russian lawyer offering potentially damaging information on Hillary Clinton. The president’s eldest son met with Natalia Veselnitskaya at Trump Tower in June 2016, after Trump had secured the Republican presidential nomination, according to a statement Sunday from Donald Trump Jr. He said he was joined at the meeting by Jared Kushner and the man managing his father’s campaign at the time, Paul Manafort.

Americans can’t seem to retire. Almost 19 percent of people 65 or older were working at least part-time in the second quarter of 2017, according to the U.S. jobs report released on Friday. That’s the highest employment/population ratio for U.S. seniors in 55 years, before American retirees won better health care and Social Security benefits starting in the late 1960s. The trend looks likely to continue, so, millennials, prepare yourselves.

A secret cryptocurrency trader turned $55 million of paper wealth into $283 million in just over a month. That person or persons is only known by the ID code on their virtual wallet.

The first Model 3 is finally here. A single black Model 3 rolled off Tesla’s production line Friday with a serial number all its own, kicking off a company-defining six months. The car will belong to Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO and co-founder, who shared images of it on Twitter over the weekend.

Men, Republicans, and northeasterners are the best tippers. Women tip a median of 16 percent, while Democrats and southerners leave a median 15 percent at a restaurant, according to a new survey of more than 1,000 American adults. That's compared with the median 20 percent left by men, Republicans, and residents of the northeast. Those who pay with plastic leave a median 20 percent, compared with 15 percent for those who pay in cash.

Plyos, a 2,000-person medieval merchant town in Russia’s Golden Ring, has scarcely been in the spotlight since the 10th century. But lately, it has occupied an increasingly large share of national interest. The Russian prime minister regularly vacations in a sprawling compound just a few miles beyond the town’s main road, and the country’s richest businessmen are sweeping up weekend homes. Even Putin himself was rumored to be commissioning a house in the area.
