Oklahoma Sen. James Lankford, a Republican, released his annual "Federal Fumbles"report highlighting the many areas he and other deficit hawks say are wasteful government projects. 

Lankford releases the report each year, keeping the tradition set by his predecessor, former Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn.

The report details odd projects funded by taxpayers, mostly through grants to various government agencies. While Lankford's report outlined scores of random projects amassing $473.6 billion in spending, here are some of the most peculiar ones.

A $30,000 recreation of Hamlet — with a cast of dogs

The National Endowment for the Arts spent $30,000 on a production of "Doggie Hamlet," which included human actors shouting and chasing dogs and sheep in an open field in New Hampshire. 

"Many people view art subjectively, and there are likely many who would enjoy watching this play," Lankford's report noted. "However, with $20 trillion in national debt, it is difficult to explain to taxpayers in Oklahoma or Montana — even the people who work with sheep daily — why $30,000 was spent for a few people to run around a field yelling at sheep."

Designing digital puppets for $74,851

The National Endowment for the Humanities gave $74,851 to a university to use 3-D technology to "scan up to 15 puppets into a system that will enable viewers to control puppet functions and facial expressions either on a desktop computer or virtual reality device," according to Lankford's report.

Converting movies from film to digital — at a steep cost

The National Archives used a $100,000 grant to digitize 250 hours of footage from the 1970s at a theater in New York. According to the report, that equals $400 for every hour of film converted to digital records.

"It is within the national interest for the National Archives to preserve documents, photos, and videos of important national, historic events," the report reads. "However, with a national debt of $20 trillion, it is beyond our national interest to spend federal tax dollars to preserve 250 hours of video at $400 an hour from a New York theater, especially when the theater could very likely tap into its very large number of supporters to fund the project, instead of relying on hard-working American taxpayers."

• Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their engagement on Monday. 
• In the spring of 2018, they will get married at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
• The chapel has played an important role in the royal family's history for centuries.

Prince Harry and "Suits" actress Meghan Markle announced their engagement on Monday, although fans of the royal family will have to wait until the spring of 2018 to see the couple say their I do's. 

The couple announced that their wedding will take place at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle just outside of London. 

Ever since St. George's Chapel was completed in 1528, it has been home to many important events and traditions related to the royal family.

St. George's Chapel is on the property of Windsor Castle in the county of Berkshire, England.

Queen Elizabeth II lives at Windsor Castle for part of the year, and St. George's Chapel is a regular place of worship for the royal family.

Windsor Castle is a popular spot for tourists, though the chapel is closed to tours on Sundays, when it is used for Sunday services.

Big cities like New York and Washington DC have always attracted young people looking to get their start.

But factors such as rising real-estate prices and high job competition have sent millennials searching for other places in the United States to call their home.

We compiled the cities and towns that millennials have moved to in droves over the past few years, using data from personal finance company SmartAsset, real-estate analytics firm RCLCO, and mortgage software firm Ellie Mae. 

Here are the places you'll find booming millennial populations:

Charlotte, North Carolina

The millennial population of Charlotte, the biggest city in North Carolina, grew by nearly 11,000 in 2015, the latest year for which there is data.

Seattle, Washington

Seattle gained more millennials than any other city on the west coast, adding about 10,000 to its population in 2015.

Oakland, California

About 7,500 more millennials moved to Oakland in 2015 than left the city, according to SmartAsset.

As 2017 comes to a close, a few movie trends are clear.

It was a banner year for superhero movies. "Justice League" aside, "Logan,""Thor: Ragnarok,""Spider-Man: Homecoming," and "Wonder Woman" were all excellent.

It was a great year for horror movies, too. "It" and "Get Out" both terrified audiences this year and became critically beloved.

And there were also a bunch of other great movies — from critical darlings like "Lady Bird" to rom-coms like "The Big Sick."

Here are the 16 best movies of the year.

Gritty superhero movies are nothing new, but "Logan" steps it up.

The X-Men spin-off movie about Wolverine in his twilight years was both intensely violent and deeply moving, providing a satisfying end to Hugh Jackman's portrayal of the character.

"Get Out" hit a nerve.

No movie captured 2017 like "Get Out," a racially conscious horror film by comedian-slash-genius Jordan Peele. It came out all the way back in February, shortly after the presidential inauguration, but we haven't stopped thinking about it since.

They don't make movies like "The Lost City of Z" anymore.

Grand, epic adventure movies are seldom made without superheroes or spaceships anymore. But "The Lost City of Z" is based on the incredible true story of Percy Fawcett, a British explorer who went searching for an ancient lost city in the Amazon before disappearing in 1925. It's a story about obsession that you'll never forget and the period details are perfect.

• Small changes to your daily routine can make you a lot happier.
• Those changes include journaling, practicing gratitude, and even ordering takeout dinner.
• We collected a list of 10-minute tweaks you can make starting today, and why they're helpful.

Sometimes it's the big things that make us happy — the birth of a child, an impressive promotion, winning the lottery.

But other times, it's the small things. Think capturing the most beautiful photo of a flower garden on your way to work, or hugging a friend you haven't seen in a while.

It's the second type of happiness boosters that we're focusing on here. Below, Business Insider has rounded up seven tweaks to your daily routine — all of which take 10 minutes or less — that can make you happier, healthier, and more productive. Read on for ideas you can implement starting today.

Jot down your thoughts and feelings

Author and investor Tim Ferris recommends jotting down your thoughts in a journal every morning.

Ferris uses "The Artist's Way Morning Pages Journal" by Julia Cameron, and emphasizes that the process of writing matters more than the final product. What's more, journaling allows you to get fears and worries out of your head so you can stop fixating on them.

Another journal option is the "Five Minute Journal," which comes with inspirational quotations and thought-provoking questions.

You can switch things up and journal in the evening if that's more convenient.

Chat with a fellow commuter

A 2014 study, published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, found that people are much happier during their commutes when they engage another passenger in conversation.

Still, most people surveyed said they expected their commute to be less positive and productive if they talked to a stranger.

If you can get over the fear that you'd be bothering someone else, you might be doing them — and yourself — a favor.

Take one beautiful photo on your way to work

That's a tip from Mo Gawdat, who is an executive at Alphabet's moonshot lab, X, and the author of "Solve for Happy." Every day during his walk to the office, Gawdat searches for something beautiful and snaps its photo.

The idea behind searching for one perfect photo is that it prevents Gawdat from thinking distressing thoughts, since he's fully engaged in searching for beauty. He calls it a form of meditation: Instead of focusing on his breath, or a spot on the wall in front of him, he's focusing on the world around him.

From the looks of it, Atherton could be any ritzy suburb in America.

But it isn't anywhere. Atherton is an idyllic town located on the San Francisco Peninsula, where even modest homes go for millions of dollars. With a median list price over $9.6 million, it is the most expensive zip code in America, according to a new ranking by Forbes.

"Atherton is the epicenter of Silicon Valley money and it only has ultra-high end properties,"said Michael Simonsen, CEO of Altos Research (which partnered with Forbes on the ranking).

It's no surprise that tech billionaires — including Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen, former HP CEO Meg Whitman, and Google chairman Eric Schmidt — come home to Atherton's 94027. The town's prestige, privacy, and proximity to major tech companies draw ultra-rich homebuyers, who often pay all cash and bidhundreds of thousands of dollars above asking price.

Here's what it's like inside Atherton.

SEE ALSO: The next hottest housing market in America is this San Francisco micro-hood that's so obscure, most residents have never heard of it

Atherton is a small, mostly residential town located about 45 minutes south of San Francisco and less than 20 minutes from the headquarters of Facebook, Google, and Tesla.

Mega-mansions line nearly every block. Many homes have fences or landscaping that prevent prying eyes from looking in. Each lot feels like its own gated community.

The median sale price in Atherton was $5.42 million in 2016, four times higher than that of San Francisco. That figure is highly conservative, according to local realtor Tom LeMieux.

Forbes' ranking looks at the list price, rather than the sale price, and probably does not take into account off-market sales — which made up one-third of home sales in Atherton in 2015, LeMieux told The Almanac. Those deals are transacted through real-estate agents but are not publicly advertised.

Despite their walls, Atherton estates still have an imposing presence from the street.

• Your harsh boss or rude coworker aren't necessarily psychopaths.

• You must meet a certain set of criteria in order to be considered a psychopath.

• Only a professional should diagnos psychopathy, but there are certain tell-tale signs that someone is a psychopath.

The word psychopath gets thrown around quite a lot sometimes.

Famous movie villains are often incorrectly labeled as psychopaths. You might even call your rude neighbor a psycho. And who hasn't complained about the psychopaths on the road today after getting cut off in traffic?

But how can you tell if you're working with a legitimate psychopath?

Psychopaths aren't simply jerks or bullies — they must meet a certain set of criteria, as outlined by the Hare Psychopathy Checklist.

While only a professional should diagnose psychopathy, a psychopathic coworker or boss may demonstrate some of these signs.

SEE ALSO: 21 signs you have a terrible boss

DON'T MISS: 7 signs you can't trust your coworkers

They have sadistic motives and intents

"I think the most telling sign is their sadistic nature," Andrew Faas, a former senior executive with Canada's two largest retail organizations and author of "The Bully's Trap," told Business Insider.

A psychopath motivates others through fear, rather than respect, he says, and they intend to destroy rather than correct.

This one characteristic is what separates psychopaths from a boss or coworker who is simply "firm," he said.

"I've led and managed workforces that are in the thousands, and I've always been and still am a very demanding leader, but I motivate through respect because I want people to improve," Faas said.

They're glib and constantly turn on the superficial charm

Psychopaths are masters at presenting themselves well.

They are great conversationalists who can easily sprinkle chit-chat with witty comebacks and "unlikely but convincing" stories that make them look good, said psychologist Robert Hare, creator of the Hare Psychopathy Checklist, in a post on Psychology Today.

Confronted with such charm, you may believe that the psychopath is a decent — delightful, even — person by the end of the conversation.

Hare writes that one of his raters once interviewed a male prisoner who threw in some compliments about her appearance, and by the end of the interview she felt unusually pretty.

"When I got back outside, I couldn't believe I'd fallen for a line like that," she said.

They have a grandiose estimation of self

Psychopaths see themselves as the center of the universe, according to Hare's article in Psychology Today. They are so important in their minds that they believe other people are just tools to be used.

Everybody wants to be successful — however, not many actually make it a reality.

The difference between self-made billionaires and the rest of the pack is that they don't leave their achievements up to chance. Instead of waiting for success or wealth to fall in their lap, they take actionable steps every single day to inch closer to the finish line.

Becoming a billionaire might seem like an impossible pipe dream, but the amount of self-made ones is increasing every year. Yes, it's no cakewalk, but it is something that is possible and within your grasp.

Without further ado, here seven habits from self-made billionaires that you should adopt today:

SEE ALSO: 6 brilliant productivity hacks from 6 brilliant entrepreneurs

1. They're frugal.

If you take a look at self-made billionaires, you'll notice they aren't constantly pursuing fancy handbags or shiny sports cars. Take Mark Zuckerberg, for instance, who has over 50 billion dollars and drives a Volkswagen Getta.

Really successful individuals know that true luxury is being able to pursue their dreams, instead of being shackled to their spending. So they make a daily effort to grow their wealth and use it on future endeavors, instead of blowing it on the latest "must have" purchase.

2. They're lifelong learners.

Self-made billionaires take time to study the trends, concepts, and financial news each day to become an expert in their field and stay up to date on what's current. For example, Warren Buffett reportedly spends up to 80 percent of his day reading, and said his knowledge stacks up "like compound interest."

Take a page out of this mega mogul's book and commit to learning something new about your field or industry every day. Many trade publications and blogs exist to help keep you current on what's important so you can get ahead

3. They exercise.

Exercise — it's not just for New Years' Resolutions anymore. Entrepreneurs like Richard Branson tout the value of regular exercise — he famously notes that regular physical activity can give you back four extra hours of productivity each day. It can also boost your mood and prevent diseases like stroke, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and depression.

If you haven't already, add about 30 minutes of exercise into your daily routine to get the blood flowing and improve your mental clarity so you can be at your best.

Buying a razor has always been one of my least favorite tasks. 

Sure, it sounds simple: Go to the store, pick out a razor, throw in a pack of extra blades, and you're done. But the process is time-consuming and expensive — and for women, even more so thanks to the so-called "pink tax."

That's why when I heard about a new startup called Billie that delivers razors to your door for $9, I knew immediately I wanted to try it.

While the concept is nothing new — Dollar Shave Club and Harry's already do this — Billie's products are aimed specifically at women. 

Here's what they're like in person:

SEE ALSO: Tech execs and fashion — an up-close look at the carefully cultivated personal styles of the Valley's elite

The process to get set up with Billie is simple, and it starts with picking out your razor.

You're given four colors to choose from: coral, periwinkle pop, cool blue, and Billie blush. Your handle, which will arrive with a matching holder, will stay the same, and every order from then on will just contain the replacement razor blades. 

You can add shaving cream, body wash, or lotion to your order, but I stuck with the basics. My first order cost $9 plus tax, and from now on, I'll get four replacement cartridges every two months for the same price.

That's cheaper than what I normally pay at a store like Target — refills usually cost me about $12, plus a trip on the subway. 

I ordered blush, but Billie messed up a bit — I received coral instead.

My package did arrive promptly, though. I placed my order on November 14 and received it in less than a week. And I don't mind coral, so I didn't send it back.

The razor itself is made out of plastic, but it has a solid, premium feel to it. The holder is magnetic, so you can stick it to the side of your shower and the razor will snap on to it. 

For $9, the cost savings isn't huge, but I appreciate that Billie now gives me one less thing to think about every few months.

Sure, a service like Dollar Shave Club might end up being a few dollars cheaper, but those products are heavily marketed toward men, and look like men's products. I like having a razor that's the right size for my hand, in a color I like, and designed with me in mind, not a guy.

So while Billie isn't anything groundbreaking, I'm happy with the results. If you're curious how the razor works, it's fine. It works just like any other razor on the market. I don't believe many subscription services are worth the money, but I'm going to stick with Billie. 

There are some Hollywood families who have been in the industry for generations. 

From the Chaplins who have starred in films since the silent movie era to the Kardashians who are making their impact on Tinsletown, these families have a firm grasp on La La Land. 

Here are 15 of the most famous dynasties in Hollywood. 

The Barrymore family has been involved with acting since the 1800s.

The Barrymore family is one of the most extensive and long-lasting dynasties in Hollywood. Siblings Lionel, John, and Ethel Barrymore followed in their parents' — Herbert Arthur Chamberlayne Blythe, known by his stage name Maurice Barrymore, and Georgiana Emma Drew, known as Georgie Drew Barrymore — acting footsteps. Lionel won an Oscar in 1931 for "A Free Soul" and Ethel won an Oscar in 1945 for "None But the Lonely Heart."

John's son John Jr. went into acting and his daughter is actress Drew Barrymore. And that's not even all of the family members who have continued in the family business.

Charlie Chaplin was just the start of the Chaplins' reign in Hollywood.

Charles Spencer "Charlie" Chaplin Jr. is one of the most iconic Hollywood stars, having started his career in vaudeville and as a silent actor. His influence as a film creator has left a legacy in the film industry. Chaplin was married four times and had 11 children. Of Charlie's children, at least eight entered show business in some way or another.

His daughter Geraldine is a prolific actress known for her roles in films including "Doctor Zhivago" and "Chaplin." She has earned three Golden Globe nominations and has a few upcoming projects including a role in "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom."

Her daughter Oona Chaplin is an actress known for her role as Talisa on "Game of Thrones" and for "Taboo." She is set to star in both "Avatar 2" and "Avatar 3."

The Coppola family, including its extended members, has left a huge mark on Hollywood and has garnered numerous awards and nominations.

Siblings Francis Ford and Talia both entered show business, Francis as a director, producer, and screenwriter and Talia as an actress. Talia starred in her brother's "Godfather" films and is also known for her role as Adrian in "Rocky."

Francis' children Gian-Carlo, Roman, and Sofia all entered show business as producers and filmmakers. Sofia has an Oscar for her screenplay for "Lost in Translation." Her recent film, "The Beguiled," has received rave reviews. Gian-Carlo's daughter Gia Coppola went into the family business.

Two of Talia's children, Jason and Robert Schwartzman, are actors and musicians. Jason is well-known for his collaborations with director Wes Anderson, including "The Darjeeling Limited" and "Moonrise Kingdom." He recently voiced a character on Netflix's "Neo Yokio" and is starring in "The Polar King." Robert starred in "The Princess Diaries" and some other films, but is best-known as the lead vocalist of the band Rooney.

Francis and Talia's brother August is the father of director Christopher and actors Marc and Nicolas Coppola. Nicolas is best known by his stage name, Nicolas Cage.

The family tree is extensive and features even more Hollywood stars.

The Milwaukee Bucks were told by the NBA in 2013 that their current home, the BMO Harris Bradley Center, was no longer fit for the league.

After years of negotiating, they sealed a deal to build a new home for 2018, a still unnamed arena in the heart of downtown Milwaukee.

The arena comes with a complex of commercial and residential building that will cost $524 million, with $250 million coming from taxpayers, that the team and city thinks will provide a boost to the economy.

Despite the controversial background of the under-construction arena (set to be open in Fall 2018), the renderings show a gorgeous, glass building with rustic features, big, open concourses, and views of the action from all angles.

Check out the renderings of the building, courtesy of the Bucks.

The Bucks are planning for the space to be a tourist draw, bringing fans to downtown Milwaukee to dine, shop, and meander before and after games and events.

It's located in the heart of downtown Milwaukee, near the Milwaukee River.

The area will also include corporate space and housing to draw more people.

Tonight, the annual Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show will be broadcast in the US. After a dramatic lead up to the show, 55 women hit the catwalk in glamorous ensembles. 

Back in August, 61 models were initially cast to walk in the runway, but a series of mishaps reportedly prevented five models, including Gigi Hadid, from getting visas to travel to Shanghai, China, where the fashion show was held last week.

Thirteen of the 14 official Victoria's Secret Angels— including favorites like Adriana Lima and Candice Swanepoel — were joined by 14 newcomers and 28 returning models. While Bella Hadid is one of the latter, Kendall Jenner reportedly didn't walk the runway due to her contract as the face of a competing lingerie brand. And out of the newcomers, viewers should keep an eye out for promising models like Aiden Curtiss, Frida Aasen, and Xin Xie.

Keep scrolling to see all the models who graced the runway. 

Adriana Lima will return for another season as a Victoria's Secret Angel. The Brazilian model has walked in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show since 1999.

Lima is the longest-serving Victoria's Secret model ever.

This will be Aiden Curtiss's first time walking in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

When the 19-year-old isn't working the runway, she's also a DJ and music producer, according to Vice.

Alanna Arrington, 18, confirmed that she will be back for a second season with Victoria's Secret. She made her debut as a Victoria's Secret runway model in 2016.

In February 2016, at the age of 17, Arrington visited New York City for the first time when she walked in two back-to-back shows — including opening the Altuzzara show, Vogue reported.

• James O'Keefe, a conservative provocateur, failed to uncover bias at The Washington Post after one of his undercover journalists pretended to be a sexual harassment victim of Republican Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore.
• O'Keefe is a self-described "muckraker" who tries to dig up dirt to expose mostly left-leaning individuals and organizations.
• His most recent attempt at uncovering bias at The Washington Post is just the latest in a string of failed undercover operations.

A woman who posed as a victim of Roy Moore, the embattled Republican Alabama Senate candidate whose campaign has been roiled by multiple allegations of misconduct, appeared to be involved in a sting operation meant to disgrace The Washington Post, the newspaper reported Monday.

The attempted sting operation failed after Post reporters discovered the woman, who identified herself as Jaime Phillips, was actually working for an organization called Project Veritas, led by the conservative activist James O'Keefe.

O'Keefe is a self-described "muckraker" whose mission is to "investigate and expose corruption, dishonesty, self-dealing, waste, fraud, and other misconduct in both public and private institutions in order to achieve a more ethical and transparent society," according to the Project Veritas website.

In the past, he has targeted Planned Parenthood, a Democratic senator, voting rights group ACORN, and CNN by secretly taping conversations and using undercover operatives to bait people into admitting wrongdoing or bias.

His most recent failed attempt at uncovering liberal bias among reporters at The Washington Post is the latest in a string of undercover operations gone wrong.

Here are some highlights of other failed stings (h/t The Hill's Will Sommer):

A Project Veritas employee blows her boss' cover by leaking details of an imminent undercover sting targeting CNN.

In 2010, O'Keefe planned to embarrass CNN journalist Abbie Boudreau by bringing her on a boat with sexually explicit props and recording the two in awkward conversation. Boudreau was working on a film about the conservative activist movement and planned to meet and interview O'Keefe in his office.

Just before the their scheduled appointment, Izzy Santa, then Project Veritas' executive director, warned Boudreau of O'Keefe's intentions. Boudreau didn't follow through on the interview.

The incident hurt O'Keefe's credibility as a serious muckraker and led to a lack of funding for his organization.

O'Keefe is charged and convicted of a misdemeanor for tampering with the phones of a former US senator.

That same year, O'Keefe was sentenced to complete three years probation, log 100 hours of community service, and pay a $1,500 fine after attempting to break into the phones of former Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana.

O'Keefe and his assistants had planned to investigate whether Landrieu's office was ignoring constituents' calls about the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare, but were arrested after impersonating telephone repairmen and tampering with Landrieu's phones.

O'Keefe sports a mustache and pretends to be a 45-year old while looking for evidence of voter fraud in Colorado.

During the 2014 mid-term elections, O'Keefe and two of his staff members tried to bait Democratic field staffers in Colorado into endorsing voter fraud.

To avoid being recognized, O'Keefe said he grew a moustache to disguise himself as a 45 year-old.

During a campaign event, one of O'Keefe's colleagues introduced himself as "Nick Davis" to a Democratic staffer and "asked the staffer if he should fill out and mail in ballots for other college students who had moved away but still received mail on campus." The staffer told him not to because that would be considered voter fraud.

After receiving repeated questions about submitting other people's ballots, Democratic staffers suspected that they were being punked. They connected the dots to O'Keefe after coming across a photo O'Keefe had posted on Instagram showing him with a moustache — the same one he used while undercover.

While it's certainly an honor for a model to walk in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, it's an even bigger honor to become an official Angel. 

The designs on the Victoria's Secret runway have evolved from classic lingerie styles to more elaborate high-fashion concepts — and the Angels have changed quite a bit, too.

While there are currently only 14 Angels in the lineup, there has been a total of 37 Angels throughout the show's 22-year run. Here's a look at the earliest Angels to the most recent.

Karen Mulder

Karen Mulder became an Angel in 1996 before leaving in 2000.

Helena Christensen

Helena Christensen had a rather short two-year run as an Angel starting in 1997.

Stephanie Seymour

Stephanie Seymour first hit the Victoria's Secret runway in 1995, but didn't become an Angel until two years later.

• MacKenzie Bezos, the wife of Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, is an award-winning novelist.

• She's had literary ambitions since she was six years old.

• Bezos is now the author of two novels, "The Testing of Luther Albright" and "Traps."

When Jeff Bezos told his wife MacKenzie about his idea for a new company, she was immediately on board.

Bezos traveled with her husband to Seattle, where she worked for the fledgling Amazon as an accountant.

The move was a bit of a departure for the Princeton grad, who had long dreamed of becoming a writer. But she was eager to support her husband.

"To me, watching your spouse, somebody that you love, have an adventure — what is better than that?" MacKenzie said during an interview with CBS.

Since the early days of Amazon, Bezos has gone on to pursue her literary dreams, publishing two novels, "The Testing of Luther Albright" in 2005 and "Traps" in 2013.

Here's a look at the career of award-winning novelist MacKenzie Bezos:

When President Donald Trump held an event honoring Navajo code talkers who served in World War II, he took the opportunity to poke fun at Sen. Elizabeth Warren's reported Native heritage by referring to her as "Pocahontas," drawing attention away from the incredible exploits of the code talkers themselves.

Trump's Monday comments were immediately denounced as "careless" by Navajo Nation Council Delegate Amber Kanazbah Crotty, who also stated that the three men were "not pawns to advance a personal grudge."

Sen. John McCain also stood up for the code talkers in a tweet he posted on Tuesday.

"Our nation owes a debt of gratitude to the Navajo Code Talkers, whose bravery, skill & tenacity helped secure our decisive victory over tyranny & oppression during WWII," McCain wrote. "Politicizing these genuine American heroes is an insult to their sacrifice."

Here are the stories of the three men Trump met with, who together with many other Navajo code talkers, helped the United States win World War II:

The Navajo are a Native American ethnic group living in the American Southwest, and their main reservation, which occupies the Four Corners area of Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico, is the largest reservation in the United States today.

The Navajo are the largest Native American ethnic group in the United States today. Although their language was the one used to create code in World War II, people from other Native American groups like the Hopi and the Comanche were recruited as code talkers as well.

At the beginning of US involvement in WWII, the Japanese were breaking every code the Americans came up with. In response, World War I veteran Philip Johnston suggested a novel idea to the US Marine Corpse in 1942 — using the Navajo language as a code.

Johnston was the son of missionaries, and had grown up speaking Navajo on the Navajo reservation even though he himself was not Native. He was inspired to use the Navajo language as a code after seeing Native Americans communicating with each other in the US Army during the First World War.

The Navajo language was the perfect language to use because it had no alphabet, and as a result, there were no materials the Japanese could use to learn it. The Marine Corps loved Johnston's idea, and began recruiting young Navajo men as code talkers.

One of the code talkers at Trump's event on Monday, Peter MacDonald, said the new recruits were initially not told they were going to be used to speak in code. 

"They were just asked, 'Do you want to join the Marines? You want to fight the enemy? Come join the Marines.' So they volunteered," MacDonald said.

Some, though, were drafted. 

"We were drafted. They made us go. I didn't volunteer," Franklin Shupla, a code talker from the Hopi tribe, said.

The New York Giants shocked the NFL world on Tuesday when they announced that Eli Manning has been benched as the starting quarterback in favor of Geno Smith.

The move will end Manning's streak of 210 consecutive starts for the Giants, the second-longest streak in NFL history. It could also mark the end of Manning's tenure with the club.

Manning's streak of consecutive starts dated back to 2004. Below, we take a look at just how different the world was — in the sports world and beyond — the last time the Giants had a different starting quarterback.

The last time the Giants had a starting quarterback not named Eli Manning was November 14, 2004. It was Week 10 of the season and Kurt Warner was the starting quarterback.

A week later, Manning was under center, making his first career start against the Atlanta Falcons. He looked a little younger.

Two days before Manning's first start, Ron Artest went into the stands to fight a fan, leading to the infamous "Malice in the Palace."

• Millennials are vulnerable to changes in both the GOP Senate and House tax plans.
• This is, in part, because they tend to have lower incomes and are saddled with student loan debt.
• They're also only just coming onto the home-buying scene, as the new plan removes a key benefit of owning a home in high cost (urban) areas.
• Plus, they'll have to deal with the impact of this plan on future budgets. It will increase the deficit — and ultimately the national debt.

It's time to stop trusting anyone over 40.

Both the GOP's House and Senate tax plans contain measures that kick American millennials in the teeth, taking from their future to give to the richest Americans in the present.

From home ownership, to healthcare, to raising rates on lower income brackets, both these bills contain provisions that disproportionately target Americans born between 1981 and 1997. 

Higher education is especially hard hit, according to an analysis by Young Invincibles, a lobby group for millennials.

“At a time when young adults and families are struggling more than ever to pay for higher education, they simply can’t afford to have more financial support eliminated by this tax plan," said Reid Setzer, Young Invincibles’ director of government affairs.

"If lawmakers want to make our economy stronger, they should boost funding for higher education and target financial assistance to those who need it most, not drain programs that help train our workforce to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy."

Millennials are especially vulnerable, in part, because their median income across the country is still pretty low. Data from 2014 shows that it ranges widely by state, from a low of $18,000 per year in Montana to a high of just $43,000 in the District of Columbia.

Then there's the national budget deficit, which adds to our national debt and will have to be handled at some point in the future. The Senate bill will add almost $1.5 trillion to the deficit by 2027.

Now, the GOP will tell you that these cuts will get paid for with economic growth. That's utter nonsense. That 'tax cuts trickle down' myth has been disproven over and over again, and it especially won't work now. As tax economist Martin Sullivan told Business Insider's Bob Bryan, the Senate plan is "crazy" and "stupid" and in part because: 

"Stimulus effects are likely to be minimal because the economy is already near full employment and the tax cuts are strongly tilted away from low-income households that would spend more than their well-off brethren. In addition, supply-side effects from lower marginal rates will be small because statutory rate cuts are small (or in some cases nonexistent)." 

Besides, the GOP is using dynamic scoring in its budget projections. It essentially allows the government to estimate the future benefit of tax cuts to the economy after making a load of assumptions — including about what a future government might do in response to falling tax revenue. At best, it's wishful thinking. At worst, it's deception. Either way, it's a form of generational theft. Just like both these tax plans.

But hey, you're square if you have a private jet.

Here's a quick recap of the tax plan provisions that are going to hit millennials the hardest:

By 2019 a lot of millennials will see their taxes go up.

It gets worse in 2027, when everyone making $75,000 and under will see a tax increase.

The Senate plan would also make health insurance premiums more expensive.

The plan removes Obamacare's "individual mandate" provision, which requires everyone to buy health insurance. That's what could trigger skyrocketing premiums.

And FYI, 36% of people enrolled in Obamacare are 34 years old or younger.

• Mass layoffs often take people by surprise.
• But if you look out for the signs, you may see them coming.
• From perks that start disappearing to extra tissue boxes in conference rooms, we've rounded up 29 signs your company could be about to conduct mass layoffs.

In my career as a journalist, I've lived through two rounds of mass layoffs.

While I didn't see either of them coming, hindsight is always 20/20, and I now have a much better sense for when the tides are changing. I also appreciate how much even a little bit of notice can help in the transition.

To get a better understanding of the signs that layoffs are coming, I polled others who have been through them, scoured the news about high-profile mass layoffs, and crawled the depths of the internet.

If you notice a combination of these signs in your own company, it may be time to start looking for a new job.

The most obvious sign: Executives confirm layoffs are coming

Executives including Twitter's Jack Dorsey, ESPN's John Skipper, and Sears' Eddie Lampert have sent memos to employees detailing imminent layoffs.

On Wednesday, Skipper sent a memo to employees informing them of ESPN's plan to terminate the employment of "approximately 150 people."

Executives hint at layoffs using other terms, like 'restructuring'

HP, which has been going through layoffs since 2008, proves there are many indirect ways of saying "layoffs."

CEO Meg Whitman and other HP executives have used terms like"downsizing,""restructuring,""reorganizing,""incremental synergies,""offshoring," and "streamlining."

Intel CEO Brian Krzanich used the term "headcount reductions" in an email he sent to employees about rumored layoffs.

And IBM has referred to layoffs as "workforce rebalancing."

If you hear or see these terms bandied about, it's time to brace yourself.

There's talk of 'pivoting'

In an adapt-or-die world and constantly evolving industry, pivoting is often a must. But it also means replacing one kind of work — and thereby worker — with another, which usually spells layoffs. "Pivoting" or "shifting focus" are simply other ways of saying "restructuring."

We recently saw this at media companies Mic, Vocativ, Vice, and MTV news, which are all placing heavy bets on video content and pivoting their efforts in that direction, and which all laid off written editorial staffers as a result.
