Also, remember that you can hook up with us all day on Twitter @IOB_NewsHour and on Instagram.  Here's what we've got for you today:   
Buh-Bye Twitter verification check marks and what that means;
The huge SpaceX rocket blew up...nobody on board;
Mortgage rates are back up;
Yet another CEO being a jerk?
This retail company is stiffing hundreds of laid-off workers;
The Wall Street Report;
BuzzFeed News is shutting down and what comes next;
That vacation announcement...for a change.
