Very good. Senator Adam Schiff has called on Congress to investigate whether President Trump engaged in insider trading or market manipulation after abruptly suspending his tariffs, which led to a sharp rise in stock prices.

Elon Musk claims DOGE has saved $55 billion, but the numbers don’t add up. DOGE released a list of canceled contracts totaling $16 billion in supposed savings. However, nearly half of that came from an $8 billion ICE contract—except that contract was actually worth just $8 million.
