The markets did everything they could to hold steady in the face of the Jerome Powell subpoenas, but I’m not sure they’ll do well with this news.
Looks like the EU-US trade deal is now dead, with all three major groups in the EU Parliament calling at least for suspension. The downward spiral has already begun.

🔥🔥🔥Now that the Trump administration admitted the DOGE team hacked into the social security administration and gave to an org to overturn election results, the Trump rally in MSG 10/27/24 bears further scrutiny.

What seemed like a spontaneous moment with Lutnick was actually announcing the crime!

Threat of a Newsom veto killed a California law that would have forced Facebook and Google to pay their fair share to the state's journalists, whose work they profit from. The (bad) compromise was Google would help fund journalism in CA for 5 years. Newsom has apparently killed that, too.
Gov. Gavin Newsom included no new funding for local journalism in his budget proposal last week, walking back an August 2024 deal with Google to commit $175 million over five years to help the diminishing industry. bit.ly/4qNmdBg

It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by.

Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?
