Volatility is not good for the market or regular investor (those with retirement accounts).
The 3 largest volatile times since 2004 (the history of this tracking, VIX):
Trump's tariffs, COVID, 2008 Housing Crash.
Trump has 2 of these moments but COVID at least was not a self-inflicted problem.

Money can buy you a Presidency and the Speaker of the House.
It's becoming less and less about the right vs left but the working class vs the ultra wealthy. Even your Republican neighbors don't want the billionaires running everything.

Bluesky is disrupting things. Some are not happy.
Those that brand themselves as free speech and free market supporters would love to shut us down. Take away our voice so they can control the discussion.
This just makes it clear how much this space is needed! Support it and bring others!

The Department of Government Efficiency is all theater. It has zero power other than posting on the semi-state-run social media platforms to rile up MAGA.
It's also redundant. We already have the Government Accountability Office which saves $133 for every $1 of funding it receives!
Axe Doge!

Sports and Professional Wrestling Reporters have reported more on concerns involving the pick Linda McMahon to lead the Department of Education than the MSM.

The influence of Right wing vs left wing creators (via Wired Magazine).
The left needs to create an ecosystem to counter. Especially podcasts. We're going to need some ideas on funding as we don't have Sinclair Broadcasting, willing billionaires, or foreign governments to finance until sustainable.
