Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) stood firm on his “no” vote on President Trump’s megabill. He explains why the legislation’s additions to the deficit were too high for him to change his vote, and why he proposed a spending “leash” as a compromise. Rockefeller Capital Management CEO Greg Fleming digs into market performance in 2025. We were due for an adjustment, he says, but the U.S. stock market is resilient, and American exceptionalism is not over yet. Plus, X CEO Linda Yaccarino is stepping down, Ferrero Rocher is buying cereal company WK Kellogg, Nvidia has touched the $4T market cap threshold, and President Trump is threatening a 50% tariff against Brazil for political reasons.
