Trump Accounts may soon be expanded even more to anyone under 40yrs old. That would be another 100 million people, on top of the 70 million kids and 3.5mil babies born each year. This according to Brad Gerstner who is the main guy spearheading efforts on this. He also said Elon is 'tip of iceberg' Nice scoop and piece on it from @LydiaMoynihan @nypost

Legacy banks are already reflexively blocking customers from using AI agents to manage their own accounts
Does this open a new competitive landscape for banks seeking to offer tech and banking freedom?
Competition killed stock trading commissions as we knew it. Is this next?

A 100% inheritance tax provides an incentive for rich people to take more premium-cabin trips before they die rather than invest, undermining capital formation and wages while benefiting airlines.

Eighteen years after failing during the 2008 financial crisis, @FannieMae & @FreddieMac remain under federal control and dominate a larger share of the mortgage market than ever.
In my latest @CatoInstitute report, I explain why Fannie and Freddie were never truly private firms, and why blending public housing goals with private markets is a dangerous template for economic policy.

"The company is a neutral exchange platform, or broker, that has no vested interest in the outcome of any trade. It is paid by a small transaction fee on each 'contract.' Participants make a 'yes' or 'no' prediction on some outcome such as a football game, weather event, or election result. One is always trading against other participants, not the house," writes @StevenGreenhut in a fantastic piece in @amspectator: spectator.org/why-prediction…

JP Morgan Chase is blocking agents.
And that's ok!
Ideally I want agents and AI tools to be able to work with anything, but as I wrote, highly regulated industries with laws like KYC or other privacy regulations have to be careful. We might need changes in law, or banks might need to build more tailored tools. But right now it is risky for some industries to allow agents to roam freely under existing law

BIRDS TRAPPED IN THE EYE 🌀🐦
Hurricane Hunters and Doppler Radar have confirmed that there are birds trapped in the eye of #Isaias right now because the winds are too strong in the eyewall. As a result, they stay within the calmer eye until reaching land. In this image, the blue colors are birds, the red color is rain. Unfortunately not all birds survive due to exhaustion, starvation or even drowning, but most do...especially depending on the type of bird. Landfall is this evening, so they just have to hold on for a little bit longer!

Casino-style gambling products are not derivatives. Today, the @CFTC is providing clarity regarding the limits of our remit by codifying the exclusion of casino-style gambling products from the “swap” definition just as we have done with respect to other products historically regulated by the states.

Eliminating the Social Security payroll tax cap is often pitched as a simple way to close the program's financing gap.
But who would actually pay?
We mapped workers above the cap across all 435 congressional districts and by occupation.

"The deeper case for federal oversight is that a nationwide market needs a single set of rules," writes scholar and former financial regulator Ryan Chan-Wei. More via @CatoInstitute: cato.org/blog/prediction-mar…

A grandmother received a call from someone claiming to be her grandson. He needed $13K after an accident in Cancun. She sent the cash.
Eventually, software flagged a pattern. That flag triggered an investigation that uncovered an organized, int’l scam ring. My @RSI latest ✍🏻

Promise made. Promise kept.
By tomorrow, 25 million American children will have our gift of $250 in their accounts.
$6.25 billion. Invested in kids. Compounding for decades.
If you have a child under 18, claim their account and see how much is in there now.
$250 is only the beginning. 🇺🇸
$6.25 billion. 25 million children. $250 each.
Susan and I believe the smartest investment we can make is in children. That’s why we’re so excited to contribute $6.25 billion from our charitable funds to help 25 million children start building a strong financial foundation through Invest America. 💪📈🇺🇸
