Think about it. If the Big Ugly Bill actually helped working-class Americans, and wasn’t just a giveaway to billionaires and corporations, Trump and the GOP wouldn’t be delaying the release of the IRS data proving it ahead of the elections.
The tax agency was supposed to release detailed data on this year's filing season in July. Months later, it's still unpublished.

$NVDA is trading near its cheapest valuation in a decade.
You're paying less than a market multiple for a company guiding to ~70% growth next year with Vera Rubin expected to be its fastest product ramp ever.
And that growth is increasingly coming from beyond hyperscalers with ACIE customers growing 25% sequentially versus 13% for hyperscalers giving Nvidia another major source of demand.

BREAKING: The number of restaurants in New York dropped ~2,000 YoY in Q1 2026, posting its largest YoY decline in at least 36 years.
This surpasses even the worst contraction recorded in any quarter during the 2020 pandemic.
The number of eating and drinking places in New York State has now declined YoY for 4 consecutive quarters, its longest streak since 2021.
This comes as restaurants are facing surging operating expenses, including insurance premiums, wages, interest rates, utilities, and health coverage, with overall costs rising faster than national averages.
Last year, employee health insurance costs jumped +12.9% for New York-area service firms, business insurance rose +7.0%, while utility costs surged +8.5%, according to the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce.
Skyrocketing costs are crushing New York restaurants.

Trump says we’re building “more factories and plants right now than at any time in our history.”
Factory construction hit a historic record under Biden and has fallen 31% since Trump took office.

Still can't believe that Trump and Republicans enacted a law that made the poor poorer while making the rich richer.
Taken as a whole, the Big Beautiful Bill was the biggest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in all of US history.
