News
Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill Passes the House

Passed 215–214 — one guy knocked out cold on the floor, another straight up died. Welcome to American governance.

Markets still chewing on it. Early whispers say the bill might juice inflation and kneecap consumer spending. Yields climbing.

Senate’s got a chance to clean it up and hand Trump the dub he wants — but Thune & co better not fumble the bag. The devil’s in the footnotes.

Elon Musk 
Musk Pivots Hard Back to His Companies

Elon’s locking himself in factories again. Sleeping next to robots. Fasting in server rooms. He’s going all in on Optimus — the humanoid Tesla bot he claims will be “the biggest product of all time.”

xAI, 𝕏, Tesla, SpaceX — all in hyperdrive. He’s back in full madman mode. Will it print billions or burn em?

Market Overview 
Joker’s Market Overview

HOO HOO HEE HEE — the cracks are showing, kiddies! Markets danced their little jig above the long-term moving averages, but less than 40% of stocks joined the conga line. And with yields vaulting past 4.5%, the music stopped.

Thanks to a Moody’s downgrade and a flopped bond auction, recession fears are peeking out from under the bed. No Fed cuts in sight. Yields UP. Equities DOWN. A lovely little game of chicken!

🧠 Story stocks are back:
Quantum: $RGTI $QUBT $QBTS $IONQ
Energy/Nuclear: $LTBR $NNE $OKLO
Space: $DXYZ $RKLB $LUNR

💥 Watchlist soldiers: $PLTR $CRWD $OKTA $RBRK $BROS
📉 Tariff tantrum: 50% on EU goods, 25% on foreign iPhones.
📈 Bulls > Bears. VIX spiked to 25 but settled.

$SPX and $QQQ 200-DMA are your battlegrounds.
Let’s see if the bulls brought ammo. Or just vibes.
