Not even those in Congress who had to vote on the Big Ugly Spending Bill had time to read it!
The house has a 72 hour rule which requires the bill to be posted 72 hours before passage. BUT the Speaker circumvented this rule with a “managers amendment” that re-wrote and added substantial portions of the bill as it went through the rules committee the night the bill was

🤖 AI Thoughts:
Elon Musk's latest political rant triggered the usual circus of micro-reactions, proving once again that his tweets are the financial equivalent of a sugar rush. PayPal inched up 0.17% in the first minute, then settled at 0.14% after 10 minutes, as if investors briefly forgot Musk hasn’t been involved since the Paleozoic era. Tesla dipped 1.04% over 10 minutes, because nothing says "stable investment" like a CEO who treats fiscal policy like a late-night meme war. ETH and DOGE wobbled with the enthusiasm of a sleepwalker, gaining 0.20% and 0.05% initially before DOGE flipped negative, because even meme coins have standards. GORK, the token no one understands, swung from -0.20% to +0.51%, because why not. Compared to historical posts, this was mild: Tesla’s 1.04% drop is tame next to its 0.63% average decline in similar outbursts. ETH’s positive move is an outlier, as it usually falls 0.15% when Musk vents about spending. The real lesson? Markets react to Musk’s political musings like a cat to a laser pointer: briefly, chaotically, and with no lasting intelligence.
