US Republicans find unity on taxes a heavy lift in Trump 'golden age'
Barely a month after predicting a new "golden age" under President Donald Trump, congressional Republicans are struggling to move forward on the president's tax-cut agenda, despite their control of both the Senate and House of Representatives. House and Senate Republicans are pursuing rival plans for enacting Trump's tax proposals, including an extension of the 2017 tax cuts that were the signature legislative accomplishment of his first presidential term, and key party members in both chambers claim they can largely ignore an estimated cost of more than $4 trillion. With only a 218-215 majority, House Republicans are split between lawmakers from Democratic states who want a bigger federal tax deduction for state and local tax payments, hardliners pushing offsetting spending cuts and centrists worried about the potential ill-effects of those cuts back home.

Analysis-Trump's Justice Department hits the brakes on anti-corruption enforcement
The U.S. Justice Department has sharply stepped back its anti-corruption efforts under President Donald Trump, from loosening enforcement of laws meant to stop companies from bribing foreign officials to directing its prosecutors to drop a criminal case against New York Mayor Eric Adams. It has disbanded an effort to enforce sanctions against Russian oligarchs and fired veteran public corruption prosecutors who played a role in the department's two criminal cases against Trump during his years out of office.

Are Trump's new policies enough to keep the market afloat?
What do earnings season, interest rates, and a housing shortage have in common? They’re the focus of the latest Trader Talk episode, where host Kenny Polcari and guest Stephanie Link, chief investment strategist at Hightower Advisors, tackle the biggest market trends and economic questions of 2025. Broadcasting from the iconic New York Stock Exchange, Polcari leverages decades of institutional trading experience to help investors navigate market uncertainty, inflation pressures, and evolving GDP growth. Polcari kicks off the episode by emphasizing the importance of momentum trading—using tools like moving averages, RSI (Relative Strength Index), MACD (moving average convergence/divergence), and strict stop-loss orders—to capture rising assets and exit declining ones at the right moment. He explains that earnings reports provide a real-time economic pulse, shedding light on labor trends, inflation, and new product launches that are crucial for investors. Link forecasts a GDP growth rate of 2 to 2.5% for 2025, noting that Trump’s pro-growth policies, lower taxes, and deregulation are driving optimism in the technology and manufacturing sectors. Despite the current environment, with mortgage rates hovering near 7%, both experts agree that a drop to sub-5% levels could stimulate the housing market—a sector still grappling with a shortage of about 5 million homes. No Trader Talk episode is complete without a culinary twist. Polcari shares his Champagne Chicken recipe—a classic dish that, much like a balanced portfolio, combines precision with flavor.
