In Episode 99, we start by examining Trump's push for major spending cuts, analyzing their potential implications on federal programs and fiscal policy. We then discuss the executive order aimed at boosting the coal mining industry, exploring its potential impact on energy policy and environmental considerations. The episode also covers the disbandment of the cryptocurrency enforcement team, delving into the possible effects on regulatory oversight and the digital currency market. Finally, we review the recent Supreme Court decision affecting federal workers, considering its ramifications for labor rights and government employment policies.

Key Points
