Palantir Technologies Inc PLTR stock surged an eye-popping 350% year-to-date. But just as retail investors celebrate their portfolios swelling, company insiders — including CFO David A. Glazer and CTO Shyam Sankar — are selling millions of dollars worth of shares.

Hidalgo leads No. 6 Notre Dame over JuJu Watkins and third-ranked USC 74-61 in big matchup out WestWASHINGTON (AP) — As a former and potentially future president, Donald Trump hailed what would become Project 2025 as a road map for “exactly what our movement will do” with another crack at the White House. As the blueprint for a hard-right turn in America became a liability during the 2024 campaign, Trump pulled an about-face . He denied knowing anything about the “ridiculous and abysmal” plans written in part by his first-term aides and allies. Now, after being elected the 47th president on Nov. 5, Trump is stocking his second administration with key players in the detailed effort he temporarily shunned. Most notably, Trump has tapped Russell Vought for an encore as director of the Office of Management and Budget; Tom Homan, his former immigration chief, as “border czar;” and immigration hardliner Stephen Miller as deputy chief of policy . Those moves have accelerated criticisms from Democrats who warn that Trump's election hands government reins to movement conservatives who spent years envisioning how to concentrate power in the West Wing and impose a starkly rightward shift across the U.S. government and society. Trump and his aides maintain that he won a mandate to overhaul Washington. But they maintain the specifics are his alone. “President Trump never had anything to do with Project 2025,” said Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt in a statement. “All of President Trumps' Cabinet nominees and appointments are whole-heartedly committed to President Trump's agenda, not the agenda of outside groups.” Here is a look at what some of Trump's choices portend for his second presidency. The Office of Management and Budget director, a role Vought held under Trump previously and requires Senate confirmation, prepares a president's proposed budget and is generally responsible for implementing the administration's agenda across agencies. The job is influential but Vought made clear as author of a Project 2025 chapter on presidential authority that he wants the post to wield more direct power. “The Director must view his job as the best, most comprehensive approximation of the President’s mind,” Vought wrote. The OMB, he wrote, “is a President’s air-traffic control system” and should be “involved in all aspects of the White House policy process,” becoming “powerful enough to override implementing agencies’ bureaucracies.” Trump did not go into such details when naming Vought but implicitly endorsed aggressive action. Vought, the president-elect said, “knows exactly how to dismantle the Deep State” — Trump’s catch-all for federal bureaucracy — and would help “restore fiscal sanity.” In June, speaking on former Trump aide Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast, Vought relished the potential tension: “We’re not going to save our country without a little confrontation.” The strategy of further concentrating federal authority in the presidency permeates Project 2025's and Trump's campaign proposals. Vought's vision is especially striking when paired with Trump's proposals to dramatically expand the president's control over federal workers and government purse strings — ideas intertwined with the president-elect tapping mega-billionaire Elon Musk and venture capitalist Vivek Ramaswamy to lead a “Department of Government Efficiency.” Trump in his first term sought to remake the federal civil service by reclassifying tens of thousands of federal civil service workers — who have job protection through changes in administration — as political appointees, making them easier to fire and replace with loyalists. Currently, only about 4,000 of the federal government's roughly 2 million workers are political appointees. President Joe Biden rescinded Trump's changes. Trump can now reinstate them. Meanwhile, Musk's and Ramaswamy's sweeping “efficiency” mandates from Trump could turn on an old, defunct constitutional theory that the president — not Congress — is the real gatekeeper of federal spending. In his “Agenda 47,” Trump endorsed so-called “impoundment,” which holds that when lawmakers pass appropriations bills, they simply set a spending ceiling, but not a floor. The president, the theory holds, can simply decide not to spend money on anything he deems unnecessary. Vought did not venture into impoundment in his Project 2025 chapter. But, he wrote, “The President should use every possible tool to propose and impose fiscal discipline on the federal government. Anything short of that would constitute abject failure.” Trump's choice immediately sparked backlash. “Russ Vought is a far-right ideologue who has tried to break the law to give President Trump unilateral authority he does not possess to override the spending decisions of Congress (and) who has and will again fight to give Trump the ability to summarily fire tens of thousands of civil servants,” said Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, a Democrat and outgoing Senate Appropriations chairwoman. Reps. Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Melanie Stansbury of New Mexico, leading Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, said Vought wants to “dismantle the expert federal workforce” to the detriment of Americans who depend on everything from veterans' health care to Social Security benefits. “Pain itself is the agenda,” they said. Trump’s protests about Project 2025 always glossed over overlaps in the two agendas . Both want to reimpose Trump-era immigration limits. Project 2025 includes a litany of detailed proposals for various U.S. immigration statutes, executive branch rules and agreements with other countries — reducing the number of refugees, work visa recipients and asylum seekers, for example. Miller is one of Trump's longest-serving advisers and architect of his immigration ideas, including his promise of the largest deportation force in U.S. history. As deputy policy chief, which is not subject to Senate confirmation, Miller would remain in Trump's West Wing inner circle. “America is for Americans and Americans only,” Miller said at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally on Oct. 27. “America First Legal,” Miller’s organization founded as an ideological counter to the American Civil Liberties Union, was listed as an advisory group to Project 2025 until Miller asked that the name be removed because of negative attention. Homan, a Project 2025 named contributor, was an acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement director during Trump’s first presidency, playing a key role in what became known as Trump's “family separation policy.” Previewing Trump 2.0 earlier this year, Homan said: “No one’s off the table. If you’re here illegally, you better be looking over your shoulder.” John Ratcliffe, Trump's pick to lead the CIA , was previously one of Trump's directors of national intelligence. He is a Project 2025 contributor. The document's chapter on U.S. intelligence was written by Dustin Carmack, Ratcliffe's chief of staff in the first Trump administration. Reflecting Ratcliffe's and Trump's approach, Carmack declared the intelligence establishment too cautious. Ratcliffe, like the chapter attributed to Carmack, is hawkish toward China. Throughout the Project 2025 document, Beijing is framed as a U.S. adversary that cannot be trusted. Brendan Carr, the senior Republican on the Federal Communications Commission, wrote Project 2025's FCC chapter and is now Trump's pick to chair the panel. Carr wrote that the FCC chairman “is empowered with significant authority that is not shared” with other FCC members. He called for the FCC to address “threats to individual liberty posed by corporations that are abusing dominant positions in the market,” specifically “Big Tech and its attempts to drive diverse political viewpoints from the digital town square.” He called for more stringent transparency rules for social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube and “empower consumers to choose their own content filters and fact checkers, if any.” Carr and Ratcliffe would require Senate confirmation for their posts.

Tesla's Push to Drop Crash-Reporting RuleThe Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has outlined key initiatives for 2025 aimed at advancing the country’s financial services sector. Speaking at the Bankers’ Committee Annual Dinner held on November 29, 2024, CBN Governor Olayemi Cardoso revealed plans to implement the open banking framework, promote contactless payment systems, and expand the regulatory sandbox. These initiatives, he noted, are central to deepening financial inclusion and enhancing Nigeria’s payment ecosystem. Related Stories How Much Money Do You Need To Start Investing? Why Does My Money Feel Smaller Everyday? Understanding Nigerian Inflation What Cardoso is saying “In 2025, we will prioritize initiatives including implementing our open banking framework, advancing contactless payment systems, and expanding our regulatory sandbox. Additionally, we will issue revised guidelines for agency banking and continue to strengthen electronic payment channels.” Open Banking : Cardoso highlighted the implementation of the open banking framework as a top priority for the coming year. Open banking, which enables secure sharing of financial data between banks and third-party service providers, is expected to spur innovation and create new opportunities within the financial technology (fintech) space. With open banking gaining traction globally, Nigeria’s adoption of this framework is anticipated to catalyze the development of new financial products, improve service delivery, and enhance customer experience across the industry. Advancing Contactless Payments: As part of its vision for a more seamless payment system, the CBN plans to advance contactless payment solutions in 2025. Cardoso emphasized the need to align with global trends, where contactless payment systems are fast becoming the norm for retail transactions. The initiative is expected to drive the adoption of modern payment technologies, reduce transaction times, and promote cashless transactions, particularly among Nigeria’s growing youth and tech-savvy population. Regulatory Sandbox for Innovation: Cardoso also announced plans to expand the CBN’s regulatory sandbox, a controlled environment where fintech companies can test innovative products under the supervision of the regulator. The sandbox expansion is expected to encourage startups and established financial institutions to experiment with novel solutions in areas such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and digital currencies. Another priority area for the CBN in 2025 is bolstering the robustness of Nigeria’s electronic payment infrastructure. Cardoso stressed the importance of strengthening these channels to support a more cashless economy and ensure resilience against cyber threats. The CBN will also issue revised guidelines for agency banking, a critical tool in extending financial services to underserved and rural communities. Cardoso explained that these updates are aimed at enhancing the operational efficiency and security of agency banking networks, ensuring they remain a reliable channel for financial inclusion. The outlined initiatives align with the CBN’s broader vision of fostering a modern, resilient, and inclusive financial system. By prioritizing innovation, regulatory advancements, and infrastructure upgrades, the apex bank seeks to position Nigeria as a leader in digital finance within Africa.
In a recent flare-up within the MAGA community, accusations have surfaced against Elon Musk , suggesting he might be shadow banning his conservative critics on X, formerly known as Twitter. Shadow banning is a practice where a user's content is suppressed without their knowledge.

I can’t believe I just said that. pic.twitter.com/UqKXA5fZJO — Evan (@daviddunn177) December 26, 2024 The Dispute The controversy stems from a heated debate over future immigration policy under President-elect Donald Trump . Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have expressed support for legal immigration of skilled workers, angering some MAGA loyalists. Elon Musk has been vocal about his belief that the U.S. needs to attract "super talented engineers" from around the world to maintain its competitive edge. This contention has ignited a "MAGA civil war," where the grassroots Trump supporters clash with tech moguls who have recently aligned themselves with the MAGA movement, over the issue of high-skilled immigration. His comments defending the need for H-1B visas have been perceived by some as undermining Trump's strict immigration policies, leading to a public feud on X.
