ACA Subsidy
The Senate rejected two healthcare proposals, leaving enhanced ACA subsidies set to expire in 2026. Democrats sought a three-year extension of Covid-era subsidies, receiving 51 votes but falling short of the 60 needed to overcome a filibuster.
Republicans proposed $1,500 health savings account funds instead, failing with 51 Republican votes. Without subsidy renewal, premiums could double, and some families will lose benefits. The Republican plan covers households earning under 700% of the poverty level but won’t cover full deductibles or certain services.
With open enrollment ending December 15 and no deal by December 31, 24 million Americans face higher costs. Political divisions hinder a resolution before midterms.

Ukraine Security Guarantees
Ukraine submitted a 20-point peace plan to the U.S., which proposes Ukraine withdraw from parts of eastern Donetsk to create a special economic or demilitarized zone, with Russian non-aggression assurances.
Ukraine insists any territorial concession be subject to a public vote and seeks parliamentary-ratified security guarantees, including an 800,000-troop minimum. Russia claims control of Siversk in Donetsk and holds the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant since March 2022; Ukraine wants joint U.S. control, which Russia opposes.
President Trump may attend European peace talks if progress emerges. Meanwhile, Hungary opposes an EU plan to freeze Russian assets indefinitely by majority vote, complicating Western diplomatic efforts amid ongoing intense fighting.

Wall Street waits for earnings calls.
Smart money watches the Pentagon’s checkbook.
Last week, the Navy quietly handed $454 million to a non-profit lab nobody talks about.
It wasn’t for AI chips. It was for nuclear missile guidance.
That’s a massive signal. And it wasn’t the only one.
We also found a frantic $72 million order for nerve-agent antidotes and a sole-source contract for hypersonic defense that the major primes missed out on.
The mainstream media ignores these filings because they look boring.
But this is legal insider information. It tells you exactly where the government is panicking—months before the rest of the market catches on.
We filtered through $1 billion in noise to find the three public companies poised to benefit from this spending.
Don't guess. Just see where the cash is actually going.
AI Rule to Rule Them All
President Trump signed an executive order on December 11, 2025, establishing a single federal framework for AI regulation, blocking states from enacting their own AI laws. The Department of Justice will form an AI Litigation Task Force to challenge conflicting state rules.
The Commerce Department will flag restrictive state laws and assess states’ AI regulatory environments for BEAD program funding. The FCC will consider federal AI reporting standards, and the FTC will address conflicts with federal deceptive practice laws.
The President’s AI advisor will propose a federal legislative framework preempting most state laws except those on child safety, AI data centers, and state AI use. The move follows tech lobbying and faces state rights opposition.

The insiders just made a move.
And it wasn’t buying.
This week, executives at NVIDIA and Tesla sold over $100 million in stock.
They did it at the exact same time.
Usually, these reports show a mix. Some selling, some buying the dip.
But this week?
Silence on the buy side.
Not a single CEO in our data bought shares with their own cash.
One executive at a major media company just dumped 30% of her entire holding.
That isn’t rebalancing. That’s an exit.
The news focuses on what these leaders say on TV.
We focus on what they do with their own wallets.
See who is selling before you buy more.
Crypto Collapse Reckoning
Do Kwon, founder of Terraform Labs, was sentenced to 15 years in U.S. federal prison for wire fraud related to the 2022 collapse of TerraUSD and Luna, which wiped out $40 billion in investor value.
He admitted misleading investors by falsely claiming TerraUSD’s peg to the dollar was maintained by an automated system, while secretly using a trading firm to stabilize prices. The crash triggered failures of major crypto firms like Three Arrows Capital and Voyager Digital, and contributed to FTX’s downfall.
Kwon was arrested in Montenegro in 2023, extradited in 2024, and agreed to pay $80 million in fines and face a permanent ban on crypto securities trading. Terraform Labs filed for bankruptcy in 2025.

Blood Type A Linked to Higher Risk of Early Stroke
A study of 17,000 stroke patients aged 18-59 found blood type affects early stroke risk. Individuals with A1 blood have a 16% higher risk of early stroke, while those with O1 blood have a 12% lower risk.
Type B blood is linked to an 11% higher risk regardless of age. The increased risk for type A blood was not significant after age 60, indicating different causes for early versus late strokes. Researchers suggest blood type may influence stroke risk through clotting factors.
The study included diverse populations but was 65% European. Researchers caution against using blood type alone for screening but highlight genetics' role in early stroke.

Halting Kidney Cancer
Researchers discovered that translocation renal cell carcinoma (tRCC), a rare kidney cancer affecting children and young adults, forms liquid-like RNA-based "droplet hubs" inside cancer cell nuclei that activate tumor growth genes.
The RNA-binding protein PSPC1 stabilizes these hubs. Using CRISPR and other advanced techniques, scientists engineered a nanobody fused to a dissolver protein that, when triggered chemically, dissolves these hubs. This approach halted tumor growth in cell cultures and mouse models.
Targeting these RNA scaffolds offers a potential new treatment for tRCC, which currently lacks effective therapies, and may apply to other pediatric cancers with similar fusion proteins by disrupting tumor growth centers.

“There is a powerful lot of wisdom in the art of leaving things alone, especially when the world has worked itself into a lather. When the human race decides to throw a hurricane of a tantrum, the sensible man drops his anchor in a quiet cove and smokes his pipe until the wind dies down.”
In a world full of noise and spin, we stay focused on facts. No hype, no hidden motives — just honest reporting.
