Deep dives
The Rise of Crypto Support for Trump
The cryptocurrency industry, once criticized by Trump, is now rallying behind him. Leaders like Mark Andreessen and Ben Horowitz are supporting Trump's pro-crypto stance with donations. Trump's shift towards crypto has attracted wealthy supporters, leading to a significant impact on his political campaign.
Challenges of Rent Control Policy
The White House proposed a rent control policy capping rent increases at 5% annually for two years.

The decline in Disney Channel viewership highlights the changing landscape of children's entertainment preferences. Disney seeks strategies to maintain relevance, including investments in different content genres.
