In a post on X on Tuesday, crypto analyst Ali Martinez (@ali_charts) shared a long‐term Dogecoin (DOGE) price chart highlighting a critical support level that, if lost, could open the door for a steep correction. Martinez pinpointed $0.19 as the line in the sand.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Against the odds, House Speaker Mike Johnson is trying Tuesday to muscle a Republican budget blueprint to passage, a step toward delivering President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” with $4.5 trillion in tax breaks and $2 trillion in spending cuts over stiff opposition from Democrats — and even some Republicans.With almost no votes to spare in Johnson’s bare-bones GOP majority, the speaker is fighting on all fronts — against Democrats, uneasy rank-and-file Republicans and skeptical GOP senators — as he works to keep the package on track. Votes set for Tuesday evening are in jeopardy.“There may be…
Twenty-one civil service employees resigned en masse from Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, according to a letter posted online and shared with media outlets Tuesday. The letter said they refused to use their technical expertise to “compromise core government systems, jeopardize Americans’ sensitive data, or dismantle critical public services.””We swore to serve the American people and uphold our oath to the Constitution across presidential administrations,” wrote the staffers, who joined when the agency was known as the United States Digital Service (USDS). “However, it has become clear that we can no longer honor those commitments at the United States…

WASHINGTON (AP) — The turmoil that enveloped the federal workforce over the last few days is unlikely to cease anytime soon as the U.S. government’s human resources agency considers how to fulfill Elon Musk ’s demands.The Office of Personnel Management told agency leaders Monday that their employees did not have to comply with a Musk-inspired edict for workers to report their recent accomplishments or risk getting fired. But later that evening, OPM sent out another memo suggesting that there could be similar requests going forward — and workers might be sanctioned for noncompliance.“Agencies should consider whether the expectation for employees…
The left-wing groups backing the anti-DOGE protests across the country have been funding a variety of progressive causes in recent years, including defunding the police, pushing socialism, anti-Israel protests and opposing President Donald Trump’s agenda in general. In a press release earlier this month, MoveOn.org announced that it was mobilizing resources as part of a “Congress Works for Us, Not Musk” initiative “aimed at pressuring lawmakers to fight back against the Trump-Musk agenda.”MoveOn.org has taken millions of dollars from George Soros and his Open Society Policy Center in recent years.

Tesla Cybertruck will be getting one highly-anticipated feature that many owners questioned whether it would have the necessary hardware for: Adaptive Headlights. Tesla is ready to roll out Adaptive, or Matrix, Headlights on the new Model Y as deliveries begin in March. The headlights use the external cameras to identify vehicles in its direct line of vision, which, in most vehicles, would cause high beams to flip off. However, certain pixels in the Tesla headlight will dim, keeping visibility for both the driver of the Tesla and the driver of other vehicles at a maximum. Here’s a good visual of…
