I guess the second article here, right, where it's talking about the prediction markets and we've shown poly market to hear related to relate cuts and I mean obviously they talked a lot about, as we have in this article here, layoffs looming. And interesting to see how that plays out because from what I understand, and I won't say I've researched this in depth, from what I can understand and tell, there's a lot of talk about cutting jobs or appropriations that were passed through Congress in previous years. And when they get passed, they're legal, right? They're law. And you know, the Trump administration is now basically threatening that, hey, we just may just cut those out, you know, we don't want them anyway, let's cut them out. We'll use this as a reason to cut those out as well as remove, you know, people and jobs that potentially were funded through previous appropriations. It'll be interesting to see how that fares and how does that get into legal ground and what legal ground that gets into and so forth as well. But a lot going on here.
