Stocks looked like a very concerning EKG recently, fluctuating throughout as investors weighed today’s tariff announcement. The Newsmax meme stock kept on surging, stacking a 180% gain on top of Monday’s 735% spike to skyrocket over 900% since the conservative media outlet went public earlier this week.

U.S. stocks whipped through another dizzying day Wednesday in the final hours before President Donald Trump’s unveiling of the tariffs promised as part of his “Liberation Day,” which could drastically remake the global economy. The S&P 500 rose 0.7%, but only after careening between an earlier loss of 1.1% and a later gain of 1.1%. It’s had a pattern this week of opening with sharp drops only to finish the day higher.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 235 points, or 0.6%, and the NASDAQ composite climbed 0.9%. Both also veered from sharply lower in the morning to sharply higher in the afternoon before doubling back.

Mass layoffs at health agencies begin. The purge of thousands of Health and Human Services (HHS) employees announced last week by Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. started yesterday, with senior leaders at the FDA, CDC, and other departments saying they had been pushed out. Among those removed were the FDA’s chief tobacco regulator, its top veterinarian, and medical officers in charge of new drug approvals.
