Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), criminalizes the distribution of nonconsensual intimate imagery, including AI-generated deepfake pornography, and mandates swift removal processes from social media platforms.

SEC Drops Lawsuit Against Crypto Exchange Kraken, CEO Calls It, 'Massive Win' — BAYC NFT Creator Yuga Labs Also Gets Reprieve

CoreWeave, Inc., a cloud computing firm backed by NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>), filed its Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday, signaling its intent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/44053318/nvidia-backed-coreweaves-4b-ipo-the-ai-booms-next-big-test">for an initial public offering</a>. 
What Happened: The company, which powers artificial intelligence workloads for giants like Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) and Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), aims to list its Class A common stock on the Nasdaq under the ticker "CRWV." 
This IPO marks a pivotal moment for the AI infrastructure sector, projected by Bloomberg Intelligence to hit $399 billion by 2028.
Founded by Michael Intrator, Brian Venturo, and Brannin McBee, CoreWeave has positioned itself as the "AI Hyperscaler," delivering specialized GPU-based cloud services. Its revenue soared to $1.9 billion in 2024 from $229 million in 2023, a 737% jump, though it reported a net loss of $863 million, per the filing. 
The company's platform, boasting over 250,000 GPUs across 32 data centers, supports AI labs like Cohere and Mistral, leveraging contracts worth $15.1 billion in remaining performance obligations as of Dec. 31, 2024.

With $14.5 billion raised in debt and equity, including a $7.6 billion facility from Blackstone, CoreWeave eyes expansion amid a $20 trillion AI economic impact forecast by International Data Corporation for 2030.
The IPO, underwritten by Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs Group Inc., offers shares from both CoreWeave and selling stockholders, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/05/38561494/nvidia-backed-ai-start-up-coreweave-lands-new-1-1b-funding-whats-on-the-cards">with pricing still undisclosed</a>.

Nvidia-Backed CoreWeave Files For IPO Amid Explosive AI Growth, Revenue Surges 737% To $1.9 Billion

Renowned economist and market commentator Peter Schiff called for a Congressional investigation Monday into President Donald Trump&#8217;s recent cryptocurrency announcements, citing potential insider trading and manipulation.
What Happened: In an X post, Schiff wanted clarity on several questions tied to Trump&#8217;s strategic cryptocurrency reserve declaration on Sunday. 
&#8220;Who authored the two Sunday afternoon posts on the President&#8217;s Truth Social account? Who knew about the first post in advance, and when were they first informed of the wording of the post and the timing of its release,&#8221; Schiff asked.
Notably, Trump announced the inclusion of XRP (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/xrp/usd">XRP</a>), Cardano (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ada/usd">ADA</a>), and Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) in the first post, sending the altcoins skyrocketing.
However, after a couple of hours, Trump&nbsp;<a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/114093946326587357" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">said</a>&nbsp;Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) would be at the &#8220;heart&#8221; of the reserve, causing a rally in the two blue-chip coins as well.

Additionally, Schiff sought details of how much those with &#8220;advance notice&#8221; spent on the five cryptocurrencies, as well as how profit they made selling them.
&#8220;We also need all emails or text messages that involve any members of the President&#8217;s staff, his or their family or friends, his campaign donors, or Truth Social employees, that relate to either of the two Sunday Truth Social posts,&#8221; Schiff added. 
Former White House communications director&nbsp;Anthony Scaramucci&nbsp;shared Schiff&#8217;s concerns. saying, &#8220;This hurts and doesn't help the industry.&#8221;

However, Trump&#8217;s tariff announcements <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/03/44099481/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-nosedive-as-trumps-tariff-moves-wipe-out-crypto-reserve-fueled-gains-analyst-says-breaking-through-this-barrier-will-help-btc-touch-new-highs-2">sent cryptocurrencies spiraling down</a> a day later, with Bitcoin dropping to an intraday low of $85,081,

PayPal-Backed Startup Flexes Muscle With Strategic E-Rupee Acquisition

On Monday, Cathie Wood&#8216;s Ark Invest executed significant trades involving Airbnb Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ABNB#NASDAQ">ABNB</a>), Coinbase Global Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COIN#NASDAQ">COIN</a>), Tempus AI Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TEM#NASDAQ">TEM</a>), and ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (BTS: ARKB) amid a broader <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/03/44098232/markets-tank-after-trump-confirms-more-tariffs-heres-what-wall-street-is-saying">market sell-off.</a>
The Airbnb Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s ARKF fund acquired 74,111 shares of Airbnb via Ark Fintech Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKF#NYSE">ARKF</a>). This move comes on the heels of Airbnb&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/market-summary/25/02/43722350/airbnb-crushes-q4-estimates-as-classic-hotel-users-flock-to-short-term-rentals-heres-whats-driving-the-surge-in-nights-and-experiences">impressive fourth-quarter performance</a>, where it surpassed earnings expectations. The company&#8217;s growth was fueled by increased bookings in &#8220;nights and experiences&#8221; and a shift in market share from traditional hotels. According to Airbnb&#8217;s CFO, Ellie Mertz, the company has been attracting more users from classic hotels, contributing to its market share gains. The value of this trade is currently unavailable due to missing closing price data.
For the day, ABNB stock rose 1.5% to close at $140.98, bringing the value of Ark&#8217;s purchase to approximately $10.45 million.
The Coinbase Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s ARKW fund purchased 38,865 shares of Coinbase through ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKW#NYSE">ARKW</a>). Based on Coinbase&#8217;s closing price of $205.75 on Monday, this transaction was valued at $7.99 million. This acquisition aligns with the recent surge in the cryptocurrency market, driven by President Donald Trump&#8217;s announcement of a strategic U.S. cryptocurrency reserve. Major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), declined on Monday evening, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/03/44099481/bitcoin-ethereum-dogecoin-nosedive-as-trumps-tariff-moves-wipe-out-crypto-reserve-fueled-gains-analyst-says-breaking-through-this-barrier-will-help-btc-touch-new-highs-2">erasing the gains</a> they had made on Sunday due to the crypto reserve news. This downturn occurred as investors grew concerned about the impending tariffs proposed by the Trump administration on key U.S. trading partners: Canada, Mexico, and China.
The Tempus AI Trade
Ark Invest made significant buys of Tempus AI shares, adding 719 shares to ARK Genomic Revolution ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKG#BATS">ARKG</a>) and 9,100 shares to ARK Innovation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKK#NYSE">ARKK</a>). The purchases totaled $500,082, as Tempus AI shares closed 9.34% lower at $50.93 on Monday.
Despite Tempus AI&#8217;s <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43927560/tempus-ai-q4-earnings-revenue-miss-eps-beat-strong-guidance-shares-move-lower">recent revenue miss</a> in its fourth-quarter earnings, the company reported a better-than-expected EPS and provided strong guidance. This strategic move by Ark Invest suggests confidence in Tempus AI&#8217;s future prospects. The value of this trade is currently unavailable due to missing closing price data.
The ARKB Trade
Ark Invest&#8217;s ARKW fund sold 95,769 shares of ARK 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (BTS: ARKB). ARKB ended Monday higher by 2.12% at $85.84. The sale was valued at $8.2 million. 
This decision follows a period of volatility in the cryptocurrency market, where Ark had <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43963343/cathie-woods-buys-the-dip-in-tempus-ai-coinbase-but-sells-arks-bitcoin-etf-shares-amid-crypto-meltdown">previously sold shares</a> amid a crypto meltdown.

Cathie Wood's Monday Moves: Ark Buys Tempus AI Dip And Airbnb Spike— Goes Shopping For Coinbase Stock Amid Trump Tariff Crypto Meltdown

On Monday, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) CEO Tim Cook sparked speculation with a cryptic teaser hinting at a new &#8220;Air&#8221; product launch this week, leaving fans wondering whether it's the highly anticipated MacBook Air or something entirely unexpected.
What Happened: Cook posted a short video on X, formerly Twitter, with the text, &#8220;There's something in the air,&#8221; accompanied by the caption, &#8220;This week.&#8221;

Previously, Bloomberg columnist Mark Gurman reported that Apple is preparing to introduce 13-inch and 15-inch MacBook Air models sometime this month. Apple also launched its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37457340/apple-unveils-new-macbook-air-with-m3-chip-and-dual-display-support">M3 MacBook Air</a> around this time last year.
However, Apple has other &#8220;Air&#8221;-branded products in the pipeline. Reports suggest a new iPad Air could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43428732/apples-spring-2025-lineup-iphone-se-4-m4-macbook-air-and-more-expected-soon">also be on the horizon</a>.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Last month, Apple launched the iPhone 16e, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43820197/apple-unveils-iphone-16e-with-a18-chip-ai-features-599-price-tag">budget-friendly</a> model replacing the iPhone SE.

Despite a slight dip in iPhone sales, the company&#8217;s installed base reached an all-time high.
Mac revenue reached $8.99 billion, up from $7.78 billion last year, while iPad revenue grew to $8.09 billion from $7.02 billion.
Price Action: Apple&#8217;s stock closed at $238.03 on Monday, down 1.58%, but gained 0.97% in after-hours trading, bringing its year-to-date decline to 2.39%, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro data</a>.

Tim Cook Says 'There's Something In The Air' — New MacBook Air Or A Surprise Product Launch On The Cards?

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Chair Robyn Denholm has sold approximately $33.7 million worth of the electric vehicle maker&#8217;s stock, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Monday. This sale is part of a previously adopted trading plan.
What Happened: Denholm has been steadily offloading Tesla shares over recent months. In early February, she sold 112,390 shares worth about $43.2 million, alongside CFO Vaibhav Taneja and board member Kimbal Musk, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/02/43557967/elon-musks-brother-kimbal-musk-and-other-tesla-execs-sell-over-73-million-in-stock">who also offloaded significant holdings</a>. 
This trend among Tesla insiders comes as the company navigates macroeconomic uncertainties and intensifying competition in the EV market.

Why It Matters: Tesla shares declined 2.84% on Monday, weighed down by broader market concerns following President Donald Trump's announcement of new tariffs on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China. The 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports and 20% tariffs on Chinese goods have sparked fears of rising costs and inflationary pressure. 
Meanwhile, Tesla&#8217;s leading competitor, BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BYDDY#OTC">BYDDY</a>), reported robust sales growth in February, more than doubling its new energy passenger vehicle deliveries to 318,233 units. The Chinese EV maker, which briefly overtook Tesla as the world's top battery electric vehicle (BEV) seller in late 2023, remains a formidable challenger, particularly with its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44072164/tesla-rival-byd-more-than-doubles-passenger-vehicle-sales-in-february-thriples-production">dominance in plug-in hybrids</a>.
Price Action: Tesla's stock declined 2.84% on Monday, closing at $284.65, with an additional 0.79% drop in after-hours trading, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Ethereum tanked over 13% to an intraday low of $2,097.08, erasing the Sunday upsides, while Dogecoin also took a U-turn, plunging over 15%.&nbsp;
The pullback liquidated $804 million from the cryptocurrency market in the last 24 hours, with $86 million in long positions wiped out.
However, over $1 billion in short positions risked liquidation if Bitcoin rebounded to around $92,300.
Bitcoin's Open Interest plummeted 9.88% in the last 24 hours. Interestingly, Binance futures traders were buying the dip, with long positions surging to 69% of the total bets.
The Crypto Fear and Greed Index fell back into the "Extreme Fear" region, fuelling concerns of further sell-offs.

Analyst Notes: Popular blockchain analytics firm CryptoQuant noted that Bitcoin's short-term holders were experiencing modest losses, which could spur accumulation as prices decline.
"For Bitcoin to retest its ATH, a substantial bullish impulse is required, marked by a breakthrough of the STH Cost Basis level ($90,000–91,000) and the ability to maintain prices above this threshold to restore short-term investor confidence," the firm projected.
The cost basis for short-term holders is the original buying price of an investment held for less than a year.

Why It&#8217;s Important: Founded in 2021 by former OpenAI employees, Anthropic initially sought to raise $2 billion but exceeded expectations with an oversubscribed round, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-03/anthropic-finalizes-megaround-at-61-5-billion-valuation?srnd=phx-technology">reported</a> Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the discussion.
The company's revenue run rate has grown by 30% this year.
The investment follows <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42141911/amazon-and-anthropic-deepen-4-billion-ai-partnership-with-claude-35-launch">previous backing from Amazon</a>, which invested an additional $4 billion in November, and Google, which contributed <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43127416/anthropic-gains-big-with-google-backing-aiming-for-60-billion-valuation-and-surging-ai-revenue">$1 billion in January</a>.
Last week, Anthropic introduced an <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/25/02/43927621/anthropic-releases-most-intelligent-llm-yet-how-does-it-compare-to-openai-deepseek">upgraded version</a> of its AI model Sonnet, along with a new agent designed to automate software coding tasks.

<a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/03/us-pauses-military-aid-to-ukraine-says-white-house.html" title="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/03/us-pauses-military-aid-to-ukraine-says-white-house.html">https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/03/us-pauses-military-aid-to-ukraine-says-white-house.html</a>
&nbsp;
U.S. President Donald Trump has paused all military aid to Ukraine following his clash with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy last week, a White House official said on Monday.
"President has been clear that he is focused on peace. We need our partners to be committed to that goal as well. We are pausing and reviewing our aid to ensure that it is contributing to a solution," said the official, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
&nbsp;
Zelenskiy's office did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment outside office hours.
The move comes after Trump upended U.S. policy on Ukraine and Russia upon taking office in January, adopting a more conciliatory stance towards Moscow - and after an explosive confrontation with Zelenskiy at the White House on Friday in which Trump criticized him for being insufficiently grateful for the Washington's backing in the war with Russia.
On Monday Trump again said Zelenskiy should be more appreciative of American support after earlier responding angrily to an Associated Press report quoting Zelenskiy as saying the end of the war is "very, very far away."
"This is the worst statement that could have been made by Zelenskyy, and America will not put up with it for much longer!" Trump wrote on Truth Social, using an alternative spelling of the Ukrainian leader's name.
But Trump also suggested on Monday that a deal to open up Ukraine's minerals to U.S. investment could still be agreed despite his frustration with Kyiv, as European leaders floated proposals for a truce in Russia's war with its neighbor.
&nbsp;
The Trump administration views a minerals deal as America's way of earning back some of the tens of billions of dollars it has given to Ukraine in financial and military aid since Russia invaded three years ago.
When asked on Monday if the deal was dead, Trump said at the White House: "No, I don't think so."
Trump described it as a "great deal for us" and said he would give an update on the situation on Tuesday night when he addresses a joint session of Congress.

Nvidia, TSMC, Gitlab, AST Spacemobile, And Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

In a bold move, Ontario Premier Doug Ford has warned of a potential cessation of electricity exports to the U.S. The announcement is a response to President Donald Trump&#8217;s planned 25 percent tariffs on Canadian goods, as cited by <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/international/5173914-ontario-premier-doug-ford-tariff-threat/">The Hill</a> on Monday.
What Happened: Ford made this declaration at a mining event in Toronto, expressing his readiness to match the U.S. tariffs dollar for dollar. He emphasized the U.S.&#8217;s significant reliance on Canada&#8217;s electricity, asserting that they should &#8220;feel the pain&#8221; of their tariff decisions.
Furthermore, Ford highlighted the unity of both federal and provincial governments in their opposition to U.S. tariffs. &#8220;The&nbsp;provinces have a big say&nbsp;in it, but it&#8217;s the federal government that&#8217;s leading the charge, and we&#8217;re&nbsp;going to stand shoulder-to-shoulder no&nbsp;matter who&#8217;s in the federal government,&#8221; he said.
This announcement follows Trump&#8217;s confirmation of the 25 percent tariffs on Canada and Mexico, set to be implemented on Tuesday. The President also announced the commencement of reciprocal tariffs from April 2, covering imports from all nations that impose import taxes on U.S. goods.

Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s decision to impose 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico, along with 20% tariffs on China, has <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44092335/trumps-tariffs-threaten-canada-mexico-china-and-american-wallets">raised concerns</a> about the stability of the economy.
Following Trump&#8217;s announcement, economists and consumers are bracing for the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44068922/the-tariffs-are-going-forward-on-time-on-schedule-trump-confirms-canada-and-mexico-tariffs-what-should-u-s-consumers-expect">widespread implications</a> of the tariffs across the United States. A variety of goods nationwide are likely to see price increases.
Legendary investor Warren Buffett has also weighed in on the issue, characterizing tariffs as<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/03/44070257/warren-buffett-calls-tariffs-an-act-of-war-warns-they-function-as-a-tax-on-goods-amid-market-turmoil"> "an act of war"</a> that functions as a consumer tax. He warned of the impact of tariffs on inflation, stating, "Over time, they are a tax on goods. I mean, the Tooth Fairy doesn't pay 'em!"
Markets swung sharply after Trump moved forward with tariff imposition on Monday, triggering a sell-off that left major indices in the red. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell nearly 1.5% to 43,191.24, while the S&amp;P 500 dropped about 1.8% to 5,849.72. The Nasdaq saw a steeper decline of 2.6%, closing at 18,350.19.
The Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>), which tracks the Nasdaq-100 index, ended Monday&#8217;s regular session lower by 2.2%, while the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) fell 1.75%.

Trump Tariff Fallout: Ontario Premier Threatens To Cut Off US Electricity Exports — They Should 'Feel The Pain'

House Republicans recently passed a budget resolution that aligns with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/44026259/millions-rely-on-usps-trumps-plan-could-upend-1-2-trillion-in-mail-and-shipping">President Donald Trump</a>'s campaign promises, including border security funding and tax cuts. However, the proposal has created internal divisions within the party, particularly over proposed cuts to Medicaid.
While some Republicans support reforms aimed at reducing fraud and waste, others warn that drastic reductions could harm millions of Americans who rely on the program. With a razor-thin majority, GOP leaders must navigate these concerns carefully to advance their budget goals.

</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Proposed Cuts and GOP Leadership's Stance</h2>
The House GOP's budget resolution, which passed in a close 217-215 vote, includes a directive for congressional committees to find at least $2 trillion in spending cuts over the next decade. The Energy and Commerce Committee, which oversees Medicaid, is tasked with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/44036422/robert-reich-slams-880-billion-medicaid-cuts-trumps-tyranny-is-undeniable">cutting $880 billion</a>—a reduction that is widely expected to impact Medicaid beneficiaries.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has emphasized that cuts will focus on eliminating &#8220;fraud, waste, and abuse&#8221; rather than reducing benefits. However, the resolution does not explicitly protect Medicaid from reductions. Some conservative lawmakers, including House Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Harris (R-MD), advocate for implementing work requirements for certain Medicaid recipients.&nbsp;
"I think the American people do believe that able-bodied people who get welfare benefits in this country actually should be asked to work, train for work, go to school," Harris said.&nbsp;
Trending: Can you guess how many Americans successfully retire with $1,000,000 saved?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/1milsaved"> The percentage may shock you</a>.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Opposition from Within the GOP</h2>
Not all House Republicans are on board with the proposed Medicaid changes. Freshman Rep. Rob Bresnahan of Pennsylvania voiced his opposition in a <a href="https://bresnahan.house.gov/media/press-releases/bresnahan-statement-budget-reconciliation">statement</a>: &#8220;If a bill is put in front of me that guts the benefits my neighbors rely on, I will not vote for it.&#8221; He emphasized that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43901103/medicaid-faces-880-billion-cuts-but-trump-says-social-security-is-safe">Medicaid benefits</a> are promises made to constituents, particularly low-income seniors and individuals with disabilities.
Other GOP lawmakers representing swing districts have also expressed concerns about the potential political consequences of Medicaid cuts. A group of Republican lawmakers representing large Hispanic populations, as well as representatives from districts with significant low-income populations, recently sent <a href="https://x.com/RepTonyGonzales/status/1892352496917459386">a letter</a> to Johnson urging caution in altering the program. Their argument aligns with Trump's previous statements in which he pledged to protect Medicaid, though he later endorsed the House budget resolution that includes proposed reductions.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Public Response and Political Implications</h2>
The proposed Medicaid cuts have drawn criticism from advocacy groups and Democratic lawmakers. Protect Our Care, a left-leaning nonprofit, has launched an ad campaign targeting vulnerable House Republicans, warning that the cuts could strip healthcare coverage from hundreds of thousands of people in key districts.
See Also: The average American couple has saved this much money for retirement —<a href="http://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset"> How do you compare</a>?
Meanwhile, KFF polling suggests that Americans across all parties hold favorable views of Medicaid and believe that it's a helpful resource for lower-income Americans.&nbsp;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Comes Next?</h2>
The House resolution now moves to the Senate, where lawmakers must reconcile differences with a separate budget proposal. The reconciliation process will determine the final scope of spending cuts and tax policies. With such a slim majority in the House, Johnson can afford to lose only a handful of Republican votes—meaning the party's internal divide over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43718712/floridas-medicaid-disaster-1-3-million-cut-from-coverage-one-of-the-highest-disenrollment-rates-in-the-u-s">Medicaid</a> could ultimately shape the outcome of the budget debate.
As the debate continues, lawmakers must balance fiscal responsibility with the needs of their constituents, knowing that their decisions will likely have lasting political and economic consequences.

'If A Bill Is Put In Front Of Me That Guts Benefits, I Will Not Vote For It' — GOP Faces Internal Divide Over Medicaid Cuts

Stocks fell sharply Monday after President Donald Trump announced plans to impose 25% tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico and an additional 20% tariff on goods imported from China, beginning Tuesday.

Restaurant company Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CMG#NYSE">CMG</a>) could be negatively impacted by pending tariffs on Mexico, which could increase the cost of avocados and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/43442219/why-beer-tequila-avocados-cars-iphone-prices-could-rise-trumps-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-china-to-hurt-several-sectors">other food items.</a>
While companies will be faced with tough challenges of how to offset the increased prices and lower profits, Chipotle's CEO Scott Boatwright is committed to not passing the costs onto the consumer.
What Happened: Tariffs of 25% on items imported into the United States from Mexico are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/02/44010093/trumps-plan-for-canada-mexico-china-tariffs-to-start-march-4-could-shake-stock-market">expected to take effect </a>Tuesday and the restaurant industry is one of many that could face higher costs as a result.
Boatwright recently shared how the company was bracing for higher costs as a result of President Donald Trump&#8217;s tariffs.
"It is our intent as we sit here today to absorb those costs," Boatwright <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/business/consumer/chipotle-prices-trump-tariffs-ceo-company-will-absorb-higher-costs-rcna194214">said </a>on "NBC Nightly News" Sunday. He said the tariffs could be a "significant headwind" for the company and pricing changes could come in the long run.
Boatwright previously said Chipotle imports around 50% of its avocados from Mexico, with the remaining share coming from places like Colombia, Peru and the Dominican Republic.
"We are fortunate to have such an extraordinary economic model at Chipotle that we can withstand those types of inflationary pressures and not have to pass those costs off to the consumer."
The Chipotle CEO said the company's cost of goods could increase 0.6% on a rolling basis from the tariffs.
"We don't think it's fair to the consumer to pass those costs off to the consumer, because pricing becomes permanent,&#8221; Boatwright said. &#8220;And so again, back to the idea of delivering extraordinary value to the consumer. We're going to stay the course."

Why It's Important: The decision not to pass costs onto consumers was likely a tough one and one that other companies will wrestle with.
Benzinga <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42402629/trump-to-change-dollar-stores-for-good-dollar-tree-exec-says-prepared-to-act">previously shared</a> that Dollar Tree said tariffs could mean price hikes in stores or changes to the product assortment.
Dollar Tree Interim CEO Mike Creedon said the company would look to negotiate lower costs with suppliers, could change product specs and pack sizes and stop the sale of certain items altogether.
Chipotle said earlier this year that 2025 could prove to be a volatile year with slower sales growth than analysts expected.
As a public company, Chipotle faces the tough task of appealing to both investors and consumers. While the move to eat the costs at the restaurant level will be praised by consumers, investors may not share that sentiment. The question will be if they can gain additional customers who appreciate the move or take share from other restaurants that put surcharges on items.
Companies will likely be impacted by tariffs and with stocks selling off on Monday, investors may be expecting things to get worse before they get better.
Benzinga&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/02/43827291/exclusive-will-trumps-tariffs-hurt-or-help-stock-market-59-say-this" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">recently asked</a>&nbsp;if the tariffs could impact stock market indexes like the S&amp;P 500, which is tracked by the&nbsp;SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>).
"How will Trump's tariffs affect the stock market?" Benzinga asked.
The results were:
<ul>
<li>Weigh down: 59%</li>
<li>Push higher: 23%</li>
<li>No real impact: 19%</li>
</ul>
The majority of respondents said Trump's tariffs will send the stock market lower. The remaining voters were split nearly even between the stock market going higher as the result of tariffs or the tariffs not having a real impact on stock market returns.
CMG Price Action: Chipotle stock was up 0.7% to $54.33 on Monday versus a 52-week trading range of $47.98 to $69.26. Chipotle stock is down 9.3% year-to-date in 2025 and trading flat over the last year.
