Trump to Decide on Iran Strike Within Two Weeks
President Trump will decide within two weeks whether the U.S. will join Israel’s military campaign against Iran, according to a statement delivered Thursday by press secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Meanwhile, an Iranian missile struck a hospital in Israel on Thursday, causing significant damage and injuring at least 71 people, most with minor wounds. Israeli officials condemned the attack as a war crime.
This wealth explosion, driven by the S&P 500’s 25% gain and Nasdaq’s 30% leap, means that now, “everyday millionaires” with $1 million to $5 million in assets collectively control more wealth than all the world’s billionaires combined.
While just 15 centibillionaires control $2.4 trillion in assets, women are positioned to be the biggest winners in the coming “Great Wealth Transfer” of $83 trillion expected to pass between generations over the next 20 years.
America now hosts nearly 40% of the world’s 60 million millionaires, but the tiny countries of Luxembourg and Switzerland still boast the highest concentrations, where more than one in seven adults is a millionaire.
List: What Each State Pays in Federal Taxes
Delaware leads the nation in federal tax revenue per person at $24,575 per resident in 2023, followed by Massachusetts at $21,747 and Minnesota at $20,728, according to a new study.
Washington D.C. is a major outlier, contributing $54,612 per resident—more than double any state—due to its concentration of high-income earners and government-related economic activity.
West Virginia, Mississippi and New Mexico paid the least per capita, each contributing under $6,000 per person. See your state’s ranking here.

The Future Of Power Is American-Made
What says “freedom” more than a pickup truck that’s also a renewable power source? That’s the ultimate vision behind Worksport (Nasdaq: WKSP).
This fast-growing U.S. company has made a name for itself selling truck covers.
Every 100 dealers they sign represents millions of dollars in potential revenue, and their truck tonneau cover business has already signed nearly 400+ dealers, up 4X since the start of 2025.
Worksport’s revenue has grown 455% year-over-year, from $1.5M to $8.5M.
They project that by the end of 2025, they’ll reach $20M in revenue and 30% margins.
Worksport is combining their solar truck covers with battery systems to launch a flagship mobile power system later this year. Beyond trucks, this could power everything from camping trips to emergency response. That’s why it already has $450k in preorders.

Investors Are Eyeing This 8% Yield
Most savings accounts pay around 4%. Investors today can get an 8% dividend, plus share in the potential upside of a fast-growing U.S. business.
Worksport is on track for $20M in revenue and 30% margins by year-end. Their truck tonneau cover business has already signed nearly 400+ dealers—up 4X since the start of 2025.
And the biggest growth driver is likely still ahead: Worksport will soon launch its flagship solar + battery power system, targeting a $13B mobile power market (think off-grid power for 60M+ pick-up trucks).
With cash flow positivity in sight, the next 6 months could present a significant breakthrough.
Right now, investors can get a unit that includes one preferred share (with an 8% yield) that is convertible to common stock at any time and one warrant to purchase Nasdaq-traded shares at $4.50—that’s “instant” upside if public shares start trading higher.
