Katie Miller is leaving Musk World to start a podcast for conservative moms
Katie Miller, a former face of DOGE-world and Musk aide, posted a video on X on Thursday morning announcing that she's starting the "Katie Miller Podcast" aimed at conservative women. She's ending her full-time work with Musk to launch the venture.
"For years I've seen that there isn't a place for conservative women to gather online," Miller said from her plant-lined living room. "There isn't a place for a mom like me, mom of three young kids — four, three, and almost two — and a wife, and trying to do a career, eat healthy, work out."
Today, I'm launching the Katie Miller Podcast.
As a mom of three young kids, who eats healthy, goes to the gym, works full time I know there isn't a podcast for women like myself.
Hope you'll join me. pic.twitter.com/bmbfNofapx

Miller said the podcast will focus on lifestyle, news, and gossip, and that she plans to talk to people "across the political spectrum," business leaders, and celebrities. It will air weekly on Mondays.
The only mention of Musk comes more than halfway through the short video, when Miller talks about her career in communications and government.
"Most recently, I'm concluding my time working full-time for Elon Musk," she said. Miller was at Musk's side during the height of his DOGE-era, and served as the venture's spokesperson.
Both Miller and Musk left their government work in May, and she continued working for the former face of DOGE in the private sector. As recently as last month, Miller was sending out communications for xAI, one of Musk's companies. Miller and Musk did not immediately respond to BI's request for comment.
Miller is married to Stephen Miller, the White House's deputy chief of staff. Musk and President Donald Trump had a high-profile falling out in June over the president's "Big Beautiful Bill."
On X, Miller has posted about popular lifestyle themes in conservative circles, including falling birth rates and whole foods, a prominent part of the Make America Healthy Again ethos.

TSLA vs. RIVN: Which EV Stock Is a Better Buy for Long-Term Gains?
EVs are shaping the future of transportation, and two of the biggest names in the space are Tesla (TSLA) and Rivian Automotive (RIVN). While Tesla is a well-known leader with years of experience and global reach, Rivian is a newer player gaining attention with its bold plans and unique electric trucks. In this article, we'll compare Tesla and Rivian to help you decide which EV stock might be the smarter buy for the future. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. TSLA stock surged over 65% in the past 12 months, fueled by strong investor confidence. However, it has dropped about 20% year-to-date due to missed revenue estimates and concerns around CEO Elon Musk 's political affiliations. Meanwhile, Rivian shares have fallen more than 15% over the same 12-month period, reflecting ongoing hurdles for the young EV maker. Tesla Stays on Top in EV Popularity, but Financial Woes Persist Tesla remains the most popular EV brand, thanks to its strong global presence, innovative technology, and loyal customer base. While long-term investor confidence remains strong, the company is struggling to maintain both market leadership and consistent financial performance. Notably, Tesla missed its second-quarter revenue and profit targets, with automotive sales falling 16% and fewer vehicles sold. Musk warned that the next few quarters could be tough due to higher tariffs and the upcoming end of the U.S. EV tax credit. Investors are staying cautious as the company deals with changing demand and new regulations. Besides making EVs, Tesla is focused on ride-hailing, self-driving, and robotics. However, investors are finding it harder to understand the company's overall direction. Rivian's Growth Stalls Rivian's rapid rise in the EV market has hit a speed bump, as shifting U.S. policies take a toll. Like many EV-only manufacturers, Rivian is feeling the effects of the Trump administration's rollback of pro-EV incentives under its 'big, beautiful bill.' The company is now facing slowing growth, weaker-than-expected earnings, and growing investor concerns as it adjusts its strategy amid shifting market conditions. Earlier this week, the company reported Q2 results and warned of tougher times ahead. Rivian also slashed its full-year EBITDA forecast to a loss of $2.0–$2.25 billion, deeper than its earlier estimate of $1.7–$1.9 billion and worse than Wall Street's $1.88 billion loss projection. Additionally, analysts warn that the loss of federal EV tax credits could dampen demand for its upcoming R2 SUV, potentially forcing price cuts and further deepening its already negative profit margins. Overall, analysts generally remain optimistic about Rivian's long-term prospects. Notably, Wedbush's 4.5-star-rated Dan Ives called Rivian a 'work in progress,' as the company maintained its 2025 delivery forecast but tweaked its EBITDA target to navigate ongoing economic headwinds. Using TipRanks' Stock Comparison Tool, we compared TSLA and RIVN to see which EV stock analysts favor. Both stocks carry a Hold rating. Rivian's price target of $14.36 suggests a potential 20% upside, while Tesla's target of $305.40 implies a 7.6% downside from current levels. Conclusion Both Rivian and Tesla offer strong long-term potential but appeal to different investors. Tesla's proven dominance and diversified operations make it a stable, innovation-led choice. Rivian, though riskier, is gaining traction and may offer greater upside for growth-focused investors.

Red states lead push for MAHA soda bans
Republican-led states are leading the charge to ban soda and candy from their food stamp programs, as Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s 'Make America Healthy Again' (MAHA) movement flips traditional partisanship on its head. Colorado is the only blue state to seek and have a soda ban waiver approved, and the only waiver state to propose expanding SNAP benefits in conjunction with limiting its scope. Both parties at times have expressed interest in eliminating soda from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), but the Trump administration is the first to encourage states to do so. Recent attempts at soda regulation have mostly been concentrated in blue cities. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg (D) infamously tried to ban the sale of supersized sugary drinks in 2013, prompting Republicans to decry his 'nanny state' tactics. With the healthy-eating push now under the MAHA branding, GOP states are jumping aboard. Kennedy doesn't run SNAP — that falls under the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). But as the face of MAHA, Kennedy has been alongside Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins to promote soda and candy bans. In just the first six months of the new administration, 12 state waivers have been approved by USDA that restrict SNAP recipients from purchasing some combination of soft drinks, sugary beverages, energy drinks and candy 'We all believe in free choice, we live in a democracy … if you want to buy sugary soda, you ought to be able to do that. The U.S. taxpayer should not pay for it,' Kennedy said during a recent press conference. The states that have claimed waivers are Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah and West Virginia. SNAP dollars can be used to buy any food or beverage from a grocery store except alcohol, nutritional supplements or hot food. The idea of policing the shopping carts of low-income Americans has never sat well with anti-hunger advocates, who've argued it's paternalistic and stigmatizing for low-income Americans. Additionally, while federal data show sugary drinks are the leading source of added sugars in the American diet, nutrition experts said there is limited evidence that shows SNAP soda bans lead to better health outcomes. There's even less evidence that banning candy and dessert foods from SNAP can positively impact a person's diet. 'Claiming that implementing these restrictions will absolutely lead to a curb in diet-related diseases, you cannot confidently say that. There is no evidence to support that statement,' said Joelle Johnson, the deputy director for Healthy Food Access at the Center for Science in the Public Interest, a group that advocates for stronger nutrition regulation. The SNAP waivers are for pilot programs only, so they won't immediately lead to long-term policy changes. They are a chance for states to conduct the research that's been missing — if they want to find out. Barry Popkin, a professor of nutrition at the University of North Carolina School of Global Public Health, said he thinks waivers are toothless ways for states to show their MAHA bonafides. 'None of these states are doing more than pleasing MAHA, doing what's easy. They can do this internally. They don't have to go to the politicians [and pass laws],' Popkin said, 'Waivers do nothing except allow a state to say you can't buy junk food.' Experts said historically, Republicans who have wanted to ban soda from SNAP also viewed it as a way to trim spending on the program. Some advocates continue to view the latest push with skepticism. One of the groups pushing hard for state SNAP waivers is the Foundation for Government Accountability, a conservative think tank based in Florida that's been working for over a decade to reshape the nation's public assistance programs and significantly cut spending. Johnson said she is worried about a slippery slope. If fewer items are eligible for SNAP, she's concerned GOP leaders will use that as an excuse to cut back on people's monthly benefits. Priya Fielding-Singh, director of policy and programs at the George Washington University's Global Food Institute, said there could be benefits in trying to focus SNAP purchases on healthy food. But it's hard to look at a soda-and-candy ban in isolation, she said. The Agriculture Department slashed about $1 billion in funding that let schools and food banks buy food directly from local farms and ranchers. The White House is proposing deep cuts to fruit and vegetable benefits under the WIC program (Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children). The GOP's new tax cut law is projected to cut $186 billion from SNAP in the next decade and disqualify millions from eligibility. 'It's hard to separate the soda ban from the larger political efforts to shrink SNAP overall. So are these bans about promoting health or are they about shrinking SNAP? And I think the distinction really matters,' Fielding-Singh said. She added that any moves to restrict what people can buy with SNAP should be paired with efforts to give people the 'means and access and resources to eat more healthfully.' But so far, none of the red state waivers does that. Gov. Jared Polis (D) in a statement on Colorado's waiver, called it 'a big step towards improving the health of Coloradans, and reducing obesity rates, diabetes, and tooth decay' that 'will help to ensure that more Coloradans participating in SNAP have access to healthy foods.' The Trump administration has not yet given them the green light on a separate waiver to cover hot foods from grocery stores like rotisserie chicken or soup. Democratic Govs. Laura Kelly (Kan.) and Katie Hobbs (Ariz.) each vetoed bills that called for their states to submit waivers to ban candy and soda. 'I support the idea that Kansans should eat healthier. However, changes to the SNAP food assistance program should be made at the federal level, not on a patchwork, state-by-state basis,' Kelly wrote in her veto message. She also noted the language in the bill would have mandated businesses to stop accepting food assistance benefits for 'healthy' items like protein bars and trail mix while continuing to allow Twix, Kit Kat, and Twizzlers. Kennedy this week said he expects more blue states to be filing waivers. 'I was at the governors' conference in Colorado last week, and I met with a whole string of Democratic governors and they all committed to filing SNAP waivers,' Kennedy said. Kennedy also said those governors also committed to put forward other 'MAHA legislation' but he acknowledged they may not want to be associated with the term because it's become 'kind of a partisan brand.' As she signed Colorado's waiver, Rollins said healthy eating should be bipartisan. 'This is not red or blue, Republican or Democrat,' Rollins said. 'We are discussing and working with every state, so really excited to continue to work with Gov. Polis.'

5 tech stocks you can buy and hold for the next decade
AI, robotics, and self-driving vehicles? These companies could win big as emerging trends play out over the next 10 years. Think about how different the world was just 10 years ago. Some of the things we take for granted today — artificial intelligence chatbots, food and grocery delivery apps, and more — weren't around, or were only starting to gain steam in 2015. The world will continue to change, and technology will play a big part in that. By 2035, once again, some of today's newest innovations will become normal. Long-term investing is about having an open mind and staying optimistic about innovation and progress. The good news is that you don't need to go too far outside the box to find winning stocks that will likely help shape the future. That's because some of them have been doing just that for the past decade or two. Here are five technology stocks you can buy and hold for the next decade. 1. Nvidia Given the role that artificial intelligence (AI) will likely play in the future, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) might be a no-brainer. The company's accelerator chips have become the runaway leader used to train and operate AI software on data center clusters, amassing a market share that researchers peg as high as 92%. The companies building out data centers to support AI demand could spend upwards of $7 trillion on this over the next five years. Nvidia's two AI chip architectures, Hopper and Blackwell, have been smashing hits, and the continuous push for computing power and efficiency to support more intelligent AI makes it likely these companies will want to get their hands on Nvidia's upcoming AI chips. Despite the stock's success, shares are still reasonably valued, making Nvidia a solid buy right now. 2. Alphabet Google's search engine dominance helped Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG)(NASDAQ: GOOGL) become a trillion-dollar behemoth. But the company is much more than that, with far-reaching influence across the technology sector that includes mobile phones, software, cloud computing, and self-driving vehicles. Even as some fear that AI may disrupt Google's golden goose, its digital advertising business, it's also a tremendous growth opportunity for the company. And if recent earnings results mean anything, Google has yet to show any signs that AI is weighing on the company's performance. Investors should consider Alphabet a well-rounded investment in broader technology innovation. Whatever the top growth stories are over the next decade, deep-pocketed and innovative Alphabet is probably going to at least play a factor in them. 3. Tesla Elon Musk's Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) could be the boom-or-bust stock on this list. Tesla started and rose to popularity in electric vehicles, ultimately becoming a pioneer in the automotive industry. However, the stock has stumbled lately as investors see two sides of the coin here. On the one hand, Tesla's electric vehicle sales have slumped, potentially a result of Musk's political activities and highly public (and sometimes controversial) persona. On the other hand, Tesla is pushing hard into humanoid robotics and self-driving vehicles, potential growth catalysts that some believe could far outweigh the company's upside in its legacy electric vehicle business. Tesla is a volatile stock that investors need conviction to hold, but the company's ceiling is high if it realizes its AI and robotics potential over the next decade. Investors have done well betting on Musk thus far; Tesla has outperformed the market over its lifetime. 4. Microsoft Even though Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) has been around for decades, it remains a leader in tech innovation. Many of its legacy products, like its Windows operating system software, remain very relevant today, but the company continually expands and acquires its way to growth. Today, Microsoft is deep into AI, cloud computing, enterprise and consumer software, gaming, and more. Like Alphabet, Microsoft has a lower ceiling due to its sheer size, but it is bound to play a role in shaping the world moving forward. Investing in Microsoft also gets you peace of mind. It pays a dividend and has increased it for 23 consecutive years. Plus, the company has a higher credit rating than the U.S. government. Microsoft is genuinely a do-it-all stock that can be an excellent buy-and-hold investment you can count on to deliver steady results for the foreseeable future. 5. Meta Platforms Social media giant Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) rounds out this list. The company could have the world's best digital advertising business model. Meta gushes cash profits from the ads it shows to the nearly 3.5 billion people who use its Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Threads apps each day. CEO Mark Zuckerberg is still in his early 40s and is steering the company into the future with a heavy emphasis on AI. The company hopes that it can use AI and innovative hardware, like smart glasses, to break free from its dependence on Apple and Google's smartphone app stores. Based on the company's recent earnings report, Meta Platforms' core advertising business still has plenty of juice left, making it a wise stock to buy and hold as Zuckerberg turns his AI vision into reality over the next 10 years.
