No, the IRS Isn’t Sending Stimulus Checks in November 2025—But Trump Just Floated a $2,000 ‘Tariff Dividend’

No, the IRS Isn’t Sending Stimulus Checks in November 2025—But Trump Just Floated a $2,000 ‘Tariff Dividend’

What changed today (Nov. 9, 2025) On Sunday morning, President Trump wrote that a “dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone,” framing it as a payout funded by tariff revenues. This is a political proposal, not a program with money going out today. Any such payment would need enabling legislation; none has passed. The Guardian That post builds on earlier talk of tariff-funded rebates (and separate “DOGE” savings ideas), none of which have cleared Congress.

Home EV Charging Revolution: Government Axes Red Tape to Help Millions Without Driveways

Vedanta’s Big Split Stumbles: Govt Roadblocks, Fresh Delays & What It Means for Investors

SEBI Greenlights Documents, But Final Approval Awaits Vedanta’s journey to split its diverse empire reached a tentative milestone when the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) approved the documentation for the demerger plan reuters.com. This essentially meant the market regulator did not object to the revised scheme on record, after earlier compliance checks. SEBI’s nod was crucial – the National Stock Exchange had already issued a no-objection certificate, and Vedanta’s shareholders and creditors had overwhelmingly approved the restructuring (with 99.99% of shareholders in favor, according to filings) in prior votes icicidirect.com icicidirect.com.

Trump’s Tariff Tsunami: 100% Drug Tax and New Import Levies Rock Global Trade

Trump Seeks a Slice of the Quantum Pie: Stocks Rocket as Govt Eyes IonQ, Rigetti, D-Wave Stakes

Trump Administration’s Quantum Push Citing Wall Street Journal sources, U.S. officials are now treating commercial quantum computing as a strategic sector. Under Secretary Gina Raimondo’s reorganized Chips R&D Office, the Commerce Department is reportedly willing to “go deep” in quantum startups – becoming shareholders in exchange for government R&D grants reuters.com cm.asiae.co.kr.
