What is Section 230 which Trumps wants terminated?

Section 230 is a piece of Internet legislation, passed into law as part of the Communications Decency Act (CDA) of 1996 (a common name for Title V of the Telecommunications Act of 1996), formally codified as Section 230 of the Communications Act of 1934 at 47 U.S.C.§ 230.
Targeting fake news and the US presidential elections, Trump and others have attacked Section 230, saying it has given companies too much legal protection, allowing them to escape unscathed.

Treating gold and silver as money

May 12, 2024 update: Nebraska ended capital gains taxes on sales of gold and silver With Gov. Jim Pillen's signature.
Older news:
42 states have removed some or all taxes from the purchase of gold and silver.
And there are new bills pending now in five of the eight remaining states, i.e. Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky, Hawaii, and New Jersey.
In 2019, the Sound Money Defense League teamed up with sound money advocates in West Virginia to eliminate sales taxes on precious metals.
A similar effort will be considered in Olympia, Washington.
Passage into law would relieve some of the tax burdens on investors, and would also take a step toward treating gold and silver as money instead of as commodities.
Repealing these taxes knocks down one barrier that might keep some investors from considering physical metal for their portfolios.

President Donald Trump, who nominated Jerome Powell to lead the Federal Reserve in 2017, recently stated he has “no intention” of firing the central bank chair before his term ends in 2026. This marks a shift from Trump’s escalated rhetoric, where he hinted at the unprecedented step of ousting him over disagreements on interest rate policies. Trump’s push for lower rates to counter his tariff-driven economic agenda has clashed with Powell’s warnings of potential inflation and slower growth. Despite the de-escalation, which calmed markets, Trump’s continued pressure suggests the Fed’s independence remains under strain as he tests the limits of his influence.
Trump’s frustration centers on the Fed’s refusal to cut interest rates, which he says hinders growth.
Powell, whose term lasts until May 2026, has stressed the Fed’s independence. Removing him would require proving misconduct, a legal challenge no president has won. The move could test the Fed’s autonomy.
