Fed Up

Splits and Caps Daily: Action for Agents

📈 Market Move:

Pulte vs. Powell

You know it’s spicy when the head of housing finance says the head of the Fed should be fired for cause. That’s exactly what FHFA Director Bill Pulte just did, publicly calling on Congress to investigate Jerome Powell for malfeasance—citing sketchy Senate testimony and a $2.5B Fed building renovation that apparently includes private dining rooms and water features. (Yeah, your mortgage is 8% and the Fed’s out here building a spa.)

This is just the latest punch in a months-long slugfest between Pulte, Trump, and Powell over interest rates. Trump wants them slashed. Powell’s holding steady. Why? Inflation fears from Trump’s own tariffs.

The Fed’s staying silent. But if this power struggle escalates, expect markets—and mortgage rates—to get jumpy.

Bottom line: Political pressure on the Fed is heating up, and housing’s caught in the crossfire.

📚 Book Recommendation:

 “Creative Calling” by Chase Jarvis—Alright, real talk—this book isn’t just for “creative” people. It’s for anyone who creates anything. Content. Businesses. Relationships. Momentum. Life.

Chase Jarvis (legendary photographer turned creative CEO) basically drops a truth bomb that’ll either fire you up—or expose you: Creativity isn’t a talent. It’s a habit.

He breaks down how to structure your day, your mindset, and your environment to actually be creative consistently—not just when you're "feeling it." He’s like a personal trainer for your creative brain.

You don’t need to be the next Picasso. You just need to answer the damn call.

If you’ve ever said “I’m just not creative,” this book will slap that lie right out of your mouth—and replace it with a mic.

Read this if:

• You’ve got 99 ideas and zero executions.

• You’re a content creator, entrepreneur, or just someone tired of defaulting to Netflix every night.

• You want to turn creativity into your competitive advantage.

Let Jarvis light the fire. Then go make something.

Most people wait for the perfect moment. Legends create it.
