Daniel de Visé Personal Finance Reporter

Good morning! It's Daniel de Visé with your Daily Money.

Is any story big enough to trump Taylor Swift's engagement?

Maybe so. This morning, our most-read article is about the Cracker Barrel logo kerfuffle.

Cracker Barrel announced Tuesday it is dropping its much-criticized new logo and returning to the old one, which pictures a folksy fellow beside a barrel. (A cracker barrel, perchance?) Apparently, customers really missed the guy.

Is Trump weaponizing the mortgage industry?

President Donald Trump 's announced firing of Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook amounts to an extraordinary weaponization of a housing finance system that depends on private, deeply personal data from millions of Americans, experts say.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump claimed "sufficient cause" to remove Cook, pointing to accusations that she had made false statements on mortgage applications.
