You're very good at digging so I thought you might find this interesting. Possibly another hint regarding the timing of things:
As you probably know, the flag in the White House post only has 40 stars. The last time the USA only had 40 states was November 1889. World events of Nov 1889.
🟢 State 39: North Dakota was admitted on November 2, 1889.
🟢 State 40: South Dakota was admitted on November 2, 1889, making the US have 40 states for that day.
🟢 State 41: Montana was admitted on November 8, 1889.
Regarding specific banking events in 1889 (From AI):
In 1889, the most significant banking event was the Comptoir d'Escompte crisis in France, where the Banque de France intervened to prevent a total panic after the bank's collapse was triggered by its involvement in the copper market.
Other notable events include the founding of Washington Mutual Savings Bank in Seattle to aid in the city's rebuilding after its great fire, the founding of the Massachusetts Trust Company (which later became Eagle Bank), and a bank robbery in Telluride, Colorado, by Butch Cassidy.
The "Eagle Bank" of 1889 has evolved into EagleBank, a bank holding company headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, though there are several banks with "Eagle" in their name, including a different Eagle Bank in Everett, Washington.
The 1889 bank was founded in Berryville, Arkansas as the Carroll County Bank and was renamed Bank of 1889 in 2022.

Interesting, however I didn't even notice the 40 stars. Possibly just AI messing up while creating the image?
Possibly.
And today is National Cat Day.
Maybe RK will file a 13-G like he has on cat day in the past
