Trump Media's new paid data API launches, for "a direct, licensed, real-time feed of the platform's most market-moving Truths"; Dem. senators asked SEC to probe (CJ Haddad/CNBC)

Builders integrating third-party data feeds should watch how regulators treat monetized access to politically influential content.
