It’s like in the movie sixth sense

Sometimes, what — or, who — isn’t pictured is just as important as what is. Watch research reporter @amierjeski.bsky.social explain how ProPublica figured out a Russian oligarch bankrolled much of Donald Trump Jr.’s wedding.

If you’re wondering how a foreign nation that takes $3.8 billion from the US every year can continue to allow its terrorist “settler” citizens to nearly kill diplomats and American journalists in broad daylight, consider what the US Ambassador to that foreign nation believes:

“.. Since January 2020, consumer prices in the US have risen at a 4% annualized rate, DOUBLE the Fed's 2% target.” - Bilello #CPI

Saying he'd be cool with Iran nuking my home city is pretty bad but not quite as bad as when Hillary said some trump supporters were deplorable so I can see why the media turned the latter into a major scandal and not the former

Trump: “Call Tom [Cotton] on his cellphone at, 479-453-0533, and let him know.”

For a long time I've wanted a sense of how trump has or hasn't interacted with chatbots (we know he posts a lot of slop sure). And this TIME anecdote about Grok arguably leading Trump into war is just extremely bracing

The ten-year yield blasts thru 5.25% @cnbc.com

BTIG: “.. the 10yr yield was sub-4% before the war broke out in March. It's currently 5.13%. .. if $SPX can rise with rising yields, can it not fall with falling yields? That is perhaps the scenario that is least expected, but one that should be considered.”

“.. China's trade position has never been stronger. .. some supply chains are now moving back INTO China. German firms are boosting their China investments .. And polls find China is viewed more favorably than the US in numerous countries for the first time.” www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Donald Trump did that — and he could stop it if he wanted to.

national average now $4.47/gal, less than 10 cents from surpassing the previous 2026 high on May 20, while diesel up to $6.434/gal and heading to potentially knock out the 2022 inflation adjusted peak ($6.58/gal adjusted)

NEW: US intelligence reports warn China could acquire US warplane technology if Trump continues with his F-35 jet sales to Saudi Arabia. The Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency has raised concerns about China's military partnership with the Saudis. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/09/16/u...

we've reached a new milestone- the U.S. average diesel price has hit $6.301/gal while gasoline is up to $4.355/gal. I expect both of these to jump noticably over the next 48 hours. diesel could hit $6.60/gal in a few days, surpassing the inflation-adjusted peak seen in 2022.
