🇺🇸 Global liquidity is drying up, and Wall Street may be heading into a very different kind of crisis. Brandon Weichert spoke with Michael Howell, founder of CrossBorder Capital, about mounting pressure on global financial markets. Howell doesn't expect another 2008-style collapse. His concern is the enormous debt accumulated during years of cheap borrowing, much of which now needs refinancing at higher rates. His estimate is striking: roughly 80% of primary financial market transactions now involve rolling over existing debt rather than funding new investment. And liquidity is beginning to decline. The U.S. economy continues growing, supported by government spending and massive AI infrastructure investments. But Howell argues that this activity is draining liquidity from financial markets. He compared the AI boom to the fiber-optic revolution. The technology changed the world, but some of the companies financing it went bankrupt. A technology can change everything and still be a terrible investment at the wrong price. Howell is watching the flattening Treasury yield curve and widening credit spreads for signs of trouble. He even sees government bonds becoming an attractive refuge. But the real danger is the approaching debt maturity wall. Companies and governments face enormous refinancing obligations just as liquidity becomes scarcer. If the pressure grows too severe, Howell expects central banks to intervene again. The next crisis may begin when the financial system discovers that yesterday's cheap debt has become tomorrow's expensive problem. @WeTheBrandon @crossbordercap

🇺🇸 Trump is really making an EXTREME STRETCH here with "job talking" He said that when a husband gets a better job, his wife likes him much more, gets more turned on, and they become “almost violent in their love.” We gotta make an extra effort to find politics there, but WTF is going on with all this? 😂 Writer: Lucas t.co/Egr7GmntHy

🇺🇸 Trump's war on windmills continues. “Every country that's using windmills has gone bankrupt.” Hey, at least Denmark gets nearly half its electricity from wind and is still very much in business. Writer: Oliver t.co/YkHZQDoQSY

🇮🇷 Even a ceasefire won't reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and Trump has no clean exit. Professor Marandi explains that Iran is tying the waterway's future to Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, and the unfreezing of its assets. "Iran is not going to allow the Strait of Hormuz to normalize." Every ship that passes is leverage, and Iran knows it. @s_m_marandi

🇺🇸 Trump: "TalaFREAKo. He's a vegetarian. My wife corrected me. I was calling it vegan. I know nothing about that. I don't like eating a piece of celery for dinner." He then mocked the idea of ordering a piece of lettuce. Somewhere, a vegan is preparing a 45-minute response video. Writer: Oliver t.co/RFYHuIxMvf

🇺🇸 Trump says he is still out campaigning even though, in his words, the election is already settled. “I don’t need to do this. I already won.” Somebody said 'good luck with the election.' I said, 'No, I already won.' I don't need to do this." Apparently this is less a campaign stop and more a victory lap. Writer: Oliver t.co/6E4ZUd3K0G

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump must be seen by Americans as having failed, and Tehran intends to guarantee it. Professor Marandi explains this is not spite, it is cold deterrence calculus designed to stop the next president from trying the same thing. "Iran will have to ensure that Trump is seen by Americans as having carried out a catastrophic war." If Trump looks victorious, the next war is already being planned. @s_m_marandi

🇺🇸 Trump is back to warning about children undergoing gender transitions at school, and this time he's got a story about Timmy. “Timmy goes out, goes to school, comes back four days later as Sarah. It's true!” He claims 5 or 6 states allow this to happen. “They're sick people.” Writer: Oliver t.co/sVcJUiLm77

🇫🇷 French electronics and media store Fnac in Lille getting targeted as well tonight. Same kind of thing that happened in Paris, Lyon, Marseille and a few other cities during the protests today. Doesn’t seem to be slowing down. Writer: Daniyal t.co/IQjsCr3YqT

🇫🇷 This is heartbreaking to watch. The town hall in Limoges, France, has stood since 1883. That's 143 years of history, and now it's going up in flames. You can rebuild the walls, but you can't bring back the original building that's been standing for over a century. Seeing heritage like this go up in smoke feels so pointless and sad.

🇮🇷 🇺🇸 A symbolic hit on a nuclear mountain was supposed to be a clean exit. It won't be. Professor Marandi is confident Iran hits back hard, no matter how limited the attack. "If he thinks that he is going to carry out an attack to look good, Iran will make sure he looks very bad." There is no off-ramp here. @s_m_marandi

🇫🇷 Holy shit, the city hall in Limoges, France, is engulfed in flames. Just look at the size of that fire. It's tearing right through the building. This is WILD. Writer: Daniyal t.co/iDy4uBwzvG

🇳🇴🇨🇳 Norwegian soldiers KEPT USING Chinese rental cars even after they found the vehicles had recorded them The cars were Deepal models rented through Hertz company, linked to the Chinese-owned Volvo.

🇺🇸🇨🇦 For Trump, the trade deficit of $90B means Canada enjoys a healthcare system with U.S. dollars. Someone should tell him Canada pays for its own system. The trade number doesn’t change that 🙄 Writer: Lucas t.co/2gqIyadJnb

🇮🇱🇮🇷 Netanyahu says he’s not done with Iran. “I am committed to toppling this regime, and I know how to do it.” We’ve come a long way, but there are still stages to complete.” 8 months into the war, the regime is still standing, and Netanyahu still has “stages to complete,” just 10 days before Israelis vote.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump may be preparing to END THE WAR with one FINAL STRIKE But Iran and Israel could turn it into something much bigger. The extraordinary American military buildup around Iran is making it look like Trump is preparing for a limited operation, possibly against Iran's Pickaxe Mountain nuclear facility, followed by a declaration of victory and an American withdrawal. But the central risk is whether everyone else would cooperate with his exit strategy. Iranian state television has reported that Washington sought permission for a symbolic strike without retaliation. That claim remains unverified, but Tehran's reported rejection raises the possibility that Iran would not simply absorb another American attack and move on. Then there is Israel. Israeli strikes against Iranian infrastructure could turn a limited U.S. operation into another prolonged conflict, regardless of Trump's intentions. Meanwhile, reports suggest Iran has rebuilt much of its missile-launching capacity while American interceptor stockpiles have been severely depleted. There are also concerns about U.S. refueling aircraft concentrated at regional airfields within range of Iranian weapons. That creates a dangerous calculation. Washington may be preparing an overwhelming show of force, but Iran still has ways to impose enormous costs. Trump may believe he can launch ONE FINAL ATTACK and decide when everybody stops fighting. That decision though may no longer belong to him. @WeTheBrandon

🇺🇸 Federal agents are reportedly digging through Ilhan Omar's trash for DNA. And that's not even the whole story. The New York Times reports that investigators seized her sister Sahra Noor's phone and are examining private family messages as part of a possible immigration fraud investigation. NewsNation reports that agents also collected garbage, apparently looking for DNA evidence. What they hope to prove remains unclear. Omar's home has already been searched under a warrant, and relatives have reportedly received grand jury subpoenas. She denies wrongdoing and calls the investigation politically motivated. A case involving immigration paperwork from 26 years ago is now reaching into family texts, private homes and even the garbage outside. Writer: Oliver t.co/RQVeNmm43y

🇺🇸🇲🇽 Trump on the wall with Mexico: "Mexico paid for the wall. I called the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America. That’s a form of payment." I don't know if that would have been a good catch for the campaign in 2016. Writer: Lucas t.co/gyXcP1dlC2

🇺🇸 As if there weren’t enough protests today, people showed up at Detroit’s new bridge to Canada chanting for MASS DEPORTATIONS A group stood on a truck at the entrance with American flags and signs reading “Deport 100 Million,” “Abdul = Terrorist in a Suit,” and “Bovino-Lang 2028.” The new bridge to Canada opened a couple of months ago and is already drawing this. While other countries deal with their own streets, Detroit is dealing with... this 😂 Writer: Lucas t.co/TXbdtBdnvC

🇺🇸 JACK SMITH WAS INVESTIGATING AMERICANS FOR BUYING MAGA HATS?? Trump: “Something came out, if you bought a MAGA hat, you were investigated by deranged Jack Smith.” Newly disclosed records show that Smith's investigation obtained personal information on at least 639,000 Republican donors, voters and supporters. According to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, the records included people who DONATED AS LITTLE AS $1 or purchased MAGA merchandise! Names, addresses, financial details and political affiliations were reportedly collected. Insane. Source: New York Post, Fox News / Writer: Oliver t.co/LEB7J1Gxpi

🇺🇸 Trump just described being rich, overweight and old as the 3 worst things you could be during COVID. And then told a story about a heavy, wealthy acquaintance who went into hospital expecting to be home in a couple of days. Instead, he fell into a coma and died. “That is a perfect COVID victim.” And somehow, seconds later, he's talking about murderers and the number 88. Writer: Oliver t.co/NDU81ZnEVu

🇮🇹🇫🇷 Plot twist: this isn’t Paris. It’s Italy, in Milan and Turin.

Europe’s having a moment. Writer: Daniyal t.co/3lw9kpHbb7
