Riots in France and attacks on Saudi as I write this This is not the 2026 I expected

🚨🇮🇹 More footage when CHAOS BROKE OUT right in front of Milan Cathedral today The cost-of-living march, as in France, pushed the edges from a protest to a complete battlefield. It's always the same pattern... Writer: Lucas t.co/3krCQ6Y3pd

🇪🇬🇸🇦 Daily News Recap An Iranian submarine secretly delivered missile parts and military advisers to Yemen, and now Egypt is calling an emergency parliamentary vote to authorize troops. Brandon Weichert says the post-1945 Middle East order is cracking in real time, with Turkey quietly waiting for its own moment to reassert Ottoman-era influence. "The once in a generation or longer change in the Middle East is happening." The beating heart of the region may stop sooner than anyone is ready for. @WeTheBrandon

🚨🇮🇹 Is there some kind of REVOLUTION ATTEMPT in Europe? France, Albania, and now ITALY, with protesters and police CLASHING right in front of Milan Cathedral. You wouldn't recognize these places... Western countries are ERUPTING. Writer: Lucas t.co/HXYSTmsRXO

🇫🇷 Wish Captain America really pulled up in Paris with confidence. “I can do this all day… even in Paris.” Writer: Daniyal t.co/0lA3ItmsIn

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Daily News Recap The fleet isn't just avoiding Iranian missiles. It may be moving toward a beachhead. "If they were planning to escalate by doing some kind of a limited ground incursion in Baluchistan, you would want those naval assets closer to the beachhead to provide support more directly." Two Marine Expeditionary Units, the 82nd Airborne, and now naval assets off Pakistan. This stopped being routine a while ago. @WeTheBrandon

🇺🇸🇵🇰🇮🇷A U.S. Navy destroyer from the George Washington carrier group was reportedly SPOTTED on satellite imagery off Pakistan, about 400 km from Iran. The carrier group has been operating in the Arabian Sea for weeks, staying well clear of the Strait of Hormuz. Open-source trackers say U.S. carriers have remained hundreds of kilometers out, away from Iranian waters. The destroyer’s exact location remains unconfirmed.

🇺🇸 Trump has decided Thomas Massie deserves another public roasting. “Massie is the worst. What happened to him, by the way? What a loser.” Trump managed to turn a political attack into a school cafeteria execution. 💀 Writer: Oliver t.co/ekw9IwlRXl

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Daily News Recap Iran was silent during the 12-Day War. Now they're explicitly denying any deal, and that silence is gone. Brandon Weichert says Israel is ready to strike Iranian electrical and water infrastructure the moment Trump tries to walk away. "The Iranians might smile and say, okay, buddy, you did that. Now we're going to go ham." And those tankers sitting on identifiable runways in Qatar better be airborne before the first shot is fired. @WeTheBrandon

🇺🇸 Trump: “This guy is a jihadist. Mohammed El-Sayed. He said, 'my name is not Mohammed.'” Trump's response? “I'm the President of the United States. I can call you whatever the hell I want.” Trump invoked the Constitution of Trump. Writer: Oliver t.co/JmYhajfzyq

🇫🇷 A cop took a cobblestone square in the face and STAGGERED, even with the helmet on Another officer is right there and steadies him before he falls. That's why it's called "unrest"; nobody is resting... Writer: Lucas t.co/UNuhMhuO96

🇺🇸 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

🇫🇷 Why the hell would you bring YOUR KID to that protest? Writer: Lucas t.co/lk2kvuLUeR

🇺🇸 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. Writer: Daniyal t.co/9hfjhqvtJP

🇮🇷 🇺🇸 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.
