🇫🇷 Take a look at what the riots have left behind in France. Cars burned, shops looted, tear gas everywhere, and streets left in a complete mess. We've seen this before with the Yellow Vest protests and the riots in 2023. And now it's happening all over again. Setting fires and wrecking shops won't make anything cheaper. Ordinary people are the ones left paying for all the damage. Same anger, same destruction, and another huge mess to clean up. Writer: Daniyal t.co/TPh5Wd30l9

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Oil is already costing around $140 a barrel in the physical market, and the worst of the price shock may still be ahead. Brandon Weichert spoke with Johns Hopkins economist Steve Hanke about the growing economic damage from the war with Iran. And Hanke explained why the $110 Brent crude price doesn't tell the whole story. He estimates that physical oil is trading closer to $140, with roughly $30 of the difference coming from tanker shortages, longer shipping routes and the difficulty of getting oil to refineries. That's on top of the price increase caused by disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. But his bigger warning concerns what happens next. Countries have been cushioning the shock by drawing down fuel inventories. Eventually, those stocks need replenishing, potentially at much higher prices. Hanke expects diesel prices to remain elevated through at least mid-2027, even without further escalation. And the consequences extend far beyond fuel. Gulf shipping disruptions also threaten supplies of sulfur used in fertilizer production and metal processing, adding pressure to agriculture and manufacturing. Meanwhile, Hanke believes the economic fallout could severely damage Republicans in the upcoming midterms as voters connect rising living costs to the war. The real danger goes beyond $140 oil. We're talking about an energy shock that keeps spreading through the economy long after the initial disruption. And Hanke sees little reason to expect relief anytime soon. @steve_hanke

🇺🇸 TOM HOMAN says ILHAN OMAR could LOSE HER AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP and be DEPORTED He also claims investigators have a strong case. Federal agents have already searched her home, seized her phone and examined family communications. Now Trump's border czar says he has been told the evidence is serious. “I’ve been told they have a strong case.” At the center of it all is a question about Omar's age 26 years ago. Investigators are reportedly examining whether she was actually 18, rather than 17, when she obtained citizenship through her father in 2000. That one-year difference could have enormous legal consequences. Omar denies wrongdoing and calls the investigation political persecution. Source: NY Post / Writer: Oliver

🇫🇷 Imagine opening your own barbershop in July, only to have rioters DESTROY it three months later. A devastated barber in France shows what's left of his business after the riots: shattered glass everywhere, equipment stolen, shampoos gone, and even the cash register emptied. “We don't deserve this. We work honestly. There are only two of us here.” He says they sacrificed so much to open the shop, and now he doesn't even know how they'll recover. These are ordinary people trying to make an honest living, and they're watching everything they worked for get TRASHED. WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?! Writer: Sol t.co/z9FJFhtwM8

THESE NEURALINK STORIES ARE INCREDIBLE 💪 Alex Conley is paralyzed in all 4 limbs. Now he's using his mind to control a robotic arm. Jon L. Noble, a military veteran living with paralysis, is back playing World of Warcraft. No mouse. No keyboard. Just with his thoughts. Other patients are playing games with friends, operating computers and learning to control machines without moving a muscle. And I think it's easy to get caught up in the technology and forget what this ACTUALLY MEANS for the people involved. Imagine spending years unable to use your hands, and suddenly being able to INTERACT with the world around you AGAIN 💘 Or simply being able to play a game with your friends without needing someone else's help. These might sound like small things until you realize how much INDEPENDENCE means when you've lost it. The CRAZY part is that Neuralink is still in its early clinical trials. For these patients, the technology is already changing what they can do with their lives 🔥 Writer: Oliver t.co/nVXtj8EIzY

🇮🇹 MILAN IS BEING TORN APART FOR THE SECOND DAY STRAIGHT The looters are back for more. The city's facing another night of destruction as groups of young rioters smash storefronts and clash with police.

🇺🇸 Trump's pause on retaliation didn't cool tensions. It handed Iran a green light. Counter-terrorism analyst Malcolm Nance breaks down how Tehran read American restraint as an invitation to escalate, targeting commercial shipping with drones, anti-ship missiles, and what may be staged mine footage. "They said the Americans aren't striking back, but we're seeing a lot of ship traffic down there. So let's just start hosing these ships." The Strait of Hormuz isn't a standoff anymore. It's a laboratory. @MalcolmNance

🇸🇦🇾🇪 Saudi Arabia could lose its monarchy, and the war in Yemen may be accelerating its collapse. I spoke with former CIA analyst Larry Johnson about the expanding war in Yemen and what it could mean for the Middle East over the next year. His forecast was extraordinary. Johnson believes the Houthis are gaining ground while Saudi Arabia struggles to contain their increasingly sophisticated missile attacks. Now Egypt is considering military assistance, and UAE-backed Yemeni forces are reportedly joining the fight alongside Saudi-backed factions. But Johnson doubts more troops would solve the problem. He argues that moving thousands of Egyptian soldiers into Yemen would create an enormous logistical challenge, with supply convoys exposed to Houthi drones and ballistic missiles. And his warning goes much further. Johnson predicts that the Saudi monarchy could fall, the Gulf states could fracture politically, and American influence across the region could decline sharply. He also believes Washington is running out of attractive military options against Iran, with limited naval availability, strained missile supplies and increasingly vulnerable regional bases. I challenged him on whether American military innovation could still change the balance. Johnson's response was that cheap drones and precision missiles have fundamentally changed warfare, while the U.S. remains organized around expensive, concentrated military power. And then there's the economic fallout. Johnson argues that disrupting Gulf oil exports doesn't protect the petrodollar. It weakens the very system Washington is trying to defend. His central argument is that America may be spending enormous sums fighting to preserve a regional order that the war itself is helping dismantle. @NewSonof

🇮🇱 Daily News Recap One number changes everything: 70 to 80% of Gaza destroyed is being celebrated as the mission, not the elimination of Hamas. Geopolitics Expert Brandon Weichert warns this same logic now has the West Bank in its crosshairs, and Egypt watching nervously as its Sinai flank becomes exposed. "If we divert a large chunk of our military to an expeditionary war that the last time we engaged in became our Vietnam, and it just sucked our military dry of resources and capabilities, what's going to stop the Israelis from pushing into the Sinai?" Cairo should be asking that question loudly. It isn't. @WeTheBrandon

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Iran has found a way to keep the Strait of Hormuz dangerous, even with the U.S. Navy protecting shipping. I spoke with former U.S. intelligence officer Malcolm Nance about the renewed attacks on commercial vessels near the Strait of Hormuz. And his explanation was fascinating. According to Nance, the US military had developed a relatively effective shipping corridor along the southern side of the strait, using helicopters, patrol aircraft and naval air defenses to protect vessels moving toward the UAE. For a while, it appeared to be working. But Nance believes Iran was watching the traffic increase and waiting for Washington to become less willing to retaliate. Now, drones and anti-ship missiles are reportedly hitting vessels again, threatening the shipping route that Gulf exporters depend on. And that creates a serious problem for Trump. The U.S. can spend enormous resources escorting tankers, intercepting missiles and maintaining patrols. Iran only needs enough successful attacks to make commercial shipping dangerous and expensive. We also discussed the expanding war in Yemen, where Saudi Arabia and the Houthis are drawing more regional players into the conflict. Egyptian military assistance is being discussed, while UAE-backed Yemeni forces are reportedly coordinating more closely with Saudi-backed factions. The U.S. Navy may be able to get ships through Hormuz. But keeping the route commercially viable while Iran continues attacking it is an entirely different challenge. And Nance's assessment suggests Washington hasn't solved that problem yet. @MalcolmNance
