The President does know that there is a correlation between gas prices and oil. It's been very clear in everything the President has said, and he said this publicly, he thought this was going to be over by now. I don't know why he thought that, and I don't know why there wasn't some kind of a contingency for what we're seeing now.
We recently acquired information that as of early February 2026, Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United States Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the US conducted strikes against Iran.
Unconditional surrender means foreign troops get to rape your wife and daughter if they want. And everyone knows that. It would require weapons of mass destruction. It would require, presumably, nuclear weapons. And let's not lie to ourselves, we're moving toward that.
The biggest question is: What kind of business partner does the government want to be? They need the AI companies. The government's a superpower but here it's trying to jam a lot of policy. This reflects tension between government dependence on private AI firms and its desire to impose regulatory requirements through procurement mechanisms rather than traditional legislative channels.
Close-to-final turnout numbers in Texas show the Democratic Senate primary had the highest number of people voting in it than for any other primary for statewide office in Texas' history. More than 2.3 million votes were cast in the primary in which state Rep. James Talarico defeated U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett.
It's clear that this is a massive national push by Uber and also industries associated with app-hire vehicles, and that's where by far the bulk of the money is coming from. The cascade of cash coincides with a near-daily onslaught of sponsored content in news outlets across the state, and video ads with professional actors giving testimonials boosting Hochul's efforts.
Despite a Supreme Court ruling that much of Trump's tariff agenda is illegal, the Trump administration refuses to provide relief for families. As American families continue to struggle with high costs, the President keeps choosing to institute new tariffs that will push prices even higher.
The bank had bought a lot of bonds, which got less valuable as the Federal Reserve raised interest rates after keeping them low during the thick of COVID-19. The bank's depositors were predominantly tech companies, who were worried that their money wouldn't be there if they needed to withdraw. So a lot of them rushed to do just that, and there wasn't enough money, and that was the end of Silicon Valley Bank as we once knew it.
The sharp decline witnessed in U.S. equity markets signals an important shift in global market sentiment, after the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost more than 700 points to close below the 47,000 level for the first time in 2026. At the same time, both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite also fell to their lowest levels this year.
The argument is that, a couple of years ago, I worked alongside my colleagues to pass into law something called the Civilian Protection Center. This is something that's at the Department of Defense, at the Pentagon—something that has personnel who are focused on this effort of ensuring protection of civilians, of reducing the risks that we see unfold here.
Prosecutors accused Peters, a staunch Trump supporter who served as the Mesa County Clerk and Recorder, of allowing an unauthorized person later discovered to be affiliated with MyPillow founder and fellow election conspiracy monger Mike Lindell to access and tamper with the county election equipment, breaking into the voting machines under her supervision and copying data that was later leaked online.
If the infrastructure is not taken out and the money is not taken away why should Iran come to the peace table. They are taunting us with $200 oil. They do not have the cards; our military must be unleashed. Time to do what we did to Hanoi—to get them to the table.
Perhaps the most startling thing about the whole situation is that the Trump Administration was apparently surprised by, and unprepared for, Iran's capability to inflict economic pain on the U.S. and its allies. This despite the fact that during a showdown in Trump's first term the regime in Tehran used the same tactics of threatening to block the Strait and of attacking oil infrastructure in neighboring Gulf states that are allied with the U.S.
We recently acquired information that as of early February 2026, Iran allegedly aspired to conduct a surprise attack using unmanned aerial vehicles from an unidentified vessel off the coast of the United State Homeland, specifically against unspecified targets in California, in the event that the US conducted strikes against Iran. We have no additional information on the timing, method, target, or perpetrators of this alleged attack.
There is no doubt that there is a swath of the American public that is a typically younger piece of the puzzle that is very skeptical of the American projection of power abroad. Younger Republicans tend to look more askance at it. They don't remember the Cold War. They don't think as highly of what America could do abroad.
From what I have seen on open-source intelligence, the Israelis had essentially developed a capability to tap existing public CCTV networks in Tehran and then layered on top of that, a bunch of data integration software that enable them to build targeting packages on senior leaders. My sense is that there was a US-sourced piece of humint that was then able to be fed into that model.
Supposedly, Anthropic refused to give the Pentagon unrestricted access to Claude, its frontier AI model, the only one currently running on classified military networks. They wanted guarantees that there would be zero mass surveillance and no autonomous weapons without a human in the loop, making the final decisions of life or death. The Department of War's message was 'remove those restrictions or lose everything.'
