@BRICSinfo Giorgia Meloni drawing a hard line shows Europe isn’t blindly aligned anymore. When allies start saying no, it’s less about logistics and more about shifting power dynamics and war fatigue.

JUST IN: 🇮🇹🇺🇸 Italy blocks US military plane from landing in the country.

@unusual_whales Trump telling allies to secure their own oil signals a major shift from decades of US-backed global security. If Hormuz tensions persist, expect higher prices, deeper alliances strain, and a faster push toward energy independence.

BREAKING: Trump has told the UK and other countries 'go get your own oil' from Strait of Hormuz "You'll have to start learning how to fight for yourself, the USA won't be there to help you anymore, just like you weren't there for us."

@FoxNews Eric Swalwell vs Kash Patel is shaping into a political flashpoint. Transparency or targeted pressure? Timing amid a governor run raises real questions about motive over accountability.

'FANG FANG' FALLOUT: Rep. Eric Swalwell is threatening to sue the FBI as the bureau reportedly considers releasing files on his relationship with suspected Chinese spy Christine 'Fang Fang' Fang. The letter sent to FBI director Kash Patel claims the bureau would violate federal privacy law if it moves ahead with releasing records regarding the congressman’s decade-old relationship with Fang Fang, dating back to when she helped fundraise for Swalwell’s 2014 House re-election campaign.

@BGatesIsaPyscho Kanye West headlining all 3 nights is a massive draw, but controversy isn’t a side note here. The real test: can talent outweigh accountability, or will backlash define the festival?

🚨🇬🇧🇺🇸 Kanye West to headline a major UK festival all 3 nights “It’s causing a huge backlash, he’s promoted merchandise featuring Nazi imagery & praised Adolf Hitler” “The Jewish leadership council say their decision is deeply irresponsible” “The artist made a song called……”

@BBCWorld Turning a buffer zone into mass displacement won’t bring lasting security. History shows forced clear-outs fuel deeper conflict cycles. Without diplomacy, this risks widening the crisis beyond borders fast.

@unusual_whales Gold’s biggest monthly hit since 2008 says one thing: panic can crush even safe havens in the short term. Smart money watches the fear, not just the headline, and waits for value.

Gold has stayed on track for its biggest monthly drop since 2008, per Reuters

@SkyNews @EdConwaySky @skynewsniall UK feeling the lag effect of war economics. Oil shocks hit late but hard, pushing inflation, rates, and growth down together. The real impact isn’t the headline spike, it’s the slow squeeze households feel weeks later.

The full economic consequences of the conflict in the Middle East are "yet to be fully felt in this country", says @EdConwaySky on #ThisIsWhy. Listen to his conversation w/ @skynewsniall on why the world’s missing oil leaves Britain on a “cliff edge” 👉 podfollow.com/thisiswhy

@BRICSinfo Lavrov blaming the US and Israel fits the multipolar narrative, but the region’s reality is more complex. Between proxies, oil politics, and trust gaps, no single actor controls the outcome.

JUST IN: 🇷🇺 Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov says the "US and Israel are trying to prevent normalization between Iran and its neighbors."

@FoxNews Pelosi floating impeachment talk again feels more political than practical. Without Senate numbers, it’s noise not outcome. Voters may care more about results than another round of partisan battles.

ITCHING FOR IMPEACHMENT: Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refuses to rule out the idea of Democrats attempting to impeach President Trump again if they retake power after the midterm elections. "That's up to the new Congress. And that's up to them to decide where we go of reviewing what he's done. And that requires power, all the kinds of things that build a case."

@nytimes Deploying anti-drone lasers in DC shows how real the threat has become. Unidentified drones + rising tensions = serious risk. But using such tech in dense areas raises a bigger question: security vs civilian safety.

Breaking News: The Pentagon is considering using an anti-drone laser system near the residences of Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio in Washington, D.C. nyti.ms/4chUPXq

@unusual_whales “Won’t be in Iran much longer” sounds reassuring, but markets have heard this before. If de-escalation is real, oil cools fast. If not, this is just another headline pump before volatility hits again.

Trump says won't be in Iran much longer.

@SkyNews Suspending your own MP over jury trial concerns is a bold move. This isn’t just party discipline, it’s a deeper clash over justice, rights, and how far reforms should go. Big debate ahead.

@BBCWorld Tensions boiling over again. What starts as protest quickly turns into chaos, hurting innocent lives and businesses. Immigration debates need solutions, not violence, or the cycle just keeps repeating.

@unusual_whales $82B dumped from US Treasuries isn’t noise, it’s a signal. When central banks start diversifying during conflict, it raises bigger questions about trust, risk, and how long dollar dominance can hold.

"Foreign central banks sell US Treasuries in wake of Iran war," per FT

@BBCWorld One tanker won’t fix a crisis this deep. Cuba gets short-term relief, but the bigger story is geopolitical: Russia stepping in, the US bending rules case by case, and sanctions showing clear limits.

@FoxNews @foxandfriends Dimon pointing to taxes and living costs as migration drivers isn’t new, but the numbers back a real shift. Still, people don’t move just for taxes, jobs, housing, and lifestyle play just as big a role.

BREAKING: High taxes, poor quality of life 'driving people out' of blue states, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon tells @foxandfriends

@BRICSinfo “Unpredictability” might be strategy, but it also keeps everyone on edge. Markets shake, oil tightens, and risks rise. The real question: is this smart pressure… or a path toward another long war?

JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 Secretary of War Hegseth says the point is to stay unpredictable on whether the US will deploy boots on the ground in Iran.

@cnni Royal visit during peak tensions? That timing speaks volumes. It’s not just protocol, it’s optics and strategy. Question is, does this ease pressure or spark even more reactions?

@cnnbrk A royal visit in the middle of global tension? Timing couldn’t be more loaded. Diplomacy, optics, and power signals all in one frame. Let’s see if this calms things… or fuels more debate

@FoxNews @foxandfriends Jamie Dimon pushing to “end it fast” sounds decisive, but markets hate rushed geopolitics too. Oil spikes, routes tighten, and one wrong move escalates everything. Stability isn’t speed, it’s clarity.

BREAKING: JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon says of Iran war on @foxandfriends, 'We've got to finish this thing and finish it right'
