Noel knows... ..."Trump’s reign was always gonna end in violence as part of its tawdry reality show formula because he himself is such a connoisseur, and all of the actions of his administration are aimed at pleasing POTUS first and foremost."

Chris Murphy: "Donald Trump was so fundamentally unprepared for this war that within days of the war starting, our billion dollar air bases and naval bases in the region were obliterated by the Iranians. Every single American should be furious about that."

IMPORTANT ‼️ RUSSIA IS BOMBING KHARKIV'S TERMINAL POWER PLANT 5 RIGHT NOW ‼️ There was several missile strikes already during the last 15 minutes. Trump’s ceasefire didn't work.

Ukrainian local media report that Kharkiv’s CHP-5 power plant was just struck, reportedly by several Banderol mini cruise missiles. Further details are not yet available but this is how the 'energy truce' looks like. #Ukraine

Just read it. Bessent wrote Warren a letter

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY
WASHINGTON, D.C.
October 9, 2026
The Honorable Elizabeth Warren
United States Senate
Washington, DC 20510
Dear Senator Warren:
Thave received your October 7 letter, which adds to the mounting body of evidence of your complete paucity of knowledge about financial markets. Rather than take my suggestion of studying introductory economics, you have continued your letter-writing crusade and participation in tabloid fodder about the Treasury Department.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to treat your concerns as sincere. As the federal funds rate climbed from near zero to its highest level in 22 years, with inflation hitting a 40-year high, you were a cheerleader for the Biden Administration's reckless spending. You blamed the economic consequences on the Federal Reserve, rather than your own irresponsible fiscal policies. Your view of the economy depends on who occupies the White House, but your woeful understanding of the issues is consistent.
The "interventions" you describe as "unprecedented" have been underway since May 2024. The buyback program has been well received by market participants in bolstering Treasury liquidity, which reduces market volatility, increases the convenience yield of Treasury securities and ensures the best value for the taxpayer. The continued enhancements optimize Treasury market liquidity in primary and secondary markets. The U.S. Treasury market's liquidity and performance versus global peers is evidence.
While you voted for a $5 trillion tax hike on everyday Americans, the Working Families Tax Cuts continue to deliver for families and workers across the country. The average refund this filing season was over $3,400, an increase of 11 percent over the previous year. More than 30 million workers claimed No Tax on Overtime, more than 7 million claimed No Tax on Tips, and more than 37 million seniors claimed their enhanced deduction. More than 34 million families claimed the permanently enhanced Child Tax Credit, and …

These results are made possible by the employees of the Department of the Treasury, who are working around the clock for the American people. Unsurprisingly, you have responded by criticizing their dedication and aptitude for the job in a recent interview.' Despite your malign characterization, the Domestic Finance team you alluded to in your interview is fully staffed relative to historical levels. It is ironic that you have voted against every presidential appointee for a position at Treasury, no matter how impressive the qualifications for the role. Given your newfound interest in Department personnel, I challenge you to reverse course and thoughtfully engage with future nominees and support their confirmation.
Finally, my offer of a Foreign Exchange for Dummies tutorial still stands and if you receive a passing grade on the Yale metric, not the Harvard curve, I would be happy to also include a Fixed Income for Dummies.
Sincerely,
Aver Bout
Happy Indigenous Peoples'
Say in advance to you and your family.

Brent crude prices declined during Ukraine’s sustained attacks on Russian oil infrastructure but surged after the US-Israeli war against Iran began on 28 February 2026. Trump is 100% to blame for rising fuel costs worldwide, Ukraine had no impact or was actually lowering costs.

Line chart of Brent crude prices from September 2025 to October 2026. Prices fall from US$68.52 to US$62 while Ukraine strikes Russian refineries, then rise to US$94 and US$112.90 in March 2026 after the strikes on Iran, dip to US$78.09 in July and reach US$102.60 in October.

Oil prices fell during Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries, then surged after US-Israeli attacks on Iran. Trump lied and blamed Ukraine for rising fuel costs, despite US data showing prices soared after Trump's Iran war disrupted the Strait of Hormuz. Yes, Trump lied.

“ABC pulling the story only made it a bigger story. Certainly not what Don Jr. or the WH were going for. And ABC doesn’t look great, either. All of which underscores the need for news that is neither owned nor leveraged by this White House— a commodity vanishingly rare in today’s media environment.”

ABC News Hands Massive Gift to Trump Family

ABC pulled a critical story on Don Jr. without explanation. I think it’s clear why.
