This where I come to scream into the void. One of many low lifes, according to Epstein’s wingman. And yet, oddly, not getting paid for it.

We don’t spend enough time talking about just how WEIRD all these people are. This is just an incredibly weird and insecure thing to say. Imagine any other SecDef ever being this weird and insecure?!

When Donald heard, “…anoint you with fresh anointing oil,” he probably thought the guy was praying for lower gas prices.

What's fun about this whole contretemps and why it's worth watching again is how smirky Schmitt starts out - this is going to be his big moment – and how honest a puzzled Smith comes off, and how sharp Klobuchar was to quickly figure out the basic mistake. And then how pissy Schmitt gets at her.

The bond yield story just keeps getting starker.
Line chart titled "10-Year Treasury Note" showing the yield on the 10-year Treasury note from late 2025 through September 2026. Treasury yields surged dramatically to 5.29 percent on September 29, 2026, the highest level in the period shown. This represents a sharp 130 basis point increase from the October 2025 low of 3.96 percent and a particularly rapid 45 basis point climb over just the final month. After trading mostly between 4.00 and 4.75 percent for nearly a year, yields broke decisively above 5.00 percent in September 2026, signaling a fundamental shift in borrowing costs and market conditions.

In a normal administration counterintelligence agents at the FBI would be investigating this photo. In this administration, the FBI director is in the photo.
Michael Weiss: Why, that’s Ali Abdelaziz is on the far left. Manages a lot of Russian, Belarusian and Chechen MMA fighters including Khamzat Chimaev, who is close to Kadyrov. Abdelaziz was an FBI informant until the Bureau dropped him because they suspected he was a double agent. Looks like Ka$h (far right) has forgiven and forgotten. These MAGA weddings are Mos Eisley cantinas for counterintelligence.

A ban on exporting ribeye makes it less profitable to raise cattle, reducing the supply of both ribeye and brisket. Brisket prices rise. Fuel is also jointly produced: Diesel is ribeye, gas is brisket, and now you can predict where gas prices might go. youtu.be/UwsPWUbGUVs

Would a diesel export ban actually lower fuel prices? The White House is floating a temporary ban on U.S. diesel exports, and the pitch sounds simple: keep the diesel here, and prices fall for…

After recapping another busy week of summer #SCOTUS news, today's "One First" walks through why President Trump's categorical exclusion of CNN, MS NOW, and Politico is such an open-and-shut First (and Fifth) Amendment violation — even under the logic of the D.C. Circuit's stay ruling in the AP case:
stevevladeck.com
251. Newsgathering, the First Amendment, and the White House
President Trump’s viewpoint-based exclusion of three outlets from the White House is clearly on the wrong side of the Supreme Court's First Amendment doctrine.
