Men demanded a cemetery groundskeeper’s ID to “prove” citizenship. www.PAXIS.app says you have the right to work and be free from harassment. If you respond: “I’m here doing my job.” You do not owe strangers your status or papers. Keep PAXIS running: www.gofundme.com/f/PAXIS

April 8 (Reuters) - Investors placed an approximately $950 million bet on oil prices falling just hours before the U.S. and Iran announced a ceasefire, the latest large wager on the direction of the world's most traded commodity ahead of a major policy announcement by Trump.

Taking large positions on oil prices rising or falling is not unusual as traders use them to hedge large volumes of physical oil trade. But such deals are very rarely done in big lots. Large orders also are seldom executed after settlement.

In 2025, more power was generated worldwide from renewable energy than from coal, and 91% of new renewables are now cheaper than fossil fuels. Each year nuclear adds only as much net global power capacity as renewables add every two days.

A member of the Abu Dhabi royal family secretly invested $500 million into the Trump family’s crypto company, gaining a major ownership stake. Months after inking the deal, the U.S. gave the UAE access to 500,000 advanced AI chips per year. The corruption is breathtaking.

In October, ICE grabbed Maher Tarabishi. He was a 24/7 caregiver for his disabled son Wael. At the time of Maher’s detention, disability advocates warned that taking away Wael’s caregiver put his life at risk. Wael died on Friday at age 30. ICE caused his death. They didn’t get to say goodbye.

It had been months since Wael Tarabishi seen his father. The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.
