It's a healthcare economy, and the rest of us are just living in it.
Line chart titled "Effectively all of the net job creation has been in healthcare and social assistance, and jobs are shrinking in the rest of the economy" shows change in employment since January 2025. Healthcare and social assistance has added 952,000 jobs through July 2026 with consistent monthly growth, while the rest of the economy has lost 362,000 jobs over the same period, meaning all net job creation has come from a single sector in an unusually unbalanced labor market.

- 99% of positions were bought with market orders
- Combined size: $160K
- Payout if a ceasefire hits by EOM: +$1.04M
2 of these exact wallets previously bet YES on the US striking Iran before Feb 28 and cashed out $135k

Putin offers to stop sharing intel with Iran if US cuts off Ukraine
Hans von der Burchard, Felicia Schwartz, Diana Nerozzi, Jacopo Barigazzi
(Politico EU)
Moscow proposed a quid pro quo to the U.S. under which the Kremlin would stop sharing intelligence information with Iran, such as the precise coordinates of U.S. military assets in the Middle East, if Washington ceased supplying Ukraine with intel about Russia.
Two people familiar with the U.S.-Russia negotiations said that such a proposal was made by Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev to Trump administration envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner during their meeting last week in Miami.
The U.S. rejected the proposal, the people added. They, like all other officials cited in this article, were granted anonymity due to the sensitivity of the discussions.
Nevertheless, the sheer existence of such a proposal has sparked concern among European diplomats, who worry Moscow is trying to drive a wedge between Europe and the U.S. at a critical moment for transatlantic relations.
U.S. President Donald Trump has voiced anger over the refusal of allies to send warships in the Strait of Hormuz. On Friday, he lambasted his NATO allies as “COWARDS“ and said: “we will REMEMBER!”
