🇺🇸 Trump just flooded his socials with dozens of campaign videos. They range from $5,000 promises and "never give up" pep talks to fighter jets, deportation raids, and MUCH MORE. Most campaigns spread their ads out over months, but Trump dropped a whole season's worth before most of America woke up 😆 Writer: Julie

🇺🇸 The S&P 500 is up 23% since March 30, and just 10 stocks are responsible for 70% of that climb. Nvidia did the heaviest lifting, single-handedly accounting for 13% of the gain after adding roughly $1.2 TRILLION in market value. Micron, Apple and Microsoft chipped in about 9% each, with AMD also among the leaders, per a Nomura analysis by strategist Charlie McElligott. The other 490 companies? They contributed just 30% of the rally. Combined. Nvidia alone now accounts for about 8% of the entire S&P 500, the biggest weighting for a single stock in more than 50 years. Meanwhile, chipmakers have gone from roughly 5% of the index in 2020 to nearly 20% this summer. So anyone buying the S&P for “diversification” is basically holding an AI chip fund with 490 passengers along for the ride. Sources: Nomura, Crypto Briefing / Writer: Julie

3 out of 4 Tesla owners in Norway buy another Tesla. That’s 72.8% retention in one of the most mature EV markets on the planet. Toyota is next at 51.8%. And this is actual purchase behavior from people who already know what owning an EV is like and have plenty of other options. They tried Tesla. Then they bought Tesla again. That says a lot. @Tesla @teslaeurope / Writer: Annette, Designer: Janné

Venezuela officially opened the whole country to Starlink. And Starlink had already shown exactly why that matters. After June’s earthquakes badly damaged terrestrial networks, more than 1,600 kits were deployed and Direct-to-Device helped keep basic messaging alive through satellites. Now the emergency solution gets to stay. For rural areas, outages and disasters, Starlink's got the comms covered. @Starlink @SpaceX / Writer: Annette, Designer: Janné

🇺🇦🇧🇷 A Brazilian volunteer in Ukraine was recording himself while a Russian drone STRUCK the building he was in 💀 The footage is SO WILD. The sirens were already off, and he was in a hotel in Kharkiv with 4 other Brazilian volunteers. The impact damaged the place and left some of them with minor injuries. Luckily, they all made it out.

🇬🇧 A woman who snapped photos of the man minutes before he climbed into a tiger enclosure has now posted a video about it, and nobody can figure out why... Del Taylor says he was dancing with his AirPods in, asked her for pictures with the tiger behind him and thanked her before going in… then she spent the rest of the clip telling everyone to stop speculating online, in a video speculating online. The only people who need to hear her story are the investigators and his family… the rest of us were doing fine without the main character energy😂 Writer: Daniel, Lucas t.co/RJQhD4CA83

🇺🇸🇮🇱 American leaders are DESTROYING the country for the sake of Israel Tucker and Jimmy Dore argue the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East are accelerating an existing decline, while Washington shows little concern for either conflict’s details. When the UK and Europe sanctioned Israeli settlement expansion in the West Bank, the U.S. threatened its own allies instead. They describe a country willing to damage itself and its oldest partners for a government that holds it in contempt. Source: @TCNetwork / Writer: Lucas

🇺🇸 Police and the FBI are excavating the backyard of a Philadelphia home tied to a MISSING WOMEN case. Crews began digging at the Olney house on Chew Avenue after weeks of searching for DNA and other evidence. The property belonged to the late Raymond Horsch and his son Eugene, who is in custody on unrelated drug and weapons charges. Investigators recovered a huge volume of digital files linked to the women, but no human remains so far. The search continues as authorities work to determine what happened to the missing women.

🚨🇺🇸🇬🇱 Trump says massive oil drilling is coming to Greenland as the US turns the island into a missile shield Fresh off a deal giving America a permanent military foothold on the Arctic island, Trump is promising an energy boom too: “Any future attack on the United States will have to come across Greenland, where our Defense will routinely knock down drones, missiles, or any other form of weapon not yet even conceived.” The defense side checks out, since the deal lets the US build bases and scout a Golden Dome missile defense site there. The oil is the harder sell... Greenland’s government controls its own resources and blocked a US company from drilling in August, so expect Washington to lean HARD on Nuuk for permits before anyone pumps a barrel. Writer: Daniel

🇺🇸🇸🇦 The hacked supertanker that lost its engines off Texas was carrying oil for Saudi Aramco's American refinery Bloomberg customs data shows about half the 2 million barrels on the VL Prosperity were bought by Motiva, Aramco's wholly owned Port Arthur refinery and one of the biggest in the country. The tanker loaded at Egypt's Sidi Kerir, routed through Gibraltar because Hormuz is a war zone, and was hit in early August. Coast Guard and FBI cyber teams boarded in the Atlantic on Aug. 21 and spent four days aboard, and investigators determined the hackers reached the propulsion system. Iran's IRGC-tied Mehr News broke the story on Aug. 20, weeks before Washington confirmed anything, describing how the attackers cut engine cooling, raised engine speed and tampered with fuel systems during a 30-hour blackout. Tasnim followed with "No American vessel is safe anymore." Attributing it to "unnamed crew" while publishing the playbook is how Tehran takes credit without signing its name, and US investigators are focused on Iran-linked hackers. A second Texas-bound tanker, the LPG carrier Kohaku, was boarded three days later over a related attack, and nearly 20 ships are now under watch. Two months on, the Houthis are hitting Aramco in Dhahran while Iran shows it can reach Aramco's cargo on the way to Texas. Source: Bloomberg, CBS News / Writer: Daniel

🇺🇸 Tucker and Jimmy Dore say livestreaming the Fort Hood shooter’s firing squad would cross a line America can’t uncross Tucker made clear he’s not defending Nidal Hasan, but says the country has always refused to broadcast executions for one reason: “We imagined that we were above that, that we were civilized.” Trump now says he hasn’t made a final call on the livestream before the December 3 execution, and with Republicans, Democrats and the Vice President all pushing back, the pressure is clearly working.

🚨🇵🇱🇮🇱 Poland’s PM says the previous government’s Pegasus deal with Israel was a crime against the state Donald Tusk says millions were paid for spyware that let NSO Group retain technical access, while data from Polish phones left the country. The system targeted opposition politicians, prosecutors, and others. Tusk says those responsible handed sensitive data on Polish citizens to a foreign company and will be held accountable.

🚨OMG! What is it about those CRAZY cases of mothers KILLING their own family? A 27-year-old woman is charged with killing her husband and 3-year-old son at a hotel in Pennsylvania. She is accused of stabbing them both to death in the room. After doing that, she cut her own wrist and neck, called 911, and told dispatchers she wanted to die and that they were already gone. She faces 2 counts of criminal homicide. The case is still in the early stages and has not gone to trial. Brutal af. Writer: Lucas t.co/wJp15AllX6

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 With its radars bombed out, Iran is using men in wooden boats to spot targets for the IRGC A US military official told Reuters that American forces confronted a dhow last week, ordered everyone off and destroyed it after determining the crew was calling in ship positions, including US warships, to the Revolutionary Guard. Nobody was hurt. That's the new Iranian playbook: unarmed spotters on small boats doing the job the radars did before US strikes wrecked them. The official says Iran won't risk its last fast boats, which is why exports through the strait keep climbing. But the data shows at least 5 ships hit around Hormuz in 48 hours, the fastest pace of the war, and spotters in dhows are cheap, deniable and everywhere. Sinking one is easy. Telling a spotter from a fisherman before he radios a tanker's position is the war the Navy is now in. Source: Reuters / Writer: Daniel Media: CentCom(2024)

🚨🇾🇪🇨🇳 The Houthis are building Iran’s best missile themselves... with parts shipped from CHINA Conflict Armament Research found motor sections, airframe pieces, fins and heat shielding for a Kheibar Shekan class missile hidden in two shipments Yemeni authorities seized last year, with paperwork pointing to a Chinese precision metal firm that advertises custom aerospace parts. The missile flies about 1,200 miles, covering all of Saudi Arabia and Israel, with a warhead that separates and steers around air defenses at 6,000 mph. This fits a pattern... In August the Journal reported Chinese factories supply the turbojet engines in the Shahed drones that wrecked the US Navy base in Bahrain, Chinese firms are the top source of seized Houthi-bound parts, and US officials have suspected Beijing of feeding Iran targeting data. Trump wrote on Truth Social Monday that he doesn’t believe China or Russia are helping Iran. The receipts say China’s factories are arming both ends of this war, and no sanctions list has slowed them down. Source: Wall Street Journal, Conflict Armament Research / Writer: Daniel

🚨🇷🇺🇺🇦Russian ballistic missiles reportedly hit Kyiv's power plant and nobody warned the city, for the second night in a row Ukraine's Air Force says it got no launch data from its "partners" before Tuesday night's strike on the Darnytsia heat and power plant, so radar only picked up the missiles as they were nearly over the capital. Zelensky posted that the plant was hit and that Ukraine was again left blind. The strike lands days after Trump's Russian diesel deal, his call for Ukraine to replace Zelensky, and a Miami meeting where US officials reminded Kyiv it owes Washington for its intelligence help, which some in the room heard as a threat. Ukraine's own foreign minister says the gap came from the weapon Russia used, not a US cutoff, and that intelligence sharing continues. Source: NYT, DD Geopolitics on TG / Writer: Daniel
