🇺🇸🇮🇷 The next Iran war could send oil to $150 The world survived the first energy shock by burning through inventories while China slashed imports. That cushion is largely gone. El-Erian warns that another disruption to Hormuz and the Red Sea could push oil toward $150, just as borrowing costs remain painfully high. And the scary part? Nobody knows what breaks first. In 2022, Britain's pension system nearly collapsed. Almost nobody saw it coming. This time, an energy crisis could become a financial crisis before anyone realizes where the weak spot is. @elerianm

🇵🇸 A mother in Gaza lost all 7 children in one strike. “I miss the word Mom. No one calls me Mom anymore.” She had 2 sons and 5 daughters. The oldest was 20, the youngest just 3. She was at the market when an Israeli strike hit the school shelter where her family was staying. And somehow, she calls herself lucky. Lucky because she found their bodies and got to bury them. She misses their voices, their shouting, their little faces. And the one word she'll never hear from them again. “Mom.” 💔 How much more can Gaza lose before the world finally says enough?

🇫🇷🇺🇸 Trump just reposted Kevin Sorbo’s line about the French riots: “Not a single mosque has been damaged… Must be a miracle.” The political message is not exactly hiding behind the curtains. France’s riots have now made it all the way onto the U.S. president’s meme feed. Writer: Oliver

🚨🇧🇷 BREAKING: Bolsonaro REFUSES to accept Lula’s VICTORY He says “there’s A LOT TO BE CLARIFIED” before Brazil recognizes what he called “this BULLSHIT that happened in the elections,” then told supporters: “I will not give up on my Brazil.” Brazil’s electoral authorities have already declared Lula the winner after the full count. So the election is over. The argument over whether Bolsonaro accepts that reality clearly is not. Writer: Oliver t.co/duXGkaVnqb

🇧🇷 Flávio Bolsonaro watching the results come in with his family and team No drama, he just sat there and took it with the people who’ve had his back the whole way. Close race, and he’ll be back. Writer: Daniyal t.co/1nQE5hxYCh

🇧🇷 Lula WINS BRAZIL. Bolsonaro's camp is STUNNED. I genuinely thought Flávio Bolsonaro was going to win this election. Instead, Lula has secured another term with roughly 51.7% of the vote. I spoke with Brazilian politician Luiz Philippe de Orléans e Bragança and financial analyst David as the results came in. Neither could hide their disbelief. Both raised concerns about Brazil's electronic voting system, although neither presented evidence that the election was rigged. David warned that investors could flee, while Luiz Philippe fears Lula will use another four years to tighten his grip on Brazil's institutions. For me, the disappointment goes beyond the election. I've watched the Bolsonaro family face prosecution, political restrictions and an extraordinary battle over free speech. I wanted to see that chapter end. Instead, Brazil has chosen 4 more years of Lula. @WeTheBrandon @lpbragancabr @jdw100

🇺🇸 A flight attendant may have stopped a POTENTIAL HIJACKING because they noticed one passenger’s text message. On a Las Vegas-to-Newark flight, a crew member reportedly saw a passenger WRITING that he INTENDED to hijack the aircraft. What do you guys think?

🇮🇱🇵🇸 An American-Israeli settler just casually told a Guardian reporter that Palestinians should leave Gaza or be killed. She wants Israel to take Gaza, build settlements, and kick Palestinians out. “I don't think this war is ever going to end unless we kick out the Arabs from there. It's our land.” And her brilliant justification? “We should take it because God commanded us to take it.” When asked where Palestinians should go, she said any Arab country would do, except Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria, because apparently she thinks those belong to Israel too. And then, without a shred of shame: “Or we'll kill them.” Imagine being so comfortable with ethnic cleansing that you openly threaten to kill people on camera, then dress it all up as God's will. The sheer fucking arrogance of thinking you can steal someone's home, threaten their life, and call yourself the rightful owner. Source: Abu Dhabi News ( instagram) / Writer: Daniyal

🇧🇷 Petrobras, Brazil's state-controlled OIL GIANT, is getting HAMMERED after the victory of LEFT-WING president Lula da Silva Its U.S.-listed shares dropped roughly 12% in after-hours trading as investors repriced the risk of more state intervention, higher spending and weaker capital discipline under another Lula term. That is the market’s first verdict on the election. That money's leaving very quickly. Writer: Oliver

🇷🇸 It's well past midnight in SERBIA, and students are still CELEBRATING their election VICTORY over Vučić After months of political confrontation, they're taking the celebrations deep into the night. For a generation that has spent so much time protesting in the streets, tonight those same streets are hosting a VERY different kind of gathering. Writer: Oliver t.co/IS4eZ4iXpu

🇷🇸 Serbia’s FAST! People have started TEARING DOWN Vučić billboards after the student-backed opposition’s historic victory, while crowds continue celebrating across Belgrade. Vučić has already conceded defeat after more than a decade dominating Serbian politics. That is the kind of image elections rarely give you: not just a government losing power, but its face literally coming off the walls. Writer: Oliver t.co/U7gCJifEOj

🇷🇸 One of the strangest images of SERBIA'S ELECTION NIGHT came after Vučić conceded Riot police who had been stationed around key government buildings began pulling out of central Belgrade as crowds celebrated the student-led opposition victory. Police trucks LEAVING while people cheered and waved them off. GOOSEBUMPS! For months, those streets had looked like a government preparing for confrontation. Then the result landed, and the barricades started disappearing. Writer: Oliver t.co/awLs9r6tX9

🇺🇸🇱🇾 Trump is trying to cool a diplomatic spat with Libya without backing off the migration issue. After Tripoli summoned the U.S. chargé d’affaires over remarks calling Libya “terror-infested,” Trump praised Libyans as “proud, resilient” and said Washington supports national elections and stronger institutions. “Libya cannot remain a corridor for illegal migration, and this must end now.” So the tone softened. The demand didn’t. Writer: Oliver

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump may be preparing for another two weeks of war with Iran. Brandon Weichert spoke with retired Marine Colonel Mark Cancian after footage emerged of an American aircraft carrier taking on 2,000-pound bunker-buster bombs. Cancian believes the preparations are unmistakable. He puts the chances of another US air campaign at roughly 2 in 3. And he thinks Trump may go bigger this time. The targets could extend beyond missile sites and nuclear facilities to Iran's power grid, oil infrastructure and possibly Kharg Island. Cancian even expects Trump could use the enormous 30,000-pound MOAB, partly for its psychological impact. But there's a problem. Every missile and bomb spent on Iran is one America won't have available if a crisis erupts with China. Washington may have enough firepower for another Iran campaign. Cancian's concern is what that leaves for the next war. @WeTheBrandon

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱 Trump is personally campaigning for Netanyahu in Israel's election, and he's making the war with Iran his biggest selling point. In a message addressed directly to Israeli voters, Trump credits himself and Netanyahu with devastating Iran's military, destroying its leadership and crippling its economy. He calls Netanyahu an “outstanding Warrior Prime Minister” and urges Israelis to remember their military victories when they vote. Then comes the line that says it all: “We have to finish the job that we started!” Writer: Oliver

🇧🇷 Lula is celebrating after winning Brazil’s presidential runoff. After one of the tightest counts imaginable, the room now looks like it believes the numbers. 4 non-consecutive terms. That is a political comeback story with almost no modern parallel. Writer: Oliver t.co/0S2eQZNxZW

🇺🇸🇮🇷 The next Iran war could start before anyone officially declares it. Brandon spoke with former CIA analyst Larry Johnson as reports emerged of explosions near Iranian missile positions. Nobody had established who was responsible, but Johnson warned that the military activity, diplomatic maneuvering and Netanyahu's reported clash with his own army chief could be signs of a much bigger escalation. He believes Israeli military leaders are trying to stop Netanyahu from creating a crisis that could delay the elections. Then the conversation turned to America's troops. Johnson described a heartbreaking account of a young National Guardsman who reportedly took his own life after receiving orders to deploy again. He's also concerned about wounded troops, inadequate support and the toll of repeated deployments. The politicians are debating another round of strikes. The people expected to fight it are still living with the last one. @WeTheBrandon @NewSonof

🇧🇷 Tensions are boiling over in São Paulo as Lula supporters flood Avenida Paulista during Brazil's presidential election count.

🇧🇷 LULA has WON BRAZIL'S PRESIDENTIAL RUNOFF, securing an unprecedented 4th non-consecutive term. He entered national politics through the metalworkers’ movement under Brazil’s military dictatorship, was jailed during that struggle, and nearly five decades later is still standing at the center of Brazilian politics. Whatever people make of Lula, very few political careers on earth have had this kind of arc. Writer: Oliver t.co/PmFLivmhNr
