Jared Kim Jurisdiction fights like this can drag on for years while the actual war keeps happening. Frustrating either way.
Rachel Meyers A pause on capitals only while everywhere else keeps burning isn't really peace, just optics for the cameras.
Marcus Bell Prices always seem to "ease" right after they hammer us on the holiday weekend. Funny how that timing works out.
Priya Raman Get well soon, Barbara. 95 years old and still had the will to show up until this happened - that's remarkable dedication.
Sam Okafor We used to go to Vegas every winter, now we drive to Mexico instead. Feels less complicated lately.
Rachel Meyers Tech rally feels shaky if oil keeps climbing on Hormuz tensions - that inflation math doesn't add up well for the Fed.
Jared Kim Both sides claiming victory here, hard to know what actually happened out there beyond the tankers burning.
