President Donald Trump criticized Tehran and warned of harsher consequences if Iran retaliates, while Iran reported casualties from a wedding attack linked to the strikes.

UN warns world likely to overshoot 1.5°C, sees possible path back — 14hA group of UN-led assessments warn that the 1.5°C limit is increasingly likely to be breached in coming years, but still callable back down through a sustained overshoot-and-reduction pathway that combines rapid emission cuts with large-scale carbon removal. The consensus remains that while overshoot is not inevitable catastrophe, it will entail decades of heightened climate risks and requires urgent, bolder action across mitigation, adaptation, and governance to keep temperatures from rising further.

Tom Gallagher Betting on carbon removal tech that doesn't exist at scale yet feels like a plan built on hope, not engineering.

China warns over Taiwan's role as leaders skip Pacific Islands Forum — 1d

Dana Whitfield China's anger says more about their own regional ambitions than any real slight. The forum should focus on what Pacific nations actually need.

Warsh warns on inflation as traders debate what's driving rate surge — 2d

Chris Dalton Feels like nobody agrees on why rates are surging, which honestly is scarier than the surge itself.

Fed's Barr warns rate hike possible if inflation stalls — 1dFed Governor Michael Barr signaled a September rate hike remains on the table if inflation fails to cool toward the 2% target, but he could opt for more time if data show progress. With inflation stuck above target for years, Barr warned that persistent price pressures could force decisive action while a convincing moderation would allow a cautious stance.

Marcus Bell Feels like they've been saying "maybe next meeting" for two years now, just pick a lane already.

Dutch health institute warns Trump-shaped ecstasy pills contain dangerous PMMA — 2dThe Trimbos Institute in the Netherlands issued a Red Alert warning over Trump-shaped ecstasy pills containing high levels of PMMA, a drug risk that can cause overheating, seizures, and potentially fatal outcomes, while urging people not to take them and to have drugs tested. The pills, appearing in multiple colors with Trump’s image and NL/Trump markings, were detected by the Drugs Information and Monitoring System across the country, with no deaths reported at the time of the warning.

Tom Gallagher PMMA takes way longer to hit than MDMA, so people redose thinking it's weak and that's when it turns deadly.

Trump calls Iran conflict 'a little war' despite warnings of weapon shortages — 2dDonald Trump has framed the Iran conflict as a “relatively little war” for the United States while accusing his predecessor of giving Ukraine about $300 billion in weapons for free, claiming Ukraine would have to pay through European NATO members. Reports also warn that the US missile stockpiles are being drawn down as authorities consider further strikes on Iran, feeding concerns about the ability to respond to threats from China and Russia.

Sam Okafor Funny how Ukraine's aid needs a repayment plan but this "little war" doesn't get the same scrutiny on cost.

The disclosures drew bipartisan scrutiny from Sen. Blumenthal and legal challenges, even as the White House defends the plan and a federal judge weighs the rollout.

Maya Lindstrom Rushing a brand new ballot portal right before a midterm is asking for chaos. Slow down and get outside auditors on this before it goes live.
