ExxonMobil Joliet Refinery Shuts After Power Outage
Business
— 5h
ExxonMobil’s Joliet refinery shut down after a Sunday power outage, with power restored about four hours later and the plant now under assessment while the cause remains under investigation; the facility has a capacity of roughly 264,000 barrels per day and can produce about 11 million gallons of gasoline and diesel daily. Analysts say the disruption tightens an already strained domestic fuel market and could push prices higher if the outage lasts longer.

Analysts say post-9/11 wars unintentionally strengthened Iran
x/donald-john-trump
— 4d
A year-by-year reflection on the enduring impact of 9/11 spans personal trauma, the wars that followed, and ongoing U.S.-Iran tensions as analysts weigh lessons learned and missed opportunities. The discourse ranges from reminiscences of the day’s trauma to debates over Iran’s alleged role in 9/11, and current policy choices that risk evolving into a prolonged, ‘forever war.’

Most DOJ Protest Cases End Without Felony Convictions
x/donald-john-trump
— 2d
The U.S. Justice Department failed to secure felony convictions against the majority of 102 protesters arrested in four major cities last year for assaulting federal authorities, with 12 cases going to trial all ending in acquittals, mistrials, or dismissals. Analysts say rushed investigations and aggressive charging under the Trump era have drawn scrutiny as juries and judges repeatedly rejected the government’s cases, prompting questions about whether such charges should have been pursued at all.

U.S. producer prices rise 0.4% in August matching forecasts
x/price-index
— 4d
August’s PPI increased 0.4% month over month with year‑over‑year readings around 5.4%–5.5%, though revisions to prior months have sparked questions about whether the data meets consensus expectations and how it feeds inflation and policy expectations. Core PPI rose 0.2% (YoY about 4.6%), while analysts and investors weigh the impact of higher energy costs and ongoing geopolitical tensions on inflation and asset valuations.

Higher energy costs keep pushing these prices up, so inflation looks stickier than hoped and rate cuts might wait.

Social Security 2027 COLA Expected Near 3.5%
Finance
— 3d
Analysts project the 2027 Social Security COLA to be about 3.4% to 3.6%, with the official 3.5% announcement expected on Oct. 14 and the largest raise in years likely boosting the average check by around $70. Spousal benefits could push past $1,000 for some households as the COLA, driven by ongoing inflation, may not fully close the gap on rising costs; meanwhile, the strongest possible individual benefits could reach roughly $5,181 a month if timing and earnings conditions align, though most retirees will see smaller amounts.

Saudi Oil Exports Face Disruption Across Region
x/donald-john-trump
— 2d
Diplomatic efforts in the region stalled as Oman postponed Iran-Gulf talks amid drone and missile attacks that disrupted key oil routes, including Saudi Arabia’s east-west pipeline and tension around the Strait of Hormuz, stoking fears of a global oil supply shock. The Houthis’ rapid advances—seizing Bab al-Mandeb and threatening Perim Island and Mocha—have narrowed Saudi options and heightened the risk of wider conflict, with analysts noting limited strategic room for Riyadh and uncertainty over U.S. involvement under Trump.

Brent Holds Above $100 Amid Supply Disruption Fears

Oil prices stayed above $100 a barrel as tensions from the Strait of Hormuz to Iran-US attacks raise fears of persistent supply disruptions, with Brent around $101 and WTI in the mid-$90s. While energy stocks like Exxon and Chevron have rallied on the surge, analysts caution the price move signals constrained supply and a war premium rather than a simple demand story.

Conservative Account Criticizes ABC News for Highlighting Victim’s Race but Omitting Suspect’s in Mississippi Murder Case
The @EndWokeness post quotes an ABC News report on a man pleading not guilty to the murder of a 29-year-old Black woman found hanging from a tree in Mississippi. It questions why the outlet specified the victim’s race while omitting the suspect’s (stating he is Black) and implies selective reporting. It is drawing attention in anti-woke and conservative circles on X amid ongoing debates over media coverage of interracial vs. same-race crime and historical lynching narratives.
