UN-backed experts say there are "reasonable grounds" to believe US forces may have committed war crimes in earlier strikes in the Iran war.

Reports say one of those strikes hit a school, killing many civilians.

This is a preliminary finding, not a court ruling. It opens the door to further investigation; it doesn't decide guilt.

Also, about 200 days into the war: Trump says it's "hopefully toward the end" and claims direct talks with Tehran. Red Sea and Hormuz shipping remain disrupted, and oil is still high.

The USS Abraham Lincoln has docked in Thailand.

For a crew that's been on an extended deployment, a port call is more than a logistics stop. It's mail, real food, solid ground, and a phone call home that isn't rationed.

It's also strategic. Carrier visits are one of the clearest ways the US signals presence and partnership in the Indo-Pacific — and where a carrier sits says a lot about where attention is focused.

Families have been watching this deployment closely. This is a good day for them. ⚓

Central bank raises rates 0.25% to ~3.75–4.00%, its first hike in about 3 years, citing inflation.

The leader calls it political and demands 1%. Stocks rebound.

About $38 billion. That's what this war has cost so far roughly $110 for every American.

And Congress is pushing back. Lawmakers have voted multiple times to rein in war powers, and one legislator has filed formal articles to impeach a senior defense official over the conflict.

Worth being precise: filing articles isn't the same as impeachment. It's a formal step that starts a process, and most filings go nowhere.

But repeated war powers votes signal something real a chunk of Congress wants its authority back.

More than 100,000 people have been displaced.

That's the number getting the least attention in this conflict, and it's the one that matters most. Cross-border fighting has intensified, and civilians are the ones moving.

The rest of the picture: pipeline disruptions continue, shipping through a key strait remains heavily disrupted, and munitions strain is mounting on both sides as costs climb.

Energy headlines move markets. Displacement numbers move lives.

Both are part of the same story, and one of them tends to get covered far less. 🕯️

If you're voting by mail this November, nothing changes.

The Supreme Court rejected the Trump administration's attempt to impose new Postal Service restrictions on mail-in ballots ahead of the midterms. Multiple federal judges had already blocked the measures before it reached the Court.

Voting-rights groups welcomed the ruling, saying new rules mid-election would have caused confusion for people who have already mailed ballots.

Bottom line: mail voting proceeds under existing rules.

Check your state's deadline — those vary a lot, and that's the detail that actually trips people up. 🗳️

About 4% of the world's oil supply just went offline, and it could stay that way for weeks.

Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline carries up to 4 million barrels a day. Its entire purpose is to move crude across land so it can skip the Strait of Hormuz when the strait gets dangerous. It's the bypass.

It's largely down after reported drone strikes, which Saudi Arabia attributed to Iranian-backed groups.

Oil prices rose immediately. Repairs could take weeks, not days.

Twenty-five years.

The 9/11 Memorial Museum marks a quarter century since the attacks, standing on the ground where the towers fell.

Two reflecting pools trace the footprints of the North and South Towers. Around them, 2,977 names are carved in bronze every person lost that day, plus the six killed in the 1993 bombing.

Every year, those names are read aloud. It takes hours.

A generation has now grown up hearing about that morning rather than remembering it. That's exactly why the museum exists.

Diesel just hit a record near $6 a gallon. Here's why that matters more than gas prices.

Almost everything you buy rides on a diesel truck at some point. Groceries, furniture, medicine, building materials. When diesel spikes, that cost gets built into the price of the goods themselves.

Brent crude is sitting near $108, driven by Middle East supply risks a pipeline shutdown, Strait of Hormuz problems, and armed group advances.

Markets are watching for another spike. Your receipt will feel it later.

The backup route for the world's oil just went offline.

Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline exists so oil can skip the Strait of Hormuz when the strait gets dangerous. It shut down after reported drone strikes.

At the same time, Iran–Gulf talks on Hormuz shipping were postponed, armed groups expanded control over Red Sea islands and coastline, a Saudi base was struck, and Yemen's government banned Iranian goods.

Two chokepoints under pressure, and the workaround is down. That's why oil supply fears are climbing.
