Sam and Chris reflect on the latest World Cup action, including Spain's shock result, a Saudi surprise and the fantasy performances that could shape managers' decisions heading into Matchday Two. They'll also be looking ahead to the next round of fixtures, with all eyes on France as they begin their campaign, plus plenty of big captaincy calls and transfer dilemmas for fantasy managers. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 

Asia remains undefeated at the 2026 FIFA World Cup after Saudi Arabia and Iran both earned draws in their opening fixtures in North America. But the way in which they were achieved, and the context, is vastly different for both. After taking a first-half lead, Saudi Arabia conceded late against Uruguay to settle for a point. Meanwhile, Iran had to come from behind twice against a plucky New Zealand outfit in Los Angeles. We're joined by West Asian football expert Wael Jabir and Arab News reporter Mohammed Fayad to dissect both games.

This Day in Legal History: Loving v. Virginia DecidedOn this day in 1967, the Supreme Court handed down a unanimous opinion in Loving v. Virginia striking down Virginia's Racial Integrity Act of 1924 and, with it, the anti-miscegenation statutes that sixteen states still had on the books. Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote for the Court. The case had come up from a county courthouse in Caroline County, Virginia, where Richard Loving, a white bricklayer, and Mildred Jeter, a Black and Native American woman, had been arrested in their bedroom in the middle of the night in 1958 by a sheriff acting on an anonymous tip — they had been married in the District of Columbia and returned home to Virginia, where their marriage was a felony. The Lovings pleaded guilty, accepted suspended sentences on the condition that they leave the state for twenty-five years, and lived in exile in Washington until Mildred wrote a letter to Attorney General Robert Kennedy that landed eventually with the ACLU, which took the case.The Supreme Court's opinion did two things at once. It held that Virginia's statute violated the Equal Protection Clause because it drew an explicit racial classification with no legitimate state purpose beyond preserving “White Supremacy” — the Court used the phrase the Virginia statute itself had used — and it held that the statute violated the Due Process Clause because the freedom to marry is “one of the vital personal rights essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness by free men.” That second holding, the marriage-as-fundamental-right strand, is the through-line that runs from Loving to Zablocki v. Redhail in 1978, to Turner v. Safley in 1987, to Obergefell v. Hodges in 2015 — every one of those decisions cites Loving and treats it as the foundational case. Whether the Court's substantive due process marriage doctrine survives the next decade is, as we discussed earlier this week, one of the open questions in American constitutional law. But Loving itself remains intact, and on June 12, 1967, the Court said something it had not said cleanly before: that the right to marry is the kind of liberty interest the Constitution actually protects.The Supreme Court on Thursday reversed the Second Circuit in FS Credit Opportunities Corp. v. Saba Capital Master Fund, Ltd., holding 6-3 that the Investment Company Act of 1940 does not give private parties a cause of action to seek rescission of fund bylaws or other contractual terms. Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote the majority. The dispute came out of a campaign by Boaz Weinstein's Saba Capital against eleven closed-end funds — funds that, under Maryland's Control Share Acquisition Act, had adopted bylaws limiting the voting power of any shareholder who accumulated a disproportionate stake without the consent of other shareholders. Saba sued under Section 47(b) of the ICA, which makes contracts that violate the Act unenforceable, and the Second Circuit held that Section 47(b) implied a private right to rescind the bylaws.The Court told the Second Circuit to look harder at the modern implied-cause-of-action doctrine, which since Alexander v. Sandoval in 2001 has been hostile to inferring private rights of action that Congress did not write into the statute. The opinion reads as a continuation of that line: the ICA's enforcement structure is committed to the SEC, not to private plaintiffs, and Section 47(b) is a defense against contracts the SEC has already determined to be unlawful, not an offensive cause of action. The dissent, by Justice Sotomayor, joined by Justices Kagan and Jackson, argued that this is a misreading of Section 47(b)'s text and that the majority is gratuitously narrowing the enforcement of the federal securities laws. The practical impact is significant. Activist investors who had been pushing closed-end funds to convert to open-end form, or to alter investment strategies, lose a federal-court tool they had been using; the funds themselves and their independent directors gain a meaningful structural defense. Expect the next round of activist campaigns to move to state-court fiduciary-duty theories instead.US Supreme Court rules against private suits brought under key securities law | US NewsThe Court on Thursday also decided Keathley v. Buddy Ayers Construction, Inc., vacating the Fifth Circuit 9-0 in an opinion by Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. The case is small in its facts and large in its doctrine. Thomas Keathley filed a Chapter 13 bankruptcy in 2019 and failed to disclose, on his schedule of assets, a personal-injury claim he later brought against a construction company over a truck accident. The Fifth Circuit barred the personal-injury suit on judicial-estoppel grounds — the longstanding equitable doctrine that prevents a party from taking one position in one proceeding and a contradictory position in another — using a three-factor test under which a debtor's mere knowledge of the facts plus a motive to conceal was enough to bar the later claim.The Supreme Court said no.To determine whether the omission was inadvertent or mistaken for judicial-estoppel purposes, the Court held, the lower courts must look to the totality of the circumstances, not just to whether the debtor knew of the facts and had a motive. The doctrinal interest of the case lies in two concurrences. Justice Sotomayor, concurring, wrote that judicial estoppel should likely never apply in an open bankruptcy case at all — the trustee can simply amend the schedule and pursue the claim for the estate, which solves the problem judicial estoppel was invented to address. Justice Thomas, joined by Justice Gorsuch, went further and questioned whether federal courts have any inherent authority to apply judicial estoppel as a freestanding doctrine, period — a position that, if it ever gets five votes, would unwind a doctrine that has been part of American practice since the 1850s. None of that is the holding. But the votes to revisit one of the duller corners of equitable estoppel are now visibly on the table.Keathley v. Buddy Ayers Construction, Inc. | SCOTUSblogThe third unanimous decision of the day was Abouammo v. United States, in which the Court reversed the Ninth Circuit and vacated the obstruction-of-an-FBI-investigation conviction of Ahmad Abouammo, a former Twitter employee whose underlying case was one of the more striking Saudi-Arabia infiltration prosecutions of the last decade. Justice Elena Kagan wrote the opinion. The facts are simple and the constitutional point cleaner than the facts. Abouammo, while working at Twitter's San Francisco office in 2014 and 2015, accessed and passed on confidential user information about Saudi dissidents to a Saudi official, in exchange for a $42,000 watch and $200,000 in wire transfers. The FBI eventually came to interview him at his home in Seattle, where he had moved by 2018, and during those interviews he created and emailed agents a fake invoice intended to make the wire transfers look like a legitimate consulting fee. The Justice Department charged the obstruction count along with foreign-agent and wire-fraud counts in the Northern District of California, and a San Francisco jury convicted him on all of them.The Supreme Court held that the obstruction count belonged in the Western District of Washington, not California, because the act of creating and sending the false invoice — the only act that supported the obstruction charge — happened entirely in Seattle. Article III's venue clause and the Sixth Amendment's vicinage requirement together do not let the government try a defendant in a state where no element of the charged offense occurred, no matter how convenient the prosecution. The obstruction conviction is vacated. The foreign-agent and wire-fraud convictions, which had different venue facts and were not before the Court, stand. Abouammo will not walk free. But the prosecution will need to decide whether to retry the obstruction count in Seattle, and the case is now a clean precedent that the venue clause has real teeth in a multi-district federal investigation.US Supreme Court overturns ex-Twitter employee's obstruction conviction in Saudi spy case | US News This is a public episode.

//The Wire//2300Z June 10, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: WAR REIGNITES IN IRAN AS MUTUAL TARGETING CONTINUES AROUND THE REGION. PRESIDENT TRUMP REVEALS ALLEGEDLY SECRET OPERATION IN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ. RIOTS AND UNREST REMAIN CONSTANT IN NORTHERN IRELAND.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Middle East: The war has continued to escalate as all sides remain engaged in active targeting operations throughout the region. After the reported shootdown of the American helicopter, the United States conducted 10-12x strikes throughout Iran in retaliation. Similarly, the Iranians attacked Jordan, Kuwait, and Bahrain again, striking airfields that are being used by American aircraft to conduct the war. This afternoon President Trump stated that American bombing will continue, and bombing sorties have already resumed with targets reportedly being struck once again throughout Iran.Northern Ireland: Unrest continued throughout Belfast throughout the night, with most of the more kinetic phases of the evening focusing around arson attacks on migrant housing projects throughout the city. Several dozen different sites and residential structures were burned down, and throughout the afternoon the riots have continued around the city.Analyst Comment: According to local reports, nobody was killed or stabbed during the night, so as of this morning at least, the "Chicago Way" has not been relied upon for conflict resolution throughout the city just yet. All things considered, the city has probably gotten off lightly so far considering the gravity and circumstances of the case that started all of this. However, as of this report, the second night of rioting has begun, and unrest looks to be in the forecast for the next few days.-HomeFront-Texas: Local dissent continues to grow in the wake of the Karmelo Anthony verdict, as Anthony was sentenced to 35 years in prison yesterday afternoon. So far only low-level unrest has been observed, however some BLM protests have remained persistent outside the Collin County courthouse, which have involved assaults and incidents between groups of protesters.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: This afternoon, President Trump revealed what is alleged to be a secret campaign to get more oil out of the Persian Gulf. This plan, the exact details of which remain very unclear, allegedly has resulted in hundreds of ships transiting the Strait, along with 100 million barrels of oil since the start of the operation. It's not immediately clear as to if this operation is still ongoing or not, but speculating a bit, this master plan appears to involve the US Navy attempting to conduct a grand shell game using a variety of electronic trickery, so as to sneak some vessels out of the Strait. Once in the Gulf of Oman, Ship-to-Ship transfers of oil are conducted, and the same ships run back through the Strait to pick up another load of oil. This has been suspected for some time as it's not exactly easy to hide a massive tanker vessel.In President Trump's social media post disclosing the operation, this "200 ship" claim needs more clarification because so far the numbers don't add up. This figure could be a total number of ships and not specifically oil tankers...small regional fishing boats are probably included in this figure. Even so, using his own numbers, the US has allegedly moved 100 million barrels of oil since May, during this secret operation. The average Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC) carries about 2 million barrels of crude oil, so this would be equivalent to 50x trips...over a period of at least a month.Before the war, about 20 million barrels of oil transited the Strait every day. Since the war started, this flow has been effectively cut off. The Saudi's have helped supplement the situation with their East-West Petroline system which runs overland, with a capacity of 7 million bbl/d. Similarly, the Emirates have tried sneaking oil out through Omani terminals on the Gulf of Oman side of the Strait (which is why Iran has been striking Oman semi-regularly since the start of the war).Since deception has been disclosed and confirmed in this case, honesty is not a part of this equation. It is possible that this "secret" operation was more effective than at first glance. However, since it's unwise to tell the world about a secret military operation that is currently ongoing, it's also possible that it was less effective than stated, and thus has been concluded much like Project Freedom initially was. The latter option is the most likely based on the little information that we have, because the claim of 100 million barrels of secret oil only amounts to about five days worth of crude due to the US consuming about 21 million bbl/d in the summertime (from all sources, including domestic production). Credit must be granted where credit is due, and this alleged operation is at least an attempt for the White House to fix the energy crisis that it started, which is a step in the right direction. However in this case the grand question remains as to whether or not it was worth it. Civilian mariners putting their lives at risk while drone boats guide them through a minefield, for so little oil that the world did not even notice...might be a rather suboptimal arrangement on the strategic level.As a result, if this deception campaign was working to alleviate some pressure on the global oil crisis, nobody seems to have told the Department of Energy because the United States has continued to drain the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) at record rates. All total, the US has released around 172 million barrels from the SPR since the war began, most of which was sold for export as most US domestic refinement is heavily reliant on crude from the Middle East. If the US did indeed succeed in a total of 100 million barrels exiting the Strait...it did not just disappear, it had to go somewhere and somebody had to account for it over the past few months. Ships carrying oil don't just vanish into thin air, and there is undoubtedly a paper trail leading to the truth. Consequently, it's possible that the truth is being bent quite heavily and the numbers don't add up. Taking all of this at face value however, even with clever tricks, the Saudi's backup pipeline, US refinement booming, and draining our strategic reserves, basic arithmetic indicates that this is not enough to halt the energy crisis from getting more serious with each passing day.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Tessel Middag wants her sport to be a force for good. But she says that's hard to imagine when FIFA's “Major Worldwide Partner” for the 2026 World Cup is Saudi state oil company, Aramco. And it's not just Tessel. Advocates like Frank Huisingh feel uneasy watching athletes compete in extreme heat while flanked by advertisements for the globe's leading oil corporation. But as the world continues to warm, can advocates convince football's governing body to ditch oil and gas sponsorships, and make way for climate-conscious partnerships?

The Gulf has been a key target for Iranian missiles and drones. Iran has struck infrastructure, oil and gas installations, civilian areas, and US military bases. These attacks have struck at the heart of the Gulf's image as a safe and stable environment. While the region deals with Iranian attacks, Saudi Arabia and the UAE have been working out how to deal with each other. The Saudi-Emirati rivialry has been rumbling on for a number of years now, and during this conflict, they both have conflicting ideas about how to deal with Iran, who they should be allied with, and how they can protect their economies. This week, how have the Saudi and Emirati economies been impacted by the war? Why did the UAE leave OPEC? And what do these two competing regional powers what in Iran? Joining us to discuss the UAE and how it has been impacted by the war is Giorgio Cafiero (@GiorgioCafiero), CEO of Gulf State Analytics (@GulfStateAnalyt), and adjunct assistant professor at Georgetown University (@Georgetown). And to guide us through Saudi Arabia, we speak with Kristian Coates Ulrichsen (@Dr_Ulrichsen), Fellow for the Middle East at Rice University's Baker Institute for Public Policy (@BakerInstitute).

In today's video, Wolfie reacts to a massive breaking story regarding our gaffer, Vítor Pereira. As reported by journalist Ben Jacobs in image_0c0759.png, Saudi Arabian giants Al-Hilal are heavily interested in tempting Pereira away from the City Ground with a massive wage packet. While Pereira has managed in Saudi before with Al-Ahli and Al-Shabab, he is currently preparing for the upcoming season with Forest and is actually in talks over a contract extension. Wolfie breaks down whether the club can successfully fend off this Saudi interest, or if a massive financial offer could cause a shock summer managerial departure. But the news doesn't stop in the dugout! Wolfie also dives into the latest transfer rumours linking Nottingham Forest with a move for an exciting Belgian international defender to shore up our backline. Wolfie shares his unfiltered thoughts on both stories—from whether we should be worried about losing our head coach to how this potential new Belgian signing would fit into our tactical plans.

Cristiano Ronaldo Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Cristiano Ronaldo's week has been a reminder that even at 41, he is still writing chapters that matter for his biography, not just adding footnotes. Britannica recently updated his profile to underline that in 2024 he became the first men's player to score 900 official career goals, and now in Saudi Arabia he has just ended Al Nassr's long trophy drought by scoring twice to clinch the Saudi Pro League title, a development outlets like Britannica frame as a key late-career milestone that cements his impact on football beyond Europe. That league win, coming in what many see as the twilight of his playing days, will age as one of the defining moments of his post-Real Madrid narrative. In the broader arc of his story, ESPN and other major sports outlets have been looking ahead to the 2026 World Cup, positioning Ronaldo on the brink of a record sixth appearance on the biggest stage, and asking whether he and Lionel Messi could finally share a World Cup in the same tournament and perhaps even meet head to head in a knockout clash that would crown their two-decade rivalry. That speculative angle is unconfirmed, of course Portugal still has to finalize its squad and Ronaldo must stay fit but it speaks to how central he remains to global football economics, with analysts on platforms like YouTube even arguing Portugal's economy and tourism bump around 2026 could be significantly tied to Ronaldo's presence. On social media, data cited by style and culture outlet A Diamond Is Forever highlights that Ronaldo has generated more than two hundred thousand media mentions and nearly two hundred thousand social media mentions in the past year, more than double any other player, underscoring his ongoing commercial power and relevance to sponsors and fashion brands in the lead-up to 2026. That same coverage has placed him among the most stylish players expected at the World Cup, reinforcing his role as a lifestyle and luxury icon, not just a goal machine. Around him, the Ronaldo brand continues to echo in pop culture: even a viral chihuahua-dachshund named Ronaldo, covered by ABC News and other broadcasters, is racking up millions of views by “saving shots” in a backyard goal, a small but telling sign of how deeply his name sits in the cultural bloodstream. There are also constant low-level transfer and retirement rumors circulating on fan accounts and minor blogs, but as of now, no major outlet such as ESPN, BBC Sport, or Sky Sports has confirmed any imminent move away from Al Nassr or a formal retirement date. Until a top-tier source reports otherwise, those stories remain pure speculation and should be treated as such. That wraps up this episode of Cristiano Ronaldo Biography Flash.

//The Wire//2300Z June 4, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: CROSSBOW ATTACK REPORTED IN UNITED KINGDOM. NEW WORLD SCREWWORM CONFIRMED IN TEXAS. CONGRESS VOTES TO REAFFIRM WAR POWERS RESOLUTION.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-United Kingdom: This morning an attack was reported at the University of Surrey after a former student shot a security guard with a crossbow. The attacker has not yet been identified, however authorities have stated his is a Saudi national. The security guard who was shot remains in critical condition, and more details are expected at the situation develops.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - Last night Congress voted to acknowledge the pre-existing War Powers Resolution, which would hold the Executive Branch to the standards of this resolution concerning the current war in the Persian Gulf.Analyst Comment: This vote has no real effect as it is merely a milquetoast effort to acknowledge a law that is already on the books, namely that the President can't declare war, only Congress can. The war certainly will not stop based on this vote, and President Trump also dismissed the vote in a post on his social media platform this morning.Texas: Yesterday, the USDA confirmed the presence of New World Screwworm (NWS) within the United States, marking the first confirmed case within the United States since the disease was eradicated from the continent in 1966. This first case was discovered in a newborn calf in Zavala County. A 20 km quarantine zone has been placed around the farm where the disease was discovered, and a unified incident command has been established to increase surveillance of the disease and increase targeted releases of sterile NWS flies, which is the primary means of combating the disease (used in the 1950's to eradicate it the first time).-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: For many months, agricultural communities have been sounding alarm bells regarding the spread of screwworm throughout Central America. Various agencies and entities have indeed engaged in extremely significant campaigns to slow the spread of the disease, but despite these genuine efforts, it was not enough and screwworm has crossed the border. It's hard to determine how severe this disease will impact livestock herds around the nation, however earlier this year, the USDA reported that the national cattle inventory currently sits at 86.2 million head, the lowest level since 1951. As a reminder, this is the raw figure that is not adjusted for the US population at the time. In 1951, the population of the United States was around 150 million. Today, the US population is (on paper) over double that figure, at 342 million. Based on the numbers alone, the US has returned to the beef levels of the 1950's, even though our population has doubled since then.This figure ebbs and flows throughout the year, and this is more of a strategic concern that has been building for some time, as opposed to an immediate and time-sensitive emergency. The reason for the decline in cattle stocks is mostly the result of high feed costs and drought conditions over the past few years, which have dwindled the national cattle supply. Over the past few months, the war in Iran has sharply driven up fertilizer prices, which has driven up prices for everything including the feed for cattle, as well as transportation and operating costs. So right now, a perfect storm is brewing. Cattle herds are already in a compromised state after years of drought and high feed costs, the Gulf War is making everything more expensive, and the cherry on top now arrives with New World Screwworm spreading throughout the national cattle supply at it's lowest point in 75 years. The next major indicator to watch out for will arrive at the end of July when the next cattle report comes out; total stockpiles of livestock nationwide are only compiled twice per year due to production cycles, so next month's report will be very telling in terms of how bad the situation truly is. Even based on January's data, it is a very softball assessment to surmise that beef prices are going to keep increasing for the foreseeable future, and when the supply shock from the global petroleum crisis finally trickles down more seriously to big industry, these costs will continue to escalate even more later on this year.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he covers today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan reports that hopes for an Iran peace deal are fading fast, with the IRGC now threatening to open a new war front in the Red Sea alongside the Houthis and a leaked, expletive-laced phone call between President Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu revealing the worst rift between the two leaders in over a year. Bryan walks through Iran's escalating attacks on commercial ships, the strategic stakes of a potential Red Sea closure for Saudi oil exports, and uses the case of arrested IRGC terrorist Mohammad al-Saadi to argue that Trump's blind spot is trying to negotiate in good faith with religious fanatics who view this as an existential war. He lays out a clear path forward: a televised tactical retreat where Trump turns Europe, Asia, and the Arab states into the foil and puts America First, then pivots to a wave of Democrat judges rolling back Trump policies on the "86-47" assassination phrase, transgender troops, the anti-weaponization fund, the Kennedy Center renaming, and the green card abroad rule. Plus, Bryan closes with genuinely good news: US manufacturing just hit a four-year high under Trump's Triple B bill, General Dynamics is finally restarting 155 artillery shell production in Texas, and the Pentagon's new $1 billion Drone Dominance contest is recruiting backyard tinkerers and former drone racing champions to out-build America's adversaries.

Lucien (recording from Riyadh, mid-apartment move) and Hanna (in London, riding out an unlikely heat wave) open Episode 70 (!) catching up with each other. Between Arsenal's recent win of the Premier League title for the first time in 22 years, and the Seattle Seahawks winning the Super Bowl, it is the year of Championship Hanaa. She lives within earshot of the Emirates Stadium in Islington, her son knows every chant and every stat, and the neighborhood has been in full kit ever since. Hanna is also headed to Miami this summer for a World Cup match, though she'd have preferred the Egypt v. Iran fixture in Seattle — her kids are still in school. And the wins keep on coming: On June 3rd, she'll be co-hosting the 7th edition of the Middle East Sports Investment Forum in London. Before the main segment, the hosts share a piece of listener feedback that landed: a message on LinkedIn, from a listener who said The Twenty30 "was one of the most valuable sources of information they had when deciding whether to accept a job offer in Riyadh." That's the whole point of the show, and the hosts don't take it lightly.  Then, Lucien does a deep dive on Riyadh Air. Lucien frames it personally first: he's taken six flights in the last six weeks, lives an hour and a half from Dulles in D.C., and values a direct flight more than almost anything else in travel. Saudia currently holds the only nonstop service from Washington and New York into Riyadh, which should make it the obvious choice — except that Saudia's in-flight internet on long-haul routes is essentially non-functional. He's been routing through Abu Dhabi, Doha, and Dubai instead, noting that all three of those hubs have been noticeably quiet during the conflict. Every time he boards, the thought is the same: where is Riyadh Air? The answer is: closer than it looks. Riyadh Air received its GACA operating approval in February 2025 and operated its first flight — an invite-only Riyadh to London Heathrow service using a wet-leased Oman Air 787-9 — in April 2025. The commercial launch has been held up not by Riyadh Air but by Boeing. Seven fully built Riyadh Air 787-9s are currently sitting at Boeing's Charleston, South Carolina factory awaiting certification, with an eighth still on the final assembly line. The first A321neo delivery is expected in Q4 2026, with the 787 Dreamliners to follow. In January 2026, Riyadh Air locked in Neo Space Group as its WiFi provider for the A321neo fleet — Skywaves connectivity, up to 300 Mbps, free for Sphere loyalty members — layered on top of an existing Viasat contract for the 787 fleet that was signed in April 2025. The internet situation, in other words, is going to be the opposite of Saudia's. Qatar Airways already has Starlink and Lucien describes it as faster than his home connection. That's the bar -- let all airlines seek to best it! The initial network was leaked via Airport Coordination Limited and shows 15 destinations: Amman, Bangkok, Cairo, Dubai, Islamabad, Jakarta, Jeddah, Kuala Lumpur, Lahore, London Heathrow, Madrid, Manchester, Manila, Mumbai, and Paris. Washington, DC is not on the list :( Three of those routes — Madrid, Manchester, and Jakarta — would be nonstop firsts from Riyadh. Jeddah, Madrid, and Manchester were officially confirmed via Riyadh Air's social media on April 20th. In early May, the airline formally applied to the US Department of Transportation for a foreign air carrier permit with a request for expedited clearance — so DC may not be far behind. On May 19th, public ticket sales opened for the daily Riyadh to London Heathrow service launching July 1st. The aircraft will have four classes: Business Elite (four first-class suites on the first aircraft), Business (24 seats), Premium Economy (39 seats), and Economy. Hanaa flags premium economy as the sleeper feature. Qatar Airways doesn't offer it. British Airways isn't flying to Saudi at the moment. For families, or for anyone who can't justify business class on a personal trip, it fills a genuine gap. Lucien agrees — he's a last-minute booker and business class prices close to departure get punishing.  On the competitive landscape: Singapore Airlines announced four-times-weekly nonstop service from Singapore to Riyadh on the A350-900, scheduled to start June 2nd before being delayed by the conflict. That announcement read like a signal — Singapore Airlines effectively saying it wasn't going to let Riyadh Air own the premium international corridor into Saudi unchallenged. European carriers largely exited during the hostilities; Lufthansa pulled Lucien off a connecting flight in late January, rerouting him through London and adding a full day to his journey. British Airways still isn't flying to Saudi. The supply contraction has pushed prices up significantly on what routes remain. Riyadh Air stepping into this environment — with new aircraft, working internet, and routes that don't yet exist nonstop from Riyadh — is well-positioned (if it can seize the timing of this moment).  The workforce story is its own headline. Riyadh Air has received two million (two million!) applications across its hiring portals.  The hosts close the segment by zooming out. Airlines are structurally brutal businesses. What gives Riyadh Air a real edge, at least at launch, is route exclusivity and limited competition into Riyadh. As long as pricing is in range, travelers choose the direct. That simple fact, combined with Vision 2030's tourism and modernity goals, makes Riyadh Air something bigger than just an airline. King Khalid International Airport remained one of the most operationally open airports in the region during the conflict. The infrastructure is there. The aircraft are nearly there. Riyadh Air is coming. The episode wraps with a brief detour into domestic flying in Saudi — the Riyadh to Jeddah corridor, the high proportion of passengers in Ihram performing Umrah year-round, and genuine praise for Saudia's cabin crew and their quietly impressive ability to reshuffle seating at boarding so that women aren't seated next to unrelated men. Seamless, fast, and genuinely underappreciated. The one criticism of Saudia that neither host will let go: the internet!

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Ahmed Moor speaks with Omar Shakir, Executive Director of Democracy in the Arab World Now (DAWN), about DAWN's new report on the revolving door between AIPAC (the American Israel Public Affairs Committee) and U.S. and Israeli governmental institutions and the roles AIPAC plays in U.S. politics and public discourse. They also look at instances of conflation between Jewish people and AIPAC (including, for instance, by Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro), as well as new and growing toxicity of the AIPAC brand and how that toxicity affects other political groups, such as J Street. See the new DAWN report, New Data Highlights AIPAC Ties to the U.S., Israeli Governments (5/20/26). Omar Shakir is the Executive Director of Democracy in the Arab World Now (DAWN), the organization founded by the late Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi that seeks to change US policy in the Middle East and hold human rights abusers in the region accountable. Prior to his current role, Omar served for nearly a decade as the Israel and Palestine Director at Human Rights Watch. Ahmed Moor is a Palestinian-American writer born in Gaza and a Fellow at FMEP. He is an advisory board member of the US Campaign for Palestinian rights, co-editor of After Zionism (Saqi Books) and is currently writing a book about Palestine. He also currently serves on the board of the Independence Media Foundation. His work has been published in The Guardian, The London Review of Books, The Nation, and elsewhere. He earned a BA at the University of Pennsylvania and an MPP at Harvard University. You can follow Ahmed on Substack at: https://ahmedmoor.substack.com and on X at @AhmedMoor.

From AI megadeals to food delivery consolidation and a new wave of defense manufacturing, today's stories highlight how capital, technology, and power are converging across the US, Europe, and the Gulf. Anthropic's rise above OpenAI marks a reshaping of the global AI hierarchy, but Abu Dhabi's quiet cross-investments tell an even bigger story. Meanwhile, Uber's push for Delivery Hero puts Talabat and HungerStation in play across the Middle East. In parallel, a US-Saudi venture to build Shahed-style drones in Riyadh signals an accelerating regional race to localize advanced military production. Newsletter: https://lnkd.in/dAkTDhJ6WhatsApp: aug.us/40FdYLUInstagram: aug.us/4ihltzQTiktok: aug.us/4lnV0D8Smashi Business Show (Mon-Friday): aug.us/3BTU2MY

Trump's China summit gets sold as strength, but the details tell a different story. We dig into what the U.S. says it achieved versus what China actually signals afterward, especially on Iran and regional security. From our seat, the big issue is leverage: if Beijing won't bend and Washington can't compel, the talking points don't matter much. That gap shows up immediately in the most unglamorous place possible, supply chains and rare earth minerals that can quietly slow U.S. weapons production. We also get into Taiwan and the argument you hear everywhere: microchips, economic survival, and the idea that the U.S. has no choice but to confront China. We challenge that framing with a hard look at policy commitments, strategic ambiguity, and whether arms sales mean anything if the industrial base can't deliver on time. If you care about U.S. China relations, Taiwan strategy, and the real limits of military power, this part connects the dots in plain language. Then we turn to Iran and the “short, powerful strike” narrative. We walk through the operational reality: aircraft range, KC-135 air refueling, basing in the Gulf, and why Saudi, Qatari, and Kuwaiti cooperation can effectively veto a plan. We also talk escalation, the Strait of Hormuz, and how regional actors could widen the conflict fast. Finally, we bring it home to U.S. politics with the Israel lobby debate and the high-stakes Thomas Massey primary as a test of money, influence, and war policy.

//The Wire//2300Z May 22, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: EXPLOSION STRIKES HUNGARIAN PETROCHEMICAL REFINERY. W.H.O. WARNS OF EBOLA OUTBREAK IN THE CONGO. RUMORS OF POTENTIAL PEACE DEAL CONTINUE TO CIRCULATE IN THE MIDDLE EAST.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Hungary: This morning an explosion was reported at the MOL petrochemical facility in Tiszaújváros. Hungarian officials claim that the explosion took place as the Olefin-1 unit was being brought online, and a compressor exploded at the plant. One worker was killed during the explosion.Analyst Comment: While this refinery was first build decades ago, most of the facility is comparatively new, with the main installation undergoing major overhaul and expansion operations being completed in 2024. The main product produced by this installation is polyol, a precursor for the production of plastics.Africa: Concerns have been growing over the past few days regarding an outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. A total of 82 cases have been confirmed so far in the Congo, and around 750 more suspected cases are being monitored. The WHO has also elevated the risk level to "VERY HIGH" regarding this disease within the Congo.Analyst Comment: It's too soon to tell if this is going to be another big crisis, however the WHO is pushing in hard, and the United States has implemented travel controls for commercial aviation coming from the region. Ebola crises normally come and go in Africa, and it's always challenging to determine if the next one will be a more widespread concern, especially when public distrust of medical agencies is already high in the wake of the COVID era.-HomeFront-Indiana: This morning a shooting was reported inside Franciscan Health Hospital in Michigan City. The incident began after Deputy Jon Samuelson of the LaPorte County Sheriff's Office stopped to render aid to a disabled vehicle near Westville. The inhabitant of the vehicle requested to be taken to the hospital for an unknown injury, which the officer did. After delivering the individual to the hospital, authorities made the connection that the individual was actually a suspect in an undisclosed crime last night, prompting Deputy Samuelson to re-enter the hospital to make contact with the suspect. Upon doing so, the individual produced a firearm inside the Emergency department, and shot the officer three times, before fleeing into a wooded area outside the facility. The suspect has been identified as Sharod Grafton, Jr. and was apprehended shortly after the shooting.Washington D.C. - This afternoon Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard resigned from her position. Her resignation letter indicated that this departure is due to her husband's recent cancer diagnosis, and that this resignation is effective as of June 30th.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: In the Middle East, reports are widely contradictory regarding recent leaks of a potential peace agreement draft. Saudi sources have leaked what they claim is a rough draft of the peace agreement, which includes a list of very tentative points. In summary, the alleged draft as leaked is basically a stalemate. The US lifts sanctions on Iran, and Iran opens the Strait, while all sides agree to not invade or target each other anymore. As a result, many view this leak rather dubiously as this is a far cry from what the United States has said was acceptable in the past.Regarding this war, one's watch can nearly be set by the timing and nature of the rhetoric that emerges. Reports of peace agreements have arrived like clockwork on Friday's and Monday's nearly every week since the start of the war, and time and time again have proven to not be serious attempts at peace but rather attempts to calm the markets. However, despite this clear pattern every claim is a fake until it isn't, and eventually something will have to be agreed upon to open the Strait. As it stands, opening the Strait in exchange for lifting sanctions is probably the simplest trade that can actually be agreed upon, especially since this would require the Iranians to give up their only bargaining chip at the moment (which on a strategic level they are probably okay with since they know that they can always close the Strait if attacked again). Time will tell how this works out, but as it stands nothing has been signed, and it's not over until the fat lady sings.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

Brian Szytel recaps a positive market turnaround from Miami Beach after Hightower leadership meetings, with the Dow up about 280 points, the S&P up ~15 bps, and the Nasdaq up ~10 bps; year-to-date, the Dow is up ~5%, the S&P ~9%, and the Nasdaq ~13%. Rates were little changed with the 10-year around 4.56%, and WTI oil was slightly down amid reports of a potential Saudi-linked development in the Iran conflict. He discusses persistent core inflation across CPI, PPI, and PCE as demand growth outpaces supply growth alongside rising money supply, while maintaining the thesis of a 1% real Fed funds rate but with higher inflation expectations (now ~2.5–3%) implying a higher terminal Fed funds range. Economic data included slightly better housing starts (~1.5M), in-line jobless claims (209K), strong flash manufacturing PMI (55.3), and slightly softer services PMI (50.9), and he explains why markets focus on results versus expectations. 00:00 Welcome and Updates 00:52 Market Close Recap 01:44 Inflation and Fed Outlook 03:32 Today Economic Data 04:30 How to Read Data 05:33 Wrap Up and Thanks 05:53 Disclosures Links mentioned in this episode: DividendCafe.com TheBahnsenGroup.com

US equities were higher in Thursday trading. Stocks saw an afternoon rally following a Saudi media report that a mediated cease fire agreement could be announced later today. Beyond geopolitics, the momentum trade continued rebound after the recent selloff. It was helped in part by optimism about the AI demand narrative.

The pigs are at the trough. Trump's expected overseas real estate income has tripled to $430 million in his second term. Eric Trump is doing deals in China while Taiwan goes unmentioned and Iran keeps arming the people killing Ukrainians and Americans. Nvidia's CEO is being paraded around as the administration floats opening AI chip markets to Beijing. Don Jr. is tied to a drone company that just landed a Pentagon contract — inside a defense budget heading toward $1.5 trillion, a 40% spike with no apparent guardrails on family conflicts of interest. This isn't politics. It's a national security fire sale, and the Angry Middle smells it. This solo briefing connects the dots the legacy press keeps siloed: the foreign income filings, the Saudi-linked licensing deals, the Pentagon trough, Kash Patel's reality-TV FBI tour, and the lesson from Hungary — that corruption, not ideology, is what finally moved Orban's voters. With 45% of Americans now independent and 60% of young people unaffiliated, the rigged two-party system is on notice. The question isn't whether people are furious. It's whether that fury gets channeled into November, into independent veteran candidates, and into the structural reforms — the Raskin list and beyond — that should already be law. -WATCH full video of this episode here. -Join IVA and stand up to Trump's Forever Wars. -Learn more about Paul's work to elect a new generation of independent leaders with Independent Veterans of America. -Learn more about American Veterans for Ukraine here. -Remember Independent is an Attitude. -Learn more about The Headstrong Project for Veterans, Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), and Department of Veterans Affairs resources in your area.

MERCH - https://nonmembersshop.com/Happy National No Dirty Dishes Day! We kick off the episode by agreeing this holiday is literally impossible, especially in a house of five. Erin shares a controversial "Mother's Day Hot Take" comparing the forced fun and expectations to New Year's Eve but admits this year was a rare, peaceful success involving her favorite Whole Foods sourdough. Erin gives a highly anticipated update on her hydroponic garden, celebrating her incredibly flavorful homegrown salads despite the emotional trauma of executing her weaker sprouts. We also drop an urgent reminder that our merch preorder is officially closing this week, so secure your hoodies and mystery $15 trinkets while you can.Erin recaps her weekend of chaotic "side quests," including a girls' night that devolved into screaming about a frog while aggressively throwing non waterproof flameless candles into a pool. She also got roped into judging a local car show in the freezing rain despite knowing nothing about cars, ultimately picking the winners based purely on vibes and flippy headlights. We then dive into a hilarious niche internet trend: "Scientology Speedruns," where guys film themselves rushing into church buildings just to see how far they can get before the staff kicks them out.In sports and running news, we marvel at 23-year-old Sophia, who took a wrong turn at the Flying Pig Half and accidentally ran a full 3:30 marathon, and celebrate Rachel, who absolutely shattered the Cocodona 250 record and beat every man in the 253-mile field. We discuss an athlete suing Puma over career-ending spikes, the Eagles drafting a Nigerian player who has never played a snap of football, and rumors of LIV Golf running out of Saudi funding (which sparks a heated rant about how terrible AI search results have become). Plus, Mike successfully snipes an eBay auction for Mario cards live on air, and we officially declare we are done talking about the Alix Earle and Alex Cooper drama until something actually happens.We are then joined by fan-favorite runner Eamon for an honest interview about his recent DNF at a 100-mile race, discussing the brutal downhills, the wild self-talk swings, the humbling moment of getting his bib ripped off for missing a cutoff, and his immediate plan for redemption in October. Finally, we review a bizarre TikTok of an Eastern European family silently eating massive bowls of hard-boiled eggs and sausages, and wrap up with a wholesome "No Bad, No Sad" story about a group of friends who secretly booked out their buddy's entire Columbus food tour for his birthday.

A Daily Wire investigation reveals more Medicaid fraud in Ohio, the FBI raids the offices of the lead Democrat in the Virginia Senate, and LIV Golf is on life support as Saudi funding dries up.

Trump's corruption is so astonishing, extensive, and overwhelming that most people can't keep up with all the ways he's profiting off his presidency every single day. Isaac examined the reporting on the First Family's self-dealing in Trump's second term, and he's compiled the most exhaustive accounting of it so far. Just two examples: Trump's sons are doing business with a criminal syndicate that stole billions from Americans; and Trump last year branded a cellphone, had it certified by the FCC, and never delivered them to buyers who paid $100 for the device. The Dems are not doing nearly enough to highlight Trump's corruption. Plus, Saudi-paid Jared really needs to testify before Congress, the value of a news source that breaks our algorithmic siloes, and the risk of the Iran war just fading into the background.Tangle News' Issac Saul joins Tim Miller. show notes Isaac's compilation of the Trump family's self-dealing Mona's piece on Trump's corruption Isaac on "This American Life" Tangle's home page Just announced!
