Letitia James Moves To Silence Debate Over Transgender Policies Authored by Jonathan Turley, There was an interesting complaint filed in New York yesterday in which a group of parents and educators sued New York Attorney General Letitia James over a letter viewed as threatening those who are raising transgender policies in public meetings.

Such context cannot be downloaded, transferred or absorbed through an AI tool, which, by its very title, can never be a genuine substitute for earned (and therefore, actual) intelligence.

Fed launches QE5 sending gold and silver higher and the dollar lower.

Oracle Tumbles On Disappointing Cloud Revenue; CapEx Soars: Funding Questions Remain While the Fed's "not so hawkish" cut was certainly better than what the market expected, largely thanks to the very dovish addition of $40BN in not QE monthly Reserve Management Purchases of T-Bills, there was another key event today and, as we previewed earlier, that was Oracle's second quarter results. And unlike the Fed, this one was not nearly as good for risk assets: the company reported earnings which beat estimates, but the top line was a mess, with cloud growth missing across the board, […]

Musk responded:  "I can't go to things where there's the general public because I'm there, there's an immediate, can I have a selfie line that forms, […]

Wall Street Reacts To Powell's "More Dovish Than Expected" Rate Cut Consensus was expecting a hawkish rate cut, and while it got the cut, the hawkish elements - more dissenters, higher dots, a pushback by Powell during the presser - did not not materalize, and instead we have a low-grade revolt by the non-voters at the Fed (6 dots for unch today, only 2 dissents, more 3 dots expecting a rate hike in 2026), yet that will be promptly snuffed by whoever Trump picks to replace Powell next May. In fact, one can say that today's meeting was much more dovish than expected when […]
