Trump Charges for Truth Social Speed, Oil Hits Triple Digits, and AMC's Box Office Comeback

The episode covers a wide range of developments, from a controversial new Trump Media data service that lets traders pay $100,000 a month to see Trump's Truth Social posts milliseconds faster, to oil prices surging above $100 a barrel as supply disruptions hit three critical chokepoints simultaneously. AMC just had one of its best quarters ever, while Taylor Farms bungled its response to a cyclospora outbreak that has sickened thousands and confused consumers nationwide.

Oil's Triple Threat: Strait of Hormuz, Bab el-Mandeb, and the Black Sea

Crude prices surged above $100 a barrel yesterday as supplies came under attack across three different fronts, threatening one quarter of the world's oil supply. Beyond the well-known Strait of Hormuz, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait—the narrow waterway connecting the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean—has become a no-go zone for oil tankers. Houthi militants in Yemen, backed by Iran, attacked two Saudi Arabian tankers in the Red Sea, causing oil to cross the $100 threshold for the first time since May.
