United States’ Serious Problem
I don’t care about Charlie Kirk. You can not ask any BIPOC or member of the LGBTQ+ to have empathy for a man who claimed empathy is a made up word. A man who built his wealth by attacking marginalized communities. Who also claimed “in order to protect our GOD GIVEN right to the second amendment” gun violence is justified. I am neither here to mourn nor celebrate what happened to him. Simply: you reap what you sow. However, the United States suffers another political blow to democracy because of Kirk’s assassination.

Charlie Kirk Left the Noise. We’re Still in It.. AI-Generated.
Charlie Kirk died, and the internet split in two. Many mourned—not just quietly, but publicly. They spoke out, shared their grief, defended his legacy, and pushed back against the wave of online cruelty that followed. But their voices were overwhelmed by a louder crowd: those celebrating. Posting memes, quoting his most controversial lines, treating his death as karma—a punchline and poetic justice. As if one man’s death somehow meant a win for the world.

The $14 Trillion US Stock Rally is Seeking a Fed Cut Playbook
One of the most striking developments in the global financial landscape this year has been the $14 trillion rally in the US stock market, driven by investor optimism that the Federal Reserve will soon begin lowering interest rates. The optimism that looser monetary conditions will prolong the economic growth cycle is reflected in this surge, which is primarily concentrated in equities but also spreads across sectors and asset classes. It also reveals the delicate balance between market realities, policy signals, and expectations. The rally began gathering momentum as inflation in the U.S. showed clearer signs of moderation compared to the peaks of recent years. For months, the Federal Reserve has maintained a cautious stance, keeping rates elevated in order to ensure that inflationary pressures do not reignite. However, investors are now increasingly convinced that a pivot toward rate cuts is inevitable. The belief is that slowing consumer prices, cooling labor market conditions, and global economic uncertainties will collectively push the Fed to loosen policy. Since the most recent low, market capitalization has increased by nearly $14 trillion as a result of strong inflows into stocks based on this assumption. Because technology stocks are particularly sensitive to expectations regarding interest rates, they have been at the forefront of this rally. With lower borrowing costs on the horizon, high-growth companies, especially in artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and cloud computing, appear more attractive to investors. Mega-cap firms have delivered impressive earnings and provided guidance that aligns with a lower-rate environment, amplifying enthusiasm for the sector. Yet, the rally has not been confined to technology alone. Cyclical sectors, industrials, financials, and consumer discretionary shares have also joined the climb, signaling a broader belief in economic resilience.

UN assembly votes overwhelmingly to back two-state solution to Israel-Palestinian conflict
By overwhelmingly affirming its support for a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict, the United Nations General Assembly has once again placed the Middle East peace issue at the center of international diplomacy. The decision came after a long day of debate that reflected both the enduring urgency of the issue and the continuing divides among member states over how to achieve lasting peace. The assembly demonstrated strong support for the concept of two states living side by side in peace and security, a vision that has remained at the center of global peace efforts for decades by approving the resolution with a large majority of nations. The resolution underscored the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination, independence, and sovereignty in a state of their own, while also affirming the right of Israel to exist within secure and internationally recognized borders. The measure emphasized the significance of international law, human rights, and the United Nations Charter, condemned acts of violence against civilians, and called for renewed efforts by all parties to resume negotiations. Diplomats stressed that without progress toward two states, the region risks further instability, cycles of conflict, and deepening humanitarian crises.
