Gulf oil producers, with considerable support from the US Navy, are jamming crude through the Strait of Hormuz, right under Iran’s nose. Oil and petroleum product flows through the critical chokepoint averaged 13.1 million barrels per day last week, according to Kpler, a marine data tracking service. That’s just under 80% of the 17.1 million barrels that had traveled through the strait each day before the war broke out. “Given such a strong volume passing through the strait, it is clear Iran is losing its influence over it,” said Matt Smith, director of commodity research at Kpler. CNN takes a look what recent developments in the Strait mean for the war and check in on where talks between the US and Iran stand. 0:00 Oil through…

A study by Cameron Ellis of Iowa and Lars Powell of Alabama, using itemized FEC records, estimates that biased spam filtering from Google cost Republicans 142,126 expected first-time WinRed donations, or about $117 million, and functioned as an in-kind lift for ActBlue. From June 30 to September 15, 2025, Google’s use of a SURBL blacklist that improperly flagged WinRed links cut first-time WinRed donations 75 percent across Gmail, Outlook, and Yahoo. A separate Outlook-only stretch from February through April 2025 cut them 83 percent. Placement tests pointed at the WinRed URL. After Google dropped SURBL on September 15, the flow normalized once again, and the censorship apparatus dissipated. But the damage was already done. Combined RNC,…Open

Russia is offering about £20,000 bonuses through Facebook ads to lure American and British fighters into the Ukraine war, Ukrainian sources say, as Moscow struggles to replace heavy losses. The Sun reported that Moscow is pushing eye-watering payments of about £20,000 to people who sign up for Russia’s army, with recruitment running through social media ads on Facebook, TikTok, and Telegram. U.S. recruits are usually paid a £20,000 signing bonus and £1,500 a month, according to that account of the drive. Foreigners, including Americans, have turned up among the new fighters on the Ukrainian front.

A biotech firm is racing two new male contraceptives toward the market, including an on-demand pill company leaders say may heighten pleasure, not dull it. NEXT Life Sciences is developing PausePill, a non-hormonal oral option designed for roughly 24 hours of birth control, and Plan A, a reversible hydrogel implant meant to work like a temporary filter in the vas deferens.

People are signing up and saying, ‘as soon as it’s available, please.’” That waitlist claim sits beside survey numbers the company and coverage highlight as proof of…Open
