Gas Prices Are Tumbling

Gasoline markets have shifted into reverse.
Wholesale costs have slid in recent weeks, undoing a late-summer run-up that sparked fears of an inflationary shock while promising relief to drivers and the Federal Reserve. Already, gas stations around the U.S. are cutting prices at the pump, a trend that traders on Wall Street suggest will continue in the coming weeks.

Is this really news? The northern hemisphere summer driving season is over, gasoline prices are falling. Seems to be a pattern.

Virginia Democrats Push for DOJ Investigation After Voters Were Wrongfully Removed

With a pivotal election just weeks away, the state admitted to mistakenly removing eligible voters.

Judge Punishes Giuliani for Disregard of Court Orders

The judge presiding over the upcoming damages trial against Rudy Giuliani said Friday she will tell jurors that the former Trump lawyer intentionally hid financial documents and other records in defiance of court orders.
That means jurors deciding how much Giuliani should pay two Georgia election workers he defamed will be told they can assume the worst about why the former New York City mayor has failed to turn over the court-ordered records.
