Despite posting a beat on the top and bottom line. Tesla is on pace for a sixth straight day of losses, now issuing some recalls for the cybertruck over faulty accelerator pedals lets begin with Market Reaction to israels retaliatory strike on iran, jim. So far, not a lot of signals that this is going to cause a conflagration. No. I talked last night about what we need on mad money, a crescendo of selling at 10 15, we thought we had that last night the fact that we now have decided that it wasnt important not we decided that it is less relevant, so weve come back up is, again, something i dont want to see.

What are we up for why are we up . How about flat how about down a little . We dont get that. So, it makes me suspicious of this opening

Funding is set to expire at the end of the month without congressional action. We spoke earlier with a capitol hill reporter. With current funding set to run out at the end of the month, the senate is set to formally begin debate on its bill. Manu raju of politico, youre right that ted cruz came to the floor and accused Mitch Mcconnell of telling a flatout lie. Tell us what that was all about. Mr. Raju it was really a remarkable moment. Rarely do you see a senator going and singling out another senator in stark terms, accusing them of lying, someone within their own arty. And stashed their own party. And certainly a party leader. It just does not happen in a chamber like the senate. It is usually a very collegial place. Youre not supposed to address senators directly. But Mitch Mcconnell assured him and other republicans that the xm bank, which
