The measure passed the Senate 86-11 and the House 262-159, reflecting unusually broad backing for increasing pressure on Moscow.

Oil shock reversed progress

Inflation fell from 2.4% in January toward the Fed's target but rose to 4.2% in May before easing to 3.4% in August as the Iran war disrupted oil supplies.

Forecasts leave room for more

Officials' projections show only one additional hike in 2026, but Warsh's message suggests those projections are not a promise if inflation stays high.

Rates cannot fix oil prices

The Fed cannot control the cost of crude itself, but it can use higher rates to stop an energy-price shock from spreading into wages and other goods and services.

Pipeline attacks removed major supply

An attack on Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline cut about 4 million barrels a day from the global market, and the pipeline could remain out of service for weeks.

Refineries are a separate bottleneck

Even when crude oil is available, outages and attacks have reduced the world's ability to turn it into usable fuel, including a temporary shutdown at an ExxonMobil refinery near Chicago.

Heating oil could strain households

About 4 million Northeast households use heating oil, and a home using 1,000 gallons over winter could face a roughly $6,000 fuel bill at prices near $6 a gallon.

Hospitals lead debt sources

Nearly two-thirds of U.S. adults with medical debt said it was connected to hospital care, while others cited doctors' visits, lab work or diagnostic tests.

Bills can be challenged

Consumers can dispute charges they believe are wrong and may be able to negotiate payment plans with their insurer or healthcare provider when coverage is denied.

Most countries expect job losses

Fewer jobs was the most common answer in 34 of the 37 countries surveyed, while Nigeria was the only country where more respondents expected job creation than job losses.

Inequality fears remain strong

In the U.S., 46% expected AI to widen the rich-poor gap, compared with 21% who expected little change and 5% who thought it would make the country more equal.

Tools must work separately

Websites using Google's publisher ad server cannot be required to use AdX, the company's exchange for buying and selling online ads.

AdX fees drew scrutiny

Publishers were paying Google a 20% fee to sell advertising through AdX, a practice that helped drive the government's concerns about fair competition.

Advertising still dominates revenue

Google made $294.7 billion from advertising out of $402.8 billion in total revenue last fiscal year, even though advertising's share has fallen from earlier years.

The bug affects every configuration

Cisco says the vulnerability applies to affected ISE and ISE-PIC versions regardless of how the devices are configured.

The conference opposes vaccines

RFK Jr.'s appearance places his remarks in a gathering organized around opposition to vaccination.

Measles remains highly contagious

When vaccination levels fall, measles can spread quickly among people who are not protected.

The excerpt gives no totals

The provided text does not say how many measles cases have been reported or identify the conference's location.

Routine makes distance manageable

A predictable Friday mailing turned an emotional separation into a weekly ritual the parent could actively maintain.

Familiar objects can unlock grief

The PowerBars were not special in themselves, but years of packing them for her son made seeing them suddenly feel like proof that he was gone.

Whales face two major hazards

North Atlantic right whales are especially vulnerable to becoming tangled in fishing gear or being struck by ships, the species’ main threats.

Real seawater creates tougher deposits

Unlike simple laboratory saltwater, seawater contains magnesium, calcium, and other substances that can form hard, clogging mineral scale.

The panel separates work areas

Its active region absorbs sunlight and evaporates water, while untreated passive regions collect the minerals so salt does not block the evaporation surface.

Solid salts could become resources

Collecting minerals in solid form could allow some to be used as table salt and others, including potentially lithium, to be recovered for industrial uses.

The inquiry covered 60 people

Investigators interviewed more than 60 people, including head coach Bill Belichick, and examined allegations involving drugs, relationships and NCAA issues.

Specific findings remain undisclosed

Separate player cases continue

Keeyun Chapman was suspended indefinitely after a concealed-weapon charge, while C.J. Sadler was charged with speeding after police reported finding about 15 grams of marijuana in the vehicle.

The pendulum moved dramatically

Under-center usage fell from 74% of snaps in 2007 to 29% in 2023 before climbing to 35% in 2025.

Defenses helped drive the change

Defenses increasingly spread out to stop explosive plays, encouraging offenses to use heavier personnel and attack the resulting matchups against linebackers.

The quarterback must relearn details

Moving from the shotgun requires quarterbacks to take drops, read the field and throw accurately after receiving the snap from under center.

Houston fills a major gap

Houston is the largest metropolitan area in the United States without an NHL franchise, even though it already supports several major professional teams.

Austin offers a first-mover edge

Austin has only one major professional men’s team, Austin FC, so an NHL club could become one of the city’s first major sports anchors rather than competing with a crowded lineup.

The plan costs billions

The Friedkin family has agreed to invest about $3.5 billion, covering both the expansion fee and the construction costs for an NHL arena.

TV stations triggered review

Because Paramount owns 28 television stations, it needed FCC permission for foreign ownership above 25%.

Voting control stays domestic

The Ellison family and RedBird Capital Partners are set to own all of the combined company’s voting stock.

The naming plan was blocked

Judge Cooper had already ruled that the board could not put Trump’s name on the front of the building.

Opinions split by age

A July Economist/YouGov poll found 43% of U.S. adult citizens said Israel was committing genocide against Palestinian civilians, compared with 55% of adults under 30.

Several regions saw sharp declines

Visitor numbers fell 25.5% from Africa, 20.6% from Central America and 14.8% from Western Europe.

The drop followed July's decline

August marked a second consecutive monthly decrease after inbound tourism fell 7% year over year in July.

World Cup hopes fell short

Visitor numbers connected to the summer World Cup also came in below expectations, adding to the disappointing tourism season.

Budget fares limit recovery

Because these airlines compete by offering very cheap tickets, raising prices enough to cover fuel increases could drive away the customers they rely on.

Several carriers share exposure

The trade group represents Allegiant, Frontier Airlines, Avelo Air, and Breeze Airways, showing that the pressure affects multiple budget-focused airlines.

Relief depends on Washington

The industry has asked congressional offices about temporary assistance, but the article says there is little appetite in Washington to act.

Airlines support defense planning

Through the Civil Reserve Air Fleet program, participating US carriers can provide planes to the Department of Defense when military aircraft are insufficient, in exchange for favorable treatment on defense contracts.

The rule is globally common

The 1944 Chicago Convention lets countries block foreign airlines from domestic routes, and similar restrictions exist in places including Canada, Australia, India, China, Brazil, and the European Union.

Fewer rivals can mean delays

One study cited by the government found that reducing a route from three airlines to two was associated with a 25% increase in average delays and a 7% rise in cancellations.

Reserved slots could disappear

Current rules let centers reserve up to 3% of places for children experiencing homelessness or living in foster care.

Overhead limits would tighten

The proposal would lower the administrative spending cap from 15% to 5%, with the administration estimating $2.2 billion in savings for Head Start.

Paperwork may block enrollment

Today, homeless children can enroll without documents such as birth certificates and receive time to gather them while attending care.

Gains reached disadvantaged groups

Black and Hispanic students, along with students in high-poverty schools, accounted for much of the reading improvement.

Math recovery is uneven

Math scores steadily improved for students in kindergarten through fifth grade from 2021 to 2026, while middle school scores stalled between 2025 and 2026.

Older students remain at risk

Separate assessments found major reading declines among U.S. 15-year-olds and lower math and reading scores for 12th graders compared with 2019.

Persistence improved most for high-poverty schools

Among students from high-poverty schools who started college, 76% returned for a second year, up from 74.3% for the previous cohort.

Two-year access also increased

The share of high-poverty-school graduates enrolling within two years rose from 56.6% to 58.7%, a measure that includes students who do not start college immediately.

Urban schools posted the largest rise

Within-two-year enrollment among urban-school graduates climbed from 65.2% to 67.1%, compared with smaller increases in rural and suburban schools.

Discount programs can fail

A 2023 congressional investigation found uninsured patients paid nearly $100 on average despite Eli Lilly’s $25-per-vial promise, partly because savings cards had restrictions and cheaper products were often out of stock.

Private plans have major gaps

The federal cap covers Medicare but not private insurance, while state caps generally do not cover large employers’ self-funded health plans.

The cap reaches few people

One estimate found about 775,000 privately insured insulin users were protected by state caps in 2025, compared with more than 1 million in those states who were not.

Protection usually starts later

Children normally receive their first MMR dose at 12 months, but during an outbreak they may be vaccinated as early as six months.

Two doses work best

One MMR dose is about 93% effective against measles, compared with 97% effectiveness after two doses.

Some people cannot vaccinate

Unvaccinated pregnant people and many immunocompromised people generally should not receive MMR because it uses a weakened live virus.

Research remains very limited

A 2025 systematic review found only 10 studies involving 213 people, and all were rated poor quality.

Snoring has several causes

Snoring happens when relaxed throat tissues vibrate in a narrowed airway, and taping the lips does not directly stop the tongue from falling backward.

Some conditions make it unsafe

Nasal blockage, allergies, colds, reflux, or nighttime vomiting can make forced nose breathing difficult or raise the risk of breathing stomach contents into the lungs.
