Day: September 24, 2026

One goes into Stonestown in San Francisco in early 2027, the other into Valley Fair in Santa Clara late this year or early next.

The brand started in 2017, listed on Nasdaq last year, and now runs about 7,500 stores, most of them in China, with more across Southeast Asia.

It opened in Los Angeles first and stayed in Southern California before moving north.

Those 2 malls already have Heytea, Quickly and Coco.

Stonestown is still adding tenants after San Francisco’s old downtown Westfield closed.

Valley Fair sits in Santa Clara next to an Apple store.

Same week the 2 governments are doing a state visit, the everyday version is a tea counter in a shopping centre.

Their argument cuts straight into one of the internet’s ugliest unresolved fights: when platforms restrict controversial political speech, are they simply enforcing their rules… or quietly deciding which ideas millions of people are allowed to hear?

Because once censorship becomes political, the question gets uncomfortable FAST: who gets to decide which voices are too dangerous for everyone else to listen to?

The EU is extending sanctions on over 3,000 individuals for 36 months — until 2029. So no one can hijack the package every six months.
The price: Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman are removed.

Three capitals pulled the rope. France wanted Usmanov gonenational security. Luxembourg wanted Fridman gone  he’s suing the country for billions. Slovakia demanded the same logic. The Baltics and Nordics warned it opens the door for more. Latvia abstained so the package wouldn’t collapse at midnight.

Ukraine’s Andriy Sybiha: shameful and indefensible. Moscow celebrates division. He urges national sanctions on the two.
A diplomat told AFP it sends the message that pressure can buy you out.
The sanctions machine survived. Two of the heaviest names from 2022 did too — on the other side of the fence.
If something smells rotten, it’s not the list itself. It’s how it was opened.

Oil sitting in the ground or arriving by tanker means very little if refineries can’t turn enough of it into diesel. Tucker breaks down how refinery capacity and disruptions can squeeze the fuel supply long before most people notice what’s happening.

And diesel isn’t just another number at the gas station… It moves trucks, tractors and freight; so when its price climbs, the bill can quietly show up in groceries, deliveries and almost everything else you buy.

The real question?

Whether America has enough refining capacity when it actually needs it.
