China’s stimulus barrage draws out cautious house hunters
BEIJING : The Chinese government’s flurry of stimulus measures has upended the country’s stock markets. The announcement of a news conference by China’s Ministry of Finance, set for Saturday, has kept those hopes alive. As long as property prices remain depressed, they say, Chinese consumers are less likely to spend. New-home sales by floor area soared 81% over the course of the week compared with a year earlier, the China Index Academy said. Home sales and property visits also jumped in China’s three other top-tier cities—Shanghai, Shenzhen and Guangzhou—which offered similar measures to stimulate home purchases.

Jamie Dimon warns of ‘treacherous’ geopolitical conditions that are ‘getting worse’
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon kicked off third-quarter earnings season Friday with a stern warning about geopolitical threats that could hurt the global economy. “Recent events show that conditions are treacherous and getting worse,” he wrote in a press release. Dimon’s reimagining of the axis is “working every day to make it worse for the Western world and for America,” he said. He’s repeatedly warned that rising government debt could stoke inflation and complicate the Federal Reserve’s ability to manage the economy. “Cash is a very valuable asset in a turbulent world,” said Dimon on Friday.

They Were Loyal Republicans — Until Trump and Abortion Bans
Here in Arizona, almost one-third of Republicans say they’ll support Proposition 139, a state ballot measure that would make abortion legal until about 24 weeks. Our state law reverted back to the previous law, which was from 1864.” “No one could quite believe it. I mean, it really came so quickly.” Passed during the Civil War when Arizona was still a territory, the 1864 law was a near-total ban on abortion. 2016, I voted for Trump; in 2020, voted for Trump, but I won’t vote for him again.” “President Trump prides himself in the fact that he dismantled Roe v. Wade. This time, I think that a lot of Arizonans feel, and I feel like our vote actually counts.”

Have We Strayed From ‘We the People’?
Politicians from both major parties have been accused of using their positions to benefit from well-timed stock trades. Can we trust that the people we elect are acting in the nation’s best interests when the evidence suggests otherwise? In contrast, Christopher Collins, a former Republican congressman, faced full legal consequences for insider trading. In 2012, the STOCK Act was introduced to increase transparency and curb insider trading among lawmakers. While it requires timely disclosure of stock trades by politicians, many lawmakers fail to comply, and enforcement has been lax.

How false claims of a ’complete gang takeover’ drew Trump to Aurora • Colorado Newsline
In announcing his visit, Trump called Aurora a “war zone,” echoing the overblown rhetoric that has for weeks prompted outrage, fear and derision among local residents. Along parts of its border with Denver, the city contains busy urban corridors and neighborhoods that have long struggled with crime. “Vibrant Colorado cities like Aurora provide rich culture, a great business environment, and thriving communities that help strengthen our Colorado way of life,” Gov. Crime rates in metro Denver and Colorado as a whole have been on a sustained decline since late 2022. “Trump is coming to Aurora to spread lies and score cheap political points,” Democratic U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet wrote earlier this week.
