Jamie Dimon: Why I Like Ted Lasso So Much
In Ted Lasso, Jamie Dimon sees humility, teamwork,
and the need to listen and learn
By Yiannis DamellosSource: FortuneNovember 8, 2026There is something rather unusual about Jamie Dimon, the longtime chief executive of JPMorgan Chase, choosing a fictional football coach as an example of how to run one of America's largest corporations. But Dimon has a point, and it has less to do with football and more with human nature.

The laws of physics at the quantum level can break free from the standard confines of solids, liquids, and gases, and researchers just observed an exotic quantum state of matter – a particular way of particles organizing and behaving themselves.
Donald Trump’s ‘60 Minutes’ Interview Was A Mixture Of Denial, Reflection And Contradiction Following Midterm Drubbing

CBS News
In his first sit-down interview since his midterm drubbing, Donald Trump insisted on 60 Minutes that candidates would have done better had he been on the ballot.
He blamed voters’ dismal views of the economy on “bad messaging.” And he ran through a number of explanations for why he made $3 billion since the start of his second term, feeding into the corruption storyline that proved to be so important at the ballot box.

PART TWO: The Joke That Needed a Press Release

So let me get this straight. The President of the United States posts on a Saturday that Dana White — the UFC guy, the man whose entire management style is "punch first, ask questions while you're bleeding" — is going to be the next White House Press Secretary. He doesn't just float the name. Oh no. He gets an answer from White, with a picture on it. He gives us the whole cabinet of carnage. He calls White a "violent Fighter and Warrior." He says we need them to "defend us against the Lunatic Left." That's not a joke. That's a staffing plan with a body count.Then Sunday rolls around. The sun comes up in West Palm Beach. The phones start ringing. And suddenly, miraculously, it's all: "I was only kidding!"

Dana Who? Trump Picks Dana White as Press Secretary, Accidentally Starts a Cage Match With Himself

Donald Trump, 80, has a vacancy at the White House podium, a Truth Social account, and apparently, zero fear of nominative confusion. On Saturday, he solved the vacancy the way he solves everything in 2026: by posting an AI-generated photo and begging. “Dana, please take the job!”
The Great Drama of a Sore Loser Accusing Everyone Of Conspiring Against Him When He is the Only One to Blame

There was a time when leaders who lost elections would take the stage, shake their opponent's hand, mumble something about "the voice of the people," and quietly retreat to write their memoirs or play golf. But that is ancient history. In today's political arena, losing a midterm election in a landslide doesn't mean you actually lost; no, Cherie!!! It just means the entire universe conspired, extorted, and waged "lawfare" to hurt the feelings of the most sensitive and misunderstood people on the planet: your billionaire donors.
Infowar: The New Spy Recruitment Campaign Has Been Announced
American and Israeli intelligence agencies are increasingly issuing public calls to recruit new agents in hostile countries. Some view it as imperial arrogance, while others see it as proof of the decline of the world's largest intelligence services.Efsyn.grNovember 8, 2026, 21:08Aris Chatzistefanou
There are many statements by Donald Trump that will go down in history. Few, however, encapsulate the strategic deadlock into which he led one of the largest war machines in human history.

For over a century, scientists believed the central stone hailed from Wales, but a dramatic 2024 study published in Nature pointed 700 kilometres north to the Orcadian Basin in northeast Scotland. However, a comprehensive follow-up investigation published in the Journal of the Geological Society on November 5, 2026, has upended that conclusion. [1, 2, 3]

No Sorry, No More: Trump Inflicted Maximum Midterms Pain on Himself. Canada Simply Refused to Fold

POLITICO is trying to convince its readers that Canadian leaders explored a new source of bargaining power — the electoral calendar — while testing strategies to confront an increasingly adversarial neighbour in Donald Trump. If that's what they believe, they can suit themselves, but it ain't the truth. In my opinion, Washington made a huge mistake by picking a fight with its closest trading partner, underestimating Canada's alternatives and eventually discovering that American voters were not prepared to pay the price for a president's political obsessions. Mark Carney understood the situation. Trump apparently did not.

When you think about cyberattacks, your mind probably jumps straight to stolen passwords, drained corporate bank accounts or maybe even locked computer screens. One thing that rarely, if ever, comes to mind is the idea that hackers would target refrigerators in grocery stores.

When Politics and Private Money Collide: Paraguay's Banking Crisis Brings Down a President
By Mars Strangelove Jr. on Duty
November 7, 2026
Former President Santiago Peña is ordered into pretrial detention over allegations that he used government influence to protect a lender in which he held financial interests. The collapse of digital lender ueno exposes a troubling relationship between political authority, private banking, public deposits and regulatory institutions.
Paraguay's banking crisis has taken an extraordinary turn. Former President Santiago Peña, removed from office on Friday, has been ordered into pretrial detention at a military facility, as prosecutors investigate allegations that he used the authority of his office to protect the interests of a financial institution with which he had personal business connections. The collapse of digital lender ueno has become much more than a banking scandal. It has opened an investigation into the relationship between political power and private capital, and the extent to which public institutions may have been drawn into protecting private financial interests.

The shooting began in broad daylight, as a gunman drove through the heart of one of Europe's most celebrated historic cities, firing at random. Six people were killed, 16 wounded, and three more bodies would later be discovered at the suspect's home. Poland is now confronting an attack whose full dimensions remain shrouded in unanswered questions.
There are places in Europe where history seems almost tangible, where centuries of human activity have settled into the stones of streets and squares, and where the ordinary rhythm of daily life appears protected by the reassuring permanence of the past. Krakow's Main Market Square is one such place. On Saturday afternoon, November 7, that familiar sense of security was shattered by an eruption of violence that left six people dead and 16 injured.

In a setback to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his main rival will be tasked with forming the next Israeli government, placing him one step closer to ousting Israel’s longest-serving leader, even as the path remains complicated.
Gadi Eisenkot, a retired military chief who led the centrist Yashar party in the October 27 election, will have up to six weeks to try and assemble a coalition to replace Netanyahu. But his path to power is fraught with political obstacles and divisions within the opposition itself.
The 2026 Midterm Class War: How Bernie Sanders’ No Oligarchy Message Rewrote the Map
By Yiannis Damellos
November 7, 2026
Senator Bernie Sanders’ decade-long crusade against the corporate establishment reached a historic turning point following the 2026 midterm elections.
Ten years after his 2016 insurgent presidential campaign fractured the Democratic establishment, the 85-year-old iconoclast found vindication as a sweeping midterm victory handed control of both the House and Senate back to Democrats. This legislative shift came on the back of economic populist messages heavily championed by Sanders throughout the campaign trail.
