Tesla ticks up slightly but there's a bigger supply chain story lurking underneath that the tech world hasn't fully reckoned with yet — and it connects to everything happening in the Middle East right now. Ukraine meanwhile is having a very productive week in places Russia thought were safe.

JD Vance is still on his European tour and sits down for an interview that goes about as well as you'd expect — a greatest hits of revisionist history, questionable math, and some truly bold takes on what counts as foreign interference.
