China’s biggest coffee chain opens its first US locations
Luckin Coffee, the fast-growing chain that beat Starbucks at its own game in China, is entering the United States.
Its first two US locations are opening Monday — both in New York City — marking an escalation in competition against Starbucks and other coffee chains, such as Dutch Bros., that have successfully built a loyal following in targeting Gen Z drinkers with TikTok-worthy drinks at affordable prices.
Luckin’s website and social media accounts are promoting the openings with discounts and giveaways. The stores are located in Greenwich Village, near the bustling New York University campus, and in NoMad. Luckin didn’t respond to CNN’s request for comment.

Lululemon launches stunning attack on Costco and demands a trial by jury
-Lululemon has accused Costco of infringing on its intellectual property
-Scuba hoodies and sweatshirts, Define jackets and ABC pants have been 'faked'
Lululemon has filed a lawsuit against Costco in California, accusing the retailer of selling unauthorized “dupes” of its popular apparel, including Scuba hoodies, Define jackets, and ABC pants. The lawsuit claims these items, sold under Costco’s Kirkland brand and by other manufacturers like Danskin, Jockey, and Spyder, are “confusingly similar” to Lululemon’s designs and infringe on its trademarks and design patents.
Lululemon alleges that the lookalike products mislead consumers and damage its brand’s reputation. After sending cease-and-desist letters that Costco allegedly ignored, Lululemon is now seeking a jury trial, a halt to sales and advertising of the products, and compensation for lost profits.

Bob Vylan’s Israeli military chant prompts US visa cancellation and UK criminal probe
Members of the British rap punk duo Bob Vylan had their visas revoked by the United States and are under investigation by local police after leading a crowd to chant “death” to Israel’s military at a UK music festival this past weekend.
On Monday, US Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau said that the State Department “has revoked the US visas for the members of the Bob Vylan band in light of their hateful tirade at Glastonbury, including leading the crowd in death chants.”
He added on X that “foreigners who glorify violence and hatred are not welcome visitors to our country.”
The group was slated to go on a US tour beginning in late October, according to a post on Instagram.
The US State Department has instituted an aggressive visa restriction and revocation policy for alleged support of terrorism and anti-Semitism.
Rapper Bobby Vylan took to Glastonbury Festival’s third-biggest West Holts Stage on Saturday, shouting “Free, free Palestine,” before leading crowds to chants against the Israeli military. Video showed the rapper shouting into the mic, “Alright, but have you heard this one though? Death, death to the IDF (Israel Defense Forces).”
The artist also performed in front of a screen that displayed a message which read: “United Nations have called it a genocide. The BBC calls it a ‘conflict,’” referring to the UK’s public broadcaster that showed the festival live.
In a Sunday Instagram post captioned “I said what I said,” Bobby Vylan said he had received “messages of both support and hatred” following the performance.
“Teaching our children to speak up for the change they want and need is the only way that we make this world a better place,” the post read. “As we grow older and our fire possibly starts to dim under the suffocation of adult life and all its responsibilities, it is incredibly important that we inspire future generations to pick up the torch that was passed to us.”
CNN has contacted Vylan for comment.
Bob Vylan’s chants at the festival have also prompted outcry among top British officials, and British police are reviewing video footage of their set. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that “there is no excuse for this kind of appalling hate speech.”
The Israeli Embassy in the UK said it was “deeply disturbed” by what it called “inflammatory and hateful” rhetoric at the festival.
A BBC spokesperson told CNN Sunday that some of the comments made during Vylan’s performance were “deeply offensive.” The broadcaster streamed the rapper’s set live but said it had no plans to make the performance available on demand through its iPlayer streaming platform.
On Monday, the BBC admitted that “with hindsight” Vylan’s performance should have been pulled from air during the performance, saying that the corporation “respects freedom of expression but stands firmly against incitement to violence.”
“The antisemitic sentiments expressed by Bob Vylan were utterly unacceptable and have no place on our airwaves,” it added.
Bob Vylan’s music incorporates a variety of genres with lyrics that often confront social issues such as racism, sexism, and economic inequality.

Oracle stock jumps after $30 billion annual cloud deal revealed in filing
-Oracle shares jumped after a recent filing showed a cloud deal that would add more than $30 billion annually starting in the fiscal 2028 year.
-CEO Safra Catz is expected to share the deal news at a company meeting.
-Oracle shares have jumped more than 33% this year, benefiting from cloud growth and the rise of artificial intelligence models.
Oracle shares jumped 4% to an all-time high after a recent filing showed a cloud deal that would add more than $30 billion annually.
CEO Safra Catz is expected to share the deal news at a company meeting Monday, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The revenues are expected to start hitting in the 2028 fiscal year.
“Oracle is off to a strong start in FY26,” Catz is expected to say, according to the filing. “Our MultiCloud database revenue continues to grow at over 100%, and we signed multiple large cloud services agreements including one that is expected to contribute more than $30 billion in annual revenue starting in FY28.”
The deals Catz is expected to reveal Monday will not affect the company’s 2026 guidance, according to the filing.
Shares have jumped more than 33% this year, benefiting from cloud growth and the rise of artificial intelligence models. Earlier this month, the company closed out its best week since 2001 following strong earnings.
Oracle has announced a slew of AI deals in recent months, including the joint Stargate venture with OpenAI and SoftBank to invest billions in bolstering AI infrastructure.
The company is also working on an iteration in the United Arab Emirates and announced a new AI partnership with IBM last month.

@realDonaldTrump
Jerome “Too Late” Powell, and his entire Board, should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this to happen to the United States. They have one of the easiest, yet most prestigious, jobs in America, and they have FAILED — And continue to do so. If they were doing their job properly, our Country would be saving Trillions of Dollars in Interest Cost. The Board just sits there and watches, so they are equally to blame. We should be paying 1% Interest, or better!

Open North Carolina Senate seat poised to be a 2026 blockbuster race
Republican Senator Thom Tillis has announced he will not seek reelection in 2026, opening up a highly competitive Senate seat in North Carolina. This has triggered a political scramble on both sides:
-On the Democratic side, former Governor Roy Cooper is considering a run, while former Rep. Wiley Nickel has already entered the race.
-On the Republican side, Lara Trump, daughter-in-law of Donald Trump, is “taking a strong look” at running and would have the Trump family’s backing if she does.
-Other potential GOP contenders include RNC Chair Michael Whatley and Rep. Pat Harrigan.
North Carolina is seen as a key battleground, and Tillis’ departure transforms the race into a top-tier contest for control of the Senate in 2026. The Cook Political Report has already shifted its rating of the race from “Lean Republican” to “Toss-Up.”

Yea I wasn't sure at first but she's good on Fox, being a Senator is much easier for someone like Lara (big brain).
>who gets the money from the Fed interest?
All excess money after maintenance costs goes into the US Treasury. Foreigners and private companies can buy US treasury securities.
So to answer your question, it would be the top 10 buyers of US Treasury securities which are:
1 🇯🇵Japan $1.13 trillion
2 🇨🇳 China (Mainland) $784.3 billion
3 🇬🇧 United Kingdom $750.3 billion
4 🇰🇾 Cayman Islands $417.8 billion
5 🇱🇺 Luxembourg $412.5 billion
6 🇨🇦 Canada $406.1 billion
7 🇧🇪 Belgium $394.7 billion
8 🇫🇷 France $354.0 billion
9 🇮🇪 Ireland $339.0 billion
10 🇹🇼 Taiwan $294.8 billion
I literally just learned this shit answering your question.
