bakhmut in ukraine. and the reason this matters, jake, is because the fight for bakhmut, as has become the case with much of the war in ukraine, has become a war of attrition that military and intelligence officials increasingly say is really likely to turn on access to artillery ammunition, which side is able to sustain its supply of artillery ammunition the longest. one senior western intelligence official that i spoke to earlier today said in bakhmut alone, the two sides are spending up to multiple thousands of rounds of ammunition a day, which is just staggering. so what north korea is doing here is really helping wagner, and by extension the russian side, perpetuate this fight in bakhmut that our sources say has left this part of ukraine looking like they re done. will the weapons and ammunition from north korea make a difference in ukraine? not necessarily from a broader strategic perspective. the fight in bakhmut specifically is not seen, even if russia is able to
cnn has now spoken with two secret service sources who both say they also heard about a confrontation in the presidential suv that day, a story they say was spreading widely inside the agency in the weeks and months that followed january 6th. they say trump indeed demanded to be taken to the capitol, and when the secret service said no to the trip, trump berated his secret service detail. despite that corroboration, trump and his allies have been working in overdrive to discrept hutchinson s testimony about what she saw and heard on january 6th. this lady yesterday, there s something wrong with her. is there something wrong? the woman is living in fantasy land. she s a social climber, if you call that social. she s got serious problems. let me put it that way, mental problems. what d you make of fox news? for this girl to sit there and just i think just make up and again, i hardly know who she is. of course she was a top staffer to the chief of staff at that tim
health care there. then the doctor that performed the procedure got in trouble, or at least didn t really get in trouble, didn t do one thing wrong but the attorney general starts looking into her. when you hear stories like that, voters hear it, regular people hear it. and i think that s what was resonating with them. they want to be able to make their own decisions on reproductive health care. and i don t think we could put in their minds what they thought of restrictions or not. i just think that the views that we re seeing is what they voted on, right? we ve got people including actually senator mcconnell who ve said they want to put a ban into law, a ban, outright ban. we have governors in states like texas who have talked about putting even more restrictions in place. states like missouri where someone proposed criminalizing it, where people have proposed suing people when they cross lines or not allowing them to get their own health care in other states. all these thin

investors a scare by reporting a stunning drop in earnings, largely because of supply chain turmoil and rising costs. target lost 25% of its value today alone. its worst day since black monday in 1987. this comes a day after walmart sounded the inflation alarm, also suffering its worst day since 1987. the big concern is companies are having trouble passing along higher costs consumers and that perhaps corporate profitability has peaked. that s normally something you only see during big economic slowdowns. put all this together, you have the s&p 500 losing the most in one day since june of 2020, in nearly two years. the nasdaq plunging even deeper into a bear market. i should note markets were up big yesterday, but the wild swings really speak to the deep uncertainty about what comes next for the economy. and matt, a new conference board survey suggests, you know what, let s move on. matt egan, thank you so much. turning to our politics lead and an election cliffhanger in pe
