BREW WITH MAJOR HEADLINES

Daily Brew

TOGETHER WITH

Policygenius

Good morning. Here’s an interesting stat: Trading volumes at major cryptocurrency exchanges fell more than 40% in June. Maybe buying dogecoin isn’t as fun as buying Yankee Candles in person.

*Stock data as of market close, cryptocurrency data as of 6:00pm ET. Here's what these numbers mean.

  • Markets: Stocks once again hit records as Q2 earnings season—and its sky-high expectations—begins today. Despite a successful flight on Sunday, Virgin Galactic (SPCE) shares plummeted when it revealed a plan to sell $500 million in stock.
  • Commodities: Wood you look at that—after a record surge, lumber just wiped out its entire gain for 2021 with supply/demand reverting to more typical levels.

Covid Won’t Leave Us Alone

Benedict Cumberbatch saying go away

Giphy

Hot girl summer has quickly transitioned to “warily watching Delta summer” as the highly contagious Covid-19 variant leads to higher case numbers and fresh lockdowns across the world. Here’s the latest.

Where curbs are being added 

Sydney, Australia, has been on lockdown since June 26 to slow a spike in cases, and regional leaders say the order could be extended past the original expiration date on Friday. “We just want people to stay at home. The virus won’t spread if people don’t leave home,” New South Wales state Premier Gladys Berejiklian said.

The Dutch prime minister apologized for an “error of judgement” when he lifted some pandemic restrictions three weeks ago. The country reinstituted curbs on eating and drinking establishments. 

Tokyo entered a state of emergency yesterday that will extend through the entire duration of the Olympics, and other parts of eastern Asia also reintroduced social distancing rules.

Boosters are here

Facing rising cases, this week Israel will become the first country in the world to administer a Covid-19 booster vaccine shot; it’ll be given to adults with serious preexisting conditions.

Medical workers in Thailand who have already been given two doses of China’s Sinovac vaccine will also be given shots of AstraZeneca’s vaccine as a booster. 

In the US, Dr. Fauci has said that booster shots aren’t recommended right now because a full vaccination regimen provides significant protection against serious illness.

But life goes on

While some places like Australia are trying to stamp out every single case, other (more vaccinated) countries are accepting Covid as a fact of life. Britain said it would continue with its plan to drop nearly all Covid-19 restrictions next week, but warned its citizens to keep wearing masks indoors.

In the US, which is more or less fully reopened for business, cases rose 47% last week, the biggest increase since April 2020. Experts warn that the number of deaths could soon rise in unvaccinated areas of the country, but for now they’re down 27% nationwide from two weeks ago.

Cubans Make Themselves Heard

TOPSHOT - Cubans are seen outside Havana's Capitol during a demonstratio...

Cuban police cracked down on protesters and blocked social media sites following this weekend’s demonstrations, which amounted to some of the largest anti-government protests in the country in decades. Thousands of Cubans marched Sunday to protest food shortages, power outages, surging prices, and the government’s handling of the pandemic.

Cuba’s economy fell 11% in 2020, the biggest annual decrease in almost 30 years. The crisis has pushed people to the brink—it’s very rare to see protests of this scale in Cuba, a country where the Communist regime keeps a close eye on dissidents. 

President Biden voiced support for the protestors. “We stand with the Cuban people and their clarion call for freedom...from the decades of repression and economic suffering to which they have been subjected by Cuba’s authoritarian regime,” he said yesterday. 

Big picture: Since 1958, the US has introduced varying levels of trade bans with Cuba. President Obama abstained from a symbolic UN vote opposing the US’ embargo on Cuba for the first time in US history, signaling a move to repair relations. But when Trump took office, he took a harder line and placed more sanctions on the country. President Biden has yet to reverse any of the Trump admin’s decisions.

The All-Star Game's New Digs

All-Star Game in Denver

The MLB All-Star festivities have the makings of dramatic reality TV: a smashing start with the Home Run Derby, a comeback after last year’s cancellation, and a switcheroo with economic and political implications. Last night, a commercial paid for by the National Republican Senatorial Committee reminded viewers that the game was supposed to take place in Georgia and blamed the “radical left woke crowd” for moving it.

The backstory: In April, the MLB said it was moving the All-Star Game from Georgia to Denver due to Georgia’s new voting law. The MLB said the law was at odds with the league's values and that it opposes restrictions on voting.

The MLB wasn’t the only corporate giant to publicly oppose the voting law. Delta and Coca-Cola, both based in Georgia, along with 72 Black executives around the country, spoke out against Georgia's and all other laws that would make it harder for Black, Latino, and other minority populations to vote.

Zoom out: A tourism board in Georgia said losing the game cost the state $100+ million in economic activity, though MLB estimates are slightly lower. Either way, Denver businesses are happy to play host.

Two grillmakers, one mass-market and one high-tech, recently filed to go public after seeing one too many sad hot dogs on the Fourth of July.

  • Weber: Boasting 23% of the US grill market and a legacy that started marinating in the ’50s, Weber is the Mustang of grills. When the company filed for an IPO yesterday, it said that revenue for the six months ending March 31 grew 62% annually to $963 million. It could go public at a valuation of up to $6 billion, per Bloomberg. 
  • Traeger: While Weber made its name with classic charcoal domes, younger rival Traeger is known for its smart grills that cost up to $2,000. For that price, you get three tiers of wood-fired, stainless steel grilling action, all controllable by a smartphone or Apple Watch. Last week, Trager filed to go public and celebrated by buying app-connected meat thermometer company, Meater.

Zoom out: Grillmakers were positioned perfectly over the flame during the pandemic, when quarantined people fought boredom with hobbies like cooking. Speaking of, does anyone have a grilled banana bread recipe?

        

WHAT ELSE IS BREWING

  • The FDA is adding a warning to J&J’s Covid-19 vaccine about a link with a rare but potentially serious neurological disorder known as Guillain-Barre syndrome.   
  • Flipkart, the Indian e-commerce behemoth, raised $3.6 billion at a valuation of nearly $38 billion. The next step: IPO.
  • British lawmakers and soccer officials criticized social media platforms for allowing racial abuse of English players following their loss to Italy in the Euro final.
  • ByteDance, the China-based owner of TikTok, has reportedly shelved its IPO plans after being warned about data security by Chinese regulators.
  • The number of people who went hungry last year rose to include almost a third of the global population, a new UN report showed.

1 big thing: Trump unloads on Kavanaugh


Cover: Henry Holt

 

Former President Donald Trump, in a book out today by Michael Wolff, says he is "very disappointed" in votes by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, his own hard-won nominee, and that he "hasn’t had the courage you need to be a great justice."

  • "There were so many others I could have appointed, and everyone wanted me to," Trump told Wolff in an interview for the cheekily titled "Landslide."
  • "Where would he be without me? I saved his life. He wouldn't even be in a law firm. Who would have had him? Nobody. Totally disgraced. Only I saved him."

Between the lines: After the election, as Axios' Jonathan Swan reported in his "Off the rails" series, Trump saved his worst venom for people who he believed owed him because he got them their jobs.

  • He would rant endlessly about the treachery of Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp, reminding people of how he shot up in the primary polls after Trump endorsed him.
  • Over lunches in the private dining room adjoining the Oval Office, Trump used to reminisce about how he saved Kavanaugh by sticking by him.
  • For Kavanaugh to not do Trump’s bidding on the matter of ultimate importance — overturning the election — was, in Trump's mind, a betrayal of the highest order.

Wolff writes that Trump feels betrayed by all three justices he put on the court, including Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett, but "reserved particular bile for Kavanaugh."

  • Recalling the brutal confirmation fight, Trump said: "Practically every senator called me ... and said, 'Cut him loose, sir, cut him loose. He’s killing us, Kavanaugh.' ... I said, 'I can’t do that.'"
  • "I had plenty of time to pick somebody else," Trump continued. "I went through that thing and fought like hell for Kavanaugh — and I saved his life, and I saved his career. At great expense to myself ... okay? I fought for that guy and kept him."

"I don’t want anything ... but I am very disappointed in him, in his rulings," Trump said.

  • "I can’t even believe what's happening. I'm very disappointed in Kavanaugh. I just told you something I haven’t told a lot of people. In retrospect, he just hasn't had the courage you need to be a great justice. I’m basing this on more than just the election."

Wolff gives an entertaining account of what it was like for the book authors who were given Trump interviews at Mar-a-Lago:

It's called the Living Room, but it's in fact the Mar-a-Lago lobby, a vaulted-ceiling rococo grand entrance, part hunting lodge, part Renaissance palazzo. But it is really the throne room. ... He sits, in regulation dark suit and shiny baby-blue or fire-red tie, on a low chair in the center of the room, his legs almost daintily curled to the side, seeing a lineup of supplicants or chatting on the phone, all public conversations.

And why would Trump talk to Wolff, who wrote two earlier bestsellers with devastating accounts of Trump dysfunction?

  • "The fact that he was talking to me might only reasonably be explained by his absolute belief that his voice alone has reality-altering powers," Wolff writes.
  • Trump told Wolff: "I don’t blame you. I blame my people."

3. Space goes mass market

Richard Branson and Jeff Bezos are thrusting space into a new era of marketing for mass appeal, Axios Space author Miriam Kramer writes.

  • "[T]he public face of the space industry is no longer NASA," Secure World Foundation's Brian Weeden said, warning that criticism of billionaires could bleed into American support for space exploration.
  • NASA is also supporting the efforts of private companies, looking to become more of a buyer of services in orbit, while using its resources to push deeper into space with missions to the Moon and Mars.

Virgin Galactic's webcast Sunday of Richard Branson's flight to the edge of space — instead of highlighting technical details, like NASA launches from Cape Canaveral — was a form of entertainment and advertising.

  • The company tried to draw in potential customers with guest stars, including Stephen Colbert and Khalid.

What to watch: Officials in other nations are taking note of the influence billionaires have on U.S. efforts in space.

  • "I hope that someday our billionaire oligarchs will begin to spend their money not on the next yachts and vanity fairs, but on the development of space technologies and knowledge about space," Dmitry Rogozin, the head of Russia's space agency, said on Twitter.

4. New payments to families begin this week

On Thursday, the Treasury Department begins monthly payments to families with children, a program created by the COVID stimulus in March, the N.Y. Times' Jason DeParle reports (subscription).

  • Why it matters: "With all but the most affluent families eligible to receive up to $300 a month per child, the United States will join many other rich countries that provide a guaranteed income for children ... Experts estimate the payments will cut child poverty by nearly half, an achievement with no precedent."

The Treasury Department said 39 million households — covering 88% of U.S. children — will automatically begin receiving monthly payments through the expanded Child Tax Credit. The program is scheduled to expire in a year.

Between the lines: "The unconditional payments ... break with a quarter century of policy. Since President Bill Clinton signed a 1996 bill to 'end welfare,' aid has gone almost entirely to parents who work," The Times reports.

  • Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) calls it "the most transformative policy coming out of Washington since the days of F.D.R."

5. Internet charges get new scrutiny

With medical bills increasingly under the microscope, Consumer Reports today will begin collecting price data from tens of thousands of customers who share monthly bills for home internet.

  • The goal of the project, Broadband Together, is to capture the price and speed of internet service in U.S. communities, and to analyze the factors that affect prices, Axios' Margaret Harding McGill writes.

"We know anecdotally that where there's competition, in general prices are lower," Jonathan Schwantes, senior policy counsel for Consumer Reports, told Axios.

  • If the bills show consumers with only one provider pay higher prices, he added, "then we can make the case for government intervention.

At least 51 Democrats in the Texas House fled Austin yesterday to try to block Republicans from passing a restrictive new voting law — and set up camp in D.C. until the 30-day special legislative session ends on Aug. 6.

  • Why it matters: The remarkable move was cheered on by national Democrats, including Vice President Harris, "and thrusts the minority party back into the national spotlight as partisan battles over voting rights rage across the nation," The Dallas Morning News reports.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) told KVUE, Austin: "As soon as they come back in the state of Texas, they will be arrested. They will be cabined inside the Texas Capitol until they get their job done."

9. 🕶️ Larry Elder joins California race

Conservative radio talk show host Larry Elder entered California's Sept. 14 recall election, bringing a well-known voice on the political right to a muddled Republican field trying to oust first-term Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, AP's Mike Blood writes.

  • Elder, 69, whose show is nationally syndicated, is a regular on Fox News. He's a Black man in a national GOP dominated by white leaders.

Elder said he decided to enter his first campaign after witnessing California's out-of-control homeless crisis, spiking crime rates, looming water and power shortages, and whipsaw coronavirus lockdowns.

  • "I know it's a long shot," he added, referring to Newsom's ability to raise unlimited funds.

Elder brings celebrity to a large GOP field that has no front-runner — former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer; businessman John Cox, who was defeated by Newsom in 2018; state Assemblyman Kevin Kiley; former Olympian Caitlyn Jenner; and former U.S. Rep. Doug Ose.
