What if Washington declared that your money isn’t actually yours?

The Department of Justice claimed in court that cash isn’t legally your property.

Washington thinks it can seize, freeze, or drain your accounts whenever it wants. Savings and retirement money sit in that line of fire.

People are already moving to keep their wealth out of Washington’s reach before the next financial lockdown.

Oil is bid and the index tape is flat. SPY +0.04%, QQQ −0.17%, IWM +0.01% premarket (~07:30 ET), USO +1.5%, XLE +0.7%.

THE HEADLINE THAT MATTERS TODAY

A weekend strike on Riyadh put the oil premium back in the tape two days before CPI.

SeekingAlpha via QuoteMedia · Oct 12, 2026 05:45 ET. “Saudi Arabia Under Attack: $100 Oil Could Persist Well Into 2027”

An attack hit King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh on Oct 10. Saudi authorities reported 12 deaths and 309 injuries. Houthis claimed it, and two tankers were hit over the weekend (Reuters). Brent was $105.48 and WTI $92.44 late Sunday. Premarket: USO +1.5%, XLE +0.7%, XOM +0.9%, while UAL −0.35% and QQQ −0.17%.

Who’s exposed: fuel buyers (airlines like UAL) and rate-sensitive tech if hot oil feeds Wednesday’s CPI.

Next: JPM Q3 Tue ~7:00 AM ET, CPI Wed 8:30 AM ET.

Wrong if: USO gives back its premarket gain by the 9:30 open and XLE trades red. That would mean the weekend premium was already priced.
