Daily U.S. crude output is about to hit the eight-digit mark again, nearly half a century after it last did. By the end of the year, the U.S. may well be the world’s biggest oil producer, and with that, it would take a big step toward energy independence. But the shift would scramble geopolitics. A new world energy order could emerge. That shuffling will be good for America—not so much for the planet.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller is almost done with the part of his probe focused on whether President Donald Trump obstructed justice, sources say. Mueller’s moving at a far faster pace than previously known and appears to be wrapping up at least that one key part of his investigation. Other elements, such as whether Trump or anyone close to him helped Russia interfere in the election, will likely continue for months. Meanwhile, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner won’t agree to an interview in a parallel probe by a Senate panel, its chairman says.

New York City apartments are finally getting cheaper. After years of relentless rent hikes, New York City landlords across all price ranges are finding they must reverse course to woo tenants whose incomes haven’t climbed as fast. According to StreetEasy data, the discounts aren’t limited to Manhattan. In Brooklyn’s trendy Greenpoint neighborhood, 35 percent of apartments got cuts.

If Trump testifies under oath to Mueller, his “attorneys should should grab their worry beads,” writes Bloomberg View executive editor Timothy L. O’Brien, whom Trump sued for libel back in 2006 over a biography Trump said understated his wealth. (Trump lost.) “Trump ultimately had to admit 30 times that he had lied over the years about all sorts of stuff,” O’Brien writes. “Trump also has a well-known inability to stick to the facts and a tendency to dissemble and improvise.”

But don't fret. Star sommelier Robert Bohr has advice on how to avoid common pitfalls. For starters: Don’t be afraid to speak up about your budget.
