  Plains All American has encountered crude oil quality issues in pipelines connecting the Permian Basin to Corpus Christi, Texas, due to high levels of mercaptans, or sulfur compounds. Starting Oct. 1, Plains will impose a 50-cent-per-barrel fee for oil that fails to meet mercaptan specifications. Although the company is still investigating the cause, the issue could lead Gulf Coast refiners to seek alternative sources of Midland crude.

  ABC takes Jimmy Kimmel off the air over Charlie Kirk comments. The network said that Jimmy Kimmel Live would be “pre-empted indefinitely” following backlash over comments the host made on the show that the “MAGA gang” was trying to characterize Kirk’s alleged murderer as “anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.” ABC’s decision came after Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr threatened to take action against ABC affiliate stations and after station owner Nexstar—which owns 28 ABC affiliates—said it objected to the statements and would show different programming.

• Hurricane Gabrielle to threaten millions along East Coast as map reveals projected path
  A tropical depression has erupted in the Atlantic and forecasters warn...

  A tropical depression has erupted in the Atlantic and forecasters warn it could soon turn into the next named hurricane to threaten the US East Coast.

  
  

  Officials announced that Tropical Depression Seven formed around 5am ET Wednesday morning, the first step before severe weather systems become a named storm. Depressions are the beginnings of a tropical cyclone, where a low-pressure area forms with thunderstorms and relatively low winds.

  
  

  However, meteorologists said Seven is quickly building into a tropical storm, with sustained winds of 35 mph and growing stronger, and it could officially become Gabrielle by Wednesday night.

  
  

  The National Hurricane Center (NHC) expects the storm to reach hurricane strength by this weekend, with winds exceeding 75 mph.
