🇺🇸🇹🇼 Trump said Taiwan agreed to buy 30% of the gas from the new Alaska pipeline FOR 20 YEARS "It's one of the biggest commitments in history for anything." Taiwan’s state energy company has signed letters of intent for roughly 6M tons a year, matching about 30% of the planned export volume, as part of broader talks to raise its U.S. gas share.

🇺🇸 Treasury hit Bank of America with MORE THAN $1.21B in penalties for failing to stop money laundering FinCEN, the main anti-money-laundering unit, assessed $1.2B, the OCC added a record $750M credited toward the total, and OFAC settled for $11.6M over sanctions violations involving Iran, Russia, and others. The bank admitted it willfully broke anti-money-laundering rules and failed to report more than $5B in suspicious transactions on time, including over $1B linked to Chinese money-laundering networks. The penalty lands 1 day before the bank’s earnings report and follows a 2024 order to fix the same problems. The size of the miss is what stands out. Source: Treasury Dept. / Writer: Lucas

🇺🇲 SIX FLAGS IS TAKING A BEATING ON WALL STREET. Six Flags shares fell as much as 16% today, 1 day after a deadly accident at one of the company’s theme parks in Georgia. The company was already in rough financial shape after losing about HALF its value in the past year. Among its major investors is a group that includes NFL's TRAVIS KELCE, whose investors hold about 9% of the company. Six Flags also tapped Kelce as a BRAND AMBASSADOR earlier this year. But even his star power can’t save the swift decline of Six Flags’s value. Source: Yahoo Finance / Writer: Marie

🇵🇰🇹🇷🇸🇦 Pakistan and Turkey activated the Mecca pact to defend Saudi, but both are STAYING OUT of the Yemeni battlefield. Pakistani forces are already in Saudi under the trilateral defense agreement, with officials pledging to defend the kingdom and its holy sites. Yet Islamabad says its troops will NOT enter Yemen to fight the Houthis and denies reports of Pakistani airstrikes. Turkey has offered mainly technical and defensive support, while parliamentary approval for troop deployments remains incomplete. The pact treats an attack on 1 member as an attack on all, following Houthi strikes on Saudi airports and energy sites. Pakistan refused combat deployments in 2015, and both countries are again drawing a line between defending Saudi territory and fighting inside Yemen.

🇺🇸 The judge, while sentencing Keffe D to 40 years to life in prison: “You don't get to take a man from his family. You don't get to take his very life, his whole future, from him and just walk away from it... especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.” Okay, I take exception to that! What happened to justice being blind? “Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur?!” Tell that to all of the other innocent people who have been murdered, whose families still haven’t seen, and probably never will see justice! Tupac was a man whose job was in entertainment. His life wasn’t more valuable just because he was famous. Writer: Jamie t.co/5agJwZWH1Q

🚨🇾🇪 Houthis PUSH the siege on Yemen’s Taiz, grabbing the central prison and key heights while the city stays cut off The fighters have encircled Taiz after taking southern towns and pushing toward the gates and mountains that overlook it. Reports confirm they seized the central prison and are fighting on the southern ridges. Saudi-backed forces still hold the city proper and are striking back, but supplies are choked and tens of thousands have fled. Whoever controls those peaks sees everything coming in or out. Taiz has been under partial siege for most of this war, and another push on the heights just makes the next weeks inside the city tighter. Source: Yemen Press Agency / Writer: Lucas

🚨🇺🇸 Trump administration is pumping the brakes on the execution broadcast. It seems that cooler heads prevailed, and now officials are walking back the idea of live-streaming the execution of ex-Army major Nidal Hasan by firing squad. A lot of people are split… some think it’s good to show people the price for being a treasonous terrorist. Some think it’s wildly inappropriate. Would it be good, bad, or have any effects at all? All we know for sure is that the date is set for December 3! Source: CBS News / Writer: Jamie

🇮🇶🇸🇾🇮🇱 Israeli jets are SURGING over Syria and Iraq as Netanyahu and Trump reportedly discuss another Iran strike. Local reports and Iraqi officials have noted unusual Israeli Air Force flights, while Israeli media describe the activity as readiness drills rather than imminent strikes on Lebanon. Channel 12 reported that Netanyahu raised a joint attack on Iran with Trump ahead of Israel’s October 27th election and the U.S. midterms on November 3rd. The White House denied discussing a renewed war, and Trump said he wouldn’t strike Iran before the election. Iran has been running its own missile and air-defense drills, including recent ballistic launches, while Western assessments say it still has the factories to rebuild stocks. Both sides are moving aircraft and testing systems in the same window, the same pattern that showed up before the last round. Source: Channel 12, JFeed / Writer: Lucas

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 US bombers could be hitting Iran’s nuclear and missile sites once the midterms are over... Ian Bremmer says the blockade choking Iran's oil exports is why Tehran keeps hitting ships in the strait, and he sees a few days of US bomber strikes after the midterms as more likely now. The worry is Iran's answer: "Might they engage in strikes again against broader Gulf infrastructure, which is the biggest danger?" Is a few days of bombing worth giving Tehran a reason to go after Gulf energy again? @ianbremmer

🇺🇸 Katie Zacharia’s first briefing had a rough start, and people are already comparing her to the last Democratic press secretary who struggled at the podium At the time, her briefings drew widespread criticism for vague responses and heavy reliance on pre-written points, even from reporters covering the Biden White House. That bar was already low compared to Karoline Leavitt, who handled the room without notes, pushed back hard, and left with praise from people who covered her for being sharp and in the loop. Whether Zacharia tightens that gap or the old standard keeps defining the job is still playing out. Writer: Lucas t.co/KJyFBpLO8z

🇾🇪🇸🇦 The Houthis now put the price of peace at a full Saudi withdrawal from Yemen, with three Saudi provinces on the list if Riyadh keeps bombing... Hussein al-Bukhaiti, a Yemeni commentator close to the Houthis, says the old demand was simple, implement the 2023 roadmap and lift the blockade, but the Saudi strike on Sanaa airport in July changed the ask to total withdrawal plus compensation for everything destroyed since 2015. Najran, Jizan and Asir go on the target list if the bombing continues, and Yemen would treat them as its own: "If Yemen at one point will enter those areas, we will not withdraw." He counts 159 Saudi strikes on Sanaa airport against 3 Houthi strikes on Riyadh, and says the 2034 World Cup is finished if the war goes on. Every week Riyadh waits, the bill for ending this climbs, and nobody's army is coming to bring it down. @HussainBukhaiti @WeTheBrandon

🇺🇸 The Squad Democrat group in Congress introduces a bill to ABOLISH ICE, Border Patrol, and the entire Department of Homeland Security in one shot. Rep. Delia Ramirez’s Reimagining Safety Act would replace DHS with a new Department of Community Safety. Airport security and disaster response would remain, while border wall funding would end and Guantánamo would close. Rashida Tlaib is an original cosponsor. The bill follows the search of Ilhan Omar’s DC home and an ICE shooting in New York, both cited by Ramirez as reasons to dismantle the department. Calls to abolish ICE have been around for years, but turning a raid over one lawmaker’s childhood paperwork into the reason to scrap the whole border system is a new level.

Washington guarded the Gulf for eight decades, and the Saudis are now interviewing replacements. @ianbremmer

🚨🇺🇸 Trump is backing away from livestreaming the Fort Hood killer's firing squad execution after Republicans called it jihadist behavior Administration officials told CBS News they are now leaning against broadcasting Nidal Hasan's Dec. 3 execution, and Trump has not made a final call. Hegseth announced the livestream last Thursday and Trump said Friday he "absolutely" approved it, but by the weekend he was telling reporters the decision was his alone. The pushback came from his own side. Mike Johnson, Thom Tillis and John Curtis objected, Rep. Austin Scott wrote that "livestreaming executions is what jihadists do," and Vance said he wouldn't watch. One official told Axios he'd bet Trump never authorizes it. Hasan still dies on Dec. 3 unless a federal court steps in. The real fight was whether America copies Iran and Afghanistan, the only countries that staged public executions last year, and it looks like the answer is no.
