🇮🇱 Elon gives one of the most logical and balanced assessments of why Israel defends itself the way it does: “Unless you’re filtering for jihadis, you’re going to get jihadis, and they’re going to do jihad and kill people. Now, in Israel, they understand this quite well.” Many say a good offense is the best defense. Writer: Jamie t.co/kGt1Dx1oGu

🇮🇹 Italy's Meloni is CRACKING DOWN after violent riots left nearly 200 police officers injured and businesses trashed. Her government just approved sweeping new measures: Up to FIVE YEARS in prison and €20,000 in fines for participating in violent group riots. Parents could be forced to PAY for damage caused by their underage children. And Meloni says HALF of the 330 people arrested were of FOREIGN origin. The youngest suspect identified in Milan? Just 11 YEARS OLD. “There is nothing revolutionary about devastating and stealing.” Her message to rioters: destroy someone's livelihood, and expect the state to come after you.

🚨DAILY NEWS RECAP: Iran is dragging out talks on purpose to bleed Trump before the midterms... while a third carrier heads in and the Mecca Accord's 10-year lockup hits Turkey's parliament Pakistan’s army chief flew into Tehran with a plan Washington had reportedly already approved. Oil fell $6 on a Channel 12 report of a deal with secret IAEA inspections, and it was back to $110 within the hour. Tehran’s answer came from a senior Iranian official, who reportedly told the Pakistani delegation: “Not a single particle of enriched material will leave Iran.” Reuters says Iranian officials are preparing for renewed strikes and see no quick deal. The Roosevelt is reportedly joining the two carriers already there, with a Marine expeditionary unit behind it. Turkey is debating a Saudi defense pact that reportedly bars exit for a decade while the Houthis keep hitting the kingdom. Israel is reportedly building a radar on a Syrian mountain, and Washington’s Patriots for Ukraine are delayed. Every front is loading at once, and nobody is unloading. @WeTheBrandon

🇺🇸🇮🇱🇮🇷 Hegseth now admits he met Netanyahu in Israel and says what they talked about is none of our business... a week before Israel votes A senior US military official and an Israeli source both confirmed the Monday meeting to CBS before the secretary did, and when he finally spoke it was "visiting our troops" plus a line about good partners. The Pentagon still won't comment. Americans are paying $6 a gallon for the war that conversation was about, and the country is being asked to trust the next round to a planning session the war secretary says is private. Netanyahu has posted the version he wants Israelis to hear, "a job to finish." Washington's version is a shrug of indifference, and the first time voters learn what was agreed at Ovda may be when the first bomb lands. Source: CBS News / Writer: Daniel

🚨🇺🇦🇷🇺 32,000 dead in one month: Trump says Ukraine has to want a deal because Russia has far more men to send Trump put the war's toll last month at 32,000 on both sides, mostly young soldiers, and laid the next move squarely on Kyiv: "Ukraine does not have a lot of people to draw from, and it's time to make a deal." The manpower math is real, since Kyiv already dropped its draft age to 25 while Russia keeps recruiting from a population more than three times larger. His claim that America got "nothing back" skips the minerals deal Kyiv signed last year, though. Expect the squeeze on Zelenskyy to tighten fast... Putin wants a November summit with Trump and Xi that leaves Ukraine out of the room, and every word like this makes that meeting easier to say yes to. Writer: Daniel

Elon says a SpaceX-Tesla merger would be a GOOD IDEA, and the upside could be massive Both companies are already exploring the idea. Combining rockets, cars, robots, chips and superintelligence under one roof could create one of the most powerful tech ecosystems on the planet.

🇮🇱 🇵🇸 Two peace offers, in 2000 and 2008, turn into the flashpoint of a heated fight over who killed Palestinian statehood. Omar Baddar says Netanyahu vowed there would never be a Palestinian state long before October 7, while Israel kept building settlements the UN calls illegal all through the peace process. Shabbos Kestenbaum fires back with the Arab world's "three no's" from 1967 and the offers Palestinian leaders turned down: "In fact, in both 2000 and in 2008, they were offered 97% of the West Bank. And they literally said no." Both men come armed with history here, and every minute of it is worth watching. @OmarBaddar @ShabbosK

🇺🇸 Kamala is FED UP with everyone talking about Trump's ballroom, reflecting pool, and golf outings. She wants Americans to focus on something else: how much their lives COST. Kamala blamed Trump's tariffs, Republicans' failure to extend health insurance tax credits, and the war in Iran. And after laying out all that misery, she delivered the inevitable closing line: “Please vote in the midterms.” Writer: Sol t.co/Mla54ZQ7mq

🇺🇸 Rubio went straight to the basics: leaders of the 3 biggest nuclear powers talking is NORMAL DIPLOMACY, not a scandal He said people need to GROW UP about foreign policy, saying that you can't reach deals or reduce risks if the strongest countries refuse to speak. Talking is the starting point for negotiation, not a reward for the other side. When nuclear arsenals are on the table, silence is the riskier option. Writer: Lucas t.co/6QY6AesEyR

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Treasury Secretary Bessent says Iran’s oil money has completely dried up. “Think of it like a company going bankrupt that no one is going to give them money.” He says no oil has been loaded at Iran’s Kharg Island terminal since August, and that Iran has no oil out on the water right now. Kharg used to handle around 90% of Iran’s oil exports, now it’s apparently a ghost port. Writer: Daniyal t.co/6dtuiPOL7e

SpaceX is aiming for a $500B to $1T run rate by the END of 2027 a scale almost NO COMPANY has ever hit that FAST He’s laying out what the AI compute buildout and related plans could mean for the company’s revenue trajectory.

Even the low end would put SpaceX in a category almost no company has reached that fast. @SpaceX / Writer: Lucas t.co/LvhUNPjv7W

🇺🇲🇷🇺🇺🇦 Rubio on negotiating with Putin and Zelensky: “I hear people on TV: ‘Oh, you're rewarding so-and-so by talking to them.’ Well, that's absurd… How are you going to reach a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine if you don't talk to Russia and Ukraine?” Well, the U.S. isn’t doing diesel deals with Kyiv… Writer: Marie t.co/Y7eGDO5biS

🇮🇱 🇵🇸 Not a single settlement was attacked on October 7... and every community Hamas hit sits inside Israel proper. Shabbos Kestenbaum tells Omar Baddar the fight was never about settlements, pointing to Hamas's own charter. Violent settlers should be arrested and prosecuted, he says, and the Palestinian Authority is the side that pays families of attackers like the man who killed Taylor Force, a US Army veteran: "Hamas doesn't care about settlements. It's the entirety of the land." Watch Shabbos make the case that settlements were never the real dispute. @OmarBaddar @ShabbosK

🇮🇱 🇵🇸 Israel's defense minister told the IDF to prepare for an October 7 style attack from the West Bank before the election. In a debate with Shabbos Kestenbaum, Omar Baddar argues the danger runs the other way, pointing to the more than 1,200 Palestinians he says have been killed in the West Bank since October 7 and settlers he says work hand in glove with the army: "I think they are provoking some sort of reaction in the West Bank to then justify emptying out the West Bank as well." With Israelis voting on October 24, watch Omar make the case that the warning itself is the setup. @OmarBaddar @ShabbosK

🇨🇳🇺🇸 Trump just kicked China's DeepSeek out of U.S. government systems. Beijing is FURIOUS. And the AI rivalry is getting personal. Washington has ordered federal civilian agencies to remove DeepSeek, including third-party software built using its models, over fears that sensitive government data could end up in Chinese hands. China is demanding an immediate reversal, accusing Trump of violating understandings reached with Xi Jinping. And Beijing is threatening to take measures of its own. The two leaders only recently agreed to cooperate through a new AI dialogue. Now Washington is effectively telling Beijing that its AI models aren't trusted anywhere near American government systems. The U.S. and China are trying to cooperate on artificial intelligence while simultaneously treating each other's technology as a national security threat. That relationship is going to be a hell of a balancing act. Source: Reuters / Writer: Oliver

🇮🇹🇫🇷 Milan shops are BOARDING UP after weekend riots, while many stores in France still HAVEN’T REOPENED after earlier unrest. Milan shopkeepers pulled stock and shut early as protests hit the streets. In France, thousands of businesses were damaged or looted, with many still closed days later because repairs and security risks make reopening difficult. When shopkeepers start treating another night of looting as the base case, like the new normal, you know Europe is collapsing. Writer: Lucas t.co/VqBFtK3oyq

🇺🇸 FEMA wanted two high-tech private jets for its bosses. DHS apparently thought that was a bit much. According to CNN, the proposal was pulled within hours after senior officials discovered it hadn't been authorized. The awkward part? DHS has already spent more than $1.6 billion on aircraft and aviation contracts, including a fleet purchased for deportations that has barely been used. Some of those planes have reportedly been flying government officials around instead. Washington promised to cut waste. Apparently, somebody forgot to tell the aviation department.

🇺🇸 America has somehow turned WEIGHT LOSS into a two-subscription business. First you pay for Ozempic or Wegovy to lose weight. Then you spend another $100 to $300 a month on supplements because apparently losing weight now comes with a shopping list. Nearly HALF of GLP-1 users have started taking additional vitamins and supplements, while America's supplement industry has ballooned past $74 BILLION. And naturally, TikTok influencers have arrived to sell everyone the solution. Some of these products may help with genuine nutritional needs. Others come with questionable claims and little regulatory scrutiny. The FDA is now considering tighter oversight. People are now buying products to manage the side effects of other products, while influencers collect commissions on both ends. What a beautiful business model. Source: Reuters / Writer: Oliver

🇺🇸 The U.S. Justice Department just charged 28 foreign nationals in California for allegedly voting when they weren't allowed to They all have green cards, so they live in the U.S. legally but aren't citizens. They're accused of pretending to be citizens to sign up to vote, and most of them allegedly went ahead and voted. DOJ says every one of them was on a list of over 20,000 likely noncitizen sign-ups that California refused to act on. Washington and California are going at it again. Writer: Daniyal t.co/w9hiBFADQj

🇮🇳 An elephant in India went full wrecking mode and turned on his own caretaker.

🇷🇸🇪🇺🇷🇺 European leaders turned to fmr. Serbia's president to find out what PUTIN WAS THINKING. Vučić revealed that whenever he spoke with European leaders, the conversation quickly shifted to Russia. “We need contact with Russia. What do you think?

🇷🇸🇺🇦 Serbia’s former president is asking people to see the war through Zelensky’s eyes. “You have to put yourself in his shoes.” He asks how Zelensky could come out and say you fought, but now we’re surrendering and giving up Donbas.

🇺🇸🇫🇷 FRANCE is BURNING... And AMERICAN POLITICIANS are asking if the U.S. IS NEXT What began as students protesting deteriorating schools has turned into something much bigger. Economic frustration, immigration tensions, labor unions and radical political groups are now colliding on French streets. And the American political class has wasted no time turning it into an election argument. Trump blames immigration. Mike Johnson blames open borders and the socialist left. Democrats point to the dangers of aggressive immigration enforcement. But I think France exposes something deeper than either party wants to admit. When governments struggle to provide decent schools, affordable living and a convincing sense of national direction, people eventually stop believing the system works FOR them. Immigration and integration absolutely belong in that conversation. Pretending otherwise is dishonest. But reducing France's entire crisis to immigrants or socialists is just as lazy. The actual question worth asking: How much public frustration can a country accumulate before an ordinary protest becomes the spark for something much bigger? Source: Fox News / Writer: Oliver

🇷🇸 Serbia's President Vučić says Putin spent 20 to 30 minutes explaining why Serbia shouldn't join NATO. Eventually, Vučić interrupted him. “Wait, who told you we're going to join NATO?” Putin apparently replied that Russia wouldn't agree with Serbia joining, but would respect its decision. Pretty funny exchange, considering Serbia wasn't even asking to join. Writer: Oliver t.co/LYHHA7KEHl

Mossad and military intelligence have detected signs that Israel's enemies may launch an operation to INFLUENCE the Oct 27 VOTE. “We have received intelligence about this from the Mossad and the military, and we are preparing for it.” He hasn't publicly identified who might attack, where, or how.

🇹🇷🇸🇦🇵🇰 TURKEY, SAUDI ARABIA AND PAKISTAN ARE BUILDING THEIR OWN NATO-STYLE MILITARY ALLIANCE The FULL TEXT of the Mecca Defense Pact has now emerged as Turkey moves to ratify it. The central rule is simple: Attack one, and you've attacked all three. The agreement covers military assistance, intelligence sharing, weapons production and joint deployments. And this isn't just paperwork anymore. The three countries have already agreed to activate collective defense measures following Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia. Egypt is reportedly considering joining. Think about the implications. A NATO member, an oil superpower and a nuclear-armed state are building a collective defense system of their own. And it's happening while the Middle East is already at war. Source: Türkiye Today / Writer: Oliver

🇮🇳 India just took its war on cockroaches to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL During a Hindu festival in New Delhi, organizers built a massive 30-FOOT COCKROACH effigy to set on fire. The politician behind the event, a member of India's ruling party, insisted the giant insect was simply a symbol of FILTH and that burning it was meant to promote cleanliness. India has a youth protest movement called the Cockroach Janta Party, created after the country's top judge compared some unemployed young people to cockroaches. The politician denied any political message behind the stunt 😂 Writer: Sol t.co/KruzFHXfCq
