🇲🇦🇮🇱 Morocco is reportedly closing a deal for Israel's David's Sling, a 300km missile shield that would need Trump's sign-off and would sit across the water from Ceuta and Melilla Rabat already runs Israeli Barak MX and Spyder batteries, is shopping for 400km LORA ballistic missiles, and has bought $2 billion in Israeli arms since the Abraham Accords. David’s Sling is a Raytheon co-production, so the sale runs through Washington, where Morocco signed a ten-year defense roadmap. Three months ago thousands of migrants poured into Ceuta in two days, at least 18 drowned, Spain sent in the army and Moroccan police stood by until it was over, the same lever Rabat pulled in 2021 to get its way on Western Sahara. Nobody has proven Morocco opened the gate, but Madrid acted like it believed it. A kingdom that can flood the border on command and shoot down what flies over it has two pressure points on Spain, and NATO has never said Article 5 covers either enclave.

🇺🇸 🇶🇦 🇧🇭 🇰🇼 The Pentagon is weighing which Gulf bases to rebuild and which to walk away from... and US bases in the region may barely exist a decade from now. Trita Parsi expects a stretch of mutual denial, where Gulf states buy more American weapons to keep Washington calm while they spread their bets and build economic ties with Iran: “I find it extremely unlikely that 5 to 10 years from now, there will be many bases in the region by the United States.” Decades of American bases bought the Gulf its protection, and now the Gulf is shopping for a cheaper kind. @tparsi

🇺🇸 Trump says drug prices DROPPED 50-90%, DEI is gone, and every American kid got a seeded investment account The numbers line up with the deals and orders already signed, even if the exact savings vary by drug. The accounts are set up so parents can start building something for their kids from day one instead of waiting on another government program. Writer: Lucas t.co/vIuP9IpRY9

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱 US embassies are ordering families out of Qatar, Jordan and Bahrain... and the next round on Iran may be 48 hours away, midterms or not Two Iranian missile sites were reportedly hit tonight, and the New York Times says Washington and Israel are preparing the big strikes for after November 3. Larry Johnson, former CIA, doesn't buy the wait, because the evacuation order is the real countdown: "They've issued the order for evacuation. So they want to get the people evacuated first." He doesn't think Iran hits Israel yet, but when it does he expects both of Israel's refineries, the ports at Haifa and Ashdod, and the airbases to go on the list, with Dimona added only if Iran's own nuclear sites are struck. Any Gulf state that hosts a launch becomes a target, so the countries with the most to lose are the ones Washington is about to use. @newsonof @WeTheBrandon

🇺🇸Trump says surging oil prices are just "a very small price to pay." A small price for who exactly? Definitely not the average American getting squeezed at the gas pump. For Trump however, he is sitting pretty. His nine largest disclosed oil and gas holdings gained an estimated $1.5 million to $4.4 million from the eve of the Iran war through to the end of August… Writer: Bri t.co/8lIrfi25f8

🇺🇸🇫🇷 Missouri Sen. Eric Schmitt says French riot chaos is the DSA Democrat’s blueprint for America He pointed to fires, looting, and street violence in France as a dire warning of what radical leftists want to bring to the U.S. Schmitt cited Boeing’s F-47 and Navy fighter contracts in St. Louis, plus a federal crackdown that led to 435 arrests and 166 guns seized, as examples of Trump-era gains. He warned a Democratic House could cut ICE funding and reverse that progress. His message was basically: chaos vs. jobs and safer streets. Source: Fox News / Lucas

🇺🇸 Trump asked Melania how good his Biden imitation was, and she asked, "What happened to you? Are you okay?" She's the first in line to feel those kinds of things every night 😂 Writer: Lucas t.co/cOMF0wS3dV

🇺🇸 Trump: "We're close to ending two more wars. Russia, Ukraine, and Iran. They'll end one way or the other." One way or another? That could mean anything with Trump, from a vague signed deal to God forbid dragging the U.S. into another new war. Let's wait and see. Writer: Bri t.co/ZNFiVVhboV

🇺🇸 Trump: "We have a blockade on the Trump Strait. How do you think the Arabs would like me calling it? I mean, we changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico; why can’t we change that name?" But… he actually changed the Gulf of Mexico? 😅 Writer: Lucas t.co/6koLDHg7s3

🇺🇸🇲🇽 The Pentagon just handed DHS a military HEAT RAY to test on the southern border A memo signed by Hegseth loans Border Patrol the Active Denial System for seven months, an invisible beam that can hit people more than half a mile away and makes their skin feel like it’s inside an oven until they run. The Pentagon made sure the fine print says its own troops won’t touch the trigger... even the military wants its fingerprints nowhere near this one😅 The weapon has never been fired at anyone, not even in Afghanistan. Trump’s own DHS secretary killed the idea of using it at the border back in 2018, with one former official saying it meant “treating immigrants and citizens like enemy combatants.” With crossings near record lows and Border Patrol staffed up like never before, DHS is going to have to explain what changed and why the border suddenly needs a sci-fi weapon.

🇺🇸Trump: “We've defeated Iran militarily, financially, and otherwise.” He claims to have “obliterated Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity.” Sounds like the war is over from his POV but Iran is out there acting like they hold all the cards and blocking peace at every turn.

🇺🇸Don't mess with a MAGA rally crowd Trump didn't hold back after a supporter threw punches at a disruptive protester. “Wow, thank you. That was great man.” “Who's the guy that threw that punch?” Did he really think that would fly with this group? Writer: Bri t.co/D2rktYy2PH

🇺🇸 Trump says America has gone 17 MONTHS with ZERO illegal immigrants admitted He said the border is the most secure ever and that nobody illegal has been let in for 17 months straight. Officials report 17 months with no releases into the country, and southwest border catches down 95% last year to under 99k. No wonder the crowd EXPLODES with this! Writer: Lucas t.co/FBUZ6RLDxC

🇺🇸 Republicans are BURNING cash in the south in a panic sprint towards the midterms Emergency funds are suddenly FLOODING into Mississippi, South Carolina, and Kansas. Seats that should be bulletproof… Kansas last elected a Democratic senator 94 years ago. Mississippi, 44. South Carolina, 28. Recently the GOP looked at Mississippi and decided it didn’t need more cash. Now they’re reviewing it. The party’s Senate committee took out a $20 million loan for the campaign strategy as it spends aggressively. Are these states ready to flip? Source: Axios / Writer: Bri

🇺🇸Trump: “Interest rates are very soon going to be falling just like oil, gas, everything is going to be.” We’ve heard this before, just like we heard he would end the Ukraine war in 24 hours and no new wars… Yet here we are, and U.S. interest rates are heading in the opposite direction. Last month the Federal Reserve hiked its benchmark rate by 25 basis points to a target range of 3.75% to 4.00%, marking the first rate increase in three years. Writer: Bri t.co/zt7GtOOV7q

🇺🇸 Democrats lead the generic ballot by 11 to 12 points with two weeks to go, and Trump is campaigning in Louisiana... Kansas and Alaska are now live Senate races The early vote is where the numbers get real, with a pollster reporting turnout jumps among Black, Hispanic and Asian American voters who swung toward Trump in 2024, and the immigration crackdown reaching past "the worst of the worst" into Hispanic families, churches and workplaces. Charlie Sykes, former conservative radio host now at To The Contrary, covered the 1980 collapse as a young reporter and says this could be a year like that: "In 1980, it all moved and it moved very, very late. And all these guys were wiped out." Democrats could land 53 or 54 Senate seats, but Charlie says they can still blow Minnesota, Michigan and the Collins race with candidates who ran left of the mood, so the night to watch is Florida's governor's race, where a David Jolly win turns a wave into a tsunami. @SykesCharlie @WeTheBrandon

🇪🇺🇷🇺 Europe suspects Russia had a hand in its weekend chaos. Over the weekend, protests over the cost of living turned into looting and street fights in Paris, Marseille and Milan. So now France and Italy are looking into whether Russian-linked fake news online helped push things that far. In fact, Italy’s defense minister isn’t even waiting for the results, already calling it “hybrid warfare” through TikTok and YouTube. On top of that, Meloni’s told Italy’s spies to figure out if Moscow was really behind it. Still, nothing’s proven yet, and some analysts say blaming Russia is a little too easy when schools are falling apart and wages aren’t going anywhere. Whatever Russia did online, the anger on those streets was very much homegrown. Source: The Telegraph / Writer: Daniyal

🇺🇸 🇮🇱 🇮🇷 Significant bombs and munitions have reportedly been moved to Israel in just the last couple of weeks... and it’s starting to look a lot like February. Trita Parsi points out that diplomacy was still running back then too, right up until the strikes, and the worry is the same pattern is playing out now with only the timing left to settle, before the midterms or after: “So at least towards the end of that, the diplomacy was a sham. The decision had already been made.” If the call is already locked in, the next round of talks is just stage dressing. @tparsi

🇺🇸White House THREATENS Politico over Susie Wiles coverage Counsel Will Scharf gave Politico 48 hours to retract or correct three stories alleging internal tensions with Trump’s chief of staff, warning of legal action and DEMANDING a public apology. Trump dismissed the reports as fake news and denied any plans to replace Wiles. If the reporting is wrong, correct it. Don’t keep bullying the press into silence. Source: Axios / Lucas

🇮🇱 🇮🇷 🇺🇸 Israeli jets just flew all the way to Iran’s border days before Israel votes... and US officials reportedly worry it was meant to bait Iran into firing first. Trita Parsi says if Iran strikes, Netanyahu escapes the blame for starting it, and if Trump pivots to a deal instead, Israel could strike just to blow that deal up: “I would be extremely cautious against discounting the likelihood that the Israelis absolutely would do this.” Who in Washington is going to tell Israel its election calendar doesn’t get to set America’s next war? @tparsi

🇺🇸 Bessent says Trump’s policies are REACHING the people they were meant for. He pointed to major tax cuts, trade policies favoring workers, and the U.S. producing more energy than ever. He also claimed private-sector job growth has topped 1 million while the federal workforce has shrunk by over 300,000. The pitch is that tax cuts, energy dominance, and a smaller government are supposed to put more money and jobs in ordinary hands. Writer: Lucas t.co/MYzHc866Wd

🇸🇦🇾🇪 Signs the Houthis hit Saudi Arabia's Shaybah field again, a 500 megawatt fire lit up Khurais on NASA satellites, and Riyadh has said nothing... the world may already be short 5 to 8 million barrels a day Khurais is a 1.1 million barrel a day field that only produces when treated seawater keeps the pressure up, and he believes the plant that pumps that water was hit. Three of the East West pipeline's pumping stations were hit, by his count, on a route that climbs 3,000 feet. Chris Martenson, energy analyst at Peak Prosperity, says the silence is the data: "I would feel better if we at least had believable lies. But we're getting nothing." A 5 to 8 million barrel shortfall is the largest oil supply shock in history, and oil use tracks GDP almost one for one, so if Iran works through its declared target list, starting with Abqaiq, exporters everywhere stop selling, and at that point oil has no ceiling. @chrismartenson @WeTheBrandon

🇫🇷 France is getting clean again. Paris workers finished scrubbing the graffiti off the Republic statue yesterday, just days after the weekend riots. And they're cleaning up the streets too, getting rid of burned-out cars and broken glass. But people are still stuck with the same high living costs, and France still has a mountain of debt. Cleaning up the mess was the easy part. Writer: Daniyal t.co/VrtQeQOPxZ

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱 The US and Israel have drawn up a post-midterm strike plan for Iran with Pickaxe Mountain at the top of the list... and Trump already canceled it once this month Both militaries were on highest alert in early October when he postponed at the last minute, which one commander calls "day-to-day whiplash." The plan is short and intensive, aimed at nuclear sites and missile stocks while steering clear of refineries so gas doesn't climb higher, with longer November nights as the window. Tehran says 72 hours is a "fantasy" and its answer is Aramco's refineries and the internet cables. The first phase of this war strained Patriot stocks to 2030 and put Brent at $110, and nobody can explain why round two ends differently. Source: New York Times / Writer: Daniel
