🇺🇲 Trump didn’t take kindly to LeBron James’s ADHD demo during the NATIONAL ANTHEM. “While listening to our National Anthem, LeBron James disrespects our Country! … LeBron James should apologize to all of those Great American Warriors and Heroes who died for the American Flag..." It was a distracting display of disrespect, but billionaires don’t care about that stuff. Source: Truth Social / Writer: Marie

🇺🇸 TRUMP SUED THE BBC FOR $10 BILLION Now a federal judge is ordering him to answer questions under oath. And the deadline is December 11. The lawsuit centers on a BBC documentary that edited together separate portions of Trump's January 6 speech, creating the impression that he had directly urged supporters to march on the Capitol and fight. The BBC apologized for the misleading edit, but Trump went considerably further, demanding $10 billion in damages. Now the legal fight is entering a rather uncomfortable stage for the president. He brought the lawsuit. The BBC gets to question him under oath. A dispute over how Trump's words were edited could now end with lawyers questioning him about those very words.

🇷🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦 Putin is close to fixing ties with the U.S. without giving up anything on Ukraine A year ago, Trump hit Russia’s 2 biggest oil companies with sanctions, saying talks with Putin weren’t going anywhere. In the past 2 weeks, that’s flipped. Trump agreed to buy Russian diesel without asking for anything back, suspended some Russia sanctions, and his team pressed Ukraine to stop hitting Russian oil refineries. More deals are now on the table, from fertilizer to energy and data centers, and Russia freed a jailed American teacher yesterday. Trump said Moscow did it out of respect for him. Analysts say this has been Putin’s goal all along, doing business with Washington while the war keeps going. The catch for Putin is that Europe now carries more of Ukraine’s weight, so even a friendlier U.S. may not get him a peace deal on his terms. Source: The New York Times / Writer: Daniyal

🇺🇸 A Jewish man was stalked through the streets of Manhattan before a woman STABBED him with what may have been a SYRINGE. The 26-year-old victim, wearing traditional Jewish clothing, was walking through NYC's Diamond District during rush hour when a woman speaking Russian began following him. Disturbing surveillance footage shows him trying to AVOID her as she follows him around a parked car, with pedestrians walking nearby. Moments later, he felt a sharp prick in his lower back. He told police he believed he'd been stabbed with a syringe, but authorities have yet to determine whether it contained anything. He was taken to Bellevue Hospital in stable condition, and the NYPD's HATE CRIME TASK FORCE is investigating. Meanwhile, anti-Jewish incidents accounted for MORE THAN HALF of NYC's reported hate crimes during the first nine months of 2026. Source: NYP / Writer: Sol t.co/O6ivigTIbm

🇺🇸🇷🇺 JD VANCE is defending Trump's RUSSIAN DIESEL DEAL with a simple argument: WHY should China get the cheap fuel while Americans pay through the nose? He says Russia was already selling its fuel to Beijing at enormous discounts, while American farmers and truckers were getting hammered by diesel prices. “They've always been able to sell their diesel fuel. They're just selling it at a massive discount to the People's Republic of China.” And that's the calculation behind Trump's decision to ease restrictions on Russian diesel. Washington is now willing to buy Russian energy while telling Ukraine to stop attacking the very refineries producing it. America spent years trying to choke off Russia's energy revenue. Now the price of diesel at home is forcing Washington to reconsider that strategy. That's quite a reversal. Writer: Oliver t.co/860crFE48A

🇺🇸 A security bug hiding in the internet for over 10 years has finally been cracked by AI. The flaw, called PHP2Shell, affects PHP, the programming language behind up to 70% of the world's websites, including online shops, government services and major platforms. And it's a nasty one. Hackers could use it to take over vulnerable servers, steal customer data, install malware or knock websites offline. Researchers in California used an advanced OpenAI model to figure out how the bug could be exploited, something that had stumped experts for years. The good news is that fixes are already out. But websites need to install them quickly, and the FBI is urging those that can't to temporarily go offline. For regular users, simply visiting a PHP website doesn't mean they're hacked. The bigger worry is personal information stored on sites that haven't been fixed yet. Source: CBS News / Writer: Daniyal

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump could be walking into an escalation trap with Iran that gets more dangerous after the midterms. I spoke with Professor Robert Pape, and this was one of our more unsettling conversations. He believes Trump is caught in an escalation trap. Every attempt to reverse a strategic setback creates pressure to take an even bigger gamble. Pape compared it to Lyndon Johnson in Vietnam. A president who keeps doubling down because admitting defeat carries an enormous political cost. And he thinks the danger could actually increase after the November 3 midterms. We also discussed reports of a possible three-day US air campaign against Iran. Pape warned that the original three-day bombing concept against Saddam Hussein expanded into a 43-day campaign. He fears something similar could happen again, with Gulf countries paying a terrible price. But the part that really stayed with me was his warning about civilian aviation. He believes another round of fighting could put commercial aircraft and airports at risk, potentially leaving people with no safe way to evacuate. That's particularly concerning to me because I'm in the region. I asked him how bad this could get. He thinks a global recession by April is a real possibility. None of this is inevitable. But Pape's larger point is that the political pressure driving escalation may be growing faster than anyone's ability to control what happens next. @ProfessorPape

🇦🇱 Albania's protests have made it INSIDE PARLIAMENT now. Opposition MPs crowded the speaker's podium during a vote today, saying the session shouldn't go on while the streets are in chaos. They held up photos of a protester they say was hurt by police, then water and papers started flying, and it turned into a shoving match. The streets have been burning for days, now the lawmakers are at it too. Same anger, just a fancier room. Writer: Daniyal t.co/VozXSCM5ow

🇪🇺🇷🇺🇺🇸 Europe is hunting for someone to talk to Putin before it gets cut out of the Ukraine peace talks. Witkoff just offered Putin a 3-way summit with Trump and Zelensky, and Europe is worried it won't have its own representative in those talks. Finding one is tricky. The Czech president says Putin doesn't want to talk to von der Leyen or Kallas, and has stopped talking to Macron too. Finland’s president Alexander Stubb is one name getting attention. He's close to Trump and next door to Russia, but back in June he said he isn't the right man for the job. Another option is EU Council chief António Costa, who reportedly told leaders last week he won't call Putin for now. And for now, the U.S. is already at the table, while Europe is still arguing over who gets the chair. Source: POLITICO / Writer: Daniyal

🇺🇲🇷🇺🇺🇦 Vance makes it sound like Moscow is as willing to negotiate as Kyiv 🤔 Q: “Ukraine has now agreed multiple times to come to the table. Russia has not. What gives you confidence that this time will be different?” Vance: Well, I think both countries have agreed to come to the table.” Russia reportedly said it was “ready in principle” to restart peace talks after months of stalled negotiations, but Kyiv has since come under a new missile attack. Soon Zelensky is gonna run out of tables. Source: BBC / Writer: Marie t.co/p66r4Lp0AJ

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump is celebrating a Wall Street Journal report that MORE OIL is now leaving the Persian Gulf than BEFORE THE IRAN WAR But there's a catch! Getting oil moving again doesn't undo the damage from higher prices, disrupted supply chains, and months of uncertainty. Trump wants Americans to see the oil flowing again. Fair enough. But they'll be looking at what they're paying at the pump. Writer: Oliver

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump is ACCUSING IRAN of deliberately DRIVING UP OIL prices ahead of the U.S. midterms He claims Tehran is even inventing attacks and mine threats in the Strait of Hormuz to scare the markets, despite more oil supposedly passing through than before the war. He also claims 75,000 Iranian protesters have been killed in less than seven months, a staggering figure that needs independent verification. And he ends with an absolute promise: Iran will NEVER have a nuclear weapon. Writer: Oliver

🇺🇸 THE U.S. 10-YEAR TREASURY YIELD JUST FELL BELOW 5% That means investors are buying U.S. government bonds aggressively enough to push borrowing costs lower. But don't mistake this for cheap money suddenly returning. America's benchmark borrowing rate is STILL around 5%. Mortgages, corporate loans and the cost of financing Washington's enormous debt remain under pressure. The yield just crossed a psychologically important line. The real question is why investors suddenly want bonds badly enough to push it there. Writer: Oliver

🇬🇧 Scary scenes in Blackpool, UK, as a guy's been going around stabbing people. Police were called to Talbot Road this morning after a man in his 30s and a woman in her 20s were stabbed. Thankfully, both are in hospital with injuries that aren't life-threatening. Armed officers are still searching for the suspect, and the road remains closed. Stay safe out there, everyone. ❤️ Writer: Daniyal t.co/uaf5QdZqiW

🇺🇸 one of VIRGINIA'S MOST POWERFUL DEMOCRATS has just been INDICTED for allegedly RUNNING A CRIMINAL MARIJUANA EMPIRE And the allegations go WAY beyond selling weed. State Senator Louise Lucas, 82, has been charged alongside six others, including family members, in a federal investigation involving drug distribution, money laundering and corruption. Prosecutors allege she used her political influence to protect the operation and push legislation that benefited her business. Here's the extraordinary part. Lucas helped champion marijuana legalization in Virginia while allegedly running an illegal distribution operation herself. The woman wasn't some obscure local politician. She's the president pro tempore of the Virginia Senate and chairs its powerful Finance Committee. Federal prosecutors have effectively accused a top state lawmaker of using the very government she helps run to protect a family drug enterprise. Lucas denies wrongdoing and says the investigation is politically motivated. Writer: Oliver t.co/0Uv6SxwR0R

🇪🇸🇵🇱 Spain and Poland's leaders nearly descended into INSULTS during a heated EU fight over immigration. Poland's PM Tusk clashed with Spain's PM Sánchez after Poland, Italy and Denmark pushed for tougher EU language against illegal immigration. Sánchez opposed that proposal, with France and Luxembourg backing his position. Polish accounts say Tusk eventually walked out of the room, forcing EU Council President António Costa to persuade him to return so the meeting could continue. Sánchez defended regularizing undocumented migrants, while Tusk argued Spain's approach could encourage illegal crossings and threaten security elsewhere in Europe. Tusk's warning: “Spain must implement our migration policy if we want Schengen to survive.” Source: ABC / Writer: Samuel

🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelensky says Ukraine is already making a HUGE compromise just by agreeing to stop where the front lines are. He said a ceasefire followed by negotiations would itself be an enormous concession after years of killings and suffering, arguing Ukrainians cannot simply be forced to forgive what happened. He again backed freezing the war along the current lines as the first step toward negotiations. But his sharpest message was aimed directly at Trump: “The way Trump talks about me, he needs to adopt that kind of rhetoric about Putin.” Source: @ZelenskyyUa / Writer: Samuel

🚨🇺🇸 JD Vance says he doesn't really give a damn what the polls say right now... and they're often wrong: "I don't really care one way or the other because the only poll that matters is the one in early November! I remember in the 2020 campaign, there was a poll that had Trump down by 17 pts in Wisconsin. During the 2024 campaign, there was the famous poll that had us down in Iowa by 3 pts, which if we lose Iowa by 3 pts, we were in for a long night. Those polls all proved to be FALSE. I think they have the effect of demotivating our voters, which is why I encourage people to ignore the polls." Writer: Michael t.co/z7DKjnZOZQ
