🇺🇸 Jon Stewart's producer said she feels "optimistic" about a Democrat victory, <2 weeks until the midterms. But Stewart is clearly far from convinced... "I think the national media is so disconnected from the reality of things... and the polling is always so f***ed." He said he knows "the country is hurting," but talked about ads he saw in Texas about trans surgeries on kids. "What the f**k is happening?!" Writer: Michael t.co/J300OCDdlf

🇺🇸 I dunno, if I’m spending $12 MILLION on a plane… I don’t think I’m buying it on Facebook Marketplace! Of course, it’s staged… but it’s absolutely hilarious! I wouldn't be surprised if I really saw a C-130 for sale on Marketplace. Anything goes these days! 🤣 Writer: Jamie t.co/bNH1SL71Ej

🇫🇷 While France is still cleaning up from the riots, lawyers are demanding comfortable mattresses for the teenage suspects in custody. Yes, YOU READ THAT RIGHT! The Seine-Saint-Denis bar association demanded that detained minors be treated with 'dignity' after lawyers allegedly found teenagers shivering under blankets at the Bobigny courthouse near Paris. Of the 17 detainees, 14 were linked to an alleged aggravated theft at a sports shop in Saint-Denis. Unfortunately, the local prosecutor has already caved, acknowledging that the detention conditions were 'unacceptable.' With 1,500 businesses damaged or looted and the nation's stability at stake, apparently the priority is the looters' quality of sleep... 🤦‍♂️ Source: International Business Times / Writer: Mhedi

🇨🇺 Nearly a THIRD of Cuba's 9.4 million residents are struggling with water shortages at the moment... The country's deteriorating infrastructure has left homes and businesses without reliable running water. Residents are digging wells and queuing at water distribution points to meet their basic daily needs. Families are having to spend HOURS securing water for drinking, cooking, and washing. For millions of Cubans, access to simple RUNNING WATER has now sadly become an uncertainty... Writer: Mhedi t.co/cEy9MO1DZj

Sad to see Trump's Iran war mistake overshadow so many of his other achievements

🇮🇱🇵🇸 Netanyahu: "As for our heroic settlers: You are an example to the people of Israel. You are an example to the State of Israel." An example?? They destroy homes, seize properties, take people’s harvests, they are aggressive and violent. Yes, it seems they represent the State of Israel very well. Writer: Samuel t.co/meknw0Jooa

🚨🇮🇱🇵🇸 Israeli forces carried out a major DEMOLITION near Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza. Whatever the military objective, scenes of large-scale destruction near medical facilities are deeply disturbing after years of devastating war in Gaza. Hospitals and the civilians around them should NEVER be treated as an afterthought in warfare... Writer: Samuel t.co/s2p12gf1eS

🇺🇸 The Atlanta Falcons' graphic designer will probably need to keep off social media for a while... The NFL team released its brand new logo yesterday, and its gone viral for ALL the wrong reasons. Thousands of commenters are posting memes referencing The Third Reich (even calling the team "The Bird Reich"), saying the logo is Naziesque... What do you think? Is the reaction justified?

The footage shows the attackers arriving armed with an M-16-style rifle and a handgun before opening fire. Israeli troops responded, exchanging fire with the attackers and killing both at the scene. Netanyahu has announced a LOCKDOWN on the West Bank in response... Writer: Samuel t.co/wYO43xjJTK

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Brent crude oil has climbed to $113.66 per barrel, approaching a 5-month high as fears grow over another round of U.S.-Israeli strikes against Iran. Oil briefly reached $114.65 earlier today, with prices now up nearly 87% since the beginning of the year. The latest increase comes as Washington and Israel reportedly prepare for a renewed military offensive against Iran. Possible targets include Iranian nuclear facilities, missile production sites, and energy infrastructure, though no final decision has been confirmed. Meanwhile, renewed attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz and threats against Gulf energy facilities are adding pressure to oil markets. With Brent already above $113, another major escalation could send prices sharply higher, with the crisis now already contributing to disorder in Europe and extreme fuel shortages in parts of Asia.

🇬🇧 A box of Pokémon cards sitting in a British man's attic for 15 YEARS just sold for more than $2 MILLION! The owner originally bought some of the sets for just a few hundred dollars. The retired decorator had collected 41 complete Pokémon card sets between 1999-2009, then stored them away after his son lost interest. At auction, the collection fetched £1.56 million ($2.09 million), more than 6x its estimated value. One Legendary Collection set containing a rare Charizard sold for $174,000, while a Skyridge set originally bought for ~$400 fetched around $131,000. Sometimes cleaning out the attic really can make you a millionaire. Source: AA / Writer: Samuel

🚨🇮🇱 The man who helped make Netanyahu Prime Minister of Israel is now openly opposing him... Billionaire and World Jewish Congress President Ron Lauder says Israel "stands to lose badly" if Bibi is reelected this Tuesday. “Your fathers fought for the country, and you’re losing everything because of stupidity.” He says Netanyahu put his own ambitions ahead of Israel's. And he's definitely not alone in that. Thiel breaking with Trump on the Iran war, now Lauder breaking with Netanyahu... There's only so much recklessness these billionaire backers are willing to accept! Writers: Jamie, Michael t.co/PCkVbgaVqI

🇮🇷 Iran says Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei is still firmly IN COMMAND, despite staying out of public view. An IRGC representative said Khamenei continues to oversee Iran's government and armed forces under wartime conditions, describing him as healthy and in “full command of the situation.” Iranian media also reported this week that Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf met Khamenei to discuss military and economic developments in the war. But Khamenei's limited visibility has fueled questions about how power is actually being exercised, with previous reporting indicating the IRGC has gained significant influence over wartime decision-making. The IRGC representative also vowed the confrontation with Israel would continue until the “resistance” achieves its objectives. Source: Iran Int'l (anti-regime outlet) / Writer: Samuel

🚨🇷🇴 BREAKING: Georgescu will remain BEHIND BARS... You read that right: the person who won the first round of the 2024 presidential election will remain in prison due to accusations that have NOT been proven, accusations that are, in fact, RIDICULOUS. The Bucharest Court of Appeal rejected Georgescu's request for house arrest, meaning he will remain in pre-trial detention. The decision was unusually close: the original two-judge panel split, forcing a third judge to step in and break the deadlock. FREE GEORGESCU!!!! Source: libertatea / Writer: Samuel

🇰🇵🇷🇺 Russia is helping North Korea rapidly expand its missile and drone programs, intensifying the arms race on the Korean Peninsula. In exchange for supplying Moscow with troops and weapons for its war in Ukraine, Pyongyang is gaining valuable battlefield experience and access to Russian military technology. This cooperation is helping North Korea improve missile accuracy, develop more advanced attack drones and strengthen its electronic warfare capabilities. Russia is also reportedly sharing drone technology and manufacturing expertise, allowing Pyongyang to develop weapons based on systems tested in Ukraine. Meanwhile, North and South Korea have conducted competing hypersonic weapons tests, as tensions rise along their heavily militarized border. The fear is now that North Korea will get bolder as its advantages grow while America becomes increasingly tied down in the Middle East. Source: The New York Times / Writer: Mhedi
