🇧🇬 A journalist in Bulgaria was SHOVED to the ground by a government bodyguard while trying to question the country's parliamentary speaker, and the official convoy simply DROVE AWAY. The footage shows reporter Sonya Koltuklieva opening the door of Mihaela Dotsova's official car before a security officer forcefully pushes her backward, sending her crashing onto the pavement. Koltuklieva suffered a FRACTURED SHOULDER and was hospitalized, while the bodyguard was arrested and charged over the incident. Dotsova later apologized, calling what happened unacceptable.

🚨🇺🇸 American Express is AXING 5% of its workforce, eliminating roughly 3,500 jobs to curb surging costs. CEO Steve Squeri defended the move, saying the job cuts were aimed at making the company “more agile" and it will speed up decision making. The cuts come despite Amex beating Q3 earnings expectations with $4.68 per share and raising its full-year forecast to between $18.30 and $18.60. Source: Bloomberg / Writer: Bri

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇮🇱 Pickaxe Mountain sits under roughly 900 feet of granite and dirt, so all six remaining bunker busters stacked down one hole wouldn't reach it... and the only way in is a raid every rehearsal turns into a suicide mission The president keeps naming the MOAB, but it bursts above ground, and the one time it was used in combat, in Afghanistan in 2017, the cave complex was still standing the next morning. Anthony Aguilar, retired Green Beret lieutenant colonel who watched that strike on the live drone feed, says nothing in the arsenal gets to Iran's uranium: "The only way that we could ever hope to defeat, not destroy, but to defeat in terms of getting in seizing enriched uranium from that area is to put boots on the ground." By his count the six bunker busters left can't do it, and the MOAB's real use is against power plants, bridges and water, which is where Iran's lights go out. He reads the Konarak and Sirik strikes as possible groundwork for a landing in Baloch country to stretch the IRGC, so if Washington restarts this war to crack Pickax, it is choosing between a bomb that can't and a raid that won't come home. @WeTheBrandon

🇺🇸 Investors vanished overnight and an ad agency walked away... and $10 memberships are all that's keeping an independent network alive. Cenk Uygur says a funding round for The Young Turks dried up the moment it started, and just days ago an agency dropped the network over claims it's antisemitic, which he calls cover for punishing its criticism of Israel: "That's why we keep telling everybody, TYTcom, because we're surviving on ten bucks at a time." If tens of thousands of $10 memberships can outlast a corporate boycott, who really controls the news now? @cenkuygur

🇮🇹 An Italian grandmother asks for 60 cents FOR A BOTTLE OF WATER Claudia says she worked her whole life and her pension still doesn’t last half the month. Millions of Italian retirees live on under €1,000 monthly after decades of low contributions, high public debt, and weak economic growth that left the system strained. This isn’t new. Successive governments delayed hard fixes, and today’s pensioners are living with the result. Writer: Lucas t.co/vl4PdW9jrm

🇺🇸🇫🇷🇳🇱🇮🇶 Air France and Dutch airline KLM got fined for flying Delta-coded flights over Iraq The U.S. Transportation Department fined KLM $320,000 and Air France $105,000 today, and ordered both airlines to stop. The reason is that these flights were sold under Delta’s flight code, which means U.S. safety rules applied to them. And those rules ban U.S. operators from flying through restricted parts of the airspace managed from Baghdad, because of the safety risk. Even so, KLM ran more than 100 of these flights and Air France more than 30, between 2022 and 2025. Spread over 130-plus flights, that works out to less than $3,270 a flight.

🇮🇷 🇪🇺 Oil could hit $200 a barrel if Iran answers strikes on its fields by hitting the Gulf's. Gas prices haven't come down in seven months, and Cenk Uygur says that's only the start, with fertilizer stuck, food shortages coming and the riots in France, Belgium and Italy driven by fuel and food prices people can no longer afford: "I'm not talking recession. I'm talking global depression." Nobody heading to the polls on November 3 is ready for $200 oil, and every candidate on the ballot knows it. @cenkuygur

🇺🇸🇨🇳 The Pentagon says it has dismantled 80 Chinese propaganda operations across 30 American universities. Sec. Hegseth claims Chinese government-backed Confucius Institutes, previously restricted by Congress, resurfaced under different names and charters, continuing what he describes as the same mission: stealing American intellectual property and influencing students. He says the Department of War identified these organizations and systematically dismantled all 80 within just TWO MONTHS. “To any country trying to steal our hard-earned inventions or turn our young people against their own country, we're done with that.” Writer: Sol t.co/we9wnvH4b0

🇮🇱 🇵🇸 Netanyahu is locking down the entire West Bank four days before Israel votes... and promising new settlements in the same breath. After two soldiers were killed at a checkpoint near Hebron, he ordered the city closed, a full lockdown prepared across the West Bank and troops sent house to house, then reportedly told Hebrew media Israel is building over 100 new settlements and farms: "We are prepared for a large scale operation in the West Bank." Add this week's two jet runs to Iran's border, and the election week war people feared is starting to take shape. @cenkuygur

🇺🇸🇨🇦 Trump may cut some Canada tariffs to help a Republican senator win Trump is expected to drop 50% tariffs on some Canadian farm and forestry goods, possibly as soon as today, though other Canadian products could get hit to balance it out. The aim is to help Susan Collins, a moderate Republican from Maine, a state that leans heavily on trade with Canada. She has broken with Trump on tariffs, and her race against Democrat Troy Jackson is neck-and-neck heading into the November 3 midterms. The White House says any reports are speculation until it announces something itself. Last month the administration lifted tariffs on Canadian road salt and cement, and Collins took the credit. Jackson’s answer was that Mainers “can’t eat road salt.” This time it’s food on the list, which makes that line a lot harder to use. Source: WSJ / Writer: Daniyal

🇺🇦🇷🇺🇪🇺 Zelensky emphasized that TEAMWORK is the key to keeping Europe safe. “Some countries think they need to keep their interceptors for themselves. They are ready to help Ukraine, but first they need to defend themselves… They already have an army of around 2 million. There is no European country with an army that strong. European armies are not ready for such a struggle.” Which country is gonna step up and be the captain? Writer: Marie t.co/MxbDHxa04s

🇺🇦🇪🇺🇷🇺 Zelensky is getting increasingly frustrated with Europe for easing sanctions on Russia whenever the economic consequences become too painful. He complains that European governments keep making exceptions for oil, gas, diesel, fertilizers, and even parts of the banking system. “You can't just impose sanctions and then lift them because winter is difficult.” But here's the problem: Zelensky expects Europeans to keep financing Ukraine's war effort while dealing with freezing winters and exorbitant energy and fuel prices. And apparently, even the cost of fertilizers for struggling farmers shouldn't get in the way. I'm not sure that's a particularly tempting offer for the average European taxpayer... Writer: Sol t.co/5IIahmWAbi

🇺🇦🇷🇺 Okay Zelensky, let us use your logic: You say Russia produces 140 missiles a month, has 700 in storage, and that 70% of the components come from other countries. Why don’t you take a page from their book and work with those countries and produce your own missiles at scale?
