🇺🇸 Major American corporations are cutting tens of thousands of jobs in 2026 as rising costs and AI adoption push companies to rethink their workforces. Some of the biggest reported layoffs include: •⁠ ⁠UPS: Up to 30,000 jobs •⁠ ⁠Oracle: Up to 30,000 projected, not confirmed •⁠ ⁠Amazon: 16,000 jobs •⁠ ⁠Omnicom: 15,000 jobs •⁠ ⁠Meta: 8,000 reported •⁠ ⁠Microsoft: 4,800 jobs •⁠ ⁠Dow Chemical: 4,500 jobs •⁠ ⁠Cisco: Fewer than 4,000 jobs And the cuts aren't limited to tech. Companies across manufacturing, finance and transportation are also reducing their workforces. With expenses climbing and AI making it possible to do more with fewer employees, the layoffs are picking up serious pace. The troubling part is that while companies are becoming more efficient, the cuts are only getting more brutal as wars send the cost of living through the proverbial roof.

ZERO injuries. ZERO airbag deployments. ZERO pedestrians or cyclists hit. That's Tesla Robotaxi's reported safety record across more than 3 million miles of autonomous driving. These aren't empty roads. We're talking city traffic, night-time driving, rain, and busy rush hours. Every mile matters when you're trusting a car to drive itself, especially with families, pedestrians, and cyclists sharing the road. Millions of miles, and those three numbers are still sitting at ZERO. Impressive. @Tesla @Robotaxi / Writer: Annette, Designer: Janné

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Zelensky on why Ukraine needs him: "Ukraine cannot have a weak president now. Maybe after the war, any kind, absolutely, it's the choice of the people. But for today, if Ukraine wants to survive, Ukraine needs a strong army, a strong president, strong people, with all respect to everybody. That's why the reaction is strong, and that's why any pressure on me, my attitude, of course, I will answer. Because otherwise they will eat us. I mean Russians, of course." Unsurprisingly, he's against holding any elections until the war's over after Trump said that Ukraine needs a new president. Writer: Mhedi t.co/MVdMMv5x9l

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump suggests the war with Iran will be over soon. "I see it ending soon. I see it ending one way or another, through agreement or otherwise." Of course, he might have to brace for a little skepticism when what was supposed to be a '6-week war' is on the verge of entering its 9th month. Writer: Mhedi t.co/H62jvRkogf

🇵🇰 Baloch separatists launched a major assault on Pakistani military base in Gwadar The Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF) began Operation Almas on October 22, kicking things off with a vehicle packed with explosives before armed male and female fighters stormed a military camp. The BLF claims it killed dozens of Pakistani soldiers and intelligence personnel, but Islamabad says those numbers are propaganda. Pakistani security forces eventually killed all the attackers, bringing the assault to an end. Both sides are telling very different stories about the scale of the damage Source: @TabzLIVE on Telegram / Writer: Ian

🇹🇼 Powerful winds from Typhoon Champi have uprooted trees and damaged buildings across Taipei as one of the strongest storms of 2026 battered the island. Champi reached Category 5-equivalent strength earlier this week, with peak winds reportedly approaching 296 km/h (185 mph), before weakening as it approached Taiwan. The storm has left one person dead and more than 500 injured in the nation, with hundreds of thousands of households experiencing power outages. Hundreds of flights have been canceled, ferry services disrupted, and schools and businesses closed as authorities respond to dangerous winds and heavy rainfall. Writer: Mhedi t.co/nYexEatI6i

People are buying FSD and getting a Tesla thrown in with it. FSD is becoming the main attraction, and the car is almost the bonus. The numbers speak for themselves. Tesla has 1.74 million active FSD subscriptions, up 67% in a year. People used to choose a car for its looks, power, or fancy interior. Now they're choosing one because of how intelligently it drives. At this rate, the wheels are just part of the software package. @Tesla / Writer: Annette, Designer: Janné

🇺🇸 SpaceX launched another 27 Starlink satellites into orbit, and the real star of the show was a Falcon 9 booster flying for the 36TH TIME. The rocket lifted off from California's Vandenberg Space Force Base, successfully deployed its satellites, and landed on a droneship in the Pacific just 8.5 minutes after launch. Booster B1063 first flew back in NOVEMBER 2020. It even launched NASA's DART mission, which successfully slammed a spacecraft into an asteroid. Nearly six years later, it's STILL flying missions and landing safely. Source: @nasaspaceflight / Writer: Sol

Tesla's fully loaded electric Semi just hit the road for a test drive, hauling approximately 30,000 POUNDS, and the driver couldn't stop praising it. A reviewer with a commercial driver's license got behind the wheel of the production truck and tested its acceleration up to 45 mph. His reaction? “It feels really effortless.” He praised the smooth acceleration, impressive visibility, regenerative braking, and the sheer power available without the usual gear shifts. At one point, he was so comfortable driving the massive truck that he joked about taking it all the way home to Denver 🔥 Source: The Fast Lane Truck (YT) / Writer: Sol

🇺🇲 Elon is challenging the idea of a “zero-sum mindset.” “If you have a zero-sum mindset, then the only way to get ahead is by taking things from others. If the pie is fixed, then the only way to have more pie is to take someone else’s pie. But this is false…” He says the economy isn’t a fixed pie, but one that has grown dramatically over time, creating more wealth and opportunity. The real goal is to make the pie bigger by creating more value than we consume. Even innovations that raise ethical questions can create enormous value, expand resources, and improve living standards over time. No need to fight over crumbs when there’s plenty of pies in the oven. Writer: Marie t.co/D1ySnxefFG

🇸🇦🇮🇷 Satellite images show Saudi Arabia doubling its ballistic missile factory to build longer-range weapons on Chinese designs, with the first ones possible by New Year's The new casting hall at al-Duwadimi, 125 miles west of Riyadh, is twice the size of the old one and ringed with blast walls, and three separate analyst shops read it as the jump from the DF-15s Riyadh already fires into Yemen toward a DF-21-class missile that reaches Tehran. The digging started in April 2025, ten months before the Iran war, so this was a decision about America before it was a decision about Iran. Riyadh spent decades buying F-15s and Patriots and discovered this year that Washington won't sell the one weapon that deters Tehran, can't resupply the interceptors fast enough, and may bomb Iran again without asking. The fix is a Chinese missile line on Saudi soil, which means the next US president inherits a Gulf partner that no longer needs permission to retaliate. The possible casualty is the US-Saudi nuclear deal: a Senate that watches Riyadh build 1,000-mile missiles isn't going to hand it uranium enrichment, and MBS almost certainly knows it and built anyway.

The DOJ probe follows a criminal referral from the department’s inspector general and is looking at contracting activity during Kristi Noem’s tenure as Homeland Security secretary. Lewandowski served as Noem’s senior aide and de facto chief of staff. His attorney denies wrongdoing, and no charges have been announced.

🇺🇸 🇮🇷 Up to 40% of the Iranians killed in the crackdown may have died at the hands of foreign agents, using the same playbook the CIA ran in Iran in 1953. Death toll estimates have swung from 75,000 to 42,000, and Larry Wilkerson puts the real number closer to 10,000 to 12,000, pointing to Mossadegh’s overthrow and Chile under Allende as proof of how these operations work: “At least 40% of the people who were killed were killed by our agents in Iran trying to do the same thing.” If any of that holds up, the case for regime change gets a lot harder to sell.
