🇺🇸 The Squad Democrat group in Congress introduces a bill to ABOLISH ICE, Border Patrol, and the entire Department of Homeland Security in one shot. Rep. Delia Ramirez’s Reimagining Safety Act would replace DHS with a new Department of Community Safety. Airport security and disaster response would remain, while border wall funding would end and Guantánamo would close. Rashida Tlaib is an original cosponsor. The bill follows the search of Ilhan Omar’s DC home and an ICE shooting in New York, both cited by Ramirez as reasons to dismantle the department. Calls to abolish ICE have been around for years, but turning a raid over one lawmaker’s childhood paperwork into the reason to scrap the whole border system is a new level.

🇸🇦 🇹🇷 🇵🇰 🇾🇪 A "Muslim NATO" is forming around Saudi money after Houthi missiles killed 13 people and injured over 300, including an American Ian Bremmer says Trump won't send Americans while the Houthis leave US ships alone, so he's working Erdogan for Turkish drones and airstrikes, and Saudi checks could pull Pakistan in: "We are seeing the beginnings of the creation of a Muslim NATO, anchored on Riyadh, in a sense funded by Riyadh." Washington guarded the Gulf for eight decades, and the Saudis are now interviewing replacements. @ianbremmer

🚨🇺🇸 Trump is backing away from livestreaming the Fort Hood killer's firing squad execution after Republicans called it jihadist behavior Administration officials told CBS News they are now leaning against broadcasting Nidal Hasan's Dec. 3 execution, and Trump has not made a final call. Hegseth announced the livestream last Thursday and Trump said Friday he "absolutely" approved it, but by the weekend he was telling reporters the decision was his alone. The pushback came from his own side. Mike Johnson, Thom Tillis and John Curtis objected, Rep. Austin Scott wrote that "livestreaming executions is what jihadists do," and Vance said he wouldn't watch. One official told Axios he'd bet Trump never authorizes it. Hasan still dies on Dec. 3 unless a federal court steps in. The real fight was whether America copies Iran and Afghanistan, the only countries that staged public executions last year, and it looks like the answer is no.

🇸🇦 🇾🇪 Houthi missiles have shut Riyadh's main airport and hit Aramco's headquarters, and MBS can't buy his way out this time. Riyadh once sent money that reached Houthi fighters, but Ian Bremmer says any deal now would show far too much weakness. The kingdom needs land back and missile sites torn up: "This war almost certainly gets worse before it gets better." Saudi Arabia hasn't pushed the Houthis out of Sanaa in a decade, and now it has to with its own capital under fire. @ianbremmer

🔮 CAN AI PREDICT THE FUTURE?? Palantir CEO Alex Karp said AI could foresee what people think and do in their everyday lives. By tracking what people buy, what they post online, where they go, and more, AI could learn to anticipate their next move. The technology builds on tools already used by the U.S. military and its allies. It sounds like some distant sci-fi nightmare... That we could awake to tomorrow. Source: Inside Paper / Writer: Marie

🇺🇸🇪🇺🇷🇺 Trump’s diesel deal with Putin OPENS A SPLIT WITH EUROPE as prices keep climbing. U.S. diesel futures jumped 5% Tuesday despite Trump lifting sanctions to allow Russian fuel shipments. The first batch is just 300,000 tons, less than a day of U.S. demand. Diesel prices are already up 70% since the Iran war began. Washington is pressing Europe to tap its own reserves or face export limits, while the EU rejects the Russia deal and sticks to sanctions. Kaja Kallas called it extra money for the war, as European leaders push tougher measures. The volumes are small, but the political stakes are bigger. Trump wants to ease the fuel squeeze at home while forcing Europe to choose between his approach and standing firm against Moscow. Source: NBC News, Politico, Reuters / Writer: Lucas

🇺🇸 One theory says letting the Middle East burn would make America the new OPEC, but US refineries can't even run American oil. The idea, floated by some around Trump, is that wrecked refineries abroad would force the world to depend on North American energy for good, and it falls apart for a simple reason: "We don't even refine the stuff we drill here in North America." America ships out its light, sweet shale and imports the heavy, sour crude its refineries were built for, so becoming the world's gas station means rebuilding the gas station first. @WeTheBrandon

A full war against Iran like March/April is unlikely, but some form of limited strikes by the U.S. and/or Israel are probable And Iran knows this

🇫🇷 REALLY?! What kind of brainrot makes someone argue that a BLOWTORCH TO THE FACE “isn’t that bad”? During student protests in France, a 15-year-old allegedly used a homemade flamethrower on a woman in Marseille who tried to stop vandalism. She suffered first-degree burns, and the guy was arrested. Now this woman is lighting her own face on fire to claim the incident was exaggerated to smear immigrants. She screams and stumbles, yet somehow thinks this proves her point. It’s CRAZY how far people will go to excuse violence when the attacker fits their narrative. Writer: Lucas t.co/BPpz8ht0wM

🇾🇪 🇸🇦 A major red line just fell in Yemen: the Houthis are telling civilians to evacuate Aramco's headquarters, its Riyadh refinery and King Khalid International Airport. The warning came hours after a Saudi strike on Sana'a's main fuel hub, the depot that keeps generators, transport and basic services running across Houthi territory, even though the Houthis had warned it was off limits: "Well, this red line has been crossed in Yemen." The Houthis still haven't touched Saudi Arabia's desalination plants... so how long do they keep that card in their back pocket? @WeTheBrandon

🚨🇺🇲 The story of the Atlanta father killed on a Georgia roller coaster is even more heartbreaking. 42-year-old Hassan Jihad Ibn Kariem was riding Six Flags Over Georgia’s Goliath with his son when he was ejected from the ride. According to a witness, his son watched as he was ejected from the ride. Now more information is coming out about the incredible feats this beloved educator overcame in his life… Beating cancer TWICE, surviving a CAR FIRE with his daughter, and battling through a difficult bout with Covid-19.

🇾🇪 People in Southern Yemen streets are MARCHING for the UAE-backed Southern Transitional Council after its leader called for mass mobilization. Aidaros al-Zubaidi, head of the group that wants an independent South Yemen, issued his first public statement in months. Protests have begun, with footage from al-Mukalla showing crowds responding. The council lost most of its territorial control earlier this year after Saudi-backed forces pushed them back. Now al-Zubaidi is rallying supporters ahead of a major protest planned for the 14th. Let's see if the crowd remains peaceful or turns into something bigger. Writer: Lucas t.co/I5jCH5nah7

🇬🇧🇮🇷🇺🇸 MI5 chief says Iran is now going after military sites in Britain and the Fairford plot was "not unique" Ken McCallum laid it out at MI5 headquarters on Tuesday: Tehran spent years hunting dissidents and torching Jewish sites through proxies, and this year moved up to "harder targets, like military sites." On RAF Fairford: "There have been other examples, not just in the U.K. but around the world." That base launched B-52s against Iran, and police found three vans loaded with gasoline, no explosives. Seven men are out on bail, Tehran denies everything, and the US has already pulled its bombers out. That last part is the win Iran wanted. A few vans and some gas chased American heavy bombers off British soil, which tells every other NATO host what cheap pressure can buy. Source: Associated Press / Writer: Daniel

A kid fell into a gorilla enclosure in ’86, and the silverback just stood over him, petted his back, and kept the rest of the troop away till help showed up. Fast forward to a few days ago, and some guy climbed into a tiger enclosure on purpose… And the tiger did exactly what a tiger does. Crazy how unpredictable wild animals and these situations can be.

🇺🇸 Ilhan Omar’s husband was seen at their DC home the day after federal agents raided it in an immigration fraud probe. Tim Mynett was filmed walking the dog and entering the house Tuesday. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro is now looking at the disclosures. The raid itself was over childhood immigration paperwork, but the numbers on his businesses moved that hard right as the scrutiny got louder. No charges have been filed, and the investigation remains open, but the timing is brutal. One year the companies look like they’re worth millions, the next they’re worth nothing, and nobody outside the filings has a clear picture of where the money actually went.

🇺🇸 🇾🇪 🇹🇷 Trump says the Houthis are "behaving very badly" and hints they'll pay after the midterms as Taiz is about to fall. He also told reporters he might ask Erdogan to join the response, calling him a great friend who'll do whatever he asks, and a US strike on the Houthis now looks closer than ever: "I find any sort of military campaign against the Houthis highly probable and likely to involve the Americans." The Houthis have three weeks until November 3, and every mile they take before then raises the price of pushing them back. @WeTheBrandon

🇸🇦🇾🇪 Houthis reportedly hit Aramco’s headquarters after Riyadh bombed their oil facility in Sanaa The Houthis had warned the kingdom that hitting their oil facility would put Aramco’s Dhahran headquarters on the target list, and the Saudis reportedly struck anyway. Ian Bremmer of Eurasia Group says the days of quietly paying off the Houthis are over, since MBS can’t look this weak with his main airport shut and Aramco taking direct hits: “This war almost certainly gets worse before it gets better.” Trump is playing go-between with Ankara, whose drones and strike jets could join the fight, while Saudi checks could pull Pakistan in... the first real test of a Muslim NATO built without Washington at the center. @ianbremmer

🇺🇸 These Delaware teens took ding-dong ditch to the next level. They showed up at people's doors around 11pm wearing hockey masks and tactical vests, carrying a gel bead gun that looked like a real rifle. Neighbors were panicking thinking they were getting robbed. Now the 16 and 17-year-old are facing charges. Bold strategy, kids. Writer: Daniyal t.co/GqiMwlAY9u

🇻🇦🇺🇸 Pope Leo XIV has lung cancer, and surgeons just removed part of his right lung The Vatican confirmed Tuesday that the "small, localized nodule" the 71-year-old American pope disclosed on Sunday turned out to be adenocarcinoma, the most common form of lung cancer. Doctors at Rome's Gemelli Hospital took out the lower lobe of his right lung in a 90-minute operation they called successful and free of complications. Leo walked into the hospital on his own, waved to the crowd outside, and has no known history of health problems. He has about a week in the hospital ahead of him and a major South America trip scheduled for early November. Catching it early is good news, but anything requiring his signature now waits, and the Vatican has no rulebook for a pope who can't work. Source: Associated Press / Writer: Daniel

🇺🇸 Robert Kelker-Kelly has died of cardiac arrest at 62. The “Days of Our Lives” star was on his way home from the airport when he felt pain in his chest, neck and left arm. He decided not to go to the hospital and went to bed instead. Not long after, his wife found him not breathing. He had no known health problems. It’s a heartbreaking reminder that chest, neck and arm pain can be a sign something’s seriously wrong with your heart, and it’s always worth getting checked right away.

🚨🇺🇸🇸🇦 FBI arrested a Saudi OpenAI engineer for allegedly PLANTING A HIDDEN MIC in an executive conference room, and OpenAI used its own AI to catch him. Abdulrahman Alfozan, 35, allegedly hid a recorder behind a TV. OpenAI identified and fired him before handing the case to the FBI. The device was stuffed in a USB port and wrapped in toilet paper. Kash Patel called it a direct threat to American super-intelligence work. The interesting part is that OpenAI’s own AI helped expose an insider allegedly spying on the company. That’s the kind of loop the whole industry is built on now, and it’s also the kind of risk that keeps getting harder to police. Source: FBI / Writer: Lucas

🇾🇪🇸🇦 Yemen has endured more than a DECADE of devastating war, and one Yemeni journalist is furious about how little attention the country has received. Hussain Al-Bukhaiti claims Saudi Arabia carried out more than 300,000 airstrikes on Yemen since 2015 and that the blockade killed 500,000 Yemeni civilians. His accusation against Western media is brutal: “They make it look like the war started 2 months ago.” Yemen's humanitarian catastrophe has been unfolding for YEARS, with civilians paying an enormous price. An entire generation has grown up surrounded by war, hunger, and destruction. Writer: Sol t.co/nh6DPe8m3R

🇺🇸 Wall Street's bull market just turned FOUR YEARS OLD, and investors are starting to wonder how much longer the party can last. With BILLIONS pouring into AI and tech stocks already riding massive gains, the big question is whether companies can actually deliver the profits needed to justify all that spending. Some people believe AI could keep the rally going for YEARS. They're betting on the infrastructure behind the AI boom, particularly memory chips and the companies building the technology that makes it all possible. The AI buildout is still in its early stages, and there's plenty of growth left beyond today's biggest tech winners. Writer: Sol t.co/z6PHg8SQgf

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Trump may not need another major attack on Iran to bring down the regime We had a fascinating disagreement with Will Chamberlain about whether America is actually winning its war against Iran. Will believes Washington has the upper hand, and that time is working against Tehran. His argument is that Iran's economy cannot survive indefinitely under sanctions and a naval blockade. Its currency is collapsing, its ability to trade is severely restricted, and he believes the regime will eventually be forced to make concessions or face collapse. He expects Trump to maintain that pressure after the midterms, regardless of the election results. But there's a serious problem with this calculation. Iran is still fighting. Its missiles are still threatening shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, and the economic consequences are increasingly being felt far beyond the Middle East. Will acknowledges that his original prediction of an Iranian collapse within six weeks was wrong. Yet he remains convinced that the regime's position is deteriorating faster than America's. We also discussed the possibility of U.S. intervention in Yemen, where he was surprisingly reluctant to support another American military commitment on Saudi Arabia's behalf. Will sees a blockade that is gradually breaking Iran. But there's also a strategy that depends on Iran breaking before the economic, military and political costs become too great for America itself. And nobody can confidently tell us which happens first. @WeTheBrandon @willchamberlain

👽 Forget the nuclear arms race. The U.S., China, and Russia could now be competing over who reveals ALIEN SECRETS first. Rep. Eric Burlison is warning that Washington could suffer a massive propaganda defeat if Beijing or Moscow beats Trump to the punch on UFO disclosure. Trump ordered federal agencies to identify and release UFO-related records back in February, but the really WILD claims are coming from elsewhere. UFO researcher Simon Holland alleges that Russia and China may have already received communications from an EXTRATERRESTRIAL CIVILIZATION and could be waiting for the perfect moment to reveal them. There's ZERO independently verified evidence supporting that claim, and neither government has confirmed any alien contact. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has been releasing historical UFO files, including a CIA report describing a mysterious disc-shaped object with rotating lights over an airport in Zimbabwe. What a time to be alive! Source: NYP, insiderpaper / Writer: Sol

🇺🇸🇸🇴 Trump is demanding answers from Ilhan Omar over her finances, questioning how her reported net worth could reach $30 MILLION while she says it's closer to $100K He's now suggesting the higher figure could be connected to FRAUD in MINNESOTA and questioning where her properties and other assets came from. Gotta examine the discrepancy for sure! Particularly what her financial disclosures actually show. Writer: Oliver

🇬🇧🇮🇷 Britain's MI5 says it's now spending more resources countering foreign threats than it did during the Cold War. Russia is allegedly recruiting criminals for sabotage, while Iran is accused of expanding its operations from targeting dissidents and Jewish communities to military installations. More than 50 Iran-linked arrests have reportedly been made in Britain over the past year. But one warning from MI5 chief Ken McCallum really stood out. He says AI could eventually help terrorists develop biological weapons, while more advanced AI systems might become intelligent enough to outthink humans. Quite a lot to worry about for an intelligence agency already dealing with Russia, Iran, China and terrorism. Source: NBC News / Writer: Oliver
