🇺🇸🇮🇷🇵🇸 Rubio says the Middle East’s problems basically come down to one thing: Iran’s clerics. “If there were no radical Shia clerics in Iran, if they didn’t exist, if that wasn’t there, none of these problems would exist. You may still have a Palestinian issue. I would argue that issue would be easier to deal with if Iran didn’t exist.” Maybe so, but the Palestinian issue had a 31-year head start before the clerics took power in 1979, and nobody managed to solve it then either.

🇦🇱 Protests have spiraled out of control in Albania, with one police officer engulfed in FLAMES during anti-government chaos in the capital. The unrest is part of a growing movement demanding Prime Minister Edi Rama's resignation over corruption allegations, rising living costs, university expenses and limited job opportunities. Clashes have intensified since October 13, with government buildings and police facilities attacked and set ablaze. Authorities have arrested around 1,000 people so far.

🇺🇸🇪🇺 Marco Rubio arguing that Europe's self-destructive energy policies set the groundwork for the Ukraine war: "Their dependence on Russian energy is one of the reasons why Putin went into Ukraine because he thought he could. Because he believed Europe wasn't going to do anything about it. So, I hope they've learned that lesson. It seems like they are now, but reversing 20 years of green hyperbole, neglecting domestic energy development, and overreliance on one energy source takes time." Writer: Mhedi t.co/k3Oa2mPNkP

Neuralink is becoming as much a part of patients' daily routine as getting out of bed. For people living with ALS, that means being able to control a computer through their thoughts throughout the day. Think about being able to send a message, browse the internet, or handle everyday tasks when your body can no longer do what you ask it to. An extension of the body. A lifeline that can give people back some independence. Millions of people will one day benefit from that same freedom. @Neuralink / Writer: Annette, Designer: Janné

🇺🇸 A small plane NOSEDIVED into the middle of a busy intersection in San Jose, California, narrowly missing cars and homes. The pilot reported engine trouble just minutes after taking off from nearby Reid-Hillview Airport on Saturday afternoon. The passengers, 2 adults and a child, were injured, and the FAA is now investigating. This could have ended a whole lot worse. Source: ABC7 News Bay Area / Writer: Julie t.co/HZLGZ6t37s

Starlink just picked up a pretty impressive second job. Helping cars navigate without GPS. Its thousands of satellites can provide positioning signals, while Tesla is developing ways to make vehicle location tracking even more precise. Very useful when GPS signals get weak, jammed or unreliable. Another way for a self-driving car to know exactly where it is. The more reliable that positioning becomes, the better equipped autonomous vehicles are to handle tricky conditions. Internet from space was already impressive. Now the satellites are helping with directions too. @Starlink @SpaceX @Tesla / Writer: Annette, Designer: Janné

🇺🇸 A truck carrying over 100 cows fell off a highway bridge in Kansas City and landed on a car. Dozens of cows died, and the rest ended up walking around the city streets in the middle of the night. Such a strange and sad sight. Writer: Daniyal t.co/PRuvJH34KM

Slovakia just gave Tesla FSD Supervised the green light. That's nine EU countries now. The rollout is coming soon, bringing Tesla's advanced driving assistance to more European roads. Think busy intersections, tricky turns, stop-and-go traffic and long drives, with the car helping handle the driving while you stay in control. Every new approval means more people get access to the technology and more real-world experience across different roads and driving conditions. Quite a nice collection of European driving experience building up here. @Tesla / Writer: Annette, Designer: Janné

🇺🇸🇷🇺 Marco Rubio on pessimism that the Russian war can be settled with diplomacy: Reporter: "What evidence do you actually have that Putin is open to peace talks?" Rubio: "What evidence? This is not a criminal case. This is about diplomacy. In diplomacy, you continue to try. Sometimes these conflicts are complicated and deadlocked, in which neither side is making clear victories, but both sides are inflicting tremendous damage. We're just going to keep trying to the extent that we can." Writer: Mhedi t.co/MMbh7Y7JAe

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Whatever happened to ending the war in 24 hours? Rubio now says the roots of the Ukraine war are a tough nut to crack: “Underlying factors that led to the Ukraine War and have persisted are not easy ones to address. But we will continue to try.” Nearly 2 years into Trump’s term, and the plan has gone from 24 hours to “we will continue to try.” Writer: Julie t.co/ECxjRzATM5

🇺🇸🇷🇺 Marco Rubio on why sanctions on Russia have been suspended: "He once again reiterated why he has suspended the sanctions for 60 days. It's because he wants to see if there is an opportunity for the talks that are going on right now, with both Ukraine and Russia, to lead to something positive and avoid another year of war." Of course, it may also be that these sanctions are being suspended so that Trump's diesel deal with Russia could be completed. Writer: Mhedi t.co/hwReI8X0iH

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Russian ballistic missiles hit Kyiv last night JUST as the sirens went off. Last week's missing warnings were blamed on "bad weather." Now Rubio is blaming a SOFTWARE glitch, and he won't go near last night: "A few nights ago, there was a software problem involving Ukraine's early warning system. EUCOM is looking at it. I can't comment on what happened last night." Bad weather, buggy software... what's next, the satellite ate the homework? Sources: Kyiv Independent, Politico / Writer: Julie t.co/o4At1jqXaX

🇺🇸 Hackers could ALREADY BE INSIDE America's POWER GRID AND WATER SYSTEMS, just waiting to flip the switch. Hackers remotely turned supermarket refrigeration systems into ovens, pushing temperatures above 120°F and destroying millions of dollars worth of food. Now cybersecurity expert John Walsh is warning that America's water, electricity and food infrastructure could face similar attacks. Many facilities still rely on equipment that's 15 to 20 years old, running software that's difficult to update and increasingly exposed to the internet. And his biggest concern isn't hackers trying to break in tomorrow. They may already be inside, quietly learning how to shut everything down when the moment comes. Source: Fox News / Writer: Oliver

🇫🇷🇮🇷 IRAN'S FM IS TROLLING MACRON OVER FRANCE FALLING APART Abbas Araghchi has apparently decided that watching Paris descend into riots isn't enough. He wants to rub it in. He's accusing Macron of supporting atrocities against Iranians, then throwing France's own unrest straight back in his face. And the final line is absolutely vicious: “Listen to the future of France, Mr. President.” Macron spent yesterday addressing his nation after shops were looted, buildings burned and thousands arrested. Now he's getting lectures about civil liberties from the foreign minister of IRAN. You genuinely couldn't write this stuff. Writer: Oliver t.co/NbdJA2LPa0

🇺🇸 Abdul El-Sayed is now pulling the JFK card over questions about his family's MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD history. The Michigan Senate candidate is facing questions after his half-sister's old social media posts resurfaced, describing their mother's involvement with the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. One post even said her family had “long been MB.” El-Sayed's response? He compared himself to John F. Kennedy, who faced questions about his Catholic faith during the 1960 presidential election. Which is quite a historical leap. JFK had to convince Americans he wasn't taking orders from the Pope. El-Sayed is being asked about political affiliations described in his own family's social media posts. He denies having any personal connection to the Muslim Brotherhood, and no evidence has established otherwise. But dragging JFK into a controversy involving your half-sister's tweets from 2012 is certainly one way to tackle the issue. Source: Fox News / Writer: Oliver

🇫🇷 PARIS IS LOOKING LIKE A DISASTER MOVIE Except nobody remembered to hire actors. Australian filmmaker James Fenwick has been filming the chaos on the streets of Paris. And the footage is absolutely grim. This isn't some right-wing commentator hunting for the worst possible camera angle. The man is politically on the left, and even through his lens, the scenes are horrifying. At some point, the political arguments become irrelevant. You can sympathize with protesters all you want. It gets considerably harder when the streets start looking like a war zone. Writer: Oliver t.co/WFk4KIuACZ
