🇮🇱🇵🇸 The IDF says it killed one of the Hamas operatives involved in abducting Shani Louk on October 7. His name was Tamer Mohammad Ibrahim Al-Zabaq. According to Israel, he was still active in Gaza, helping Hamas rebuild and planning more attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers. And that's what makes this story particularly grim. Israel says a man involved in one of the most horrifying scenes of October 7 was still preparing for the next round, even with a ceasefire in place. Writer: Oliver t.co/iAOzrK6WEj

🇺🇸 Trump's approval ratings are reaching HISTORIC LOWS, and the numbers are getting downright BRUTAL. A Reuters/Ipsos poll puts him 35 POINTS UNDERWATER, with an astonishing MINUS 54 among independent voters. And it gets worse. Four separate polls show Trump at least 31 points underwater, worse than any previous president in October before a midterm election. Even Harry Truman, who was 30 points underwater, didn't sink this low. Writer: Sol t.co/iCEFffeHPN

🇺🇸 TRUMP JUST LOOKED AT THE CHAOS IN FRANCE AND DECIDED TO THROW $400 MILLION AT THE MIDTERMS Not kidding. Trump says more than $300 MILLION has already gone into advertising, rallies, voter outreach and election operations, with total spending set to exceed $400 million by Election Day. And he specifically cites what's happening in France and elsewhere in Europe as part of his reasoning. The man is watching Paris burn and apparently sees a $400 million American campaign commercial.

🇸🇦🇾🇪 Abdullah Alaoudh doesn’t think Mohammed bin Salman believes he can actually eliminate the Houthis. In his view, “victory” for MBS now means something much smaller: weaken the Houthis enough that they are no longer able to seriously threaten Saudi Arabia, then negotiate from a stronger position. Alaoudh thinks even that may be out of reach. His argument is that the current military approach keeps extending the war without changing the basic reality on the ground. “There is no winning either.” So Saudi Arabia may be stuck in the worst kind of war. Too costly to keep fighting. Too weak to end on the terms it wants. @aalodah

🇺🇸🇮🇷 IRAN JUST TOLD TRUMP IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING NEW TO SAY And Pakistan's army chief flew all the way to Tehran to hear it. Iran's parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf says Washington can forget about rebuilding trust until it meets Tehran's SEVEN conditions. That includes demands tied to sanctions, the U.S. naval blockade and the Strait of Hormuz. Ghalibaf accuses Trump of breaking the earlier Islamabad agreement and says American military threats won't change Iran's position. Meanwhile, Pakistan is trying to keep diplomacy alive, with Asim Munir announcing the reopening of the Iran-Pakistan border. Trump wants a deal. Tehran just handed him the same 7 demands and told him to read them again. Source: MEHR news / Writer: Oliver

You sell something online. The customer gets it, disputes the charge, and gets their money back anyway. You're out the product AND the payment. That's the chargeback nightmare for online merchants. And for businesses in industries traditional payment processors shy away from, even getting approved to accept payments can be a struggle. Marshal Pay, from @outlawgamefi, wants to change that by combining the convenience of Web2 payments with the benefits of Web3. Customers can pay by card and other familiar methods, while merchants can settle in regular money or stablecoins within seconds. The system is also designed to keep chargeback risk from landing on merchants in the first place. We're sitting down with the team to break down how payments really work, why chargebacks are such a headache, what makes Marshal Pay different, and what it means for merchants who’ve been burned before. Set your reminders; the full episode lands within the next hour!

🇫🇷 FRENCH RIOTERS have now made it to the ANIME SHOPS. FOR GOD'S SAKE. A French anime shop owner has released security footage showing looters ransacking his store. You spend years building a business around something you love, only to watch strangers help themselves to your inventory. Because apparently smashing up Paris wasn't enough.

🇷🇸🇺🇸🇨🇳 Trump asked Serbia’s former president if he had problems with China like everyone else, and got a little too honest an answer “No, I have no problems with the Chinese.” Trump told him that’s impossible, he said nope, totally possible, then realized he’d maybe pushed it a bit too far. Trump definitely wasn’t expecting that answer from a European leader. Writer: Daniyal t.co/p77O3zpIKW

🇺🇸🇸🇴 Ilhan Omar could face DENATURALIZATION, if investigators can prove she illegally obtained U.S. citizenship... Federal investigators are now digging into both her immigration history AND financial disclosures. Authorities searched Omar's Washington home, seized her phone and passport, and issued more than a dozen grand-jury subpoenas, including to relatives, as they investigate possible fraud or false statements. But none of this establishes wrongdoing... Omar's lawyers say there is *no legitimate basis” to suggest she violated citizenship law, and a previous federal review found insufficient evidence to pursue similar allegations. If prosecutors ultimately prove citizenship was obtained through deliberate fraud, denaturalization could become a legal option. Writer: Samuel t.co/eQUhSRQu7F

🇷🇸🇪🇺🇷🇺 Europe is arming itself for a war that Serbia's Fmr. President Vučić fears could actually happen. He points to Europe's massive military buildup, particularly Germany's defense industry, which he claims has increased its profits SEVENTEENFOLD: “If a gun is hanging on the wall in the first act, it will fire in the third.” Europe says it's preparing to defend itself against Russia. Vučić wants to know what happens when all those weapons are ready. Writer: Sol t.co/jjCxhirKsK

🇺🇸🇺🇦 The Trump admin is trying to DE-ESCALATE its growing confrontation with Ukraine... Sec. Rubio spoke to Zelensky earlier, assuring Trump NEVER ordered Washington to deliberately hurt Kyiv. He told him there's been NO political directive restricting U.S. intel sharing or weapons sales, pushing back on Ukrainian suspicions that Washington was pressuring Kyiv into concessions to Moscow. He acknowledged some Patriot interceptor deliveries may be delayed, but said it's because the U.S. must preserve enough to defend its own bases worldwide. The call comes as Witkoff heads into new peace talks with Ukraine and EU leaders before traveling to Russia. Source: Axios / Writer: Samuel

🇾🇪🇸🇦 Abdullah Alaoudh: Saudi Arabia is getting dragged deeper into a war it cannot win. I spoke with Abdullah about the escalating Houthi attacks on Saudi Arabia, and his assessment of Mohammed bin Salman was pretty damning. He believes MBS knows he cannot eliminate the Houthis. But rather than negotiate, he's doubling down militarily, hoping to weaken them enough to secure a better deal. And now Saudi Arabia is turning to the UAE for help. Abdullah thinks the Emirati-backed forces in southern Yemen have something Riyadh desperately needs: capable fighters on the ground. In return, Abu Dhabi may be seeking concessions over southern Yemen's political future. But what really caught my attention was what Abdullah told me about ordinary Saudis. He says people are increasingly frightened and frustrated by missile warnings, attacks on infrastructure and the constant threat of another strike. And public opposition is extraordinarily difficult in a country where openly challenging the leadership can carry severe consequences. The question I keep coming back to is how long MBS can keep escalating a war that is now bringing the consequences directly into Saudi cities. Abdullah sees no realistic military victory. And the longer this continues, the harder it becomes to imagine a painless exit. @aalodah

Haines was rammed by a car and remains in critical condition. She has had one leg amputated and is sadly likely to lose her remaining one... The motive at this time remains unclear; however, his social media posts would suggest he is of "the left." He is reportedly an environmental campaigner, and is said to have become increasingly erratic over the past several months...

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇮🇷 U.S. CRUDE OIL JUST DROPPED NEARLY $6 A BARREL IN A MATTER OF HOURS Oil traders have two big developments to digest. Trump has waived new sanctions targeting Russia's energy trade, potentially allowing more Russian crude to reach international buyers without additional American penalties. At the same time, diplomatic efforts involving Washington and Tehran are continuing, raising the possibility of an eventual agreement that could ease pressure on oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz. But there's a catch. No U.S.–Iran breakthrough has been confirmed, and the Middle East remains dangerously unstable. Washington is trying to take some pressure off global energy supplies. Whether diplomacy can do the rest is another matter entirely. Writer: Oliver
