First Musk said he did not disable Starlink for Ukraine. Now he's confessing to disabling it but says he was justified in doing so. Congress, if you can hear me, we need hearings when Dems take over. www.cnn.com/2026/10/25/e...

🚨 Netanyahu is threatening renewed war with Iran just days before Israel's elections. Israel's military chief has reportedly warned that restarting the war this close to the vote could force an indefinite delay. That appears to be exactly what Netanyahu wants.

Political power is meant to be used to fight for the people you serve, not to line your own pockets and sell out millions of our tax dollars for a quick check.

Trump is straight up saying during speeches that he wants white people coming to the country but not black. I don’t know what else people need to see.

You didn’t even mention how Trump’s ICE terrorized and deported their entire workforce. Farmers, is it good for your business when a president drives away your customers, raises your input costs by 200%, destroys your international markets, and deports your workers?

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?
