Let’s start off the week with some roses for one-and-a-half-year old Bailey, our female Southern pudu! As one of the smallest deer species in the world, they are strictly herbivores and prefer nutrient-rich plant parts, fruits and berries, flowers, even nuts. 🎥: Megan B.

Ukraine has launched its first satellite, OBRIA NANO, marking a step toward building its own communications network. The test satellite was developed by Ukrainian defense tech company Himera in partnership with Danish firm GomSpace. It is now in low Earth orbit and undergoing tests.

The Valkyries fan club just got a little furrier! 😆 Sun bear sisters Pagi and Bulan absolutely demolished their special Valkyries pumpkins, and we have a feeling the Golden State Valkyries will be bringing that same energy to the court tomorrow, too! 🏀💥

As always, Trump is right. “Incumbent” is like “dumb.” Unless you’re a stable genius like the president, you’d never know it has a “b.” Obviously the election must be cancelled.

A win for the resistance! Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva defeated Flávio Bolsonaro to remain president of Brazil, dealing a major blow to the far right in Latin America. Ketchup will be flying tonight at the White House! 💚✊

NEW: Mysterious "flying triangle" sighting leads new government release of UFO documents

Donald Trump knows that he is failing.      He is doing everything he can to hold on to power.     We must not let him diminish our voice.

🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelensky: The speed limits on Starlink and Starshield are still there. The speed has not been restored. And the delivery of interceptors to protect us against Russian ballistic missiles is still delayed. This is a real problem, because the Russians attack us almost every single day.

NEW: A week after ProPublica reported how organized crime is stealing food stamp benefits — aided by the government’s refusal to update benefit-card technology — the Department of Agriculture announced plans to adopt more secure cards with microchips.

NEW AD: Have you seen these anti-Talarico attack ads? Elon Musk paid for nearly all of them. The world's first trillionaire knows if he drags the most corrupt politician in Texas across the finish line, Ken Paxton will owe him everything. Elon Musk: Texas is not for sale.

We found that USPS cuts have caused at least a one-day delivery/postmark delay, most affecting states that allow ballots to count if they come in after Election Day as long as they’re postmarked by that day. Rejection rates increased most in areas that voted for Trump in 2024.

As Hillary Clinton endorses expanding the Supreme Court from nine justices to 13, it’s evidence of a reform idea that’s clearly gone mainstream. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

The Trump family has turned our government into their personal piggy bank. They don't even hide their corruption.

Kansas City No Kings Vote Early ✊🏼 #overlandpark #kansascity #vote

Donald Trump set another record. There’s NEVER been an election (since polling began in the United States) where voters said “corruption” was their top worry. Until now.

🇺🇦🇪🇺 Zelensky: I am grateful for your support for Ukraine. Thank you. We have been through a lot together during these years of full-scale war. None of us wanted this war, absolutely none. But we are the ones who have to deal with its brutality and all the instability it has caused.

Chiricahua National Monument is about to become Chiricahua National Park. After years of pushing, I’m proud this is finally heading to be signed into law. It’s going to create jobs, grow our state’s economy and help preserve one of the most special places in the world.

The Miramar ICE sub-office was built for check-ins and interviews. Now it's a de facto detention center where the elderly and sick are shackled for days without toothbrushes or clean clothes. @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social visited. Here's what he saw:

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Disgusting and disqualifying.
