A corrupt Trump administration has maliciously refused the courageous people of Ukraine the tools they need for self-defense.
A Russian drone hit two trains stopped at a station in central Ukraine, killing at least 13 people and injuring 10 others, officials said. apnews.com/article/russia-uk…

GOP Lawmaker on Epstein Files: "I do think that perhaps early on some of those files disappeared. It says something about the … liberal elites. Their sexual mores are very different than that of the average person."

So, Russia is working with the Houthis to target Saudi oil infrastructure and drive up world oil prices to help the Russian economy. And Trump is not helping the Saudis defend while also threatening to escalate his war--which also increases price of oil.
It all helps Russia--funny that.

Fox: Why are you here this morning?
Rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front. (2026)

Lt. Gen. Brett Sylvia's dismissal has generated widespread anger and frustration at top level of the Army. A common refrain today from active and retired senior Army officers: "This is Bulls**t!" h/t @nancyayoussef nytimes.com/2026/10/29/us/he…

NEW from @nytimes: Trump gave orders that led to Flávio Bolsonaro and his family entering the US on parole status. They will likely get permanent residency later, as his younger brother Eduardo did in July. A White House official arranged a private jet to help them flee Brazil.

“This spring, the U.S. military faced a similar dilemma in the Middle East. According to a Reuters report that cited Pentagon documents, U.S. forces used Starshield to pilot their drones for strikes against Iran. When SpaceX found out, it raised the price for Starshield service in that region from roughly $5,000 per terminal per month to $25,000. The Pentagon agreed to pay.
In Ukraine, Musk could be attempting a similar upsell.”

NEW: Our reporting found the recent Starlink outage in Ukraine could be part of an elaborate upsell.
When U.S. officials asked Musk's company about it, they were told the problem could be fixed by upgrading to a new contract.

"It cannot be stated often enough or vociferously enough: the Trump Administration is helping Russia to conquer Ukraine. The United States of America has taken the side of an aggressor against its innocent victim."

It's true: Lt. Gen. Brett Sylvia has been ousted from his Joint Staff role, say officials familiar w/ the issue.
Several voiced exasperation, citing his work as a well regarded 101st Airborne Division commander. He's also a recipient of the Bronze Star with V and Purple Heart.

54+ hours into the Oleshky ceasefire, the First Lady amplifies Putin envoy Kirill Dmitriev and bills a Newsmax crew as "neutral observers." With no US officials on the ground, that crew is effectively the American presence. The US side is reportedly coordinated by Marc Beckman, her private adviser and producer of her documentary, with no diplomatic or humanitarian experience.
Saving lives in Oleshky matters most. But is this becoming PR for both the White House and the Kremlin, packaged as a MAGA win before the midterms?
