President Donald Trump’s Air Force One trip Monday will not have a primary print outlet responsible for sharing updates about his activities — the first time in recent memory that the president will travel without a primary print pool reporter.
There is no mystery in Canada's tariffs. They were announced, published, and implemented in public. What is remarkable, however, is the American president's attempt to turn a documented trade dispute into a story of Canadian deception just before the Midterms.By Yiannis Damellos and Mars Strangelove Jr.October 5, 2026
President Donald Trump made an extraordinary claim Monday before leaving the White House for a campaign rally in Nebraska: Canada had been charging the United States tariffs that “nobody knew about” — except him.
I don't hate the idea of Tesla. But I boycott their electric cars because of that Musk Nazi salute. I don't hate China either, but I won't buy into their ideology because it has nothing to do with Socialism. But every once in a while, a number comes along that makes me stop and look at the American economic system twice, and get really angry.
A last recorded meeting between Lennon, McCartney and George Harrison revealed how they might have carried on despite their growing differences
As most Beatles fans know, John Lennon quit the group first, on September 20, 1969, bringing the Fab Four to what most would agree was an untimely end. What many don’t know is that just two weeks before he announced his departure, Lennon proposed that the group record another album as well as release a new single in time for the holidays.
The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments from oil companies on Monday that could help decide the fate of more than two dozen lawsuits accusing the industry of deceiving the public about climate change. The claims seek potentially billions of dollars in damages to help pay the costs imposed by climate-related extreme weather.
How much political space remains when even an authorized rally by the Kremlin's own parliamentary opposition crosses a line merely by asking for fair elections and freedom for political prisoners?Moscow police detained around 60 people Sunday at an authorized Communist Party rally commemorating the victims of Russia’s 1993 constitutional crisis. The rally had been expected to be a memorial. It became something else.
When Leavitt left, Trump wrote this on Truth Social: “Karoline will now be one of my top outside advisors, and an influential voice within the Republican Party, as we work to defy History, and conclusively win the Midterm Elections.” Fox News has just given that voice a microphone.
Karoline Leavitt left the White House at the end of August, saying she had reached a point where she could not give her two young children the attention she wanted while carrying the demands of the press secretary's job. President Donald Trump said he understood, and announced that she would remain one of his top outside advisers and an influential Republican voice. Six weeks later, the next stop is Fox News.
What has happened in Russia's Irkutsk region is a serious public-health incident involving a suspected plague infection. It is not yet a confirmed plague outbreak
A 28-year-old laboratory worker in Siberia is dead. Nearly 200 people have been placed under medical observation. Several hospitals have introduced quarantine measures, masks have appeared at a major industrial plant, Russia's top public-health official has travelled to the region, and governments in Washington and Brussels are watching the situation. It sounds like the beginning of another pandemic story. But it is not — at least not on the evidence available today.
Brazil has finished the first round of its presidential election, but the political story has only become more interesting. Flávio Bolsonaro finished first with 47.03% of the valid vote, while President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva received 45.16%. Neither reached the required majority, so the two will face each other again on Oct. 25. Yet, there is another number worth watching: the votes that did not go to either of them. Brazil had 12 registered presidential candidacies. Augusto Cury, Renan Santos, Ronaldo Caiado and Romeu Zema were among the candidates outside the runoff, and their supporters now represent a substantial political constituency.

The United States rushed over the weekend to withdraw all 12 B-1 Air Force bombers from an air base in southern England after commanders received new threats about an Iran-backed plot against the installation, two U.S. officials said on Sunday.
The most dangerous moment of the Iran war may not be when either side believes it can win. It may be when one side begins to believe it can no longer afford to lose
There is something profoundly dangerous happening in the Iran war, and it has little to do with the daily math of who has destroyed more missiles, aircraft, or military installations. The United States is preparing to put a third aircraft carrier strike group into the region, accompanied by thousands of additional troops. The deployment is being planned as the Trump administration considers its next move after or even before the November midterm elections. U.S. officials describe it as a way to give the president more military options. In Washington, that may be called flexibility. In Tehran, it must look like the battlefield is about to become considerably larger.
Simon Andriesz spent years trying to make people listen. When he finally found the documents he was searching for, he also uncovered something considerably more consequential. Now, at 57, he is dead, and the circumstances surrounding his death remain less clear than the coincidence itself.There is a particular kind of story that begins not with a gunshot, but with a document and a name hidden in a database. An email that should not have existed and a question that refuses to go away. Simon Andriesz was a British former banker and whistleblower who spent years trying to make institutions listen to his allegations about his former employer, BGC, and its then-chief executive, Howard Lutnick. In 2026, he discovered something of far greater significance; a 2018 email exchange between Lutnick and Jeffrey Epstein concerning Adfin, a digital advertising startup in which Epstein and Cantor Fitzgerald had invested. The BBC investigated Andriesz’s discovery and broadcast his story in July. Now Andriesz is dead, aged 57.
Russian authorities are responding to an incident in which a suspected dangerous infection was released as a result of a laboratory accident in Siberia and a researcher died. The incident occurred at the Anti-Plague Research Institute in Shelekhov, near Irkutsk, according to Russian state media TASS.

As Israel prepares to mark three years since the October 7 attacks and with less than a month to go to parliamentary elections, one topic is dominating the electoral agenda. Media reports that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was warned by the United Arab Emirates before the attacks have put his alleged responsibility back in the spotlight. “Did he know?” is the question on everyone’s lips.
Dear Prime Minister,
