Zacharia: If Trump sees me on TV and he likes me, then I will be recruited for the job. So I tracked every news hit to be in accordance with what he was pushing forward on Truth Social.

“Disapproval of the job Trump is doing has reached 77% on inflation, 70% on the economy, 69% on tariffs, and 64% on foreign policy…
Trump’s overall job approval is 36%, his lowest ever in a Fox News survey for either term”

Talarico: We've got teachers who are driving Ubers at night to make extra money. The teaching profession is the most important profession because without it there would be no other professions. Everything starts with a teacher in a classroom and we are nickel and diming the important professionals in our community.

A month ago Trump signed a tough Russia sanctions law. One call with Putin later, he's lifting sanctions on Russian diesel, demanding Kyiv stop hitting Russian refineries, and telling Ukraine to get "a new leader." His big "energy ceasefire"? Russian drones hit Kharkiv within hours.
Putin humiliates Trump every chance he gets. Why does Trump allow it? 🤔

BREAKING: Volodymyr Zelenskyy tells @piersmorgan he has been betrayed by Trump, that Elon Musk and the US deliberately cut off Starlink and people are being killed as a result

“This is not the right side of history,” he says. “It is a pity that we are losing a strong partner”

On Musk and Starlink he says: “This decision will bring a lot of human losses. Of course, people will die”

“I am sure they knew what they
did, absolutely. Because it was 1am at night, Starlink was blocked by SpaceX and the United States”

“It’s not just about attack. It’s also about defending life. So people were killed because, not enough destroying, not enough
interceptors, including interceptors with Starlink, which didn't work. Of
course.”

Asked if he’s angry with Musk, Zelenskyy says: “Yes, I think he is not right. It's a big mistake.”

In light of this morning’s Starlink news:

“A U.S. president siding with the Kremlin is quite an October surprise. But in just the past few days, Trump appears to have fully turned against Ukraine” https://t.co/BnkQqVWeK1

Questions remain about Pope Leo’s prognosis after doctors removed a cancerous nodule and the lower lobe of his right lung. The Vatican has not said whether the cancer has spread or what further treatment the 70-year-old pontiff may need, @SayChrisLive reports. The diagnosis also raises uncertainty over his planned trip to South America next month, which would be the biggest international trip of his papacy so far and includes Peru, where he served as a missionary and later as a bishop.

While Musk owns SpaceX which controls Starlink systems and can impose restrictions on them in Ukraine, those that began overnight are on the Starshield military version of the system controlled by the Pentagon. This suggests the decision to limit the speed of the Starshield systems was made within the Trump administration. https://t.co/x4bKeZSikR

AI “worms” could soon be capable of spreading across internet-connected household devices, with little human intervention, according to new research from Anthropic.

“With much less human intervention, you could be looking at potentially destructive acts happening in environments that weren't predicted,” cybersecurity expert Jordan Rae Kelly says.

Speaker Johnson: “Everybody’s frustrated about the high prices of fuel, obviously, but that’s not related to policies, that’s not related to Republicans in office…

…this is related to the straight of Hormuz.”
