Tariffs, inflation and fuel prices dominate, in a farm state that feels all three. YouGov finds Turek winning some Trump 2024 voters. Prediction markets still favour Hinson, around 57%. Early voting is open, a race this close comes down to turnout. #USPolitics

Trump won Iowa by 13 points in 2024. Now its open Senate seat is a coin flip. Polling average: Democrat Josh Turek 46.4%, Republican Ashley Hinson 46.0%. Iowa hasn’t elected a Democratic senator since 2008. In YouGov’s poll, 54% of likely voters disapprove of Trump. #USPolitics

These Patriots are defensive weapons, already paid for by Europe. They stop missiles aimed at Ukrainian homes. Delaying them to pressure Kyiv puts Ukrainian lives on the table. Warm words for Putin, roadblocks for Zelensky. That isn’t diplomacy. It’s a dirty tactic. #Ukraine #Trump

It reaches the top. Farage was filmed telling a candidate who told Lammy to “go home to the Caribbean” to just apologise and move on. Reform MP Sarah Pochin was caught saying the party excludes women. One scandal after another, and Reform is now third in the polls. #UK #ReformUK

A year undercover inside Reform UK, by ITV. A councillor calling Asian families “parasites.” Another talking about killing migrants. An aspiring MP proposing “concentration camps” for asylum seekers. At least five resigned or suspended. Reform says: “a handful of individuals.” #UKPolitics #ReformUK

We can’t prove the tapes, and we’d rather stick to what’s on the record. And the record is enough: a sanctions law waived, a diesel deal, Kyiv’s satellite internet throttled, a summit without Ukraine. You don’t need kompromat to see where this is heading.

Putin will meet Trump and Xi, but not Zelensky. He’ll talk about Ukraine with everyone except Ukraine. That isn’t a peace process. It’s a buyer’s market, and Ukraine is the product. Europe should be at that table, or make sure there isn’t one.

A former Russian intelligence officer told the WSJ Putin dreams of a second Yalta: great powers carving the world into spheres. Trump’s latest: Zelensky “doesn’t want to end this war.” Taiwan is watching. If Ukraine can be bargained over, why not Taipei? #Putin #Trump

Putin wants to decide Ukraine’s future at a table with Trump and Xi. No Ukraine, no Europe. Per the WSJ, he proposed the summit for next month in China. The Kremlin confirms talks. A US official says Trump could be open to it. #Putin #Trump

A diesel deal, a sanctions law waived, Kyiv’s satellite internet throttled, and now a 60 day pause on sanctions, with more relief reportedly on the table. All in one month, and every move helps the same side. More and more, Washington acts less like a Western ally and more like Moscow’s.

The latest one is in the 60 Minutes preview: federal agents showing up where election staff work, two weeks before the vote. How far it really goes, we’ll only know once the full report airs. But the people who count our votes shouldn’t have to work under that kind of pressure.

Federal agents at election offices, two weeks before the midterms. That’s what 60 Minutes documented. Add the calls for martial law if the vote is “rigged” and the raid on a congresswoman’s home. It all points one way: an attempt to bend a free election before a single vote is counted.

Trump praised Netanyahu for facing opposition “even from Israel, itself.” In a democracy, that’s called voters. Netanyahu ran on Trump in 2019 too, with billboards of their handshake. This time, Israelis are less sure what a Trump endorsement is worth. #Israel #Trump

Nine days before Israel votes, Trump endorsed Netanyahu: anyone else would be the “wrong Leader.” In June, Trump admitted he’d privately called him “crazy.” The race is neck and neck, and many Israelis still blame Netanyahu for failing to prevent October 7. #Israel #Trump

Meta blocked the organizers’ Instagram, restored it, but left them unable to post on rally day. Then it admitted it made a bad call. People march for free elections, and the platform they organize on fails them two weeks before the vote. The best answer is the one on the signs: vote early.

Hi Angelica, heads up: there’s an account impersonating you on Bluesky, @angelica76757666.bsky.social. It uses your name and photo, has 0 posts, follows lots of people, and pushes a Telegram link asking people to “message me directly.” It looks like a phishing account. You may want to report it.

A week before the runoff, a court had to order Meta to treat both candidates equally. If an algorithm can tilt an election, it’s a political actor, and it should follow the same rules as one. Brazil is doing what most democracies still won’t.

The Houthis are nervous. Their parliament speaker urged Egyptian lawmakers to vote the measure down, warning of “grave danger” to Egypt. Egypt’s warships guarded the Bab al-Mandab last time. Now the Houthis hold the coast next to it. Every country that joins makes this war bigger. #Egypt #Yemen

Saudi Arabia asked its friends for help, and they’re answering. Egypt promised “all necessary and possible forms of support,” and its parliament votes today. Turkey and Pakistan agreed to send forces. And the ally that turned down Saudi requests for strikes? Washington. #Egypt #Yemen

Hundreds of trees cleared, then a push to remove the judge who objected. Fuel prices are high, a war rages in Ukraine, and the administration’s legal energy goes into a golf course. Strange priorities for Washington right now.

Same week: a deal to buy Russian diesel, and Ukraine’s military satellite internet throttled without warning. Even Republican Don Bacon: “The President is prolonging the war, not ending it.” And fuel prices? The real shortage comes from Hormuz and the Iran war. #USA #Russia

Last month Trump signed a bipartisan law to sanction Russia. Friday night he waived most of it, two days before it took effect. It allowed tariffs of up to 100% on the biggest buyers of Russian oil. His order says the waiver is in the national interest. It doesn’t say why. #USA

At his Novi Sad rally, Vučić blamed “billions” from abroad. Fico spoke. Mladić flags flew. Hungarian volunteers who helped stop vote buying in Orbán’s last election are heading to Vojvodina to watch the polls. Hungary: from Vučić’s closest ally to the example. #Serbia

Serbia votes in 8 days. Vučić hit his term limit as president, quit early, and now runs for PM. His challenger: students who rose up after a station roof killed 16 in Novi Sad. Poll average (Poliwave): his party 44%, students 39%. Projected: 8 seats short of a majority after 14 years. #Vučić

He sued the BBC for $10 billion, then skipped his own deposition. Plaintiffs don’t get to skip the part where they answer questions under oath. If the case were strong, he’d want that chair. Now a judge may make him sit in it.

A second probe, into her finances, is run by Jeanine Pirro, now DC’s top federal prosecutor. In 2019, Fox News publicly rebuked Pirro, then its own host, for suggesting Omar couldn’t be loyal to the Constitution because she’s Muslim. Trump says he has nothing to do with it. #USA

In 2019, Trump’s people searched Ilhan Omar’s immigration records for fraud. Investigators found nothing and dropped it. Now the same claims are back. This week federal agents searched her home and took her phone and passport. What changed: the evidence, or the politics? #USPolitics #IlhanOmar

Jet-powered Shaheds fly too fast for the machine gun crews that stop the old ones. That’s why fighters matter now. Gripens can fly from short stretches of road and cost little to operate. Exactly what Ukraine needs. Sweden is delivering. Europe needs more of this, not more statements.

The debates came down to Trump. Jackson hit her for helping advance his 2025 tax bill. Collins says she opposed him on tariffs, immigration and the Iran war. On prices, Jackson blames the war for heating oil costs. Collins blames state energy policy. #Midterms26 #Maine

Collins has won Maine five times. Now she trails in three of the last four polls: Jackson 51-47 (Marist), 50-46 (Washington Post), tied in CBS. The only GOP senator running in a state Harris won. Yet 57% of Mainers still expect her to win. #Midterms26 #Maine

Trump finds Zelensky harder to deal with than Putin, he says. Hours later, the Kremlin agreed with him. Russia kept hitting Ukraine’s power grid through the energy ceasefire. Ukraine stopped, then resumed. When Moscow backs your line on the war, something is upside down.

Those drones include the interceptors that shoot down Russian Shaheds over Ukrainian cities. The pressure is about refinery strikes and US fuel prices. But experts say prices come mainly from the Iran war. Someone in the White House made this call. Who? #Ukraine

The order to slow Ukraine’s military Starlink came from inside the White House, two US officials and a Western official told Reuters. The White House says the president never asked for it. It won’t say if anyone else did. Ukraine’s drones are now capped at 160 km/h. #Ukraine

Why can’t Saudi Arabia stop them? It spends $82B a year on its military, but built its defenses for jets and missiles from Iran, not cheap drones flying low from Yemen. A $3M Patriot against a $20K drone: a hammer against a mosquito, analysts say. #MiddleEast
