Russia murdered 25 innocent people overnight in Ukraine, 5 were children; the missiles and drones targeted them while they slept to maximize the casualty count. Trump will call Putin immediately, to wish him a happy birthday.
This image appears to show a Ukrainian State Emergency Service worker carrying a rescued animal wrapped in a patterned blanket at the site of a deadly missile strike in Pryluky, Chernihiv Oblast.According to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, the image shows emergency responders fighting a fire at a garage cooperative in the Darnytskyi district of Kyiv following a Russian aerial attack on October 6, 2026.

Social media reports and videos from late last night also show Rockford police arresting what appears to be a minor child at a demonstration outside the Radisson where locals have seen ICE vehicles. At least one other person also arrested; the child suffered injuries.

Note: Rockford is *very* far from Chicago. Not the same metro, not the same county, a solid 90 minute drive in favorable traffic. Agents have also been seen in Kankakee yesterday and today...totally opposite side of the state, an hour or so south of Chicago.

An amateur archeologist has discovered Germany’s largest-ever hoard of ancient Roman silver coins. Oliver Reidl was searching a field in Wesseling. Researchers later recovered 934 silver denarii dating to the reign of Emperor Hadrian, nearly 2,000 years ago, between 39 B.C. and A.D. 459.

Incredible. First Secretary Mullin claimed that DHS had identified 15,903 noncitizens on Nevada’s voter roll. Then DHS officials told a skeptical Nevada, no no no, that’s just people we flagged. Here are the names of 185 people we KNOW aren’t citizens. All 185 were citizens. DHS got 100% wrong.
When the Department of Homeland Security sent Nevada a list of 185 names last month that it claimed identified noncitizens who had been improperly allowed to register to vote, state election officials got to work.
On Tuesday, the state sent a strongly worded rebuke to the federal government: Every single person on the list was a lawful citizen.
"As for the 185 individuals, our records indicate that they were citizens," Greg D. Ott, a deputy attorney general in Nevada, wrote, according to a copy of a letter sent to Department of Homeland Security officials obtained through open records requests.
"You have provided nothing of substance to suggest otherwise."Following the meeting, Ms. Vogt sent a clarifying email to Nevada officials. "I also wanted to be sure I clarified that we did not reduce the 15,903 to 185," she wrote. "We've manually reviewed some of the 15,903 and confirmed 185 are not U.S. Citizens."
Now, Nevada officials are saying even that 185 number is wrong. They also took issue with a letter D.H.S. sent them in early September, in which the agency reiterated its initial claims about nearly 16,000 noncitizens on the rolls and pressured state officials to review each case in a letter to Nevada officials in early September.

Trump ponders openly over whether he feels like committing mass murder or not, his actions are on the heads of every US citizen when done as a rep of the US at the UN. A UN inquiry recently found the US responsible for the murder of civilians in Iran including the massacre of over 100 little girls.
