🇲🇩 Sandu: I condemn Russia's attack on Ukraine this morning. Its war is dangerously reaching Moldova. 5 Russian air attack weapons, including Banderol missiles and drones, violated our airspace and exploded on our soil. Moscow is putting lives at risk across Europe and must be stopped.

The Russian occupier killed yesterday in a car bombing in Tula Oblast has been identified as Roman Syromyatnikov, a veteran of the 106th Airborne Division's 51st Regiment who fought in Ukraine. He was wanted by Ukraine's Prosecutor General's Office and worked as a college instructor in Novomoskovsk.

Wage growth just keeps slowing. And yes, wages are rising slower than prices, and no, that's not how economic growth is meant to work.
Line chart titled "Nominal wage growth is slowing" showing year-over-year growth in average hourly earnings of private-sector workers. Wage growth has declined steadily from a peak of 5.9% in early 2022 to 3.0% in September 2026, the slowest rate in the series. This nearly 3 percentage point drop over four and a half years indicates significantly cooler labor market conditions, with the deceleration accelerating in recent months as growth fell from the 3.7-3.9% range in 2025 to the low 3% range currently.

At Camp East Montana, an ICE detainee's death was ruled a homicide after guards "restrained" him. Federal investigators later found missing or destroyed evidence, while the camp's contractor failed to provide required use-of-force and death reports.

A detainee's death at ICE's largest camp was ruled a homicide. GAO found the evidence 'missing or destroyed'
Camp East Montana opened without the inspection ICE policy requires. Three men held there died within six weeks. Across the country, people shot by immigration agents are often the ones charged.

I almost hope he does it because nothing would strengthen EU resolve (and weaken AFD) more than a Russian attack on NATO territory. NATO should already have a military reprisal planned in the event Putin does this.

This article is amazing. It wasn't the economy, it wasn't great propaganda, it wasn't a cult of personality around Hitler. Ruch's best take (not sure I agree) is that it was the Nazi's overt calls for violence.
