The image is a promotional poster for an event by No Kings titled "What's Next After 10/17? Election Defense." The event is scheduled for October 21 at 8 PM ET. The background is filled with faint "I Voted" stickers, and a hand holding a megaphone is depicted. Below the event information, additional text invites participation in discussions about voter turnout and election enforcement preparation. The website "NOKINGS.ORG" is repeated at the bottom border.

Putin does not want to end the war, and he will not stop at Donbas. Everyone understands this now. Europe is uniting in support of Ukraine because these risks affect not only Ukraine - they pose major risks to Europe as well.

"Industrial production (IP) increased 0.7 percent in September after edging up 0.1 percent in August. ... Capacity utilization moved up to 76.9 percent in September, a rate that is 2.5 percentage points below its long-run (1972–2025) average." This was solidly above consensus

Remember that everything Trump says is a lie and the opposite is often true. Trump frequently claims he “rebuilt” the U.S. military. That’s the tell. He’s recklessly depleted U.S. munitions and interceptors. And once again, he’s trying to blame Biden.
