House lawmakers voted 220-204 to direct President Trump to end the Iran war or obtain explicit authorization, marking a third such measure and the most Republican defections to date. Seven Republicans joined Democrats, providing a symbolic but potent snapshot of political strain weeks before voters decide control of Congress. Democratic leaders immediately framed the vote as a central pre-election push, casting Republicans as tied to an open-ended conflict and rising household costs.

The Associated Press reported that the conflict has reshaped the midterm map and undercut Republicans who want to talk about tax relief and growth. About two-thirds of adults say the war has not been worth fighting, including more than one-third of Republicans, a warning light for tight races. Party strategists and outside handicappers now warn the issue could cost Republicans their slim majorities if sentiment does not shift before Election Day.

A building damaged by Israeli strikes collapsed suddenly in Gaza City early Wednesday, killing at least 21 people in their sleep, including 11 children, in a disaster that forced rescuers to dig through the rubble with bare hands.

Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian used his United Nations General Assembly speech on September 23 to accuse the United States and Israel of attacking Iran and making Iranians “victims of terrorism.” He said, “We have only defended ourselves. We are not terrorists.” A U.S. delegate stood and left the chamber during the remarks, a visible protest against Tehran’s narrative. Major outlets confirmed the walkout and the timing of the speech from the UN floor.

Reuters-syndicated reporting said Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, and the Huairou district rolled out programs to lure studios and creators into AI video, using computing vouchers, rent relief, and dedicated funds. Officials framed the packages as a fast way to scale production capacity. City plans target micro-dramas, visual effects, and post-production. These measures lower startup risk and push small teams to produce daily output. The aid also helps consolidate hardware, software, and training under city-led hubs for rapid growth.

Shenzhen paired subsidized rent with production support to attract startups and established players, while Huairou offered computing credits that cut rendering costs. Beijing set up a large audiovisual technology fund, signaling that national and city-level efforts are aligned on building an end-to-end pipeline for AI content. Together, these supports mimic classic industrial policy. They aim to turn scattered experiments into a reliable supply chain for assets, tools, and finished shows. That approach can compress years of market trial into months.

Webmaster Addition: Everything I knew about visual effects over the last 30 years just became obsolete. And I am perfectly fine with that. I embrace the new technology and frankly I am having fun with it. 

The United States Supreme Court granted a stay that revives a modified federal system to help verify voter citizenship, reversing a lower-court block weeks before the midterm elections. The Department of Homeland Security can again use the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements program to confirm immigration and citizenship status for states conducting voter-roll maintenance. The order, issued on September 25, came on the emergency docket. The ruling was 6-3, with the conservative justices in the majority and the liberal justices in dissent.

The Court’s action allows federal agencies to assist states that request data checks to identify potential noncitizens on voter lists, a step the administration says is vital to protect legal votes from dilution. The Justice Department argued federal law permits this information sharing and that pausing the program so close to an election would harm the government’s ability to ensure accurate rolls. The stay does not end the case. It puts the lower court’s injunction on hold while appeals continue, but it greenlights use during this critical period.

Hannah Gann, a Philadelphia public school teacher and activist, admitted on Instagram that she lied about her background for years, stating she has no Palestinian or Tunisian heritage and is “a white woman of significant privilege and wealth”. Multiple outlets reported that she had presented herself at times as Palestinian, Tunisian, and Black. Her own words form the core record. Her follow-up apology did not walk back the claims, and it stressed that supporters were misled by her deception.

Local advocacy groups said members confronted Gann, asked detailed questions about her story, and that she admitted the lie after about an hour of discussion. Their statement described a full misrepresentation across identity lines. This confrontation and confession narrowed debate about what happened. The groups asked for public accountability, saying the false claims had harmed trust and credibility inside movements that often stress “lived experience” as a basis for leadership and moral authority.

During a discussion of the controversial Lindsay Clancy case, "The View" co-host Sunny Hostin made a terrifying admission.

Not only did Hostin recount serving on the 1991 jury that found a man not criminally responsible by reason of insanity after he killed, dismembered, and cooked a woman — she claimed she was the reason he got off.

“I cannot believe that she thought it would be a good idea to admit this in public on her show that is national,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales comments, before playing the clip of Hostin.

“The reason I feel so strongly about this holdout juror is because I was a holdout juror in a case, in the Daniel Rakowitz case. I don’t know if people remember it,” Hostin began.

Webmaster Addition: It has since been revealed that Sunny Hostin lied about being the holdout. It was another juror who was the holdout.

In 1802, a statement was put to the UK House of Commons that vaccination was “entirely safe” and granted “lifelong immunity.” That statement has been revised over time, but it has never been formally retracted.

Roman Bystrianyk has collected evidence and testimonies regarding early smallpox mass vaccination campaigns, beginning in 1799 and spanning more than a century, proving that the “safe and effective” mantra has always been a lie.

In January, the Trump administration rolled out a pilot program that uses artificial intelligence to authorize or deny certain types of care for patients with Medicare—a federal healthcare program for seniors that previously hasn’t required doctors to get any such pre-approval, called prior authorization.

Not long after, media outlets began relaying the disastrous outcomes: technical difficulties, long delays in decisions and care, puzzling denials, frustrated doctors, and patients suffering in pain. Those reports were largely confirmed earlier this month when the Electronic Frontier Foundation released a tranche of federal documents about the program, called WISeR, that the group obtained amid litigation. The documents included feedback from healthcare providers, including one who called the program “a disgrace to the human race” and reported seeing patients crying in pain as they waited for care.

Amid the worrying reports, lawmakers have been trying to get answers and shut the program down. Meanwhile, the Government Accountability Office determined in May that Trump officials did not follow proper procedure in setting up the program, calling its legality into question. Still, it appears to be moving ahead unabated, with plans to expand in the years to come.

Podcast host and tech journalist Kara Swisher said she asked her agent to secure an early release from her CNN contributor contract. She linked her decision to the ownership shift tied to Paramount Skydance and said she intends to leave as soon as she can. Multiple outlets reported her remarks and her plan to depart once the merger’s legal hurdle fell, reinforcing the timing and motive she described. Swisher’s statement comes as the brand faces yet another change at the top.

Coverage noted Swisher’s CNN contract runs through December 31. One outlet reported it remains unclear whether CNN will approve an early release before that date. Published reports do not include a formal company statement granting an early exit. Still, the through-line is direct: Swisher publicly tied her plan to the new ownership and leadership direction under Paramount Skydance, and she wants to separate before year-end if allowed.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Coast Guard units interdicted a suspicious vessel near Angelfish Creek by North Key Largo in mid-September. Agents reported the stop ended without incident. Officers took 22 migrants and one suspected Cuban smuggler into custody. Reports list the migrants as 13 from China, eight from Ecuador, and one from the Dominican Republic. The vessel was seized. Officials said the action was part of ongoing efforts to police sea routes into Florida.

Customs and Border Protection said an Air and Marine Operations aircraft first spotted the boat and guided marine teams to the contact. That early detection gave crews time to position safely and cut off the vessel near the channel. Florida Voice News reported all 23 people aboard were initially transferred to the Coast Guard cutter Pablo Valent for processing after the stop. Authorities described the operation as swift and controlled, with no injuries reported.

In May 2024, a Jewish man staged an antisemitic incident at The City College of New York’s anti-genocide encampment. The man approached a small group of youth sitting on the encampment lawn, their faces covered by keffiyehs. As the Jewish man approached, he raised his hands in the air, shouting “don’t shoot!” When the youth with keffiyehs got up to escort him out of the area, the man ran away, “artfully,” in the words of Masha Gessen, who bore witness to the incident, as if he was being threatened. The whole affair screamed, manufactured antisemitism. 

In a second case, Yale University student Sahar Tartak alleged: “I was stabbed in the eye last night on Yale University’s campus because I am a Jew.” The story quickly became a meme when the video of the putative “stabbing” surfaced. The video shows a protester waving a Palestinian flag as he passed by Tartak. It’s unclear if the flag made physical contact with Tartak at all, let alone if there was any intentional contact made by the flag holder. It seems more plausible there was intentional contact made by Tartak herself given her camera-ready reaction. It’s also unlikely the man carrying the flag could have noticed Tartak was wearing Jewish symbols, as Tartak alleges, since it was dark and he was marching by in a pack of other protesters. The whole affair screamed, manufactured antisemitism.  

Michele Morrow criticized a local school board during a recent public meeting, arguing that too much time is being spent on affirmations and ideological disputes while basic academic performance and student preparation are being neglected.

Morrow said she has attended meetings for five years and initially planned to address specific changes involving policy 3210 before deciding to focus instead on what she described as a larger problem with the board’s priorities.

“Hello, everyone. I've been coming here for 5 years now, and I was going to talk to you about some practical things that I thought you could change about 3210, but I've changed my mind,” Morrow said.

She said she had become frustrated with the amount of meeting time devoted to praise and positive messaging about schools.

Carl Higbie is arguing that a potential Supreme Court emergency order allowing the government to use government data to verify voter eligibility could become a major issue heading into the midterm elections.

Higbie framed the matter as an election-integrity question, saying government databases should be available to determine whether people who are not eligible to vote are participating in elections.

“This is where we're at, where we have to have the Supreme Court issue an emergency order to allow the government to use government data to verify people who shouldn't be here or, at a minimum, shouldn't be voting to decide who runs the government,” Higbie said.

He described the development as a major political advantage for Republicans, particularly after lawmakers failed to pass the SAVE Act.

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon says about 300 attorneys quit the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division after President Trump’s team redirected the office toward eliminating DEI discrimination and cleaning voter rolls. The division had about 400 attorneys when Dhillon arrived.

Dhillon discussed the sweeping departure during an interview this week with Col. Kurt Schlichter, who was filling in on the Hugh Hewitt Show.

She described the Civil Rights Division as one of the largest operations at Main Justice in Washington.

David Friedberg is criticizing former President Barack Obama’s recent comments about artificial intelligence, arguing that Obama is underestimating the importance of agentic AI and turning one of the most consequential technological developments in history into another political fight.

Obama questioned whether agentic AI is necessary to address major challenges such as cancer and energy, suggesting that society’s needs may not align with the commercial incentives driving technology companies.

“If we are thinking about AI just in terms of how do we cure cancer or get better energy, you can do that without having agentic AI,” Obama said.

Disney is bracing for another wave of layoffs, with its Legal and Global Affairs operation facing a major reduction as the company examines how technology can reshape its work.

The warning comes from a memo written last week by Horacio Gutierrez, Disney’s Chief Legal and Global Affairs (LGA) Officer.

The planned cuts will affect the LGA department, which currently employs about 1,000 people.

A traveler’s bag triggered Transportation Security Administration alarms on July 18 after officers found Civil War era cannonballs packed inside the luggage at Gulf Shores International Airport in Alabama.

The discovery turned an ordinary baggage screening into a cannon related airport scare.

The inert cannonballs had been wrapped in paper towels before being placed in the luggage.

Police later determined that the antique artillery projectiles had been stolen from Fort Morgan, a coastal stronghold located near the airport.

Avila Chevalier, the Democrat nominee for New York’s 13th Congressional District, sat down recently for an interview on ELR News with Kevin Ortega-Rojas and made clear exactly what she intends to do once she gets to Washington, DC.

“I think with DSA specifically, something that I’m very excited to do is to build black socialism within the caucuses of DSA,” she said.

She kept going.

“And something that my team and I were very intentional about we’re making sure that we weren’t just talking about socialism broadly, that we were talking about the legacy of socialism in our district, right? A legacy of black socialism, Latino socialism, that focused on racial justice as economic justice,” Avila Chevalier said.

That’s not a slip. That’s a platform. She ran on this, won on it, and is now broadcasting it ahead of the November general election.

Every election, Americans are told the playing field is fair – that both sides get to make their case and voters decide. It’s a nice story. But what happens when the referee decides one team’s message is too dangerous for the audience to hear?

Political advertising is migrating to streaming at a staggering pace. Industry analysts project connected television spending will surpass $2.5 billion in the 2026 election cycle alone, making it the fastest-growing medium in political advertising. The living room screen that once delivered Walter Cronkite now delivers Hulu, and the platforms behind those screens have become the new gatekeepers of political speech. Most of them accept ads from both sides and let voters sort it out – the way it ought to work in a free country.

But one platform – the second-largest streaming destination for political advertisers in America – has been quietly making sure certain messages never reach you. And if you’ve spent any time watching the culture wars play out over the last few years, the name won’t shock you one bit.

In a rigged poker game, the house doesn’t lose by accident. It loses because someone rewrote the rules while no one was looking. That’s a fair description of what’s happening inside America’s immigration detention system, where criminal aliens have turned legal proceedings into an art form of delay, manipulation, and disappearance.

Here’s how it works. Federal law says certain criminal aliens – convicted drug traffickers, violent offenders – must stay in custody while their deportation cases play out. But several federal appeals courts have decided that if detention drags on too long, these individuals earn a bond hearing. And who’s responsible for making detention drag on? The detainees themselves. They switch attorneys, file frivolous asylum claims, request continuance after continuance – then argue their detention has become unconstitutionally long. If a judge bites and grants bond, they vanish.

Simple story. One rogue juror. Except it wasn’t that simple at all.

Desronvil’s spokesperson, Ray Marcel, punched back with allegations that cracked the whole narrative wide open. According to Marcel, multiple jurors had their cells out throughout deliberations. Some were doing far worse than scrolling.

From the New York Post:

“You will see that the judge had already told the jurors to stop using electronic devices AFTER – and I repeat, AFTER – jurors had allegedly been using their phones during deliberations to look up definitions.

Meaning the Judge already told them to stop. So the court already knows. There were also allegations of jurors posting on social media and discussing with friends what case they were deliberating.”

Jurors were allegedly broadcasting details of a triple child murder case on social media. In real time. While still deliberating. One juror reportedly posted in a Facebook group dedicated to the Karen Read trial – another high-profile Massachusetts case – which suggests less “civic duty” and more true-crime fandom.

North Korea has begun testing swarm attacks combining drones, missiles, rockets and artillery, adopting tactics used in Ukraine and the Middle East that could put greater pressure on U.S. and allied air defences, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Pyongyang this month conducted its first exercise combining attack drones, nuclear-capable missiles, rockets and long-range artillery against a single target, according to the report.

British counterterrorism police declared a major incident near RAF Fairford, an airbase used by the US Air Force, after several men were arrested on suspicion of explosives offenses. RAF Fairford was reportedly placed on "Delta," the highest threat level, according to the national news agency Press Association, now known as PA Media.

PA Media reports that military bomb disposal specialists were examining vehicles in Whelford, Gloucestershire, where authorities declared a major incident and evacuated residents from the area.

Villagers have been evacuated from their homes near RAF Fairford, which is used by the United States Air Force (USAF), and the Army's explosives experts are examining vehicles, police said.
