Democrats, remember 2024? Don't make the same mistake again.

“The instrument changes were partly motivated by a push to narrow the satellites’ applicability to weather forecasting, rather than conducting climate research as well. Among the instruments that were nixed: a tool to monitor air quality, including hourly monitoring of wildfire smoke; as well as one meant to study water quality and ocean currents, along with harmful algae blooms.”

Russia is cooperating with Iran. So why is Trump cooperating with Russia? Like the diesel deal, this decision is a gift to the very forces attacking our service members.

Dozens of Israeli settlers set cars and trees ablaze and attacked Palestinians as they gathered for their autumn olive harvest across the West Bank on Friday. Masked men, some of them carrying gas canisters, chased and beat people, while others threw rocks and burned trees. Health officials said more than a dozen people were injured across at least eight villages. Among those injured was Heidi Levine, an American photojournalist with The Washington Post. Levine was forced to flee after she says the attackers kicked and beat her, even though she wore a vest clearly marked “PRESS.” Speaking from a hospital bed, she called the attackers “monsters.” “They’re not even humans,” Levine said. “And, yes, they are Jewish terrorists, and they are giving everyone in the country a horrible reputation.” In a statement, The Washington Post said it is “outraged” by the unwarranted attack. The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the violence but questioned what he called “the facts surrounding the confrontation,” saying they “remain unclear and are under investigation.”

Trump’s war with Iran has cost American families nearly $2,000 each - and the bill for his broken promise continues to rise.

Here is what you need to know about the US restricting Ukraine’s access to Starlink this week: On Wednesday, Ukrainian soldiers said they noticed “speed limits” imposed on their Starshields. These are military-grade starlink internet dishes, made by Elon Musk’s SpaceX that Ukrainians strap onto their drones, so that pilots can maintain connection with them as they fly towards targets inside Russia. Access was restricted yesterday by essentially turning off dishes on Ukrainian drones moving above a certain speed. Ukrainian officials told CBS News that SpaceX made the decision unilaterally without informing them beforehand. Musk, in recent days, has shifted his tone on Ukraine, saying that “it is time for [President] Zelensky to go.” But he denied responsibility for these restrictions, saying the US government controls the access to starshield. The White House had threatened to withhold certain weapons and intelligence from Ukraine if Kyiv did not stop attacks on Russian energy targets which Trump blames for higher gas prices… but on Tuesday, Trump told Fox News that intelligence sharing remains in place… This morning, Ukrainian officials said that the Starshield restrictions had been lifted. This is essential for Ukraine’s defense - Starshield is used not only on attack drones but to connect every sensor and weapon system on the battlefield. It would be like if an office had to function without ever being able to connect to WIFI. To appreciate the impact of Starlink in this war - Russia was also using Starlink up until February of this year when SpaceX cut off their access. After that decision, Ukraine gained more than 150 square miles of territory.

JD Vance says this isn’t the time to “gripe about all the little things" like gas, groceries, rent, your mortgage.

"No, I love it. The numbers were great. I love the inflation"

Trump’s recent actions on Ukraine prove what we have always known: his top priority is pleasing Putin first, everything else second.   The day after Russia killed 30 Ukrainian civilians, Trump lifted sanctions on Russian diesel and vowed that the US will buy it—even though Russia is bankrolling Iran in the war the President’s waging.   None of this will bring down prices at home. All of it will embolden our adversaries.

U.S. inflation accelerated last month as gas, clothes, and air fares got more expensive, evidence that rising prices remain an economic challenge just a few weeks before the midterm elections. to.pbs.org/4zSPMGf

Inflation is up again. Not because of a pandemic. Not because of a natural disaster. Because of Trump’s war, tariffs, and corporate tax breaks. It really is this simple: Republicans took over, and then drove up the cost of living in America.
