All of the 20 remaining living hostages in Gaza have been freed from Hamas captivity and returned to Israel after two years of war.

As part of the agreement, the release of 250 Palestinian prisoners serving long and life sentences is now underway, as is the release of more than 1,700 Palestinian detainees from Gaza held by Israel without charge since the Hamas-led attacks on October 7, 2023. US President Donald Trump is addressing Israel’s parliament now, after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described him in his own speech as the “greatest friend” Israel has ever had...
#2 Trump Says He May Send Tomahawk Missiles to Ukraine - Harry Sekulich and Laura Gozzi for BBC, Visegrád 24, Eric Daugherty, NSTRIKE, Defense Index, unumihai Media, and NEWSMAX on X
US President Donald Trump is considering sending long-range Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine. Asked by reporters on Air Force One on Sunday whether he would provide Kyiv with Tomahawks, Trump replied: "We'll see... I may". The missiles would be "a new step of aggression" in Ukraine's war with Russia, he said. The comments follow a phone call at the weekend between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who pushed for stronger military capabilities to launch counter-attacks against Russia. Moscow has previously warned Washington against providing long-range missiles to Kyiv, saying it would cause a major escalation in the conflict and strain US-Russian relations...

U.S. stock futures rose Monday, rebounding from Friday’s sell-off after President Donald Trump said trade relations with China “will all be fine.” Those moves come after Trump’s Truth Social post on Sunday suggested to investors that the president may not follow through on his threat to post a “massive increase of tariffs” on China. That comment on Friday brought the U.S. trade war with China back to the fore and sent stocks tumbling in a rout that wiped out $2 trillion in market value...

In 2016, journalist Del Bigtree challenged the head of infectious disease at one of the most prestigious medical institutions in the world to conduct the most thorough vaxxed vs. unvaxxed study ever conducted. The expert took up the challenge and ran the study. That unpublished study hasn’t seen the light of day... until now. An Inconvenient Study is an ICAN and Del Bigtree Film. Through shocking hidden camera footage, expert interviews, and archival footage, the film challenges long-held assumptions about vaccine safety, chronic illness, and scientific transparency. The film reveals an unpublished study of vaccinated vs. unvaccinated children inside the Henry Ford Health System. The question is, why isn’t it published? This could change everything… President Donald Trump has received updated flu and COVID-19 booster shots in preparation for upcoming travel, the president’s physician announced Oct. 10. Sean P. Barbabella, a U.S. Navy captain, shared the information in a letter submitted Friday to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. “President Donald J. Trump successfully completed a scheduled follow-up evaluation today at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center,” Barbabella wrote, saying the visit was part of the president’s ongoing health maintenance plan and included “advanced imaging, lab testing, and preventative assessments.” The words of Blaise Ingoglia, the Ron DeSantis loyalist handpicked to lead the Republican Florida governor’s Doge-style assault on local government spending, could not have been more prophetic. “Expect a knock on the door from us,” Ingoglia warned on 1 October as he announced upcoming audits for Democratic-run cities and counties whose “excessively wasteful” pecuniary habits displeased the DeSantis administration. The knock came soon enough, but in an unexpected place. Two armed police officers in bulletproof vests, sent by the criminal investigations division of Ingoglia’s Florida department of financial services, turned up at the home of a retired couple in Largo, demanding to know whether they had sent him a handwritten postcard that contained only three words: “You lack values.” The dream of the nudists came alive in Portland on Sunday when hundreds of naked bike riders joined in a protest outside of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility. The protest outside the ICE facility has been growing in recent days, taking on a whole new flavor on Sunday when the naked bike riders arrived as part of an “emergency” edition of the annual World Naked Bike Ride. According to the Associated Press (AP), the bike ride “is an annual tradition that usually happens in the summer, but organizers of this weekend’s hastily called event said another nude ride was necessary to speak out against President Donald Trump’s attempts to mobilize the National Guard to quell protests.”

#9 ABC Host Pulls Plug on JD Vance Interview Mid-Sentence - Will Neal for The Daily Beast, Kevin Bold/Ron Smith, MattTN, ForthRight Strategy, indy100, and Epoch - Global on X
Things got heated between Vice President J.D. Vance and ABC News host George Stephanopoulos on Sunday (October 12) after the pair clashed on air in a tense interview. The situation went down on Sunday’s This Week, when Stephanopoulos questioned Vance about claims that Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, was heard on tape accepting a $50,000 bribe from an undercover FBI agent posing as a businessperson looking for federal contracts. Vance grew frustrated with the questioning, telling Stephanopoulos, “And here’s, George, why fewer and fewer people watch your program, and why you’re losing credibility. Because you’re talking for now five minutes with the Vice President of the United States...
