Speaking exclusively to Fox News Digital on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York on Wednesday, Janša said the international body must give greater attention to conflicts beyond the Middle East rather than concentrating its diplomatic efforts on a single crisis...
#4 Judge Orders White House to Restore Access for CNN, MS Now, and Politico - NBC News, Unlikely Buddha, CBS News, Sergeant News Network, B.Love3, and People on X
A federal judge ordered early Thursday that the White House immediately restore access for CNN, MS NOW and Politico, saying that President Donald Trump’s directive barring the three news outlets was most likely unconstitutional. In granting a 14-day temporary restraining order reinstating the outlets’ access while their legal challenge proceeds, U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly wrote that the plaintiffs are likely to succeed in their lawsuit against the Trump administration, at least on the grounds that their credentials were revoked last week without due process.
#5 Trump Greets XI With Lavish Fanfare - Stephen Collinson for CNN, XRP Truth Network, Annmarie Hordern, Mr.Topic, Jonathan Lemire, and Gunther Eagleman™ on X
Andrews, Maryland, on Wednesday. Kevin Lamarque/Reuters The lavish fanfare President Donald Trump is laying on for China’s leader Xi Jinping implies that a grand global moment is at hand. In an unusual move, Trump traveled to a blustery Joint Base Andrews to greet Xi at the foot of the steps to his plane when he arrived Wednesday for a two-night stay. The leaders chatted, together with their wives, before strolling down a red carpet side by side. There was one blip in the choreography, however, when a jet performing a flyover split the sky with a thunderous roar during the national anthem, causing Trump to flinch and grimace...#6 Dr. Heidi Overton to Appear Before Senate Committee for Confirmation Hearing as Next FDA Commissioner - Arthur Jones II and Mary Kekatos for ABC News, Reuters Legal, #TuckFrump, Rapid Response 47, and STAT on X

A slow and steady shift is simmering in kitchens across America, and it is not fueled by a new recipe or a new cookbook. Moving from state to state, lawmakers are telling home cooks that they can sell baked bread, raw milk, a plated meal, and even a roasted chicken, to anyone who wants to buy it, without having a commercial kitchen license first. Yes, they can cook and sell their food. For people who are quite done with Big Food, this shift is not a lifestyle trend. It is a wonderful sense of freedom as the government finally gets out of the way...#9 GOP Breaks Ranks on Iran as Voters Fume Over War’s Costs - Alexander Bolton for The Hill, Open Outcrier, Politics & Poll Tracker, The Washington Post, and Kenneth Roth on X
Republican support for the war in Iran is dropping as Senate GOP candidates speak out against it and voters increasingly blame high gas prices on the nearly seven-month conflict. Growing public opposition, even among Republican voters, has put incumbents such as Sens. Jon Husted (R-Ohio), Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska), Roger Marshall (R-Kan.), and Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.) in a tough political position. Several of these Republican candidates, including Husted, former Rep. Mike Rogers (R), who is running for Senate in Michigan, and Rep. Ashley Hinson, the Republican Senate candidate in Iowa, are calling for a swift end to the war...
#10 Netanyahu Expected to Attack Mamdani in UN General Assembly Speech - Taz Ali for The Guardian, Al Jazeera English, Reuters, Voice of Rabbis, The Globe and Mail, Denny Cormier, and NBC New York on X
Michael Oren, the former Israeli ambassador, said he expected Netanyahu’s UN address to resemble a “campaign speech”. “Maybe he’s thinking, ‘if I can attack Mamdani and attack the Iranians, somebody who was wavering between voting for me and voting for (Gadi) Eisenkot may decide to vote for me’,” Oren told Reuters, referring to Netanyahu’s main political rival in next month’s Israeli general election. Mamdani said earlier this year that he was looking into whether his office could arrest Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) over alleged war crimes in Gaza, if he visited New York. Speaking in July, he said: “He’s a war criminal who has been charged by the international criminal court, and what you will find is that is an opinion that is held by many, purely because of what his actions have wrought over these past many years.” But he conceded that he did not have the legal authority to do so. The US is not a party to the ICC and does not recognize its authority...
