07:12 PM No Nobel Peace Prize for Trump: Now He Calls Norway a “Shithole Country”

Donald Trump called Norway a “shithole country” at a campaign rally on October 25, 2026, in Port Huron, Michigan. The American president declared that he no longer wanted immigrants from Norway coming to the United States because the Norwegian Nobel Committee had denied him the Nobel Peace Prize. Earlier in October, Trump had already called the decision an “indelible stain” on Norway. Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide reminded him that the Nobel Committee makes its decisions independently and that the Norwegian government has no influence over who receives the award. No actual change to U.S. immigration policy concerning Norwegians has been announced so far. Norway is among the wealthiest countries in the world, and its sovereign wealth fund generated a record profit equivalent to $184.3 billion in the first half of 2026 alone. Trump, who has already hurled similar insults at Haiti, Libya, and other countries, is now targeting the people of an allied European nation with his abuse because an independent committee refused to give him an award.

05.30 AM Trump Exploits September 11 to Incite Hatred Against Muslim Senate Candidate

At a campaign rally in Port Huron, Michigan, Donald Trump compared Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed to the terrorists behind the September 11, 2001, attacks. The president called him a jihadist and a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, without providing any evidence. Trump declared that 25 years after the attacks, Michigan needed to stop such a man from entering the Senate. He also claimed that El-Sayed would be the only senator required to go through a metal detector before entering the Capitol. Shouts of “traitor” and “deport” rang out from the predominantly white crowd, even though El-Sayed was born in Michigan. His Republican opponent, Mike Rogers, had himself made unsubstantiated claims about ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, although he stopped short of calling El-Sayed a terrorist. El-Sayed called the questioning of his loyalty to America shameful and pointed to Trump's financial ties to Saudi interests and the $400 million jet from Qatar. Barack Obama had already condemned the attacks on Saturday as an attempt to portray El-Sayed as less American. On November 3, Michigan will decide a fiercely contested Senate seat, while Trump turns the memory of 9/11 into a political weapon against a Muslim American.

06:44 AM The Internet Runs on PHP, but There's Not Enough Money to Keep It Secure

Two serious security vulnerabilities in the PHP programming language have set off alarm bells around the world. On October 21, 2026, government websites in several European countries were temporarily knocked offline as operators rolled out security updates. PHP powers up to 70 percent of all websites, yet the nonprofit PHP Foundation has just 1 full-time employee and 14 mostly part-time contractors. Executive Director Elizabeth Barron says the foundation is chronically underfunded, even though companies and governments rely heavily on the software. Artificial intelligence helped uncover vulnerabilities that had existed for 10 years, but at the same time, it's driving nearly twice as many proposed code changes, all of which have to be reviewed by humans. Cloudflare recorded millions of attempted attacks, but so far there is no evidence of successful exploitation before the vulnerabilities were disclosed or on systems that had already been patched. A technological foundation of the global internet is being protected by an organization whose staffing barely reflects the importance of its work. What a strange time we're living in, when organizations responsible for keeping us safe online are struggling to survive, just like independent investigative journalism. Both do work that millions of people depend on, while the willingness to support them financially remains frighteningly low. Just how much their work is taken for granted usually becomes clear only when something breaks down.

07:35 PM France Rises Up Again: Hundreds of Thousands Protest Macron as Soldiers Patrol the Streets of Paris

France is seeing another uprising against rising living costs and policies that are making everyday life unaffordable for more and more people. On Saturday, 410,000 people took to the streets, according to the Interior Ministry, while unions say the turnout was twice that number. In Paris alone, 110,000 people demonstrated largely peacefully, while the government mobilized 70,000 police officers and gendarmes and sent soldiers onto the Champs-Élysées. Stores were boarded up, the Louvre and other museums closed, and more than 20 subway stations shut down. Trash cans burned in Marseille, clashes broke out in Lyon, Bordeaux, and Grenoble, and police used tear gas elsewhere. By early afternoon, 135 people had been arrested, many following preemptive searches. The protests, which began with students several weeks ago, have now spread to Belgium and Italy. In Orléans, people also demonstrated against Marine Le Pen's far-right party. "We shed tears for shops, but not for people who are getting poorer all year long," said a 22-year-old student. Jean-Luc Mélenchon announced further resistance if President Macron refused to give ground. France has soldiers, water cannons, and armored police units. They won't do much to help its citizens pay their rising bills.

10:50 AM Americans Are Paying for Trump's Wars at the Grocery Store: Now Republicans May Be Facing the Bill

Donald Trump wanted to make America great again. Now Americans are paying for his foreign policy at the gas pump and the grocery store. 78 percent blame his policies for rising prices while their incomes fail to keep up. The war against Iran is driving up energy costs, and his tariffs are making goods more expensive. Trump, of all people, who promised to keep America out of new foreign wars, has been fighting a war for nearly 8 months that most Americans oppose. To bring down gas prices, he eased sanctions on Russian diesel and pressured Ukraine to stop striking Russian refineries. Ahead of the November 3 congressional elections, he's promising not to launch another attack on Iran for now. His approval rating has fallen to 31 percent, and even Republican candidates are distancing themselves from him. Democrats could win control of the House of Representatives, and the Senate is up for grabs, too. But even a defeat for his party would hardly have to slow Trump down on foreign policy. Washington now faces an uncomfortable possibility: A president who can no longer run for reelection could become even more willing to throw his weight around overseas after losing his majority in Congress.

05:00 AM Hegseth Declares Chinese Cultural Institutes a Threat to America: The Pentagon Sees Propaganda and Mental Infiltration

The U.S. Department of Defense has officially designated Chinese-funded Confucius Institutes at American universities as a threat to national security. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth claims that 80 Chinese propaganda cells have sprung up at 30 universities under different names and with new charters. Their mission, he says, is to steal intellectual property and infiltrate the minds of American students. In a video statement, Hegseth said the Pentagon had systematically dismantled every single one of these organizations over the past 2 months. Washington has accused Confucius Institutes of spreading Chinese government propaganda for years. Hegseth provided no evidence to support his latest accusations in his statement. The Chinese Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In the Pentagon's imagination, language and cultural centers have become a national security issue, where simply having ties to China is enough to raise suspicions of political influence.
