06:00 AM Fled Brazil After Election Defeat: Trump Opens America's Doors to Flávio Bolsonaro and His Family

Flávio Bolsonaro has left Brazil following his defeat against President Lula da Silva in the October 25 runoff election and traveled to the United States. Brazil's Supreme Court had ordered the far-right senator to surrender his passports within 24 hours. The order stems from a money laundering investigation, and Bolsonaro denies the allegations. After he missed the deadline, his passports were canceled. How he managed to leave the country anyway remains unclear; according to a senior Federal Police official, he did not pass through a regular border checkpoint. The U.S. State Department has already announced that it will issue visas to Bolsonaro and his family. As recently as Monday, he had insisted that he had never even considered fleeing the country. Lula called his departure shameful and urged him to stay in Brazil and prove his innocence. Donald Trump, meanwhile, claimed without evidence that the election may have been rigged, while history appears to be repeating itself with Flávio's father, Jair Bolsonaro, who also traveled to the United States after losing the 2022 election and was later sentenced to 27 years in prison for plotting a coup.

07:05 PM Ceasefire for a Starving Town: The Guns Fall Silent in Oleshky While Russia Keeps Bombing Kyiv

After more than 4 years of Russian occupation, a local ceasefire went into effect in the Ukrainian town of Oleshky on Tuesday at 3 AM, brokered by Melania Trump with the involvement of Pope Leo. The ceasefire is supposed to last until Sunday, allowing humanitarian aid to get in and residents to evacuate. Both sides said they were honoring it. Of the town's former population of 24,000, only a few thousand remain in the devastated town. Some survive on just a cup of rice or buckwheat a day. Drinking water and medicine are in short supply, while electricity and heating have largely collapsed. Roads littered with mines make even the search for food a matter of life and death. Before evacuations can begin, those roads first have to be cleared of mines. Many of the people left behind are sick or very elderly and can barely manage to leave their homes. Ukrainian politician David Arakhamia called it the biggest de-escalation since 2022. By Tuesday evening, no violations of the local ceasefire had been reported. Meanwhile, Russia launched another barrage of ballistic missiles at Kyiv. At least 1 person was killed, and the city's important Southern Bridge and a university campus were damaged. President Zelenskyy also reported attacks on energy facilities and infrastructure in 10 other regions. Moscow described its attacks as strikes against military targets. Negotiations in Abu Dhabi are expected to continue in early November. Russia is still demanding that Ukraine give up the remaining parts of Donetsk that are under Ukrainian control. For now, the people of Oleshky are simply hoping for food.

05:15 AM Microsoft Wants to Shed 60,000 Employees: Billions for Artificial Intelligence, Cuts for Workers

Microsoft is offering voluntary buyouts to around 60,000 employees, more than a quarter of its global workforce of 223,000. While the tech giant plans to spend $175 billion on investments in 2026 alone, primarily on artificial intelligence, it is looking to cut personnel costs. Affected divisions include Windows, Xbox and Copilot, as well as the finance and human resources departments. Microsoft already cut 4,800 jobs in July, after previously offering buyouts to around 9,000 American employees. The new program is available to eligible employees in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and India. Wall Street took the news in stride: Microsoft shares rose by around 1 percent on Monday.

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.
