02:08 AM Zelenskyy announces new strikes on Russian refineries

Ukraine wants to expand its strikes on Russian oil refineries in response to a new Russian air war strategy. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Moscow has stepped up attacks on civilian infrastructure, roads, schools and hospitals in an effort to drive people out of Kyiv and other cities. At the same time, he stressed that Ukraine would not carry out indiscriminate attacks on civilian targets. In response to strikes on Ukraine's energy system, the focus will be on hitting Russian refineries that, according to Zelenskyy, are helping finance the war. He also reported territorial gains in the Donbas and said he currently sees no sign that Vladimir Putin is seriously interested in peace talks.

01:30 PM Fairford investigation: Arrested British-Iranian man released on bail

British counterterrorism police have released a 25-year-old dual British-Iranian national on bail after he was arrested in connection with a suspected attack plot involving RAF Fairford. The man was taken into custody on Thursday on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts. Five British men had already been arrested near three vans and were later released on bail under strict conditions. Investigators found gasoline in the vehicles, but no improvised explosive device. Police are still looking into whether a foreign state may have been involved. Prime Minister Andy Burnham said there could be a link to Iran, while Tehran has rejected the allegations.

01:50 AM Trump’s anti-crime operation trips over its own people - second soldier arrested in 2 months

A soldier from Trump’s anti-crime task force in Washington has been arrested over an unauthorized firearm. The 22-year-old Jakob Noonan of the Oklahoma National Guard was off duty, out of uniform and carrying his own weapon. The documents, which we also have, show that his vehicle was stopped because of an expired tag and that a Park Police officer noticed an empty holster. Noonan’s arrest is already the second involving a member of this task force within 2 months. Trump sends the National Guard into the capital to fight crime - and once again, one of his own people ends up in court himself.

12:40 PM Supreme Court Heads Into Another Trump Round: How Far Can the President Go?

The Supreme Court begins another round in the power struggle over Donald Trump's presidency on Monday. After a term in which the conservative majority repeatedly granted Trump far-reaching powers while also drawing limits on tariffs, birthright citizenship, and the Federal Reserve, the next conflicts are already lined up. The Court will hear cases involving key parts of his deportation policy, including detention without a hearing on release on bail and deportations to third countries. Other cases could involve Trump's ban on transgender people in the military, cuts to research funding, his intervention involving federal prosecutors, and the suspension of asylum rights at the border with Mexico. The Supreme Court is no longer deciding only individual government actions, but again and again how far a president may stretch existing laws, bypass them, or enforce his will against other branches of government. For Trump, this begins another legal test before the very court whose conservative majority he himself played a decisive role in shaping.

04:14 AM Judge Todd Edelman shuts down Trump’s Reflecting Pool case - charges against former Olympian permanently dismissed

Judge Todd Edelman in Washington has permanently dismissed the case against former Olympian David Hearn. The dismissal was “with prejudice,” meaning prosecutors cannot simply refile the charge. Hearn had been accused of damaging the Reflecting Pool. New documents from the Interior Department showed, however, that the damage apparently resulted from a botched installation by a contractor. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro had already dropped the case at the end of July for that reason. Trump publicly attacked her afterward and still continued claiming that Hearn had caused the damage.

01:30 AM Trump sends 3rd aircraft carrier toward Iran - 9,000 more troops on the way

Washington is massively increasing its military presence in the Middle East: Around 9,000 more troops are on the way, including more than 7,000 sailors and 2,000 Marines. With the USS Theodore Roosevelt, a 3rd U.S. aircraft carrier could be in the region by the end of October, bringing the total to more than 20,000 Navy personnel and Marines along with hundreds of aircraft. Trump is explicitly keeping new bombing of Iran after the midterm elections on the table and openly says Tehran’s latest ceasefire proposal was “not good enough” for him. At the same time, he claims early indications point to an Iranian connection to the attack by a FlyDubai co-pilot, but offers no details. If that is confirmed, Trump is threatening harsh retaliation. What began as a war that was supposed to last only weeks is looking more and more like a conflict for which Washington is now bringing in even more carriers, troops, and firepower.
