Authorities apprehended a man armed with firearms and carrying false press and VIP passes at a campaign rally for Donald Trump in California on Saturday. The suspect, identified as Vem Miller, was stopped by police at a checkpoint roughly half a mile from the rally’s entrance in Coachella Valley shortly before the event commenced, police reported on Sunday. Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco stated, “We likely prevented another assassination attempt,” adding that Miller had plotted to kill Trump. According to authorities, Miller was in possession of a loaded shotgun, a handgun, and a high-capacity magazine, and is believed to be…

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has strongly criticized Donald Trump after the former president demanded that CBS have its broadcasting license revoked for airing an edited segment from a primetime interview with Kamala Harris. Trump also accused the network of being a “threat to democracy” and suggested that other broadcasters should have their licenses taken away as well. In an intense attack that raised concerns about press freedom if he were to be re-elected, Trump labeled CBS as part of a “massive fake news scam” for airing a shorter, more direct version of Harris’s response regarding Israel on 60 Minutes,…

A still formidable but weakening Hurricane Milton made landfall on Florida’s west coast Wednesday night as a Category 3 storm, leaving over 2 million homes without electricity and bringing “catastrophic” winds that are expected to cause widespread property damage. Earlier in the day, President Joe Biden described the cyclone as “the storm of the century.” Milton struck near Sarasota, Florida, just after 8:30 p.m. ET, according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami. Deadly storm surges impacted much of Florida’s Gulf coast, including highly populated cities like Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota, and Fort Myers. Although the storm had weakened…

When they go low, Kamala Harris goes high — Miller High Life, to be exact. The Democratic presidential nominee took her campaign to late-night TV on Tuesday, sharing a can of lager with host Stephen Colbert. It was a moment that distinguished her from both Joe Biden and Donald Trump, who are famously non-drinkers. During the interview at New York’s Ed Sullivan Theater, Harris also sharply criticized Trump over reports that he sent Covid testing kits to Russia’s Vladimir Putin while Americans struggled without them. “He thinks that’s his friend,” she said. “What about the American people? They should be…

Florida’s Gulf Coast is preparing for the impact of Hurricane Milton, with its powerful winds and massive storm surge threatening areas still recovering from the destruction caused by Hurricane Helene just 12 days ago and the devastation from Ian two years earlier. Nearly all of Florida’s west coast was under a hurricane warning early Tuesday as the storm, with 155mph (250km/h) winds, moved toward the state at 9mph, drawing strength from the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Although Milton was downgraded to a category 4 hurricane, forecasters stressed that it still posed a significant threat to Florida. Milton…

Kamala Harris has launched a week-long media blitz, racing between TV studios, late-night shows, and podcast interviews in an effort to gain an advantage over Donald Trump in the fiercely contested battleground states of the US election. These key states remain neck-and-neck as Election Day approaches. The vice president’s decision to engage with largely favorable media outlets comes with just 30 days remaining in the campaign. Already, over 1.4 million Americans have cast early ballots across 30 states. Harris’s media tour has been strategically designed for maximum exposure with minimal risk. She has appeared on CBS News’s 60 Minutes and…

In a final effort to rally Muslim voters before the upcoming election, Tim Walz called for an end to the conflict in Gaza, pledging that, if elected, the Harris administration would work “side by side” with Muslim Americans. Walz made this commitment during a virtual summit hosted by the Muslim advocacy group Emgage Action, following the vice-presidential debate. He acknowledged the deep sense of grief within Muslim and Arab American communities due to Israel’s war on Gaza, where over 42,000 Palestinians have lost their lives since October 7. “Our hearts are broken,” Walz stated. “The scale of destruction and loss…

The possibility of Israel launching a strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities has been a matter of international concern for years, given the high stakes involved in such a military action. The nuclear issue has gained even more prominence since Iran has significantly advanced its nuclear capabilities following the United States’ withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in 2018. The question remains: How likely is it that Israel will take action, and under what circumstances might this happen? Iran is now regarded as a “threshold state” by nuclear experts, meaning it has the technical capability and materials required…

The Middle East faces one of its most dangerous crises in recent history, as tensions between Iran and Israel reach unprecedented levels, threatening to engulf the region in a wider war. Israel recently launched a ground operation into southern Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah positions in what they called a “limited” incursion. This follows the assassination of Hezbollah’s Secretary-General, Hassan Nasrallah, in a devastating airstrike in Beirut’s southern suburb—a significant blow to the organization that has fueled further conflict. Hezbollah, which had been launching rockets at Israel in support of Hamas’s ongoing war in Gaza, responded by intensifying its attacks. The group…

Donald Trump visited Valdosta, Georgia, on Monday, speaking in front of a furniture store gutted by Hurricane Helene. During his visit, he falsely claimed that Georgia’s governor, Brian Kemp, had been unable to reach President Joe Biden. Trump stated that Biden was “sleeping” and that Kemp had been calling without a response. However, Kemp quickly refuted Trump’s claims, explaining that he had been in contact with Vice President Kamala Harris and had spoken directly with Biden the previous afternoon. Kemp mentioned that the president had offered his full support, saying, “If there’s anything else we need, just call him directly.”…
