Ukraine under heavy drone attack as Zelensky seeks direct meeting with Putin

Published by Sam Flores

Russia fired hundreds of drones at Ukraine between late Thursday and early Friday, killing seven people and destroying a factory that produces milk products for children, authorities said. Moscow and Kyiv have intensified drone strikes on each other in recent months as US-led diplomatic efforts to end the war, now in its fifth year, remain stalled over the conflict in the Middle East. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky proposed a meeting with Vladimir Putin in an open letter to the Russian leader late Thursday, saying it was only the leaders who could resolve “key issues”.

Keir Starmer Launches Direct Attack On Nigel Farage's Call For 'Rage' After Henry Nowak Murder

Keir Starmer Launches Direct Attack On Nigel Farage's Call For 'Rage' After Henry Nowak Murder

Published by Sam Flores

Keir Starmer and Nigel Farage Keir Starmer has launched a direct attack on Nigel Farage’s call for “pure, cold rage” in the wake of Henry Nowak’s murder. The Reform UK leader sparked an angry backlash over his comments, which came after Vickrum Digwa was jailed for life with a minimum term of 21 years for the killing. Henry himself was arrested by police officers after being stabbed four times by Digwa, who falsely claimed he had been racially abused. In an “emergency address” broadcast online on Tuesday morning, Farage said the case is evidence of “two-tier Britain” and proved that “an accusation of racial slur [is taken] more seriously than an act of murder”. “The rights and privileges of white people matter less than those of ethnic minorities,” the Clacton MP said. “We should respond to this with pure cold rage,” Farage said. “Britain’s historic way of life is being thrown away.” On Tuesday evening, protesters threw missiles at police in Southampton as violence erupted at a “Justice For Henry” event. At prime minister’s questions, Starmer paid …

A woman riding a MARTA train in Atlanta was killed in a brutal daytime attack Saturday, suffering nearly 20 stab wounds in what investigators say was a seemingly random act of violence, according to the NY Post. Police allege that 25-year-old John Elijah Matthews approached 66-year-old Margaret Swan after boarding the train Saturday morning. Surveillance video reportedly shows him lingering near Swan before pulling out a knife and attacking her. According to court documents, Swan cried out and attempted to get away, but the suspect allegedly restrained her and repeatedly stabbed her. Investigators say the assault continued as the train neared Oakland City Station. Matthews allegedly forced Swan to the floor and remained over her while she lay gravely injured. The NY Post writes that after the attack, authorities say the suspect exited the train carrying the knife, leaving Swan motionless inside the rail car. Responding officers and emergency personnel tried to save her, but she was pronounced dead. The knife believed to have been used in the attack was later recovered. Witness descriptions helped …

Pulte as spy chief would give Trump attack dog access to ‘crown jewels’

Pulte as spy chief would give Trump attack dog access to ‘crown jewels’

Published by Sam Flores

Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, speaks to the press at the White House, July 24, 2025. Sarah L. Voisin | The Washington Post | Getty Images President Donald Trump’s appointment of Bill Pulte to be the acting director of national intelligence will give the president’s housing agency attack dog access to the country’s most prized secrets, a move that analysts fear could further politicize the office and erode U.S. intelligence-gathering. Trump tapped the Federal Housing Finance Agency director, who oversees Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, on Tuesday to replace the outgoing director of national intelligence, Tulsi Gabbard. Pulte is not experienced in national intelligence and was an investor and executive of the homebuilding company PulteGroup before joining the government. As director of national intelligence, Pulte will be at the top of the U.S.’ sprawling intelligence community and have access to the country’s most sensitive national secrets. That lack of experience and Pulte’s penchant for using information from the housing agencies to gin up prosecutions of Trump’s political rivals has alarmed intelligence …
