Voters in four states will decide abortion measures next week in contests to protect access and, in one case, roll back a constitutional protection voters approved in 2024.

Idaho, Virginia and Nevada voters will all decide on legal and constitutional protections for abortion on Nov. 3, while Missouri will be asked to reconsider rights they endorsed just two years ago. The states are hotly-contested battlegrounds for interest groups fighting over abortion access since the Supreme Court stripped federal guarantees on the procedure in 2022, which triggered a patchwork of restrictions across the US and spurred ballot measures in the ensuing …

Pro-life group calls euthanasia ‘safeguards’ bill the ‘silent death act’– www.lifesitenews.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

The Canadian Liberal government released a new bill designed to look good on paper by banning euthanasia for those with mental illness. However, in reality, if passed, a pro-life group says the “godless” law will allow people to be euthanized without their consent.

Bill C-41, also known as the “safeguards act,” was introduced Tuesday by Liberal Justice Minister Sean Fraser. The bill permanently blocks euthanasia, or Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), for those with mental illness. However, Campaign Life Coalition (CLC) warned that it allows a “godless policy” of euthanasia to continue, leaving only doctors and nurses as a check and balance. 

CLC national president Jeff Gunnarson, in comments to LifeSiteNews, blasted the new bill, saying it is “referred to as a ‘safeguards act,’ but it would be far more accurate to call it the ‘silent death act.’”

“We now see consent being whittled away when it comes to euthanizing sick people,” he said. “Where this slippery slope inevitably leads is euthanasia without consent — a horror that is not without historical precedent.” 

The law sets out guidelines that will allow any Canadian adult to give an advance request to die by MAiD. Canada’s Justice Department claims that the new law does not mean a person would die by euthanasia automatically.

Pete Hegseth Is Trying To Flee The Trump Administration Before He Can Be Impeached– www.politicususa.com

Eight days before the midterm election, two things have become certain. Democrats are going to take back the House, and after they do, Democrats are going to impeach Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

There is a list of Trump cabinet members who are likely to quit when Democrats win back the House, because they will be facing impeachment. Pete Hegseth is at the top of the list, followed by RFK Jr., and Linda McMahon, who has destroyed the Department of Education.

There will be an exodus of people out of the Trump administration after the midterm election. Karoline Leavitt got an early start out the door, but will be far from the last person to leave.

Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) said last month on MS NOW:

 Donald Trump himself has said it multiple times, that he’s planning to give pardons to everyone in his circle. But I actually very much disagree with the idea that we shouldn’t be trying to use every tool we have in the toolbox.

In particular, we have cabinet secretaries like Pete Hegseth, who Republicans think should be impeached at this point because of his illegal killings in the illegal war, and what we’ve seen over the last year is that when Congress did file impeachments, folks like Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi were actually fired by the President because the American people were clear they didn’t want them in those jobs of trust.

So I think there’s a number of cabinet secretaries that have blatantly broken the law, done unconstitutional things, and I think they better get ready because we’ll come for them.

Quick note. The Senate races are close, closer than ever. Be sure to vote!

A flavor of what pro-abortion Democrats are promising…

“Should they win in November, top House Democrats are planning a shock-and-awe legislative sprint to demonstrate within hours of taking power that they are passing bills to deliver on their promises…”

This particular “shock and awe” story doesn’t address Democrats’ goal of creating unlimited “access” to abortion but plenty of prominent honchos were part of a House Democrats’ Cost-of-Living Healthcare Working Group which sent Leader Hakeem Jeffries on September 1 a proposed governing memo. NRLC’s Rai Rojas wrote.

The memo is explicit. “Restore reproductive freedom nationwide,” it says: “Reestablish a federal right to abortion care and end restrictions that prevent people covered through federal health programs from receiving abortion coverage.” The bills named for the opening days and the opening salvos are H.R. 12, the Women’s Health Protection Act, and H.R. 4611, the Equal Access to Abortion Coverage in Health Insurance (EACH) Act.

Trump intensifies anti-Muslim rhetoric against Abdul El-Sayed at Michigan rally – US politics live | Donald Trump– www.theguardian.com

EXCERPT:

Donald Trump intensified his anti-Muslim rhetoric against Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed on Sunday, portraying him as a threat to national security.

The president also questioned his loyalty to the United States in remarks that drew a sharp rebuke from a former top Arab American ally. Trump called El-Sayed, a former Detroit health official, a “jihadist” who was “on the side of the terrorists” and would “have to go through a metal detector before he’s allowed to go into the Senate.”

He also repeatedly invoked 9/11, drawing a comparison between stopping El-Sayed from entering the Senate chamber and the passengers who fought back against the hijackers aboard United Flight 93, AP reported.

El-Sayed, who would become the nation’s first Muslim senator if elected, has called attacks on his loyalty to the country “shameful” and repeatedly denied any ties to extremist groups.

Underwater data centers may be coming to the U.S.—smack in the middle of endangered whale habitat– www.scientificamerican.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

The battle over where to put data centers is heading below the waves: the Trump administration is considering proposals to build two massive underwater data centers off the country’s coast. The sites selected for the projects—one in Cook Inlet, Alaska, and one in the Gulf of Maine—are smack in the middle of two endangered whale populations’ habitats.

Whales are “skittish animals,” says Arial Brewer, a beluga researcher at the University of Washington and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “A massive-scale project like this could really stress them out in a lot of different ways.”

Data centers, with their thousands of servers, generate considerable heat that can damage equipment if not offset in some way. Land-based facilities use massive amounts of fresh water to cool down. By putting a data center underwater, the ocean can easily dispel that heat. “Cooling is a large part of what a data center costs to run, and seawater is a free sink,” says Vishal Misra, a computer scientist and professor at Columbia University.

Trump loses ‘biggest prize’ as far-right leaders topple around the world: expert– www.rawstory.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

A stunning electoral upset just lost President Donald Trump the “biggest prize” — as his allies abroad topple, a political expert told Raw Story on Monday.

Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s runoff victory Sunday against Flávio Bolsonaro, the far-right son of a former president imprisoned for staging a coup, delivered a stinging blow to Trump’s plans, Berea College Professor Carlos G. Poggio told Raw Story.

“Lula’s victory represents a significant defeat for Donald Trump and [Secretary of State] Marco Rubio,” Poggio, a Brazilian political scientist, said in an email. “Brazil was the biggest prize in the conservative tide sweeping Latin America.”

The defeats for Trump are numerous and multifaceted — they span from the U.S. to Latin America and China and hit his power, and his wallet, Poggio argued.

Bolsonaro, 45, had aligned himself with Trump by pledging to mine the Amazon rainforest for critical mineral deposits, which would ease U.S. dependence on Chinese rare earth exports, limited in 2025 in response to Trump’s tariffs.

Brazil’s Lula wins presidential election, bucking regional shift towards right – National– globalnews.ca

EXCERPT:

Brazilian voters have denied Latin America’s resurgent right its ultimate prize, snapping a streak of seven straight conservative presidential victories in 18 months.

The stunning triumph of leftist incumbent President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva over Flavio Bolsonaro on Sunday, with 51.8 per cent of the vote to 48.2 per cent, limits U.S. President Donald Trump’s drive to tighten his grip on the Western Hemisphere and cements Latin America’s most populous country and largest economy as a counterweight to Washington. A Bolsonaro victory would have left Mexico’s Claudia Sheinbaum as the only progressive president among the region’s powerhouses.

For the Trump administration, which has wielded punishing tariffs, severe sanctions and military force to reassert its dominance in the region, Lula’s victory complicates its campaign to enlist Brazil in its military coalition against cartels and to gain preferential access to the country’s critical minerals, analysts say.

Yet both sides see reasons to cooperate. Washington wants access to Brazil’s vast trove of rare earths to reduce its defense industry’s reliance on China. Lula wants foreign investment and tariff relief for Brazilian exporters.

It has been reported that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani speaks several languages. One of those languages is Spanish. He is now using his language skills to appeal to the illegal population, so much so that he is instructing them on how to avoid ICE.

How is this not satire? Remember when politicians actually fought for the American people rather than putting this much effort into helping foreign nationals? Ahhh, the good old days.

In the video, you see the Mayor instructing foreign nationals how they can avoid accountability for breaking federal immigration laws. This should not be a thing. Rather than ensuring that national security is his priority, he could not care less about the damage this has caused and will cause to America.

Just in New York City alone, we can see the damage illegal immigration has caused Americans.

Nearly 1 million chickens killed at egg farm as nation’s largest bird flu outbreak grows– www.independent.co.uk
News Source
EXCERPT:

Nearly 1 million chickens were killed at an Illinois farm after a bird flu outbreak became the nation’s largest active outbreak this week.

The outbreak affected 934,600 birds at a commercial table egg layer facility in Clinton County, Illinois, the United States Department of Agriculture confirmed. It reportedly occurred at Rose Acre Farms, located outside Germantown, village officials told KSDK.

Rose Acre Farms is the second-largest egg producer in the U.S., according to the company’s website. With no treatment available for highly pathogenic avian influenza, better known as bird flu, authorities must kill infected and exposed birds to contain the virus.

Losing nearly a million hens could disrupt egg production and put further pressure on prices as supplies tighten.

The scale of the Illinois outbreak far exceeds other active cases nationwide. Minnesota had the next-highest number of birds affected, with 168,880 statewide, according to the USDA.

Anthropic’s IPO filing lays bare the cost of the AI race– techcentral.co.za

EXCERPT:

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei

Anthropic unveiled its US IPO filing on Monday, setting out its ambitions to build AI systems capable of transforming the global economy while confronting the costs and challenges of developing the technology.

The prospectus highlights Anthropic’s rapid growth over the past year, fuelled by Big Tech’s breakneck spending, which has driven a rally in AI stocks while raising concerns about lofty valuations and rising debt.

The listing is expected to establish Anthropic, the AI lab behind the viral Claude models, as a benchmark for how Wall Street values leading AI companies, including rival OpenAI.

Anthropic is pressing ahead with its IPO plans even as a once-busy listing calendar has thinned out, with market volatility prompting companies to delay offerings. The IPO would give Anthropic access to a deep pool of capital to fund its costly AI ambitions, which require heavy investment in computing infrastructure to develop and operate sophisticated models.

Global equities have sold off sharply as investors grow uneasy with the debt-fuelled AI investment boom and start to doubt whether the trillions being poured into data centres, chips and computing capacity will generate returns fast enough to support lofty valuations. Higher borrowing costs and rising bond yields have added to their caution.

 From rural Texas to communities nationwide, America’s artificial intelligence boom is colliding with growing backlash over the data centers needed to power it.

Brazil: Leftist Incumbent Lula Narrowly Defeats Bolsonaro in Presidential Runoff– legalinsurrection.com

EXCERPT:

In Brazil, incumbent leftist President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva barely defeated Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro, the son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, in the presidential runoff.

This is Lula’s fourth nonconsecutive term.

This is all weird to me. From Fox News:

Bolsonaro narrowly won the first round on Oct. 4, with 47% of the vote, to Lula’s 45%, but fell short of the 50% majority required to win the election outright.

The victory marks an unprecedented fourth presidential term for Lula, and a remarkable comeback victory. The result is even more surprising given that Bolsonaro had led, albeit by tight margins, in recent polling, and Brazil had recently elected a conservative congress aligned with the Bolsonaro agenda.

Earlier I saw The New York Times gush over Brazil’s secure election system.

Then we learned that Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Cristiano Zanin, who spent a decade as Lula’s defense lawyer, ordered polls to stay open two hours after closing due to “transportation delays and bad weather.”

Beyond the AI Race: China’s Bid to Shape Global Rules– www.orfonline.org
News Source
EXCERPT:

In September 2026, Chinese President Xi Jinping met United States (US) President Donald Trump in Washington, where discussions on global AI governance were central to their agenda, although the two leaders held opposing positions. Ahead of the summit, the two sides formalised a “USA-China AI Dialogues” track built around an incident hotline. Trump, however, made it clear that Washington rejects any attempt to construct a “globalist” scheme to govern the technology. Xi called on both countries to jointly guard against AI misuse and keep it under human control.

On 16 July 2026, 35 states signed the founding agreement for the World Artificial Intelligence Cooperation Organisation (WAICO), a China-headquartered body established outside the Western-led AI governance architecture, with no leading Western democracy among its signatories.

Beijing, therefore, while speaking of multilateral governance in Washington, is also building a separate institutional architecture through WAICO on its own terms and with its own membership criteria. Together, these developments suggest a strategy aimed less at restraining AI and more at deciding who writes the rules for its governance.
