The fragile truce in Gaza faced its first major test on Sunday after Israel alleged Hamas had violated the ceasefire and hit back with air and artillery strikes.

An Israeli security official told The Associated Press, on the condition of anonymity pending a formal announcement, that the transfer of aid into Gaza is halted “until further notice.”

Earlier Sunday, Israel’s military said it hit multiple targets in the Gaza Strip using aircraft and artillery, after it accused Hamas of shooting at Israeli soldiers. Military officials later said two soldiers were killed.

An Israeli military official told CBS News that Hamas had targeted its soldiers with a rocket-propelled grenade and sniper fire.

A special class of immune proteins protect us from pathogens but also drive inflammation and cell death

The immune system has a tough job: When a tiny virus invades one of our cells, that cell must detect it and, within minutes, decide what to do. If the cell quickly self-destructs, that will prevent the virus from spreading throughout the body. But such a response to a false alarm will mean the cell will die unnecessarily.

AI Is Changing What High School STEM Students Study– www.wired.com

In the early 2010s, nearly every STEM-savvy college-bound kid heard the same advice: Learn to code. Python was the new Latin. Computer science was the ticket to a stable, well-paid, future-proof life.

But in 2025, the glow has dimmed. “Learn to code” now sounds a little like “learn shorthand.” Teenagers still want jobs in tech, but they no longer see a single path to get there. AI seems poised to snatch up coding jobs, and there aren’t a plethora of AP classes in vibe coding. Their teachers are scrambling to keep up.

“There’s a move from taking as much computer science as you can to now trying to get in as many statistics courses” as possible, says Benjamin Rubenstein, an assistant principal at New York’s Manhattan Village Academy. Rubenstein has spent 20 years in New York City classrooms, long enough to watch the “STEM pipeline” morph into a network of branching paths instead of one straight line. For his students, studying stats feels more practical.

Virginia GOP gubernatorial nominee Winsome Earle-Sears swiftly condemned those tied to a Young Republicans group chat scandal—and now she’s calling on her opponent, Democrat Abigail Spanberger, to do the same with regard to her own running mate, attorney general nominee Jay Jones.

In a press release issued Wednesday, the Democratic Party of Virginia said Earle-Sears “must call on participants of a leaked Young Republicans chat that used racist language to step down from their roles joining Virginia Young Republican Thomas Turner”—something the lieutenant governor had no problem doing.

“Easy,” she replied, “they absolutely must step down.”

France Destroys Opposition Party Leader Before Election

pgnewser October 16, 2025 0

Shortly after being selected, the new PM had to survive a no-confidence vote, which he was able to do. Hope of replacing the current dominant political parties were dimmed when a court ruled that Marine Le Pen, the leading opposition figure, cannot stand for election at all. The decision is sure to further destabilize France as the global oligarchs desperately hold on to power.

Blurb:

France may be teetering on the verge of national snap elections, but the poll-topping sovereigntist leader Marine Le Pen is banned from even standing, a Paris court has confirmed, over a conviction her supporters say is a case of politically targeted lawfare.

The French Council of State, the body of top lawyers which provides legal advice to the government and supreme court, has rejected an appeal by National Rally leader Marine Le Pen to have her “ineligibility” order overturned, reports Le Figaro. The order that was imposed on the politician in March by a judge is considered unusual and controversial because unlike normal criminal punishments, it is being imposed immediately, despite the appeals process to have the conviction itself overturned not having been exhausted.

US Senate rejects bill to end government shutdown as it enters third week– www.euronews.com

The US Senate on Tuesday rejected a bill to reopen the government for the eighth time, meaning that lawmakers are still far from reaching a consensus, and the shutdown will continue into its third week.

In a 49-45 vote, senators approved the GOP’s continuing resolution, which would keep the government afloat until the end of November, well short of the 60 votes required to move forward.

The government shutdown revolves around a debate over health care policy—particularly the Affordable Care Act subsidies that are expiring for millions of Americans who rely on government aid to purchase their own health insurance.

  • 22 U.S. states provide in-state tuition for illegal immigrant students, with 18 of these states also offering additional financial aid, despite federal restrictions established by the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996.
  • The Trump administration has challenged these state policies via lawsuits, citing the need to enforce existing laws prohibiting residency-related benefits for illegal immigrants.
  • Critics of the legal challenges claim that denying in-state tuition undermines state economies and education systems, as it restricts access to affordable education for a significant number of students.

House GOP Leader Exposes Schumer’s Plan To Extend Shutdown For ‘Hate America Rally’– trendingpoliticsnews.com

In a fiery press conference Tuesday, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) accused Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) of intentionally extending the ongoing partial government shutdown in order to wait for a fresh round of “No Kings Day” protests on October 18, which Scalise referred to as a “hate America rally.”

Schumer has repeatedly accused Republicans of causing the ongoing shutdown, despite the fact that just three Democrats have voted in favor of a House-passed “clean” temporary measure that will fund the government through late November. The measure requires 60 votes to pass in the Senate, meaning that at least seven Democrats must vote in favor.

On Sept. 30, hours before the federal government shut down, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had a baffling act to fit in. The FDA stealthily approved a new generic version of the abortion drug mifepristone.

Mifepristone, a drug the FDA itself admits sends as many as 1 in 25 women to the emergency room even under strict use conditions, is not only responsible for the deaths of countless unborn children, but also has taken the lives of too many mothers along with it.

Ironically, the approval came barely a week after the administration warned pregnant women to reconsider taking Tylenol to avoid harm to their unborn children.
