New records prove disgraced Special Counsel Jack Smith not only obtained FINANCIAL RECORDS from EVERY DAY AMERICANS donating to Republicans — but Smith spied on communications between JOURNALISTS and GOP or Trump-aligned officials, per Fox

JACK SMITH HAS TO BE LOCKED UP!!

SEN. CHUCK GRASSLEY RAGES: "Every member of this committee ought to be OUTRAGED for what happened to their constituents!"

Apparently, some of the donations were as little as $5...THAT'S who Jack Smith was worried about

Per Grassley, the feds will "forever possess" thousands of people's bank information as part of this sham investigation

Jack Smith trampled justice. CRIMINAL REFERRAL!

President Trump just dropped this line after launching a Super Intelligence site to COMBINE every government agency and save Americans days and weeks of frustration

"The federal government no longer stands in your way and it stands only at your SERVICE — and that's what we're doing. We're simplifying it, we're glamorizing it, we're making it what it should be!"

Today, our partners at the Dutch National Police announced the arrest of one of the alleged leaders of ShinyHunters, a group linked to cyberattacks in the United States, the Netherlands, and around the world.

The Dutch High-Tech Crime Unit arrested the suspect under Dutch law. That's exactly how the "best athlete" model in the new FBI Cyber Strategy is meant to work: the partner with the strongest authority and access leads.

The @FBI is grateful to everyone who has assisted us in the ShinyHunters investigation, especially the Dutch National Police and the industry partners who shared information with us.

The Justice Department announced charges Tuesday against 17 alleged fraudsters accused of stealing more than $1.3 million in Social Security benefits, including a Chicago woman convicted of keeping her dead mother’s body in a freezer and now suspected of collecting her retirement benefits.

The charges are the result of a monthlong “surge” by the DOJ’s new National Fraud Enforcement Division targeting crimes against the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) benefit programs, which the Trump administration has long suspected are a hotbed for fraud.

“The Social Security Administration’s benefits programs are meant to safeguard America’s elderly and most vulnerable — not to bankroll fraudsters,” said Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald, the DOJ’s fraud division lead.

- Smith seemed off balance, taken a back, when Schmitt said he was bringing receipts, tells hearing he has memo/transcripts and texts

August 2024 – Schmitt asks Smith if he was advised NOT to file superseding indictment against President Trump by the DOJ Public Integrity Section

- Schmitt said Public Integrity warned it would be a violation of the 60 day rule which bars such actions that close to an election

- Reminds Smith he is under oath

Schmitt says he has text message from Smith's team that Jack Smith was in Atlanta FEB 2024 one day after DA Fani Willis admitted relationship with Nathan Wade

"Take a second to process, not to perjure yourself"

Sh2-188: The Shrimp Nebula

What causes the swirl in the Shrimp Nebula? Its high speed is likely. What is sure is that Sh2-188 is one of the larger planetary nebulas on the night sky, by angular size, spanning about half the diameter of the Moon. Moreover, the white-dwarf core leftover from the Sun-like star that shed its outer atmosphere is moving unusually fast through interstellar space, creating a bow shock most visible on the upper left that is similar to a boat plowing through water. Although faint, the Shrimp Nebula glows also by compressing and brightening gas on its leading edge. The featured image was taken in the light of hydrogen, sulfur, and oxygen by a backyard telescope in Krakow, Poland and then digitally adjusted to approximate the nebula's true colors.

Governor Abbott Waives Dyed-Diesel Restrictions

September 28, 2026 | Austin, Texas | Press Release

Governor Greg Abbott today issued a statewide disaster proclamation to allow expanded use of dyed diesel on Texas roads. The proclamation also raises the allowable weight for fuel, agricultural, and timber loads, and suspends Texas Low Emission Diesel (TxLED) rules to the extent the EPA authorizes. The Governor also requested that the EPA waive federal ultra-low sulfur diesel requirements.

“Texas agriculture and freight run on diesel,” said Governor Abbott. “Record prices put both industries at risk and raise costs for every Texas family. Farmers and truckers can now use dyed diesel on Texas roads, and fuel, crop, and timber loads can move at a higher weight. These steps cut costs on the farm, on the road, and at the store."

Dyed diesel is off-road fuel marked red, typically used in agricultural operations, and sold without a motor-fuels tax. Because it is untaxed, state law ordinarily bars its use on public roadways. The Governor’s proclamation suspends state restrictions and associated penalties so operators can use such fuel on Texas roads. It does not waive the underlying fuel tax.

The proclamation also suspends state oversize and overweight permitting requirements for vehicles loaded with fuel, agricultural, or timber products and allows those loads at a gross weight of up to 95,000 pounds.

Governor Abbott asked EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin for a temporary Clean Air Act waiver of federal ultra-low sulfur diesel rules and the TxLED rules that apply in 110 Texas counties. Those standards limit which diesel can be sold, and a waiver would allow more fuel to reach Texas pumps.

October stargazing: the best time to see Saturn, meteors from Halley's Comet

Sep 28, 2026 11:31 AM PDT | Updated Sep 28, 2026 11:31 AM PDT

Saturn reaches opposition in early October, offering its best viewing of the year, before the Orionid meteor shower brings shooting stars from debris left behind by Halley’s Comet.

Longer autumn nights will give skywatchers more time to look up in October. The month features a variety of astronomy events, including the best time of the year to view Saturn and one of autumn’s top meteor showers.

Saturn opposition: Oct. 4

Saturn will be one of the highlights of the night sky in early October as the planet reaches opposition, marking the best time of the year to see the ringed planet.

Opposition occurs when Saturn is directly opposite the sun from the perspective of Earth. Around this time, the planet rises in the east near nightfall, remains visible throughout the night and eventually sets in the west around daybreak.

No telescope is needed to spot Saturn, although using one can reveal the planet’s iconic rings. Although Saturn reaches opposition on Oct. 4, skywatchers do not need to circle one specific night on the calendar.

The planet will remain an excellent target throughout the month, giving people the flexibility to choose an evening with favorable weather.

Orionid meteor shower: Oct. 21-22

Shooting stars will streak across the late-October sky when the Orionid meteor shower peaks on the night of Oct. 21 into the early morning of Oct. 22.

Under ideal conditions, up to 20 meteors per hour may be visible, making the Orionids one of the better meteor showers of autumn. The best viewing generally comes after midnight.

The shower gets its name because the meteors appear to originate from the same area of the sky as the constellation Orion. However, shooting stars can streak across many different parts of the sky, not just near Orion.

The Orionid meteor shower can be traced to debris from Halley’s Comet. Each year, Earth passes through debris left behind during previous passes of the famous comet, with tiny particles burning brightly as they enter the atmosphere.

Oct. 25-26: Hunter’s Moon

October will end with a full moon shining brightly on the night of Oct. 25 into Oct. 26.

The October full moon is commonly known as the Hunter’s Moon, a seasonal nickname traditionally tied to the time of year when hunting became easier after fields had been cleared during the harvest.

Other nicknames for October’s full moon include the Falling Leaves Moon, Freezing Moon and Migrating Moon.

NASA, Boeing Share Update on Commercial Starliner Development Plans

Sep 28, 2026

On Monday, NASA and Boeing provided an update on the company’s Starliner spacecraft, including adding additional crew missions and certifying a new rocket for crew transportation to low Earth orbit.

“We are living through the most exciting era of space exploration since Apollo,” said NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman.

“As this domain continues to open, there will be growing demand for launch vehicles, transfer stages, landers, and, of course, spacecraft that carry astronauts.

NASA has been committed to having multiple crew transportation options since the beginning of the Commercial Crew Program.

We have worked closely with Boeing to address the issues identified on previous Starliner flights, and we intend to see this vehicle return to flight in support of the International Space Station and future commercial destinations.”

The agency intends to exercise options for a fifth and sixth flight to and from the space station using Starliner, and will work with Boeing and United Launch Alliance to certify the Vulcan rocket for use after the Atlas V rocket’s final flight.

“We are starting with an uncrewed Starliner-1 mission to the International Space Station to validate the improvements made to the spacecraft and gather the flight data we need,” said Isaacman.

“From there, we will use what we learn, continue implementing the corrective actions identified by our Program Investigation Team, and complete the testing and certification required for crewed flight. Our current plan is to return astronauts on Starliner-2 by 2028.”

NASA’s commercial crew efforts aim to preserve a U.S. crew transportation capability for ensuring continued access to space.

The work is challenging, however, it is essential for responsibly concluding space station operations, transitioning to commercial space stations, and expanding commercial access.

In February, NASA released findings from the agency’s Program Investigation Team outlining the programmatic and technical issues resulting in an uncrewed return of the Starliner during its first crewed flight in 2024.

In total, the investigation identified 61 recommendations to NASA to ensure that future missions meet the high standards required for human spaceflight.

The report specifically identified issues with Starliner’s service module reaction control thrusters operating outside of their engineering qualification, which resulted in the loss of control experienced during its Crew Flight Test.

Through significant ground testing and analysis, NASA and Boeing learned the service module thruster performance issues resulted from a combination of factors, including the thermal environment and features inherent in its design.

Based on the findings, Boeing has made thermal modifications to the spacecraft’s service module which NASA will evaluate for improved performance on Starliner-1.

NASA and Boeing also have jointly decided to implement an additional thruster valve design modification in support of spacecraft certification and future crewed flights.

The uncrewed Starliner-1 has the potential to fly in December of this year or January 2027.

It will serve as an engineering evaluation mission to verify improved thermal environments, obtain necessary performance data for system qualification, and identify residual risk ahead of crewed missions.

“Starliner’s next flight is a critical step on the path to achieving full system certification and ensuring a sustained human presence in low Earth orbit,” said Dana Weigel, manager of NASA’s Low Earth Orbit Program.

“With the safety of our space station crew and the public as our highest priority, we will test Starliner’s propulsion system through targeted demonstration objectives and disciplined operational controls.

These steps are essential to validating Starliner’s thermal performance which is a key element for the certification.”

Following the flight, NASA and Boeing will complete the service module thruster valve design modification, which is focused on addressing poppet seal extrusion and its adverse effects on thruster performance.

Boeing also will implement other improvements across the spacecraft including installation of new crew module thrusters, batteries, and minor modifications to the parachute system for increased performance and reliability in support of system certification.

Advanced Health Research Begins Week as Station Awaits Crew-13 Mission

September 28, 2026 1:54PM

Expedition 75 began the week scanning veins, checking out space workout gear, and testing specialized suits to ease the adjustment to Earth’s gravity. Back on Earth, NASA’s SpaceX Crew-13 members are counting down to a launch on Oct. 1.

NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Anil Menon, station commander and flight engineer respectively, started their shift together with vein scans in the Columbus laboratory module.

Meir operated the Ultrasound 3 device and scanned Menon’s jugular vein then measured his blood pressure for the Venous Flow investigation. Doctors will analyze the biomedical data to detect potential space-caused blood conditions such as blood clots or changes to blood chemistry.

NASA flight engineer Jack Hathaway assisted Menon at the beginning of the vein study collecting a blood sample and placing it inside a centrifuge for spinning.

At the conclusion of the sample processing, Menon analyzed the sample for a red blood cell count to help doctors determine if the cardiovascular system, influenced by microgravity, delivers adequate oxygen throughout a crew member’s body.

Afterward, Hathaway collected station water samples for microbial analysis then cleaned his crew quarters in the port side of the Harmony module.

Meir later joined the three crewmates she will return to Earth with next week and tested specialized suits that may help the foursome quickly adjust to gravity after nearly eight months in space.

The suit may help maintain adequate cerebral blood pressure once on the ground and prevent dizziness or light-headedness at the end of a mission. Meir and Hathaway along with flight engineers Sophie Adenot of ESA (European Space Agency) and Andrey Fedyaev of Roscosmos are preparing to ride the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft back to Earth a few days after the SpaceX Crew-13 mission launches and docks to the orbital outpost on Thursday. Oct. 1.

Flight engineer Sophie Adenot of ESA (European Space Agency) spent most of her shift working on exercise research hardware.

Adenot’s first job was inside the Tranquility module where she tested the functionality of ARED (advanced resistive exercise device) Kinematics computer hardware.

The human research study allows researchers to track an astronaut’s body load during a space workout to optimize crew health in microgravity.

Next, she guided Menon on how to work out on the European Enhanced Exploration Exercise Device (E4D) located in Columbus. The E4D is being evaluated for its ability to keep crews fit inside spacecraft on long-term missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond.

Fedyaev conducted a second session with an experimental suit, this one designed by Roscosmos, that may ease his adjustment to Earth’s gravity.

Roscosmos flight engineer Anna Kikina assisted Fedyaev as he wore the lower body negative pressure suit that reverses space-caused fluid shifts from the head toward the feet.

Kikina also pointed a camera out a window on the Zvezda service module and photographed landmarks in southern Russia from the Volga River to the Ukok Plateau.

Roscosmos flight engineer Pyotr Dubrov explored high-purity semiconductor crystals using a high-temperature furnace in the Nauka science module. The physics research may advance space and terrestrial manufacturing techniques.

NASA Highlights Lessons Learned From Swift Boost Mission

Sep 28, 2026

A commercial mission to boost NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory concluded without raising the spacecraft’s orbit, but the agency and industry vendor Katalyst Space have gained valuable experience that will benefit future in-space servicing programs.

“From the beginning, this was a high-risk, high-reward mission,” said Shawn Domagal-Goldman, Astrophysics Division director at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “Without intervention, Swift was going to re-enter the atmosphere by year’s end.

And while we’ll be sad to see Swift’s mission come to a close, we knew this boost effort would be valuable to the agency on multiple levels — advancing U.S. spacecraft servicing technology, challenging us to meet unprecedented mission timelines, and testing how we operate satellites to extend their time in low Earth orbit.

We’re very proud of how quickly this team got so far, and we’re capturing lessons learned to ensure we’re ready to go even farther.”

Swift, which launched in November 2004, was designed to study gamma-ray bursts, the most powerful explosions in the cosmos.

Over the last two decades, the observatory has revolutionized our understanding of how the universe works, from studying comets and asteroids in our own solar system and various types of cosmic explosions to flares from black holes in distant galaxies.

All spacecraft in low Earth orbit experience drag from our planet’s atmosphere. If they don’t have propulsion systems, this drag gradually reduces their altitudes. A period of increased solar activity magnified this effect on Swift.

After deciding to investigate the potential for a boost attempt, NASA had only a few months to issue a call for proposals through its Center of Excellence for Collaborative Innovation and fund design concept studies through the agency’s Small Business Innovation Research program.

In September 2025, NASA contracted Katalyst, based in Flagstaff, Arizona, to attempt the mission. The company had around one year to design, build, test, and launch a satellite that would then meet, grab, and lift Swift.

The LINK spacecraft took off from Kwajalein Atoll in the Republic of the Marshall Islands in July aboard a Northrop Grumman Pegasus XL rocket.

Katalyst selected the Pegasus as the best launch option for reaching the observatory on the mission’s condensed timeline, based on the mission’s orbital and programmatic needs.

After successfully reaching space and performing initial spacecraft checkouts, LINK began experiencing intermittent communications losses and developed issues with its orientation control.

Following a period of around-the-clock troubleshooting from both teams, NASA and Katalyst agreed to scale back the mission.

LINK would no longer attempt to grab or boost Swift but instead attempt to perform a series of technology demonstrations that would advance the capabilities of the U.S. commercial servicing industry.

These included exercising the spacecraft’s xenon-powered propulsion system and three robotic arms, which were designed to provide flexibility regarding where LINK could safely grapple Swift.

NASA formally concluded the agency’s involvement in LINK’s mission on Sept. 3. The spacecraft re-entered the atmosphere on Sept. 25.

Visa Restrictions for Foreign Nationals Undermining Democratically-Elected Governments in Western Hemisphere Countries

Press Statement

Thomas "Tommy" Pigott, Spokesman

Office of the Spokesman

September 28, 2026

Under the Trump Administration, corrupt foreign officials can no longer freely enter the United States. Today the Department of State is taking actions to fulfill the commitments to defend democratic governance across our hemisphere against corruption and narco-trafficking made at the Doral Summit and reaffirmed in the Shield of the Americas leaders’ statement of September 22.

Consistent with that statement committing to coordination of sanctions, designations, and financial actions against terrorists and criminals who undermine security, rule of law, and democracy, the Department is announcing a new visa restriction policy under Section 212(a)(3)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. This policy restricts visas for foreign nationals – and their immediate family members – who undermine a democratically-elected government through corruption or narcotrafficking activities in our region. Undermining a democratically-elected government is a threat to security and rule of law in the Americas and will not be tolerated. This is a durable mechanism that allows the United States to act quickly, in coordination with our partners, as evidence develops. The Department of State is taking steps immediately to impose visa restrictions under this policy in support of fellow Shield of the Americas participants Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.

Russia's Drones Zero In On Ukraine's Data Centers, Mobile Providers

The Russian defense ministry on Tuesday indicated that it attacked and struck two military cargo vessels in the Black Sea as well as two data centers in the Ukrainian capital overnight.

The vessels, which were sailing foreign flags, were struck off Odessa, President Zelensky also confirmed in a Tuesday statement.

The Kyiv region along with ten other areas came under attack overnight, Zelensky acknowledged. But it is the capital which has been getting pounded, also following many weeks and months of Ukraine's long-range drone strikes on Russian territory.

On Monday at least two people were killed when a drone hit National Academy of Sciences in the central part of the capital. The academy in a statement blasted the attack as "Russian terror" and "barbarity" aimed at "peaceful people who were simply at their workplaces."

A couple of new 'themes' have emerged in what have long been a nightly reality of devastating air raids. First, high flying jet-powered drones have been increasingly deployed by Russia.

The new Geran-5 is said to have anti-jamming capabilities and can travel up to an estimated 370mph, reports say. All of this makes them extremely hard to intercept.

Another theme is the war on data centers and mobile infrastructure. One regional source cited the Russian Defense Ministry as calling the campaign a 'mandatory digital detox' with grim sarcasm.

The same source documents the following recent attacks on data centers in Ukraine:

Russian forces continue to strike Ukrainian data centers. On September 25, they attacked an office building in Kyiv that houses a Datagroup data center. The center was damaged, but the company said all its services continued to run from backup sites.

On September 26, a Cosmonova data center in another Kyiv office building was hit. It had to shut down, interrupting broadcasts by several television channels. The strikes on data centers also left some Kyiv residents without internet access.

On September 28, a Russian drone struck an office building in Dnipro. The regional administration reported damage and casualties but did not say which companies occupied the building...

On September 26, Russia’s Defense Ministry said it was striking data centers because they “process and transmit intelligence data for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.” The next day, the ministry posted an image of a drone on social media with the caption “Digital detox” and the comment “Mandatory!”

At the start of this week Russia hit the headquarters of Kyivstar, Ukraine's largest mobile service provider, according to a statement by the company.

Reports of at least seven total killed and over 50 injured in the capital on Monday amid the major attack:

Transgender NYT executive charged with child-abuse before being killed

Jonathan McKinsey was embroiled in a bitter custody battle when he was allegedly shot dead by his in-laws, court documents show

A transgender New York Times executive allegedly killed by his in-laws over the weekend in California was facing child-abuse charges amid a bitter family battle, newly reported court documents have revealed.

Jonathan McKinsey, 40, director of engineering for NYT Games, was gunned down on Saturday at a sports complex east of San Francisco. Police arrested his parents-in-law, Shouyong Zhang and Shili Chen, both in their late 70s, near the scene on suspicion of murder.

The pair are being held without bail and are due to appear in court on Wednesday. Police said McKinsey was deliberately targeted but have not linked the killing to the family dispute.

The incident came a week before a scheduled hearing in McKinsey’s contentious divorce and custody fight with his estranged wife, Candice Jang, according to court records cited by AP.

McKinsey transitioned from female to male in 2010, according to the Mercury News, citing court filings. The documents indicate that McKinsey and Jang were already close during his transition-related medical treatment that year. The couple subsequently married and had three children.

There is no public information on how McKinsey and Jang had their children or which person gave birth. A couple consisting of a transgender man and a biological woman would need donor sperm to conceive. Depending on the circumstances, either could provide the egg and carry the pregnancy.

The court battle featured competing allegations of abuse. Jang accused McKinsey of years of violence against her and their children. McKinsey was charged with two misdemeanor child-abuse offenses for allegedly hitting his six-year-old son in the face and leaving another child, then aged two, home alone while he went shopping. He pleaded not guilty to both charges and was seeking admission to a mental-health diversion program.

Quantum computer boldly goes where no quantum computer has gone before: Space

September 28, 2026

There's big news from the quantum world. A quantum computer has been used in space for the first time.

The device was aboard a spacecraft in low Earth orbit and demonstrated technology that could eventually help solve a problem that has been bugging satellites for years.

The issue is that when orbiting satellites send their raw data back down to Earth, bottlenecks and bandwidth limits slow everything down. One way to overcome this would be to process the raw data in situ before sending it.

So a team of physicists led by Philip Walther at the University of Vienna came up with a way that could eventually do just that.

Their solution was to build a quantum photonic processor that uses individual light particles, or photons, to perform complex operations using compact optical hardware.

But taking the idea from the drawing board to orbit was not without its challenges.

Quantum photonic systems are delicate, and radiation, large temperature changes and the vacuum of space could damage their components or disrupt their operation.

Of course, it first had to get there.

Liftoff for quantum computing!

The quantum photonic processor, which consisted of a photon-pair source, a six-mode integrated glass circuit chip, single-photon detectors and control electronics, was loaded aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket. It was launched into low Earth orbit on June 23, 2025.

Once it arrived in orbit, the real work began. To process information, the system shines a laser through a crystal to create pairs of photons.

It then sends those light particles through a tiny glass circuit, controlling how they travel and interfere using microscopic heaters.

Finally, sensitive detectors catch the light at the other end to measure where the photons emerge.

There was a hitch: Half the photon detectors were no longer working after launch, leaving the team with just three of the original six.

A quantum first in orbit

Despite that setback, the mission achieved its core goals. Over the first eight months in orbit, the system successfully generated, manipulated and detected pairs of photons, performing several different programmed operations.

The team also changed the chip settings and carefully tuned the photons to look for a phenomenon called two-photon interference. They successfully observed quantum interference between the light particles even in the harsh conditions of space.

But the results are only a first step.

There is still plenty of work to do before satellites can run quantum-assisted data processing tasks directly in orbit.

As the study authors explain in their paper, which is posted to the arXiv preprint server, "The next step is to close the loop between sensor and processor, encoding Earth-observation data directly into the unitary programmed on the circuit."

Reaching that goal will also require ensuring instruments can handle the extreme stresses they will face. "What remains is to keep it stable over the long acquisition times that an inference task demands, as the gradual degradation of the components reduces the coincidence rate."

‘Absolute Travesty’: Dangerous Levels of Atrazine Found in Waterways Millions Use for Drinking Water

Levels of the hormone-disrupting pesticide atrazine known to harm aquatic wildlife are estimated to contaminate more than 25% of all river and stream miles in the lower 48 states — nearly 860,000 miles, according to a new analysis by the Center for Biological Diversity.

Levels of the hormone-disrupting pesticide atrazine known to harm aquatic wildlife are estimated to contaminate more than 25% of all river and stream miles in the lower 48 states — nearly 860,000 miles, according to a new analysis by the Center for Biological Diversity.

“One quarter of our rivers and streams are being treated like a sewer by corporate agriculture,” said Nathan Donley, environmental health science director at the Center for Biological Diversity.

“Just one pesticide is single-handedly polluting vast expanses of our nation’s waterways at levels that endanger people and wildlife. It’s an absolute travesty.”

The analysis, which assessed U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) water contamination data, also found that dangerous levels of atrazine pollute waterways relied on by more than 20% of U.S. surface-water treatment facilities, reservoirs and water intakes that provide water for people to drink, bathe and prepare food.

The September report identified five hotspots with some of the highest levels of atrazine contamination in the country: Chesapeake Bay, Midwest Corn Belt, Florida’s Lake Okeechobee, lower Mississippi River and Texas Gulf Coast. Millions of people in these regions are served atrazine-contaminated water by their public water utility.

The areas where waterways are highly contaminated with atrazine also contain at least 675,000 wells currently supplying potable water to homes and businesses, including hotels, restaurants and office buildings.

More than 70 million pounds of atrazine are sprayed on crops each year and it is the most widely detected pesticide contaminant in U.S. rivers, streams and below-ground water supplies.

It is a known hormone-disrupting pesticide linked to birth defects, multiple cancers, and fertility problems like low sperm quality and irregular menstrual cycles.

Because of those well-documented health concerns, atrazine has been banned in more than 60 countries. Yet the EPA is in the process of reapproving its use in the U.S. for at least another 15 years.

“We need to follow the lead of over 60 countries around the world and ban atrazine once and for all,” said Donley. “Failing to do so will mean disease, death and dirty water in America for decades to come.”

In the Chesapeake Bay, more than 5.5 million acres of the bay’s watershed — encompassing over 15,000 river miles — are contaminated with atrazine at levels higher than those known to harm aquatic ecosystems. That area is home to 18 million people and more than 3,600 species of plants and animals.

In the Midwest Corn Belt, encompassing Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, more than two-thirds of the total river miles are contaminated with dangerous levels of atrazine. This includes over half of the region’s wells and 68% of the region’s drinking-water treatment facilities that source from surface water.

Florida’s 730-square-mile Lake Okeechobee is surrounded by 500,000 acres of nearby sugarcane fields, which are heavily sprayed with atrazine. The lake is visited by thousands of people each year for boating and fishing.

Atrazine-contaminated watersheds run nearly the entire length of the lower Mississippi River, many at concentrations more than five times the level the EPA has found harmful to aquatic ecosystems.

This poses a threat not only to wildlife but to the 20 million people who rely on the river for their drinking water. Water from more than 40% of the continental U.S. flows down the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico.

The Texas Gulf Coast from Corpus Christi to Galveston is a vital region for migrating birds, aquatic wildlife and recreational activities like swimming, boating and fishing.

More than 6 million acres in this region, covering more than 6,000 river miles, are contaminated with atrazine levels that can harm aquatic wildlife.

Texas is the state with the most public water utilities reporting atrazine contamination, with nearly 15 million people in the state drinking atrazine-contaminated water.

Galaxies in a cosmic house of mirrors

29/09/2026

This NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope Picture of the Month features galaxies in great detail that have been warped and multiplied like they’ve stepped into a house of mirrors.

The brilliant golden galaxies splashed across this image belong to a galaxy cluster called MACS J0454.1-0300. The orange galaxies concentrated on one side of the cluster are not actually part of the cluster and are much farther away from us.

MACS J0454.1-0300 is itself immensely distant: the light from these galaxies has been travelling to us for so long that we’re seeing the cluster as it was when the Universe was about 8 billion years old.

While this galaxy cluster is a valuable scientific target in its own right, the real stars of this image are the galaxies that appear warped and stretched, like a painting that has been smeared by a giant hand.

The way these galaxies look is the result of gravitational lensing, in which the enormous mass of a foreground object such as a galaxy cluster bends and magnifies the light from a more distant object in the background.

Gravitational lensing allows astronomers to observe galaxies, star clusters and even individual stars that are too far away for our telescopes to see under normal conditions.

While the large, orange galaxies appear obviously distorted, look carefully at some of the small reddish background galaxies throughout this picture: even at the very edges of the frame, there are galaxies whose images have been bent into tiny arcs by MACS J0454.1-0300’s gravity.

The gravitationally lensed areas show multiple images of galaxies from when the Universe was young: a group of galaxies 2 billion years after the Big Bang, and a single galaxy just 800 million years old after the Big Bang.

The galaxy group appears to be going through a merger, resulting in an enormous burst of star formation.

Astronomers have also identified individual bright ‘knots’ within the gravitationally lensed areas, corresponding to regions as small as 5 light-years across. These tiny clumps appear magnified by a factor of more than 300, in some cases.

A NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image of this same cluster was released in 2014. Take a moment to compare the two images; the difference between them is dramatic. The new Webb image reveals hundreds of galaxies missing from the earlier image. These galaxies were there all along, but Webb is much more sensitive to their much redder light.

The data behind this image come from two observing programmes (#5058, PI: Furtak; #6882, PI: Fujimoto) that leverage the ability of massive galaxy clusters to bring distant objects into view.

FIRST ON FOX: A behind-the-scenes moment at a California fundraiser is drawing new attention to Abdul El-Sayed's longtime ties to the Soros family.

Jeffrey Soros, the nephew of billionaire George Soros, tells attendees he first met El-Sayed in 2012 while interviewing him for the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowship for New Americans, saying the fellowship helped launch his career and support his education.

The fundraiser comes after questions over El-Sayed's campaign message about getting "money out of politics" while attending a high-dollar event hosted by the Soros family.

Russian Tu-95 bomber crashes, killing six crew – MOD

29 Sep, 2026 13:55 | Updated 29 Sep, 2026 18:34

The aircraft was carrying no ammunition and came down in an uninhabited area of Russia’s Amur Region during a training flight

A Tu-95 strategic bomber has crashed during a training flight in the Amur Region in the Russian Far East, killing six crew members and injuring another, according to Moscow’s Defense Ministry.

The injured crew member was evacuated to a medical facility, the ministry said.

The aircraft was unarmed and crashed in an uninhabited area, the MOD added.

A Russian Aerospace Forces commission has been sent to the site to investigate the cause of the crash.

The Soviet-designed Tu-95, which first flew in 1952, remains the world’s fastest production turboprop aircraft.

The long-range strategic bomber has been used extensively by Russia to launch Kh-101 cruise missiles at targets in Ukraine during the conflict.

The bombers are part of the Russian nuclear triad and are capable of carrying missiles with thermonuclear warheads.

Ukraine Hits Russian Kasta Radar, Two Drone Command Posts and Three Ammo Depots

Sep 29, 2026 12:10

Ukrainian forces struck a Russian Kasta radar system, drone command posts, ammunition depots, and other military facilities in Russian-occupied territories on September 28 and overnight into September 29, Ukraine’s General Staff reported.

According to the General Staff, Ukrainian Defense Forces targeted a Russian 39N6 Kasta radar station in Manhush, Donetsk region.

The strikes also targeted Russian drone operations in the occupied Luhansk region, hitting UAV command posts in Kyrnosove and Novoaidar.

Ukrainian forces separately struck ammunition depots used by Russian units in Druzhne, Luhansk region; Novoiehorivka, Kharkiv region; and Kachkarske, Donetsk region.

In the occupied Zaporizhzhia region, Ukrainian forces also targeted a Russian logistics and materiel depot in Komysh-Zoria.

The latest strikes follow other Ukrainian operations against Russian military equipment.

On September 26, Ukraine’s 21st Separate Mechanized Brigade reported that its aerial reconnaissance units had located and destroyed a camouflaged Russian T-90 tank in the Northern Slobozhanshchyna sector.

Russian forces had attempted to conceal the vehicle, but Ukrainian reconnaissance drones detected it and identified it as a T-90. After confirming the target, the brigade deployed several drones to destroy the tank.

"There is currently no specific intelligence warning on the table,” one official told the Post. This comes after PM Netanyahu warned that Israel's enemies might try to attack before the elections.

Several Israeli officials told The Jerusalem Post following Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s remarks that there is currently no concrete threat to Israel, though they cautioned that the situation could change at any moment.

“We are on high alert and closely monitoring Iran’s actions. The escalation in the West Bank could also quickly turn into something much broader. But there is currently no specific intelligence warning on the table,” one official told the Post.

A second Israeli official said Tehran could decide at any moment to launch missiles at Israel amid the economic and military pressure being exerted by the United States. For now, however, the official stressed that this remains an “option” rather than an “immediate threat.”

Bennett: IDF will collapse without haredi enlistment, Netanyahu is dismantling military

Former PM warns IDF 'on verge of collapse' without haredi conscription • Netanyahu 'leading the most serious threat of all' in mass draft evasions, vote for PM is 'direct vote against troops'

Former prime minister Naftali Bennett warned on Tuesday that the IDF would collapse due to a lack of manpower if haredim (ultra-Orthodox) are not drafted into the military during the next government’s term following the October elections.

"[Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu warns of security threats, but he himself is leading the most serious threat of all: mass draft evasion and the collapse of the IDF," Bennett said.

He made the remarks at Hostages Square in Tel Aviv, where families of October 7 victims built a sukkah for the Sukkot holiday called the “Sukkah of Failure.”

Bennett's B'Yachad party is one of the leading parties in the opposition bloc seeking to replace Netanyahu in the October elections.

“I am here today at Hostages Square, which symbolizes the terrible failure of the October 7 government, which has yet to be investigated. Everyone who was part of this failure must immediately step down,” Bennett said.

Canadian drone firm developing mobile factories for Arctic military operations

September 29, 2026 at 11:01a.m. EDT

A Canadian defence technology company is developing a mobile drone factory that could allow military forces to manufacture, repair and deploy uncrewed vehicles in remote locations, including the Arctic.

Sentinel Advanced Military Solutions unveiled its modular StarForge system at this year’s CANSEC arms trade show in Ottawa, amid growing demand for surveillance and reconnaissance drone technology across the defence industry.

The company, which is a subsidiary of the Quebec-based CMP Advanced Mechanical Solutions, has been pitching its technology to senior Canadian defence officials but has yet to secure a contract from the Department of National Defence.

Nonetheless, Sentinel has benefited from a $10-million spinoff investment from Lockheed Martin as part of the Canadian Army’s acquisition of the HIMARS rocket artillery system through Ottawa’s Industrial and Technological Benefits program.

The company says its mission has been shaped in part by the evolution of warfare in Ukraine, where drone technology is developing rapidly as operators on both sides of the front line adapt to increasingly sophisticated countermeasures.

“Maintaining readiness to participate in that type of conflict is exceptionally difficult,” said Ed Zimmermann, Sentinel’s chief technology officer and vice-president of product development, in a recent interview.

“We’ve really made it our mission to ensure that Canadian and allied forces are able to be prepared and have that readiness at hand through the use of this type of capability.”

Shipping container factories

Traditional military supply chains can be long and inflexible, while procurement timelines for new equipment can stretch for years or even decades.

Sentinel aims to address those logistical challenges by deploying small-scale drone factories and command-and-control centres wherever and whenever they are needed.

“Imagine arriving at a remote Arctic outpost or a forward operating base where traditional supply chains no longer exist,” Sentinel chief executive John Soares said in a statement.

“Within hours, you have command and control, secure communications, autonomous surveillance, deployable power and the ability to manufacture mission critical components on site. That’s the future we’re building.”

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has ordered the Military Departments to immediately END granting tenure to civilian faculty at the U.S. Military Service Academies.

The change is intended to counter academic stagnation and complacency commonly linked to tenure, which the Pentagon says can weaken the academies’ core emphasis on warfighting and tactical dominance.

Lavrov destroys BBC’s ‘hybrid war’ play (VIDEO)

The Russian foreign minister ignored the British state broadcaster’s leading question, pointing instead to Western-supplied weapons being fired at Russia

Published 29 Sep, 2026 19:18

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov meets with the president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Moscow, Russia, July 1, 2026

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has treated an accusation from a BBC correspondent with the contempt expected of a veteran diplomat.

The British state broadcaster’s Steve Rosenberg asked Lavrov if he would admit “that Russia is waging a covert hybrid war against European countries?”

“Are you referring to when we destroy the drones and missiles that Britain and continental Europe supply to Ukraine, which are then fired at us?” the Russian foreign minister retorted. “Is that what you mean by hybrid war?”

Rosenberg then dropped his line of questioning and switched to criticizing Russia for its use of “brute force” in Ukraine.

“If you are referring to the destruction of infrastructure used by the [Ukrainian] Nazi regime – with Western support – to wage war against the Russian Federation, then we are resorting to hard power to neutralize this direct threat to us,” Lavrov replied.

Rosenberg’s question to Russia’s top diplomat followed several days of high-pitch war hysteria in the UK press, including a significantly over-reported ‘security incident’ near an RAF base.

European politicians regularly describe drone sightings, fires and accidents at weapons factories,and even natural disasters as examples of a Russian “hybrid war” against the West. The term “hybrid war” is typically used in reporting cases where no hard evidence exists, as was the case when a small quadcopter drone was discovered next to a Ukrainian transport plane at Leipzig Airport in Germany last month.

In the latest such incident, Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna blamed Russia on Tuesday for a fire at a drone factory in Tallinn last month. Although the Kremlin has denied any role in the blaze, the UK, France, Latvia, Lithuania, and Sweden all backed Tsahkna’s story and pledged on Tuesday to increase military aid to Kiev.

Amid an upsurge in supposed “hybrid war” incidents, Western military leaders have escalated their war rhetoric, with members of the UK’s Labour and Conservative parties both claiming last week that a military clash with Russia is inevitable, and Spanish media claiming that Italy, France, and Spain are all at risk of a Russian drone attack from the Mediterranean Sea. The latter claim, though widely echoed across the international press, was summarily debunked by senior French and Italian officials.

“We have no intention to fight with Europe…that is utter nonsense,” Lavrov told journalists at the UN General Assembly on Saturday. “But Europe is preparing for war with us, and each day they reaffirm the fact. This could become a self-fulfilling prophecy because they are investing vast amounts of money into weapons production.”

U.S. drones help capture alleged Colombian trafficker

Sept. 29, 2026 / 11:56 AM

Norbey Goez Sepúlveda, 48, also known as "El Paisa," "Ñato" and "Cachaco," is wanted for extradition by a federal court in Massachusetts.

Colombian security forces used U.S.-supplied drones equipped with infrared surveillance technology to track and capture an alleged Gulf Clan cocaine trafficker wanted for extradition by a federal court in Massachusetts, Colombian authorities said Tuesday.

Norbey Goez Sepúlveda, 48, also known as "El Paisa," "Ñato" and "Cachaco," was arrested in a rural area of Turbo, in Colombia's northwestern Antioquia department.

The operation involved Colombia's National Police, Attorney General's Office and Army, with support from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, according to Colombian authorities.

Goez is wanted by U.S. authorities on charges related to drug trafficking and criminal conspiracy and is subject to an extradition request from a federal court in Massachusetts, Colombian news outlet Caracol Radio reported.

Authorities said drones supplied by the U.S. government played a key role in locating Goez after investigators tracked him through rural areas of Antioquia.

The aircraft were equipped with electro-optical and infrared systems that allow operators to conduct surveillance during the day and at night and detect thermal signatures in low-visibility conditions, according to Caracol.

Investigators accuse Goez of working with the Roberto Vargas Gutiérrez structure of the Gulf Clan, one of Colombia's largest criminal organizations.

Authorities said he helped coordinate the collection and movement of cocaine from the departments of Córdoba and Antioquia's Urabá region before shipments were transported toward Central America and the United States.

Investigators said the organization used high-speed boats to move cocaine through Panama and Mexico before it reached the United States.

Authorities accuse Goez of helping coordinate shipments totaling more than one metric ton of cocaine per month through maritime, land and air routes.

Police said Goez had been involved in criminal activity for more than seven years but maintained a low profile to avoid detection, moving between rural communities and presenting himself as a businessman, farmworker or cattle rancher while limiting his presence on social media and other records.

The operation comes as President Abelardo De La Espriella's government expands security cooperation with Washington.

After meeting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Sept. 8, De La Espriella proposed what he calls "Plan Patriota Siglo XXI," a security modernization initiative that includes cooperation with the United States on drones, counter-drone systems, radar, aircraft, intelligence, cyber defense and special forces.

"Colombia wants to consolidate itself once again as the United States' main hemispheric security partner," De La Espriella said after the meeting, according to the Colombian presidency.

He said Colombia would provide its own resources but would also seek U.S. support to build those capabilities.

The government has also tightened restrictions on imports of drone components after authorities said criminal organizations were obtaining the technology for attacks against Colombian security forces.

Earlier this month, De La Espriella said customs authorities had seized drones intended for criminal groups and announced that imports of drone components would be restricted to designated entry points in Bogotá and Cartagena.

The government said the effort includes cooperation with U.S. Homeland Security Investigations.

Tuesday's arrest also came amid a broader security offensive.

De La Espriella said Colombian forces had arrested 30 people allegedly linked to armed and drug-trafficking organizations during the previous 24 hours, including seven suspected members of the Rodrigo Cadete structure in Caquetá, two alleged National Liberation Army members in Boyacá and 15 alleged members of a criminal network known as Los Fantasmas in Risaralda.

He also reported the seizure of 149 kilograms, or about 328 pounds, of marijuana and the destruction of a cache containing 36 improvised grenades and explosive material in Huila.

The figures were announced by the president and subsequently reported by Colombian media.

Following his arrest, Goez was transferred to the International Affairs Directorate of Colombia's Attorney General's Office while authorities proceed with the extradition process.

U.S. authorities must submit the required documentation through diplomatic channels before the extradition can proceed.

Strikes paralyze France as Macron’s popularity flatlines(VIDEOS)

The embattled French president is facing two overlapping protest movements and an approval rating of less than 20%

Published 29 Sep, 2026 18:13

A series of mass protests has gripped France ahead of the French government’s plans to slash some €56 billion from its social spending.

Firefighters, healthcare workers, transport staff and other civil servants took part in a nationwide strike on Tuesday, backed by all of the country’s major public-sector unions. More than 170 marches were planned across France, with demonstrators blocking roads and scuffling with police in Paris, and firefighters setting flares alight atop the iconic July Column at the Place de la Bastille – built to commemorate the overthrow of King Charles X in 1830. French students also clashed with police outside schools across the country.

The protesters’ demands are familiar: higher wages, better working conditions, and more funding for public services. However, while public sector employees have accused President Emmanuel Macron’s government of underfunding and dismantling their departments for years, they argue that their situation has recently been made unbearable by record fuel prices and wages that have failed to keep pace with inflation.

France has raised public sector pay by 5% since Macron took power in 2017, while cumulative inflation has risen 24% in the same time period.

The SNUipp-FSU teachers’ union has claimed that 40% of primary school teachers are on strike, while one in four firefighters have walked off the job, according to government estimates. France’s left-wing CGT union described the day’s strikes as a “black day,” intended to “truly express our anger.”

French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu is set to unveil €54 billion ($62 billion) worth of cutbacks in his 2027 budget on Thursday. Lecornu denies that he has drafted an “austerity” budget, but left-wing politician Jean-Luc Melenchon, a supporter of the strikes, has said that it would only heighten unrest, and has vowed to undo the budget and cancel government debt if elected president next year.

Macron, who has served two terms and cannot contest April’s election, is currently polling at less than 18% approval, according to an Ifop poll published earlier this month. Although the French president has seen worse approval numbers in other polls, 18% is an historic low in an Ifop survey.

Tuesday’s strikes are compounded by a growing student protest movement. High school students complaining about overcrowded and neglected classrooms have blockaded more than 300 schools in multiple cities, according to media reports.

The students – predominantly black and Middle-Eastern teenagers from deprived suburbs – set dumpsters on fire outside a school in Lille on Monday and clashed with police in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis. In some areas, the protests have degenerated into riots, with youths shooting fireworks and engaging in running battles with riot police.

Police arrested 164 students and rioters on Monday, and at least 40 on Tuesday, according to the latest figures from French media.

EU nation reacts to Israel stripping West Bank diplomat’s credentials

The Netherlands has summoned the Israeli ambassador over the move, which West Jerusalem is calling a response to Dutch sanctions

Published 29 Sep, 2026 16:48

The Netherlands on Monday said it had summoned Israeli Ambassador Zvi Aviner Vapni over a decision to revoke the diplomatic status of Dutch representatives at the mission in Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.

Dutch Foreign Minister Tom Berendsen condemned the Israeli decision as an “unnecessary” measure, warning it was bound to have “extremely serious consequences.”The move was announced by his Israeli counterpart Gideon Sa’ar on Sunday, with the top diplomat stripping the Dutch diplomats of their “Israeli-issued diplomatic documentation,” which must be returned within seven days.

The Israeli foreign minister cited the enactment of a Dutch import ban on Israeli goods originating from illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, as well as from the Golan Heights, as the pretext for the latest move.

“If the Netherlands wishes to continue representing its interests with the Palestinians, it may do so from Palestinian Authority territory, rather than from the territory of the State of Israel,” Sa’ar said in a statement, accusing The Hague of pursuing “anti-Israel policies.” Access to the West Bank is only possible via Israel or the border checkpoints it controls.

Given the ever-tightening grip of Israeli security forces and the fact that there have been no operational airports in the Palestinian territories for quite some time, the move makes the work of the Dutch mission to Ramallah impossible and effectively amounts to an expulsion of the diplomats.

Last month, when the import ban was adopted by the Dutch government, West Jerusalem expelled representatives of the Netherlands from Kiryat Gat’s International Support Center for Gaza. “Our message is clear:Those who act against Israel will have no foothold in the region. Israel will not allow measures to be taken against it without a response,” Sa’ar said at the time.

Ties between Israel and the Netherlands, as well as many other EU nations, have gradually worsened in recent years. Israel’s heavy-handed campaign in Gaza, prompted by the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack, as well as rapid state-sponsored expansion of illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank, have impacted relations. While individual members have introduced certain restrictions against Israel, the bloc has failed to provide a unified response to the situation in Palestine, with Brussels repeatedly facing criticism for applying “double standards” in its policies.

EU states push farm aid cuts to fund military buildup

Germany and five other countries have threatened to veto the bloc’s next budget unless Brussels cuts hundreds of billions in spending

Published 29 Sep, 2026 16:41 |

The EU’s next budget should be cut byhundreds of billions of euros and shift funding away from agricultural subsidies and towards military spending, Germany and five other member states have demanded, threatening to block a deal unless Brussels agrees to the reductions.

The ultimatum was set out in a letter, seen by the Financial Times, to Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin, whose country holds the rotating EU presidency and is overseeing the budget negotiations.

It was signed by the leaders of Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Austria and Finland, which argued the EU must spend more on defense and other new priorities while reducing the European Commission’s proposed €2 trillion budget for 2028–2034.

The budget “must be fundamentally reformed. We must make choices,” the leaders wrote, according to the Financial Times. A diplomat from one of the six countries told the newspaperthere would be no agreement this year unless spending was cut.

Agriculture and support for poorer regions have historically accounted for about two-thirds of the EU budget. However, the six countries are demanding that those resources be redirected toward defense, competitiveness and innovation, adding that every area of spending must contribute to the proposed cuts.

The EU’s seven-year budget requires unanimous approval from all 27 member states. However, 17 others, including Spain and Italy, have opposed the German-led group’s demands and have demanded that farm and regional funding be increased.

Berlin’s defense push comes as part of a wider military buildup across Europe,driven by unsubstantiated claims that Russia could attack NATO countries, which Moscow has repeatedly rejected.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has pledged to build the strongest conventional army in Europe, while his government has expanded the armed forces and is considering a return to conscription, despite tens of thousands of Germans vehemently opposing the idea.

The prospect of an imminent Russian attack has been challenged even within the six-country group. Finnish President Alexander Stubb said last week that Helsinki’s intelligence sees “no imminent military threat” from Moscow and he has urged European leaders to remain calm.

Moscow has repeatedly stressed that it has no reason or intention to attack Europe. Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated that claims to the contrary are “nonsense” that is meant to ramp up anti-Russian hysteria and justify inflated military budgets and continued spending on Ukraine.

Addressing the UN General Assembly last week, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov warned that the sheer scale of Europe’s military buildup could itself lead to a confrontation. He also accused the EU’s ruling elites of being infected with “the virus of racial superiority” and espousing extremist Russophobic ideas, while noting that Berlin’s attempts to achieve military primacy on the continent is an attempt to create a “Fourth Reich.”

US state recognizes Eid as official holiday

California is home to one of the country’s largest Muslim communities, estimated at up to one million people

Published 29 Sep, 2026 16:48

California has become the second US state to recognize the major Muslim festivals of Eid as official holidays, according to local authorities.

The state is home to one of the country’s largest Muslim communities, estimated at up to one million people.

California Governor Gavin Newsom signed the measure into law over the weekend, adding Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha to California’s list of state holidays.

Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting, while Eid al-Adha, or the Feast of Sacrifice, is observed during the annual pilgrimage to Mecca. Both holidays typically begin with communal prayers and are celebrated with gatherings of family and friends.

The measure was introduced by California lawmaker Matt Haney and backed by Muslim community groups. Haney said recognizing Eid would allow people to celebrate with their families without being forced to make “unnecessary sacrifices.”

Under the new law, workers do not automatically receive a paid day off, nor are government offices, courts, schools, or businesses required to close. State employees can use existing leave to observe Eid, while public schools and community colleges can close under agreements reached with employees.

The California chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim civil rights group that co-sponsored the measure, welcomed its signing, saying Muslims had for decades faced a “difficult choice” between observing their faith and meeting work or academic obligations.

Washington became the first US state to recognize both Eid holidays in 2025, although its law likewise did not make them mandatory paid days off. Eid has long been observed locally elsewhere in the country, with New York City public schools adding both festivals to their calendar in 2015.

The Muslim population in the US has more than doubled in less than two decades, rising from an estimated 2.4 million in 2007 to around 5.5 million this year, according to the Pew Research Center.

‘UFO or alien mothership?’ Mysterious streak in Starship Flight 14 livestream sparks wild theories

September 29, 2026

Starship flight successfully deployed 26 next-generation Starlink V3 satellites

SpaceX Starship Flight 14 achieved a milestone after successfully reaching orbit for the first time and deploying all 26 V3 Starlink satellites in a landmark launch.

But this is not the only highlight of the mission. A mysterious object was also spotted during SpaceX’s historic flight livestreaming which not only left the viewers scrambling for answers but also prompted wild UFO theories online.

Just over eight minutes into the stream, sharp-eyed viewers caught a mysterious, slightly curved light hovering in the background.

Screenshots instantly flooded X. "They just livestreamed what looks like a ‘UFO mothership’ trailing Starship over Texas," posted one user, as another chimed in, "I think we all just saw a UFO live-streamed."

Another one commented, “Hey SpaceX what is this city sized craft orbiting the horizon?”

“Remember what Elon Musk said about Aliens? He has said that with thousands of SpaceX satellites he would know if aliens were here, and that he would post the proof on X. The object sat on his own feed,” One user wrote.

Michael Salla, author of the Secret Space Programs Book series also commented, "The first Starship sent into Earth orbit was trailed by a large UFO that some claim is a mothership.

Given the importance of SpaceX rockets for the open-source expansion of space programs, the UFO may be part of the Solar Warden/United Earth Space Command welcoming its little brother to cislunar space."

“That object is moving real fast relative to Starship. Doesn't seem like debris from the vehicle like the ice particles, what could this possibly be I wonder,” Another wondered.

Experts and viewers note there is no verified evidence of extraterrestrial life or technology as the shape is likely a conventional phenomenon such as rocket exhaust expanding in the thin upper atmosphere, debris, or staging material.

One user wrote, "It's likely a hunk of ice that broke off the side of the ship or some propellant that leaked out the engines during the cutoff that froze in space.”

However, neither SpaceX nor NASA commented on this viral footage. But, NASA praised SpaceX for the launch on X: “Gorgeous launch, getting the ship to orbit and managing every step in a safe, responsible, and especially inspirational way.”

Candace Owens has just been hit with ANOTHER defamation lawsuit.

Robert L. Hild is suing her for claiming that he contributed to Charlie Kirk’s assassination, had ties to “malicious foreign actors”, and was connected to a “gothic communist underground.”

As it turns out, Hild is an LDS student at BYU who served a mission and has a clean background. Friends tried to tell Owens that; she kept pushing the same story. The “goth” pictures came from a Halloween party with a Goth-prom theme.

Kennedy to Jack Smith: 'You make me want to throw up in my mouth'

Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., on Tuesday had harsh words for special counsel Jack Smith as he questioned him on his prosecution of President Donald Trump in 2024.

Kennedy questioned Smith during his appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee, pressing him on his contacts with then-Attorney General Merrick Garland and his presentation of materials to a federal judge to secure subpoenas.
