• U.S. envoys emerge from Ukraine War talks with Putin and announce Europe will join the next round of negotiations. But Russia digs in against any European role and rejects peacekeepers, setting up potential deadlock.
Today we also discuss:
• Gadi Eisenkot races to form Israel’s next government and rebuild the shattered U.S. alliance. Trump slashes military aid, blames Israel for Republican midterm losses, and public support collapses over Gaza and the Iran war.
• Missiles and mines slam oil tankers across the Strait of Hormuz, unleashing vast oil slicks visible from space. The pollution coats beaches, poisons mangroves and coral, and threatens dolphins, turtles, and fish with generational damage. Yet Trump declares “no deal necessary” with Iran and sidelines JD Vance. What next?
• Former Chihuahua prosecutor Guillermo Zuany flees to the United States under U.S. government protection after secretly guiding CIA officers on counter-cartel missions. Mexico issues an arrest warrant, and President Sheinbaum blasts the operation as a sovereignty breach.
• A new Politico poll shows Democrats feeling more unified after their midterm sweep, with near-universal demand to slash living costs. But cracks already appear over 2028 candidates and whether to pursue systemic reform or incremental economic fixes. Maryland Senator Chris Van Hollen launches a challenge against Chuck Schumer for Senate Majority Leader. He rallies progressives demanding fresh leadership to cut living costs and end the Iran war.
