“US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth vowed in an interview this week that the [killing] of the man who killed 13 people in a mass shooting at Fort Hood in 2009 would be ‘public.’ ‘We’ll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it’s public, because people need to understand that there’s serious consequences for these types of things,’ Hegseth told far-right podcaster Jack Posobiec in an interview aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln on Wednesday. A Pentagon official said Thursday that the [killing] ‘will be livestreamed,’ but did not offer more details. … Hasan was convicted in July 2013 of 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted murder. During his trial, he told the panel of 13 officers that he was targeting soldiers who would deploy to Afghanistan and ‘were going to engage in an illegal war.'” (10/08/26)

“Since March, Israeli attacks in Lebanon have displaced more than a million civilians and killed or wounded more than 17,000 people. Al Jazeera reported last month that ‘Israeli artillery shelling is still causing uncontrollable fires. Lebanese civil defense and firefighters are not being allowed by the Israelis to reach these areas and put out the flames. More than 60 towns in southern Lebanon are still occupied by the Israeli army, where the Israelis are carrying out a systematic campaign of demolitions.’ The war in Iran and the continued carnage in Gaza have squeezed out American media coverage of Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon and Beirut. But Israel is repeating the same strategy and the storyline that it has used to justify attacking Lebanon since the dawn of the Reagan era.” (10/08/26)

“An alleged gang rape at Cornell University has set the internet ablaze with debate. But whenever anyone asks what the victim did to find themselves in that situation, they’re chastised. Yet these are exactly the kinds of conversations we need to be having to protect other women from similar fates. Pointing out a woman’s missteps does not mean one believes she deserves what happened to her. It helps stop the same thing from happening again.” (10/08/26)

“The four astronauts of SpaceX’s Crew-12 mission returned to Earth this morning (Oct. 8) after nearly eight months in space. Crew-12’s Crew Dragon capsule, named ‘Freedom,’ undocked from the International Space Station (ISS) on Wednesday morning (Oct. 7) at 8:05 a.m. EDT (1205 GMT), beginning a roughly 27-hour trip back to its home planet. Everything went well during the journey: Freedom splashed down as planned in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Los Angeles today at 11:34 a.m. EDT (1534 GMT).” (10/08/26)

“Prices are the manifestations of countless decisions by buyers and sellers, each acting on individual knowledge no one else has. No buyer’s budget and needs, and no seller’s costs and offerings, are identical. Only a free market can account for this and decide whether a price sticks. Creating laws to cap prices doesn’t make scarcity go away. It just shows up as empty shelves instead of a market-determined price.” (10/08/26)

“Going to the federal government to convince the federal government to limit its own power? That’s not just bad strategy and a lost cause. It’s dangerous to the Constitution and liberty. James Madison gave us the answer – a blueprint for beating the feds without relying on the feds to magically do what they never do – limit their own power. All backed up by the ultimate safeguard for freedom: a highly armed and highly trained general population ready to protect their own constitution and their own liberty against all enemies, foreign or domestic.” (10/08/26)
