“Five drones were spotted flying over Belgium’s Doel nuclear power plant near the Port of Antwerp on Sunday evening, energy company Engie said. ‘Initially we had detected three drones, but then we saw five drones. They were up in the air for about an hour,’ Engie spokesperson Hellen Smeets told POLITICO Monday morning. The first report of the three drones came shortly before 10 p.m. on Sunday, Smeet said, adding that the sightings had no impact on the plant operations. Belgium’s national Crisis Center, which is currently monitoring the situation, confirmed the incident. Earlier in the evening, air traffic at Liège Airport was briefly suspended after multiple drone reports, with flights halted around 7:30 p.m. and resuming less than an hour later.” (11/10/25)

“On October 29, the US Federal Reserve (Fed) lowered its benchmark interest rate (Federal Funds Rate) by 25 basis points, setting it between 3.75% and 4%. This decision follows a similar rate cut made in September. Notably, these decisions were made while inflation continued to rise, and remained much above the Fed’s long-term target of 2%. Given these factors, the Fed should not have cut federal funds rate, but raised them. Let’s explain.” (11/09/25)

“The Senate on Sunday made significant progress towards ending the longest US government shutdown in history, narrowly advancing a compromise bill to reauthorize funding and undo the layoffs of some employees. But the measure, which resulted from days of talks between a handful of Democratic and Republican senators, leaves out the healthcare subsidies that Democrats had demanded for weeks. Most Democratic senators rejected it, as did many of the party’s lawmakers in the House of Representatives, which will have to vote to approve it before the government can reopen.” (11/10/25)

“Every so often, a headline-grabbing case reminds us of the unique — and little understood — power wielded by American juries. Yet, the case of Sean Dunn, the former Department of Justice paralegal who became an overnight viral sensation for hurling a sandwich at a Customs and Border Patrol officer, provides a textbook example of jury nullification in modern times. … despite the evidence, despite the legal clarity, the jury chose not to convict.” (11/07/25)

“South Korea’s special prosecutor has indicted former President Yoon Suk Yeol on new charges related to his short-lived imposition of martial law last year, including aiding an enemy state. Prosecutors opened a special investigation earlier this year to examine whether Yoon ordered drone flights over North Korea to provoke Pyongyang and strengthen his effort to declare martial law. … Yoon was removed from office by the Constitutional Court in April and is on trial for insurrection and other charges stemming from his failed martial law declaration. If found guilty, he could be sentenced to death.” (11/10/25)

“Here’s what the plaintiffs in [Trump v. Orr] say they’re after: ‘[T]he same thing millions of Americans take for granted: passports that allow them to travel without fear of misidentification, harassment, or violence.’ While the following should be obvious, it has to be said because most people don’t seem to have noticed: Passports don’t ALLOW people to travel, they RESTRICT the ability of people to travel. They’re a relatively recent tool of government control. They’re also wholly unconstitutional. There’s a term for the government holding you in a place you’d rather not be and forbidding you to leave without permission. That word is ‘imprisonment.'” (11/08/25)

“The Soviet Union did not have the highest death toll of any communist regime. That dubious distinction belongs to the People’s Republic of China. North Korea has probably surpassed the USSR in the sheer extent of totalitarian control over everyday life. Pol Pot’s Cambodia may have surpassed it in terms of the degree of sadistic cruelty and torture practiced by the regime, though this is admittedly very difficult to measure. But all of these tyrannies — and more — were at least to a large extent variations on the Soviet original. … The Black Book of Communism estimates the total number of victims of communist regimes at 80 to 100 million dead, greater than that caused by all other twentieth century tyrannies combined. We appropriately have a Holocaust Memorial Day. It is equally appropriate to commemorate the victims of the twentieth century’s other great totalitarian tyranny.” (11/07/25)
