US calls out Russia and China for shielding DPRK in the UNSC — Reuters
The US on Monday slammed Russia and China at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) for "shamelessly protecting" and encouraging DPRK to accelerate their "nuclear force,” according to Reuters.
"Russia and China have shamelessly protected Pyongyang from any reprisal, or even condemnation of its actions," said deputy U S Ambassador to the UN, Robert Wood.
"Shielded from closer scrutiny of its sanctions-violating activities by Moscow and Beijing, Pyongyang, unsurprisingly, has been emboldened to continue advancing its unlawful ballistic missile, nuclear, and WMD programs," he said.

US soldier dies from injuries sustained during Gaza floating pier mission — Report
Sgt. Quandarius Davon Stanley, a 23-year-old US soldier, died on Thursday from injuries sustained while working on the temporary floating pier built to deliver aid to Gaza.
President Biden announced the pier with fanfare during his March State of the Union address.
Stanley was one of three service members injured on May 23 during an incident that the Pentagon deemed not combat-related - he had been undergoing long-term medical care.
The $230 million pier was meant to represent Washington’s commitment to ferrying aid to the people of Gaza - but due to rough weather and seas, it was only operational for 20 days.

FBI sting uncovers plot to destroy Nashville energy facility — US DoJ
A 24-year-old Tennessee man, Skyler Philippi, has been arrested and charged with plotting to use a weapon of mass destruction in an attack on a Nashville energy facility.
Philippi allegedly planned to use a drone armed with explosives, motivated by a desire to "shock the system," according to an FBI confidential source aware of the plot.
A federal investigation began in June after an undercover FBI employee reported Philippi's alleged interest in a mass shooting at a YMCA.
During a recon mission on the Nashville energy facility that was to be the target of the planned attack, undercover agents recorded Philippi saying, "Holy sh*t. This will go up like a f*ckin’ Fourth of July firework.”
*Photo shows Philippi with two undercover FBI agents and fake bombs, according to the federal complaint against him

Presidential Draw: What IF Trump v. Harris ends in a TIE?
If tomorrow's battle goes down to the last vote, the election could be too close to call. There is a remote possibility the US presidential election could end in a draw.
This is all based on the US Electoral College, there’s 538 votes up for grabs, 270 to one candidate and they win. Both candidates could receive 269, making them unable to receive a majority. The 12th Amendment states that in such cases, votes are taken by each state from the House, no matter how small the population, those votes will decide who's the next US president.
Let's hope it doesn't get to that...

I shouldn’t have left the White House – Trump
US Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said he regrets leaving the White House after losing to Joe Biden in 2020, and repeated his claim of “stolen elections.”
Speaking at a campaign rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania on Sunday, two days before election day, the former president said the US had turned into "a failed country” under the leadership of an “incompetent group of fools.”
He went on to accuse the Democratic candidate, Vice President Kamala Harris, of being unable to prevent the flow of illegal migrants across the border from Mexico. “We had the safest border in the history of our country, the day I left,” Trump said. “I shouldn’t have left. I mean, honestly, because we did so, we did so well.”
