Two 6.3 magnitude earthquakes struck Afghanistan on Saturday, resulting in the deaths of hundreds, according to a spokesperson for the country’s national disaster authority. The United States Geological Survey reported the 6.3 magnitude, with an epicenter located 40 kilometers (24.8 miles) northwest of Herat city. An aftershock measuring 5.5 magnitude was also recorded.
Residents of Herat reported at least five quakes around noon, local time, prompting them to evacuate their homes and seek safety. The World Health Organization dispatched ambulances. Videos shared on social media revealed hundreds of people gathered outside their homes and offices in Herat. Telephone connections have been disrupted, hampering communication. Local media reports the quakes were also felt in neighboring Afghan provinces of Farah and Badghis, as well as in parts of Iran.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk, U.S. War Secretary Pete Hegseth, and President Trump.
📍WHEN & WHERE: Strikes started early September in the Caribbean and later expanded to the eastern Pacific.
💬KEY QUOTE: “The U.S. must halt such attacks and take all measures necessary to prevent the extrajudicial killing of people aboard these boats.” – UN spokesman Ravina Shamdasani
🎯IMPACT: Fourteen strikes have resulted in at least 61 deaths, but globalists are pushing back against the campaign.
IN FULL
The globalist United Nations (UN) High Commissioner for Human Rights, Volker Türk, has condemned the United States for carrying out military airstrikes on boats linked to drug trafficking in the Caribbean and Pacific, calling the actions “unacceptable” and “illegal” and demanding that they stop immediately.
At a UN briefing in Geneva, spokesman Ravina Shamdasani relayed the concerns of the Commissioner, an Austrian human rights lawyer, claiming that the strikes violate international human rights law. “The U.S. must halt such attacks and take all measures necessary to prevent the extrajudicial killing of people aboard these boats,” she said. Shamdasani insisted that lethal force should only be used as a last resort against individuals posing an imminent threat to life.
The latest strike, announced by War Secretary Pete Hegseth, took place in the eastern Pacific Ocean near Colombia. U.S. officials have explained that the strikes are part of a broader campaign to dismantle transnational drug networks and “narco-terrorist” groups operating in the region.
President Donald J. Trump, who has publicly championed the campaign, has defended the military’s actions as a “necessary measure” to stem the flow of illegal drugs into the United States. Reports indicate that several of the targeted vessels were linked to powerful criminal organizations, including Venezuela’s Tren de Aragua and Colombia’s communist National Liberation Army.
“The fight against drug trafficking is not a war,” Shamdasani insisted. “It is a law-enforcement matter governed by strict limits on the use of lethal force.” President Trump has taken a far more robust stance, designating cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, effectively at war with the U.S. In recent remarks to a reporter who asked why he does not ask Congress for a formal declaration of war, the America First leader said, “I’m not going to necessarily ask for a declaration of war, I think we’re just going to kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. OK? We’re going to kill them, you know, they’re going to be, like, dead.”
❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump called for the Senate to end the filibuster to resolve the government shutdown, but Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) says his stance against doing so remains unchanged.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Trump, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, and Thune’s spokesman Ryan Wrasse.
📍WHEN & WHERE: The statement from Thune’s spokesman was made on Friday following Trump’s post on Truth Social late Thursday night.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Leader Thune’s position on the importance of the legislative filibuster is unchanged.” – Ryan Wrasse
🎯IMPACT: The government shutdown continues with the Senate adjourned for the weekend, while the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) faces potential funding issues.
IN FULL
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has indicated Republicans will not invoke the so-called “nuclear option” and enact a rule change to scrap the legislative filibuster, despite urging from President Donald J. Trump to do so. Thune spokesman, Ryan Wrasse, confirmed on Friday that the Senate Republican leader’s stance is “unchanged” and emphasized the filibuster’s role as a safeguard against undesirable legislation. “Leader Thune’s position on the importance of the legislative filibuster is unchanged,” Wrasse said.
Late Thursday, in a post on Truth Social, President Trump called on Senate Republicans to eliminate the 60-vote threshold required to advance most legislation to break the ongoing Democrat-caused government shutdown. The rule change would allow Republicans to pass funding measures without needing Democratic support.
The Senate has adjourned for the weekend, although discussions among members are expected to continue in an effort to end the shutdown. The situation is compounded by the looming expiration of funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which could impact 42 million Americans.
Thune has previously articulated that the filibuster serves as a critical barrier to prevent “a lot of really bad things” from happening. The National Pulse has previously reported that Sens. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) and John Fetterman (D-PA) have backed a push to end the filibuster. However, some longtime Capitol Hill observers warn that Republicans moving to end the filibuster may actually be the outcome Democrats desire most.
❓WHAT HAPPENED: Newly released Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) files revealed that former Special Counsel Jack Smith issued nearly 200 subpoenas targeting Republican organizations, officials, and donors as part of a Justice Department investigation under the Biden government.
👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Former Special Counsel Jack Smith, Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), U.S. District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg, and Republican organizations, including Turning Point USA (TPUSA) and the Republican Attorneys General Association.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The subpoenas were issued during Smith’s “Arctic Frost” probe; FBI files were made public on Wednesday through Sen. Grassley’s office.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Politically motivated conduct,” said Jim Jordan in his letter demanding Smith testify before Congress.
🎯IMPACT: Congressional Republicans have called for investigations and the impeachment of Judge Boasberg, citing concerns of abuse of investigative power under the Biden Justice Department.
IN FULL
Republican lawmakers in the House of Representatives are now working to pursue the impeachment of U.S. District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg, who—along with his colleague U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell—issued non-disclosure orders preventing public knowledge of nearly 200 subpoenas targeting Republican organizations, officials, and donors filed by former Special Counsel Jack Smith. Late Thursday evening, Representative Brandon Gill (R-TX) announced he is drafting articles of impeachment against Boasberg. Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), likewise, signalled he would pursue impeachment. It is unclear whether Judge Howell will also face impeachment.
The National Pulse reported on Wednesday that Jack Smith issued 197 subpoenas targeting over 430 Republican groups and individuals as part of the Arctic Frost probe. Senator. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) described the investigation as a “fishing expedition” aimed at improperly scrutinizing the Republican political apparatus. Among the subpoenas were requests for telecom carriers to provide Smith’s team with cellular data for around a dozen Republican lawmakers, with Boasberg and Howell’s orders preventing the companies from disclosing the requests.
“Radical activist judge James Boasberg continues to weaponize his judicial authority and target his political opponents,” Rep. Gill said in a statement. “Judge Boasberg facilitated the egregious Arctic Frost scandal, where he equipped the Biden DOJ to spy on Republican senators. His lack of integrity makes him clearly unfit for the gavel.” Boasberg, appointed by former President Barack Obama and now serving as chief judge in Washington, D.C., has faced prior criticism for rulings that impacted Trump administration policies.
Troublingly, under the guise of investigating the alleged involvement of President Trump and several Republican lawmakers in January 6, Jack Smith—enabled by judges Boasberg and Howell—appears to have, in reality, laid the groundwork for an unprecedented, weaponized, and partisan criminal probe aimed at crippling the Republican Party. Financial institutions and political vendors for Trump-aligned PACs were targeted with subpoenas, suggesting that Smith sought to establish monetary links between hundreds of consulting firms, advisors, and nonprofits that he could subsequently prosecute—presumably under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act—if he had secured a conviction against Trump.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Naomi Seibt, U.S. Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), Antifa, and German intelligence agencies.
📍WHEN & WHERE: Seibt announced her asylum claim on her X account on October 30.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Today, I am officially the first German asylum seeker in the U.S. under President Trump.” – Naomi Seibt
🎯IMPACT: Seibt’s case highlights concerns over political persecution in Germany and raises questions about freedom of speech and government overreach.
IN FULL
Naomi Seibt, a 25-year-old German right-wing activist, previously dubbed the “anti-Greta Thunberg,” has applied for asylum in the United States. She announced the move on her X account, posting a picture of herself wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat with the caption: “Today, I am officially the first German asylum seeker in the U.S. under President Trump.”
Seibt, known for her support of the populist, anti-mass migration Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, said she fled her home country out of fear for her safety. She said she had received multiple death threats from Antifa members, which police refused to meaningfully investigate, and that she was under surveillance by German intelligence agencies. “It starts with Antifa, which is stronger in Germany than it is anywhere else in the world… I have received many death threats from Antifa,” she said in an interview.
U.S. Representative Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican from Florida, voiced her support for Seibt’s asylum claim. Writing on X, Luna said, “I will be personally assisting with her case and writing to the Secretary of State [Marco Rubio] regarding what she is facing as well as the German Government’s prosecution of its own citizens for fighting [W]estern ideology and their culture.” She also criticized Berlin’s approach to political dissent, stating, “The very same German government that claims to fight Nazism is becoming… like the secret police.”
Seibt has long described herself as a defender of free speech and conservative values. She expressed admiration for what she called American patriotism and argued that the AfD is the only party in Germany promoting similar ideals. “The AfD is not against immigration at all, we just want immigration that goes through strict and rigorous controls,” she said. She characterized the AfD as a libertarian-conservative movement aiming to “restore patriotism” rather than a nationalist or imperialist one. Seibt has used her online following to highlight political persecution in Germany and to campaign for tighter immigration and greater freedom of expression.
Her case comes amid a significant shift in U.S. refugee policy under President Donald J. Trump. The administration recently cut the refugee admissions cap to just 7,500 for the next fiscal year, the lowest in American history, while prioritizing white South African applicants, particularly Afrikaners, who face discrimination in their home country. Leftist organizations, including the Episcopal Church, have criticized the policy and suspended participation in federal resettlement programs, because the refugees are white.
President Trump is also reportedly considering allowing Europeans facing censorship for expressing anti-mass migration and conservative views to claim asylum, with Vice President J.D. Vance having warned against the erosion of free speech in Britain and the European Union (EU) multiple times.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Delays and cancellations began escalating in October 2025, impacting major U.S. airports like Orlando, Dallas/Fort Worth, and Washington, D.C., with ripple effects across the East Coast and California.
🎯IMPACT: Passengers have faced significant disruptions, with cascading delays and grounded flights affecting travel plans nationwide and internationally.
IN FULL
The Senate Democrats’ government shutdown unleashed further travel chaos on Friday, with airports across the United States experiencing widespread delays and cancellations. As of 9 AM ET, FlightAware reported 787 delayed flights and 242 cancellations—likely setting off additional disruptions throughout the day.
On Thursday, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reported that 7,250 flights were delayed and 1,249 were canceled nationwide. Airports in Orlando, Dallas/Fort Worth, and Washington, D.C. were particularly impacted by shortages of air traffic controllers, many of whom have been working without pay since the shutdown began on October 1.
The FAA’s Command Center has indicated that weather also remains a significant factor, with storms moving across the Northeast and expected to linger into Friday. Delays at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport reached up to 30 minutes, while Newark International Airport reported 15-minute departure delays. Ground stop and delay programs are anticipated at several East Coast and California airports.
In Canada, similar issues have arisen, with tower closures at Kelowna and Winnipeg airports due to staffing shortages. Tim Perry, President of the Canadian branch of the Air Line Pilots Association, stated, “This lack of stability in Canada’s aviation sector must be addressed.”
The disruptions have left thousands of passengers stranded, particularly in Orlando, where the FAA announced that no certified controllers would be available for a period of time, preventing landings at Orlando Airport. The ripple effects of these delays and cancellations are expected to continue throughout the day.

🎯IMPACT: The deployment aims to address D.C.’s violent crime crisis and provide federal support to local law enforcement efforts.
IN FULL
Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth has moved to extend the deployment of National Guard troops in Washington, D.C., through February. The deployment of more than 2,000 National Guardsmen was initially set to expire at the end of November.
An Army official explained that the Guardsmen “are patrolling communities, deterring crime, and providing vital assistance to the citizens and visitors of the District of Columbia.” The Guard has been present in D.C. since August, following President Donald J. Trump’s decision to mobilize about 800 members and place the city’s police department under federal control.
President Trump declared a public emergency over the city’s violent crime crisis and directed Hegseth to deploy the Guard. Federal agencies, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), were also sent to assist in addressing crime and illegal immigration.
Currently, there are 2,389 National Guardsmen stationed in Washington, D.C., with 960 from the District itself and 1,427 from Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia, according to the Joint Task Force—D.C.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The deployment follows recent U.S. airstrikes and was observed near Grenada, with vessels now stationed 124 miles from Venezuela’s La Orchila Island.
💬KEY QUOTE: “If I was Maduro, I’d head to Russia or China right now.” — Senator Rick Scott
🎯IMPACT: The deployment signals Washington’s readiness for potential strikes or broader operations, escalating tensions with Venezuela.
IN FULL
The United States continues building up naval assets near Venezuela. Recent satellite images show the USS Iwo Jima—a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship—and the USS Gravely—an Arleigh Burke-class (Flight IIA) Aegis guided missile destroyer—moving into strike range of the South American narco state. The move comes as the USS Gerald Ford Carrier Strike Group is expected to soon enter the Caribbean, significantly amplifying U.S. military capabilities in the region.
The U.S. has escalated strikes on cartel-operated drug boats, with observers now anticipating a new phase against the narco organizations and the Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro. According to new reports, the U.S. military will soon begin strikes against Venezuelan military installations, which serve as operational bases for the Maduro-tied Soles drug cartel. It is believed that strikes could start in a matter of days—likely signaling the arrival of the USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier, the largest warship ever built.
Images by the ESA’s Sentinel-2 satellites show the USS Iwo Jima and her Arleigh Burke-class destroyer escort heading westward after being spotted off the coast of Grenada over the past few days. The warships are now approximately 124 miles from Venezuela’s La Orchila Island—home to one of the country’s key airbases and radar facilities. Their approach places them within immediate operational range for amphibious or precision strike missions, intensifying pressure on Caracas as regional tensions climb.
Potential airstrikes against the Venezuelan mainland will likely come in several waves, with F-35s launched from both Puerto Rico and the USS Ford‘s flight deck. Additionally, unknown assets out of Curaçao—an island about 40 miles off the coast of Venezuela—will also likely be involved. Several U.S. military flights have been used to deploy an unknown contingent to the island in recent weeks.
At the heart of this deployment, the USS Iwo Jima carries more than 1,600 Marines from the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (SOC). Embarked with the amphibious transport docks USS San Antonio and USS Fort Lauderdale, the group brings advanced aircraft including AV-8B Harriers, AH-1Z Vipers, and MV-22 Ospreys. These assets enable amphibious assaults, precision raids, and rapid response operations across the Caribbean theater.
The U.S. military has now deployed more than 10,000 personnel across the Caribbean, with additional assets such as Carrier Air Wing 8 aboard the USS Gerald R. Ford and six Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, including the Gravely, armed with Tomahawk missiles. U.S. Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) said earlier this week, “If I was Maduro, I’d head to Russia or China right now.”

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: SpaceX, President Donald J. Trump, and Elon Musk.
📍WHEN & WHERE: The report surfaced on October 31, 2025, following a bill signed in July 2025.
🎯IMPACT: SpaceX’s involvement in U.S. defense is expected to grow, potentially reviving its relationship with President Trump.
IN FULL
Elon Musk’s SpaceX is reportedly set to receive $2 billion from the U.S. government to develop satellites for the Golden Dome project, aimed at tracking missiles and aircraft. This funding, part of the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) Act signed by President Trump in July, was not initially linked to any specific contractor, with SpaceX only recently believed to have won the contract.
The Golden Dome project, announced by Trump in May 2025, is a proposed missile defense system that combines space-based sensors with ground-based radars and missiles. The project has a budget of $175 billion and could eventually include up to 600 satellites.
SpaceX is also expected to contribute significantly to two other Pentagon satellite projects: Milnet, for military communications, and another network for tracking ground vehicles. Other companies, such as Anduril Industries and traditional defense contractors, have also proposed technologies for the initiative.
The National Pulse reported in April that Musk’s SpaceX was a leading candidate to win the Golden Dome contract, at least in terms of developing the satellite infrastructure. Other contractors likely to be involved include Palantir and Anduril. SpaceX, valued at $400 billion, has already launched over 10,000 satellites for its Starlink service, demonstrating its capability in satellite deployment.
SpaceX’s contract also suggests that Musk and President Trump have likely mended fences after the two had a falling out earlier this year.
💬KEY QUOTE: “It is now time for the Republicans to play their ‘TRUMP CARD,’ and go for what is called the Nuclear Option — Get rid of the Filibuster, and get rid of it, NOW!” – President Trump
🎯IMPACT: Trump’s call renews debate over the filibuster as a method to resolve the ongoing government shutdown.
IN FULL
President Donald J. Trump has urged Senate Republicans to use the so-called “nuclear option” to end the filibuster, circumventing Senate Democrats and funding the government. The House has already passed a temporary funding bill, but the Senate has failed to reach the 60-vote threshold to advance the legislation due to Democrats withholding their votes. The shutdown has now reached its 31st day, nearing a record.
Trump called for Republicans to use the “Nuclear Option” and eliminate the filibuster. “It is now time for the Republicans to play their ‘TRUMP CARD,’ and go for what is called the Nuclear Option — Get rid of the Filibuster, and get rid of it, NOW! Just a short while ago, the Democrats, while in power, fought for three years to do this, but were unable to pull it off because of Senators Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. He argued that Democrats would end the filibuster if they were in power and that Republicans should act now while they have the chance.
“The one question that kept coming up, however, was how did the Democrats SHUT DOWN the United States of America, and why did the powerful Republicans allow them to do it? The fact is, in flying back, I thought a great deal about that question, WHY?” Trump wrote.
The America First leader continued: “Well, now WE are in power, and if we did what we should be doing, it would IMMEDIATELY end this ridiculous, Country destroying ‘SHUT DOWN.’ If the Democrats ever came back into power, which would be made easier for them if the Republicans are not using the Great Strength and Policies made available to us by ending the Filibuster, the Democrats will exercise their rights, and it will be done in the first day they take office, regardless of whether or not we do it.”
Trump added: “BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT THE DEMOCRATS HAVE GONE STONE COLD ‘CRAZY,’ THE CHOICE IS CLEAR — INITIATE THE ‘NUCLEAR OPTION,’ GET RID OF THE FILIBUSTER AND, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
The National Pulse has previously reported that Sens. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) and John Fetterman (D-PA) have backed a push to end the filibuster. However, some longtime Capitol Hill observers warn that Republicans moving to end the filibuster may actually be the outcome Democrats desire most. After it emerged that Senate Democrats remain mostly unified in opposition to reopening the government, Liam Donovan—a former congressional staffer and executive with consulting firm Targeted Victory—argues: “They want Rs to nuke. They’d settle for a price. But that’s what this is meant to signal—nuke it, we’re not budging.”

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) revealed on Friday morning that it had stopped a possible terrorist plot in Michigan set for Halloween weekend. In a social media update, FBI Director Kash Patel announced, “This morning the FBI thwarted a potential terrorist attack and arrested multiple subjects in Michigan who were allegedly plotting a violent attack over Halloween weekend.”
Patel expressed gratitude to FBI personnel and law enforcement, noting, “More details to come. Thanks to the men and women of FBI and law enforcement everywhere standing guard 24/7 and crushing our mission to defend the homeland.”
Details on the precise timing and site of the intended attack are still unknown. Early Friday, FBI agents carried out operations in Dearborn, a major Islamic population hub, and Inkster, as confirmed by a Detroit FBI spokesman, who added that the public faces no ongoing danger.
Dearborn officials reinforced this in a Facebook statement: “We want to assure our residents that there is no threat to the community at this time. The Dearborn Police Department remains committed to the safety and security of all who live, work, and visit our city.”This remains an evolving situation, with additional information anticipated as the probe progresses.
