Global consulting firm Roland Berger has published a study projecting the infrastructure required to support electric medium and heavy-duty trucks will cost over $1 trillion.
This analysis, conducted on behalf of the Clean Freight Coalition, projects a $620 billion investment for the construction of new charging stations, chargers, and site infrastructure, in addition to increased utility service fees. An estimated $496 billion is predicted to be needed for on-site charging stations alone. Heavy-duty truck chargers could cost as much as $145,000 per vehicle, with medium-duty models coming in at $54,000.

The study anticipates that utilities must contribute approximately $370 billion to upgrade the grid to meet the heightened electricity demand brought on by electric truck charging. The report also expects an investment of $69 billion to establish local on-route charging and an additional $57 billion for a highway charging network for long-haul trucking opportunities.
Roland Berger recommends exploring alternative routes for decarbonization, considering the prohibitive investments associated with electric fleet transition. They also warn of the possibility of increased freight costs, which could impact consumers, without sufficient government and regulatory support.
Increased state support for electrification could also hurt consumers by leading to an increased burden in terms of tax and government debt.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The concerns were raised following Monaco’s appointment earlier this year as Microsoft’s President of Global Affairs, with CASA’s letter sent on October 31 during the ongoing fallout of the Arctic Frost probe.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Monaco has been shockingly hired as the President of Global Affairs for Microsoft, in a very senior role with access to Highly Sensitive Information. Monaco’s having that kind of access is unacceptable, and cannot be allowed to stand.” — President Trump
🎯IMPACT: The letter has intensified scrutiny of Monaco’s role at Microsoft and her access to sensitive government information, with calls for DHS to investigate and potentially terminate contracts with the tech giant.
IN FULL
The Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) is urging the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to review its contracts with Microsoft after the company hired Lisa Monaco, a former Biden government Department of Justice (DOJ) official, as its President of Global Affairs. Monaco was a central figure in the Arctic Frost scandal, which saw former special counsel Jack Smith abuse Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) resources to collect the phone records of Republican lawmakers, as well as over 430 Republican campaign operatives, leaders, and organizations. The National Pulse previously reported that Monaco—along with former Attorney General Merrick Garland and former FBI Director Christoper Wray—provided the initial approval for Arctic Frost.
CASA’s letter to DHS contends Monaco’s position poses a national security risk, citing her access to sensitive information shared between Microsoft and the federal government. “The risk that Monaco could again use access to information contained in Department contracts to turn against her political opponents, or even those Microsoft users within the government with whom she disagrees, is great given her past outrageous behavior,” CASA Director James Fitzpatrick wrote, pushing DHS to investigate Microsoft’s contracts and consider their termination.
“Given Lisa Monaco’s leadership role in weaponizing the Biden Department of Justice against its political enemies, as evidenced in the recently released documents detailing ‘Arctic Frost’, it is wholly inappropriate and a risk to national security for Monaco to have any role whatsoever in the oversight of DHS contracts at Microsoft,” Fitzpatrick said separately in a statement.
President Donald J. Trump has also weighed in on the matter, writing in a post on Truth Social, “Monaco has been shockingly hired as the President of Global Affairs for Microsoft, in a very senior role with access to Highly Sensitive Information. Monaco’s having that kind of access is unacceptable, and cannot be allowed to stand. She is a menace to U.S. National Security, especially given the major contracts that Microsoft has with the United States Government.” Trump previously rescinded Monaco’s security clearance in March, citing similar concerns.

💬KEY QUOTE: “It is time to drastically reform this program so that we can make sure that those who are truly needy, truly vulnerable, are getting what they need.” – Brooke Rollins
🎯IMPACT: Thousands of instances of illegal SNAP use were uncovered, with 700,000 people removed from the program since Trump’s inauguration, and over 118 arrests made for fraud.
IN FULL
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins announced this week that 29 states have complied with a federal request to share Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) data in order to ensure that illegal immigrants are not receiving benefits. Twenty-one Democrat-run states refused to provide the requested information, according to Rollins.
Rollins stated on November 2 that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) sent letters to all 50 governors in February, reminding them that federal law prohibits illegal immigrants from accessing SNAP and requesting state data for a nationwide review. She noted that participation in the SNAP climbed by nearly 40 percent under the former Biden regime.
Rollins said the data-sharing initiative uncovered “thousands” of cases of illegal SNAP use, including fraudulent activity involving Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) cards. She reported that nearly 700,000 people have been removed from the program since President Donald J. Trump returned to office, with more than 118 arrests tied to ongoing investigations into fraud.
“What this country has allowed is a national spotlight on a broken and corrupt program,” Rollins said. She also revealed that investigators found over 5,000 cases of people continuing to receive benefits after their death. “It is time to drastically reform this program so that we can make sure that those who are truly needy, truly vulnerable, are getting what they need,” she added.
In a post on X, Rollins reiterated that 21 blue states declined to share data and said that two of them have sued the USDA over the request. The SNAP program, commonly known as food stamps, has been a central issue during the ongoing government shutdown. A federal judge recently ruled that benefits must continue for the 42 million Americans who rely on them, although the Trump administration is seeking clarification on how the program can be legally funded during the shutdown.
According to the USDA, SNAP enrollment dropped by over 600,000 people between January and May 2025, from roughly 42.38 million to 41.74 million, a decline the Trump administration highlighted as evidence of reducing food stamp dependence.
The issue of illegal immigrants receiving government benefits has also drawn national attention. The administration has pursued several actions aimed at preventing noncitizens from accessing taxpayer-funded aid, including blocking illegal immigrants from collecting Social Security benefits and suing states such as Minnesota for offering tuition assistance to illegals. The White House recently reported uncovering dozens of criminal noncitizens who were receiving Medicaid benefits.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The BBC Panorama programme Trump: A Second Chance? including the doctored speech aired in October 2024, with the report on the scandal emerging in November 2025.
💬KEY QUOTE: “It was completely misleading to edit the clip in the way Panorama aired it.” – Michael Prescott
🎯IMPACT: The revelation could affect the BBC’s relationship with the White House.
IN FULL
An internal whistleblowing memo has revealed that the BBC edited footage of a speech by President Donald J. Trump, making it appear as though he was encouraging a riot at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. This information, contained in a 19-page whistleblowing memo, reveals that the BBC Panorama programme Trump: A Second Chance? misled viewers by splicing together different parts of Trump’s speech to create a false narrative.
“The spliced together version of Trump’s comments aired by Panorama made it seem that [President] said: ‘We’re gonna walk down to the Capitol and I’ll be with you and we fight. We fight like hell and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not gonna have a country anymore,'” reads the whistleblowing memo on the scandal, which was sent to BBC managers.
“In reality, the first part of Trump’s speech: ‘We’re gonna walk down to the Capitol and I’ll be with you,’ came 15 minutes into the speech. The second half of the sentence that was aired by Panorama, ‘and we fight. We fight like hell…’ came 54 minutes later,” it notes, adding: “Fifteen minutes into the speech, Trump actually said: ‘We are gonna walk down to the Capitol and I’ll be with you. I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.'”
The memo brands Panorama‘s spliced clip “completely misleading,” stressing that the “fact that [President Trump] did not explicitly exhort supporters to go down and fight at Capitol Hill was one of the reasons there were no federal charges for incitement to riot.”
Notably, the Panorama programme also cuts in footage of men marching on the Capitol following Trump’s speech, when in fact they marched on the Capitol before the President began speaking.
Michael Prescott, a former member of the BBC’s standards committee, authored the memo. He criticized the BBC for ignoring serious complaints about the programme’s bias and for failing to address the issue. Notably, Prescott sent his findings to the BBC’s board and chairman, India-born Samir Shah, urging them to address the problem, but he received no response.
Prescott also raised issues about the programme’s clear anti-Trump bias, with ten critics interviewed for it against just one supporter, and no similar programme examining Trump’s rival, then-Vice President Kamala Harris, being produced. As a compulsory television license fee funds it, the BBC is required to be balanced and impartial in its coverage—although there is little enforcement of this requirement, and it is widely regarded as having an institutional left-wing bias.

🎯IMPACT: The financial support from CAIR and the broader Muslim community is not without strings attached, according to Sarsour
IN FULL
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has emerged as one of the dark money funders of Zohran Mamdani, the Democrats’ socialist candidate for New York City mayor. Campaign finance records show the group—with alleged ties to Islamic extremists—both directly and indirectly funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars to Mamdani’s mayoral campaign over the last year. In addition, Islamist activist Linda Sarsour claims CAIR has been instrumental in pushing the broader American Mulsim community to contribute to Mamdani, making its impact far larger than data suggests.
“Right now, I’m a little more quiet, because I’m on the quiet side of this race,” Sarsour told attendees at CAIR’s National Leadership and Policy Conference in September. “But I’m going to tell you that once November 4 comes around, I will tell the story. The story is not just that it’s random that Zohran ascended to this place, it is our Muslim-American communities… and I will also say that it’s Muslim money, the PACs that have supported Zohran or a particular PAC that has supported Zohran, is probably over 80 percent of Mulsim-American donors in this country.”
“And I want to make the point that the Unity and Justice Fund PAC, which is the CAIR SuperPAC, was the largest institutional donor to the pro-Zorhan PAC in New York,” Sarsour claimed.
BREAKING: Who bankrolled @ZohranKMamdani‘s campaign and the DSA takeover of the Democrats? @lsarsour tells all.
The financial support from CAIR and the broader Muslim community is not without strings attached, something Sarsour made clear in an Instagram live stream this past Saturday. “I just want you all to know I’m not going to work for the Zohran administration. I’m not going to work in City Hall, because, guess what? There gotta be people like me willing to stay outside,” she said.
Sarsour also warned Mamdani: “Our friends on the inside need people on the outside to hold them accountable. To say, ‘We see you. We’re paying attention.’”

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: John Fetterman, CNN’s Jake Tapper, the Trump White House, and Democrats.
📍WHEN & WHERE: November 2025, on CNN.
💬KEY QUOTE: “I feel like the Democrats really need to own the shutdown.” – John Fetterman
🎯IMPACT: The admission highlights internal conflict among Democrats over the strategy of shutting down the federal government to make tax subsidies permanent.
IN FULL
Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) admitted during a recent interview that his party bears responsibility for the ongoing federal government shutdown. Fetterman said, “I feel like the Democrats really need to own the shutdown. I mean, we’re shutting it down. I know why. They claim because they want to address the tax credits. And I fully support that.”
The current budget impasse stems from Democrats’ push to make permanent certain COVID-era tax subsidies tied to the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as Obamacare. Republicans, meanwhile, have called for the passage of a short-term continuing resolution (CR) to reopen and fund the government before addressing the dispute over the subsidies.
Fetterman, who has generally supported measures to keep the government funded, emphasized his consistent record on such votes. “I voted for all of their CRs, our CRs, every single time,” he said, warning of the consequences of a prolonged shutdown. He highlighted the risks for millions of Americans dependent on federal nutrition assistance (SNAP), noting, “We can’t be putting 42 million people who rely on food stamps in danger because of political gridlock.”
Although Fetterman said he supports extending the Obamacare healthcare subsidies, he was sharply critical of his party’s tactics, arguing that using a shutdown as leverage is hypocritical. “It was wrong when the Republicans did it. It’s wrong now that we seem to be driving it,” he said.
The Pennsylvania senator’s remarks add to his growing reputation as one of the most outspoken and unconventional voices in the Democratic Party. Over the past year, Fetterman has taken several positions that have surprised members of both parties. In October, he said he would consider backing a Republican-led effort to abolish the Senate filibuster, calling the procedural tool “a weapon for gridlock.” Fetterman has also collaborated with Republican senators on legislation aimed at curbing Chinese influence in U.S. agriculture, particularly concerning the purchase of American farmland by companies linked to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Despite his occasional alignment with GOP priorities, Fetterman has repeatedly dismissed rumors that he might switch parties. In January, he called such speculation “amateur hour” and insisted, “It’s not gonna happen. Even if I wanted to do that, that is a rocket sled to Palookaville. I would make a pretty bad Republican.”

📍WHEN & WHERE: Data pertains to prisoners in England and Wales as of June.
💬KEY QUOTE: “This is yet more evidence that migrants from some nationalities are more likely to commit certain crimes.” – Shadow Secretary of State for Justice Robert Jenrick
🎯IMPACT: The data highlights concerns over foreign nationals’ involvement in serious crimes, prompting calls for transparency and action.
IN FULL
Recent figures from the British Ministry of Justice (MOJ) show that a large proportion of foreign nationals imprisoned for sexual offences in England and Wales come from just five countries. The first analysis of prisoners’ crimes by nationality reveals that offenders from Romania, Pakistan, Poland, Ireland, and India make up 457 of the 1,731 foreign sex offenders behind bars as of June. Together, they represent around one in four of all jailed foreign sex offenders.
On a per capita basis, Bangladeshi migrants are by far the most likely to be imprisoned for sex crimes, with over 42 percent of those in British prisons convicted of sexual offenses. Kenyans are behind them at 37 percent, followed by Sudanese, Ethiopians, and Eritreans.
The total number of foreign nationals imprisoned for sex crimes has risen by 9.9 percent in the past year, compared with a 3.8 percent increase in British offenders convicted of similar offences. The data, released following a Freedom of Information request, comes amid growing public concern about serious crimes, including sexual crimes, committed by migrants, and the handling of foreign national offenders by the authorities. For instance, Ethiopian asylum seeker Hadush Kebatu, deported after being convicted of a series of sexual assaults in Essex, England, drew national attention when it was revealed that the Home Office paid him several hundred pounds to comply with his deportation order. Kebatu, whose crimes sparked anti-mass migration protests and riots, had previously been released from prison in error and let loose among the public again, leading to a national manhunt.
Other recent cases have also further fuelled public anger. In London, an Egyptian-born asylum seeker who entered the UK illegally was convicted of raping a woman in Hyde Park; he was later found to have a previous conviction in Egypt for plotting terrorist attacks. In Manchester, a Syrian who carried out a terrorist attack against a synagogue turned out to be on bail for an alleged rape when he struck.
Robert Jenrick, the Shadow Justice Secretary, remarked that the public deserves full transparency about the nationality of offenders and the Labour Party government’s management of their cases. “This is yet more evidence that migrants from some nationalities are more likely to commit certain crimes,” he said, calling for the Ministry of Justice to publish all related data.

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) food benefits may end up being at least partially distributed on Monday, following a controversial order by U.S. District Court Judge John J. McConnell, Jr. of Rhode Island. Appointed to the bench by former President Barack Obama, McConnell’s ruling has drawn extensive criticism from the legal community, as well as confusion from the Trump White House, as it requires the administration to tap a small emergency reserve of around $5.25 billion to cover $8.5 billion in November SNAP benefits.
“I do not want Americans to go hungry. [I] ask the Court to clarify how we can legally fund SNAP as soon as possible. . . . If we are given the appropriate legal direction by the Court, it will BE MY HONOR to provide the funding,” President Donald J. Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social late Friday. This prompted McConnell to issue guidance over the weekend, essentially telling the administration to find the extra funds—though he acknowledged this must be done in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act. Impossibly, the judge ordered that benefits must begin processing by the end of Monday, and partial payment should be completed by Wednesday.
However, Judge McConnell’s order may not withstand further legal scrutiny from the appellate court or potentially the U.S. Supreme Court. Foremost, the ruling—which strangely takes the form of a “temporary restraining order” despite compelling an action rather than barring it—is universal in application, likely running afoul of a Supreme Court ruling earlier this year that limited such nationwide orders to only class-action lawsuits. In a footnote, the judge offers a weak defense of the order’s nationwide application, simply claiming that “a limited order would not provide complete relief.”
In addition, it appears Judge McConnell only considered the congressional appropriation aspect of the SNAP program and benefit payments during the Senate Democrat-caused government shutdown. The judge failed to consider the issue of the SNAP program itself, which is not currently in existence—in a technical sense—since its congressional authorization lapsed in 2023 and has been temporarily reauthorized through subsequent continuing resolutions (CRs). When Senate Democrats blocked the CR to temporarily fund the government on October 1, they also blocked the underlying SNAP reauthorization.
“Is there money in a contingency fund? Sure, probably. At minimum there’s $3b available through 09/2026. Maybe there’s another $3b available through 09/2027 but none of that necessarily matters,” former Senate Judiciary Committee counsel Mike Fragoso noted in a post on X (formerly Twitter). “You see, the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008 was most recently reauthorized in the 2018 Farm Bill. That authorization ran out in 2023 and subsequent CRs have *carried that authorization* for their length. This means that SNAP’s authorization expired with the CR on October 1st. The program is no longer in effect, and with it this entitlement.”

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The populist, anti-mass migration Alternative for Germany (AfD) parliamentary group initiated the analysis of Police Crime Statistics (PKS) data.
📍WHEN & WHERE: The data covers the period from 2015 to 2024 in Germany.
💬KEY QUOTE: “The number of victims is increasing – in parallel with the number of refugees.” – Focus Magazine
🎯IMPACT: The report highlights the significant rise in crime victims in Germany directly linked to the migrant crisis of 2015-16 and subsequent chain migration.
IN FULL
From 2015 to 2024, roughly 426,000 Germans fell victim to offenses carried out by suspects originating from ten key refugee-sending nations. In that timeframe, about 512,000 non-Germans were also victimized by migrants from this same group. This examination of Police Crime Statistics (PKS) comes from a parliamentary query submitted by the populist, anti-mass migration Alternative for Germany (AfD) parliamentary group.
The AfD selected ten nations for scrutiny, namely Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, Morocco, Algeria, Iran, Nigeria, Somalia, Pakistan, and Georgia, as they have contributed significant refugee populations to Germany. Through PKS data, nationals of these countries have been tallied against victims of crime.
Victim numbers have surged markedly since 2015, aligning with the influx of people from these ten countries into Germany. The fewest cases were reported in 2020 and 2021, mirroring the broader decline in crime rates during the COVID-19 pandemic. Syrians boast the most victims, with 35,668, followed by Afghanistan, with 72,190. All have over 10,000.
In terms of particular crimes, the data indicates that, for instance, Algerian nationals are accused of robbery 12,685 percent more frequently than Germans, with similarly elevated rates for Georgians (3,846 percent higher), Libyans (3,641 percent higher), and Tunisians (3,132 percent higher).

Turning Point USA (TPUSA), founded by assassinated conservative youth organizer Charlie Kirk, has disputed claims made by the Israeli government that Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk’s widow, is set to accept an award on his behalf at the Christian Media Summit in Jerusalem this week.
The summit, organized by Israel’s Government Press Office (GPO) along with the Israeli Foreign Ministry and the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews, is hosting over 100 Christian figures and includes an award ceremony recognizing participants for their “exceptional contribution” to Israeli public diplomacy worldwide, as reported by The Times of Israel.
Andrew Kolvet, a spokesman for TPUSA and executive producer of The Charlie Kirk Show, expressed surprise at the claims in a post on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “This is the first we’re hearing of this!” He further mentioned that they have reached out to the Israeli press for a correction.
Kolvet also confirmed in another post that “Erika [Kirk] will not be attending” the event.
Charlie Kirk, a longtime supporter of Israel, was experiencing some friction with the Jewish State and its supporters before his assassination. Leaked texts revealed his frustration with Jewish donors, whom he accused of “leaving me no choice but to leave the pro-Israel cause” due to alleged bullying over his management of TPUSA.

Two people have been arrested following a stabbing incident on a train heading to Huntingdon. Armed police were deployed to Huntingdon station in Cambridgeshire on Saturday evening after reports of multiple passengers being attacked. Cambridgeshire Police confirmed that officers responded at 7:39 PM after receiving reports of the stabbings.
One eyewitness told media that at least one of the suspects was a black man wearing a black mask. Around 12 people are believed to have needed medical attention. The story is developing.
The train involved was the 1825 London North Eastern Railway (LNER) service from Doncaster to London. More than 30 officers attended the scene, and several individuals were taken to the hospital. The A1307 road near Huntingdon has also been closed. An East of England Ambulance Service spokesperson stated that numerous ambulances, tactical commanders, and critical care teams were dispatched to the site.
Witnesses described chaotic scenes, with one claiming to have seen a man with a large knife and “blood everywhere.” Some passengers reportedly hid in lavatories to escape, while others were trampled during the panic. Another witness told The Mirror newspaper they saw a person “hanging out the train door bleeding.”
Prime Minister Keir Starmer described the event as “deeply concerning,” expressing his thoughts for those affected and thanking the emergency services for their swift response.
Train services in the area have been severely disrupted, with LNER confirming that all lines around Huntingdon station are blocked and disruption expected to last until the end of the day.
