🚨🇺🇸 A CIA contractor allegedly LEAKED Top Secret intel to his girlfriend’s Substack. The FBI arrested Ian Brinksman and charged him with unlawfully transmitting national defense information. Investigators traced over 800 calls between him and journalist Aida Chavez after he repeatedly accessed classified files inside secure CIA facilities. The stolen intelligence exposed Israeli pressure to assassinate top Iranian negotiator Ghalibaf, secret plans for permanent U.S. military bases in Israel, and CIA assessments warning of internal civil conflict in Israel. The ultimate irony is that Brinksman previously co-authored a paper on stopping millennial insider intelligence threats. Now he faces YEARS in federal prison for becoming one.

A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE nytimes.com/2026/10/23/us/po…

Pete Hegseth got married at Trump National Golf Club while he still worked at Fox, but I think this is the first Fox wedding at Mar-a-Lago?
Big night at Mar a Lago tonight: POTUS, FLOTUS, top admin officials and many Fox stars attended Sean Hannity and Ainsley Earhardt's wedding rehearsal dinner

As all linear TV brands grapple with audiences migrating to YouTube, Fox News has yet to have a crisis of confidence. For 30 years it has been ruthless about focusing on what its viewers want. hollywoodreporter.com/busine…

Imagine being Trump’s ambassador to the UN. Your boss promised the war in Iran would last just weeks. He also promised to end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. Now you’re telling the world the Iran war could last another year. How humiliating must it be to have that job?

How resilient is your website? If you're just adding to a city, state, or large organization's web presence, you likely have an IT staff checking vulnerabilities and making sure your hosting provider is doing its job. But it never hurts to check. You might be surprised. basicpio.com/f/how-resilient…

The Trump administration made sharp cuts to CISA, which is tasked with protecting voting systems. Some state officials say they fear that what is left of the agency has been compromised by a conspiracy-obsessed presidential administration. propublica.org/article/cisa-…

NEW: Democrats are demanding an immediate briefing from DHS after it systematically gutted our election security and left officials in the dark about threats.

With Americans already voting, Congress is owed answers directly from the administration.

White House has now banned Feinberg from Thursday’s print pool in retaliation for his questions. Imagine: Punishing a reporter for…trying to ask questions.
Donald Trump lost his temper at a journalist during an Oval Office press conference, calling him a “sick person”. The US president raged at The Independent’s Andrew Feinberg after he asked him questions about his golf course and his new tip-off hotline designed to expose fraudsters. 🔗 telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2…
