The Kleine Brogel Air Base is widely believed to be the host to various U.S. nuclear weapons under NATO’s nuclear sharing arrangements. The base is also set to serve as the home to F-35 fighter jets beginning in 2027, Belga News Agency reported.

Elderly protester Zura Menteshashvili detained for allegedly having closed the Rustaveli road.

He had just been released from detention for the same “offense,” which means that now he’ll face criminal prosecution of up to 1 year!

National Press Club honors imprisoned USAGM journalists with its highest press freedom award WASHINGTON, Oct. 31, 2025 — The National Press Club will award its 2025 John Aubuchon Press Freedom Award to a group of nine journalists affiliated with the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM) who remain imprisoned abroad following the agency’s dismantling earlier this year. The Club’s Board of Directors agreed the honor is meant both to recognize the journalists’ courage to practice journalism in parts of the world often dangerous for journalists and to call attention to what it describes as a failure by the United States government to defend reporters jailed for work that advanced U.S. ideals of free expression.  “These nine journalists risked their freedom to report the truth in some of the world’s most dangerous places,” said National Press Club President Mike Balsamo. “They carried out the work of a free press — shining light where others tried to impose silence — and they did so under the banner of U.S.-supported media. Their courage deserves our deepest respect.” The Aubuchon Award, named for late National Press Club President John Aubuchon, is the organization’s highest recognition for press freedom. It is awarded annually to recognize journalists both domestic and abroad who risk their lives or liberty in pursuit of the truth. This year’s award highlights nine USAGM-affiliated reporters who remain in prison across several authoritarian countries. They include: Shin Daewe, a Burmese documentary filmmaker and Radio Free Asia (RFA) contributor, has been sentenced to up to 15 years under Myanmar’s Anti-Terrorism Law for purchasing drone equipment used in her reporting. Sithu Aung Myint, a commentator for Voice of America (VOA), has been sentenced to three years in Myanmar on charges of “incitement” and “defamation” after criticizing the military junta. Nguyen Lan Thang, a contributor to RFA’s Vietnamese Service, has been sentenced in Vietnam to six years in prison for “spreading anti-state propaganda.” Nguyen Tuong Thuy, a contributor to RFA’s Vietnamese Service, has been sentenced to 11 years in prison for defaming the Hanoi government. Pham Chi Dung, a journalist, blogger, and VOA contributor, sentenced to a 15-year prison term in Vietnam after being convicted of “propaganda against the state.” Truong Duy Nhat, a contributor for RFA’s Vietnamese Service’s blog section before his January 2019 abduction in Thailand by police, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for “abusing his position and authority while on duty.” Nguyen Vu Binh, a contributor to RFA’s Vietnamese language service, has been sentenced to seven years in prison on charges of propaganda against the state. Farid Mehralizada, an Azerbaijani journalist with Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), has been sentenced to nine years on politically motivated financial charges. Nika Novak, a reporter for RFE/RL’s Russian Service, has been sentenced to four years in prison for “collaboration with a foreign organization on a confidential basis.” “Their imprisonment should outrage anyone who believes in America’s commitment to liberty,” Balsamo said. “These reporters advanced U.S. values of transparency and free expression and yet they’ve been left behind. Their abandonment is a stain on our nation’s credibility and a reminder of what happens when we retreat from defending press freedom.” USAGM is an independent federal agency that oversees VOA, the United States’ largest and oldest international broadcaster, and provides grants to RFA, RFE/RL, and other news agencies. The agency had around 3,500 employees with an annual budget of $886 million in 2024.  The National Press Club’s Board of Governors said its decision to honor the imprisoned journalists was driven in part by the collapse of the USAGM structure earlier this year. USAGM had previously funded and supported independent U.S.-backed media outlets operating abroad. The dismantling, critics say, left dozens of journalists vulnerable to retaliation and removed formal avenues for the U.S. government to advocate for their release.  “The United States cannot walk away from these journalists or the ideals they represent,” Balsamo said. “We urge the White House, Congress, and the State Department to re-engage, to press for their release and to ensure that future U.S.-supported media operations have clear mechanisms for protecting journalists who risk their lives in America’s name.” To date this year, five journalists affiliated with USAGM-backed entities have been released from prison. The National Press Club will confer the 2025 Aubuchon awards, along with the Neil and Susan Sheehan Award for Investigative Journalism, during its annual Fourth Estate Award Gala honoring Robert Costa on Dec. 9 in Washington, D.C. Tickets are available.    The gala dinner is a fundraiser for the Club’s nonprofit affiliate, the National Press Club Journalism Institute, which produces training to equip journalists with skills and standards to inform the public in ways that inspire civic engagement. Tickets and more information for the event can be found here. About the National Press Club Founded in 1908, the National Press Club is the world’s leading professional organization for journalists. Based in Washington, D.C., the Club has nearly 3,000 members representing nearly every major news organization. It hosts newsmakers from around the globe, champions press freedom worldwide through through its Press Freedom Center and serves as a hub for journalistic excellence and advocacy.

Thank you!

More than 170 US citizens have been held by immigration agents ProPublica uncovered that Americans have been kicked, dragged, and detained for days.

During a press conference, Kristi Noem claimed that ICE has not detained or arrested any US citizens. This isn't true.

The reality is that at least 170 citizens have been held by immigration agents, including two kids with cancer.

The U.S. is set to be in the fairly unusual position of having only a single aircraft carrier deployed and none in the waters off both Europe and the Middle East. The change is especially stark after the U.S. joined Israeli strikes on Iran in June and has engaged in some of the most intense combat operations since World War II against Yemen's Houthi rebels in the Red Sea.

🤦 Trump just sent the only deployed US carrier to South America to blow up fishing boats during a fragile Israel‑Hamas cease‑fire. This leaves the Middle East and Europe with no carrier presence, raising serious security concerns. Eleventy-seventh level strategery. abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...
