Of the counter-terrorism work performed by Britain’s domestic intelligence agency MI5, three-quarters are “Islamic extremist”, the agency director said in a public threat briefing. The UK Security Service, best known as MI5, has worked with police to foil 43 “late-stage attack plots” since 2017, agency director Ken McCallum said on Tuesday. Making a rare public address, the top spy headlined his comments with remarks about counterterrorism work, but this important facet of intelligence work was roundly ignored by UK news headlines overnight, which focussed heavily instead on his comments on the “fevered imagination of Putin’s regime” and its efforts to “generate…

Vice President Kamala Harris had a beer with Late Show host Stephen Colbert on Tuesday evening. Meanwhile, inflation has soared under her watch, leaving Americans paying 16 percent more for beer than they did when Trump was in office.

The House approved a bill Wednesday night to prevent a government shutdown, punting a slew of tough spending fights to the end of the year. Speaker Mike Johnson once again relied heavily on Democrats to pass the measure, which would leave federal agencies with static budgets through Dec. 20, provide the embattled Secret Service with an additional $231 million and allow FEMA’s disaster relief fund to scrape by through hurricane season. The Senate is expected to pass the nearly three-month spending patch later Wednesday night, with members eager to leave Washington and campaign ahead of the Nov. 5 election. The…
The Democratic National Committee is sending money to every state Democratic party in the country for the first time in its history to bolster down-ballot races in the final sprint toward November.

Fact-checkers have found thousands of falsehoods he has asserted about many issues, including the state of the economy, the threats posed by immigrants and his achievements as president.For example, he claimed falsely in his Sept. 10 debate with Vice President Kamala Harris that he had “saved” the Affordable Care Act when he was president, even though he spent most of his term in office trying to repeal the program, widely known as Obamacare. He continues to falsely claim the 2020 election was stolen. He regularly makes remarks that…
