Two helicopters collided midair at Everest Bas Camp on Tuesday morning, killing one person and injuring two others, officials said.

It’s Election Day in America, with voters heading to the polls to determine control of the U.S. House and Senate for the next two years.Republicans are defending their slim congressional majorities, but President Donald Trump predicts the GOP will hold the House and Senate for the final two years of his presidency.”We’re going to win and let’s make the next two years bigger and better and stronger than ever before,” Trump told supporters Sunday night at a rally in Kansas.But Republicans are fighting political history, as the party in power in Washington has traditionally lost seats during midterm election years. The GOP also faces a challenging political climate fueled by persistent inflation tied in part to what polls show is an unpopular war with Iran and Trump’s increasingly negative approval ratings.DEMOCRACY 2026: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUBThe GOP is also facing a potential turnout deficit, with public opinion polls indicating Democrats are more energized than Republicans to cast ballots in the midterms.Early voting in the midterms has shattered previous records, with more than 54 million people already casting ballots, according to the Associated Press. That’s nearly nine million more ballots cast in early voting than in 2022, the previous midterm elections.With early voting traditionally favoring Democrats, Republican National Committee Chair Joe Gruters, pointing to Election Day turnout, recently told Fox News Digital, “If our voters turn out, we win.”SIGN UP TO GET THE POLITICS NEWSLETTERThe political climate has the GOP playing plenty of defense on the campaign trail, as the president tries to energize the GOP base.Trump’s event in red-leaning Kansas, which he touted as his 30th rally over the past month, came hours after the Fox News Power Rankings shifted the state’s Senate race from Lean Republican to Toss-up. Democratic pastor Adam Hamilton, who is challenging GOP Sen. Roger Marshall, is aiming to become the first Democrat in nearly a century to win a Senate election in Kansas.The Fox News Power Rankings, as well as many of the leading nonpartisan political handicappers, point to Democrats retaking control of the House, with the majority in the Senate a toss-up heading into Election Day.”Think of what is possible tomorrow: Democrats can flip the House, take back the Senate, and stop Trump’s harmful agenda,” Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin spotlighted, in an Election Eve social media post.Also up for grabs in this year’s elections — governorships in 36 of the 50 states. Plus, all but four states are holding legislative elections. And voters will also weigh in on 145 statewide ballot measures in states from coast to coast.The big question with Election Day upon us — have the public opinion polls that point to a potential blue wave undercounted Republican voters?LEAVITT SAYS TRUMP DEFYING MIDTERM HEADWINDS AS HE BARNSTORMS COUNTRYWe’ll find out in the coming hours.Until then, here’s a closer look at what’s up for grabs on Election Day 2026.Republicans currently control the chamber 53-47, which means Democrats need a net gain of four seats to win back the majority. The GOP needs to hold at least 50 seats to retain control of the chamber, since Republican Vice President JD Vance is the tie-breaking vote in the Senate.Besides Kansas, Republicans are also playing defense in Alaska, Iowa, Maine, Nebraska, Ohio, South Carolina and Texas, which are all rated toss-ups in the Power Rankings. They’re also defending seats in competitive races in Kansas, which is rated Lean Republican, and Ohio, which is rated Lean Democrat.Democrats are on defense in Michigan, Minnesota and New Hampshire.The GOP is hanging on to a razor-thin majority in the House, with Democrats needing a net gain of just three seats to reach 218, which would hand them the majority.A good night for the Democrats could see them ending up with as many as 240 seats in the 435-seat chamber, according to the Power Rankings. But if Republicans have a good night, they could end up with 212 seats. That’s six short of a majority, but enough to make life difficult for the next Democratic House speaker, who would have to balance the demands of the moderate and far-left wings of the party.The earliest-closing districts on election night will give some sense of the House’s future.”Keep an eye on Kentucky’s 6th District, which covers Lexington and a large central area of the state. Trump won here by 15 points in the last presidential election. Thanks to a combination of left-leaning college voters and farmers grappling with higher costs, it looks close this cycle,” Remy Numa, a Fox News contributor who steers the network’s Power Rankings, said.There are currently 26 Republican and 24 Democratic governors.The Power Rankings list three states where the GOP controls the governor’s office – Alaska, Nevada and Georgia – as toss-ups. Wisconsin, which has an open Democratic-controlled governor’s office, is also rated a toss-up.The gubernatorial races in red states Florida, Kansas and Texas are rated Lean Republican, according to the Power Rankings. Meanwhile, the showdowns in Arizona, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio and Oregon are rated Lean Democrat.Referendums requiring voters to present identification when they show up at the polls, or bans on noncitizen voting, are on the ballot in 11 states: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Kansas, Nevada, North Carolina, Ohio, South Dakota and West Virginia.Voters in Alaska will also decide if they want to repeal the state’s ranked choice voting system, open primaries and a campaign finance disclosure rule. Voters approved the current system in 2020 and narrowly kept it in 2024.But the voting system has come under fresh scrutiny amid the controversy over a potential spoiler candidate in Alaska’s U.S. Senate race.Voters in Virginia will decide whether the right to vote should be restored to convicted felons upon their release.California’s Proposition 40 is making national headlines.The measure, the first of its kind, would slap a one-time 5% tax on wealth for Californians worth over $1 billion, with the vast majority of the revenue generated going to pay for healthcare.Also in the spotlight is a millionaires’ tax in Washington state. If passed, the referendum would repeal a 9.9% tax on income over $1 million a year, which state lawmakers recently approved. Washington state currently does not have a personal income tax.Voters in Maryland, Missouri and Colorado weigh in on ballot measures on congressional redistricting, as the mid-decade redistricting fight between Democrats and Republicans will be waged again in 2028.Arizona, Colorado, Nebraska and Washington state have referendums on transgender students’ participation in sports. Colorado also has a referendum on blocking gender transition surgeries for minors and preventing state or federal funding from being used for those operations.Voters in Missouri weigh in on repealing a right to abortion and banning gender transition medical care for children. Meanwhile, an Idaho initiative would overturn one of the nation’s strictest abortion bans, while Virginia and Nevada voters decide on establishing a right to abortion in their state constitutions.California, Colorado and Arizona hold ballot measures on policy around energy, transportation and development.The first poll closings come at 6 p.m. ET, with the final poll closings happening at 1 a.m. ET.6 p.m. ET: Polls close in parts of Kentucky and Indiana.7 p.m. ET: Polls close in Georgia, South Carolina, Vermont and Virginia.

Europe Under Attack? Far-Left Sabotage UK Military Satellite Equipment Supply Chain

Europe faces growing national security risks from violent far-left groups seeking to destroy capitalism and the continent amid weeks of riots, looting and unrest in France and elsewhere.The chaos has not yet stopped. There was looting and violence in Germany over the weekend and ongoing unrest in France.An evolution of the revolution may have emerged overnight, as far-left activists reportedly broke into a defense manufacturer’s facility in the UK and destroyed military satellite communications equipment.Palestine Action knockoff “People Against Genocide” apparently broke into Ultra Intelligence & Communications’ manufacturing facility in Tring, Hertfordshire.Video shows these revolutionaries taking sledgehammers to portable satellite terminals that were in production. The Cradle says these terminals were “destined for Israel,” but there is no confirmation of that.”The action was timed to mark the 109th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, which paved the way for the colonization of Palestine,” the outlet said.VIDEO | Activists from People Against Genocide broke into Ultra I&C’s Hertfordshire arms facility in the UK earlier today, destroying military satellite equipment destined for Israel.The action was timed to mark the 109th anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, which paved the… pic.twitter.com/tlNvqlrfhC— The Cradle (@TheCradleMedia) November 2, 2026
Three people were arrested after Monday’s break-in, the group’s second raid on the same Tring facility this year. PAG activists broke in on July 9, allegedly causing more than £1 million in damage.The incident raises serious questions about European elites losing control of their continent as far-left militant networks have accelerated a timeline of chaos and destruction. The communist revolt appears to be evolving toward attacks on critical supply chains.Earlier this year, Canary Mission warned that Palestine Action created a “Target Map” for its revolutionaries to target Israeli defense-linked supply chains across Europe and North America.At the center of the controversy is a public “Target Map” shared online.The map reportedly identifies: • companies • suppliers • warehouses • offices • and in some cases, private addresses tied to individuals connected to targeted firmsPublishing this information…— Canary Mission (@canarymission) May 21, 2026
Let’s remind readers that Palestine Action’s US offshoot, Palestine Action US (since renamed Unity of Fields), was co-founded by Calla Mairead Walsh, who once volunteered on campaigns for lefty US politicians, including Ed Markey, Elizabeth Warren and Michelle Wu. The left certainly knows how to foster extremists hell-bent on destroying the West.

Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, on Tuesday rejected U.S. findings linking Pyongyang to the theft of a record $6.3 billion in cryptocurrency.

A federal appeals court late Monday vacated an earlier ruling that had allowed the Trump administration to threaten election workers with prosecution if they refused to set aside ballots the federal government suspected

Israel Intentionally Released Footage Of Mossad Operatives In Iran To Provoke Mass Arrests

Via Middle East EyeFormer Mossad chief David Barnea has said Israel intentionally released images of their covert operation in Iran during the June 2025 conflict to provoke mass arrests and make it harder for Iranian forces to find real Israeli agents.”One of the reasons we immediately released an official video on the morning of Operation Rising Lion, with the Mossad logo, was to protect the agents who were there,” Barnea said, according to comments The Jerusalem Post reported on 25 October.

Barnea said the leak of the footage of Israeli operations in Iran was not just an attempt to showcase the Mossad’s reach but also a strategy to overwhelm Iranian counterintelligence, causing them to make mass arrests, making it more difficult to distinguish operatives from ordinary citizens.“We wanted to make sure they arrested so many people in Iran that they wouldn’t be able to distinguish the wheat from the chaff and would eventually release everyone,” he said.Barnea said Iranian authorities arrested 21,000 people during the operation. “You have to imagine that when you arrest 21,000 people, even if you’ve caught an agent or two, eventually you have to release them because everyone’s story will be the same: I was walking down the street, I was driving a car, they arrested me,” he said.Barnea added that many people arrested or executed on accusations of working for Israel had no connection to the Mossad.“Some of the people being hanged in Iran on accusations of being Mossad agents, I have to ask who they are,” he said. “They tell me, ‘Listen, we don’t know either.’”He described some of those executed as “just unfortunate people whom they decided were our agents, but who never worked for the Mossad, and probably never worked for any other intelligence organisation either”, according to the report.The remarks made at the Priority Summit on October 22 to a private audience have sparked a sharp response from Trita Parsi. Parsi, executive vice-president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, described it as an admission that Israel “used ordinary Iranians as tools to protect Mossad operatives” in the country.“Rarely will you find a more crude admission of how Israel deliberately and carelessly put thousands of people it claimed it sought to liberate in harm’s way,” Parsi wrote on X.Mass detentionsIsrael launched Operation Rising Lion on June 13, 2025, during which they bombed Iran and killed senior military commanders as well as scientists.After Iran retaliated with missile attacks on Israel, the 12-day war ended with a ceasefire. On the first morning of the attacks, the Mossad released videos showing what it said were its agents operating inside Iran.The footage included attacks on ballistic missile and air-defence targets, with the faces of those involved concealed. Iranian police announced in August 2025 that they had detained about 21,000 people during the 12-day conflict.Former Mossad chief David Barnea (Dadi) explained at a conference why the agency released footage of its operatives working inside Iran during Israel’s 12-day campaign against Iran in 2025.The footage released at the time was, without exaggeration, unprecedented: Mossad does… pic.twitter.com/5LBUJXivb1— Yigal Levin (@YigalLevin) October 25, 2026
Police spokesperson Saeed Montazer al-Mahdi said the arrests followed reports from members of the public and increased security measures. More than 260 suspects were arrested on suspicion of espionage and 172 people were arrested for illegal filming, the police statement said.Barnea’s comments come amid concerns over Iran’s use of espionage allegations to prosecute people following the conflict.Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch said in September 2025 that Iranian authorities had arrested more than 20,000 people after the outbreak of hostilities with Israel. Those targeted included journalists, human rights activists, social media users, members of ethnic and religious minorities, and foreigners.Iranian authorities have said they were responding to genuine threats from Israeli intelligence and collaborators inside the country. Tehran has repeatedly accused the Mossad of recruiting people to gather intelligence, carry out sabotage and assist military attacks.
