 According to The New York Times, President Donald Trump personally told his budget director to find taxpayer money for TV ads praising him. That led to a $20 million contract paid for with Homeland Security funds. Trump was "eager to see the laudatory ads on the air," so he directed Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought to come up with the money from within the government, the Times reported Friday, citing 12 people familiar with the matter. On Sept. 19, OMB moved $20 million in Customs and Border Protection money into a budget category called "One Big Beautiful Bill Commemorative Events." The Times reported that the idea took shape at an Aug. 7 Oval Office meeting. Trump was supposed to approve super PAC spending for midterm candidates. Instead, he reportedly had an aide pull up videos of himself on her tablet, including Trump with fighter jets flying overhead. At least four ads have aired so far, at a cost of about $5.5 million. In one, images of T...

The attack came hours after German Chancelor Friedrich Merz arrived in Kyiv on an unannounced visit to pledge further support.   The strikes have also targeted the Pivdennyi (Southern) Bridge repeatedly since Oct. 1-2, forcing full or partial closures of three of Kyiv's six road bridges and causing major traffic jams. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said the bridges are structurally intact but the damage has cut hot water to parts of the Desnyanskyi district and severely restricted metro and road traffic, with about 500,000 vehicles using th...
