Tucker Carlson, a former political chat host on CNN and Fox News, has claimed that he was attacked and “physically mauled” by a demon while he was asleep, leaving him with scars and bleeding from “claw marks.” He made the claim during an interview for a documentary and said that the experience led him to start reading the Bible.

He was dismissed from Fox News after the company settled a lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems over false election-related statements and conspiracy theories. He has since been campaigning for former President Donald Trump.

A video purported to depict voter fraud in Georgia has been debunked as fake and stated to be the product of “Russian influence actors” by U.S. intelligence officials. They warned that attempts to undermine the upcoming elections may persist, with Russia expected to create and release further media content that looks to undermine trust in the integrity of the U.S. electoral system. The video, developed by Russian disinformation network Storm-1516 (aka CopyCop), claimed to show a Haitian immigrant intending to vote multiple times using several fake Georgia IDs. The original video has since been taken offline but versions continue to be shared. Intelligence chiefs announced that another manufactured video falsely accusing someone associated with the Democratic candidate of taking a bribe from a U.S. performer has also been attributed to Russia.

A US official has reportedly requested Lebanon to unilaterally declare a ceasefire with Israel with the hope of reviving stagnated talks between Israel and Hezbollah, according to a senior Lebanese political source and a senior diplomat. The US, however, denied this claim, stating it is working with both parties towards a ceasefire. Lebanon also denied the claim, expressing their intentions were to seek a mutual ceasefire in accordance with the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701, which terminated the previous conflict between these opponents in 2006. Lebanon’s response towards a ceasefire would require the support from Hezbollah, whose allies and members dominate Lebanon’s governmental and parliamentary seats. There is a popular view in Lebanon that a one-sided declaration could potentially be seen as a surrender to Israel.

Southwest District Health in Idaho has ceased providing the public with COVID-19 vaccines following a board ruling. The board decision is unprecedented, marking the first time a US health department has been stopped from administering the vaccines. Motivated by declining vaccine demand in the district, the board’s decision has come despite the medical director’s testimony to the vaccines’ necessity. Many critics of the decision say it’s left vulnerable populations, such as homeless people and long term care facility residents, without vaccination options. Board chairman Kelly Aberasturi intends to bring up the issue at the next board meeting to ensure these vulnerable groups can access the vaccine.

Allegations of sexual abuse by correctional staff in prisons across the US have surged in recent years, with guards allegedly using work tasks to lure female inmates to isolated areas. Despite hundreds of reports, those accused often face minimal or no reprisal. Attorney Michael Woelfel, who has helped settle 127 abuse cases in West Virginia, claims cries for justice often fall on deaf ears due to societal attitudes towards female criminals. Laws vary drastically between states, and in some places accused parties can’t be criminally charged if they’ve been compelled to speak about their actions. Furthermore, guards accused of misconduct can often retire, resign, or move facilities before investigations are completed.
