Republicans appear to have all but abandoned their efforts to defeat a Democratic gerrymander of California’s House districts one week before it goes before voters.

As Democrats pummel the state with Yes on 50 advertising, the Republican side of the battle has gone quiet.

Russian sources published footage they claim shows a Ukrainian FP-5 Flamingo missile flying over Moscow Oblast.

During the 27 October attack, some Russian sources insisted that all “jet-powered targets” — allegedly Flamingos — were downed.

NASA's fire detection system notes multiple new hotspots near Ramenskoe, south-east of Moscow.

These are very near Zhukovsky airport, which had to close overnight. But some say a "Testing airfield" was hit. I can't verify that; the fires could be from debris, but I'll monitor.
