Thanedar Withdraws Trump Impeachment Effort | JQJO

Democratic Rep. Shri Thanedar withdrew his impeachment resolution against Donald Trump after several Democrats indicated they would side with Republicans to block it. Thanedar cited pressure from colleagues and the need to add to his impeachment articles. While he accused Trump of further impeachable offenses, his attempt was seen by some as a political maneuver for his 2026 reelection campaign, given his underwhelming primary performance and facing two challengers. He left open the possibility of a future vote.

A Russian Geran‑3 drone struck the central park of Nova Vodolaha in Kharkiv Oblast on October nineteenth, killing six people, including two children aged eight and one, and injuring at least fifteen. Interior Minister Ivan Vyhivskyi said the attack made no military sense, while President Volodymyr Zelensky called it an "absolute atrocity" and urged that sanctions against Russia remain in place until such killings cease. Prosecutors have opened a pre‑trial investigation into a possible war crime.

Jon Stewart will remain the host of Comedy Central’s "The Daily Show" through December two thousand and twenty‑eight, extending his once‑a‑week role through the next presidential election. Skydance announced the two‑year extension on Monday, resolving uncertainty about Stewart’s contract, which was due to expire in December. The new deal means one of television’s most prominent critics of President Donald Trump is staying in place for the rest of Trump’s term. Stewart will continue hosting on Monday nights, an arrangement in place since January two thousand and twenty‑four, and serving as executive producer of the series. The agreement is Stewart’s longest extension since returning to the program, following two successive one‑year renewals.

The author, a professor in Zurich and a Swiss militia helicopter pilot, explains a recent silence as a result of teaching duties and annual flight training. He describes his responsibilities as a captain, noting the need for a minimum of fifty hours of training each year. The writer also shares personal reflections, mentioning his family—Jocelyne, the children, Gino, Tsigane, and Safira—and his commitment to Switzerland’s defense. He criticises the U.S. president’s actions, describing them as “cowardice” that erodes America’s credibility. Finally, he turns to astronomy, noting that the Magellanic Clouds are two galaxies visible to the naked eye from the southern hemisphere and that they have never been visited by the author.

Fitzpatrick will have another chance to evaluate Nix before the Steelers matchup on Black Friday.

A Purdue University team that searched for Amelia Earhart’s missing Lockheed Electra 10‑E on the remote Pacific island of Nikumaroro has reported a setback. The expedition, which focused on the Taraia Object—a visual anomaly first spotted in satellite imagery in 2020—found no conclusive evidence that the object was aircraft wreckage. Instead, the team concluded the anomaly was likely a collection of large trees deposited along the peninsula’s sandspit. By the time the team arrived, much of the debris had fragmented and washed away, leaving only a single Y‑shaped fragment. The fragment’s reflective surface was caused by a carbonate veneer, and other items found were coated with a shiny concretized amalgam of coral sand. Despite the disappointment, the expedition uncovered several artifacts, including a 30‑inch steel tube, that could help study how debris travels through the lagoon. The team remains hopeful that Earhart may have ended up on Nikumaroro, but no artifacts were conclusively linked to the missing aircraft.

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other alleged 9/11 plotters seeking to enforce a plea deal. The men had agreed to life sentences in a 2024 deal signed by a military commission judge. Days later, then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin rejected the proposal, claiming authority to override it. Military courts said Austin had no such power, and an August ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit favored the government. The Supreme Court’s decision removes a barrier to Mohammed’s trial before a military commission in 2028, where the death penalty is possible. Mohammed has been held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, since 2006.
