Residents along the Budhi Gandaki river in north central Nepal evacuated on Sunday as flash flooding destroyed homes and other structures in the area.
The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority evacuated villagers and warned others to move to safer areas while remaining on alert until late Sunday.
The agency said at least five people are reported missing so far. The flash flood also damaged or destroyed four bridges, swept away about three dozen houses and damaged the construction site of a hydropower plant.
Several power and communication towers were also damaged along the riverside.
Nepal’s army said in a statement that it was continuing to rescue stranded people using helicopters and ground troops. They had rescued 49 people by Sunday afternoon.
In August a massive flood was triggered after a glacier collapsed near Langtang Lirung along the Nepal-China border.
More than 1,500 people died and 5,000 people remain missing after the avalanche led to a flash flood of water and debris.
The flood damaged more than 7,500 homes and displaced tens of thousands of residents.
RINO Senator Thom Tillis (NC) on Sunday lost it over the Trump Administration’s plans to live stream the execution of Fort Hood jihadist mass shooter Nidal Malik Hasan on December 3rd, arguing it’s one reason why War Secretary Pete Hegseth should not be in the cabinet.
Hegseth, he said, “needs to get the hell out of the Department of Defense.”
Hegseth announced last week that the execution of convicted Fort Hood Islamist terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan will be public, with American soldiers carrying out the firing squad at the very military installation where Hasan murdered 13 people and wounded 32 others in 2009.
“An Army major betrays his country, radical Islamist, kills a bunch of Americans at Fort Hood. Of course, we’re gonna do it at Fort Hood. We’re gonna do it on a Thursday. We’re gonna do it at 1 o’clock, which is when he did it,” Hegseth said. “We’ll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it’s public, because people need to understand that there’s serious consequences for these types of things.”
However, Tillis decried Hegseth, ridiculously claiming that the execution is “another example of where U.S. lives, American lives, will be put at risk.”
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Tilis went on an unhinged rant earlier in the interview, claiming that Trump’s deal with Russia to buy diesel fuel will also put American lives at risk. He’s just attacking everything Trump to sell his book.
“Terrorist organizations will use this as a recruiting tool. It will radicalize other people,” he argued. “And this is not who we are. Look, the Fort Hood shooter should be put to death, but there is a — there’s a way to deal with this that’s proper, and there’s a way to deal with this that’s more improper than I have ever observed in my life.”
He then whined about Hegseth, saying, “This is not who we are, and it’s another example of why Pete Hegseth and all of his bravado needs to get the hell out of the Department of Defense, because he is a failed leader, and we need strong leadership supporting President Trump right now.”
Asked to expand on his criticisms of Hegseth and whether he regrets voting to confirm him, Tillis teased his book again, bragged about “supporting presidents’ cabinet picks dating all the way back to Obama,” and then purported to care only about President Trump’s legacy.
“I probably was a little subtle in my book — I dedicate a whole chapter to my biggest regret, so I think it’s pretty clear that I regret that decision,” he said.
“I made a mistake. I’ve admitted that I made a mistake, and now I want to try and put somebody in place that will help the president’s legacy and make Americans safer. And that is not Pete Hegseth.”
WATCH:
Trump recently spoke about the plans to live stream the execution, saying, “they want to do that because they want to set an example. I wasn’t involved in that decision, but I understand the decision.”
“He went in and killed 14 people; he badly, badly wounded 22 people — walked into a room, just started firing at everybody, screaming things that he shouldn’t be screaming. I guess they want to have it serve as an example, and I understand that very well,” he added.

On Sunday morning, it was revealed that Talarico may have had a mental health crisis and was holed up at the Lindner Center of HOPE in Ohio.
In a phone call placed by political strategist Rhein Amacher and independent journalist Nick Sortor to the Lindner Center, an employee allegedly confirms that Talarico had been “just discharged” from the facility on Saturday. He was seemingly discharged the day before, on Friday, but his discharge was likely not processed or finalized immediately. She did, however, confirm that he was at the facility.
Lindner Center HOPE released a statement on Sunday evening and said Talarico has never received treatment from the facility.
Representative James Talarico has never received treatment from Lindner Center of Hope.
Later Sunday, Talarico changed his story about his doctor visit during an interview with MSNOW.
Talarico previously said he visited an urgent care in Dallas. On Sunday, he told MS NOW that he visited his primary care physician, presumably near his home in Austin.
On Sunday evening, during an appearance on Fox News, Ken Paxton called Talarico a liar.
The big story is 2 weeks is a long time to be away with the flu, and it’s just a very strange time to disappear,” Paxton said.
“He spent this entire campaign lying about his positions, all those things that you heard him say about boys and girls sports, which he’s voted for twice, voting for transitioning kids, voting for state income tax, voting not to secure the border and work with law enforcement….” Paxton said.
Paxton also said that Talarico just doesn’t have the strength to serve as a US senator.
“I don’t know whether to believe him about the flu or not, I just know that almost everything he says has been false about the campaign,” he said.
“He’s not strong enough… he’s not capable…the only thing he’s capable is lying to the voters,” Paxton said.
A Biden-appointed judge has ruled that the Trump Administration must cease the production and airing of government-funded advertisements ahead of the midterms.
In other words, Trump can no longer promote the United States of America or his administration in government-funded ads.
The Department of Homeland Security told the court last night that there were “no plans” to air additional ads, while asking the judge to reject the request by progressive groups for an emergency order to block the ads.
Still, U.S. District Judge Jennifer Rochon ordered the Trump Administration to stop using DHS funds to create or disseminate the ads and to cancel any upcoming ad slots for a two-week duration as court proceedings continue.
The ads, which came under fire last week, feature Trump’s statements about draining the swamp, ridding the government of Communists, and liberating America “from these villains once and for all.” The White House has described the campaign as “educational and unapologetically patriotic” public service announcements, aimed at “reminding Americans to love their country and understand what makes it worth defending, at home, at our borders, and abroad.”
“This is the final battle. With you at my side. We will demolish the deep state. We will expel the war mongers from our government. We will drive out the globalists, we will cast out the Communists, Marxists, and Fascists. We will throw off the sick political class that hates our country. We will rout the fake news media, and we will liberate America from these villains once and for all,” Trump says in one of the ads.
At the end of the ad, a disclaimer reads: “Paid for by the U.S. Government.”
WATCH:
Previously, Trump said that he would “gladly” pay for the ads himself.
“Well, I’m not running for office, first of all, and so the ads are, you know, given by me, but I’m not running for office, and I don’t talk about anybody,” he told reporters last month in the Oval Office.
“If I was talking about Dan Sullivan, if I was talking about anybody behind me that’s a politician like Nick, if I read that’s a political ad. But when I’m talking about making America great, making our country great, that’s a countrywide ad. That’s an ad for the spirit of our country.”
“Now, if somebody said that that’s wrong, I’ll gladly pay the money, but these are ads for the country. These aren’t ads — I’m not promoting, you have to understand, I’m not promoting a candidate. I’m not promoting myself because I’m not running for office. I’m promoting the country,” he added.
WATCH:
Trump then announced last week that he planned to start paying for the ads with his own money and money from his super PAC MAGA Inc., despite the commercials not being campaign advertisements.
Two parents were allegedly stabbed to death by their son in their north side home Sunday afternoon, according to police.
According to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, just before 12:30 p.m., officers responded to the 2700 block of Lakeshire Lane, located near West 96th Street and Township Line Road, on the report of a person stabbed.
Arriving officers found a man and a woman who had trauma wounds and had been stabbed.
Police say the woman was pronounced dead at the scene, and the man was taken to the hospital in critical condition, where he died shortly after arriving.
When ambiguity collides with a sacred date, neutrality evaporates; in a campus climate already primed by years of fights over antisemitism and protest, a single menu line can detonate into a reputational crisis.
The Short Version
A dining-hall menu at Columbia University displayed “October 7th Blush Sauce” on the anniversary of the Hamas attacks, triggering rapid backlash.
Columbia Dining called it a template error, removed the signs, apologized, and pledged added review before future postings.
Evidence supports the listing’s existence and the controversy, but not an intentional political reference.
The episode shows how campus incidents are now read through an antisemitism lens and hardened by social media velocity.
What actually happened: a specific listing, a charged date, and a fast-moving backlash
At Columbia’s John Jay Dining Hall, signage and a menu posting included the phrase “October 7th Blush Sauce,” which stood out because other sauces carried ordinary labels. The timing—on the anniversary of the Hamas attacks—made the wording instantly salient and, to many, provocative. The listing circulated via a screenshot-style post on social media and was then amplified by outlets that framed the reaction as outrage, with critics reading the phrase as a symbolic reference to victims of the attacks. The university’s dining arm responded quickly: the signs were taken down, an apology issued, and an explanation offered that the date had been inadvertently left in when a scheduled sauce entry was copied into a template.
Two things can be true at once. First, the phrase appeared, was unique on the menu, and angered people who interpreted it through the day’s tragic associations. Second, the record available to the public stops at a plausible operational error and does not substantiate intentional messaging. Columbia’s explanation aligns with a garden-variety workflow mistake: a scheduled item, a templated field, and a missed delete on the date string.
Mechanism: how a mundane template error becomes a reputational event
Large campus dining operations run on production calendars and menu-planning software. Scheduled items are repeated and ported into daily layouts; last-mile reviews are the human backstops that catch oddities before they go live. When those checks fail, artifacts creep into public view—stray dates, placeholder text, internal abbreviations. The Columbia case fits that pattern as described by the institution: a standard sauce with a common culinary name—blush, the tomato–cream “pink” or rosé style—paired with an accidentally retained date field. That alone would be banal but for the date. In crisis mechanics, context is a multiplier. On October 7, the same string reads not as clerical detritus but as code.
Once a photo of the signage landed on X, the incident moved into a familiar cycle. The first frame wins; later clarifications struggle to overtake initial interpretations. News write-ups repeated both the image and the university’s correction, but the emotional charge of the date tilted the discourse toward intent—even absent corroborating evidence of deliberation or animus.
Evidence and its limits: what the public record does and does not show
The strongest facts are straightforward: signage with “October 7th Blush Sauce” existed; other sauces were not labeled with the date; the timing was the anniversary; and Columbia Dining apologized, called it a mistake, and removed the signs. These points are documented across multiple outlets and in the university’s own statement. What is not publicly established is motive: no published metadata from the menu system, no version history, no named staff testimony linking the phrasing to an intentional reference. The institutional narrative is consistent—template error—and no on-record evidence has surfaced that refutes it with specifics (e.g., internal messages or directives).
In rigorous terms, the available evidence supports insensitivity by effect, not intentionality by design. The absence of a demonstrated workflow chain leaves room for suspicion, but suspicion is not proof. Responsible assessment rests where the documentary trail does: a real posting, real offense taken, and a plausible operational failure as the cause.
Columbia University says that the menu item pritned as “October 7 blush sauce” was a mistake and did not have reference to October 7.
Why it landed so hard at Columbia: prior controversies and a primed audience
Context conditions interpretation. Columbia has been a focal point in national arguments over campus antisemitism and pro-Palestinian protest since 2023. That history creates a confirmation-bias trap: ambiguous stimuli—posters, chants, or, here, a date appended to a menu item—are more likely to be read as part of a hostile pattern. Federal scrutiny and donor activism have further raised the stakes for any perceived lapse, incentivizing rapid, sometimes maximalist readings of institutional behavior. In that environment, even small operational errors can function as proxies for much larger debates about campus culture and safety for Jewish students.
What competent institutions do next: process, transparency, and velocity control
Three disciplines mitigate these spirals. First, preemptive process: require a second-person review for all public-facing campus communications that intersect with high-salience dates or topics. Columbia says it will add a review step to menus; that is a minimal baseline, not a high bar. Second, selective transparency: when intent is disputed and trust is thin, publishing a redacted version history or audit log—fields edited, timestamps, approver IDs—can stabilize the narrative without compromising staff privacy. Universities already log this data; using it judiciously builds credibility. Third, velocity control: designate a cross-functional response cell (dining, student affairs, communications, counsel) with pre-cleared language and escalation paths so clarifications land while the first frame is still forming, not hours later when outrage has ossified.
Reading incidents like this wisely: a practical lens for stakeholders
For students and alumni, a simple rubric helps. Ask first what is documented, not what is inferred: here, the listing and the date are facts; intent is not. Next, weigh the competing explanations; a templating slip that was corrected quickly is consistent with common operational failure modes in large service units. Finally, separate harm from motive. Harm, even when unintended, warrants apology and remedial process. But escalating to accusations of deliberate glorification requires evidence crossing a higher bar—named actors, artifact trails, or directives. In the present case, that threshold is not met in the public record.
The broader pattern will outlast this menu
This episode will fade, but its structure will recur: a charged date or symbol, an ambiguous artifact, social amplification, and polarized interpretations hardened before facts mature. The remedy is not to wish away symbolism, which matters deeply to people, but to improve institutional hygiene—better review, faster factual disclosures, and decision logs strong enough to earn trust when emotions are at their peak. Until then, single lines on a menu will keep standing in for arguments much larger than lunch.
James Talarico’s first interview after emerging from mysterious absence
Texas Democratic Senate Nominee James Talarico broke his silence on his two-week hiatus this afternoon in interviews with NBC and MS Now, swearing that he “just had the flu” as claims that he was suffering a mental health episode continue to circulate.
The Gateway Pundit reported earlier on allegations that Talarico was admitted to a mental institution in Ohio during his mysterious absence. An employee at the Lindner Center of HOPE in Mason, Ohio, allegedly confirmed on Saturday during a recorded phone call that Talarico had been “just discharged” from the facility. However, Talarico’s team denied the claim, saying “Talarico was home in Austin, Texas recovering from the flu.”
Talarico previously claimed, from a hotel room somewhere, that he had been diagnosed with a flu so bad that he went to an urgent care in Dallas during a virtual appearance at a United States Hispanic Business Council forum on September 30.
“I was starting to feel kind of under the weather a few days ago, and last night it got so bad that I went to the urgent care here in Dallas,” he said. “And I was diagnosed with the flu, and so uh I’m running a fever, and I’m my most contagious uh right now.”
Now, he’s changed his story, saying, “I just went to my primary care physician, but it wasn’t anything worse than, you know, a nasty case of the flu.” So, was it urgent care in Dallas or a primary care physician at his home in Austin?
When asked by Dallas-Fort Worth-based NBC reporter Phil Prazan to explain his absence, Talarico said, “Yeah, I got the flu, and I’m feeling much better, and I’m glad I had a chance to recover.”
“That’s not true,” he said of the claim that he was in a mental hospital. “I just had the flu, and I feel much better. But it’s a good reminder that you can’t believe everything you read on the internet.”
Talarico further maintained that he’s ready to debate Republican Senate Nominee Ken Paxton and called on Paxton to meet him on a stage. “You know, I’ve heard rumors that he has a rare medical condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice. So, I know Ken Paxton has asked for proof of life for me; I’m asking for proof of spine from him,” he said.
He also used the same pre-rehearsed lines in an interview with MS Now’s Rosa Flores this afternoon.
“I had the flu. This is the craziest thing I’ve ever heard. It’s wild that someone can just put something on the internet and then the media just runs with it,” he said. “You know, I’ve heard credible reports that Paxton has a serious medical condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice… He has asked for proof of life from me; I’m asking for proof of spine from him.”
In the latest stop on a promotion tour for his new book, How to Lose Friends and Antagonize Presidents, RINO Senator Thom Tillis (NC) went on another anti-Trump tirade for 12 minutes on NBC this morning, taking aim at Trump’s foreign policy.
Tillis can’t help but root against Trump.
Today, it was Trump’s agreement to import diesel fuel from Russia, which he announced on Friday after speaking with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“I completely reject it,” Tillis said, describing the ongoing conflict as “an illegal war that was initiated by the despot that we know as Vladimir Putin.”
“Look, I was over in Ukraine a couple of weeks ago with a couple of my colleagues. We went to Kharkiv. We heard stories of systematic kidnap and relocation of children, rape of women and daughters in the presence of their husband before they were executed,” he claimed.
“If President Trump wants to end the strain of energy supplies, number one, get things right in Iran, and number two, recognize that it was Vladimir Putin, not Zelensky, that started this war, and it’s Vladimir Putin who owns the responsibility for energy prices to the extent that they come from that part of the world.”
He further accused Trump of “tarnishing Lindsey Graham’s efforts to try and get the sanctions bill through.”
Asked whether he thinks Trump’s waiver of sanctions violates the law, Tillis said he will be putting out a statement with New Hampshire Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen to pressure Trump into reversing the deal, claiming it has “deadly consequences.”
“I do believe there’s a legitimate case for saying the president’s not following the law,” he said, calling on Russia to end the war by “backing out” of all territory they’ve occupied since the beginning.
Asked if the deal will put American lives at risk, Tillis said, “it absolutely will. My goodness!” while highlighting Putin’s “cozy relationship” with Iran over the years.
“I will guarantee you at the first opportunity Putin has to embarrass or undermine President Trump, he will,” he added.
Russia reportedly attacked a Ukrainian power plant on Sunday, hours after President Trump announced an energy ceasefire.
As The Gateway Pundit reported earlier, Trump announced a ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia, which Zelensky said he supports.
“Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine. Both parties have agreed. Do not break it! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” Trump wrote on Truth Social this morning.
Zelensky later responded, writing, “Ukraine supports the ceasefire, and it is important that Russia support it as well. We are awaiting details from the American side.”
The announcement followed a back-and-forth in the press between Trump and Zelensky after Trump announced a deal to purchase diesel from Russia. However, Ukraine continued attacks, striking a Russian diesel export hub, which angered the President.
Trump went off on Zelensky on Saturday, calling for him to hold an election to replace him, and accusing him of dragging out the war. He doubled down hours later, saying Zelensky “should have an election” and that “Putin would like to see a settlement strongly,” but “Zelensky does not want to make a deal.”
Zelensky responded to Trump on Sunday ahead of the ceasefire announcement, telling ABC’s Jonathan Karl that it’s Russia’s fault that the war has continued and calling for a ceasefire.
Russia reportedly hit the power plant this afternoon.
Russia has attacked a power plant in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv despite President Donald Trump’s statement earlier Sunday that both sides had agreed to an “energy ceasefire,” according to Ukrainian officials.
A local official told ABC News the thermal power plant CHP-5 was struck at least twice, causing a fire. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a statement confirmed Russia had attacked the plant, as well as another in Kyiv, saying it had taken place after Trump’s announcement.
Announcing the energy ceasefire earlier on social media, Trump said both Russia and Ukraine had agreed and that it would immediately come into effect, but Zelenskyy has said Ukraine was caught off guard by the announcement. Russia has yet to comment.
Zelensky released a video statement on X:
Today, there was a statement from the President of the United States that an energy ceasefire has been secured. This is good news for everyone – and it is important that it become reality.
Unfortunately, Ukrainian skies have been infested with Russian “shaheds” all day today. There have been glide bomb strikes and strikes on our energy infrastructure too. A power plant in Kharkiv was attacked this evening.
Overall, this past week alone, the Russians have carried out more than 200 strikes on our electricity generation and transmission facilities in Ukraine, and another 17 strikes this week targeted gas and oil facilities. They have killed more than 150 of our people, and more than 700 people have been wounded.
Ukraine has proposed many de-escalatory steps. Putin had one answer to all of them – “nyet.” We do hope that he will finally say something to America, Ukraine, and the entire world that will lead to a real and dignified peace.
Ukraine wants peace. The question is whether Russia does. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have received all the appropriate orders. We are awaiting clear details of the dialogue between America and Russia – and we expect Putin to follow through on what President Trump said.

Russian forces hit Kyiv’s Northern Bridge for the second straight day on October 4, dropped guided bombs on Sumy, and killed civilians in five regions as German Chancellor Friedrich Merz arrived in Kyiv with new aid.
In Kyiv, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said a strike at 10:34 a.m. hit the Northern Bridge roadway, injuring two people, one of whom was hospitalized. A damaged heating main in the Desnianskyi district temporarily cut off hot water. Overnight, drones damaged six private houses, a church, a primary school, a café, and a medical facility in the Boryspil district. No one was hurt.
In Chernihiv Oblast, a drone set fire to a house and outbuilding in the Nosivka community, damaging neighboring homes. Regional head Viacheslav Chaus reported five people injured regionwide. In Nosivka, a 76-year-old woman, a 55-year-old man, and a 10-year-old boy suffered burns. The boy was moved from intensive care to a Kyiv hospital in serious condition.
In Sumy Oblast, Russia carried out 45 attacks on 21 settlements in 14 communities. Five guided bombs hit Sumy and the Bezdrytsia community in the morning, and around 2 p.m. Russia dropped six more on the city. Drones hitting a Sumy enterprise killed a 52-year-old worker. Authorities reported more than 25 injured, 21 by aerial bombs, including a 1-year-old child. Sumy has been a frequent target, as covered in a recent field report.
In Poltava Oblast, a drone hit an energy facility, temporarily leaving about 22,000 consumers without power, regional head Vitalii Diakivnych said.
On the Eastern Front, Kharkiv Oblast head Oleh Syniehubov said Russia attacked Kharkiv and 10 other settlements with three missiles, one MLRS round, seven Geran-2 drones, two Molniya drones, nine FPV drones, and 136 other drones, killing one person, a 42-year-old man in Kharkiv, and injuring 12. Late on October 4, a Banderol missile-drone hit a residential high-rise in Kharkiv’s Industrialnyi district. Mayor Ihor Terekhov first reported two dead, but updated figures put the toll at one killed and six injured.
In Donetsk Oblast, regional head Vadym Filashkin reported 20 Russian attacks and said Russian forces killed a resident of Kramatorsk. In Sloviansk, three private houses and two cars were damaged. Authorities evacuated 293 people from the front line, including 21 children.
In Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Russia struck four districts more than 70 times with drones, artillery, and an aerial bomb, killing one person in the Nikopol area and injuring four, three near Nikopol and one in Pavlohrad. In Dnipro, an attack hit a telecommunications company’s premises.
On the Southern Front, Zaporizhzhia Oblast absorbed 891 strikes on 52 settlements, including 25 airstrikes, 719 drone attacks, two MLRS salvos, and 145 artillery strikes, with 40 damage reports. Drones attacking Kushuhum and Novostepnianske killed two people and injured two. A 79-year-old man died in Kushuhum, and in Novostepnianske a drone hit a moving truck, killing the driver.
In Kherson Oblast, regional head Oleksandr Prokudin said Russian drones, artillery, and aircraft hit Kherson and 19 other settlements, injuring six people and damaging an apartment building, seven private houses, a cell tower, a gas pipeline, an agricultural enterprise, and a minibus.
Ukraine’s General Staff reported on October 5 that Russia lost 2,020 personnel in the previous 24 hours, bringing its total since February 2022 to about 1,542,720. Ukrainian losses were not disclosed, though the war’s toll on soldiers has strained Ukraine’s prosthetics providers. Overnight on October 4, the SBU hit a Su-35 and Su-34 at the Khanska military airfield in Russia’s Republic of Adygea, and drones of its Alpha special operations center struck an ammunition depot there.
Merz arrived in Kyiv by train. At a joint press conference, he and Zelensky announced a German package worth over €1.3 billion ($1.46 billion), including €1 billion in military aid with funding for interceptor drones that can counter Russian jet-powered weapons, and about €350 million for energy. Germany will also supply thousands of IRIS-T missiles and additional IRIS-T fire units. “This will quickly and noticeably strengthen Ukraine’s air defense, and this reinforcement is urgently needed,” Merz said. The two countries signed 15 cooperation documents. The visit came days after Ukrainians marked Pokrova, an observance that links Christian faith with military service.
Zelensky said the U.S. is proposing “some kind of meeting at the technical level in a trilateral format by the end of October.” He said he spoke directly with the U.S. negotiating team on October 3 and that Ukraine is ready to participate.
Asked whether Russia had shared its new jet-powered drone with North Korea, Zelensky replied, “Yes, of course.” Zelensky also congratulated Latvian Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs, whose pro-Ukraine United List won 41 seats in the 100-seat Saeima.
