Top Russian diplomats this week made public comments cautioning Ukraine's foreign partners against an escalation of hostilities, each warning that the current trajectory will lead to a war of catastrophic scale.

On Wednesday, Jen Easterly, Director of the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), said that American voters can be confident that the election infrastructure system is strong, and that Russia, Iran, and other nations won't be able to alter the election results.

By a vote of 220-202, the US House voted against House Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-La) proposed six-month federal government funding bill. Of the 220 who voted against, most were Democrats, though 14 Republicans joined them and two Republicans voted present.
