A joke about healthcare insurance limitations: chiropractors resorting to medieval methods when patients can only afford basic coverage. Dark humor highlighting the gap between what insurance covers versus what people actually need for treatment.

Federal and state authorities have issued over 40 grand jury subpoenas in an escalating investigation into a suspected imposter candidate named Dan Sullivan running in Alaska's election. The DOJ is probing potential deprivation of rights, alleging voter dilution. More subpoenas are expected, according to Fox News.

Democrat Rep. Mary Peltola faces scrutiny as the investigation intensifies. Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy has launched a parallel state probe. Dunleavy says the questioned Sullivan refused to testify under oath to state investigators.

Election day is Tuesday.

A Red Baron pizza stocker named Walt became the face of working-class America after a viral video caught him confronting a prankster mid-shift. The stranger played a fake Apple Pay sound and joked about stealing his money. Walt's response was blunt: "It's not a joke to me. My life is hard enough. I can't even pay my mortgage. I got four kids at home."

The clip exploded because millions recognized themselves in it — the early mornings, the mortgage that never gets easier, the feeling of working hard and still falling behind.

Walt wasn't performing. He was exhausted, late getting home again, up at 5 a.m. for another shift. His kids were already asleep.

People who'd never met him saw their own fathers, brothers, neighbors. Within days, his GoFundMe passed $250,000 and kept climbing.

It's not about one moment. It's about a country saying the quiet part out loud: hard work should be enough. It shouldn't take a stranger's camera and a public breakdown for a man with four kids to catch a break.

Walt just wanted to finish his shift and go home. A whole lot of Americans decided that was worth standing up for.

$5.7 billion drained from Binance — now the largest crypto hack ever recorded.

If $BTC panic-crashed to $60K, most people would be too scared to buy anyway 🤣

🪖 US Army conducts first large-scale battlefield burial drills since Korean War

The military has begun training troops on digging mass temporary graves in combat zones — a practice not seen at this scale in over 70 years.

The exercises signal preparation for potential high-casualty conventional warfare scenarios, a stark shift from the counterinsurgency operations that dominated recent decades.

Pavel Tsatsouline's core strength training principles:

Strength is the foundation of all physical performance—and it's a skill that requires practice, not just effort.

Key rule: Keep reps at 5 or under. Anything more shifts into bodybuilding territory.

Lift heavy, not hard. Avoid the burn—it's your enemy when training for pure strength.

The goal isn't exhaustion. If you're doing it right, you should feel better after your workout than before. Strength training has a massive neural component—it's about priming your nervous system, not grinding yourself down.

Training should be enjoyable. That's not motivational fluff—it's how maximal strength work actually functions.

Air Force One did an unscheduled flyover at the White House during Halloween festivities. Trump paused a receiving line to direct attendees' attention to the aircraft overhead. 🎃✈️

President Trump and First Lady Melania greeted trick-or-treaters at the White House tonight, minutes after Trump returned from a South Carolina rally.

Trump motorcaded to the White House instead of taking Marine One. The reason: Melania's Halloween decorations are too elaborate to risk rotor wash from the presidential helicopter.

On-chain data suggests the Binance hack may have resulted in losses closer to $5 billion, significantly higher than initial estimates.

Binance appears to have suffered a major security breach, with roughly $3 billion in $ETH reportedly stolen. Details still emerging.

Trump cited journalist Laura Loomer's 2017 reporting on Abdul El-Sayed at recent rallies, alleging El-Sayed signed a pledge to a designated terrorist organization with Muslim Brotherhood ties.

Loomer claims Obama knew of these alleged connections yet campaigned for El-Sayed in Detroit this weekend. Obama also endorsed Angie Nixon, whose bookstore Loomer says displays images of convicted cop killers.

Loomer warns that if Democrats win in 2026 despite these allegations being public, the party could field even more controversial candidates in 2028.

CZ confirmed Binance was hacked. $USDT issuer Tether and $USDC issuer Circle moved quickly to freeze $1.8 billion in stablecoins, cutting potential losses by roughly half.

Crypto commentator draws parallels to $FTX collapse amid current market turmoil. The comparison suggests concerns about another major exchange or platform potentially facing similar liquidity or solvency issues.

Trump ripped into a reporter at Joint Base Andrews, calling him "sick," "out of shape," and "disgusting" during a tarmac exchange. The president told the journalist he "looks like hell" and should "put yourself in shape."

Binance potentially compromised — nearly $3B drained in seconds. Unconfirmed reports suggest a possible hack. Markets watching closely for black swan scenario.

Alaska Gov. Dunleavy claims ballot fraud attempt in U.S. Senate race. According to Dunleavy, challenger Daniel J. Sullivan allegedly filed to run using "Daniel S. Sullivan" — matching the middle initial of incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan (whose actual middle initial is S).

Trump brought Winthrop University's men's golf team onstage at a South Carolina rally after spotting them in a TV interview while flying in on Air Force One.

'I was watching coming in and I saw these guys interviewed. I said, these guys, look at them! The future of America. Handsome guys!' Trump told the crowd, before taking selfies with the team.

He added: 'If they can play as good as they look, they're going to win a lot of tournaments.'
