A “calmer” week in Trump world still brings heat: an armed-conflict declaration against cartels and disputed Venezuelan boat strikes, wild speculation over interstellar object 3I Atlas, James Comey’s indictment and DOJ resignations chatter, contested National Guard deployments and Insurrection Act talk, the Columbus Day swap, military pushback after Quantico, the ongoing government shutdown and likely CR, fact-checking immigration myths, Nobel notes and Alexa’s “always listening,” plus a tense segment on Israel-Gaza ceasefire terms. Candid, explicit, no-BS political talk—with a sci-space curveball.
