AfD shocks Germany by taking the lead in Saxony-Anhalt elections with 44% of the vote — their first path to state power since WWII. With 77% turnout, voters are furious with Chancellor Merz’s conservatives, rejecting the status quo and embracing AfD’s hardline agenda: slash immigration, cozy up to Russia, ditch Ukraine aid, exit the Euro, and revive nationalist symbols. At just 35, AfD’s candidate Ulrich Siegmund declares this the first step toward national power by 2029 — while mainstream parties refuse to partner with them, fearing extremism. The AfD, now polling at 28% nationally, is riding a wave of frustration, promising traditional values, Russian-language education, and banning rainbow flags — signaling a nation desperate for radical change.

The Mariners pulled off a miraculous comeback against the Athletics, avoiding a sweep thanks to rookie phenom Bryan Woo’s career-best eight-inning masterpiece—just one hit, nine strikeouts. The offense added just enough with key hits from Cal Raleigh and J.P. Crawford to secure a 2-0 win, turning around a three-game skid and reigniting playoff hopes. Woo’s dominant performance silenced the A’s, who managed only one hit, while closer Andrés Muñoz sealed the deal in the ninth. This win wasn’t just a morale boost—it was a statement: the Mariners are still alive.

Stevie Nicks’ beloved younger brother, Christopher Nicks, has died at 72 after a private battle with cancer — leaving behind a legacy woven into her music and family. His daughter shared the heartbreaking news with a tender social media tribute, while his wife Lori Perry, also a backup singer for Stevie, stood as a testament to their musical kinship. Christopher co-wrote “The Nightmare” for Stevie’s 1985 album, and Mick Fleetwood honored him as a vibrant, cherished soul deeply connected to Fleetwood Mac. Stevie herself once dedicated “Landslide” to him onstage, celebrating their unbreakable bond through decades of love and disagreement. His passing is a profound loss felt across the music world — a quiet hero whose spirit still echoes in every note he helped create.

A catastrophic mudslide triggered by a glacier collapse in Nepal has devastated Gyirong Port, Tibet’s main border crossing with Nepal, killing over 1,300 people and leaving more than 5,000 missing. On the Chinese side alone, 43 are confirmed dead, including 261 foreigners from 23 countries, with 519 still unaccounted for. The once-bustling customs hub — including its five-story building — is now buried under mud and debris. Rescue teams use excavators and radar to recover bodies, collecting fingerprints and personal items like tattoos and belongings, nearly 1,000 so far. Families and diplomats voice frustration over China’s lack of transparency in victim identification. Gyirong was vital for trade and Hindu pilgrims to Mount Kailash, especially after an earthquake damaged another route. Now, officials grapple with rebuilding or redesigning infrastructure amid glacial risks. China insists the disaster began on the Nepalese side and calls for global cooperation on monitoring dangerous glacial lakes — while the search for the missing continues, underscoring nature’s fury and the urgent need for cross-border disaster readiness.

FBI’s investigating a massive data breach exposing over 153 million U.S. and Canadian driver’s licenses, allegedly sold on the dark web—verified by cybersecurity expert Brian Krebs. The source may trace back to Louisiana-based ID verification firm idscan.net, used by major companies including Hertz and the Coast Guard. Details remain under wraps as the probe is active, but this breach underscores just how vulnerable our personal data has become in the digital age.

Hurricane Lowell is veering toward Hawaii with a Category 3 punch—125 mph winds, torrential rain, and dangerous surf. While a direct hit is unlikely, Kauai and Niihau are under tropical storm warnings, and all islands face heavy rainfall, flash flood risks, and storm surge. Officials urge beachgoers to stay out of the water, prep emergency kits, know evacuation zones, and avoid flooded roads as powerful waves and rip currents threaten shorelines through Tuesday.

The Trump administration is racing to get a controversial mail-in ballot rule before the Supreme Court, arguing it’s needed to prevent chaos as states ramp up ballot mailing — even though a federal judge previously blocked it. The plan, rooted in an executive order from March, would force states to provide voter lists and require special barcodes on envelopes, letting the Postal Service reject non-compliant ballots. With Justice Jackson setting a Wednesday deadline for responses, tensions mount as North Carolina becomes the first state to begin mailing ballots ahead of November’s elections — all while President Trump continues his long-standing crusade against mail voting, fueled by baseless fraud claims.
