The Pentagon’s latest report confirms that China’s Chengdu J-36 and Shenyang J-50 sixth-generation fighter prototypes are undergoing active flight testing and feature tailless stealth designs.
With multiple prototypes flying since late 2024 and rapid design iterations continuing in 2025, the report indicates that China is accelerating development of its next-generation airpower, potentially reaching visible milestones ahead of the U.S. Boeing F-47, which is scheduled for its first flight in 2028.
Satellite imagery and flight-tracking data indicate that U.S. AC-130J gunships and HH-60W combat rescue helicopters are deploying to Roosevelt Roads alongside F-35 fighter jets, assembling an unprecedented strike package roughly 600 miles from Caracas amid warnings of a growing U.S. military buildup.
The IDF said it has killed a militant involved in rebuilding Hezbollah’s terrorist infrastructure.

The U.S. Department of Justice this morning announced the release of 30,000 additional documents and files related to the case against convicted sex offender and trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, attaching a disclaimer to the release which reads: “Some of these documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims made against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 Election. To be clear: the claims are unfounded and false, and if they had a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponized against President Trump already.”
They aren’t even pretending that the Justice Department is impartial or non-bias anymore.

Elon Musk has officially kicked off the Republican political campaign funding season for the 2026 midterms. Despite the feud with Trump in the middle of the year and Musk having created a new political party in the US to, according to him, "compete with the Republicans and Democrats," the billionaire ultimately made peace with Trump and will return to funding the party. In the presidential elections, Musk directed about $250 million to Trump's campaign, with sources close to the party expecting a similar amount for funding campaigns of congressmen and senators for the November 2026 elections.
In this video, recorded during the Saudi Crown Prince's visit to the US, we can see the level of the "re"-rapprochement between Trump and Musk.
