Trump officially calls off plans to livestream the Fort Hood shooter’s upcoming execution “I think streaming the execution for all to see might have been a strong deterrent for the World to witness how America deals with Terrorists and SCUM like Hasan but, many very good and well meaning people would rather not watch him die, through streaming, or through any other visual device. He will die, as scheduled, by firing squad, but this event will not be streamed.”
New: Trump and his advisers are debating whether to call off plans to livestream the firing squad execution of the Fort Hood shooter, with Trump having remarked privately that he did not initially know that Nidal Hasan was paralyzed from the waist down, two sources familiar with the discussions told CNN cnn.com/2026/10/13/politics/…

Minor to moderate tidal flooding across our coastal communities is forecasted once again Sunday morning. Spotty major tidal flooding is still possible Sunday morning across the back bays. Additional minor coastal flooding is possible this evening, but impacts will be diminishing.

CNN's @KaitlanCollins: "Two thirds of Americans don't think the US is winning the war with Iran. When will it end?" Trump responded: "You should not be here covering me. You said you weren't going to cover me. You shouldn't be covering me."

CNN has retained First Amendment attorney @BoutrousTed in preparation for a possible lawsuit over Trump's media ban. Boutrous also represented CNN when Jim Acosta's press pass was revoked in 2018. (Hat tip to NYT and NPR, which were first to report that he's back on board.)

The Freedom Fuel Network gas station chain had long remained mum as to how it was able to sell gasoline for so much cheaper than competitors. Now, there's a lawsuit alleging that the company that bought the fuel for Freedom Fuel Network did not pay for $4 million worth of gasoline it purchased from a supplier last month. cnn.it/4xzIhTM

For a humanitarian worker, there are few better feelings than seeing a child reunited with their parents. But the flip side of that is that there will be many, many children in Nepal who have lost parents, and many, many parents who have lost their children. W/ @DannyEFreeman
