Russia developing deployment scenarios for “Doomsday drone" in case of nuclear strike
25 October 2025 16:08
Russia has drawn up a series of potential scenarios for using its so-called “Doomsday drone” in the aftermath of nuclear attacks, a senior defence industry official has revealed.
Dmitry Kuzyakin, chief designer at the Centre for Integrated Unmanned Solutions (TsKBR), told the state news agency TASS that the drone is part of a wider monitoring system designed to track environmental contamination following nuclear explosions.
The project, known as Khrust, is currently in an advanced stage of development.
“The drone is integrated into a system that monitors pollution levels after nuclear strikes. It is part of the Khrust project. While we cannot disclose specific operational scenarios, work on the project is in full swing,” Kuzyakin said.
He explained that, although most of the global population would not immediately register the occurrence of a nuclear strike, radioactive dust and ash from massive fires at the blast epicentres would soon spread across the planet.
Kuzyakin said that in the hours immediately following a nuclear detonation, radiation levels remain dangerously high, making it critical to evacuate the wounded, set up temporary shelters, and establish evacuation routes.
At this stage, he noted, fast and mobile remote sensing systems like the Khrust drone are vital.
While surface radiation can often be removed by washing and safely disposing of contaminated clothing, internal exposure — when radioactive material enters the body — poses a far greater risk to human life.
The Khrust drone enables the collection of crucial data on the extent and location of radioactive contamination in the first hours after a strike, eliminating the need to expose human pilots to danger.
The “Doomsday drone” can remain airborne for up to 20 minutes and operates within a range of 500 meters in heavily contaminated areas, extending up to 2 kilometres in less affected zones.
It can be deployed directly from armoured and sealed vehicles and remains functional even when in motion.
The system, according to its developers, is intended to provide rapid situational awareness in extreme conditions, offering Russia a new technological capability for post-nuclear response and environmental monitoring.

Ukrainian drones strike electrical substation in Russia's Volgograd Oblast for second time in two weeks
October 25, 2025 7:07 am
An electrical substation in Russia's Volgograd Oblast is in flames following a reported Ukrainian drone strike, regional Governor Andrey Bocharov said on Oct. 25.
The Balashovskaya substation in the region's Novonikolayevka district caught fire after it was hit by drone debris following a "massive attack" on the region, Bocharov claimed.
Bocharov said that firefighters extinguished the blaze following the attack. The extent of the damage caused was not immediately clear.
The Kyiv Independent could not verify claims made by Russian officials.
The attack marks the second time in recent days that Ukrainian drones have struck an electrical substation in the region.
Overnight on Oct. 16, the Balashovskaya substation was similarly attacked leaving several communities in the region without power.
The Balashovskaya substation is a 500-kv electrical substation owned by a subsidiary of Rosseti, Russia's largest power transmission company.
Ukraine has intensified longe-range strikes against Russian oil, gas, and energy infrastructure, a key source of Moscow's revenues helping to fuel its all-out invasion of Ukraine.
In late September, Belgorod Oblast Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov reported a strike on critical infrastructure as well as "significant power outages" after Ukrainian HIMARS rockets allegedly struck a thermal power plant.
Russia regularly launches mass aerial attacks at Ukrainian cities and has battered the country's power grid every fall and winter of the full-scale war.

US said flying drones over Gaza as more nations join ceasefire-monitoring HQ
October 25, 2025 10:30 am
The United States has reportedly begun deploying surveillance drones over the Gaza Strip to ensure that Israel and Hamas are complying with the ceasefire, The New York Times reported Saturday.
The move comes as further nations sent representatives to help monitor US-led efforts to enforce the fragile truce.
According to the Times, citing two Israeli military officials and a US defense official, the US military has begun flying drones over the Gaza Strip to monitor the ceasefire.
The flights are being conducted with Israel’s consent. The officials did not say where the drones were being operated from.
The surveillance flights reportedly aim to provide Washington with an independent picture of the situation on the ground and assist the new Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) in southern Israel that has begun operating to oversea the Trump deal.
The report noted that the US has in the past flown drone missions over Gaza in a bid to help locate the hostages, however, these flights appear to signal the Trump administration’s desire to verify developments in Gaza separately from Israeli intelligence channels.
“This is a very intrusive version of US monitoring on a front where Israel perceives an active threat,” Daniel B. Shapiro, a former US ambassador to Israel under the Obama administration, told the Times.
“If there was total transparency and total trust between Israel and the US, there wouldn’t be a need for this,” Shapiro said. “But obviously the US wants to eliminate any possibility of misunderstanding.”
The report said that both the IDF and US State Department declined to comment.
The report comes as the US expanded its coalition of partners involved in monitoring and sustaining the fragile ceasefire in Gaza, with additional countries sending representatives to the CMCC.
In addition to Jordan, the UK, Germany, Denmark, and Canada — whose flags were raised at the hub’s unveiling earlier this week — Australia, France, Spain, and the United Arab Emirates have also joined the initiative, a US official confirmed to The Times of Israel on Friday.
Australia and France unilaterally recognized a Palestinian state last month over Israeli objections. Spain did so last year.
The CMCC, established under US leadership, is designed to coordinate humanitarian, logistical, and security assistance into Gaza while helping oversee the postwar stabilization phase.
Roughly 200 American military personnel have been dispatched to set up the center, which currently hosts troops from several allied countries. US Central Command (CENTCOM) stressed that American forces will not deploy into Gaza itself.
“The CMCC is designed to support stabilization efforts… US military personnel will instead help facilitate the flow of humanitarian, logistical, and security assistance from international counterparts into Gaza,” CENTCOM said in a statement upon the center’s establishment.
The center was inaugurated on Tuesday by visiting US Vice President JD Vance, accompanied by CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper and Lieutenant General Patrick Frank, who was appointed to lead the US Army team.
Despite the growing list of participants, the CMCC’s precise structure, command hierarchy, and legal status remain undefined. It is also unclear which countries, if any, will agree to send peacekeeping troops into Gaza as part of a future UN-mandated stabilization force.
Among the main challenges of the force will be to oversee the disarmament of Hamas and the destruction of the remaining terror tunnels under Gaza
Channel 12 reported that Defense Minister Israel Katz told US Vice President JD Vance that some 60 percent of Hamas’s tunnel network remains intact.
The network speculated that half of those tunnels lie near the “Yellow Line,” to which Israeli forces withdrew at the start of the ceasefire on October 10.

The report underscored lingering challenges for Israel’s defense establishment, which has struggled to fully dismantle Hamas’s vast underground infrastructure.
The IDF earlier this year estimated it had destroyed roughly a quarter of Hamas’s tunnels since the war began, focusing primarily on attack tunnels and those used as command centers or weapons factories.
Recent Israeli military assessments found that Hamas retained roughly 20,000 members in its military wing — down from around 30,000 before its October 7, 2023, assault that killed some 1,200 people and took another 251 hostages, sparking the war.
According to the IDF, Hamas’s five regional brigades and 24 battalions were systematically dismantled over the 24 months of fighting, though some units in central Gaza were largely untouched.
While the IDF said it has killed over 22,000 Hamas operatives, the terror group has managed to recruit new fighters, though the army assesses that these recruits are less trained and less capable.
The military now views Hamas as a weakened guerrilla organization, but one still armed with hundreds of rockets — mostly short-range — and thousands of small arms.
Alongside disarming Hamas, the focus is also shifting to post-war rule in Gaza.
Hamas on Friday issued what it described as a joint statement with other “Palestinian factions,” announcing an agreement to form an independent technocratic committee to administer postwar Gaza.
While the statement framed the move as a step toward a unified Palestinian front, it appeared largely symbolic. Hamas has long said it is willing to relinquish governing authority over Gaza, while leaving the question of disarmament to separate discussions.
Since the signing of the ceasefire agreement, Hamas gunmen have returned to the public eye across much of the Gaza Strip, particularly in Gaza City, where operatives have reappeared in the streets and resumed open activity.
Local reports indicate that the group’s internal security forces have detained, beaten, and in some cases executed Gazans accused of collaborating with Israel.
Notably, Hamas’s statement made no mention of Fatah or the Palestinian Authority, amid reports that PA President Mahmoud Abbas instructed his aides to boycott the meeting over Hamas’s inclusion.
It also offered no details on who would sit on the proposed committee — a body that would likely require US approval to operate.
Speaking at the CMCC on Friday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio reiterated that Hamas “cannot be involved in governing Gaza in the future,” noting this stance is shared by all countries aligned with the Trump administration’s postwar plan for the territory.
The statement followed an October 13 summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, where President Donald Trump joined the leaders of Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey in signing a framework for Gaza’s reconstruction and governance.
“Implementing the September 29 plan is not going to be a linear journey. There will be ups and downs and twists and turns,” Rubio said in reference to Trump’s 20-point peace plan.
“But I think we have a lot of reason for healthy optimism about the progress that’s being made.”

China unveils ‘ghost’ drone for stealth underwater surveillance
10:00pm, 25 Oct 2025
Chinese scientists have created a ghostlike jellyfish robot that can carry out covert underwater missions.
Described as an “underwater phantom”, the bionic jellyfish robot was developed by Tao Kai from Northwestern Polytechnical University’s school of mechanical and electrical engineering in Xian, Shaanxi province.
According to the university, the robot is nearly indistinguishable from real jellyfish when submerged, enabling intelligent detection and real-time monitoring in aquatic environments.
“Thanks to its low power consumption, near-silent operation and lifelike design, the robot is uniquely suited for deep-sea covert monitoring, observing fragile ecosystems and performing precise inspections of underwater structures,” Science and Technology Daily quoted Tao as saying on Monday.
The robot’s transparent form, complete with an umbrella-like body and tentacles, closely mimics a jellyfish and is made from a hydrogel electrode material developed by the research team.
The result is a compact device measuring 120mm (4.7 inches) in diameter and weighing just 56 grams (two ounces).
The robot moves underwater using an electrostatic hydraulic actuator, which mimics the neural signals that control muscle contraction and relaxation in jellyfish.
Operating at just 28.5 milliwatts, it produces almost no physical or acoustic disturbance, making long-term covert underwater missions possible.
The robot is equipped with a miniature camera module and an embedded artificial intelligence processing chip, allowing it to accurately identify specific underwater targets through machine learning.
In August, the bionic jellyfish was featured in a science programme on state broadcaster CCTV alongside other bioinspired robots, including a robotic bird, a mechanical locust, a gecko robot and a robotic fish.
During the programme, Tao showed the robot’s intelligent abilities, demonstrating how it could maintain a stable hover in dynamic water conditions and accurately identify specific objects, including the school’s emblem and clownfish.
The demonstration showed that a robot inspired by nature could independently perceive its environment and identify targets.
A team member said the robotic jellyfish could be used to observe and track underwater fish populations without disturbing them.
The programme praised the robot as an innovative solution to key challenges in deep-sea exploration, such as energy “endurance”, stealth and environmental compatibility.
Northwestern Polytechnical University has a strong track record in the research of aircraft and robotics. Its developments in bird- and insect-inspired robots, as well as robots that can move through both water and air, are considered among the best in the world.
Tao’s lab, the Ministry of Education’s Key Laboratory of Micro and Nano Systems for Aerospace, is one of China’s earliest research units dedicated to micro-electromechanical systems.

US firm’s drones with 1,000 lbs of suppression power bring faster fire response
Updated: Oct 25, 2025 08:35 AM EST
AUS startup has secured funding to scale the production of its autonomous firefighting drone technology to tackle rising wildfire incidents.
Seattle-based Seneca is developing the first fully autonomous fire suppression system featuring drones that can deliver fire-suppressing agents at high pressure and use AI to navigate and extinguish fires in under ten minutes.
These modular aerial units can be launched remotely with an approximate fire location, striking quickly during the critical window when a spark can turn into a megafire.
The startup has now announced its public launch and a $60 million funding round, led by Caffeinated Capital and Convective Capital—the largest in fire tech to date.
“Our hope is to empower firefighters in situations that were previously impossible, unsafe, or inefficient. The American way of life has always been about pioneering.
Technology is how we will protect communities, preserve our environment, and create a more resilient civilization,” said Stuart Landesberg, Founder and CEO of Seneca, in a statement.
Drones battle wildfires
Wildfire intensity in the United States has more than doubled over the past two decades, inflicting an estimated $1 trillion in annual economic losses and endangering 115 million Americans.
Experts warn that 2025 will become the most destructive and costly fire year in US history. The devastation extends far beyond the loss of homes, impacting the air people breathe, the water they depend on, and the forests vital to the nation’s environment and way of life.
Amid the highest wildfire risk in history, Seneca aims to modernize firefighting infrastructure with advanced autonomous drone technology, AI, and computer vision.
Developed with insights alongside firefighters and landowners, Seneca claims its solutions are built to integrate seamlessly into the operations of leading fire agencies, utilities, and property owners.
The firm’s modular aerial suppression units are compact enough to be hand-carried, transported in utility vehicles, or deployed remotely.
This flexibility enhances efficiency and effectiveness across multiple scenarios, from verifying and containing early-stage fires in remote terrain to supporting large-scale firefighting and cold trailing efforts on major incidents.
“Seneca’s vision for rapid, drone-based response is a critical missing capability that allows firefighters to conduct suppression operations when it is still feasible to do so.
This should be considered essential for stakeholders ranging from fire agencies to utilities, to municipalities; the opportunity for impact is enormous,” said Bill Clerico, Managing Partner of Convective Capital, in a statement.
AI fire resilience
Seneca’s autonomous firefighting system represents a breakthrough in aerial fire suppression technology, combining robotics, artificial intelligence, and advanced computer vision to respond faster and more safely than traditional methods.
The modular system centers on high-performance electric drones capable of carrying over 100 pounds (45 kilograms) of fire-suppressing agents and delivering them at ultra-high PSI using aerated Class A foam for rapid knockdown.
Designed to operate independently or in coordinated swarms, groups of four to six drones can deliver 500 to 1,000 pounds (227 to 454 kilograms) of suppression power per mission—without needing helipads, refueling stations, or complex ground infrastructure.
Operating from a portable tablet, the system can reach hazardous or isolated areas that human personnel cannot, and it can launch in a matter of seconds, even if it is only given an estimated fire location.
Seneca drones, which compensate for wind and visibility, can precisely detect, track, and target fires because of their AI-driven navigation and onboard infrared sensors.
The company claims that camera-based situational awareness, ADS-B, and Remote ID integration, and autonomous obstacle avoidance contribute to safety and guarantee smooth operation in challenging skies.
The platform offers unparalleled flexibility for year-round fire management by supporting planned burns, structural protection, hazardous control, utility safety activities, and emergency response.
Developed in collaboration with firefighters and landowners, Seneca claims its scalable aerial units will redefine how wildfires are detected, controlled, and contained in an era of growing climate risk.

Donald Trump Jr.'s investment in drone company pays off with Pentagon contract==
October 24, 2025 1:04PM ET
A Florida-based drone company backed by Donald Trump Jr. has reportedly won its largest-ever contract from the Pentagon.
The Financial Times reported on Friday that Unusual Machines had been awarded a contract to manufacture 3,500 drone motors and other parts for the U.S. Army.
The company said it expected the U.S. military to order an additional 20,000 parts next year.
Unusual Machines CEO Allan Evans declined to state the value of the contract.
According to a disclosure, the president's son owns 331,580 shares of the company, which are valued at around $4 million.
"Don has never communicated with anyone in the Administration on behalf of Unusual Machines or about the contract in question," a company spokesperson told the Financial Times.
"His advisory role with them has nothing to do with interfacing with the government."

Sailor linked to Area 51 shares chilling details of four UFOs rising from ocean
07:00 ET, Sat, Oct 25, 2025
A U.S. Navy officer linked to the top-secret military installation tied to countless UFO theories and encounters Area 51, has revealed a chilling confrontation with four enigmatic "tic-tac" UFOs that emerged from the Pacific Ocean.
Senior Chief Operations Specialist Alexandro Wiggins, a Navy veteran with 23 years of service, was aboard the USS Jackson when this bizarre incident unfolded on February 15, 2023.
Wiggins was responsible for identifying airborne objects near the vessel.
He observed four puzzling entities surface from the ocean, which subsequently departed from the southern California coastline in a "synchronized" pattern.
Wiggins, whose father was employed at Area 51, informed 8newsnow that he continues to be "skeptical" about what he observed, stating, "Maybe one day I'll know what that was."
The Las Vegas resident, alongside fellow sailors, detected the peculiar objects on their monitors, prompting Wiggins to venture outside for a clearer view, reports the Daily Star.
"To my surprise, which is something I've never witnessed, was a light I noticed on the horizon, it looked as if it were surfacing out of the water and going up," Wiggins recalled.
He subsequently returned to the combat center to examine the phenomenon more closely using a thermal sensor.
The sensor detected two tic-tac-shaped objects.
"We only saw the one, and then we see the second one" Wiggins said, adding, "It was only when we zoom out that we realize, holy crap, there's two more out here, a total of four."
The naval officer recounted how the four objects "suddenly" moved northeast in unison, describing it as "two steps behind instantaneous."
Mark Von Rennenkampff, a former defense department analyst, examined flight data from the time and location of the sighting and found no US aircraft in the vicinity.
This area of the ocean, known as Warning Area 291, is under military control and has been linked to several reports of strange and unidentified craft sightings, including the 2004 sighting of a 'tic-tac-shaped' UFO.
According to Mail Online, this sighting, where Navy pilots observed two UFOs also speeding away, was investigated by a classified government program.
Wiggins further stated that if the truth about what he witnessed ever surfaced, he would be "like 80 or 90 years old, and it'll be normalized, like… The stealth fighter or area 51".
"At some point, it'll be public, but then I'll be old," he added.

Charlie Kirk saw a UFO after a Penn State game a year ago. Here’s what we know
Oct. 25, 2025, 5:00 a.m.
The country was rocked last month when conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was shot and killed in Utah.
For fans of Kirk — and the country in general — the wounds of that and the rifts it created have yet to be fully sorted out.
That will take time.
But looking back through the files on Kirk brought a … well, a pretty weird story from just a year ago.
Kirk was known to be a sports fan, and he took in a lot of games. He made appearances at those and spoke, too.
Kirk was in the house last year and on the sidelines at Wisconsin on Oct. 26 for the Badgers’ game against Penn State.
The Nittany Lions won that game, 28-13, and when it was all through, Kirk hopped on a jet and headed back toward home.
And that is when things got interesting as Kirk shared a video to social media trying to figure out just what in the heck he might have been looking at in the sky.
Not saying it was aliens, but, at least by definition, whatever he saw up there were certainly unidentified flying objects.
Kirk shared a video to X around 1 a.m. that Sunday morning filmed from the cockpit of his flight and there was definitely something strange going on up there.
“I was flying back from Wisconsin on a friend’s plane tonight and got called up to the cockpit,” he wrote along with the video.
“The pilots were very confused at what they were seeing. Something was above them and not showing on radar. I’m sure there is a logical explanation here. Watch this video and tell me what I am missing.”
The pilots pointed out in the video several objects that appeared to be circling high above the plane.
“We are at 40,000 feet,” the pilot said. “So, whatever that is has to be at 80,000 or 100,000 feet. I mean way up there.”
“They are at 100,000 feet?” Kirk asked. “They’d have to be,” the pilot responded.
Kirk later asked, again, if radar would pick it up if it was an airplane.
“What kind of thing wouldn’t be picked up by radar?” he asked the pilot. “Could it be military?”
The pilot guessed it may be something stealth.
He checked their location on GPS at that time, and it appeared they are flying through New Mexico — Roswell, anyone? — into Arizona at the time the video was filmed.
However, the pilot and co-pilot said they had been seeing the circling lights for most of the trip.
The word the pilot kept using to describe it was, “weird.” And it definitely was weird.
Kirk’s followers chimed in with many finding ways to make political jokes about the video, but others tried to offer real explanations.
A popular answer was “satellites,” but in the video the pilots discussed the fact that they did not appear to be satellites because they were circling instead of going in a straight line.
Was it satellites? Space trash? Some sort of surveillance operation? Secret government weapons? Maybe something Halloween related?
Aliens? We never got an answer to what was a very weird situation in the skies.

Evidence of non-human intelligence activity near US nuclear sites gains scientific validation
Updated: 15:46 EDT, 24 October 2025
Thousands of objects sent by a non-human intelligence may have been spying on the world's nuclear tests all the way back in the 1940s.
A groundbreaking study has just been published, providing verified evidence that something or someone was observing our nuclear sites from space long before the first human satellites were ever launched into orbit.
Dr Beatriz Villarroel from the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics in Sweden revealed a clear connection between nuclear tests between 1949 and 1957 and an increase in the number of mysterious bright spots called 'transients' appearing in the sky.
These transients are not believed to be a natural phenomenon, with Villarroel saying they showed signs of being highly reflective, like a mirror, and even spinning like a flying saucer.
The publication of these findings was a major milestone, as most papers discussing the existence of unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) are rejected by the scientific community.
Having the work successfully peer-reviewed means other scientists have looked over the data and could not find anything to dismiss the team's findings as just another unproven story about UFOs.
Overall, researchers discovered that the mysterious transients were 45 percent more likely to be spotted flying overhead just before or right after a nuclear test.
'These are objects before Sputnik One when humans had nothing up there, and these things, no matter what they are, they need to be really flat, reflective like a mirror, and I personally don't know anything natural that looks like that,' Villarroel said.
The study, published in Scientific Reports by Villarroel and Dr Stephen Bruehl, analyzed mysterious star-like objects seen in old photos from the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey in California during the early nuclear days of the US, UK, and Soviet Union.
Specifically, researchers focused on 124 above-ground nuclear bomb tests conducted by the three nations, causing explosions in the open air, not underground as these tests are carried out today.
The unknown objects appeared briefly and then vanished, and they were captured on camera before humans began launching any kind of devices into space, so they can't be explained as human-made craft.
Not only did the researchers find that UFO sightings went up on days when nuclear testing was taking place, but the total number of transients spotted in the photos also increased by 8.5 percent.
These unidentified objects were most likely to appear the day after a nuclear test, making explanations that the sightings were just streaks or clouds created by the explosions unlikely.
'Nature can always surprise us with something we could never have imagined. So, I cannot exclude that there might be some other explanation that is just outside my imagination,' Villarroel told NewsNation.
'But from what I see, I cannot find any other consistent explanation than that we are looking at something artificial,' she added.
Investigative journalist and author Ross Coulthart noted: 'The implications are this might be the first scientific evidence of a non-human intelligence.'
Villarroel could not say for sure whether the objects spotted in Earth's orbit in the 1950s were still there, but noted that if they were truly constructed by a non-human intelligence, they may still be circling the planet.
The scientists found over 100,000 transients during their observations, with about 35,000 in the northern hemisphere alone.
The study found nearly 60 of these artificial objects floating in orbit on days when there was nuclear testing, and witnesses reported seeing UFOs.
That number went down to 40 transients on days when only one of these two events took place.
The newly peer-reviewed study is not the only evidence that a non-human intelligence may have been visiting Earth during the Cold War.
A trove of unearthed government documents recently detailed a secret face-to-face encounter with alien beings more than 60 years ago.
More than 50 pages of CIA files, which the FBI has maintained are fakes, claimed that a secret government program established communications with UFOs in 1959.
Before that, speculation has continued to swirl around the alleged 1947 UFO crash in Roswell, New Mexico.
While the US government has continued to deny that an alien craft was recovered, whistleblowers have claimed that the Roswell UFO is real and is just one of several non-human craft the US military has recovered since 1947.

Sen. Kaine: NDAA empowers Pentagon to shoot UAP down over bases like Langley
Oct 25, 2025
Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) — Member, Armed Services Committee
Ask a Pol asks:
Have you gotten any update on the UAP — or “drone swarms,” as most policymakers say — that shut Langley Air Force Base down in 2023?
Key Kaine:
“No, no,” Sen. Tim Kaine exclusively tells Ask a Pol. ”Bottom line is the radar — we’ve discovered some things in the last couple of years.
Radar does a better job at picking up fast things than slow things and large things than small things.”
Caught our ear:
Were you able to address that in this year’s NDAA — or National Defense Authorization Act?
“There were a couple, yes,” Kaine tells us. “The COUNTER Act that Sen. [Kirsten] Gillibrand and [Senate Intelligence Committee Chair Tom] Cotton put in, I think would help them address it.”
But that’ll give clarity to the Pentagon for bases like Langley?
“Yes,” Kaine says.

"Who in the House keeps targeting your [UAPDA]?" Ask a Pol presses Chuck Schumer
Oct 24, 2025
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) — US Senate Minority Leader
Ask a Pol asks:
Sir, did your UAP Disclosure Act get gutted again?
Schumer’s response:
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer refused to comment as he exclusively scowled at Ask a Pol UAP — so we made sure to document the leader’s silent frustration…
Caught our ear:
Do you know who in the House keeps targeting your measure?
Chuck Schumer: (silence)
