WHAT WE'RE WATCHING
🔎 FBI investigating posts predicting Kirk's assassination. The FBI is reviewing at least seven social media accounts that appeared to show foreknowledge of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, many of which belong to transgender and nonbinary-identifying individuals. Some posts named him directly and referenced the date of September 10 weeks in advance.
🚀 Trump ordered a second strike on a Venezuelan drug boat. President Trump confirmed a US military strike killed three people aboard a Venezuelan vessel in international waters, calling it a cartel operation trafficking narcotics to America. While Venezuela disputes the claim, insisting the crews were civilians, Trump is signaling a tougher stance on narcoterrorism in the region.
🕊️ Rubio doubts Gaza peace talks are possible. During a visit to Israel, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Hamas’ surrender through diplomacy is unlikely, calling the group “barbaric” and committed to Israel’s destruction. His remarks aligned with Prime Minister Netanyahu’s push for a full offensive in Gaza City, even as Trump has projected optimism about brokering a ceasefire.
🏛️ House Democrats oppose tougher migrant penalties. Nearly 200 Democrats voted against the Stop Illegal Entry Act, which would increase penalties for illegal border crossers and for those who commit felonies after entering illegally. The bill passed 226–197, with only 11 Democrats joining Republicans.

What if You Never Had to Clean Gutters Again?
Most gutter guards promise the world but still leave you climbing ladders to clear debris. LeafGuard takes a completely different approach—instead of adding another layer to your existing gutters, they replace your entire system with a one-piece design that's engineered so debris never gets inside.
The science is pretty straightforward: water follows the curved hood into the gutter using liquid adhesion, while leaves, pine needles, and debris roll right off. No joints mean no leaks, and the aluminum is 20% thicker than standard gutters. With over 650,000 ladder-related injuries happening annually, eliminating gutter maintenance isn't just convenient—it's smart.
Upward News readers can take advantage of 75% off installation, plus an additional $200 off. That's significant savings on a system backed by a lifetime no-clog guarantee and 25+ years of proven performance.
