⭕️ Kristi Rogers, the wife of Michigan Republican Senate nominee Mike Rogers, handed out $10 gas gift cards to drivers at a gas station on Detroit's east side on Wednesday, footage published by Sam Robinson shows. "You should have gotten me before you filled up. I've got a $10 gift card," Kristi Rogers told one driver in footage of the stop at a Freedom Fuel station. Asked about the giveaway, Mike Rogers told CBS News' Ed O'Keefe on Sunday that his wife paid for the cards out of pocket and was trying to raise campaign awareness. Michigan law bars offering anything of value to influence a vote. Lawyers told the Detroit News it's unclear whether campaign funds can be spent on gas cards. If they were, the campaign will likely have to disclose the spending under federal rules.

🇺🇦 BREAKING: Ukraine has all but run out of Patriot interceptors, leaving it largely unable to stop Russian ballistic missiles, according to the Washington Post and CNN. "As of October 7th, there were only 10 missiles left; these were used up during the attacks. Currently, there are only a couple remaining," a Ukrainian official told the Post. A source told CNN that "almost all the ballistic missiles from the last strike were not intercepted," as Russian missiles hit three Kyiv power plants and energy sites in Kharkiv, killing four people. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told the Financial Times that when he asked for more air defenses, the US response was to weaken Starlink's service, according to CNN.
