Welcome to Brooklyn After Dark.. a signature smoky Benetti’s deep house mix at a hidden speakeasy where the bridge lights shimmer across the East River. Exposed brick, a low brass lamp and the hum of yellow cabs outside. This is Brooklyn after midnight, cool, confident and a little dangerous.
🎵 THE VIBE of Brooklyn After Dark:
Deep, rolling basslines move like headlights crossing the Williamsburg Bridge. Soulful vocals drift through warm Rhodes chords, and crisp hi-hats tick like rain on fire escapes. It’s moody and amber-lit, with a little rye-whiskey edge: the sound of a city that never quite goes to sleep.
🌉 Brooklyn After Dark PERFECT FOR:
• Late-night drives through city lights
• Deep focus and after-hours work
• Speakeasy-style evenings at home
• Dinner parties that run past midnight
• Unwinding with a slow, stirred drink
🥃 THE PERFECT Brooklyn Cocktail
The Brooklyn is Manhattan’s lesser-known sibling. It’s drier and more bitter, and it belongs to the borough.
• 60 ml rye whiskey (Rittenhouse or Michter’s Rye)
• 30 ml dry vermouth (Dolin Dry)
• 7.5 ml Maraschino liqueur (Luxardo)
• 7.5 ml Amer Picon (or Bigallet China-China / Amaro CioCiaro)
• Garnish: a Luxardo cherry or a lemon twistStir all ingredients with ice for 30 seconds until well chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe, and garnish with a cherry or an expressed lemon twist.

Former FBI Assistant Director Frank Figliuzzi joins Jim Acosta to break down a dual crisis rocking the bureau: the massive ShinyHunters data breach and the controversial demotion of top counterterrorism officials.
The catastrophic FBI jobs portal hack has reportedly exposed the Social Security numbers, home addresses, and secretive job assignments of thousands of active agents. Amid the fallout, Figliuzzi warns that “something is very wrong” after Washington Field Office chief Darren Cox reassigned two veteran counterterrorism supervisors back to headquarters. The purge came after the supervisors pushed back against deploying federal counterterrorism resources to investigate harassing phone calls made to Katie Miller, the wife of White House adviser Stephen Miller.

As rank-and-file morale plummets, Figliuzzi sounds the alarm on structural overreach, top-tier turnover, and why the public may never get a transparent accounting of how the bureau’s security failed.

MORE: Ukrainian forces continue to conduct an intense intermediate-range strike campaign against Russian logistics in southern occupied Ukraine as part of battlefield-shaping operations that will likely continue to enable Ukrainian counteroffensives.
Data from the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces (USF) indicates that Ukrainian forces currently maintain a high intensity of strikes against Russian logistics across the frontline. Ukrainian forces damaged, on average, over twice as many Russian logistics vehicles and fuel tankers in the period May 2026 through September 2026 than in the previous five-month period. Ukraine’s intermediate-range strike campaign continues to inhibit Russian troop and supply movement towards the frontline and to catalyze Ukrainian battlefield successes.Institute for the Study of War (@TheStudyofWar)NEW: Russian President Vladimir Putin advanced Russia’s ongoing cognitive warfare efforts to persuade the world that European leaders who respond to Russian threats and continued limited kinetic attacks in Europe are the actual aggressors.
Other Key Takeaways:
Ukrainian officials are confirming long-held assessments about Russia’s intent to target Ukraine’s civilian and critical infrastructure, especially in major cities, during its Winter 2026-2027 strike campaign.
It remains vital for Ukraine and its supporters to work urgently to defend against the Russian attack on Ukraine’s civilian populations while simultaneously maintaining Ukraine’s current battlefield momentum and to avoid accepting tradeoffs between those two requirements.
Russian forces are likely stockpiling their ballistic and quasi-ballistic missiles in the meantime for more intense future long-range strike packages after Russia’s jet-powered drones have lost their current advantage.
Scaling production of interceptors for jet-powered drones must be an urgent priority for all of Ukraine’s supporters alongside continuing efforts to source Patriot interceptors and to field new systems for intercepting ballistic missiles.
Ukrainian forces continue to conduct an intense intermediate-range strike campaign against Russian logistics in southern occupied Ukraine as part of battlefield-shaping operations that will likely continue to enable Ukrainian counteroffensives.
Zelensky assessed on October 2 that Putin is focusing on massive strikes against Ukraine because Russian battlefield gains in eastern Ukraine have slowed — in line with ISW’s recent assessment that Putin’s new theory of victory aims to rely on Russia’s Winter 2026-2027 long-range strike campaign to force Ukraine to surrender.— https://x.com/TheStudyofWar/status/2106187561504751616
