ACT for ALS Reauthorization Passes Congress with One Day to Spare

The ACT for ALS Reauthorization Act passed the US Senate on September 28, 2026, by unanimous consent, just one day before the previous authorization was set to expire. The bill, which extends funding for ALS research and experimental treatments through 2031, has now been sent to President Trump for signature. The passage was driven by intense advocacy from the I AM ALS community and public pressure, including a petition campaign promoted by AEW wrestler Rebel, who is living with terminal ALS. The Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) and other advocacy groups are urging the President to sign the bill quickly to prevent a lapse in critical funding for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

Indonesian village aid funds Papua rebellion weapons.

Separatists in Indonesia's Papua region have been using government aid money to buy black market guns for their guerrilla war, according to officials. The "Dana Desa" village fund, valued at $4.7bn this year, has long been criticised as prone to corruption. The fund is a key source of revenue for the rebels, who have been fighting for independence since the region was absorbed by Indonesia after a 1969 vote. The escalating insurgency is coinciding with a spike in illegal weapons sales in the region, with the village fund providing a key source of revenue.
