President Donald Trump has reaffirmed America’s commitment to the AUKUS defense pact while making clear that the United States’ unmatched military power remains the ultimate safeguard for peace in the Indo-Pacific region.

AUKUS is the trilateral security alliance between the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia.

Speaking at a joint press conference with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese at the White House, Trump fielded questions about the purpose of AUKUS and its role in countering Communist China’s growing military aggression.

No Kings protesters in Broadview, Illinois, were seen over the weekend celebrating a child smacking and stabbing a piñata depicting President Donald Trump — a move Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) said is how “assassination culture takes root.”

The protesters were outside of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Broadview. According to reports, a man offered a stick to protesters to bash the piñata.

“Sir, do you want to swing?” he asked, trying to find someone in the crowd willing to hit the figurine.

Finally, a child took the stick and can be seen in the video smacking and stabbing the Trump piñata.

FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL—Every day the Democrat government shutdown drags on, it becomes more difficult for President Donald Trump’s Environmental Protection Agency to maintain certain critical operations, a spokesperson told The Daily Signal.

“The Trump EPA is committed to protecting the environment and ensuring America has the cleanest air, land, and water in the world while growing our economy, but Democrats are content to allow our funding to run out,” a spokesperson said. “They are preventing us from securing funding needed to continue these important programs and impeding our ability to deliver clean air, land, and water for Americans.”

While the Dems are out there pretending that the shutdown has everything to do with Republicans and nothing to do with them, the evidence speaks loud and clear. This is why Speaker Mike Johnson said what everyone already knows to be true.

According to Johnson, the Dems are terrified of their “radical base,” which is why they are keeping the government shut down. That tells you all you need to know about the left’s priorities — which is that they don’t intend to represent you.

The reason the government is shut down is that they are demanding free healthcare for illegal aliens — despite their claims otherwise. So, if they are horrified at upsetting people, it would go without saying that the radical base they are beholden to might not be what you would call a “legal citizen.”

According to NJ Media:

Johnson opened the news conference just after 10 a.m. Tuesday, saying the U.S. is now in “Day 21 of the Democrat shutdown.”

“It’s now three weeks since the Democrats decided to shut down the federal government,” Johnson said. “And yet again, Senate Democrats voted to prolong the pain and keep the government closed.

“So far what this shutdown has caused to the people of this country is really unconscionable and the U.S. economy has now lost hundreds of billions of dollars. We have federal workers who are desperate for pay and uncertain the they will get their next paycheck.”

Somewhere down the path of the trans bandwagon, “educators” decided that males should be allowed in the girls’ bathroom and locker rooms. They did this under the guise of inclusivity, despite it excluding the rights of the majority of people who should be in that bathroom in the first place. And while this is the status quo in many places, it does not make it any less reprehensible — especially when bad things happen because of it.

Bad things definitely happened in Loudoun County. That is why students are asking voters to cast their ballots in favor of school board candidates who will actually protect them — unlike the ones who, arguably, protected another student who “was found criminally responsible for two counts of sodomy in the May 28 incident at Stone Bridge High School and a separate incident on Oct. 6 at Broad Run High School after he was transferred to that school,” according to WTOP.

In my Oct. 2 article for The Federalist, I detailed a chilling 2,500 percent spike in indexed internet content pairing “Trump” with “fascist” over the past 10 years, with the biggest surge happening since mid-2024. This spike in dangerous rhetoric is evidence of a left-wing effort to dehumanize conservatives as existential threats.

From Hillary Clinton likening Trump’s rallies to Nazi gatherings to Kamala Harris branding him a “fascist” threat to democracy, the language has poisoned discourse and, as we’ve seen, inspired real-world harm — including assassination attempts on Trump and the recent murder of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk by a radical immersed in anti-Trump echo chambers.

In an interview that promptly went viral, actress Keira Knightley was asked by Decider about the LGBT boycott of Harry Potter due to J.K. Rowling’s opposition to gender ideology.

“I saw you’re voicing Professor Umbridge in the new Harry Potter audiobooks,” the journalist said. “I was wondering, are you aware that some fans are calling for a boycott given J.K. Rowling’s ongoing campaign against trans people?”

Knightley was having none of it.

“I was not aware of that, no,” she said with visible contempt. “I’m very sorry.” She laughed out loud. “You know, I think we’re all living in a period of time right now where we’re all going to have to figure out how to live together, aren’t we? And we’ve all got very different opinions. So I hope that we can all find respect.”

The trend of the late night hosts devolving from comedians into DNC talking heads continued on Monday as they gushed over the weekend’s No Kings protestors. According to them, the size of the crowds should discredit the idea they were actually quite radical.

On The Late Show, CBS’s Stephen Colbert excitedly wondered, “Do you feel that? Do you feel the vibe? It’s electric in here. You can feel the energy in this room because these folks are still high from the No Kings rally this weekend. That was beautiful! It’s a beautiful sight to see. On Saturday, 7 million people turned out in over 2,700 events in all 50 states.”

It’s apparently “cruel” to enforce immigration law, at least that’s what the left has been telling us for months now.

“Trump’s cruel immigration machine is still tearing families apart,” Jordan Foster, Dylan Gee, and Dina Francesca Haynes wrote for MSNBC.

  • Prominent universities like Dartmouth, Carnegie Mellon, and Yale have applied for H-1B visas for various DEI roles, raising concerns about the appropriateness of such hires under the visa’s intended purpose.
  • Experts, including National Association of Scholars’ editor Jared Gould, supported Schmitt’s view by stating that DEI roles are bureaucratic and not technical, and should not qualify for H-1B visas, which are intended for high-skill occupations.

The “No Kings” protests over the weekend exposed the dark and disturbing underbelly of the Democrat’s anti-Trump movement, despite remaining “mostly peaceful” by day.

Many of the demonstrators proudly and openly wished death upon President Donald Trump and/or approved of the assassination of TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk.

The protesters were overwhelmingly white, elderly, and malinformed.

In Chicago, a woman was filmed mocking the assassination of Kirk by making a finger gun gesture toward her neck and laughing.

More than eight in 10 Americans support policies that would require documented proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in U.S. elections, according to a Gallup poll conducted just two weeks before the 2024 presidential election. But a well-funded campaign by leftist “voter rights” groups is lobbying hard to mute the voices of the 83 percent.

The Election Assistance Commission’s comment period on a petition asking the agency to require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote is in its final hours. Comments are due by the end of Monday. Visit the federal rulemaking portal here to comment.

New York City is on the cusp of voting in Zohran Mamdani, a young democratic socialist and New York State Assembly member, as its next mayor. As of now, he is the clear front-runner. Recent polls show him leading with about 45% support, far ahead of rivals like independent Andrew Cuomo at 25%.

The promise of “free” everything has blinded many struggling New Yorkers into pledging their support for the Muslim communist, but Sara Gonzales, BlazeTV host of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered,” warns that this is bound to end in a far bigger disaster than most of us realize.

An illegal migrant posted a twisted TikTok video offering $10,000 to anyone who killed an ICE agent — and the feds later found him with a loaded gun, officials said.

Eduardo Aguilar, 23, was nabbed Tuesday in Dallas, Texas, after posting the chilling footage Oct. 9 seeking “10 dudes” in the city who would be ready to take down federal immigration agents in exchange for the money, according to the Justice Department and Homeland Security.

The Mexican national’s Spanish post said, “10 dudes in Dallas with determination who aren’t afraid to [skull emojis]” — often slang for death — followed by a message offering “10K for each ICE agent.”

For many years now, CBS News’ 60 Minutes has served as a clear-cut example of left-wing media propaganda. So, it wasn’t completely shocking when the program ran to a discredited ex-Justice Department official to trash the Trump administration amid its ongoing legal battles.

This past weekend’s episode included a sit-down interview with Erez Reuveni, who served as acting deputy director for the Office of Immigration Litigation until early April, when he was suspended and subsequently fired for failing to “zealously advocate on behalf of the United States” in court, according to Attorney General Pam Bondi. As The Federalist previously reported, his dismissal purportedly centered around his conduct in the DOJ’s efforts to deport Salvadoran national Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a credibly accused wife-beater and MS-13 gang member.

ANALYSIS: A questionable label for one who opposes ‘gender-affirming care’ for minors

The Illinois State University student paper recently reported on an ISU Young America’s Foundation/College Republicans event featuring Chloe Cole, a “detransitioner” who speaks out against so-called “gender-affirming care” for minors.

For that, The Vidette Editor-in-Chief Vivi Hughes referred to Cole as an “anti-trans activist,” and included a “content warning” at the top of her article regarding “transgender discrimination” and “explicit language.”

The College Republicans said the event’s purpose was to “remind our liberal university that transgenderism is a dangerous ideology, especially for children.”

Over 2,500 Muslims have been charged with “public order” offences in India for openly expressing their love of the Prophet Muhammed. During the last month, Indian police have reportedly raided homes and public spaces to arrest Muslim men suspected of writing “I Love Muhammed” on posters, t-shirts and social media. Prime Minister Narendra Modi‘s Hindu Nationalist party launched the blitz of prosecutions, which has seen some perpetrators’ homes bulldozed, to the end of clamping down on threats against “public order”.

At least 22 cases have been brought against over 2,500 Muslims in the South Asian country, with at least 40 arrested across states governed by the Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the non-profit Association for Protection of Civil Rights (APCR) said. The slew of arrests was sparked by the erection of an illuminated board paying tribute to Muhammed while Muslims were observing Eid al-Milad al-Nabi, the celebration of his birth, in the city of Kanpur on September 4. Dozens were pursued on charges of promoting enmity on the grounds of religion in the historic region, an offence which carries a sentence of up to five years in jail.

“No Kings” protesters could not name a reason why they were protesting against President Donald Trump during the nationwide demonstrations on Saturday.

Organizers of the protests claimed that 7 million anti-Trump protesters turned out in major U.S. cities to reject so-called “authoritarianism” and “affirm” that the nation does not belong to kings. Several of these protesters could come up with a single reason for why they are protesting Trump.

Nathan Hale Elementary in the Chicagoland area which serves mostly Hispanic students, has removed the profile of the teacher, who is named Lucy Martinez. The school also shut down its website, saying that it is “under construction.”  The Post Millennial reached out to Martinez, as well as Chicago Public Schools but did not a receive a response at the time of publication.
