Trump uses repeated funding cuts to pressure California, complicating state’s legal fight– www.latimes.com Source Link Excerpt:
The federal Office for Victims of Crime announced in the summer that millions of dollars approved for domestic violence survivors and other crime victims would be withheld from states that don’t comply with the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
California, 19 other states and the District of Columbia sued, alleging that such preconditions are illegal and would undermine public safety.
The administration then took a different tack, announcing that community organizations that receive such funding from the states — and use it to help people escape violence, access shelter and file for restraining orders against their abusers — generally may not use it to provide services to undocumented immigrants.
Home secretary says pro-Palestine protests in wake of Manchester attack are ‘un-British’ | UK news– www.theguardian.com Source Link Excerpt:
The decision by pro-Palestinian groups and supporters to proceed with protests calling for an end to the war in Gaza after Thursday’s deadly attack on a synagogue in Manchester was “fundamentally un-British”, the home secretary has said as she called for other demonstrations this weekend to be called off.
Shabana Mahmood also said she would appeal to anyone thinking of going on one to pause and think how they would feel if a loved one was murdered on the holiest days of the year in their faith.
Mahmood was speaking as more details emerged about the attacker, whom police had named as Jihad al-Shamie, who she said was not known to counter-terrorism police and who had not been referred to the the British government’s Prevent de-radicalisation programme.
Federal Judge Blocks Trump from Firing Hundreds of Employees at Voice of America– slaynews.com Source Link Excerpt:
A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s plan to fire more than 500 employees at the United States Agency for Global Media (USAGM).
U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth sided with plaintiffs who challenged the layoffs.
Lamberth blocked Acting USAGM CEO Kari Lake’s plan to lay off 532 staffers, most of whom worked for Voice of America (VOA), while litigation over the case continues.
“The Reduction in Force announced by Defendant Lake on or about August 29, 2025, is SUSPENDED and may NOT be implemented, effectuated, or completed in any way,” Lamberth wrote in his ruling.
Trump’s Push to Rein in Bureaucracy Stalls
Lake and the administration have argued that the mass firings were necessary to streamline the bloated agency, which oversees outlets such as Radio Free Europe and the Middle East Broadcasting Networks.
“These reductions are critical to help reduce the federal bureaucracy, improve agency service, and save the American people more of their hard-earned money,” Lake said last month.
She has described Voice of America as “rotten to the core” and “anti-American.”
California Governor Gavin Newsom signs landmark AI safety law SB 53– fortune.com Source Link Excerpt:
California has taken a significant step toward regulating artificial intelligence with Governor Gavin Newsom signing a new state law that will require major AI companies, many of which are headquartered in the state, to publicly disclose how they plan to mitigate the potentially catastrophic risks posed by advanced AI models.
The law also creates mechanisms for reporting critical safety incidents, extends whistleblower protections to AI company employees, and initiates the development of CalCompute, a government consortium tasked with creating a public computing cluster for safe, ethical, and sustainable AI research and innovation. By compelling companies, including OpenAI, Meta, GoogleDeepMind, and Anthropic, to follow these new rules at home, California may effectively set the standard for AI oversight.
Newsom framed the law as a balance between safeguarding the public and encouraging innovation. In a statement, he wrote: “California has proven that we can establish regulations to protect our communities while also ensuring that the growing AI industry continues to thrive. This legislation strikes that balance.”
The legislation, authored by State Sen. Scott Wiener, follows a failed attempt to pass a similar AI law last year. Wiener said that the new law, which was known by the shorthand SB 53 (for Senate Bill 53), focuses on transparency rather than liability, a departure from his prior SB 1047 bill, which Newsom vetoed last year.
“SB 53’s passage marks a notable win for California and the AI industry as a whole,” said Sunny Gandhi, VP of Political Affairs at Encode AI, a co-sponsor SB 53. “By establishing transparency and accountability measures for large-scale developers, SB 53 ensures that startups and innovators aren’t saddled with disproportionate burdens, while the most powerful models face appropriate oversight. This balanced approach sets the stage for a competitive, safe, and globally respected AI ecosystem.”

‘Say it to my face’: House minority leader slams Trump; calls US president ‘racist’ over deepfake video– timesofindia.indiatimes.com Source Link Excerpt:
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on Tuesday accused President Donald Trump of being “racist” over a deepfake video posted to the social media platform, which depicted him wearing a sombrero.The fabricated video was posted on Trump’s Truth Social account on Monday night and featured Jeffries sporting an exaggerated handlebar moustache with mariachi music playing in the background. The video, released hours after Trump met with congressional leaders about the looming government shutdown, appeared aimed at mocking Democrats’ stance on federal benefits for migrants — a claim Democrats deny. Speaking on the steps of the Capitol, where numerous Democrats rallied for Republicans to negotiate a bipartisan spending bill, Jeffries stated, “Mr. President, the next time you have something to say about me, don’t cop out through a racist and fake AI video.” He added, “When I’m back in the Oval Office, say it to my face. Say it to my face.”Trump, known for attacking minorities and exacerbating racial tensions to energise his MAGA base, has a longstanding record that Jeffries, the first Black lawmaker to lead either party, has consistently opposed. Uploaded hours after Trump met with congressional leaders regarding the shutdown, the video parodied a press conference held by Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York outside the White House following that meeting. The fake audio portrayed Schumer attacking his own party as being deeply unpopular “because of all of our woke, trans bulls—.” It further asserted, “Not even Black people want to vote for us anymore.”
Mike Johnson Blasts Democrats’ Government Shutdown Hypocrisy– www.breitbart.com Source Link Excerpt:
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) put the Democrats on blast with their own words, showing their hypocrisy as they protested against previous government shutdowns while refusing to put a stop to the looming shutdown that will occur at midnight Tuesday if they do not compromise with Republicans.
Johnson has the following video playing on loop on a television outside his office in the U.S. Capitol, pointing out the blatant contradictions of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and more:
“It is not normal to shut down the government when we don’t get what we want,” Ocasio-Cortez said on the House floor in 2019.
Almost exactly one year ago, Schumer apparently cared about how the government shutdown that he is currently hell-bent on forcing would impact average Americans.
Why Democrats Are Backing An Illegal Alien To Run Iowa Schools– thefederalist.com Source Link Excerpt:
State officials revoked the license of the superintendent of Iowa’s largest school district Monday after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested Ian Roberts Friday on a deportation order and weapons charges. On Saturday, the Des Moines school board placed Roberts on paid administrative leave while protesters demand his release.
ICE says Roberts is not only an illegal alien from Guyana who was working illegally, but also that he fled arrest in a school district-owned car and was in illegal possession of a loaded gun and hunting knife when agents finally nabbed him. The school board voted in secret to select Roberts as the “first person of color” to assume the Des Moines superintendency in 2023. The noncitizen also holds a Maryland Democrat voting registration.
NASA alert! Giant house-sized asteroid 2025 SA3 set to zoom past Earth at 18,000 mph; here’s what you need to know |– timesofindia.indiatimes.com Source Link Excerpt:
The night sky has long fascinated humanity, offering both beauty and mystery. Occasionally, it delivers something far more extraordinary—like an asteroid making its way toward Earth. On September 30, 2025, NASA confirmed that asteroid 2025 SA3, a space rock measuring about 54 feet (16.5 meters) in diameter, is traveling on a trajectory that will bring it relatively close to our planet. Moving at 18,073 miles per hour (29,080 km/h), this asteroid has captured the attention of scientists, astronomers, and the public alike.While 2025 SA3 is not large enough to threaten Earth, its approach serves as a reminder of the dynamic nature of our solar system and the importance of monitoring near-Earth objects (NEOs). Observing such asteroids allows scientists to refine orbital predictions, study their composition, and prepare for potential future encounters.
Leftist media claims anti-trans ‘hate’ is the real issue after Charlie Kirk assassination– www.lifesitenews.com Source Link Excerpt:
(LifeSiteNews) — As details about Charlie Kirk’s assassination emerge, several facts are becoming clear.
Kirk was allegedly murdered by a sexually confused young man with a trans-identifying partner; he had also submerged himself in the vile underworld of twisted digital porn, developing a taste for “furry porn” and other perversions. Tyler Robinson, according to published text messages, allegedly chose to kill Kirk because of Kirk’s opposition to LGBT ideology, which he referred to as “hate” that could not be “negotiated with.”
Indeed, Kirk’s assassination was gleefully praised by many on the progressive Left who appeared to agree wholeheartedly with Robinson’s motivations. In the wake of mass shootings by trans-identifying killers at a Minneapolis Catholic school in August, at Covenant Christian school in Tennessee, and the recent revelation that the attempted assassin of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh identifies as transgender, a pattern is becoming clear: there are LGBT extremists who believe their own rhetoric and are willing to kill.
It was only a matter of time before we were told in a mainstream publication that the real tragedy of Charlie Kirk’s death is that people might start to notice this pattern and recognize transgender ideology and rhetoric as a destabilizing and dangerous one.
Trump says Hamas has ‘three or four days’ to respond to Gaza peace plan: Live updates– www.independent.co.uk Source Link Excerpt:
Hamas is inclined to accept a Gaza peace plan laid out by Donald Trump but only under certain conditions, officials close to Israel-Hamas negotiations in Qatar told Haaretz.
The group is currently consulting with other Palestinian factions to come to a unified position on the plan.
Hamas is expected to clarify that it is willing to accept the outline in the form that was presented to Arab leaders last week, before prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu made changes to it, the outlet added.
Genocide Against Christians? That’s Not News– www.newsbusters.org Source Link Excerpt:
As we approach the second anniversary of Hamas mercilessly slaughtering 1,200 human beings on October 7, 2023, our media remind us daily of the death toll of Palestinians, according to the “Gaza Health Ministry,” which is run by Hamas.
It’s outrageous that these media outlets are such receptive publicists for mass-murdering terrorists. But they have effectively reversed the polarity, and the people of Israel are painted as the most horrible ghouls on Earth.
On the latest Real Life with Bill Maher, the stridently atheist host said something surprising. “I’m not a Christian, but they are systematically killing the Christians in Nigeria. They’ve killed over 100,000 since 2009. They’ve burned 18,000 churches,” Maher said, referring to violent Islamists in Nigeria, such as Boko Haram.
“This is so much more of a genocide attempt than what is going on in Gaza,” he added.“ They are literally attempting to wipe out the Christian population of an entire country. Where are the kids protesting this?”
That is wokeness at work. The Palestinians are the “marginalized” brown people that need to be “centered” in the media. We know how overwhelmingly anti-Israel our most prestigious campuses are. Meanwhile, African Christians who are black aren’t newsworthy.
Russia on the brink as insider fears ‘economic collapse’ | World | News– www.express.co.uk Source Link Excerpt:
Russia is teetering on the edge of economic collapse as a result of systematic Ukrainian strikes on oil refineries, a Russian propagandist has warned. Meanwhile, the leader of the puppet regime installed by Vladimir Putin in Crimea has said fuel can no longer be sold in quantities of more than 30 litres per person as ordinary people feel the pinch.
In a video clip posted on X, Maksim Kalashnikov, a propagandist, admitted the attacks are no longer sporadic but a systematic campaign aimed at shattering Russia‘s economy. He said: “The war is now waged not for the complete destruction of the Russian Federation, of course, but its collapse,” highlighting a 17% disruption in refining capacity. The fuel crisis was deepening, with the voices of those advocating rationed consumption growing louder, Kalashnikov explained.
He added: “I can state that the situation is deteriorating,” underscoring the severity.
Kalashnikov added: “Ukraine‘s strategy, targeting critical infrastructure like the Druzhba pipeline and Blue Stream, exploits Russia‘s vulnerability, pushing the nation towards an unprecedented economic crisis.

DONALD Trump doesn’t do U-Turns. He does rollercoaster loop-the-loops.
So with all his dizzying corkscrew turns and sudden policy swerves there is every risk he ends up back where he began – sucking up to tyrant Vladimir Putin and scorning President Volodymyr Zelensky.

That means weapons without restrictions for Kyiv and penalties for Moscow. Sanctions must hurt the Kremlin and threaten Putin’s rule.
Joshua Jahn has been identified as the shooter at a Dallas, Texas ICE Facility that led to the deaths of 2 detainees. The shooter then reportedly killed himself. The shooting, on September 24, 2025, followed a network tv appearance by Gavin Newsome where he compared ICE to fascists and accused them of kidnapping innocent people in the middle of the night. The shooter appears to be an Antifa activist, though that has not been confirmed as of the writing of this report.
The response from the left, so far, has been to double down on their violent anti-ICE rhetoric and to call for gun control, which Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) immediately after the attack.
Dallas ICE Shooting Proves Democrat Rhetoric Is Fueling Deadly Violence – PJ Media– pjmedia.com Source Link Excerpt:
On Wednesday morning, a mass shooting at the Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility left one person dead and several others wounded before the shooter took his own life. This tragic incident is not an isolated case; it echoes a similar shooting at the ICE Prairieland Detention Center just two months prior, on July 4.
What distinguishes these attacks is a clear ideological motivation: explicit anti-ICE hatred, evidenced chillingly by bullet casings engraved with the words “ANTI ICE,” as FBI investigations confirm.
With the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, ATF, Dallas Police Department, and state authorities all collaborating on the probe, the stakes could not be higher. Early reports suggest the fatality was a detainee at the facility, though federal officials have yet to confirm this detail.
These violent episodes are the grim consequence of a stark and dangerous shift in political rhetoric. Attacks on ICE agents have soared by an unimaginable 1,000%, a surge that directly correlates with months of venomous language from prominent Democrats aimed at ICE and its personnel.
Charlie Kirk’s Producer Connects Jimmy Kimmel’s Rhetoric to Dallas ICE Shooting – PJ Media– pjmedia.com Source Link Excerpt:
On Wednesday morning, a sniper opened fire from a rooftop overlooking the Dallas ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) facility, critically injuring three people before turning the gun on himself. Authorities later found the shooter’s body on the roof of a nearby immigration attorney’s office.

Once again, we’re staring at the ugly face of left-wing violence. And the question practically asks itself: why does this keep happening? As these attacks mount, it’s hard to ignore the role of the left-wing media, which has spent years normalizing and moralizing political violence.
On Fox News Wednesday morning, Charlie Kirk’s friend and producer Andrew Kolvet pointed directly to Jimmy Kimmel’s rhetoric as part of the problem. Kolvet demanded an apology from Kimmel, who last week falsely smeared Kirk’s killer as a “MAGA Republican” and then refused to correct the record when he returned to the air Tuesday night after a brief suspension.
“I see everything as being connected,” Kolvet explained. “This shooting at an ICE facility—yeah, we don’t know all the details yet. I made some calls before coming on with you—and I’m being told that, you know, the thought is this person was attacking ICE.” He added, “Our prayers are with anybody who was caught up in this violence.”

We’re seeing a horrible situation unfold this morning with the reports about a shooting at an ICE processing facility in Dallas.
It’s still unfolding, so we don’t know all the facts yet in this case, but at this point, reports are that at least two detainees were shot, no agents were injured, and the shooter is dead. During a brief press conference on the matter, one of the officials and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said the rhetoric has to stop. The FBI said there were “anti-ICE” messages on the rounds….
Just last night, California Gov. Gavin Newsom was doing exactly that on Stephen Colbert’s late-night “comedy” show. Here’s Newsom talking about his bill to try to unmask ICE. He claims they are disappearing people and acting without due process. This is just a lie.

“Masked men, jumping out of unmarked cars, people disappearing, no due process, no oversight, zero accountability,” he ranted.

Anti-ICE messages on bullet casings engraved by Dallas ICE shooter Joshua Jahn
The radical left strikes again.
Two people are dead, including the shooter, in a shooting at a Dallas ICE facility as an act of targeted violence, the FBI said on Wednesday.
Among the deceased are two detainees, and a third is in critical condition.
The shooter, identified as 29-year-old Joshua Jahn, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Joshua Jahn fired at the ICE building from a nearby rooftop and ended up killing two detainees.
A sniper who killed at least two migrants and wounded several others in a shooting at a Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility has been identified as Joshua Jahn, 29, the Daily Mail can reveal.
The bloodbath unfolded at the facility in the Texas city shortly after 7am CT Wednesday morning, when the gunman targeted migrants on an unmarked transport van before killing himself.
Multiple law enforcement sources confirmed the identity of the gunman as Jahn, and ICE said in a statement that the sniper ‘fired indiscriminately’.
The victims were ICE detainees, and no law enforcement were injured in the shooting.
Officials said at a press conference on Wednesday morning that bullets found by the shooter’s body were engraved with ‘anti-ICE messages’, and FBI Director Kash Patel shared an image of the bullets reading: ‘Anti-ICE.’
Photo Reveals Anti-ICE Messages On Shell Casings From Dallas Shooting– trendingpoliticsnews.com Source Link Excerpt:
A new photo released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation related to a deadly shooting at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Dallas, Texas, reveals anti-ICE messages were scrawled on shell casings meant to take out agents.
Early on Wednesday morning, a lone gunman opened fire on an ICE facility, with the messages on the shell casings explaining why their place of work was under fire. The gunman, described in initial reports as a white male, shot himself after officers responding to the incident confronted him.
According to ICE Director Todd Lyons, the shooter used a sniper rifle to attack the facility. During a press conference, FBI Special Agent in Charge R. Joseph Rothrock stated that the detention center, located in Dallas, Texas, was likely targeted due to the suspect’s hatred for ICE and their mission to enforce immigration laws.
“What I can also tell you is that early evidence that we’ve seen from rounds that were found near the suspected shooter contain messages that are anti-ICE in nature,” he told reporters. The incident at the Dallas facility is the second in Texas this year.
On July 4, a group of angry individuals stormed an ICE facility located near Fort Worth. One employee was injured in the neck as a result of the assault. A total of a dozen suspects were then arrested in connection with the attack.
“This is just the most recent example of this type of attack,” Rothrock said.

Turning Point Responds After Jimmy Kimmel Tries to Explain Himself in Return: ‘Not Good Enough’– www.westernjournal.com Source Link Excerpt:
Turning Point USA wasn’t buying what Jimmy Kimmel was selling.
The late-night comic returned to ABC’s airwaves on Tuesday after a week’s suspension with a dishonest attempt to explain the comments that got him benched from the show after conservative organizer Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
He didn’t come close.
Turning Point’s Andrew Kolvat, spokesman for the powerhouse group Kirk founded, nailed it in a post on the social media platform X.
Not good enough. Jimmy, it’s simple. Here’s what you need to say:
“I’m sorry for saying the shooter was MAGA. He was not. He was of the left. I apologize to the Kirk family for lying. Please accept my sincere apology. I will do better. I was wrong.” https://t.co/YIR7JeFLIh
“Not good enough,” Kolvat wrote. “Jimmy, it’s simple. Here’s what you need to say:
“I’m sorry for saying the shooter was MAGA. He was not. He was of the left. I apologize to the Kirk family for lying. Please accept my sincere apology. I will do better. I was wrong.”
Direct, to the point, and most of all honest.
Do you buy Jimmy Kimmel’s explanation?
Yes: 1% (1 Votes)
No: 99% (96 Votes)
Kimmel’s mealymouthed explanation was none of those.
Instead, Kimmel said, “[I]t was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man.”
“Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions,” he said. “It was obviously a deeply disturbed individual. That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make, but I understand that, to some, that felt either ill-timed or unclear or maybe both, and for those who think I did point a finger, I get why you’re upset. If the situation was reversed, there’s a good chance I’d have felt the same way.”
It wasn’t his intention to blame any specific group for the actions?
Then why did he blame a specific group — specifically supporters of the Make America Great agenda?
Trump Threatens Legal Action Against ABC for Kimmel Action– www.dailysignal.com Source Link Excerpt:
President Donald Trump threatened ABC for letting Jimmy Kimmel resume his show after the late-night comedian falsely claimed a right-winger assassinated Charlie Kirk.
Kimmel returned to the air Tuesday night after ABC suspended him last Wednesday.
The president threatened to sue ABC for Kimmel’s support of Democrats.
“He is yet another arm of the DNC and, to the best of my knowledge, that would be a major Illegal Campaign Contribution,” Trump said. “I think we’re going to test ABC out on this. Let’s see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative. A true bunch of losers! Let Jimmy Kimmel rot in his bad Ratings.”
On Tuesday night’s show, Kimmel did not apologize for his comments about Kirk but attempted to clarify what he meant.
“I do want to make something clear because it’s important to me as a human,” Kimmel said. “And that is, it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man. I don’t think there’s anything funny about it. I posted a message on Instagram on the day he was killed, sending love to his family and asking for compassion, and I meant it, and I still do.”
Turning Point USA spokesman Andrew Kolvet said Kimmel’s apology was “not good enough.”
