Trump UK visit live: President tells Starmer to call in the military against illegal migration– www.independent.co.uk
Source Link
Excerpt:
Watch as Donald Trump says that Jimmy Kimmel was fired for poor ratings after the late night host had his show pulled for comments he made about Charlie Kirk’s shooting. At a press conference at Chequers with British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer on Thursday (18 September), the president was asked about the suspension of Kimmel’s talk show and whether free speech was more “under attack” in Britain or America. Mr Trump responded by claiming that Mr Kimmel was fired ”because he had bad ratings”, and slammed him for saying a “horrible thing about a great gentleman known as Charlie Kirk”. Stating that the comedian should have been axed long ago, Mr Trump said: “You can call that free speech or not, he was fired for lack of talent.”
The US president briefly raised a clenched fist as he stood at the door of Chequers alongside Sir Keir Starmer and their wives, Melania and Victoria, while two RAF pipers played Scotland The Brave.
He then shook hands with the Prime Minister before being driven to his waiting helicopter.

Excerpt:
President Donald Trump said Republicans will hold a midterm convention ahead of the 2026 elections as the White House looks to stave off losses in Congress that historically beset the party in power.
Trump, who last month floated the idea of a midterm convention, confirmed the plans in a Sept. 16 post on Truth Social, though he did not say when the convention would happen, where it would take place or what it would involve.
“The Republicans are going to do a Midterm Convention in order to show the great things we have done since the Presidential Election of 2024,” Trump wrote. “Time and place to be determined. Stay tuned, it will be quite the Event, and very exciting!”

Excerpt:
WASHINGTON — The Senate unanimously approved a resolution by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, to condemn the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk during a voice vote on Tuesday.
Lee introduced the resolution shortly after Kirk’s death last week, calling on his colleagues to condemn his assassination “in the strongest possible terms” while also honoring his life and “commitment to the constitutional principles of civil discussion and debate between all people in the United States regardless of political affiliation.” The resolution passed in a unanimous voice vote when it was brought to the Senate floor for consideration.
“This is just a flag, planted on a hill,” Lee said of his resolution. “What matters is where we carry it next.”
The resolution was filed in conjunction with the House by Utah Rep. Mike Kennedy, who represents the district where Utah Valley University, the site of Kirk’s death, is located. That version has not yet been scheduled for a vote.
The resolution comes just days before Kirk’s family will hold a memorial service for the conservative activist in his home state of Arizona, which is expected to attract a large number of high-profile politicians and celebrities.

Excerpt:
The Department of Homeland Security called on Democratic politicians, legacy media outlets, and left-wing organizations to stop “demonizing DHS law enforcement.”
The request comes less than a week after the assassination of conservative Republican activist and Turning Point USA Founder Charlie Kirk, and repeated attacks on ICE officers throughout the country, including two incidents over the last week.
“This hateful rhetoric is inspiring political violence in our country and assaults against our brave DHS law enforcement,” read a release issued on Wednesday from the Department of Homeland Security.
DHS Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin asked left-wing politicians, activists, organizations and groups to halt the inflammatory rhetoric “before someone else is killed.”

Mayor to Mayor: A Conversation Between Bernie Sanders and Zohran Mamdani– www.thenation.com
Source Link
Excerpt:
US Senator Bernie Sanders started his career in electoral office in 1981, as the democratic socialist mayor of Burlington, Vermont. His surprise election victory attracted national attention and considerable skepticism among political insiders during what was the first year of Republican Ronald Reagan’s presidency. But Sanders proved to be a highly successful municipal leader, winning three reelection bids before his eventual election to the US House.
Now, 44 years after Sanders won his first mayoral term, Zohran Mamdani seeks to become the democratic socialist mayor of New York City. As the Democratic nominee in an overwhelmingly Democratic town, Mamdani leads in the polls and was just endorsed by New York Governor Kathy Hochul.
Sanders endorsed Mamdani before New York City’s June Democratic primary and has been an enthusiastic supporter ever since. When the senator from Vermont came to New York in early September to campaign with Mamdani, they had a few spare minutes to talk. A conversation about municipal politics and governance ensued, as the 33-year-old mayoral candidate quizzed the 84-year-old former mayor about campaigning in very different cities in very different times—and about the challenges, and the possibilities, that go with leading an American city in an era when the White House is anything but friendly. Mamdani and Sanders shared their conversation with The Nation, and we present it here.
