ABC News let loose with the incendiary and inciting rhetoric against President Trump during Wednesday’s edition of The View. The liberal ladies continued to lie about taxpayers footing the bill for the new White House ballroom that was under construction. According to them, Trump was playing some sort of shell game with his presidential salary and legal fees to cover the construction that made him equal to a “mob boss.” They also suggested Republicans were going to steal the midterms and the ballroom was proof Trump wasn’t going to leave office.

FRESNO, CA — The Fresno County Board of Supervisors has approved a steep increase in fees for concealed carry (CCW) permits, raising new concerns among Second Amendment advocates that the rising cost of lawful carry is pricing some citizens out of their right to self-defense.

On October 21, 2025, the Board voted to amend the county’s Master Schedule of Fees for the Sheriff-Coroner-Public Administrator’s Office. The changes include a 65% increase for new CCW permits — from $115 to $190 plus state fees — and a 200% increase for renewals, which will now cost $75 plus state fees. The modification or add-on fee remains at $10 per permit.

Cigna, UnitedHealthcare and Oscar Health are among health insurers expanding their market footprint selling individual health insurance under the Affordable Care Act despite the lack of commitment from Congress to tax credits that would make policies more affordable.

While the costs of these health plans could increase 100% or more if Congress doesn’t extend tax credits beyond this year, several major health insurers are expanding into new geographic areas and offering more health plan options for next year.

The expansions by health insurers come amid a federal government shutdown that has entered a third week. And extending the tax credits beyond this year are at the center of the standoff between Republicans who control Congress and are largely opposed to the subsidies and Democrats who support them.

Democratic Senate hopeful Graham Platner is in damage control mode — again — after admitting that a tattoo on his chest looks eerily similar to a Nazi symbol.

The Maine Democrat, already reeling from a wave of backlash over old social media posts, now says he’ll have the ink removed and insists he had “no idea” of its connection to Nazi iconography.

“It was not until I started hearing from reporters and DC insiders that I realized this tattoo resembled a Nazi symbol,” Platner said in a statement to POLITICO. “I absolutely would not have gone through life having this on my chest if I knew that — and to insinuate that I did is disgusting. I am already planning to get this removed.”

As of 10:00 a.m., Wednesday morning, Sen. Merkley was still speaking on the Senate floor.

Several Democratic Senators praised the speech, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, and Senators Andy Kim of New Jersey, Tina Smith of Minnesota, and Chris Van Hollenof Maryland.

White House Spokeswoman Deputy Press Secretary Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital, “Democrats will do anything except vote to open the government. A useless overnight floor speech that no one watched will do nothing to help the millions of Americans who are missing paychecks, losing out on important benefits, or being otherwise harmed by the Democrat’s decision to shut down the government over free health care for illegal aliens.”

Alaska’s new social studies standards don’t mention the Nome Gold Rush. They don’t mention the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. They don’t mention William Egan, the state of Alaska’s first governor, and they don’t mention Sarah Palin, who ran for Vice President of the United States. There’s a lot more that’s missing in the Alaska social studies standards, but you can tell right away that something is wrong when Alaska’s social studies standards leave Alaska’s children ignorant of the headlines of Alaska’s history and the most famous Alaskans.

Donald Trump could “topple” a weakened Russia and Vladimir Putin but has “chosen not to” for a disturbing reason, a former staffer has sensationally claimed. Anthony Scaramucci raised millions of dollars for the US president’s first election campaign in 2016 before becoming his White House director of communications.

He was fired after just 11 days when he slammed colleagues in a conversation he wrongly thought was off the record – and has since turned his fire on Mr Trump to become one of his biggest critics. While he says there is “good Trump and bad Trump” and that he admires some aspects of the Republican’s character, Mr Scaramucci believes his ex-boss’s relationship with Putin is a cause for concern.

SEOUL, South Korea — SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korea fired a ballistic missile in an eastward direction on Wednesday, South Korea’s military said, the North’s first weapons testing activity in about five months.

North Korea usually test-launches missiles in the waters between the Korean Peninsula and Japan, causing no damage in neighboring countries. But the Joint Chiefs of Staff statement only said the latest missile was launched in an eastward direction.

Plants self-organize in a ‘hidden order,’ echoing pattern found across nature– www.livescience.com

Scientists have uncovered a “hidden order” in drylands across the planet, where plants follow disordered hyperuniformity — a layout that looks random and disorganized up close but adheres to a clear pattern when viewed from farther away.

The findings explain phenomena like “tiger bush” in West Africa, where bands of plants look like tiger stripes from above, or “fairy circles” in Namibia that look like spots from far away but are actually clumps of plants. These plants are self-organized in a way that helps them cope with drought and function in extreme conditions.
