Hamas is trying to send a clear message that, after months of hiding from Israeli fire, the militant group is back as the only visible authority inside the Gaza Strip, according to rival militia leaders, Palestinian officials and political analysts. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

Israel should not count on European leaders quickly forgetting the deaths of tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza, even if Donald Trump’s peace deal succeeds in ending the war. www.politico.eu/article/isra...

Hamas has yet to agree to terms calling for the group to disarm and forgo any role in the future governance of Gaza — key demands of Netanyahu. There are also questions about how the next steps of the peace plan would be implemented. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A federal judge in Portland blocked President Trump from sending National Guard troops from any state to the Oregon city during protests against his immigration crackdown, doubling down on a narrower order issued a day earlier and expressing frustration with the DOJ www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Trump: Portland is burning to the ground—insurrectionists all over the place. The politicians are afraid for their lives. That’s the only reason they say there’s nothing happening.

Trump’s false claims about “war ravaged” Portland did not survive legal scrutiny in court, where a Trump-appointed federal judge on Saturday said the president’s determination “was simply untethered to the facts” www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Trump says federal troops are now “in place” in Portland to end “the Chaos, Death, and Destruction!” The image below is the ICE facility in SE Portland that Trump falsely says is under siege. The photo was taken Wednesday morning by the Oregonian www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

Armed federal agents in military fatigues busted down doors overnight, pulling men, women and children from their apartments, some naked. Agents approached or entered nearly every apartment in the five-story building and US citizens were among those detained for hours www.wbez.org/immigration/...

Portland on Wednesday afternoon is drizzly and peaceful. There is no anarchy or rioting. Period. News outlets don’t need to hedge on this.

While cable news wildly exaggerates what is happening in Portland, here’s what’s going on in Portland today

It’s called lying www.cnn.com/2025/09/30/u...

Trump defends use of U.S. military against 'enemy within' www.npr.org/2025/09/30/n...

“By its very nature, this meritless lawsuit threatens to chill the speech of those who dare to publish content that the President does not like,” Murdoch and News Corp. said in a motion to dismiss Trump’s $10 billion libel suit in federal court in Miami. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Michael R. Bloomberg: “The overwhelming majority of Americans of all political persuasions are horrified by the shooting, and the shooter’s hatred should not be projected onto others as a pretext for repressing political opposition and free speech” www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Investigators have yet to find a link between the alleged shooter and left-wing groups, three people familiar with the federal probe into Kirk’s assassination told NBC News. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

At the beginning of his second term, Trump signed an executive order banning the government from “any conduct that would unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen.” www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Charlie Kirk made a name for himself by exercising his constitutional right to free speech, including speech that upset and deeply offended many other people. That’s America. Or, at least, it was.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent once agreed to occupy two different houses as his “principal residence” at the same time, mortgage documents show — the same kind of contradictory pledges that Trump has been using to try to oust Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The suggestion that a secret network of violent left-wing extremists was behind Kirk’s killing stands in contrast to the evidence presented by law enforcement. There has been no indication so far that Tyler Robinson was a member of a group or swayed by a leader www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi...

Has anyone asked Kash Patel to define left wing ideology? Super curious.

The property tax authority in Ann Arbor, Michigan, told Reuters that Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook hasn’t broken rules for tax breaks on a home there that Cook declared her primary residence. www.reuters.com/world/us/no-...

Right-wing Trump ally Laura Loomer is leading the charge agaisnt the Left in defense of Charlie Kirk. Yet just a few months ago she attacked Kirk online, calling him a “charlatan” and “political opportunist” who engaged in “mental gymnastics” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
