A bloody fight broke out near the University of California, Berkeley, on Monday afternoon, ahead of a Turning Point USA event on campus. The event, which featured Dr. Frank Turek and Rob Schneider, marked the end of the "This Is The Turning Point" tour. It took place just two months after TPUSA's founder, Charlie Kirk, was assassinated at a campus event in Utah on Sept. 10. The confrontation erupted at around 4:30 PST. During the brawl, two men were seen fighting each other, one of whom had blood gushing from his face...
#2 US Senate Passes Funding Bill as Historic Shutdown Nears Likely End - Ana Faguy for BBC, The Patriot Oasis, Dawn.com, The Tatva, Cruxfeed, Bob Wickham, and Report News Agency on X
The US Senate has passed a crucial funding bill that could bring the longest government shutdown in history to an end within days. The bill passed in a 60-40 vote late on Monday, with nearly all Republicans joining eight Democrats who splintered from the party to approve it. The deal funds the government until the end of January. The House of Representatives will now have to pass the bill before President Donald Trump can sign it into effect. Trump signalled he would be willing to do so earlier on Monday. The deal came to fruition over the weekend, after some Democrats joined Republicans and negotiated an agreement to get federal employees back to work and essential services restarted...
#3 Jon Stewart Rips Into Democrats for Caving on Government Shutdown: “World-Class Collapse” - Natalie Oganesyan for DEADLINE, SCMcGee Never Give Up On Hope, Lux Singularity, BeagleJack, AnonymousAccountYesItIs, and Ender Knox on X
Much like the slogan behind a certain brand of margarine, Jon Stewart “can’t fucking believe” the Democrats caved on the longest government shutdown in history, which officially ended earlier today with the passage of legislation to keep the machine running until January, thanks to eight Democrats who joined the ranks of their Republican colleagues. The Daily Show host repeated the phrase throughout Monday’s episode, saying, “By the way, tonight’s show will be brought to you by: I can’t fucking believe it. I can’t fucking believe it: For when the ‘I can’t believe it’ Edvard Munch scream emoji doesn’t quite convey how much you cannot fucking believe it.”
#4 Trump Addresses Financial Concerns of Air Traffic Controllers Working Without Pay for More Than 40 Days - Zoë Richards for NBC News, Laura Ingraham, It's Not Business As Usual, Open Outcrier, Dayton 24/7 Now, NBC4 Washington, and Greig Murry on X
President Donald Trump on Monday reiterated criticism of air traffic controllers who have been absent during parts of the record-long government shutdown, when they’re required to work without pay. During a Fox News interview, Trump discussed the employees who, in some cases, have had to take on second jobs to pay their bills amid a funding lapse that will hit the six-week mark on Tuesday. “You know, a lot of people who showed up also had a second job. They took a second job temporarily. But they all know the money’s coming, and the money was coming," Trump told host Laura Ingraham...
#5 Proposed Hemp Ban Tucked Into Federal Funding Bill Could Stall End to Government Shutdown - Josh Christenson for New York Post, Senator Rand Paul/The Patriot Oasis, Texas Hemp Business Council, Senator Ted Cruz/Tony Buzbee, Cannabis Hemp Heritage Act, Alex Gentry, and Dan Patrick on X
A proposed hemp ban that threatens to end the sale of scores of popular THC gummies, vapes, and even beverages is tucked into a government funding bill — and could stall lawmakers’ efforts to end the longest-ever shutdown in US history. The Senate will be voting on a full-year funding measure as part of its deal to end the shutdown — and the plan would also prohibit the unregulated sale of “intoxicating hemp-based or hemp-derived products, including Delta-8, from being sold online, in gas stations, and corner stores, while preserving non-intoxicating CBD and industrial hemp products.” President Donald Trump on Monday asked the US Supreme Court to review the $5 million civil case that found he sexually abused and defamed magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll. Last year, a federal appeals court affirmed the jury’s verdict and $5 million judgment against Trump, ruling the trial judge did not make errors that would warrant a new trial. In June, Trump lost an effort to have the appeal reviewed by the full bench of judges. Trump has claimed Judge Lewis Kaplan, who oversaw the civil trial, made numerous errors by allowing the jury to hear testimony from two women who alleged Trump sexually assaulted them years ago... While the nation fixates on political theater and budget brinkmanship, two Arizona men — Randy and Chad Miller — are preparing to report to federal prison on November 18. Their story, ignored by the mainstream media, reads like a case study in what happens when business failure collides with politics, media bias, and the weaponization of the justice system. The Millers, founders of Legacy Sports USA, built what became the largest privately developed youth sports complex in the country. The project, known as Bell Bank Park in Mesa, drew over five million visitors in its first year. It hosted national tournaments, community events, and even a 2022 Trump rally attended by 15,000 people. It was a bold, uniquely American venture... President Donald Trump has proposed creating 50-year mortgages to solve the housing affordability crisis, an idea that has provoked strong debate about the pros and cons of longer-term loans for homebuyers. Trump floated the idea over the weekend on his Truth Social site, where he posted an image touting himself as the creator of the 50-year mortgage. The image also showed former President Franklin Roosevelt, who oversaw the initial creation of fixed-rate mortgages during the Great Depression. Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte, the nation's top mortgage regulator, seemed to confirm the plans in a post on X, writing: "Thanks to President Trump, we are indeed working on The 50-year Mortgage—a complete game changer." Hormone therapies for menopause will no longer carry a black box warning about serious risks such as breast cancer, heart attack, and stroke, the Food and Drug Administration announced Monday. In the announcement and an accompanying editorial in the medical journal JAMA, FDA Commissioner Marty Makary and other agency officials said the warnings are based on outdated science and have discouraged women from taking hormone therapy. The medications are commonly prescribed to treat menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, difficulty sleeping, urinary tract infections, and vaginal dryness, and to reduce bone fractures. They replace estrogen and progesterone — hormones that decline during menopause — and come in the form of pills, patches, gels, and creams... President Donald Trump on Monday said that MAGA-aligned Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., had “lost her way” with her criticism of the administration’s focus on foreign policy. “I don’t know what happened to Marjorie. She’s a nice woman, but I don’t know what happened. She’s lost her way, I think,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office. “But I have to view the presidency as a worldwide situation, not locally. I mean, we could have a world that’s on fire, where wars come to our shores very easily, if you had a bad president,” he added. Asked about Trump's comments, Greene said in a statement: “I haven’t lost my way. I’m 100% America first and only!”
