Stephen Miller is an ideologue on a mission to reshape the world. But his appointment has a silver lining for Democrats
It was, as the Guardian's David Smith put it, a "middle finger to millions of American voters".
A clear signal that the president has no intention of spending the remainder of his presidency trying to reach across the aisle and reconcile with his political adversaries.
Rather, he seems intent on burning everything down. And in Miller he has found the perfect arsonist.
Bloomberg reported at least 11 deaths by suicide in the year through September as military commanders have since tightened shift rules for cyber staff and expanded access to mental health care.
One day at an Idaho hospital, half the newborns Dr. Tom Patterson saw didn't get the vitamin K shots that have been given to babies for decades to prevent potentially deadly bleeding. On another recent day, more than a quarter didn't get the shot. Their parents wouldn't allow it. "When you look at a child who's innocent and vulnerable -- and a simple intervention that's been done since 1961 is refused -- knowing that baby's going out into the world is super worrisome to me," said Patterson, who's been a pediatrician for nearly three decades.
A college Republican coalition claiming 31 affiliated student groups in 14 states that attacked the Trump administration from the right routed its email through the same Microsoft 365 account as a company controlled by white nationalist Nick Fuentes. Until Monday morning, Microsoft's public sign-in records put the College Republican Patriot Coalition (CRPC)'s web domain in an account registered to NJF LLC, a Fuentes-managed company that also runs his personal website and online store. By Monday evening, hours after the Guardian sent questions to Fuentes and the coalition, the domain no longer appeared in that account, and a Microsoft verification code had been deleted from its settings. Fuentes's own domains remained in the account. The organization has hinted at ties with Fuentes in the past, but no operational link has been definitively shown until now.
The Consumer Price Index increased 0.4% in October after a 0.6% increase in September, according to a report released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics on Tuesday. Inflation came in hotter than expected, with economists predicting October prices would be up 0.3% month-over-month. The news is not good for American families continuing to struggle with affordability, and shows exactly why Republicans were obliterated in the midterm elections last week. The report also increases the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates again for the second time this year before year's end, with Fed governors stating they would watch the October CPI report to make a determination.
At least 10 US Air Force refuelling aircraft left a second airbase in Britain on Monday. Flight tracking data seen by BBC Verify shows the aircraft left RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk and landed at other American bases in Europe and also at Prestwick Airport in Ayrshire. The Wall Street Journal reported that this was in response to a threat from Iran but the BBC has not independently verified that claim. Monday's departures come weeks after the US withdrew its bombers from RAF Fairford airbase over a suspected Iran-linked security incident. Asked about Monday's flights, an MoD spokesperson told the BBC: "We do not routinely comment on the activity of other nations. Aircraft and other assets move regularly according to operational requirements." Using public tracking site Flightradar24 BBC Verify has been able to see USAF KC-135 tankers leaving Mildenhall throughout Monday.
Former second-rate Faux News weekend host SECWAR Pete Hegseth " a racist and a misogynist -- used Google "woke" searches to deny promotions to black and female senior officers, short-circuiting the well-established merit-based process for promotion. The worst US Secretary of Defense in intergalactic history-- an alcoholic and alleged war criminal who blundered the US into an endless bankrupting quagmire against the people of Iran to benefit Israel -- had his inner circle of pit fiends conduct internet searches of promotable officers to create paper-only files assessing their "wokeness." The March 2025 "Signalgate" scandal also exposed Pete Hegseth as both an incompetent leader and a counterintelligence nightmare for the USG.

A new Republican group thinks their party is too old, too moderate and too weak. So they're launching an effort to replace the outgoing generation of politicians with a younger crop of America First-aligned lawmakers.
The "great replacement" described by Renaud Camus is a reality that Jean-Luc Mlenchon, the leader of France Unbowed, acknowledges" indeed welcomes "by suggesting that a "new" Muslim France is taking shape. American and Israeli flags are burned and trampled. Palestinian flags are seen everywhere. They have become a symbol of a destructive and murderous intent not only toward Israel and Jews " with Jewish-owned businesses specifically targeted " but also of support for violence against French authorities and a rejection of Western civilization.

Vastly underqualified Marco Rubio (R), vetted by mega-oligarch Larry Ellison to be a place-holder USSECSTATE, apparently sabotaged his own chances of being a 2028 GOP POTUS candidate by bleating to a Mar-a-Lago mob that Dummkopf Trumpf launched the idiotic Iran war "for you." Wrote a Republican opinion maker: "Rubio just destroyed his 2028 presidential hopes by essentially echoing Trumpf's statement that the destruction of the GOP was worth it to fight the Iran War and these jokers applauded him. Trumpf, Rubio, and Pete Hegseth should resign in disgrace or be impeached and removed from office."
