Lake: How does a 22-year-old become so filled with hate? Five years earlier I was told he was a Trump supporter and we send our kids off to college and they brainwashed them. I am making a plea to mothers. Do not send your children into these indoctrination camps. Do not do it pic.twitter.com/DC0d1S7043- Acyn (@Acyn) September 15, 2025
Calling herself a "staunch capitalist," she said she would sit down soon with Mamdani and make some things clear. "The city of New York, as powerful and mighty as it is, is still a subdivision of the state, so any tax increase has to come across my desk first." Mamdani, of course, campaigned on tax increases including a new tax on millionaires and an increase in the state's corporate tax rate.
On Monday, Trump took questions from reporters in the Oval Office, where Brian Glenn of Real America's Voice asked the president about a possible reprimand. Ilhan Omar, after his assassination, called Charlie Kirk a reprehensible human being,' Glenn said. Should she be stripped of her committee assignments? Glenn appeared to be referring to a viral video that Omar reposted in which the creator called Kirk a reprehensible human being.
This summer, Steve Witkoff, President Trump's Middle East envoy, paid a visit to the coast of Sardinia, a stretch of the Mediterranean Sea crowded with super yachts. On one of those extravagant vessels, Mr. Witkoff sat down with a member of the ultrarich ruling family of the United Arab Emirates. He was meeting Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan, a trim figure in dark glasses who controls $1.5 trillion of the Emiratis' sovereign wealth.
Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

That led some in MAGA to question whether Patel was capable of leading the Kirk investigation, much less the crackdowns on political violence the movement desires. What they're saying: Patel "performed terribly in the last few days, and it's not clear whether he has the operational expertise to investigate, infiltrate, and disrupt the violent movements - of whatever ideology - that threaten the peace in the United States," right-wing writer Christopher Rufo wrote on X.
Throughout the day, people described federal agents taking cellphones from workers and putting them in long lines ... Some workers hid for hours to avoid capture in air ducts or remote areas of the sprawling property. The Department of Justice said some hid in a nearby sewage pond.
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
In addition, Pittman is caught in a legal morass about whether the Supreme Court's 2002 prohibition on executing the intellectually disabled applies retroactively. In 2016, the Florida Supreme Court ruled that it should. That would have given Pittman a chance to have his case reconsidered. Butbefore that could happen, as the Tampa Bay Times reports, "the Florida Supreme Court-which had since become more conservative with the retirement of three longtime justices regarded as liberal-reversed themselves, declaring that the Atkins ruling did not apply retroactively."
Trump has recently renewed his attacks on Jerome Powell, the chair of the Fed, following a sharp slowdown in job growth throughout the summer. He has also demanded a bigger rate cut than Powell and his colleagues on the Federal Open Market Committee (F.O.M.C.), which holds eight scheduled meetings each year to determine monetary policy, are likely to deliver, though that is the least of his efforts to exert control over the central bank.
However, Channel 4 is dedicating its Wednesday night schedule to unpicking what it describes as the falsehoods expressed by Trump since taking office in a broadcast that insiders said would last several hours. Trump v The Truth, starting at 10pm, is expected to cover everything from the president's false boast that his administration had stopped $50m being sent to Gaza to buy condoms for Hamas, to his debunked claim to have sent Ukraine more than $300bn (220bn) in wartime aid.
Donald Trump on Monday announced that he was sending in the national guard and other federal authorities into Memphis, in a replica of the administration's expanding military-led response to urban crime in Democratic-run cities. Announcing the taskforce in an Oval Office meeting, Trump vowed to end the savagery and said Chicago was probably next. We're going to fix that just like we did Washington, Trump said.
I have just read a News Report that Hamas has moved the hostages above ground to use them as human shields against Israel's ground offensive, the president posted on Truth Social. I hope the Leaders of Hamas know what they're getting into if they do such a thing. This is a human atrocity, the likes of which few people have ever seen before. Don't let this happen or, ALL BETS' ARE OFF. RELEASE ALL HOSTAGES NOW!
