Former Trump Chief Strategist Stephen K. Bannon has declared a “holy war” against the “deep state” apparatus in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election, demanding that Americans become serious about taking the country back, and blasting ‘RINO’ Republicans for trying to stand in the way of President Donald Trump’s route back to the Oval Office.
The former Breitbart Executive Chairman turned host of the War Room, told the audience at the Turning Point USA Action Conference in Florida that Americans have to focus on the “election apparatuses” in the key states of Wisconsin, Georgia, and Arizona and to get behind the 45th President.

“This is a crusade: this is a holy war against the deep state. Donald Trump is our instrument for retribution… Donald Trump is our instrument for righteous indignation,” Bannon told the cheering audience, channeling the late Andrew Breitbart.
Bannon added he no longer wants to hear from RINOs such as Governor of Virginia Glenn Youngkin, or Governor of Georgia Brian Kemp after rumors circulated about both potentially entering the Republican primary.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The detention occurred in Poland on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, following the 2022 explosions that damaged the Nord Stream pipelines in the Baltic Sea.
💬KEY QUOTE: “The defense currently does not see any possibility of bringing charges against anyone who participated in these activities.” – Tymoteusz Paprocki
🎯IMPACT: The explosions severely damaged energy supply supplies to the European Union (EU), forcing the bloc to seek alternative, more expensive sources.

Poland has detained a Ukrainian man, identified as Volodymyr Z., over alleged involvement in the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions. The arrest followed a European Arrest Warrant (EAW) issued by a German court, as reported by The National Pulse in August last year.
Volodymyr, reportedly a diving instructor, was detained on Tuesday. His Polish lawyer, Tymoteusz Paprocki, insisted that there were no grounds to extradite his client to Germany. Paprocki added, “In general, considering the full-scale war in Ukraine and the fact that Nord Stream is owned by the Russian company Gazprom, which finances these activities, the defence currently does not see any possibility of bringing charges against anyone who participated in these activities.”
The September 2022 explosions largely destroyed the undersea pipelines designed to deliver gas to the European Union (EU) direct from Russia, rather than via Ukraine. Their destruction, which Western governments nonsensically blamed on Russia at first, forced EU governments to seek alternative, more expensive energy sources.
In August 2025, Italian authorities arrested another Ukrainian man, identified as Serhii K., who was suspected of coordinating attacks on the pipelines. German prosecutors alleged that Serhii and a group planted explosive devices near the Danish island of Bornholm, departing from Rostock, Germany, in a sailing yacht. He faced charges of collusion to cause an explosion, anti-constitutional sabotage, and destruction of critical infrastructure.
The explosions caused an estimated 800 million cubic metres of gas to escape. The pipelines were designed to deliver up to 110 billion cubic metres of gas annually to Germany.
Denmark and Sweden concluded the explosions were acts of sabotage but closed their investigations in February without identifying suspects.

❓WHAT HAPPENED: A New York Times/Siena poll reveals that nearly two-thirds of American voters oppose Democrats forcing a government shutdown over their spending demands.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The poll was conducted from September 22–27, with the government shutdown deadline looming at midnight Tuesday.
💬KEY QUOTE: “People that are smart see what’s happening. The Democrats are deranged,” said President Trump.
🎯IMPACT: The poll shows deep partisan divides, with Americans largely opposing a shutdown, and only a plurality of Democrats supporting the effort.
IN FULL
New data shows that nearly two-thirds of American voters oppose congressional Democrats’ efforts to force a government shutdown. Democrat leaders in the House and Senate have opposed Republican efforts to pass a “clean” short-term continuing resolution to avoid the funding lapse and buy time for lawmakers to finish appropriations for the coming year, instead issuing a list of radical demands—including healthcare for illegal immigrants—in exchange for their votes.
The survey, conducted by TheNew York Times/Siena, found 65 percent of voters believe Democrats should not shut down the government even if their demands are not met, while 27 percent disagree. Even among Democratic voters, only a plurality of 47 percent support the shutdown effort, compared to 43 percent who oppose it.
Congressional Democrats fare badly among Independent voters, with only 32 percent supporting a government shutdown. Just five percent of Republicans say they back Democrat efforts on Capitol Hill.
Notably, the data shows Democrats do not carry the blame for a shutdown alone. Voters also expressed ire with congressional Republicans and President Donald J. Trump. Bizarrely, Independent voters are twice as likely to blame Trump and Republicans as they are to blame Democrats if a shutdown occurs.
The standoff revolves around a disagreement over a short-term spending plan. Democrats are demanding an extension of Obamacare tax credits, which are set to expire at the end of the year. Millions of Americans rely on these credits to lower healthcare costs. Republicans, however, argue that extending the credits would lead to increased taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants.
President Trump, speaking Tuesday morning, warned that “a lot” of federal workers may be fired if the government shuts down, adding: “People that are smart see what’s happening. The Democrats are deranged.”
The poll puts Trump’s overall approval rating at 43 percent. Among Republican voters, he maintains very strong support, with roughly 90 percent approving of his performance.
❓WHAT HAPPENED: The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is continuing to label Turning Point USA (TPUSA) as an organization of “Extremism, Hate or Terrorism” following the assassination of its founder, Charlie Kirk, while defending the Antifa movement, recently designated as a terrorist organization.

📍WHEN & WHERE: September 2025, following Kirk’s assassination.
💬KEY QUOTE: “TPUSA was connected to many controversial incidents including problematic comments by TPUSA spokespeople or activists.” – ADL Glossary
🎯IMPACT: The ADL’s partisan actions have sparked calls for federal action against the organization, including the removal of its tax-exempt status.
IN FULL
Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk’s assassination on September 10, 2025, allegedly by radical leftist Tyler Robinson, while engaging students in debate on Utah Valley University’s campus, has not moved the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) to remove his organization from its list of “Extremism, Hate or Terrorism” groups. However, it continues to defend the Antifa movement, which President Donald J. Trump has designated as a terrorist organization, and insists it is generally not violent.
In its glossary entry for TPUSA, labelled under ‘Extremism, Hate or Terrorism,’ the ADL smears the conservative youth organization as promoting “conspiracy theories related to topics such as election fraud and COVID-19,” and alleges individual associated with it “have a history of bigoted statements about the Black community, the LGBTQ community and specifically transgender people, and other minority groups.”
The ADL also says that “white nationalists openly have attended their events” and that “extremists and far-right conspiracy theorists have been featured at the AmericaFest conference and other TPUSA events,” despite a mealy-mouthed disclaimer that “Kirk himself publicly condemned such groups.”
Meanwhile, it claims the Antifa organization is merely a “decentralized, leaderless movement composed of loose collections of groups, networks and individuals,” insisting: “While some extreme actors who claim to be affiliated with antifa do engage in violence or vandalism at rallies and events, this is not the norm.”
“Persistent disinformation campaigns about antifa distort public perception of the movement,” it complains.
The ADL’s obstinate, partisan stance in the wake of Kirk’s assassination has caused conservatives to call for action against it, with Kenny Cody of Human Events writing, “Out in the open, the Anti-Defamation League is labeling conservative activism amongst the youth as extremist, and now the ADL has blood on its hands… Whether it be through congressional action or emanating from the top of the executive branch, the ADL should lose its tax-exempt status and any federal funding to which the group has access.”

📍WHEN & WHERE: The ruling was issued late Monday in Washington, D.C., and the cuts were set to take effect Tuesday.
🎯IMPACT: The ruling delays the reduction in force and maintains operations at the U.S. Agency for Global Media while legal challenges are addressed.
IN FULL
U.S. District Court Judge Royce Lamberth has temporarily blocked the Trump administration’s plan to cut 532 jobs at the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM), which oversees Voice of America (VOA). The cuts, which were scheduled to take effect Tuesday, represent the majority of the agency’s remaining full-time staff.
Judge Lamberth, a Ronald Reagan appointee, issued the ruling late Monday to preserve the status quo while the court considers a motion from plaintiffs to block the reduction in force. Acting CEO Kari Lake had announced the job cuts last month.
Previously, Lamberth ordered the Trump administration to restore VOA’s programming to meet its statutory mandate to provide reliable news. He also blocked Lake from removing VOA Director Michael Abramowitz and criticized the administration for showing “concerning disrespect” toward the court’s earlier orders.
VOA employees sued to stop the agency’s dismantling, arguing that the planned reductions would undermine the court’s ability to enforce its injunction. “This Court should therefore preserve the status quo while the parties litigate compliance,” their attorneys stated. Meanwhile, Department of Justice (DOJ) lawyers argued that halting the cuts would improperly interfere with the agency’s operations, calling it “a wholly overbroad and improper remedy.”

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: PresidentTrump, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, and American patients.
📍WHEN & WHERE: Announcement made on Tuesday from the Oval Office.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Pfizer is one of the biggest, greatest in the world.” – Donald Trump
🎯IMPACT: Pfizer shares increased by 3.5 percent following the announcement.
IN FULL
Americans will soon have the opportunity to purchase prescription drugs directly from a new government website, dubbed “TrumpRx,” which will provide discounted drugs to consumers. President Donald J. Trump and members of his administration announced the site at the same time as a deal with pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, cutting drug prices for Americans and securing $70 billion in investment.
While specifics on the prescriptions available on TrumpRx are still to be explained in detail, President Trump indicated that at least some of Pfizer’s drugs would be offered on the new platform. The America First leader, speaking alongside Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, said that the U.S. will benefit from the “lowest price” globally under a most-favored-nations system, addressing the long-standing issue of American consumers subsidizing global research and development costs.
.@Pfizer CEO @AlbertBourla: The big winner of this deal clearly will be the American patient — there’s no doubt about it. They are the ones that will see significant impact in their ability to buy medicines… We are ready to UNLEASH our investment portfolio in this country. 🇺🇸 https://t.co/SDmcFItFKfpic.twitter.com/G9V32nxZOD
Bourla admitted that, until now, foreign governments have been allowing America to shoulder an unfair share of the burden in terms of funding research and development, and that President Trump’s tariffs have proved a powerful means of forcing reform.
Following the announcements, Pfizer’s stock saw a 3.5 percent increase, reflecting a positive market response to the deal.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Plans were detailed on Monday, with a shutdown potentially beginning at midnight on Tuesday across the United States.
🎯IMPACT: Federal agencies will furlough workers, pause economic data releases, and suspend certain services.
IN FULL
The Trump administration has begun outlining plans for which government services will be paused in the event of a federal shutdown beginning at midnight. Among the measures, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is expected to furlough 41 percent of its workforce, while other agencies plan to suspend various operations.
Unlike previous shutdowns, the administration has indicated it may use the funding lapse to implement mass layoffs and reduce the size of the federal government. According to a memo from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), training and onboarding of new federal employees will be prohibited during a shutdown, but those overseeing potential terminations will continue working. Furloughed employees will also be allowed to check government-issued emails for layoff notices.
Senator Gary Peters (D-MI), the top Democrat member of the Senate committee overseeing shutdown operations, criticized the administration’s approach, stating it “threatens to cause lasting damage to the country and the safety of the American people by mass firing nonpartisan, expert civil servants.”
The Department of Labor (DOL) announced that economic data releases, including the September employment report, would be suspended during a shutdown. Similarly, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) would halt GDP statistics reporting. However, crucial government benefits such as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid will remain unaffected, as they are funded through mandatory spending.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), backed by supplemental funding from the Inflation Reduction Act, will continue full operations. Meanwhile, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has stated medical care and benefits would continue, though cemetery maintenance would cease.

💬KEY QUOTE: “If women can make it excellent. If not, it is what it is. If that means no women qualify for some combat jobs, so be it.” – Pete Hegseth
🎯IMPACT: Hegseth’s policies aim to reinstate male standards for combat roles, overhaul definitions of toxic leadership, and remove anonymous reporting processes for harassment and discrimination complaints.
IN FULL
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth addressed over 800 senior military leaders at a Marine Corps base in Virginia, unveiling a series of new directives aimed at reversing policies on combat roles for women and redefining standards for leadership and conduct in the military. The meeting, held on Tuesday, marked a significant shift in Pentagon policies under President Donald J. Trump.
Hegseth stated that his directives would restore “a ruthless, dispassionate and common sense application of standards” that are “uniform, gender neutral and high.” He emphasized that combat roles would return to the “highest male standard only,” effectively reversing a 2015 directive that opened all combat roles to women. “If you do not meet the male level physical standards for combat positions … it’s time for a new position or a new profession,” he said.
.@SecWar announces new directives to ensure that every military Combat MOS and Combat Arms position will return “to the highest male standard only — because this job is life or death.”
The Secretary also criticized efforts to eliminate “toxic leadership” and claimed that definitions of hazing and bullying had been “weaponized” to undermine effective leaders. He announced a review of these definitions, aiming to empower leaders to enforce standards without fear of retribution. “Real, toxic leadership is promoting people based on immutable characteristics or quotas instead of based on merit,” Hegseth remarked.
Additionally, Hegseth revealed plans to reform the Pentagon Inspector General’s (IG) office and Equal Opportunity offices to prevent what he described as the “weaponization” of complaint processes. He stated that anonymous reporting for harassment and discrimination complaints would be eliminated, as well as “frivolous complaints” that he claimed have harmed reputations and careers.
The directives also include the implementation of a “1990 test,” which evaluates current military standards against those from 1990 to determine whether changes were necessary or the result of political priorities. Hegseth concluded by assuring military leaders that his reforms are designed to “put leadership back in the driver’s seat.”

Miguel Angel Garcia-Hernandez, 32, has died following a sniper attack on a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) field office in Dallas, Texas, according to the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC). Garcia-Hernandez was shot at least eight times during the September 24 attack and was taken to Parkland Hospital in critical condition. He passed away after being removed from life support.
His wife, Stephany Gauffeny, described him as a “good man, a loving father, and the provider for our family.” She added, “We had just bought our first home together, and he worked hard every single day to make sure our children had what they needed. His death is a senseless tragedy that has left our family shattered. I do not know how to explain to our children that their father is gone.”
Last week, Joshua Jahns—motivated by anti-ICE sentiment and far-left ideology—opened fire on the ICE field office and a van sitting in its portico. The indiscriminate fire struck three ICE detainees, killing one and wounding others, including Garcia-Hernandez. Jahns subsequently committed suicide but left a trail of evidence regarding his radical far-left political motivations.
A third victim, Jose Andres Bordones-Molina, has been released from hospital, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The Dallas ICE field office, which serves as a temporary holding facility for detainees, is expected to reopen on Tuesday with increased security measures.
The facility reportedly held an average of 47 detainees per day between January and mid-June, with migrants spending an average of seven hours in detention, according to ICE data.

🎯IMPACT: The investigation has raised concerns about foreign interference, domestic extremism, and the activities of groups like Armed Queers SLC and the Party for Socialism and Liberation.
IN FULL
Federal officials are probing potential extremist ties of Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old man accused of assassinating Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is examining whether Robinson, who had a transgender lover, had connections to Armed Queers SLC, a self-described militant LGBTQ organization advocating for “the armed and militant protection of queer and trans communities” and the establishment of a socialist society.
The group, founded by trans activist Ermiya Fanaeian in 2021, has been linked to socialist and communist ideologies. Social media posts from Armed Queers SLC, now deleted, reportedly showcased support for communist regimes and called for violence to end what they described as a “war against trans people.” Fanaeian, the son of Iranian immigrants, has also been connected to the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), which is alleged to receive funding from China-based businessman Neville Singham.
Charlie Kirk, 31, known for his outspoken opposition to gender ideology, was murdered on the Utah Valley University campus on September 10. Robinson turned himself in 33 hours later and reportedly confessed to his trans partner, Lance Twiggs, who cooperated with investigators. No charges have been brought against Twiggs, but the FBI continues to follow leads connecting Robinson to Armed Queers SLC.
Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL), a friend of Kirk’s, confirmed the FBI’s investigation into the group’s potential ties to foreign adversaries and questioned the swift deletion of Armed Queers SLC’s social media accounts following Kirk’s assassination. “Why did Armed Queers SLC delete their Instagram after Charlie was murdered?” Luna asked, adding that the group’s founder and PSL members have been documented visiting adversarial nations like Cuba and Venezuela.
Congressional investigators have also raised concerns about Neville Singham’s alleged funding of extremist groups, including PSL, and its potential ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). While no direct evidence has been made public linking Robinson to Armed Queers SLC, sources familiar with the investigation described the group as “domestic terrorists” and noted their foreign connections. The investigation remains ongoing.

More than 100,000 federal workers are set to resign on Tuesday, marking the largest mass resignation in U.S. history. The resignations are the conclusion of buyout agreements entered into with the Trump administration this past February, with the federal workers’ tenure set to end at the conclusion of the 2025 fiscal year.
Despite misleading reports, the resignations are not politically motivated nor are they new departures. Rather, the terminations were voluntarily agreed to months ago, with many of the federal workers either having already moved on to the private sector or using the intervening time to find new work. Notably, a number of the 100,000 employees—per their buyout agreements—have not worked for the federal government in any significant capacity for several months or more.
In addition to the scheduled resignations per the terms of the buyout agreements, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has warned that if a temporary federal government funding agreement in Congress is not reached before October 1, the agency will be laying off some non-essential workers in addition to furloughs.
With a potential government shutdown looming, President Donald J. Trump held eleventh-hour negotiations with Republican and Democratic congressional leaders at the White House on Monday evening. Despite the last-minute budget talks, most lawmakers on Capitol Hill have indicated that at least a short closure of some federal agencies is likely.
House and Senate Democrats have demanded that any short-term funding measure include hundreds of billions of dollars in healthcare funding for illegal immigrants and the repeal of certain provisions in President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act.”
