Murdoch OUT! News Corp, Fox Mogul Steps Down After Decades.

Rupert Murdoch is stepping down from his roles as the chairman of the Fox Corporation and the executive chairman at News Corp. The Australian billionaire will serve as chairman emeritus at both companies.

In a letter to colleagues, Murdoch announced that his son, Lachlan, would become the sole chairman of both media companies. “For my entire professional life, I have been engaged daily with news and ideas, and that will not change. But the time is right for me to take on different roles, knowing that we have truly talented teams and a passionate, principled leader in Lachlan who will become sole Chairman of both companies,” Murdoch wrote.

ICE Detention Policy Heading to SCOTUS After Being Compared to Japanese Internment by Biden Judge.

The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals has struck down ICE’s detention policy, setting the stage for a Supreme Court review.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) policy on detaining migrants without bond, comparing it to the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. The decision marks the ninth consecutive loss for ICE in federal appeals courts regarding this policy.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Mass detention of marginalized individuals without due process harkens back to some of the darkest moments in our country’s history,” complained Joe Biden appointee Judge Nicole Berner, joined by Barack Obama appointee Judge Barbara Keenan in a 2-1 opinion.
🎯 IMPACT: The ruling sets the stage for the Supreme Court to address the legality of ICE’s detention policy, which has been a point of contention for multiple federal courts. The decision could have significant implications for immigration enforcement in the U.S.
📰 DETAIL: The policy in question was a shift by ICE in July 2025, which expanded mandatory detention to migrants residing in the U.S. for years, stopping them from being left among the public at large while their claims work their way through the courts. This change led to numerous lawfare suits, with over 460 largely but not exclusively liberal federal judges opposing the policy. In comparison, a little over 50 have backed the policy.
👀 FLASHBACK: The 1996 immigration reform law which ICE’s policy is based on was initially interpreted to require detention of recent border crossers, not long-term residents. The Trump administration’s reinterpretation has been widely contested in the courts by pro-migrant activists.

UK Govt Feared ‘Extreme Right’ Would ‘Push Pro-Free Speech Narratives’ After Charlie Kirk Assassination.

A leaked memo reveals a British government’s counter-extremism unit monitored Charlie Kirk supporters after his assassination and downplayed left-wing reactions to his assassination.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Newly disclosed documents show that a British government counter-extremism unit closely monitored online reactions to Charlie Kirk’s assassination on September 10, 2025, and assessed its potential impact on political discourse. A September 11, 2025 memo produced by the Home Office’s Research, Information, and Communications Unit (RICU), classified as “Official Sensitive,” examined social media activity from groups it labeled “Extreme Right-Wing,” “Left-Wing and Single Issue,” and Islamists.
📰 DETAIL: RICU identified about 2,000 posts from the so-called “Extreme Right-Wing” discussing Kirk’s assassination in the memo, uncovered by independent reporter Steven Edginton, including 557 posts across 6,385 channels monitored in Britain. Officials said right-wing activists were likely to portray the assassination as an attack on conservatives and warned that figures including Tommy Robinson could use it to “push pro-free speech narratives.” RICU also monitored Turning Point UK, the British offshoot of Kirk’s Turning Point USA organization. The memo initially characterized left-wing reactions as “moderate”, but later acknowledged that responses had “broadly been celebratory,” including memes mocking Kirk’s death and posts highlighting his support for gun rights. Sarah Rogers, a U.S. State Department official who previously represented Kirk on First Amendment matters, along with Alliance Defending Freedom counsel Lorcán Price and Free Speech Union director Lord  Toby Young, questioned why British counter-extremism officials were monitoring lawful political responses to Kirk’s assassination.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “There is nothing ‘extreme’ about ‘pushing pro free speech narratives.’” – Sarah Rogers, Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy
🎯 IMPACT: Free speech advocates criticized RICU for labeling right-wing activity as “Extreme Right-Wing” while using the less severe “Left-Wing and Single Issue” designation for left-wing activity, arguing that the distinction reflects a double standard and deep-seated government bias. “This memo clearly shows that RICU was monitoring lawful speech from British citizens raising reasonable concerns—such as that Left-wing accounts celebrated Mr Kirk’s murder online,” observed Alliance Defending Freedom legal counsel Lorcán Price.

Trump Announces $500 Refunds for Americans ‘Ripped Off’ by Obamacare.

President Donald J. Trump has unveiled a plan to issue $500 refunds to nearly one million Americans overcharged under Obamacare, with checks expected just ahead of the midterm elections.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J. Trump has announced that nearly one million Americans in 30 states will receive $500 refunds due to overcharges under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
📺 DETAIL: U.S. citizens in the states of Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Delaware, New Hampshire, Texas, Wisconsin, South Carolina, Michigan, Ohio, Mississippi, and Missouri are expected to be the primary recipients. President Trump described the policy as reimbursement for being “wrongly ripped off” by the ACA, also known as Obamacare. The policy is part of the Trump administration’s proposed “Great Health Care Plan,” which aims to reduce premiums by providing direct payments to citizens. The money for refunds will be drawn from a $500 million fund of excess fees collected from ACA enrollees. The refunds will be issued shortly before the midterm elections. This follows the end of ACA’s enhanced premium subsidies, which expired at the end of last year.
🎯 IMPACT: The refunds are expected to provide financial relief to Americans facing rising healthcare costs. This suggests that the Trump administration is increasingly focused on affordability, an issue which Americans regularly rank as a top political priority. The refunds may serve as an incentive to vote Republican in the midterm elections, which are scheduled for November. The policy is likely to be well-received by Americans most impacted by the expiration of ACA premium subsidies.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “Our administration has discovered that under Sleepy Joe Biden, American households buying health insurance through the Obamacare exchange, which is a disaster, and the Healthcare.gov [website], were massively overcharged, to put it mildly… Our administration is doing the right thing in giving the money back to the people who were wrongly ripped off,” said President Trump in a video posted to X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday.
📺 FLASHBACK: According to federal data published earlier this year, Obamacare enrollment dropped by 2.9 million in February. The drop in enrollment has been attributed to the Trump administration’s crackdown on insurance fraud, which forms part of a wider crackdown on waste, fraud, and abuse across government.

Trump-Hating Politician Planning Bid to Follow Sadiq Khan as London Mayor.

Anti-Trump former Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy is allegedly planning to run for London Mayor if current Mayor Sadiq Khan stands down.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Anti-Trump Labour Member of Parliament (MP) David Lammy is reportedly floating a run for London Mayor.
📺 DETAIL: On Thursday, it was reported that David Lammy, the former Deputy Prime Minister and Justice Secretary under former Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, is considering a run for London Mayor. This follows reports earlier this month that Lammy could seek the Labour Party nomination if the incumbent, Sadiq Khan, stands down before the next mayoral election. Lammy allegedly hosted a SME4Labour (Small and Medium Enterprises for Labour) fundraising dinner on Wednesday night as a testing ground for a future mayoral bid. However, when pressed on the purpose of the event, Lammy claimed that the funds would go towards defending his Tottenham seat at the next general election. The former Deputy Prime Minister did not officially rule out running. “I am not sure he can even count on support from his local party in Tottenham for his future ambitions in London,” said a Labour Party source. Lammy is known for his extreme opposition to President Donald J. Trump. Lammy has characterized the U.S. President as a “neo-Nazi sympathizing sociopath” and a “racist KKK and Nazi sympathizer.” He has also referred to the MAGA movement as a “cult of white supremacists.”
🎯 IMPACT: If Lammy decides to run, this will be his second run for London Mayor, having first sought to become the Labour candidate for the 2016 mayoral election. Lammy ultimately lost the nomination to Khan and placed fourth. In the event that Khan does stand down and Lammy manages to get the Labour nomination, there is a good chance that he will be elected as the next Mayor of London in 2028. This could further drive a wedge between the British capital and the U.S. President, who has repeatedly criticized Khan’s leadership.
📺 FLASHBACK: Prime Minister Andy Burnham endorsed Khan for a historic fourth term as London Mayor earlier this month. This is despite the fact that the vast majority of Londoners want him to resign. Specifically, according to a recent poll by YouGov, 56 percent of Londoners believe that Khan should step down as Mayor, including 31 percent of Londoners who voted for him in 2024. “He’s a disaster. He’s got a totally different ideology to what he’s supposed to have,” said President Trump regarding the Mayor last year.

European Union Mulls Punishing German Region for Electing Populists.

The European Union is contemplating withholding funds from Saxony-Anhalt following Alternative for Germany’s win in its regional elections, alleging potential breaches of EU principles.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The European Union (EU) is considering freezing funds allocated to Saxony-Anhalt after the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party’s election victory in the region.
📰 DETAIL: On Sunday, the AfD won its first state-wide victory ever in Saxony-Anhalt, as support for Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s notionally center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) plummeted. The AfD won almost 44 percent of the vote but fell three seats short of a majority in the Landtag, equivalent to a U.S. state legislature. Saxony-Anhalt is set to receive €2.95 billion (~$3.4 billion) from the EU’s 2021-27 budget. However, Daniel Freund, a Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from the Greens, a left-wing European party, has pushed to withhold the funds from the region. Freund argued that funds should be withheld from the region if an AfD-controlled state government legislates in a way contrary to so-called EU values. The EU has previously withheld funds from Hungary and Poland under similar circumstances.
🎯 IMPACT: Freezing EU funds could significantly affect Saxony-Anhalt’s regional development, impacting public infrastructure and services. The AfD has dismissed the EU’s potential actions as undemocratic, characterizing the idea as punishing the voters of Saxony-Anhalt. If the EU opts to freeze funds to the region or attempts to override state government decisions through financial pressure, this could increase hostility towards the EU and bolster support for the AfD. It is also possible that the EU goes ahead with defunding the region in order to slight President Donald J. Trump, who congratulated the AfD on their win earlier this week. “Wow! The Populist Party in Germany just had a really big night… THEY ARE ON THE RISE, and not going to take it anymore! MGGA!!!” wrote President Donald J. Trump on Truth Social
💬 KEY QUOTE: “We laugh at our partisan opponents, who are now also seeking to disadvantage us undemocratically at EU level.” – Bernd Baumann, AfD parliamentary managing director.

Report: Vance, Rubio Have Warned Trump the Iran War Could Run Into 2029.

President Trump has been privately warned that the Iran war could stretch into 2029 by the Vice President and Secretary of State, reports claim.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio have privately warned President Donald J. Trump that the conflict with Iran could continue through the remainder of his presidency, potentially lasting beyond January 2029, according to a Wall Street Journal report, citing U.S. officials. The warnings were reportedly delivered during private discussions in the Oval Office and the Situation Room, where senior officials raised concerns that Tehran could continue to resist American military and economic pressure.
📺 DETAIL: The assessment stands in stark contrast to Trump’s public prediction that the conflict will end “immediately” after the November midterm elections because Iran will no longer be able to sustain its resistance. Trump has also said that negotiations with Tehran are not currently being pursued, despite acknowledging that diplomacy remains possible. The reported warnings come as the conflict enters its seventh month, with the U.S military continuing operations and economic pressure against Iran while Tehran maintains its ability to retaliate. Vance previously declined to establish a timeline for ending the fighting and said he would not characterize the conflict as a traditional war. The administration has increasingly relied on sanctions and a naval blockade to pressure Tehran into abandoning its nuclear ambitions, but Vance and Rubio’s reported assessment suggests the strategy may not produce a rapid resolution. The White House has not publicly confirmed the reported private discussions, while a spokesman said that Trump alone determines what actions the United States will take and when.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “The attacks are made by us. We’ve knocked out nine of their ships… and you’re going to see a lot more.” – President Donald J. Trump
🎯 IMPACT: If Vance and Rubio’s assessment proves accurate, the Iran war could become the defining issue of Trump’s second term, taking away from his policies on immigration, tariff reform, and reviving American manufacturing.

Asylum Appeals Backlog Hits Record High.

The backlog of asylum appeals in the United Kingdom has surged to unprecedented levels, raising security concerns about the prolonged stay of unvetted migrants in the country.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The United Kingdom’s asylum appeal backlog surpassed 90,000 earlier this year, marking a record high.
📺 DETAIL: According to new data from the British government, the country’s asylum appeal backlog had risen to 90,341 cases by the end of June. This represents a 51 percent increase from the previous year, when the asylum appeal backlog was 59,925. The figures were published on Thursday by the Ministry of Justice (MoJ). This also represents a massive increase from the 5,209 cases in June 2020. The MoJ has attributed the backlog to the faster pace of initial asylum claim decisions, which has led to a surge in appeals. The average waiting time for appeals has also risen to 72 weeks, up from 67 weeks earlier this year. The new data shows 39 percent of asylum appeals were successful between April and June this year, about equal to the 40 percent during the same period last year.
🎯 IMPACT: The growing backlog shows that the British government is struggling to handle the influx of illegal migrants entering the country. Delays in resolving asylum appeals prolong the stay of migrants without legal standing to remain in the country. This poses a security threat to British communities, as demonstrated by past instances of illegal migrants committing crimes in the country while waiting for a decision. For example, three asylum seekers were found guilty of committing gang rape on a beach in Brighton, southern England, earlier this year. They were staying in a taxpayer-subsidized hotel while their asylum applications were being processed. Also, even if their applications are ultimately rejected, British law requires that asylum seekers are housed until a decision is made, placing logistical pressures on communities and introducing the possibility of areas being overwhelmed by the number of arrivals.
📺 FLASHBACK: Back in June, it was revealed that half of the approximately 400,000 illegal migrants in Britain cannot be deported due to asylum and human rights claims.

WATCH: White House Honors Charlie Kirk on First Anniversary of His Assassination.

The White House has marked the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s assassination with a tribute to his legacy as a conservative leader.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: The White House paid tribute to Charlie Kirk, the late founder of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), on the first anniversary of his assassination. Kirk was fatally shot at an open-air event at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025, sending shockwaves through the conservative movement and America at large.
📍 WHEN & WHERE: The tribute was shared on September 10, 2026, exactly one year after Kirk’s assassination at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “One year ago, we tragically lost a fearless patriot. A champion for freedom and for our country. Charlie Kirk changed the course of American history. His courage, conviction, and love of country will never be forgotten,” the White House stated.
🎯 IMPACT: The tribute underscores the lasting influence of Kirk’s work in mobilizing young conservatives and shaping the modern conservative movement. His death remains a significant loss for the movement, with figures including Raheem Kassam, Editor-in-Chief of The National Pulse, lamenting him as “one of the greatest presidents there will now never be.”
📺 DETAIL: Kirk founded Turning Point USA, a prominent conservative organization focused on engaging young Americans in political discourse and activism. The White tribute included a video featuring President Donald J. Trump honoring Kirk’s “immortal” memory, and Kirk speaking to supporters about the importance of being part of a popular movement “about the citizens versus the oligarchs,” “we, the people, versus the ruling class,” and “America versus the globalists,” while quoting the Christian scripture that inspired him. Tyler Robinson, the suspect charged with carrying out Kirk’s assassination, is heading to trial for aggravated murder, a charge that carries the death penalty.

Ilhan Omar Refuses to Comment on Police Raid on Home Shared by Son and Felon Roommate.

Rep. Ilhan Omar declined to comment after police raided her son’s home, raising questions over his roommate’s illegal firearm possession.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Representative Ilhan Omar (D-MN) declined to answer questions about a police search of the Minneapolis home shared by her son, Adnan Hirsi, and his roommate, Abdulrahman Abdi. Minneapolis police executed a search warrant at the residence on August 25 and reportedly recovered multiple firearms and ammunition, with Abdi arrested on a weapons charge.
📺 DETAIL: The investigation began with a traffic stop in which Abdi was cited for driving without a valid license and proof of insurance, after which officers impounded his vehicle and discovered a firearm. Abdi, 22, was subsequently arrested at the residence shared with Omar’s son. He has a criminal record that includes a felony conviction. Hirsi was not arrested. When Omar was approached on Capitol Hill and asked whether she knew why the search occurred or whether she would advise her son to move, she did not respond and continued walking. Notably, Omar has been a vocal supporter of gun control measures, including expanded background checks and so-called red-flag laws.
🎯 IMPACT: The incident could create additional scrutiny for Omar because the police search involved a firearm-related investigation at a home shared by her son. It also puts renewed focus on the contrast between Omar’s public support for stricter gun regulations and her decision not to comment when questioned about the firearms raid on her son’s home.

DATA: Over a Third of Britons Are Concerned About Sharia-Dominated ‘No-Go Zones’ in London.

A new poll highlights public concerns over crime and cultural shifts in London, with many Britons believing parts of the city are dominated by Sharia law.

PULSE POINTS
❓ WHAT HAPPENED: More than a third of Britons believe London has “no-go zones” where Sharia law dominates, according to a new poll examining public perceptions of the capital. The YouGov survey of more than 2,000 British adults found that 34 percent believed there are areas of London where non-Muslims are unable to enter, while 36 percent disagreed and roughly one in five said they did not know.
📺 DETAIL: The poll was conducted for a King’s College London study which examined public perceptions of crime, religion, and social conditions in the city. The findings come amid an ongoing dispute over London’s safety and changing demographics, with President Donald J. Trump repeatedly criticizing the capital and Mayor Sadiq Khan, while Khan has accused his critics of spreading “disinformation” about London. Trump recently told the British media that London has become a “very much different place,” lamenting that there are areas of London and Paris where police are reluctant to enter. The debate has also focused on the existence of Sharia councils in Britain, with investigations identifying multiple organizations in London offering services involving Islamic marriage, divorce, and inheritance arrangements.
🎯 IMPACT: The polling highlights the deep divide over perceptions of crime, cultural change, and Islamic influence in London. The findings could intensify the political debate over Khan’s record and London’s future ahead of the 2028 mayoral election.
💬 KEY QUOTE: “You have areas in Paris and London where the police don’t want to even go in them, there’s no law and order.” – President Donald J. Trump
