Physician and climate change advocate Jill Stein announced her intent on Thursday to run for the Green Party’s nomination in the 2024 presidential election, marking potentially her third bid for the presidency, following campaigns in 2012 and 2016. She declared her candidacy via social media, promising to challenge the two-party system in place, address the ongoing climate crisis, and promote a Green New Deal. Stein’s official campaign launch is expected on November 21.
During her 2012 and 2016 presidential campaigns, Stein garnered 0.36 percent and 1.07 percent of the popular vote respectively. Stein’s 2016 run ended amidst critiques from some Democrats who alleged her presence split votes favoring Hillary Clinton. Stein also initiated recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania—states where former President Donald Trump secured his win against Hillary Clinton.

Alongside Stein are several other long-shot contenders, including Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and Cornel West, both running as independents, as well as progressives Marianne Williamson and Cenk Uygur. Stein’s 2024 platform is expected to be largely centered on the establishment of an Economic Bill of Rights and the execution of a Green New Deal.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Dr. Martin Whyte, the General Medical Council (GMC), and the British Medical Association (BMA).
📍WHEN & WHERE: The offensive posts date back to 2018. Dr. Whyte is employed by Northumbria Healthcare National Health Service (NHS) Foundation Trust.
💬KEY QUOTE: “This conduct does not meet the standards required of a doctor. It risks bringing the profession into disrepute and must not be repeated.” – GMC Warning
🎯IMPACT: The warning will remain on Dr. Whyte’s record for two years, and he has been barred from representing the BMA in any capacity.
IN FULL
Dr. Martin Whyte, a British junior doctor and former executive member of the British Medical Association (BMA), has been formally warned by the General Medical Council (GMC) after making a series of grossly offensive social media posts, including jokes about Jews being gassed and comments questioning the Holocaust.
The GMC investigation described the posts as “grossly offensive” but said they “fell just short of that which would be considered serious enough to pose a risk to public protection.” Dr. Whyte, who currently works for Northumbria Healthcare National Health Service (NHS) Foundation Trust as a specialist trainee in paediatrics, has received a formal warning that will remain on his record for two years. The notice states: “This conduct does not meet the standards required of a doctor. It risks bringing the profession into disrepute and must not be repeated.”
Among the posts reviewed by regulators were remarks referring to the “decomposing carcass of the Queen,” and a post describing Conservatives as “b******” and complaining that they should not be allowed to work in medicine. In one particularly shocking message following the 2018 Pittsburgh synagogue massacre, which killed 11 people, Dr. Whyte wrote: “hahaha zeig hail hahaha gas the jews hahaha just kidding but have you seen these YouTube videos about the holohoax they’re pretty convincing imo [in my opinion].”
The BMA called Dr. Whyte’s comments “totally unacceptable” and confirmed that he had been removed from all association activities as soon as the material came to light. A spokesman said: “Dr. Whyte was immediately removed from any and all BMA business when the social media material came to light. This was followed by our own internal investigation, which made this permanent. The BMA stands opposed to all forms of discrimination.”
The Campaign Against Antisemitism criticised the GMC’s response, arguing that the warning was inadequate. A spokesman said, “Every week, there is some new outrage from the medical regulatory system. Is there any level of racism against Jewish people that the GMC would consider worthy of actual disciplinary action? Antisemitism is at record highs in our society and regulators are totally asleep at the wheel. Another spectacular failure by the medical regulator.”
In the United States, the Trump administration recently froze more than $500 million in federal grants to Brown University over anti-Semitism concerns, and rapper Kanye “Ye” West has apologised to a rabbi for his previous anti-Semitic remarks, blaming them on bipolar disorder.
Meanwhile, reports have highlighted Jewish families leaving supposedly “tolerant” countries like Canada for the United States due to fears over rising hostility.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Zarah did not choose to become the sole director of MOU Operations Limited, but was prepared to take on this responsibility to ensure funds are transferred as quickly as possible.” – Spokesman for Zarah Sultana
🎯IMPACT: The internal dispute over funds has created a “low trust environment” and is affecting preparations for Your Party’s founding conference.
IN FULL
Zarah Sultana, a former Member of Parliament (MP) for Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Party who now sits in the House of Commons as an independent, is at the center of a controversy involving £800,000 (~$1.1 million) in donations for Your Party, a political group she co-founded with far-left former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. Sultana currently manages these funds through a company, MOU Operations, following the resignation of its previous directors.
The funds, intended for Your Party—comprised chiefly of far-left Labour outcasts like Corbyn and pro-Gaza Muslim politicians dissatisfied with Starmer’s Middle East policy—have not been fully transferred, leading to tensions within the party. Sultana has agreed to transfer £600,000 (~$790,000) in three installments, starting with £200,000 (~$263,000), but party sources are demanding the entire amount be paid immediately.
The dispute follows the party’s registration with the Electoral Commission on September 30. Sultana stepped in as the sole director of MOU Operations after the previous directors, including former Labour MP Beth Winter, resigned, citing concerns about governance.
Sultana’s spokesman claims she is conducting “due diligence” before transferring the funds, which are also tied up with MOU’s costs and liabilities. However, some within Your Party accuse her of using the funds for political leverage.
The controversy has affected the party’s preparations for its founding conference, with organizers expressing frustration over limited resources.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The Supreme Court, former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis, and her attorney Mat Staver.
📍WHEN & WHERE: Monday, November 10, 2025.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Like the abortion decision in Roe v. Wade, Obergefell was egregiously wrong from the start. We will continue to work to overturn Obergefell. It is not a matter of if, but when the Supreme Court will overturn Obergefell.” — Mat Staver
🎯IMPACT: While Staver remains confident that a challenge to overturn same-sex marriage will occur, the high court appears disinclined towards such a case.
IN FULL
The United States Supreme Court has declined to take up a case that could have resulted in a potential challenge to same-sex marriage. Notably, Democrat lawmakers—in their criticism of the high court—have consistently claimed the justices would not pass on the chance to overturn the Obergefell decision and effectively undo gay marriage.
On Monday, the court denied out of hand an appeal filed by former Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis, seeking to mitigate the hundreds of thousands of dollars in fines and damages stemming from her refusal to issue same-sex marriage licenses. By rejecting the appeal request, the Supreme Court ended one of several avenues by which it could take up a challenge to Obergefell.
Far-left activists and Democrat lawmakers have consistently held that Davis’s appeal would likely serve as the vehicle by which the Supreme Court majority would look to undo Obergefell, much like Roe v. Wade. The evidence pointed to was a short line in a concurring opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization,in which Justice Clarence Thomas insinuated that same-sex marriage should also be revisited by the court. However, none of the other justices expressed a similar opinion nor suggested revisiting Obergefell was an aim.
Despite the setback, Mat Staver—founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel, the legal group that represented Davis—expressed his confidence that the right case will come along that will result in the reversal of the federal requirement to allow same-sex marriage. “Like the abortion decision in Roe v. Wade, Obergefell was egregiously wrong from the start. We will continue to work to overturn Obergefell. It is not a matter of if, but when the Supreme Court will overturn Obergefell,” Staver said following the court’s decision not to take up Davis’s case.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Donald J. Trump, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, U.S. military forces, and six alleged narco-terrorists.
📍WHEN & WHERE: Strikes occurred on November 9 in the Eastern Pacific; announcement made Monday morning.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Yesterday, at the direction of President Trump, two lethal kinetic strikes were conducted on two vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations.” – Pete Hegseth
🎯IMPACT: The operation marks the 18th lethal strike on drug-smuggling vessels in recent months, with approximately 75 individuals killed.
IN FULL
The U.S. military carried out two deadly strikes on November 9 against vessels in the eastern Pacific Ocean operated by narco-terrorist organizations. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced the operation Monday morning, saying the strikes were conducted under the direction of President Donald J. Trump.
“Yesterday, at the direction of President Trump, two lethal kinetic strikes were conducted on two vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations,” Hegseth said in a statement. He added that U.S. intelligence linked the vessels to illicit narcotics trafficking.
According to Hegseth, both vessels were in international waters, each carrying three male narco-terrorists. All six were killed, and no U.S. forces were harmed. The Pentagon said the action marks the 18th lethal strike against drug-smuggling vessels in recent months, bringing the total number killed to roughly 75.
The Trump administration has sharply increased military action against Latin American drug cartels, with the President designating several as terrorist organizations and accusing Venezuela’s government of facilitating drug trafficking into the United States. “Under President Trump, we are protecting the homeland and killing these cartel terrorists who wish to harm our country and its people,” Hegseth said.
The two latest strikes follow a series of operations that have expanded U.S. military activity into the Pacific. In late October, 14 alleged narco-terrorists were killed in multiple strikes in the eastern Pacific, part of a growing campaign to target maritime smuggling routes. Earlier operations in October included attacks off the coast of Colombia, where U.S. forces struck boats linked to the ELN guerrilla group, and others targeting suspected cartel vessels operating beyond national waters.
Critics like the globalist United Nations have questioned the legality of the strikes, calling them extrajudicial killings that could violate international law. Senate Democrats have demanded to see the legal justifications behind the operations and for a list of organizations deemed targetable by the administration. The White House has defended the campaign, insisting that President Trump has a mandate from the American people to take strong action against cartels and that the operations are consistent with U.S. national security interests.

Christine Pelosi, the daughter of retiring Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), announced on Monday her intention to run for the California State Senate. The announcement was made via a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), marking her entry into the political race.
In the video, Christine Pelosi declared, “In courtrooms, campaigns and corridors of power, I’ve fought to build Power For The People. And that’s why I’m running for California Senate.”

The seat Pelosi is vying for is currently held by Scott Wiener (D), who has announced his candidacy to replace former Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the U.S. House of Representatives. Wiener, a far-left progressive who is an outspoken supporter of gender transitions for children and opponent of parents’ rights, likely headed off a potential direct challenge from the younger Pelosi by launching his campaign before the former Speaker’s retirement was announced.
A fight between Weiner, 54, and Christine Pelosi, 58, to succeed the latter’s mother would likely have pitted national Democrats against the California Democratic Party, where Weiner has built a robust base of support. The younger Pelosi, meanwhile, is a longtime party operative with deep ties to the Democratic National Committee (DNC), where she has served as Vice Chairman for Campaigns and Elections.
Weiner has been building a shadow campaign for several years in anticipation of Nancy Pelosi‘s retirement. In 2023, the progressive state senator announced he had amassed a $1 million war chest to fund his congressional run. The 84-year-old Pelosi’s decision to run for another term in office derailed Weiner’s plans at the time.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The case arises from Mississippi and will be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court following a reversal by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.
💬KEY QUOTE: “The election has then occurred, even if election officials do not receive all ballots by that day.” – State of Mississippi’s petition to the Supreme Court
🎯IMPACT: The court’s decision could set a national precedent on how mail-in ballots are handled and affect voting policies in several states.
IN FULL
The U.S. Supreme Court has announced it will hear Watson v. Republican National Committee, a case challenging Mississippi‘s law allowing mail-in ballots to be counted if they are received within five business days after Election Day, provided they were postmarked by Election Day.
Mississippi election officials argue that a vote is cast when a ballot is postmarked, regardless of when it is received. “The election has then occurred, even if election officials do not receive all ballots by that day,” the state said in its petition. However, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that federal law mandates elections occur on a single day, and allowing late-arriving ballots undermines this principle.
Sixteen states, along with Washington, D.C., Guam, and Puerto Rico, currently allow mail-in ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted even if they arrive after Election Day. This policy aims to accommodate voters affected by slow mail delivery. A federal judge initially upheld Mississippi’s law, but the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision.
Another case, Bost v. Illinois, is also under consideration by the court. It challenges Illinois‘ practice of counting ballots received up to two weeks after Election Day. Mississippi has requested that the court delay its ruling on Watson until the Illinois case is decided.
Additionally, the Supreme Court is hearing a challenge to Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, which could limit the scope of the landmark law.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The data covers the past year, with an emphasis on trends from March to September across various U.S. cities.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Consumers are buying more from businesses in their communities.” – DoorDash Report
🎯IMPACT: Families are seeing lower prices on essentials, wage growth is outpacing costs, and fewer businesses are closing nationwide.
IN FULL
New data suggests the overall consumer economy continues to remain robust despite disruptions in some sectors over the last few months. The latest DoorDash State of Local Commerce report confirms that inflation has largely been brought under control and that consumer prices are beginning to recede from their highs under the former Biden government. Additionally, the report suggests that as prices fall, wages are also increasing, a positive sign for American workers, as it should lead to increased purchasing power.
The Breakfast Basics Index—which measures the price of three eggs, a glass of milk, a bagel, and an avocado—shows a decrease of 14 percent since March, and a 1.7 percent decline over the past 12 months. The Everyday Essentials Index—which measures home essentials like toothpaste, shampoo, toilet paper, laundry detergent, analgesic medication, and diapers—also shows a price decline over the last year.
According to the data, prices for other items, including cheese, cereals, fresh fruits, frozen meals, packaged meals, condiments, batteries, electronics, toys, and vitamins, have also fallen.
Importantly, the decline in prices comes hand in hand with a surge in national wage growth. This is especially notable when compared to restaurant prices, which have also decreased, making dining out once again increasingly affordable for American families.
The data also reveals that 56 percent of consumers report seeing fewer local businesses shutter over the last 12 months. DoorDash notes that the overall food spend has jumped by about five percent since last year—faster than prices have risen, suggesting “consumers are buying more from businesses in their communities.”

📍WHEN & WHERE: Saturday in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood, spanning several city blocks.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Make no mistake: Our mission will continue despite the violence.” – Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin
🎯IMPACT: Nine arrests were made, with DHS working alongside the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Chicago police to locate the gunman and review security measures.
IN FULL
Federal law enforcement has launched a manhunt in Chicago, Illinois, after immigration agents came under fire from what is believed to be members of the Latin Kings gang in Chicago’s Little Village neighborhood on Saturday. According to officials with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), agents were targeted in four separate incidents, with the shootings believed to be tied to a bounty issued by the Latin Kings gang on any federal law enforcement involved in Operation Midway Blitz.
The violence began when agents were boxed into a street and alley while making an arrest, and a man driving a black Jeep opened fire before fleeing the scene. Crowds escalated the confrontation by throwing bricks and paint cans from rooftops, prompting agents to deploy a flash-bang device. Chicago police assisted in evacuating the area. Several vehicles sustained damage.
The unrest spanned several city blocks, with demonstrators attempting to breach the perimeter of a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) facility and ramming agents’ vehicles on four occasions. Protesters blocked streets and continued to hurl objects, leading agents to use crowd control measures to clear a path. Over the course of three hours, nine people were arrested, including eight U.S. citizens and one non-citizen, on charges ranging from assault to obstruction. DHS confirmed that the gunman remains at large.
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin criticized Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker (D) and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson (D), accusing them of fostering hostility toward law enforcement. “J.B. Pritzker and Brandon Johnson have fueled an environment of lawlessness and assault on federal law enforcement,” McLaughlin stated.
She described the attacks as “unprecedented” and attributed the violence to anti-police rhetoric. “Make no mistake: Our mission will continue despite the violence,” she added, warning that those who target law enforcement will face consequences.

Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) has announced that the state budget cannot accommodate the free buses program proposed by socialist New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani (D). Hochul, whoendorsed Mamdani in his campaign, made the comments during a political conference in Puerto Rico on Saturday.
“I cannot set forth a plan right now that takes money out of a system that relies on the fares of the buses and the subways,” Hochul stated. She also highlighted a $3 billion Medicaid deficit and federal funding cuts as obstacles to implementing Mamdani’s proposals. “Our ambitions are big, and I believe in them, and I want to accomplish them. We also have to figure out—now I’m in the hole $3 billion already on Medicaid cuts,” Hochul said.
Mamdani’s plan involves the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), which Hochul oversees, eliminating fares for New York City buses. While the Ugandan immigrant had previously secured a pilot program for one free bus in each city borough in 2023, MTA leadership has expressed skepticism about the feasibility of expanding the initiative.
Hochul also addressed Mamdani’s push for free, universal child care, noting that such a program would require time to phase in due to the need for trained workers and sufficient facilities. “But can we find a path to make it more affordable for people who need help? Of course we can,” she claimed.

🎯IMPACT: Over 5,500 flights have been canceled overall, with thousands more delayed.

Over 1,600 flights were canceled within, into, or out of the U.S. on Monday morning, according to flight-tracking website FlightAware. Additionally, more than 2,700 flights were delayed, causing widespread travel disruptions. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy revealed that only four air traffic controllers were available at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport on Saturday. The airport, recognized as the busiest in the world, had 18 of its 22 controllers absent that day.
However, President Donald J. Trump is ordering federal air traffic control workers to return to their posts, even pushing for a substantial bonus for those who have worked through the Democrat government shutdown. “All Air Traffic Controllers must get back to work, NOW!!! Anyone who doesn’t will be substantially ‘docked,'” President Trump wrote on Truth Social. He continued: “For those Air Traffic Controllers who were GREAT PATRIOTS, and didn’t take ANY TIME OFF for the ‘Democrat Shutdown Hoax,’ I will be recommending a BONUS of $10,000 per person for distinguished service to our Country.”
“For those that did nothing but complain, and took time off, even though everyone knew they would be paid, IN FULL, shortly into the future, I am NOT HAPPY WITH YOU,” he added.
Flight disruptions are expected to continue into this week despite Senate Republicans overcoming the Democratic Party filibuster and advancing a bill to temporarily fund the government. Late Sunday, eight Democrats joined the Republican majority to overcome a filibuster led by Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). It is expected that the temporary funding bill will be finalized on Monday before moving to the House by mid-week, where it is expected to pass. By and large, the Democrat government shutdown is expected to end by late Wednesday or early Thursday.
House Speaker Mike Johnson has strongly urged lawmakers to return to Capitol Hill to prepare for the House vote, but has not yet issued a formal demand that members return to Washington, D.C.
