Katie Miller, the wife of White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller, appeared on Fox’s “Hannity” Monday and said Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s “pathetic” attack on her husband is because Democrats are “flailing.”
In a post uploaded to Ocasio-Cortez’s Instagram on Sunday, the Democratic lawmaker mocked Stephen Miller, calling him a “clown” and saying he “looks like he’s, like, 4’10.” Showing a clip of the video and noting that the Miller family has previously been doxed, host Sean Hannity called out the “non-stop rhetoric” from Democrats before Miller responded to the new video.

“There’s nothing more comical than a sad, petty, childless adult who flies around on private planes while bemoaning the rich. What you’re seeing here is just the Democratic and the far left attacking every single one of President Trump’s aides and people who support him because they know their policies are failing,” Miller said.
In her more than hour-long video Sunday, the lawmaker claimed Republicans are “scrapping and grasping at straws because they have nothing else,” in response to GOP criticism of Democrats for trying to include healthcare for illegal immigrants in the recent spending bill. Ocasio-Cortez went on to call out Stephen Miller, claiming he is “angry” about his height and telling supporters to “laugh” at “insecure” Republican men.

WATCH: 'No Kings' protesters at massive NYC rally reveal motivation for taking to the streets: 'Disgusting'
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/watch-no-kings-protesters-at-massive-nyc-rally-reveal-motivation-for-taking-to-the-streets-disgusting
This organized media event featured such stars as Bill Nye the Science Gay, Bernie Sanders, and several terrorist apologist.
The protester's stated goals are varied, but no one really understands what they want. Many protestors seem to believe enforcing the law is breaking the law and circumventing the Constitution. Others complain about stupid shit.
So, it's safe to say it's about media driven hysteria and Democrat grievances with stupid branding thus attempting to ensure businesses have access to illegal immigrants who have no rights and will work for reduced pay.
NPR:
Demonstrators across the U.S. took to the streets on Saturday to protest the policies of President Trump.
The overriding theme of the marches was the accusation that the president is behaving more like a monarch than an elected official.
This is the second massive wave of protests organized by No Kings — a network of progressive organizations fighting against Trump's agenda. Organizers projected a turnout in the millions across some 2,600 events around the country.
In New York City's Times Square, protesters carried signs that read: "resist the fascists traitors" and "No crowns, No kings," spilled into the crowd of Broadway matinee show attendees, Gothamist reported.

President Donald Trump's administration is grappling with an embarrassing setback in their plans for a recruitment surge of deportation officers, reported The Atlantic on Monday: tons of the people applying can't do the basic fitness test.
"More than a third have failed so far, four officials told me, impeding the agency’s plan to hire, train, and deploy 10,000 deportation officers by January. To pass, recruits must do 15 push-ups and 32 sit-ups, and run 1.5 miles in 14 minutes," reported Nick Miroff. "'It’s pathetic,' one career [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] official told me, adding that before now, a typical class of 40 recruits had only a couple of candidates fail, because the screening process was more rigorous."
Now, because Trump officials have signficantly eased the hiring process, many people who cannot do even light exercise are getting job offers that may have to be revoked or altered once they get to the training facility, said the report: "An email from ICE headquarters to the agency’s top officials on October 5 lamented that 'a considerable amount of athletically allergic candidates' had been showing up to the academy; they had 'misrepresented' their physical condition on application forms. The email directed leaders at ICE’s field offices to conduct preliminary fitness exams with new recruits before sending them to the academy."

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/16/tariff-costs-to-companies-this-year-to-hit-1point2-trillion-with-consumers-taking-most-of-the-hit-sp-says.html
President Donald Trump’s tariffs will cost global businesses upward of $1.2 trillion in 2025, with most of the cost being passed onto consumers, according to a new analysis from S&P Global.
In a white paper released Thursday, the firm said its estimate of additional expenses for companies is probably conservative. The price tag comes from information provided by some 15,000 sell-side analysts across 9,000 companies who contribute to S&P and its proprietary research indexes.
“The sources of this trillion-dollar squeeze are broad. Tariffs and trade barriers act as taxes on supply chains and divert cash to governments; logistics delays and freight costs compound the effect,” author Daniel Sandberg said in the report. “Collectively, these forces represent a systemic transfer of wealth from corporate profits to workers, suppliers, governments, and infrastructure investors.”
Trump in April slapped 10% tariffs on all goods entering the U.S. and listed individual “reciprocal” tariffs for dozens of other countries. Since then, the White House has entered a series of negotiations and agreements while also adding duties on a variety of individual items such as kitchen cabinets, autos and timber.

The Louvre's head museum's first female security chief, hired by first female director, become first women to lose French crown security, Dominique Buffin, was accused of being hired not on merit but on DEI (Diversity and Inclusion) policies and of putting France's national treasures at risk: the daring raid has humiliated France has also highlighted long-standing concerns about the security of the Louvre.
Ms Buffin, 46 years old, was hired as the first woman head of security by Laurence des Cars, the museum's first female director, last September. But yesterday, Ms Buffin, who has held positions in the police and the French Ministry of Culture, faced calls for her resignation and accusations of unsuitability for the role. Marion Maréchal, MEP and granddaughter of Marine Le Pen, declared that France is 'the laughing stock of the world' because of the 'ridiculous theft'.
She wrote on social media: 'The Minister of Culture must demand the immediate resignation of the museum director and the head of security, whom she appointed as part of a policy of feminisation. It is the cost of giving up competence: endangering the cultural heritage of our nation'. Ms Le Pen, leader of the Rassemblement National party, called the raid a 'wound to the soul of the country'.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Thursday reasserted the unproven link between the pain reliever Tylenol and autism, and suggested people who opposed the theory were motivated by hatred for President Donald Trump.
During a meeting with Trump and the Cabinet, Kennedy reiterated the connection, even while noting there was no medical proof to substantiate the claim. He also mistakenly described a pregnant woman’s anatomy and linked autism to circumcision.
“Anybody who takes the stuff during pregnancy unless they have to is, is irresponsible,” Kennedy told Trump and fellow Cabinet members. “It is not proof. We’re doing the studies to make the proof.”
Kennedy has long espoused unconventional beliefs about public health, which have prompted concern among medical experts that, as health secretary, he could upend the country’s evidence-based health policies.
Kennedy noted during the meeting that he had seen a TikTok video on Thursday, which he said featured a pregnant woman “gobbling Tylenol” and cursing Trump. “The level of Trump derangement syndrome has now left the political landscape and now in the realm of pathology,” he said. Kennedy also said the woman was taking Tylenol “with a baby in her placenta.”
A fetus develops in the uterus, not the placenta. The placenta is a temporary organ that develops in the uterus during pregnancy and provides oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to the growing fetus.
Kennedy’s statement came two weeks after he stood with Trump in the White House as the president used his office to promote unproven and, in some cases, discredited ties between Tylenol, vaccines and autism.
Kennedy also said Thursday that infant boys who are circumcised have double the rate of autism because they are given Tylenol after the procedure.
