On September 25, 2025, Donald Trump signed National Security Presidential Memorandum 7, titled “Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence.” The ACLU warned the memo could threaten free speech and target activists, nonprofits, and donors. Hina Shamsi, director of the ACLU’s National Security Project, called it a move meant to frighten and silence critics of the administration.
She clarified that the memo creates no new legal authority. Labeling groups as “domestic terrorism organizations” carries no legal weight because U.S. law does not recognize such a designation for domestic groups. There is also no federal crime called “domestic terrorism.”
The directive tells federal agencies to investigate groups using broad...
Kim Kardashian denied a fake quote that went viral, claiming her 12-year-old daughter North West said she would “choose her dad, Ye, over her mom a thousand times.” The post appeared on Cool Rap TV’s Instagram but has since been deleted. Kardashian replied directly, calling the interview false and stressing that North loves both parents. She added that using a child to drive online attention is harmful.
Kardashian had previously shared that North admires Ye’s simple life, like living in an apartment without staff. In a recent podcast, she spoke about the difficulty of co-parenting after their 2022 divorce. She said criticism about her is easy to ignore, but comments about her children or mother hurt deeply. Despite public tensions, she...
The White House denied a TMZ report claiming Donald Trump was considering commuting Diddy’s prison sentence. A White House official called the story false and criticized TMZ for not seeking comment before publishing. The official stressed that only the president decides on pardons or commutations, not unnamed sources.
TMZ stood by its report, with spokesperson Casey Carver saying the outlet believes the information is accurate. The original story said Trump was undecided and that some White House staff advised against the move. It also suggested Trump might act quickly, as he often follows his own judgment.
Deadline later reported that Trump had thought about the commutation but stepped back, fearing backlash from his core supporters...
The Louvre Museum in Paris reopened on Wednesday after a bold daylight theft of jewels worth about $102 million. Four suspects stole eight historic pieces in just four minutes before fleeing the scene. The Apollo Room, where the robbery happened, stays closed while police investigate.
Around 100 officers are working to find the stolen items before they are broken up or sold. Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau warned that the gems would lose most of their value if taken apart. She urged the thieves to think twice before destroying them.
Though valued at 88 million euros, the jewels hold far greater cultural and historical worth. Authorities hope to recover them intact.
ALDI is offering a budget Thanksgiving dinner for 2025 at just $40, down from $47 last year. The deal includes 21 traditional items, enough for ten people, or about $4 per person. It runs from October 15 to December 24 and needs no coupons or loyalty sign-ups.
Shoppers can buy each item separately, such as a 14-pound turkey, stuffing, sides, pie ingredients, and whipped topping. Despite being sold individually, the total cost stays low.
Rising food prices—driven by supply chain problems, weather, and labor shortages—have made holiday meals harder to afford. ALDI’s offer gives families a way to enjoy a full Thanksgiving without overspending.

In September 2025, Disney+ and Hulu faced a sharp rise in U.S. subscriber cancellations after ABC briefly removed “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” from its lineup. Data from Antenna showed Disney+ lost about 3 million users and Hulu lost around 4.1 million. Monthly churn rates doubled—Disney+ rose from 4% to 8%, and Hulu from 5% to 10%.
The surge in cancellations followed Kimmel’s removal on September 17 after he made controversial remarks about conservative commentator Charlie Kirk. Although new signups also climbed that month, departures far exceeded normal levels.
The close timing between the show’s suspension and the spike in cancellations suggests a possible boycott. While individual reasons for canceling remain unclear, the data points to a...
The Malawi Health Equity Network praised the Malawi Bureau of Standards for destroying 2,000 liters of expired food flavors meant for fizzy and energy drinks.

MHEN urged manufacturers to improve checks on raw materials and follow safety rules. It also asked local authorities to keep working with the bureau to inspect production and storage sites.
Jobe encouraged people and businesses to report suspicious products...
The Malawi government, through the Ministry of Transport and Public Works, marks Railway Safety Week from October 20 to 26, 2025. This year’s focus is on stopping vandalism and encroachments to keep railways and communities safe.
Secretary Bright Kumwembwe said everyone shares the duty of protecting railway infrastructure.
