U.S. President Donald Trump has escalated his administration's immigration stance, announcing plans to "permanently pause migration" from all "third world countries" after an Afghan national was accused of shooting two National Guard members in Washington, D.C., one of whom later died. The comments appeared in a series of posts on his Truth Social platform, where Trump argued the move would "allow the US system to fully recover" from immigration policies he said had eroded "the gains and living conditions" of Americans.

Donald Trump has intensified his criticism of female journalists, launching a personal attack on The New York Times White House correspondent Katie Rogers less than two weeks after directing the remark "quiet, piggy" at another reporter aboard Air Force One. The latest outburst came after The Times published a detailed report examining the 79-year-old president's reduced domestic travel, lighter public schedule, and visible signs of fatigue during his second term.

HOW THANKSGIVING TURNED INTO THE SUPER BOWL OF FEASTS

Thanksgiving stands as one of the most enduring cultural holidays in the United States, rooted in centuries of storytelling, national identity, and evolving customs. Its origins trace back to 1621 in Plymouth, when English Pilgrims, after surviving a harsh winter and learning essential farming skills from the Wampanoag people, held a three-day harvest gathering. Though often remembered as a harmonious feast, historians note that the event was as much a political alliance as it was a celebratory meal. Over time, this encounter became symbolically reimagined, forming the foundation of what is now considered the "First Thanksgiving," even though similar harvest celebrations already existed among Indigenous communities long before European arrival.

Erika Kirk, widow of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, revealed that she was "praying to God" she was pregnant with her third child when her husband was assassinated in September. The couple, who married in May 2021 after meeting in 2018, already shared a three-year-old daughter and a one-year-old son.

"We wanted to have four," Kirk, 37, told Megyn Kelly during an interview that aired Monday. "And I was praying to God that I was pregnant when he got murdered. I was like, 'Oh, goodness, that would be the ultimate blessing out of this catastrophe.'" She added that both she and her late husband had been excited to expand their family.

Kirk also encouraged young couples to prioritize having children if that is their wish. "So now when I see young couples, I tell them, 'Please, don't put it off.' Especially if you're a young woman. Don't put it off, you can always have a career, you can always go back to work. You can never just go back to having children. And they grow so fast and so quickly," she said.

Charlie Kirk, 31, was shot dead while speaking at a Turning Point USA event at Utah Valley University on September 10. Authorities later arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, who now faces multiple charges, including aggravated murder. Following her husband's death, Erika Kirk was granted a protective order barring Robinson from contacting her.

The widow has taken over as CEO of Turning Point USA to continue her late husband's work. She described the ongoing impact of the tragedy on their children, recounting moments with her daughter in the days after Charlie's death. At one point, her daughter asked, "Where's daddy?" to which Erika replied, "'Baby, daddy loves you so much. Don't you worry. He's on a work trip with Jesus so he can afford your blueberry budget.'"

Erika Kirk emphasized that she and Charlie had been looking forward to growing their family and now carries the responsibility of continuing his legacy at Turning Point USA.

The Trump administration has officially designated Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his government allies as members of a foreign terrorist organization. Named "Cartel de los Soles"—a phrase experts describe more as an indictment of allegedly corrupt government officials than an organized crime group—this designation authorizes President Donald Trump to impose fresh sanctions targeting Maduro’s assets and infrastructure. Legal experts, however, clarify that it does not explicitly permit the use of lethal force.
