Trump revives Mamdani attack, threatens to send troops to NYC if ‘Communist' wins

MamdaniPresident Donald Trump is renewing his threats against New York City, suggesting he'll withhold federal funds and deploy the National Guard, as he did in other major cities, if Zohran Mamdani is elected mayor.

Speaking Tuesday at the White House, Trump hurled insults at the Democratic candidate anew.

"We have a Communist, 33 years old, doesn't know a thing, probably never worked a day in his life, and he sort of caught on. I'm not going to send a lot of money to New Yorkhttps://tse3.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIF.i1lDsFxaLYUz%2fHU8dP3MqA&pid=Api&h=220&P=0," Trump said. "We're not going to ruin one of our great cities, because we'll make that great. We will clean up the crime in about 30 days."

"It took 12 days to do Washington, DC, so New York is bigger, and Chicago, we've already made a lot of progress despite fighting from the government. All of these cities, we want to clean them up," he added. "We don't like that opposition. But if somebody is going to be a communist mayor of New York. It's a fluke if he gets in."

The comments add to an arsenal Trump has wielded against the city. A day after Eric Adams dropped his reelection bid, Trump called Mamdani "one of the best things to ever happen to our great Republican party," and threatened to withhold federal funds should he win. He called him a Communist, as he did again Tuesday.

Mamdani had no immediate comment on the latest jab. He appeared at an event with Gov. Kathy Hochul Tuesday night, their first joint appearance since she endorsed him a month ago, noting some philosophical differences. Hochul has pledged to have Mamdani's back, as well as New York's state, when it comes to Trump.

‘Cruelest forms of torture’: freed Palestinians describe horrors of Israeli jail

Releaxed Palestinian prisonerBefore releasing him, Israeli prison guards decided to give Naseem al-Radee a farewell gift. They bound his hands, placed him on the ground and beat him without mercy, saying goodbye the same way they had said hello: with their fists.

Radee’s first sight of Gaza in nearly two years was blurry; a boot to the eye left him with blurred vision two days later. Vision problems added to the laundry list of ailments he gained during his 22-month stay in an Israeli prison.

The 33-year-old government employee from Beit Lahiya was arrested by Israeli soldiers at a school-turned-displacement shelter in Gaza on 9 December 2023. He spent more than 22 months in captivity in Israeli detention centres – including 100 days in an underground cell – before being released alongside 1,700 other Palestinian detainees back to Gaza on Monday.

Like the other detainees released back to Gaza, Radee was never charged with a crime. And like many others, his detention was marked by torture, medical neglect and starvation at the hands of Israeli prison guards.

His description of his time in prison is part of what the Israeli human rights group B’Tselem says is a policy of abuse towards Palestinians detainees in Israeli prisons and detention centres.

Trump threatens to cut US aid to Argentina if Milei loses election

MileiPresident Donald Trump has acknowledged that a $20bn (£15bn) US lifeline to help calm Argentina's currency crisis is an attempt to sway legislative elections this month in the South American nation.

Welcoming Argentina's libertarian leader Javier Milei to the White House, Trump warned that the US would not "waste our time" with helping Argentina if Milei's party did not prevail.

Milei praised Trump for his peacemaking efforts and said the US president's policies would lead to "prosperity".

Argentina's financial turmoil comes ahead of national midterm elections on 26 October, seen as a test of voters' desire to continue backing Milei's cost-cutting, free-market reform agenda.

US revokes visas from six foreign nationals for social media comments critical of Charlie Kirk

Erika KirkIn a stunning departure for an administration that came to power vowing to stop social-media censorship, Donald Trump’s state department announced on Tuesday that it had revoked the visas of six foreign nationals who posted critical comments on social media about Charlie Kirk, in the wake of the conservative activist’s murder.

“The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans,” the US state department said in a statement posted on X. “The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk.”

The state department then listed six “examples of aliens who are no longer welcome in the U.S.” in a thread on the social media platform owned by Elon Musk, the Trump donor who called himself “a free speech absolutist” before buying the site formerly known as Twitter.

The thread included screenshots and quotes from people identified as foreign nationals of Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Mexico, Paraguay and South Africa.y, Mexico, Paraguay and South Africa.

None of the individuals was identified by name, but the screenshots made it possible to trace the identities of two people, including one who had been singled out for abuse by conservatives on X.

Judge grants restraining order against Rep. Cory Mills after ex-girlfriend’s harassment allegations

corey millsA Florida county judge on Tuesday granted a restraining order against Rep. Cory Mills (R-Fla.) requested by a woman who accused him of harassing and threatening her after their breakup earlier this year.

Lindsey Langston, a Florida Republican state committeewoman who was crowned Miss United States 2024, filed the emergency petition for injunction in August after separately telling law enforcement in July that Mills had threatened to release explicit photos and videos of her and to harm any other men she may date.

The judge wrote Langston has “reasonable cause to believe she is in imminent danger of becoming the victim of another act of dating violence” — in this case, cyberstalking, as defined by Florida statute — without the injunction.

Until Jan. 1, Mills is prohibited from contacting Langston in any way and is prohibited from going within 500 feet of her residence or place of employment.

The judge found Mills’s communications to Langston “were all intended to cause … substantial emotional distress.”

Trump bemoans his Time magazine cover. ‘The picture may be the Worst of All Time’

Time CoverPresident Donald Trump is not a fan of his Time magazine cover story photo.

Time posted the cover for the upcoming Nov. 10 issue on X, which features a photo of Trump taken from low down with the sun creating a halo effect where his hair blurs into the light. It features three titles: "His triumph," "The leader Israel needed," and "How Gaza heals." The X post links to a story about how the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas could be a signature achievement in Trump's second term.

But Trump took to Truth Social in the early hours of the morning as he flew back to the U.S. from Egypt to criticize the picture.

"Time Magazine wrote a relatively good story about me, but the picture may be the Worst of All Time. They 'disappeared' my hair, and then had something floating on top of my head that looked like a floating crown, but an extremely small one," Trump wrote. "Really weird! I never liked taking pictures from underneath angles, but this is a super bad picture, and deserves to be called out. What are they doing, and why?"

Arizona attorney general threatens legal action if Johnson doesn’t seat recently elected Democrat

Arizona agArizona Attorney General Kris Mayes (D) on Tuesday threatened legal action if Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) delays swearing in Democratic Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (Ariz.).

“It’s way past time for Mike Johnson to stop the political games and seat Adelita without delay. Today, my office is sending a letter to Speaker Johnson demanding he do so,” Mayes said in a statement on Tuesday. “We are keeping every option open to us, including litigation, to hold him accountable and make sure that Adelita is able to begin her work as Arizona’s newest member of Congress.”

Grijalva won a special election on Sept. 23 for the Arizona seat that was long held by her father, the late Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.). But despite decisively winning the seat, she has not yet been sworn in. 

Johnson has canceled weeks of previously scheduled votes and kept the House in recess amid the government shutdown as he aims to pressure Senate Democrats into accepting the GOP-crafted, House-passed “clean” stopgap bill to fund the government through Nov. 21. 

He has declined to swear Grijalva in during the brief “pro forma” sessions that the chamber holds for constitutional appointment reasons, and he has said he will swear in Grijalva when the House is back in regular session — reiterating the position in a statement in response to Mayes on Tuesday.

Trump says U.S. struck 5th boat accused of carrying drugs off coast of Venezuela, killing 6

6 killed as nother boat is hitPresident Trump said Tuesday that the U.S. struck another small boat that he accused of carrying drugs in the waters off the coast of Venezuela.

The president said in a post on Truth Social that six people aboard the vessel were killed in the strike and no U.S. forces were harmed. It's the fifth deadly strike in the Caribbean, where the Trump administration has asserted it is treating alleged drug traffickers as unlawful combatants who must be met with military force. At least 27 people have been killed in the five strikes, according to figures released by the administration.

Frustration with the use of force has been growing on Capitol Hill among members of both major political parties. Some Republicans are seeking more information from the White House on the legal justification and details of the strikes. Democrats contend the strikes violate U.S. and international law.
