In a massive escalation of its crackdown on independent media, Egyptian authorities today ordered the closure of Mada Masr, Egypt’s leading independent news outlet. This is a brazen attack on press freedom and an attempt to silence one of the last major independent voices in Egypt. This comes on the heels of the arrest of the entire newsroom from Matsadaash, another independent news outlet, just a few weeks ago. Egypt must reverse this decision, release all wrongfully detained journalists, and end its assault on the free press.

President Trump's planned 250-foot-tall arch would cast shadows on many graves and monuments in nearby Arlington National Cemetery, the @washingtonpost's 3-D analysis found. On some days, Trump's arch would even shade the grave and eternal flame of JFK.

This is just awful. The Trump Administration is rolling back protections that kept bears and park visitors safe to make it easier for trophy hunters to kill wildlife. nytimes.com/2026/10/16/clima…

FIRST ON CBS: As President Trump boasts about how much money the U.S. oil and gas industry is making from the war with Iran, the president's personal holdings in oil and gas are now worth between $22.5 million and $81.6 million, compared with $12.6 million to $46 million at the end of 2025, according to a new report by Democrats on the Congressional Joint Economic Committee. cbsn.ws/47IN9un

Donald Trump doesn't give a damn that Americans are getting squeezed by higher gas prices because he's cashing in. Since the start of the Iran war, Trump has made more than $35 million from oil and gas, nearly doubling his wealth from the industry.
TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.

Over 5 million Americans have been kicked off SNAP. These are our seniors, veterans, kids and working families, yet Trump and Republicans chose to take away their food.

Hunger is on the rise in America. The Trump Tariffs raised grocery prices and the One Big Ugly Bill cut SNAP benefits. ENOUGH.

Republicans are raising costs while Trump pockets billions. They don’t care about the American people. House Democrats do. We’re fighting every day to make life affordable for you and your family.

$2,000. That’s how much an average household in the U.S. has had to fork over because of Trump’s war. Here’s how it all adds up to your bottom line:

👀 Coming off “the least productive Congress in the history of the country,” @RepDonBeyer (D-Va.) wants Democrats to aim for the most productive one. First up: affordability, healthcare cuts and immigration reform, which he calls “the big low hanging fruit.”

Donald Trump’s policies have been a disaster for American families. Knowing how unpopular he is, he’s resorting to voter intimidation and attempts to influence our elections to hold on to power. We won’t let him get away with it. We’ll fight these attacks in court and at the ballot box to ensure American voters decide the outcome of our elections, not Trump.
