The individual who tried to assassinate President Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, last summer had an interest in “furries,” according to reports.
Nearly 200 investigations into potential abuses of the H-1B visa program have been launched as part of the Department of Labor’s (DOL) efforts to “combat discrimination against American workers,” agency officials reveal to Breitbart News.
New York City (NYC) Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani explained that the relationship he has with President Donald “will be critical to the success” of the city, and added that he plans to call Trump before taking office.
Jack Schlossberg, JFK’s grandson, announced his run for Jerry Nadler’s congressional seat. I believe, in 2028 he will run for Schumer’s senate seat and later for presidency
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) called Senate Democrats’ deal with Republicans to reopen the government “pathetic,” accusing them of betraying “working Americans” after failing to secure an extension of enhanced Obamacare premium subsidies.
The Senate passed a continuing resolution (CR) to reopen the government Monday night, 40 days after Democrats triggered what is now the longest government shutdown in history.
Drug Overdose Deaths in the United StatesBased on the latest provisional data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as of November 2025, drug overdose deaths (including all unintentional, intentional, and undetermined intent poisonings by drugs) have shown a significant decline after peaking during the COVID-19 pandemic.
2024 (Last Year): An estimated 80,391 people died from drug overdoses. This represents a nearly 27% decrease from the 110,037 deaths in 2023, marking the lowest annual total since 2019. The decline is attributed to factors like increased naloxone distribution, better access to addiction treatment, shifts in the illicit drug supply (e.g., reduced fentanyl potency), and post-pandemic recovery in prevention programs.
2025 (This Year, Estimated): Provisional data for the 12-month period ending in April 2025 indicate 76,516 drug overdose deaths, a further 24% decline from the 2023 peak (or about a 5% drop from 2024). This suggests the downward trend is continuing, potentially saving over 29,000 lives compared to 2023 levels, though final numbers will be confirmed in 2026. Early 2025 data (through January) showed a slight uptick to around 82,000 in a rolling 12-month window, but the most recent update points to sustained progress.
These figures are provisional and subject to revision as more death certificates are processed (typically 1-2 years of lag). Overdoses remain the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18-44, with synthetic opioids like fentanyl involved in about 60% of cases. Ongoing investments in harm reduction, such as the CDC’s Overdose Data to Action program, are credited for the momentum.
Innovation Instead of Overregulation to Protect Environment
President Donald Trump’s EPA is “leaning into innovation” instead of overregulation to protect the environment, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said during an event with Breitbart News.
The 8 Democrats Who Crossed the AisleOn November 9, 2025, the U.S. Senate voted 60-40 to advance a House-passed continuing resolution (CR) to end the 40-day government shutdown, funding federal operations through January 30, 2026, and including a package of three appropriations bills (for agriculture, military construction/Veterans Affairs, and the legislative branch). Republicans hold 53 seats but needed 60 votes to overcome a filibuster, requiring 7 Democratic votes (or 8 including Independent Angus King, who caucuses with Democrats). Exactly 8 Democrats broke with their party leadership—led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who opposed the measure for not directly extending Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies—to provide those votes, alongside all but one Republican (Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky).This bipartisan breakthrough came after Democrats had blocked the CR 14 times, demanding concessions on ACA subsidies (set to expire December 31, 2025, potentially doubling premiums for 20 million Americans). In exchange for their votes, Republicans agreed to a guaranteed Senate floor vote by mid-December on extending those subsidies for a year, protections against further federal worker layoffs during the shutdown, reinstatement of wrongfully terminated employees, back pay for furloughed workers, and restored SNAP benefits through fiscal year 2026. Critics like Sen. Bernie Sanders called it a “very bad vote” that endangers healthcare access, while supporters argued the shutdown’s harms (e.g., disrupted food assistance, airport chaos) outweighed the risks.The 8 Democrats (and 1 Independent) who voted yes on the procedural motion to advance the CR are:
Senator
Party/State
Key Rationale (from public statements)
Catherine Cortez Masto
D-NV
Cited shutdown’s impact on Nevada’s tourism and federal workforce; accepted December ACA vote as a step forward.
Dick Durbin
D-IL
Emphasized urgency of reopening government to protect Illinois families from SNAP cuts and federal pay delays.
John Fetterman
D-PA
Longtime critic of shutdown strategy; warned it empowered Trump’s “Project 2025” agenda and hurt working-class Pennsylvanians.
Maggie Hassan
D-NH
Highlighted New Hampshire’s federal employee base; viewed the deal as protecting workers while securing a future ACA fight.
Tim Kaine
D-VA
Focused on Virginia’s 300,000+ federal workers; praised language barring baseless firings and ensuring back pay.
Angus King
I-ME
(Caucuses with Democrats) Prioritized avoiding “chaos” from prolonged shutdown; supported ACA credits but refused to risk SNAP disruptions.
Jacky Rosen
D-NV
Noted Republicans’ refusal to negotiate ACA during shutdown made the deal untenable; hailed it as averting worse pain for Nevadans.
Jeanne Shaheen
D-NH
Stressed bipartisan talks yielded a “path forward” on ACA via the December vote, while immediately restoring essential services.
The measure now heads to final Senate passage (expected soon), then the House for concurrence before President Trump’s signature. House Democrats, led by Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, have criticized the deal as a “handshake compromise” but indicated some centrists may support it to reopen government quickly. This vote reflects growing centrist frustration with the shutdown’s toll, despite progressive opposition.
The director general of the BBC and the head of its news division have announced their resignations over a documentary which was accused of spreading fake news about U.S. President Donald Trump.
Senators will not be released to go home until the shutdown, now on its 39th day, is brought to an end. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) will keep the Senate in session until a government funding deal is struck,
