Today, NPR will lose access to the Pentagon because we will not sign an unprecedented Defense Department document, which warns that journalists may lose their press credentials for "soliciting" even unclassified information from federal employees that has not been officially approved for release. That policy prevents us from doing our job.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy claimed Monday that the upcoming “No Kings Day” protests are “part of” the antifascist movement known as antifa.

Speaker Mike Johnson on Friday slammed the No Kings protest march scheduled to take place at the National Mall next week, describing the planned protest as the “hate America rally” that would draw “the pro-Hamas wing” and “the antifa people.” His characterizations, however, drew condemnation from some Democrats who defended the protest movement, whose first big demonstration was overwhelmingly peaceful.

Progressive watchdog group Public Citizen says its 'No Kings" demonstrations are meant to defend democracy and protest what organizers call "executive overreach." Yet nationwide arrests, injuries and warnings about outside agitators are adding complexity to that narrative.

Another round of No Kings protests is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 18. It comes as members of the Trump administration push back on those protests.

Donald Trump has promised to crack down on dissent and sent troops into US cities. His allies are claiming antifa, the decentralized antifascist movement, is behind plans to protest. He’s looking for any pretext to go after his opponents.

Republicans in the Senate blocked a measure on Wednesday that would bar President Trump from using military force against boats in the Caribbean Sea, turning back an effort to check his power to wage war without authorization from Congress. The vote against bringing up the Democratic resolution was 51 to 48, mostly along party lines. It came less than a week after the U.S. military carried out the fourth strike in the Trump administration’s legally disputed campaign targeting alleged drug runners in the Caribbean.

Admiral Alvin Holsey, who has led U.S. military efforts in Latin America for less than a year, will step down as commander of U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) at the end of 2025, marking another high-profile departure from the Pentagon during a turbulent period of American military escalation in the Caribbean.

The military commander overseeing the Pentagon’s escalating attacks against boats in the Caribbean Sea that the Trump administration says are smuggling drugs said on Thursday that he was stepping down.

Navy Adm. Alvin Holsey, the commander overseeing US military operations against suspected Venezuelan drug smugglers in the Caribbean Sea, will retire at the end of the year, War Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Thursday.
