The Trump administration is not playing around when it comes to left wing violence. In an announcement on Thursday Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that four ANTIFA European-based groups will be designated as terrorist organizations. The new designations by Rubio comes two months after Trump signed an executive order labeling ANTIFA as a domestic terrorist organization. The Hill provided further context on the new terrorist group designations: Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Thursday that four European-based groups would be designated as terrorist organizations as part of the administration’s commitment to confront the “antifa” movement — a catch-all term for far-left groups opposing fascism, sometimes violently. The foreign designations come after the Trump administration in September designated antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. “The United States will continue using all available tools to protect our nation from these anti-American, anti-capitalist, and anti-Christian terrorist groups,” Rubio, who also serves as national security adviser, said in a statement. The administration singled out the German-based Antifa Ost, the Italian-based International Revolutionary Front (FAI/FRI), and two groups in Greece, the Armed Proletarian Justice and the Revolutionary Class Self Defense, as groups now designated as foreign terrorist organizations. The designations are slated to go into effect Nov. 20. In a fact sheet, the State Department laid out its evidence against the groups. It described Antifa Ost as conducting between 2018 and 2023 “numerous attacks against individuals it perceives as ‘fascists’ or part of the ‘right-wing scene’ in Germany” and accused it of having conducted a series of attacks in Budapest in mid-February 2023. The State Department noted that Hungary declared Antifa Ost to be a terrorist organization in September. President Trump met with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán at the White House last week.

Marco Rubio designates ANTIFA a FOREIGN terrorist organization – an escalation ABOVE the current domestic designation. This will SURGE the government’s ability to choke their funding source and end their activities! RUBIO: “The Department of State is designating four Antifa groups as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists. The United States will continue using all available tools to protect our nation from these anti-American, anti-capitalist, and anti-Christian terrorist groups.” Members of ANTIFA, a foreign terrorist group so designed under the law, are lawfully subject to drone strikes, via the Memo from the Office of Legal Counsel, obtained during the Obama administration. https://t.co/gWVvqcPXxZ pic.twitter.com/kLyDae2txl — Cernovich (@Cernovich) November 13, 2025 Read the official press release from the State Department below: Today, building on President Trump’s historic commitment to confront Antifa’s campaign of political violence, the Department of State is designating German-based Antifa Ost, along with three other violent Antifa groups in Italy and Greece, as Specially Designated Global Terrorists and intends to designate all four groups as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, effective November 20, 2025. The designation of Antifa Ost and other violent Antifa groups supports President Trump’s National Security Presidential Memorandum-7, an initiative to disrupt self-described “anti-fascism” networks, entities, and organizations that use political violence and terroristic acts to undermine democratic institutions, constitutional rights, and fundamental liberties. Groups affiliated with this movement ascribe to revolutionary anarchist or Marxist ideologies, including anti-Americanism, “anti-capitalism,” and anti-Christianity, using these to incite and justify violent assaults domestically and overseas. The United States will continue using all available tools to protect our national security and public safety and will deny funding and resources to terrorists, including targeting other Antifa groups across the globe.

Here’s something to lighten up your day. During a recent MAHA Summit hosted by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Vice President JD Vance revealed who he thinks who is the funniest person in the Trump cabinet outside of President trump. Vance was asked by RFK Jr. who he thinks is the funniest person in the cabinet to which Vance responded, Marco Rubio. Watch here: Backup here if needed: JUST IN – IT’S OFFICIAL: MARCO RUBIO has been voted funniest person in President Trump’s Cabinet VANCE: “Outside of the president? Marco.” RFK: “Yeah. Marco. NO RIVAL!” VANCE: “Great comedic timing.” RFK: “He says something that makes EVERYBODY laugh at least once… pic.twitter.com/AGeSBnrnRs — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) November 12, 2025 To be honest I didn’t expect that! Rubio usually looks the most serious out of the bunch. The Associated Press reported more on the MAHA Summit: Vice President JD Vance on Wednesday praised Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s willingness to question established science and embrace nontraditional voices in the health care space, saying that often throughout history, “all the experts were wrong.” In remarks in a fireside chat between the two men at a “Make America Healthy Again” summit in the nation’s capital, Vance also propped up Kennedy’s MAHA movement, saying it has been “a critical part of our success in Washington.” Vance’s words show how Kennedy, whose wrecking-ball approach to public health agencies and longstanding vaccine skepticism have made him a polarizing figure among the public and in Congress, has been embraced by the White House as a needed force for change. “Of all the specific initiatives that you guys have worked on effectively, the most important thing is that your team is willing to ask questions that people in government haven’t been asking in a long time,” Vance told Kennedy onstage. The Vance-Kennedy event was livestreamed, but the summit was otherwise off limits to the press. Even as President Donald Trump and Kennedy have disagreed on issues from COVID-19 vaccines to abortion, the White House this year has largely left Kennedy alone as he has made sweeping changes to the agencies he leads, including laying off thousands of workers, firing science advisers and remaking vaccine guidelines. Here’s a clip on a more serious topic from the summit: .@VP‘s MIC DROP MOMENT at the MAHA summit “There’s this attack where people will say, ‘well, you know, that conclusion is not supported by the science’.. ..Science, as practiced in its best form, is if you disagree with it, then you ought to criticize it & argue against it,… pic.twitter.com/s76JQeX2wq — Townhall.com (@townhallcom) November 12, 2025

The government shutdown is over. And as we have reported, that entire debacle BEGAN with a fight over healthcare. The Democrats were infamously demanding FREE HEALTHCARE FOR ILLEGALS at the start of it all, though they tried to hide that demand with help from the media. But then on top of that, they wanted Republicans to continue subsidizing the failed UN-Affordable Care Act. Now, with the shutdown over… and none of those outlandish demands from the Democrats met — President Trump is poised to deliver a deathblow to Obamacare. His intentions to scrap Obamacare are not new. But he just announced his commitment to overhauling the basic system of HIGHLY INFLATED subsidy payments from the federal government going directly to insurance companies. Instead, he wants any funds payed out under the ACA to go STRAIGHT to the pockets of Americans. The full extent of his plan is still being worked out — we could be looking at a complete REPLACEMENT of Obamacare judging by some of the President’s statements. At the very least, this will be a step in the right direction; if President Trump and Republicans in Congress can pull it off. Check out this clip of the President speaking from the Oval Office yesterday, throwing down the gauntlet against Obamacare: As I said, President Trump has been consistently against Obamacare. But within the past few days — knowing the Democrats didn’t have a leg to stand on with their non-existent shutdown demands — he seems to have realized that now is the time to strike. The President started ramping up his rhetoric against Obamacare more than a week ago, while the shutdown fight still raged. Check out this Truth Social post he put out last week, calling on Congressional Republicans to ‘TERMINATE’ Obamacare!: Here’s the full text of his post from last Saturday, in case that’s hard to make out: I am recommending to Senate Republicans that the Hundreds of Billions of Dollars currently being sent to money sucking Insurance Companies in order to save the bad Healthcare provided by ObamaCare, BE SENT DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE SO THAT THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE, and have money left over. In other words, take from the BIG, BAD Insurance Companies, give it to the people, and terminate, per Dollar spent, the worst Healthcare anywhere in the World, ObamaCare. Unrelated, we must still terminate the Filibuster! The consistency of the President’s comments on the payout change indicates to me that he is digging in his heels for a fight. Two days ago he went on Fox News with Laura Ingraham. She asked him about Obamacare, specifically about the SUBSIDIES required to make Obamacare ‘work’. Check out this clip in which he iterates several key points of how he wants to change the current payout system: Trump: “What I want is instead of going to the insurance companies, I want the money to go into an account for people where the people buy their own health insurance. It’s so good. The insurance will be better. It’ll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They’re gonna feel like… pic.twitter.com/XFFtdQebmm — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) November 11, 2025 While that isn’t on par with a full repeal, and it doesn’t completely do away with the subsidized system — which would be preferable if we were to put this thing back on a CONSERVATIVE track… His plan would do three big things according to what he said in that clip: It would allow individuals to shop and choose their own healthcare plan, as opposed to being FORCED into a plan by the government… While ensuring those funds couldn’t be misused — they can only go for health insurance. It would by effect help correct the inflated price gouging on the part of insurance companies by returning a competitive atmosphere to the health insurance market. House Speaker Johnson seems to be in lockstep with the President’s planned overhaul, at least in theory, as reported by Fox News: President Donald Trump has urged Senate Republicans to abolish Obamacare and reroute federal health care spending directly to individual Americans. Trump and Republicans have renewed their criticism of the program amid the government shutdown, arguing it drives up costs and enriches insurance companies at taxpayers’ expense. Trump spent much of his first term trying to repeal the law. Obama and Democrats argue it made health care more available and affordable for millions of Americans. House Speaker Mike Johnson on Thursday told reporters Thursday that he would not commit to holding a vote on extending COVID-19 pandemic-era enhanced Obamacare subsidies, which are set to expire at the end of this year without congressional action. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., had been floating a vote on such an extension in exchange for Democrats voting to end the shutdown. The issue of enhanced Obamacare subsidies has been a matter of debate within the GOP, with some Republicans in more moderate districts calling for at least a year-long extension to give lawmakers time to create a new healthcare deal in its place. If you noticed the section I highlighted in bold from that Fox News article, you probably already know I’m laughing at the Democrats right now. They pushed and pushed to get the Senate Majority Leader to promise to at least give them a vote on continuing the Obamacare subsidies… Which EVEN IF THE SENATE PASSED a continuing resolution to keep funding Obamacare — it doesn’t mean anything if the Speaker of the House doesn’t cave! Well played, Republicans.  (For a change…) Journalist Eric Daugherty shared a clip of Speaker Johnson talking about the issue yesterday, in fact. Check out that clip here, in which Johnson hints at a renewed focus on fixing Obamacare, and points out that premiums have risen by more than 60% in many cases under Obamacare: JUST IN: Speaker Johnson is taking a BLOWTORCH to the “Affordable Care Act” Obamacare as Democrats seek to give money to Big Insurance. President TRUMP wants it going right to the people. “They wanna subsidize insurance companies! […] THEY created the subsidy. THEY’RE the… pic.twitter.com/UZ9lNzMZ2M — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) November 13, 2025 Here’s the full text of Daugherty’s post with several quotes from that clip. Notice the part where he excitedly alludes to “next week”, apparently referencing the focus on changing Obamacare once the shutdown had ended: JUST IN: Speaker Johnson is taking a BLOWTORCH to the “Affordable Care Act” Obamacare as Democrats seek to give money to Big Insurance. President TRUMP wants it going right to the people. “They wanna subsidize insurance companies! […] THEY created the subsidy. THEY’RE the ones who set it to expire Dec. 31, 2025…now, they claim it’s Republicans’ fault?” “The Democrats created it. The Democrats broke it. The Democrats are driving your costs up. Who are you gonna trust on healthcare? It’s the Republican Party!” “Next week. Get ready! We’re gonna give you a timeline of WHO destroyed American healthcare. And I’ll give you a hint – it didn’t have ANYTHING to do with the GOP. It was the Democrats.” “Your premiums have gone up by 60% or MORE.” Pass Trump’s plan! While I have MANY more fish to fry with Obamacare, I have to admit that simply changing the path of the cash would be an enormous improvement. And at least one Republican Senator is busy creating a possible bill to put the President’s overhaul into action, according to this report from CNN: Trump urged Senate Republicans in a Truth Social post on Saturday to send the money used to offset the costs of ACA health care premiums “directly to the people” so they can “purchase their own, much better, health care.” The president did not provide any further details, though fiscal hawk GOP Sen. Rick Scott enthusiastically announced on X that he’s “writing the bill right now.” More than 90% of Obamacare enrollees qualify for the enhanced subsidies in 2025. Republicans have decried the subsidy system as enriching insurers, with some supporting sending the funds directly to Americans to give them more control over their health insurance decisions. Trump’s appeal to Senate Republicans comes as Democratic lawmakers are digging in on their attempt to force the GOP to the negotiating table on extending the enhanced ACA subsidies that are due to expire at the end of this year. House Speaker Mike Johnson has indicated that his conference is working on a health care plan to address their concerns about the existing system under Obamacare, though GOP leaders have not divulged any details. The failure of Obamacare goes even deeper than the subsidies required to make it work. The problem is that the system is now (INTENTIONALLY) so complex, held together with the financial equivalent of duct tape, that it becomes incredibly hard to tweak. I would hope for a complete repeal, and a return to true conservative principles in a replacement. And who knows — we might get to that point as the President’s push to ‘fix’ Obamacare takes shape. The push to take on Obamacare seems to be just now truly coming into focus for this Trump Administration and Republicans in Congress. With the shutdown behind us, and Democrats left standing on thin ice — I’m expecting big moves in that direction in the coming days. We’ll bring you all the details as it plays out.  

As WLT Report previously reported, President Trump has announced that he plans to issue a dividend check from the revenue generated from tariffs to the American people. Treasury Secretary  Scott Bessent further revealed, the checks will be in the amount of $2,000 and given to households making less then $100,000. However, as it stands right now the revenue generated by tariffs is not enough to cover the estimated $300 billion cost of the dividend checks — at least, according to ABC News. ABC News provided a breakdown of the numbers and how the payout can still be paid: The message did not specify who would qualify for the payout or how the policy would operate. Two pandemic-era stimulus checks authorized by Trump were made available to individuals bringing in as much as $75,000 per year and couples earning up to $150,000. Beyond those benchmarks, higher earners were eligible for smaller payments. If Trump were to make the dividend payments available to anyone earning $100,000 or less, the policy would reach about 150 million Americans, amounting to roughly $300 billion in dividends, Erica York, a policy expert at the Tax Foundation, said in a post on X. As of Sept. 30, the federal government had generated $195 billion in tariff-related revenue, according to the Treasury Department. By that math, the estimated $300 billion cost of the dividend check proposal would far exceed the amount of currently available tariff revenue. In theory, however, the Trump administration could promise to pay the dividend from anticipated tariff revenue. The Treasury Department has forecast $3 trillion in tariff revenue over the next decade. Should the Trump administration choose that route, the dividend payments would add to the federal debt, which currently stands at over $38 trillion, according to the Treasury Department. President Trump confirms he is planning to give $2,000 dividend checks to US citizens with the rest of the tariff money going towards our debt: pic.twitter.com/i0D9CtY3LJ — Derrick Evans (@DerrickEvans4WV) November 10, 2025 ABC News reported Trump is committed to give Americans $2,000 in checks: President Donald Trump remains “committed” to sending each American a $2,000 dividend check to be distributed from tariff revenue, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Wednesday. White House officials are exploring ways to execute the plan put forward by Trump in a social media post over the weekend, Leavitt added, but she did not provide details about specific options. “The president made it clear he wants to make it happen,” Leavitt told reporters at the White House. “So his team of economic advisers are looking into it.” The firm stance from the White House comes days after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent appeared to cast doubt on Trump’s proposal, saying the payout could merely refer to tax savings enshrined by Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill legislation.

Verizon, one of the world’s largest telecommunications companies, plans to cut approximately 15,000 jobs as part of a restructuring plan under its new CEO. The layoffs will impact about 15% of its employees, making it the largest workforce reduction in the wireless carrier’s history. Next week, Verizon is set to lay off about 15,000 employees which is roughly 15% of its workforce, marking the largest job cuts in the wireless carrier’s history as part of its ongoing restructuring. pic.twitter.com/fF4xey2NbH — Breaking911 (@Breaking911) November 13, 2025 More from The Independent: The cuts, following the appointment of former PayPal boss Dan Schulman as CEO in early October, are aimed at its non-union management ranks and are expected to affect more than 20% of that workforce, one source said. Verizon also plans to transition around 180 corporate-owned retail stores into franchised operations, the source added. A Verizon spokesperson declined to comment. Verizon’s shares rose about 1.4% on the news. They have largely stagnated over the last three years, with a gain of 8% compared with the S&P 500’s near-70% rise. Verizon is battling rising competition as subscriber growth slows and cautious consumers are unwilling to buy premium wireless plans. It has faced mounting pressure from rivals AT&T and T-Mobile as the U.S. wireless market matures. “We will invest significantly across all elements of our marketing mix and customer experience to drive mobility and broadband growth, and we will fund these investments by aggressively reducing our entire cost base,” Schulman said, according to Fox Business. “We will be a simpler, leaner and scrappier business. This work is overdue and will be multi-year and an ongoing way of life for us,” he added. The cuts are expected to begin as soon as next week. Verizon had roughly 100,000 employees at the end of fiscal year 2024.

This cannot continue, and there is no question that meaningful change is needed,” he said. Shifting to a customer-first culture will simultaneously drive a much more efficient cost structure that will support the company’s incremental investments to enhance customer experience, Schulman told investors. He also rejected the premise that focusing on customer satisfaction would hurt profit margins. “I think this industry and clearly, Verizon are only scratching the surface of increased bottom line performance,” he added.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem announced on Thursday that TSA agents with “exemplary service” during the federal government shutdown will receive $10,000 bonus checks. “I’m pleased to announce that under @POTUS Trump, we are giving a $10,000 bonus to TSA officers across our nation who went above and beyond during the Democrats’ shutdown,” Noem said. “They guaranteed that America wouldn’t shut down – no matter how badly the Democrats wanted average Americans to feel the pain. Their unsung patriotism deserves recognition. President Trump and I are so grateful for these patriots,” she added.

Noem said there were “tens of thousands of individuals who stepped up and continued to serve” during the last six weeks. When asked whether that was referring to those who did not call out sick or stay home for other reasons, Noem said, “that’s not necessarily the parameters.” “We’re going to look at every individual that did exceptional service during this period of time when there were so many hardships,” she said.

In total, according to NBC News, several thousand TSA workers will receive the bonuses. The recipients were noted by their supervisors for going "above and beyond" and for "exemplary" work amid the shutdown. President Donald Trump signed a bill late Wednesday to fund agencies through Jan. 30, ending a shutdown that prompted layoffs and forced many federal employees — including air traffic controllers and TSA officers — to work without pay.
