‘We will not stop’: Feds bust ISIS network planning Halloween massacre
Federal prosecutors say the FBI has broken up an ISIS-linked network stretching from Michigan to New Jersey, charging several young men in a coordinated investigation that allegedly involved plans for a Halloween mass shooting and efforts to join the Islamic State abroad.
Tomas Jimenez-Guzel, 19, of Montclair, New Jersey, and Saed Mirreh, 19, of Kent, Washington, were arrested this week in a New Jersey case tied to others already charged in Michigan.
The Justice Department announced the new charges Wednesday, calling the probe a “sprawling federal investigation” into extremists who used encrypted messaging to communicate. U.S. Attorney Alina Habba said the New Jersey defendants “had pledged themselves to ISIS” and were in “frequent communication with the Michigan cell.”
“We will continue to move swiftly and decisively whenever terrorism or hate threatens our communities,” Habba said Friday. “The threat of terrorism is real when Americans are threatened. We respond fast, focused and together.”
SUSPECTED SUBURBAN JIHADISTS FUELED BY SOCIAL MEDIA, ASSIMILATION LAPSES IN HOMEGROWN TERROR PLOT, EXPERT WARNS
A 93-page complaint filed Nov. 5 in the Eastern District of Michigan charges Ayob Asamil Nasser and brothers Mohmed Ali and Majed Mahmoud with conspiring to provide material support to ISIS. Prosecutors say the trio stockpiled AR-15-style rifles, shotguns, handguns and about 1,680 rounds of ammunition, referring to their plan as “pumpkin,” code for a Halloween day attack. Also charged is Milo Sedarat, 21, of New Jersey.
Agents say they trained at Detroit-area ranges, shared ISIS propaganda and discussed targeting LGBTQ bars in Ferndale and a Jewish center. During the Oct. 31 raids, the FBI seized tactical vests, GoPro cameras and magazines from homes and a U-Haul storage unit.
In Newark, Jimenez-Guzel and Mirreh face charges of conspiring to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization, The Associated Press reported. Jimenez-Guzel also faces an attempt count after agents arrested him Tuesday at Newark Liberty International Airport as he allegedly tried to fly to Turkey on his way to Syria.
SUSPECTED NEW JERSEY JIHADI FANTASIZED ABOUT KILLING JEWS WITH SWORDS IN ALLEGED ISIS PLOT: FEDS
Court filings cited by the AP say their travel plans “picked up speed after the Oct. 31 arrests” of several Michigan suspects “with whom they had been communicating.”
“We will not stop. We will follow the tentacles where they lead,” U.S. Attorney Jerome F. Gorgon Jr. said in Detroit.
FBI Detroit Special Agent Jennifer Runyan said her team will “continue to investigate, arrest and disrupt all attempts or plots to do harm … to defend the homeland.” Habba praised cooperation between the Michigan and New Jersey offices as “a model of coordination against extremist threats.”
Both complaints describe encrypted WhatsApp chats called “Muslimeen,” where suspects allegedly shared ISIS materials, arranged firearms training and discussed the “pumpkin” timeline. Officials believe the two groups were part of a single network, some planning domestic attacks and others seeking to join ISIS abroad.

The Michigan defendants remain in custody in Detroit; Jimenez-Guzel and Mirreh appeared in courts in Newark and Seattle.
All face charges of providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization, and additional juvenile cases may be under seal.

Democrats face risks as GOP links funding to Obamacare fight
A reckoning is coming.
Or shall we say “reckonings.”
And they’re coming, whether the government reopens soon or remains shuttered.
If the government stays closed, voters will likely torch both parties for not hammering out a deal. Air traffic delays are stacking up. Those problems only intensify as we near Thanksgiving and Christmas.
That’s to say nothing of multiple missed paychecks for federal employees, stress, economic consequences and no SNAP benefits for the needy.
SCHUMER, DEMS UNVEIL ALTERNATIVE SHUTDOWN PLAN, ASK FOR ONE-YEAR EXTENSION TO OBAMACARE SUBSIDIES
Some of those concerns will dissipate if lawmakers address the shutdown quickly. But there will be a reckoning if the shutdown drags deeper into November.
There are likely specific reckonings for both political parties.
For Republicans, it’s a resistance by GOP leaders to address spiking healthcare subsidies. Yes. The GOP is making a compelling argument that healthcare subsidies are only necessary because Obamacare is a problem and health care prices skyrocketed. So, Republicans are back fighting against Obamacare.
In fact, the entire government shutdown is not about spending levels and appropriations. It’s a re-litigation of the touchstone law passed under President Obama in 2010. And Republicans, despite multiple campaign promises and dozens of efforts to kill the law over a six-year period, failed at nearly every turn.
Despite issues with Obamacare, Democrats annexed the public’s concern about healthcare costs and linked that to government funding. Democrats appear like the party trying to address the issue as premiums spike. And Republicans, despite promises that they’ll get to it, are inert on the subject. They’re even championing efforts to lambaste Obamacare — much the same as they did in 2010 when Congress passed the law.
Republicans are latched on to the concept that the subsidies are “pumping money to insurance companies,” as Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., put it on Fox. Lankford also characterized those who benefited from Obamacare as a “select group.” It works out to about 24 million people. That’s 7% of the U.S. population. So, maybe that burns the GOP politically. Maybe it doesn’t.
A major reckoning looms for the Democrats, too.
It’s possible that a coalition of Democratic senators may break with the Democratic Party and support a new GOP plan to reopen the government on a temporary basis. Nowhere is it written that Democrats — who made the shutdown about health care — are guaranteed an outcome on Obamacare subsidies. Yes, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., have said they’ll address the health care issue after the government is open. But that’s not necessarily a fix.
TRUMP URGES SENATE REPUBLICANS TO REDIRECT FUNDS FROM OBAMACARE-BACKED INSURERS, PAY AMERICANS DIRECTLY
So Democrats are fuming.
Therefore, it’s a distinct possibility that Democrats will refuse to fund the government in an effort to extract a concession on Obamacare subsidies and walk away empty-handed.
Such an outcome will spark an internecine firestorm inside the Democratic Party. Progressives felt that Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., rolled them back in March when he and a squadron of other Democrats helped the GOP crack a filibuster to avoid a shutdown.
It’s doubtful that Schumer will help this time. But Senate Republicans hope to coax just enough Democrats to overcome the filibuster on a pending test vote and then fund the government through late January.
That’s the reckoning for the Democrats.
No outcome on health care. And getting the screws put to them by members of their own party.
Again.
Progressives will be apoplectic. And House Democrats will seethe — not so privately — at Senate Democrats.
The Senate’s test vote on the new GOP proposal could come as early as Sunday evening. The revised package would also fund the Department of Agriculture and Department of Veterans Affairs, plus Congress until Sept. 30, 2026.
Fox is told Republicans believe they are in range of persuading Democrats who are sweating the shutdown to join them.
Fox is told that air traffic control and flight delays are contributing to the Democrats’ consternation.
That said, it is believed that the Senate GOP leadership is reluctant to force a vote related to the retooled, spending bill without a guarantee it could break a filibuster. The last thing the Senate needs is another failed procedural vote after repeated failed test votes over the past six weeks.
REPUBLICANS TURN THEIR ATTENTION TO BASHING OBAMACARE AS SHUTDOWN ENTERS DAY 39
Let’s game out the timing for a moment:
By the book, if the Senate breaks the filibuster late Sunday, it’s doubtful the chamber can take a final vote on the package until Monday or Tuesday. But Fox is told there is a distinct possibility that Democrats could yield back time to expedite the process in the interest of quickly reopening the government. By the same token, angry liberal senators could bleed out the parliamentary clocks and attempt to amend the bill to their liking — presumably with Obamacare provisions.
The Senate must break yet another filibuster to finish the bill. Then it’s on to final passage. That only needs a simple majority. And even if some Democrats voted to hurdle the filibuster, they might not support the underlying plan at the end. However, that’s not a problem if GOP senators provide the necessary votes.
Then it’s on to the House. The House’s disposition is unclear on this legislation. However, it’s hard to believe that most Republicans wouldn’t take this deal. Reps. Tom Suozzi, D-N.Y.; Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, D-Wash.; and Jared Golden, D-Maine, are among moderate Democrats who may be in play to vote yes if the GOP loses a few votes. Golden was the lone House Democrat who voted for the old interim spending bill Sept. 19. Golden has since announced his retirement.
Another big question: Would the House swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz., before or after the vote? Democrats will bray if Johnson fails to swear in Grijalva before a possible House vote
And, as we say, it’s always about the math.
Swearing in Grijalva puts the House at 433 members with two vacancies. The breakdown is 219 Republicans to 214 Democrats. That means the GOP can only lose two votes before needing help from the Democrats.

Regardless, the House would not come back until at least the middle of next week if not later. It hinges on how fast the Senate can move if it has the votes to break a filibuster and what happens to the Obamacare question.
All of this is uncertain after 39 days of the government shutdown.
And the only thing that is certain is the political reckoning for both parties.
DAVID MARCUS: Zohran Mamdani will serve two terms, even if he ruins New York City
It was a rude awakening for some young, bright-eyed, bushy-tailed socialists in New York City last week, as they arrived at the Zohran Mamdani victory party in Brooklyn to discover that a Bud Light cost a whopping $13. I mean, what kind of socialist utopia is that?
In fact, the pricey suds are probably quite indicative of the impact that Zany Zohran’s policies will have across Gotham. It will almost certainly be more carnival of errors than clinical communist takeover, making New York City more expensive and less attractive, but with snazzy Soviet-style posters and TikTok videos.
And guess what? Even if crime skyrockets because Mamdani hates cops, buses still aren’t free, rents continue to go up and the city becomes more divided than ever – Mamdani will be a two-term mayor.
There’s no Republican Rudy Giuliani 2.0 waiting in the wings, and even if there was, this electorate wouldn’t pick him.
REPUBLICANS PUSH TO MAKE MAMDANI THE NEW FACE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
In the days prior to the election, I traveled around the five boroughs and found that among moderate and conservative New Yorkers there was no fear of apocalypse regarding Mamdani, even as billionaires, politicians and editorial boards scolded them for not lining up behind Andrew Cuomo to “save the city.”
“I don’t even go to Manhattan,” Steve, a lifelong Bay Ridge, Brooklyn resident, told me. “I’ve got everything I need right here.”
In Steve’s almost half a century in the blue-collar nabe where cops live and the mafia used to roam, he’s seen it survive not only under the disastrous leadership of former socialist Mayor Bill de Blasio, but the even worse old days of David Dinkins.
FLASHBACK: WILDEST MOMENTS MAMDANI OVERCAME ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL TO BECOME NYC’S NEXT MAYOR
Like The Dude in “The Big Lebowski,” this and so many hard working areas of New York City will abide. Other parts of the city, where gang crime, drug dealing and vagrancy fester, will get worse and worse, but such places are easily ignored by champagne socialists.
Another reason why Mamdani should have smooth sailing into a second term is that his base is transplants, young adults in their 20s and 30s who come to New York City to live it up, knowing full well that they will settle down somewhere else. To them, a little crime might as well be the mustard on a Nathan’s hot dog.
Ultimately, the reason that Gotham is looking at an eight-year sentence of Zohran’s socialist leadership is that the Republican Party, from the national, state and even city level, simply refuses to even try to compete.
NYC OFFICIAL EXPOSES MAMDANI’S ‘MARXIST PLAYBOOK’ IN REVEALING NEW FOX NATION SPECIAL
Some of this dates back to Michael Bloomberg, who cynically ran as a Republican in 2002 to win the mayor’s race and then abruptly became an Independent, all but making the GOP a third party, clinging to its one competitive congressional seat and a few city council slots.
Maybe it is hopeless for Republicans in Gotham. Maybe things will never get bad enough again, for everybody, that a new Rudy can emerge, and given how the original is treated today, who would want to be that person, anyway?
No matter how bad it gets, the city will blame Presidnt Donald Trump. Or Vice President JD Vance. Or racism, Islamophobia or whatever they can think of. Not for nothing, they’d have re-elected De Blasio if they could’ve.
LIZ PEEK: DEMOCRATS CHEER MAMDANI’S WIN — THEY’LL BE CRYING SOON ENOUGH
Note how the billionaires are now changing their tune, pledging to work with Mamdani, begging for meetings with their new commie mayor. Gone is the gnashing of teeth and wailing of wails over the death of New York City.
Right-leaning Gothamites never bought all the Sturm und Drang anyway, and they sure as hell don’t let rich guys tell them how to vote.
If there is any hope for the GOP to make a comeback in New York City, they better get started now, because with rank-choice primary voting there isn’t a moderate Democrat in the universe, to the extent they still exist, who could topple Zohran.
Elections have consequences, and for the next eight years, at least, in New York City the consequence is socialism. Like sitting at a two-hour recital after your kid has already performed, they’ll have to sit through the whole thing.

Those $13 dollar Bud Lights will be the least of it.
Buckle up, Gotham, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride, and if there is any Republican other than Curtis Sliwa who will stand up against socialism, they should say so now, or they may truly, forever hold their peace.
‘Fire all of them’: Frustrations erupt at busiest airport in the US
More than 1,000 flights have been canceled today nationwidem, and frustration is boiling over at Atlanta’s Hartsfield–Jackson Airport.
Fox News’ Madison Scarpino covered on ‘Fox Report’ that airlines are notifying travelers early, keeping the terminal relatively calm, but anxiety remains high.
Delays have already topped 4,000.“I’m very frustrated with the government… everybody’s suffering,” one traveler told Scarpino.
Another added: “Fire all of them… vote them all out.”
Airlines say they’ll refund or rebook affected passengers, but as Scarpino noted, everyone is hoping this gets resolved before the holiday rush.
U.S. airlines canceled 1,330 flights on Saturday, the second day of FAA-mandated service reductions tied to the ongoing government shutdown, according to Reuters.
FAA began enforcing 4% daily cuts on Friday, a number that will rise to 6% on Tuesday and hit 10% by Nov. 14 if the shutdown continues.
On Saturday alone, 5,450 flights were delayed, after more than 7,000 delays and 1,025 cancellations on Friday.
The four largest U.S. carriers: American, Delta, Southwest and United each cut roughly 700 flights as part of the FAA’s order.
FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford said 20% to 40% of controllers have stopped showing up for work. Many have now missed two straight paychecks, with fatigue contributing to hundreds of voluntary safety reports from pilots, according to Sen. Ted Cruz.
The shutdown, in its 39th day on Saturday, continues to strain aviation operations heading into the busy Thanksgiving travel period.
101-year-old survivor of Nazi terror warns of frightening parallels in today’s climate
Eighty-seven years after surviving the terror of Kristallnacht, a 101-year-old Holocaust survivor says the world today feels alarmingly similar to Nazi Germany in 1938.
Walter Bingham was 14 years old when Nazis and other Germans attacked Jewish businesses, stores, homes and places of worship.
During Kristallnacht, commonly referred to as the “Night of Broken Glass,” Nazis burned more than 1,400 synagogues, vandalized thousands of Jewish-owned businesses, broke into Jewish people’s apartments and homes, and desecrated Jewish religious objects, according to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
Roughly 26,000 men were also arrested and placed in concentration camps because they were Jewish.
U.S. REGISTERS MOST OUTBREAKS OF GLOBAL ANTISEMITISM IN AUGUST: WATCHDOG REPORT
Bingham, 101, told The Associated Press that the current climate against Jews and the rising instances of antisemitism in the wake of the Israel-Hamas war are reminiscent of those dark times.
“We live in an era equivalent to 1938, where synagogues are burned, and people in the street are attacked,” he said.
GRANDSON OF FORMER COMMANDANT OF AUSCHWITZ ON RISE OF ANTISEMITISM, HIS LIFE AS A PASTOR
A synagogue in Manchester was the target of a deadly terrorist attack on Yom Kippur in October when a man rammed a car into worshippers and stabbed victims outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation, killing two Jewish men.
A synagogue in Melbourne, Australia, was also set ablaze last year in an act that was condemned as an antisemitic attack by the country’s prime minister.
In 2024, the Anti-Defamation League reported 9,354 antisemitic incidents across the United States — a 5% increase from 2023, a 344% increase over the past five years, and an 893% increase over the past decade.
“Antisemitism, I don’t think, will ever fully disappear because it’s the panacea for all ills of the world,” Bingham told The Associated Press.
He said living in today’s climate feels eerily similar to Germany before the war, but he sees one important distinction.
“In those days, the Jewish mentality was apologetic,” Bingham explained. “Please don’t do anything to me, I won’t do anything to you.”

“Today, we have, thank God, the state of Israel, a very strong state,” he said. “And whereas antisemitism is still on the increase, the one thing that will not happen would be a Holocaust, because the state will see to it” that doesn’t happen.
Academy Award winner tells wealthy celebrities to stop preaching at award shows
Billy Bob Thornton is calling out celebrities who bring politics to award shows.
During a recent interview on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the 70-year-old actor shared he doesn’t really “care about awards anymore,” saying he’s “got plenty of them” and won most of them “under the wire, when awards were kind of real still.”
“I’ve won a couple recently,” he said. “But these days I just look at it as like, ‘Oh, OK, we’re gonna go over here and, you know, have some dry chicken breast and green beans, you know, and we’ll listen to people get up there and pontificate about how awesome they are.'”
He explained that if someone wins an award and is “truly honored by it,” he thinks they should take their time on stage to “honor the people who gave it to you,” rather than bring awareness to a cause.
EMMYS HOST NATE BARGATZE PROMISES NO POLITICAL JOKES AT AWARDS SHOW AFTER KIRK ASSASSINATION
He said, “There is a time and place for that,” and during award shows, “you should just stick to what it is.”
“Don’t go up there and talk about saving the badgers in Wisconsin or something, you know what I’m saying?” he said. “And people would argue and say, ‘Well, no, because I have a voice and because everybody knows me. This is a great platform for me to put this out there.’
“Well, how about this? If you have a billion dollars, and you want to save the badgers, f—ing save them,” he added. “I mean, you got plenty of money to save the badgers, trust me. That is not, that’s barely gonna cut into your budget.”
The host, Joe Rogan, agreed, adding it is like “saying how special you are because you’re really concerned about people in Sudan or whatever” and is their way “to let everybody know that you’re an amazing person.”
Thornton got his big break in Hollywood in the 1996 movie, “Sling Blade,” which he wrote, directed and starred in. The movie earned him an Academy Award win for best writing and a nomination for actor in a leading role.

Looking back on his career, Thornton told Fox News Digital in November 2024, he is happy he found success in his acting career when he was older.
“If I had been nominated for an Academy Award when I was 21, who knows what I would have done with it?” he said.
“Don’t go up there and talk about saving the badgers in Wisconsin or something, you know what I’m saying?”
“I think if it had happened when I was 18 or 21, who knows if I’d even be here now because I was a little bit looser back in those days.

Trump defends tariffs while vowing $2K dividend payments to all Americans from revenue
President Donald Trump said Sunday that people who do not support tariffs are “fools” and vowed to use the revenue generated from duties to fund a $2,000 dividend for Americans.
“People that are against tariffs are FOOLS! We are now the richest, most respected country in the world, with almost no inflation and a record stock market price,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post. “A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high-income people!) will be paid to everyone,” he added.
TRUMP DEFENDS TARIFFS, SAYS US HAS BEEN ‘THE KING OF BEING SCREWED’ BY TRADE IMBALANCE
Trump also said that due to his economic agenda, manufacturing plants and factories are seeing “record investment.” He also said that the U.S. will soon begin “paying down our ENORMOUS DEBT” which is currently hovering just north of $38 trillion, according to the latest numbers published by the Treasury Department.
Since Trump announced his “Liberation Day” tariffs in April, tariff revenues have climbed sharply from $23.9 billion in May to $28 billion in June and $29 billion in July. Total duty revenue reached $215.2 billion in fiscal year 2025, which ended Sept. 30, according to the Treasury Department’s “Customs and Certain Excise Taxes” report.
So far in fiscal year 2026, which began on Oct. 1, the U.S. has collected $35.9 billion.
Trump’s remarks came amid renewed legal scrutiny of his trade policies, as the Supreme Court last week began hearing oral arguments on whether Trump has authority under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs and whether those actions violate the Constitution’s separation of powers.
TRUMP SAYS SUPREME COURT CASE ON TRADE IS ‘LIFE OR DEATH’ FOR THE US
A federal appeals court ruled on Aug. 29 that Trump overstepped his authority by using emergency powers to impose new tariffs on imported goods. The lower court said that power lies squarely with Congress or within existing trade policy frameworks. Now, the nation’s highest court will decide the fate of Trump’s trade agenda.

The White House has previously defended Trump’s tariffs as a legitimate use of presidential powers to protect the economy in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“We look forward to ultimate victory on this matter with the Supreme Court,” wrote White House spokesperson Kush Desai, ahead of the oral arguments at the Supreme Court.
One of world’s most sacred landmarks expected to welcome record crowds this year
PARIS – As the Notre Dame Cathedral nears the one-year anniversary of its grand reopening after the April 2019 fire that devastated it, tourists and worshipers alike are once again embracing the historic landmark.
The cathedral is projected to receive over 12 million visitors by the end of this year — with some predictions as high as an unprecedented 15 million visitors.
The Friends of Notre-Dame de Paris, a nonprofit founded in 2017, has led international fundraising efforts to rebuild and restore the cathedral. Michel Picaud, president of the group, told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview the cathedral reached 8 million visitors for the year by August.
ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNCOVER ANCIENT BAPTISTERY IN FRANCE TIED TO EARLY CHRISTIAN RITUALS
“We are certainly the most visited monument and cathedral in France,” said Picaud.
“We expect to have 12 million visitors this year. So it’s typically a very high level of visits, and we are very happy [about] that.”
On April 15, 2019, a fire caused the collapse of the cathedral’s roof and part of its exterior; the fire also destroyed the interior.
The cathedral dates back to the 12th century. Construction began in 1163 and took nearly 200 years to fully complete. “Modified in the 18th century and restored in the 19th century, it is the symbol of Christian worship in Paris through the centuries,” notes the cathedral’s website. The structure measures approximately 420 feet long and 157 feet wide.

“In the interior of the cathedral, we had to replace what had been destroyed in the fire,” said Picaud.
“So, typically, the liturgical furnishing — you have a new altar, for instance, a new baptismal font. You have a reliquary of the crown of thorns of Christ, also, and new seating. This is what’s new.”
He said the next phase of the restoration will last four years, and will address the exterior.
“[It] will restore the exterior of the cathedral below roof level, especially the magnificent flying buttresses, the gargoyles and the grotesques — all that makes the exterior of Notre-Dame wonderful,” he said.

New stained-glass windows will also be installed, he said.
Picaud said the cathedral welcomes both believers and visitors, and hosts religious services throughout each day.
“We adjust the number of people entering the cathedral, depending on [whether] we have a service [in progress] or not, but I think this is now quite easy,” he said.
The circuit visit of the tower reopened in September, with visitors able to climb 424 steps to the top.
