Tonight marks a milestone for all of us at the PBS News Hour. On this day 50 years ago, we aired our first broadcast. The show had a different name, but the same mission to deliver thoughtful & trustworthy journalism. Half a century later, we're still at it & guided by the same principles & mission.

ICE has killed at least 19 people since it began its kidnapping spree under orders of Donald Trump; most victims died while in internment due to “illness” caused by the deliberate poor conditions they are held in.

Trump’s ICE Jacks Up Weapons Spending by 700%—Including ‘Guided Missile Warheads’

“ICE was always going to be Trump’s private military to deploy domestically against Americans,” said one critic.

Trump’s ICE Jacks Up Weapons Spending by 700%—Including ‘Guided Missile Warheads’ | Common Dreams

The Trump administration's massive increase in funding for ICE weapons is alarming. ICE is now armed to the teeth, treating its officers as a private military to deploy against Americans. Why does ICE...

Today, I'm honored to be here in Collinsville with the great Glyn Ramage — a champion of the working people.

His legacy will forever be enshrined here at the new Downstate Laborers' District Council Building.

And I’m proud to recognize October 20, 2025, as Glyn Ramage Day.

🚨 A woman walking to work in Chicago gets snatched up off the street by ICE. Nothing American in this video. She keeps asking for help over and over. All she gets is a photographer taking her picture and hauled off like an animal. 1/2

If you take the MAGA troll farms and fake accounts all you are left with is a handful of really disturbed washed up losers. The 2024 election was stolen and there were plenty of chances to challenge it. Hopefully the last year has served as a lesson in who to actually trust.

Reminder to our international friends that under no circumstances should you be travelling to the United States. Avoid all unnecessary or leisure travel for your safety and privacy. Palantir doesn’t stop spying on you once you leave the country and it puts your nation at risk. Be aware.

The international boycott on the US under Trump continues. We call on our international allies to continue boycotting the United States. Canada alone has reduced alcohol purchases by 85%.

The US is welcome to join us by launching a general strike. #3E #BoycottUSA

BREAKING: A 9th Circuit panel all but allows Trump to deploy National Guard troops in Portland, Oregon. While another order blocking deployment still remains, the DOJ will likely ask for it to be dissolved, which would allow Trump to officially move troops in.
