Portland ANTIFA FAFO

Over the weekend, Portland saw another round of violent demonstrations at the city’s ICE facility. Hundreds of protesters, many wearing black bloc clothing, blocked roads, disrupted bus service, and clashed with federal agents. Officers deployed pepper balls, and several protesters were arrested after refusing to disperse. President Trump recently sent 200 National Guard troops to Portland to reinforce security, citing months of unrest around the ICE site. Conservative journalist Nick Shirley was assaulted on camera while covering the protests, further fueling debate over Antifa-aligned groups and the city’s handling of law enforcement. Local leaders have faced criticism for taking a hands-off approach, with some reports pointing to “antifa safe houses” shielding offenders.

In the UK, a terror attack struck the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue in Manchester on Yom Kippur. A man drove into pedestrians before stabbing worshippers and was shot dead by police after being found with a fake explosive vest. Two men were killed and three others seriously injured. Greater Manchester Police declared a major incident, Prime Minister Keir Starmer chaired an emergency COBRA meeting, and synagogues across the UK were placed under heightened protection. Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis condemned the attack as “the day we hoped we would never see.”

Meanwhile, in Washington, Day 2 of the U.S. government shutdown has been defined by online meme battles and major budget decisions. The White House amplified an AI-generated video mocking Hakeem Jeffries in a sombrero, sparking widespread discussion. Trump also met with Russ Vought, former OMB director and the architect of Project 2025, to plan deep cuts to federal agencies. Early steps include canceling $8 billion in climate projects and freezing $18 billion in New York infrastructure funds. Trump and Vought have framed these moves as targeting “Democrat waste,” while Democrats accuse the administration of politicizing the shutdown.

This video breaks down the Portland protests, the Manchester synagogue terror attack, and the latest on the shutdown, including Trump’s use of meme tactics and Russ Vought’s Project 2025 playbook.
