Sept 24 (Reuters) – A US appeals court has for now reinstated an Ohio law requiring residents to present documentary proof of ​citizenship when registering to vote at the state’s motor ‌vehicle offices, in a boost for allies of President Donald Trump who want tighter voter registration rules.

• The 2-1 decision late on Wednesday by the Cincinnati-based 6th ​US Circuit Court of Appeals to pause a lower ​court ruling blocking the law was a win for Ohio’s ⁠Republican government ahead of the November 3 midterm elections.
• A competitive race ​for a Senate seat in Ohio is considered important for Democrats’ ​hopes of regaining control of the Senate.
• Lawyers for the advocacy groups who challenged the law, Red Wine & Blue and the Ohio Alliance for Retired Americans, ​did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
• Trump and Republicans in ​state governments across the country are pushing more restrictions on voter registration, based ‌in ⁠part on unsubstantiated claims of widespread illegal voting by non-US citizens.
• Democrats and voting rights advocates counter that voting by non-US citizens is rare, and greater restrictions can make it harder for US ​citizens to vote.
• In ​the Ohio case, ⁠Cleveland-based US District Judge Solomon Oliver Jr. in August granted a preliminary injunction blocking the state’s ​2025 law. He said that having voters attest in ​writing ⁠that they are US citizens was sufficient to let Ohio election officials assess their eligibility to vote.
• In temporarily pausing Oliver’s order, a three-judge ⁠6th ​Circuit panel said advocacy groups that challenged ​the law likely lacked standing, and that the order came too close to the ​election.

爱雍·乌节购物中心的食代馆食阁历经三个月的翻新工程后，将在下星期一（9月28日）重新开业，当中有九成的摊位是新入驻的。

根据大食代（Food Republic）星期四（9月24日）发布的文告，它经营的食代馆（Food Opera）将重现乌节路1970年代风貌，摊位的外观像当时的理发店和书店等，让食客仿佛走进时光隧道。占地2万平方英尺的食阁，能同时容纳600名食客用餐。

20个摊位中，有18个是新入驻，包括知名老招牌和米其林指南必比登推介的品牌，如立兴潮州鱼圆面、喜临门大饭店（小贩摊）、MP Thai等等。当中有六个品牌是首次在食阁设立据点。

食阁在其中一个角落开辟新的零售与生活方式空间，重点展示精选本地品牌，让外国游客及本地食客在现场享受美食之余，也能把新加坡的味道带回家。

爱雍·乌节（ION Orchard）的食代馆在关闭进行翻新前，发生过纠纷事件。知名电视制作人蔡和平6月初在社交媒体平台发文，说他幕后掌舵的烧腊品牌，被“踢出”食阁。但大食代当时澄清，双方是未能就商业条款达成协议。

Susan Collins defies blue-state headwinds in crucial Senate battle as new poll reveals striking split

The New York Times/Siena survey shows Collins at 49% among likely voters even as 55% prefer Democratic Senate control

September 24, 2026 11:31am EDT / Fox News

By Paul Steinhauser

GOP Sen. Susan Collins of Maine told Fox News Digital her Democratic challenger Troy Jackson apparently “struggles to control his temper” in Kittery, Maine, on Aug. 14, 2026.

A new poll indicates longtime Republican Sen. Susan Collins is ahead of her Democratic challenger in a crucial Senate showdown in blue-leaning Maine.

Collins, who is running for a sixth six-year term in the Senate, stands at 49% support among likely voters, with former Maine Senate President Troy Jackson, the Democratic nominee, at 46%, with 5% undecided in the New York Times/Siena poll. Collins’ three-point edge is within the survey’s margin of error.

Democrats are heavily targeting Collins as they work to flip the seat, which is key to their efforts to win back the Senate majority from the Republicans in the midterm elections.

The survey, which was conducted Sept. 15–22, is one of the first to indicate Collins ahead of Jackson since he replaced former Senate nominee Graham Platner in late July.

SIX FORCES THAT COULD HELP REPUBLICANS DEFY HISTORY IN THE MIDTERM ELECTIONS

Platner, a combat veteran and oyster farmer, won the June Democratic Senate primary in a landslide. But a month later he dropped out following an explosive report containing an allegation of rape from a woman he previously dated. Platner denied the report but stepped aside. Collins slightly trailed Platner in most polling at the time he ended his campaign.

Jackson, who campaigned alongside Platner earlier this year as he unsuccessfully ran for governor, won a special nominating convention to fill the party’s vacant Senate nomination.

The poll release came as Collins pushed back against a report by ProPublica that the FBI sought to launch a pay-to-play investigation examining Collins and others. The investigation was later dropped and no one working for Collins was charged.

Collins ripped the report as “offensive” and a “partisan hit job” orchestrated by Democrats.

Jackson took to social media to claim that “Susan Collins is blatantly corrupt.”

Collins’ advantage over Jackson in the new survey comes even as 55% of those questioned said they prefer Democrats to control the Senate next year, with 43% saying they’d like the GOP to retain the majority.

COLLINS TEARS INTO NEW REPORT ALLEDGING PAY-TO PLAY SCHEME

Likely boosting Collins are her favorable ratings, which are in positive territory, at 51%-48%. Meanwhile, Jackson, a fifth-generation logger and a one-time conservative Republican who became a Democrat over two decades ago and who is now running on a progressive platform, is underwater with 41% of those questioned viewing him favorably and 49% holding an unfavorable view.

As he quickly became the frontrunner in the abbreviated race to replace Platner, Jackson faced a slew of media reports over his alleged temper and workplace conduct, as well as reported claims of mortgage improprieties and other potential liabilities, including his past strict anti-abortion stance.

In August, a resurfaced 1988 police record which detailed accusations that Jackson assaulted a man and pushed his longtime partner during a late-night confrontation in Fort Kent, Maine, grabbed headlines.

Jackson, in a statement, said, “I took responsibility for it then, and I take responsibility for it now. But let me be clear: I have never been violent with my partner Lana, or any other woman.”

WHO’S UP AND WHO’S DOWN IN THE LATEST FOX NEWS MIDTERM ELECTION POLLING

Lana Pelletier, who, according to records, is Jackson’s second cousin, shares two adult children with him.

Collins, the only GOP senator seeking re-election in a state President Donald Trump lost in the 2024 election, is facing a rough political climate, amid Trump’s underwater approval ratings, persistent inflation, soaring fuel prices and what polls indicate is an unpopular war with Iran.

The senator, known as a moderate Republican who at times has voted against Trump, this summer received bipartisan praise after reaching a milestone by casting her 10,000th consecutive Senate vote.

But Democrats are taking aim at Collins over her comments that she didn’t regret her 2018 vote to confirm Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, despite his crucial vote four years later to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade abortion ruling.

And following the fatal shooting in Maine this summer involving Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, Democrats heavily criticized the Senate Appropriations Committee chair for her support for ICE funding.

But Collins has broken with Trump numerous times in recent months, criticizing his tariff war with neighboring Canada and voting against Attorney General Todd Blanche’s confirmation.

The senator has a history of surviving Democratic efforts to unseat her.

Six years ago, she trailed Democratic challenger Sara Gideon, the then-Maine House speaker, but the senator ended up winning re-election by nearly nine points while former President Joe Biden carried the state by a similar margin.

DEMOCRACY ’26: STAY UP TO DATE WITH THE FOX NEWS ELECTION HUB

The New York Times/Siena poll, in collaboration with The Portland Press Herald and sponsored in part by the Maine Trust for Local News, questioned 619 likely voters.

Fox News Digital reached out to both the Collins and Jackson campaigns for comment on the new survey, but didn’t receive a response at the time this story was published.

The New York Times and Siena on Thursday also released polls on two other crucial Senate showdowns that are must-holds for the Democrats.

In neighboring New Hampshire, the survey indicates Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas with a 50%-45% advantage over former Republican Sen. John E. Sununu, in the race to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.

Meanwhile, in Michigan, the poll indicates Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed ahead of former GOP Rep. Mike Rogers 49%-44% in the showdown to succeed retiring Democratic Sen. Gary Peters.

CNN, MS NOW and Politico denied access to White House despite judge’s order

2026-09-24T12:23:00.37Z / Reuters

WASHINGTON, Sept 24 (Reuters) – CNN, MS NOW and Politico journalists were ​barred from the White House on Thursday, just hours after a federal judge deemed US President Donald Trump’s ban of the three news outlets likely unconstitutional and ordered their access ​immediately restored.

The news organizations responded by requesting an immediate hearing before US District Judge Tim Kelly, whose ruling overnight ordered a halt to the ban for 14 days in a major setback for Trump. It is the latest in a series of confrontations over press freedom that have played out over the past week in the courtroom and White House grounds.

The Misinformation Monitor newsletter rounds up international misinformation narratives, with a “Real or Fake?” quiz in every edition. Sign up here.

Kelly found that the revocation of the White House credentials of the journalists “likely violated their constitutional due process rights.”

The judge, who ​Trump appointed in 2017 during his first presidential term, also raised doubts about the US Department of Justice’s national security arguments for justifying the ban, noting that Trump himself had ​said the action was due to what the president alleged was false or negative coverage.

Just hours after the ruling, however, the outlets still had not gained ⁠access to the White House. Whether that was due to intentional defiance of Kelly’s order or a matter of confusion within the White House security staff and systems remained unclear.

Representatives for the White House ​did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The Politico reporter’s credentials were confiscated, Politico said, while an MS NOW reporter said she was blocked from the White House. CNN said some of its staff ​members were denied entry onto the grounds.

Trump announced the ban last Friday on his social media platform, saying those news organizations “shouldn’t be able to constantly write or report FICTION and LIES when they’re covering the President of the United States.” Trump framed their reporting as a threat to US national security.

The three outlets sued Trump and other members of his administration on Monday, saying the ban violated the US Constitution’s First Amendment protections for free speech and a free ​press, as well as their due process rights. A coalition of press freedom groups and dozens of news organizations, including Reuters, later filed a legal brief supporting the three news outlets.

NATIONAL SECURITY CONCERNS

Kelly ordered ​the Trump administration to immediately return the outlets’ press passes and stop enforcing the ban for two weeks. The judge rejected the administration’s stated national security concerns.

“The record lacks factual support for defendants’ contention that the revocation of ​plaintiffs’ hard ⁠passes will in fact protect national security or that national security will be endangered if the court orders their passes reinstated while this litigation proceeds,” Kelly wrote.

In a filing on Tuesday, the Justice Department accused the outlets of threatening national security with their coverage, citing stories about US missile stockpiles, construction of Trump’s White House ballroom and turnout at the recent Republican midterm convention.

Theodore Boutrous, an attorney for the three outlets, welcomed the judge’s decision in a statement, saying: “This is a strong ruling vindicating freedom of the press, due process and the rule of law. We greatly appreciate the court’s swift action.”

In the wake of ​Trump’s ban, other members of the White House press ​pool of reporters who share resources to ⁠follow the US president’s movements have refused to record or disseminate his events until access is restored for CNN, MS NOW and Politico, acting in solidarity with their fellow journalists.

This occurred as Trump spoke at the United Nations and hosts Chinese President Xi Jinping in Washington this week, including events at the ​White House on Thursday.

There were no TV pool cameras set up for Xi’s arrival on the White House’s South Lawn Thursday morning, and FOX News, ​MS NOW and CNN did ⁠not air the two leaders’ arrival ceremony live.

TENSIONS WITH THE PRESS

Although other presidential administrations have battled with the press, Trump’s campaign against the media has been unprecedented. Upending decades of tradition, his White House had denied basic access to many major news organizations, launched personal attacks on journalists and filed multiple lawsuits against news organizations.

Kelly’s ruling came a day after Trump experienced another legal setback.

On Wednesday, an Iowa judge dismissed Trump’s 2024 lawsuit against ⁠the Des Moines ​Register newspaper and pollster J. Ann Selzer. Trump sued the Register, its parent company Gannett and Selzer over a poll ​published ahead of the November 2024 US election that showed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris leading him in Iowa. Trump accused the newspaper and its longtime pollster of fraudulently misleading readers.

In his ruling Wednesday, Iowa District Judge Scott Beattie said the poll was ​legally protected speech.

特朗普：将与习近平讨论安全、贸易、科技、AI等紧迫议题

美国总统特朗普说，习近平是首位对美国进行第二次正式国事访问的中国领导人，在本次访问期间，他将与习近平讨论安全、贸易、科技、人工智能（AI）等领域的紧迫议题。 他相信两人今天在这一些领域所做出的决定，将会为未来数十年的世界和平和繁荣奠定坚实基础。

中国国家主席习近平与夫人彭丽媛当地时间星期四（9月24日）上午10时零5分乘坐车抵达白宫，美国总统特朗普与第一夫人梅拉尼娅在白宫南门廊迎接。这是习近平时隔逾11年再度到访白宫。

美国海军陆战队军乐团将在白宫国事层演奏中美两国国歌后，特朗普与习近平分别致辞。

特朗普致辞时说，2016年首次当选美国总统以来，自己与习近平建立起了一份伟大的友谊。这份友谊是建立在相互尊重和两国人民的根本利益的基础上。

他指出，自己与习近平曾在世界各地共度时光，从德国到阿根廷，从日本到韩国，从北京到棕榈滩，“但令人惊讶的是，这是我们第一次在白宫相聚。正如习主席自己可以看到，自他上一次来访（2015年9月）以来，这里发生了很多变化”。

特朗普指出，他为美中两国的关系感到自豪，两国有非常好的关系，携手合作在两国面临的诸多问题上取得了重大的进展。

特朗普指出，他今年五月访问北京期间，美中设立了贸易理事会。 通过这一成功的新机制，双方的团队一直在努力推进建立一个更加平衡的贸易关系，其中包括为美国的农民寻找新的市场准入机会。

特朗普透露，在习近平本次访问期间，两人将就讨论涉及安全、贸易、科技、人工智能等领域的紧迫议题。 “我们今天在这一些领域所做出的决定，将会为未来数十年的世界和平和繁荣奠定坚实的基础。如果我们可以聚焦共同的利益，我相信我们能够取得很多成就。”

特朗普也提到第二次世界大战美中成为盟友，美国飞行员志愿到中国，为中国的存亡而战，成为传奇的非凡的飞虎队。“美国海军陆战队与中国人民的接触，也启发了陆战队采用了一个沿用至今的中文词语：攻和。海军陆战队用它来表达极大的热情。但在中文中，它的字面意思是‘一起工作’。”

特朗普总结时表示，正如美中人民曾携手赢得战争的胜利，自己将与习近平共同继续携手合作，为两国开创更美好的未来。

Hitler’s possible role in niece’s death under scrutiny after documents raise questions about alibi, report says

September 24, 2026 / 10:49 AM EDT / AFP / CBS News

Newly unearthed records in a Munich archive have cast doubt on Adolf Hitler’s whereabouts at the time of his niece’s suspicious 1931 death, according to news magazine Der Spiegel.

Hitler’s unusually close and controlling relationship with his niece, Geli Raubal, has long been the subject of speculation and rumor, and newspaper reports at the time suggested that Hitler may have played a role in her death.

Raubal died from a gunshot wound to the chest from a pistol belonging to Hitler, in what was officially determined to be a suicide.

According to the official account, Hitler’s personal servant, Georg Winter, discovered the 23-year-old Raubal’s body on the floor inside her locked room in Hitler’s apartment in Munich on Sept. 19, 1931, a Saturday.

Hitler, who at the time was a prominent far-right extremist but had not yet seized power in Germany, was away in the city of Nuremberg that day, giving him what appeared to be a strong alibi.

But according to an article in Der Spiegel, historian Harald Sandner recently discovered documents in archives in Munich casting doubt on that account — and raising questions about whether Nazi sympathizers in the police may have falsified records to protect Hitler.

Two death notices and an entry in an official local death registry all put the date of the discovery of Raubal’s body to Sept. 18, a full day earlier, when Hitler was known to still have been in Munich.

Strange relationship

Hitler’s relationship with Raubal, the daughter of his half-sister Angela Raubal, was the subject of intense speculation. Some contemporaries believed Hitler had been abusive or had pursued a sexual relationship with his relative.

Hitler reportedly strictly controlled nearly every aspect of Raubal’s life after she moved to Munich in 1927.

She reportedly argued intensely with Hitler just before her death after Hitler refused to allow her to move to Vienna.

Sandner told the magazine the discrepancy in the documents over the date of Raubal’s death may point toward a cover-up by the police, though there is no decisive proof.

Days after Raubal’s death, a left-wing Munich newspaper reported Hitler had been in a heated argument with his niece, that injuries had been found on her body and that Nazi officials held crisis meetings regarding how to present the matter to the public.

Other newspapers suggested Hitler might have had Raubal killed — or killed her himself — though the Nazi leader publicly denied those allegations in a statement.

WASHINGTON, Sept 24 (Reuters) – Two top Democrats in the US Senate launched a report on Thursday saying that oil and gas companies were rewarded with tax breaks, subsidies and rollbacks of environmental regulation after then-candidate Donald ​Trump asked them for $1 billion in donations during the 2024 campaign.

The report by Senators Chuck Schumer, ​the Democratic leader, and Sheldon Whitehouse, the top Democrat on the environment committee, ⁠was based on 19 investigations of regulatory rollbacks by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 13 investigations into nine ​other agencies and 13 probes into what they called 88 polluters.

The report says that hundreds of millions ​of dollars in campaign spending that it tracked after Trump’s ask of the energy companies resulted in hundreds of billions of dollars in tax breaks and revenues as the policies pushed consumers to purchase more fossil fuels.

“Working families foot the ​bill, through higher energy prices, weakened public services, and the long-term costs of climate and health damage, ​while Big Oil executives and shareholders reap the rewards,” the report said. “This is, at its core, a massive transfer of ‌wealth.”

The ⁠report could be a window into what issues Democratic lawmakers will hold hearings on should they take control of the Senate in November’s midterm elections. The senators will hold a press conference on the report at 9:45 a.m. ET.

White House spokeswoman Taylor Rodgers refuted the report.

“These Democrat Senators should do some self-reflection on their ​ties to the so-called ‘green’ ​energy industry. They wasted ⁠billions of American taxpayer dollars in the name of the Green New Scam,” Rodgers said.

In the administration’s latest move to dismantle environmental regulations, the EPA this ​month announced rules to repeal former President Joe Biden’s limits on carbon emissions from ​coal and ⁠gas-fired power plants and to prevent future climate-focused regulations on them. The moves are part of Trump’s efforts to unwind US climate policy that his administration says has hindered energy production.

The EPA said the move would save ⁠the ​industry hundreds of millions in compliance costs, while the Biden ​administration said its rule would result in hundreds of billion in benefits, including reduced medical bills for health problems caused by smog ​and other emissions.
