- FBI agents diverted from domestic terrorism investigations to immigration enforcement — Approximately 2,840 FBI agents out of 13,800 have been diverted to immigration enforcement work at the direction of FBI Director Kash Patel. The impacts have been severe: nearly every agent on Baltimore's domestic terrorism squad was reassigned full-time to immigration enforcement, forcing them to abandon investigations of networks targeting and exploiting children online. Former FBI officials warned that the diversion leaves extremist movements with greater latitude to operate.

- Peter Thiel hosts series of off-the-record lectures on antichrist theology and apocalyptic politics — Between September 15 and October 6, 2025, tech billionaire and political operative Peter Thiel hosted four ticketed lectures ($200 per ticket, sold out) in San Francisco on the antichrist, apocalypse, and end-times theology. Attendees were forbidden from recording or photographing the events. Thiel argued that a future antichrist figure would consolidate global power by exploiting fears of existential threats (climate change, AI, nuclear war) to impose technological stagnation and one-world government. He identified potential antichrist-adjacent figures including Greta Thunberg, Eliezer Yudkowsky, and others he views as "luddites," while defending figures like Marc Andreessen and Elon Musk. The lectures blended biblical exegesis, conspiracy theory, and political commentary, with Thiel expressing skepticism of international institutions (UN, ICC) and support for JD Vance as a katechon (restraining force).
