Trump Melts Down Over 'Jeffrey Epstein Hoax' — And The Internet Explodes

Trump and EpsteinPresident Donald Trump’s meltdown on Wednesday over what he called the “Jeffrey Epstein hoax” had quite an impact on social media.

The president took to his Truth Social platform and posted a lengthy diatribe in which he referred to speculation about the convicted sex offender’s clients as “bullshit” that his own “PAST supporters have bought into ... hook, line, and sinker.”

He also said Epstein truthers were “weaklings” who are doing the Democrats’ work and insisted, “I don’t want their support anymore!”

Trump’s post came a day after he claimed the so-called Epstein files were fabricated by former FBI Director James Comey and former Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden.

The financier had associated with various politicians, including both Trump and Bill Clinton, and was facing sex trafficking charges before his 2019 death in a New York jail cell. But Trump’s DOJ and FBI heads recently stated that no “Epstein client list” exists, generating even more speculation from the public.

The Trump administration reverses its promise to publish key climate reports online

Trump will not put climate reports onlineThe Trump administration on Monday took another step to make it harder to find major, legally mandated scientific assessments of how climate change is endangering the nation and its people.https://www.npr.org/2025/07/01/nx-s1-5453501/national-climate-assessment-nca5-archive-report

Earlier this month, the official government websites that hosted the authoritative, peer-reviewed national climate assessments went dark. Such sites tell state and local governments and the public what to expect in their backyards from a warming world and how best to adapt to it. At the time, the White House said NASA would house the reports to comply with a 1990 law that requires the reports, which the space agency said it planned to do.

But on Monday, NASA announced that it aborted those plans.

"The USGCRP (the government agency that oversees and used to host the report) met its statutory requirements by presenting its reports to Congress. NASA has no lreegal obligations to host globalchange.gov's data," NASA Press Secretary Bethany Stevens said in an email. That means no data from the assessment or the government science office that coordinated the work will be on NASA, she said.

The BBC has alienated everyone with its Gaza coverage. After this latest failure, who will be left to defend it?

Gaza coverage by BBCFor a genocide to occur, everything that people think is wrong has to first be turned on its head. There have been endless examples of this gruesome phenomenon in the past 21 months; Monday’s report on the BBC’s scrapped documentary about the plight of children in Gaza is just the latest instance.

Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone was a rare example of the unbearable experiences of Palestinians being properly investigated by Britain’s public broadcaster. But within the media, this documentary has become a bigger scandal than the suffering of Palestinian children.

When a researcher named David Collier, who has written widely in defence of Israel, discovered that the 13-year-old narrator of the film, Abdullah, was the son of the deputy agriculture minister in Hamas’s government, all hell broke loose. After a deafening chorus of condemnation from pro-Israel lobby groups, British newspapers and the government, the documentary was taken off iPlayer.https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jul/15/bbc-alienated-everyone-gaza-bias

Monday’s review states that the failure to disclose this connection violated the BBC’s editorial guidelines, which stipulate that the corporation must “provide full transparency to its audience”. But it concludes that Hoyo Films, the indepehttps://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jul/15/bbc-alienated-everyone-gaza-biasndent production company that made the film, did not intentionally mislead the BBC. It says Hoyo’s view had been – rightly – that Abdullah’s father had a “civilian or technocratic” position wihttps://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/jul/15/bbc-alienated-everyone-gaza-biasthin Hamas as opposed to a political or military role, and that it had simply “made a mistake” in not informing the BBC.

Mike Johnson wades into Epstein files row in rare split with the president

Mike Johnson defies TrumpUS House speaker Mike Johnson has waded into the Epstein files saga that is roiling Donald Trump’s conservative base – by calling on the justice department to release the Epstein files.

Johnson, a key ally of the US president, was asked about the controversy during an interview for a rightwing podcast. “It’s a very delicate subject, but we should put everything out there and let the people decide it,” Johnson told Benny Johnson, in comments released on Tuesday. “I agree with the sentiment that we need to put it out there.”

Referring to a comment attorney general Pam Bondi made to Fox News this year that Epstein’s client list was “sitting on my desk right now to review”, Johnson said: “She needs to come forward and explain that to everybody.

“We need the DoJ focusing on the major priorities. So let’s get this thing resolved,” the speaker added.

The comments put Johnson at odds with Trump, who has defended Bondi’s handling of the case.

Pentagon pulls 2,000 National Guard members from Los Angeles in immigration rollback

Calif. Nat'l GuardThe Trump administration is pulling half of the California National Guard members it deployed to Los Angeles in a major rollback of President Donald Trump's militarized response to protests in Southern California over immigration arrests and raids.

“Thanks to our troops who stepped up to answer the call, the lawlessness in Los Angeles is subsiding," Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a July 15 statement. "As such, the Secretary has ordered the release of 2,000 California National Guardsmen (79th IBCT) from the federal protection mission."

Trump deployed 4,000 California  National Guardsmen on June 7 to respond to protests that racked the southern part of the state after he stepped up immigration raids and arrests, targeting farms, restaurants, and hardware stores across the Los Angeles area. He also ordered 700 Marines to the city that were tasked with guarding federal property.

The deployment was decried by the state's Democratic lawmakers, who have called an overreach of presidential authority and accused Trump of inciting violence. Trump has claimed that the "Los Angeles would be burning right now" if not for the military presence.

14 Senators Posed With Netanyahu – But Said Nothing When a Palestinian-American Was Killed by Israeli Settlers

14 Senators pose with NetanyahuLast Wednesday, 14 Republican and Democratic senators took a chummy photo with Benjamin Netanyahu, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court on war crimes charges.

It was just a taste of the hobnobbing the genocidal Israeli leader enjoyed during his third visit to Washington, DC, since Donald Trump’s re-election.Some in the photo shared the image on social media, cheerfully welcoming the chance to spend time with Netanyahu.

Yet, two days later, when Israeli settlers brutalized a 20-year-old American, beating him to death, there was silence.

That 20-year-old was Sayfollah Musallet, a Florida native, who was pronounced dead by the time he arrived at a hospital in the occupied West Bank. The Israeli settlers, alongside Israeli soldiers, had blocked an ambulance from reaching him for hours.

Zeteo reached out asking if they had any response to the killing of an American, or what message they would give to the leader they just took a photo with, they did not respond.

President Trump has also said nothing publicly about the killing. Nor has his vice president, JD Vance.

Renowned Genocide Scholar Says 'I Know It When I See It'—And He Sees It in Israel's Assault on Gaza

Omer BartovA leading scholar of the Holocaust and genocide warned Tuesday the continued "silence" of many in his field of study regarding Israel's massacre of Palestinians in Gaza "has made a mockery of the slogan 'never again''" as he outlined in a New York Times opinion piece how he came to conclude that Israel is committing genocide in the besieged enclave.

At that point, about 1 million Palestinians had been ordered to the so-called "safe zone" of al-Mawasi—which was then targeted in numerous attacks.

Months after one top Israeli official called for the "total annihilation" of Gaza—home to more than 2 million people—Bartov concluded that the government's "actions could be understood only as the implementation of the expressed intent to make the Gaza Strip uninhabitable for its Palestinian population."
"I'm a Genocide Scholar," reads the essay's headline. "I Know It When I See It."

Like a number of other experts who were at first reluctant to designate the assault on Gaza a genocide—the term coined by Polish lawyer Raphael Lemkin in 1944—Brown University professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies Omer Bartov gradually came to recognize Israel's campaign of targeted starvation, bombings on civilian infrastructure, forced displacement, and other attacks as genocidal violence as he watched the early months of the war in late 2023 and early 2024.

By May 2024, he wrote at the Times, "it appeared no longer possible to deny that the pattern of [Israel Defense Forces] operations was consistent with the statements denoting genocidal intent made by Israeli leaders in the days after the Hamas attack," including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's threat to turn Gaza into "rubble" and his call for Israeli citizens to remember "what Amalek did to you"—a reference to the biblical passage calling on the Israelites to "kill alike men and women, infants and sucklings" in their fight against an ancient enemy.

At that point, about 1 million Palestinians had been ordered to the so-called "safe zone" of al-Mawasi—which was then targeted in numerous attacks.

Months after one top Israeli official called for the "total annihilation" of Gaza—home to more than 2 million people—Bartov concluded that the government's "actions could be understood only as the implementation of the expressed intent to make the Gaza Strip uninhabitable for its Palestinian population."
