Alex Jones’ recent accusations against Attorney General Pam Bondi mark a significant departure from his typical pro-Trump stance. He alleges Bondi is deliberately concealing incriminating evidence from Epstein-related files, including alleged evidence of child torture, as part of a supposed “deep state” conspiracy. Jones further implicated former FBI Director James Comey and claimed White House awareness of this alleged cover-up. This claim contradicts the White House’s stated support for full transparency regarding the Epstein case and has caused confusion among Jones’ followers. Bondi’s office has not yet responded to these allegations.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) will cease updating its Billion-Dollar Weather and Climate Disasters database after 2024, archiving existing data from 1980 onward. This decision, attributed to evolving priorities and staffing changes, eliminates a crucial resource for tracking the escalating costs of climate change-fueled weather disasters. Experts express concern that this loss, coupled with previous NOAA staffing cuts, will hinder understanding of climate change’s impact and compromise public safety. The move is seen as another instance of the Trump administration minimizing the federal government’s focus on climate change.

Pakistan’s Chinese-made J-10CE fighter jet, according to US officials, successfully engaged in combat, resulting in the downing of two Indian fighter aircraft. This surprising development underscores China’s growing military capabilities and challenges previous assumptions about the relative technological strength of various global air forces.
The confirmation of this event, despite conflicting narratives circulating online and in some news outlets, is significant. The fact that US officials are corroborating this account lends considerable weight to the claim, suggesting a level of certainty beyond simple speculation. The downing of these aircraft indicates a substantial technological leap for Pakistan’s air force and its Chinese-supplied equipment, which has been consistently portrayed as ‘inferior’ in some quarters.… Continue reading
A letter from the US embassy, demanding Stockholm’s compliance with a Trump-era rollback of diversity initiatives, has been received and rejected by the city. Vice-mayor Jan Valeskog deemed the request bizarre and stated Stockholm will not comply, prioritizing its own diversity policies. This marks the first known instance of such a letter being sent to a foreign municipality, sparking outrage among Swedish citizens. The city’s defiance is based on its commitment to diversity and its assertion that the US embassy would suffer greater consequences from severing ties.

Civiqs polling data reveals President Trump’s approval rating is negative in both Florida and Texas, key states he won in 2024. While Republicans in both states largely approve of his performance, the negative trend, particularly since his “Liberation Day” tariffs, could negatively impact the GOP in the 2026 midterms. This decline is mirrored in several swing states, a worrying sign for Republicans according to political analysts. Trump himself has dismissed these polls as “fake news.”

In a protest video by British activist group Led By Donkeys, 98-year-old World War II veteran Ken Turner drove a Sherman tank over a Tesla, symbolizing the crushing of fascism.

In a highly anticipated live interview on *The View*, former President Joe Biden sharply criticized Donald Trump’s first 100 days in office, citing damage to NATO and concerns about foreign policy.

In response to ongoing trade disputes with the U.S., the EU is preparing retaliatory measures including potential export restrictions on €4.4 billion worth of goods and a WTO challenge against imposed tariffs. While the EU seeks negotiated solutions, the Commission acknowledges the unlikelihood of returning to pre-dispute trade relations with the Trump administration. This expectation stems from the belief that tariffs on steel, aluminum, and automobiles will remain in place due to the U.S.’s reindustrialization goals, although some flexibility on the baseline tariff is anticipated.

Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope, has used social media to express his views on immigration and politics, generating significant attention. He directly criticized Vice President J.D. Vance’s interpretation of Christian love as justifying restrictive immigration policies, publicly disagreeing with Vance’s “ordo amoris” argument. The Pope’s social media history reveals a consistent opposition to Donald Trump’s immigration policies, including retweets condemning Trump’s actions and comparing them to human rights abuses. This outspokenness has drawn both praise and condemnation, with some right-wing commentators expressing disapproval of the Pope’s stances.
