Media outlets are being accused of ignoring obvious Epstein connections amid the continued release of millions of pages of Department of Justice files, even as those records show a pro-Trump billionaire on the Gaza “Board of Peace” linked to Jeffrey Epstein through previously undisclosed communications and roles in reconstruction planning.  Trump claims ICE “feels bad” about the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti but insists federal immigration enforcement was justified, brushing off sharp criticism — including from Joe Rogan — by calling himself a “great guy” for the policy. The White House line is drawing deep skepticism as polls show broad public distrust in the administration’s handling of the Pretti shooting and the surrounding narrative.  In the tech world, Bitcoin holders are reportedly selling off en masse, while Tucker Carlson goes nuclear on the AI industry, and Trump refuses to rule out pursuing an unconstitutional third term, fueling fears about democratic erosion.

Ghislaine Maxwell invoked the Fifth Amendment during her House deposition as new Epstein files reveal prosecutors issued a key announcement dated before his death, while Epstein Island emails reignite a feud between Elon Musk and Reid Hoffman and a GOP lawmaker pushing the Epstein probe says Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick should resign over his ties. Meanwhile, Iran may be in possession of an unexploded U.S. bunker-buster bomb, Dr. Oz defends claims that teenagers should work immediately after high school and seniors delay retirement to help pay down the national debt, and federal prosecutors reportedly began investigating Renee Good’s killing only to be ordered by Washington to stop.

Meanwhile, Trump is moving to repeal a landmark climate finding, signaling one of the most sweeping environmental regulatory rollbacks yet.
