For our benefit, He was made to bear sin (cf. 2 Cor 5:21), leading the Father to place upon His Son the burden of our transgressions. In the words of Pope Benedict XVI, this act represents a “turning of God against himself” (Deus Caritas Est, 12). God’s love extends even to His adversaries (cf. Mt 5:43-48).

The dialogue that God seeks to establish with each individual through the paschal mystery of His Son is far removed from mere idle talk, reminiscent of the ancient Athenians who “spent their time in nothing except telling or hearing something new” (Acts 17:21). Such trivial conversation, driven by a hollow and superficial curiosity, epitomizes worldliness throughout history; in contemporary times, it can manifest as the inappropriate use of media.

A wealth to be shared, not hoarded
Placing the paschal mystery at the heart of our existence compels us to empathize with the suffering of the crucified Christ, reflected in the countless innocent victims of conflict, assaults on life—from the unborn to

the elderly—and various forms of violence. This suffering is also evident in environmental catastrophes, the inequitable distribution of the earth’s resources, human trafficking in all its manifestations Read more below

It has been three decades since Monica Lewinsky’s name became permanently inscribed in American history — however, at the age of 51, she is now taking back her narrative in her own terms.

In her appearance on Elizabeth Day’s podcast How To Fail, the former White House intern reflected on the highly publicized affair with then-President Bill Clinton, which not only shook Washington but also nearly destroyed her life.

Lewinsky was merely 22 when the scandal erupted. Clinton was 49 and held the position of the most powerful individual in the world. The relationship captured headlines, led to an impeachment, and unleashed a torrent of public humiliation — predominantly directed at her.

She reveals whether she had genuine feelings for Bill Clinton or not.
For the first time in many years, Monica is revisiting the emotional realities surrounding the entire situation.

“It was the love of a young woman aged 22 to 24,” she stated.

“I believe there was some limerence involved along with various other factors, but that was my perspective at the time. I also think it represented an abuse of power.”

Lewinsky was candid when discussing the harmful narrative propagated by the White House following the scandal’s revelation.

“My very first job after college was at the White House,” she clarified.

“I don’t believe that anyone anticipates that a decade or more later, that individual would struggle to find employment.”

A photograph of White House intern Monica Lewinsky meeting President Bill Clinton at a White House event, submitted as evidence in documents by the Starr investigation and released by the House Judiciary Committee on September 21, 1998.

After the affair was uncovered, Lewinsky stated that the Clinton administration crafted a humiliating portrayal of her—labeling her with the outdated and derogatory term: “bimbo.”

“I was not a foolish bimbo. I was depicted as such, and that was a significant challenge for me to confront.”

She noted that a considerable amount of the backlash originated from women, despite the fact that it was a narrative “designed and disseminated by the White House.”

“That burden was taken on by many women,” she remarked.

Became the subject of ridicule
Lewinsky has previously discussed the significant impact the media frenzy had on her. She became the subject of ridicule, was pursued by journalists, and sank into a profound depression.

“I love and appreciate who I am today, but for many reasons, I would have preferred a more conventional life,” she confessed.

“I would have preferred to have had a more typical trajectory.”

In a different appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast with host Alex Cooper, Monica delved even further into her experiences after becoming that intern.

“You were 22 years old, he was 49, you were an intern. He was the President of the United States,” Cooper framed.

Lewinsky replied:

“I was swiftly depicted as a stalker, mentally unstable, and not attractive enough.”

Highlighted one crucial aspect
The price of that reputation, she stated, was not only the loss of her anonymity but also her future.

“Due to the power dynamics and the power imbalance, I should never have been in that f***ing position,” she acknowledged.

Reflecting on the past, Monica asserts that the repercussions extended beyond her own life. She emphasizes one crucial aspect: it left enduring scars on an entire generation of women who witnessed her being publicly shamed and humiliated for a deeply personal error.

“There was immense collateral damage for women of my generation to observe a young woman being vilified on the global stage, being dissected for my sexuality, for my mistakes, for everything about me.”

Three decades later, Monica Lewinsky is not seeking sympathy. She is urging people to listen — and to finally recognize her as more than a mere footnote in someone else’s narrative.

Monica Lewinsky’s candid honesty compels us to question: Have we genuinely learned anything? In an era where public shaming has only intensified and accelerated, is society any more forgiving towards young women ensnared in the turmoil of powerful men and media hysteria? Or are we still repeating the same errors — merely with new hashtags?

In a world moving at breakneck speed, where technology and new generations set the pace of daily life, there’s something that’s slowly being lost: the emotional connection with our elders. This week, a video went viral on social media for a very powerful reason: it reminds us of a truth that many have forgotten.

The video, barely five minutes long, shows an older man sitting alone on a park bench. Around him, life moves quickly: young people running by, people looking at their phones without looking up, children playing without paying attention to him. In the background, soft music accompanies the images while a voiceover says: “We were all children. We were all young. But not all of us will have someone to remember us when we grow old.”

What follows is a series of scenes depicting the old man’s life: old photos, memories of his youth, moments with his family, leading up to the present,

where his loneliness is evident. Without words, but with a deep emotional charge, the video manages to touch the heartstrings. At the end, a simple but powerful phrase appears on screen: Read more below

Immigration arrests have significantly increased nationwide, more than doubling in 38 states since President Trump assumed office, as per newly released data analyzed by The New York Times.

Enforcement activities have escalated even more in recent weeks, following a directive from Trump’s chief immigration adviser, Stephen Miller, who urged agents to enhance their efforts to boost arrests.

The majority of recent immigration arrests have occurred in states with substantial immigrant populations, such as Florida and Texas, both of which had already experienced heightened enforcement levels under President Biden, according to the Times report.

Since January 20, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has apprehended over 20,000 individuals in Texas alone, despite a noticeable drop in border crossings. ICE’s Miami field office, which oversees Florida and Puerto Rico, has documented more than 11,000 arrests during the same timeframe, it noted.

In contrast, states like New Jersey and New York, which also have large immigrant populations, have seen only slight increases in enforcement compared to the previous administration. Some of the most significant surges in arrests have been reported in Southern and Western states that closely align with Trump’s immigration policies, the Times pointed out.

The newly released data offers the most comprehensive view to date of the extent and speed of immigration enforcement under the Trump administration. Acquired through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the Deportation Data Project at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law, the records concentrate on arrests conducted by ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations division.

The data indicates that ICE acted quickly in January to start executing Trump’s directive to deport millions of unauthorized immigrants. Since the beginning of his second term, the agency has more than doubled its daily arrest rate, now averaging 666 arrests per day—up from fewer than 300 per day in 2024, according to the report.

As the immigration crackdown initiated by the Trump administration escalates, it has ignited protests across the nation, including heated confrontations earlier this month in Los Angeles involving demonstrators, local law enforcement, and federal agents.

In spite of the significant increase in arrests, the rate may still not meet the expectations established by Miller, who is the architect of a considerable portion of the administration’s immigration policy. During a meeting on May 21 with leaders from ICE field offices, Miller allegedly set a target of 3,000 arrests daily. Since that time, the number of arrests has surged notably, with ICE averaging over 1,100 arrests per day during the initial 10 days of June—the latest period for which data is available, as further noted by the Times.

To achieve these objectives, ICE has implemented more assertive strategies, which include detaining individuals during standard check-ins and at immigration court hearings. A significant number of those apprehended in court are now being subjected to expedited removal—a rapid deportation process that circumvents conventional legal proceedings and removes the opportunity to present a defense in court.

At the conclusion of 2024, only approximately 5 percent of those arrested faced expedited removal. By June, that percentage had risen to 15 percent, following the administration’s reduction of protections for numerous newly arrived migrants, as highlighted by the Times.

“The rate of arrests has risen in every state compared to 2024. In 21 states and the District of Columbia, the rate has more than tripled,” the report stated.

“Idaho, where data indicates that ICE conducted 77 arrests last year, has experienced the most significant change. Since January 20, ICE has executed over 300 arrests there, averaging more than two per day,” it stated. “Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and West Virginia have witnessed the most rapid increase in ICE enforcement relative to their immigrant population sizes. In total, ICE has apprehended over 4,000 individuals in these states combined, compared to approximately 2,500 during the same period in 2024.”

Republicans have consistently contended that Democrats exploit mass illegal immigration for two main reasons: to inflate the populations of blue states to maintain congressional representation, and to ultimately advocate for amnesty to enable these individuals to vote. Trump’s commitment to mass deportation poses a threat to both of these goals.

Bradshaw, 76, is coming off another big year at FOX. The network aired the Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles this year. Bradshaw, who won four Super Bowls with the Pittsburgh Steelers, led the Lombardi Trophy presentation on the Caesars Superdome field on Sunday night, February 9.

It was an up-and-down season for Bradshaw, though. He took some heat on social media for his inconsistent performances, as others suggested that it was probably time for the NFL great to call it a career.

Bradshaw, meanwhile, has said that he plans on returning in 2025 – and in 2026 and 2027, too.

“I got two years left (on my contract) at FOX. I’m 76,” Bradshaw, who has been with FOX since 1994, said before Super Bowl 59.

“If I can get to the next Super Bowl, I’ll be 80. I think that’s time.”

While Bradshaw has been on the air forever, he’s also dealt with some troubling health issues.

Bradshaw has admitted that due to some health issues, he can’t run or play with his grandkids like he used to be able to do. Bradshaw played in the NFL for 14 seasons, winning four Super Bowls and a league MVP.

“I can’t run. I can’t play with my grandkids the way I used to. And I don’t like that,” Bradshaw has said.

Bradshaw, who has twice faced cancer and other health obstacles, has made it a priority to visit his doctor.

“I’ve got grandkids, I don’t wanna have pneumococcal pneumonia knock me down,” Bradshaw admitted in 2018.

“I’ve got a bucket list I want to fill up, I got horses I want to raise.

“I got grandkids to play with, I got grandkids on the way.

“I’m not gonna be one of those men that doesn’t go see his doctor.”

Bradshaw has made it pretty clear that he wants to stay on the air for as long as possible, too.

“I told Fox: ‘If I could just die on the show, think about the ratings, right?,” he said amid the retirement talk.

“Are we not about ratings? That’d be huge. Not only that, there would be a huge carryover.”

It sounds like Bradshaw will be back in 2025, but hopefully he’ll be at 100 percent health while returning to the broadcast.

Stallone continued his established roles in Rocky Balboa (2006) and Rambo (2008) before launching The Expendables film franchise (2010–present), in which he starred as the mercenary Barney Ross. In 2013, he starred in the successful film Escape Plan and appeared in its sequels. In 2015, he returned to Rocky again with Creed, in which a retired Rocky mentors former rival Apollo Creed’s son Donnie Creed. The film brought Stallone widespread praise and his first Golden Globe Award, as well as a third Academy Award nomination, having been first nominated for the same role 40 years prior. Since 2022, he has starred in the Paramount+ crime series Tulsa King.Sylvester Gardenzio Stallone[5][6][7] was born in the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood of New York City’s Manhattan borough[8] on July 6, 1946,[9] the elder son of women’s professional wrestling promoter Jacqueline “Jackie” Stallone (née Labofish; 1921–2020) and hairdresser Francesco “Frank” Stallone Sr. (1919–2011). His mother was an American from Washington, D.C. with Breton French[11] and Ukrainian Jewish ancestry, while his father was an Italian immigrant from Gioia del Colle[10] who moved to the U.S. in the 1930s.[15][16] His younger brother is actor and musician Frank Stallone.[10] Many biographies of Stallone indicate that his birth name is “Michael Sylvester Gardenzio Stallone” and his mother explained in an interview that she originally named him “Tyrone” because she admired the actor Tyrone Power, but Stallone’s father changed it to “Sylvester”. His nickname as a child was “Binky” but he chose to go by the nickname of Mike/Michael after schoolmates began calling him “Stinky”.[5][6][7] His middle name “Gardenzio” is an alteration of the Italian given name “Gaudenzio” and he usually shortened it to “Enzio”.

Complications during Stallone’s birth forced his mother’s obstetricians to use two pairs of forceps while delivering him, accidentally severing a nerve in the process.[17][18] This caused paralysis of the lower left side of his face (including parts of his lip, tongue, and chin) which gave him his signature snarling look and slurred speech.[18][19] As a result, he was bullied in his childhood, with which he coped by getting into bodybuilding and acting.[20] He spent part of his infancy in foster and boarding care, rejoining and moving back with his family to Maryland when he was five. In the early 1950s, his father moved the family to his mother’s native Washington, D.C. to open a beauty school. In 1954, his mother opened a women’s gym called Barbella’s. He initially stayed with his father following his parents’ divorce

In the intricate dance between private family moments and public curiosity, few events capture the imagination quite like the arrival of a new generation. When prominent families welcome new members, these intimate milestones become shared cultural moments that transcend personal celebration to become subjects of widespread interest and speculation. The photographs, the family resemblances, and the careful curation of these precious first glimpses create narratives that extend far beyond the immediate family circle, touching on themes of legacy, continuity, and the enduring human fascination with new life.

Recent social media posts have offered the public an intimate window into one such significant arrival, combining the universal joy of new parenthood with the unique circumstances of a family that exists perpetually in the public eye. These carefully crafted images tell a story that resonates on multiple levels—as a celebration of new life, as a documentation of family bonds, and as a glimpse into how personal milestones unfold within the context of extraordinary public visibility.

The Art of Modern Family Documentation
In an era where social media has transformed how families share and preserve their most precious moments, the documentation of new life has evolved into a sophisticated form of visual storytelling. Parents today have unprecedented control over how they introduce their children to the world, crafting narratives through carefully chosen images that balance intimacy with privacy, vulnerability with protection.

The Evolution of Birth Announcements
The traditional birth announcement—once limited to newspaper notices and mailed cards—has given way to elaborate digital presentations that can reach thousands of people instantaneously. Modern parents, particularly those in the public eye, have learned to leverage these platforms to control their family’s narrative while satisfying public curiosity about their personal lives.

This evolution reflects broader changes in how we understand privacy, publicity, and the boundaries between personal and public life. For families who live partially in the public sphere, social media announcements serve multiple purposes: they satisfy media and public interest, establish the family’s preferred narrative, and create lasting digital memories that can be preserved and shared across generations.

The careful staging and professional quality of many contemporary birth announcements also reflect the influence of visual culture and social media aesthetics on how we document life’s most important moments. These images are created not just for immediate family and friends, but for a broader audience that includes extended networks, media outlets, and often the general public.

The Psychology of Sharing Intimate Moments
The decision to share intimate family moments publicly reflects complex psychological and social factors. For many parents, particularly those who have built public platforms or careers, sharing these moments creates connections with their audiences while also documenting their personal journeys for posterity.

The vulnerability inherent in sharing images of newborns and intimate family moments can strengthen emotional connections between public figures and their audiences. These glimpses of universal human experiences—the tenderness of new parenthood, the wonder of meeting a child for the first time, the quiet moments of family bonding—create relatability that transcends other differences in circumstance or background.

However, this sharing also involves careful consideration of boundaries and long-term implications. Parents must balance their desire to share joy and connect with others against concerns about privacy, security, and their children’s future autonomy over their own image and story.

The Visual Storytelling of New Parenthood
Tiffany Trump’s recent Instagram carousel documenting her newborn son Alexander Trump Boulos represents a masterclass in contemporary visual storytelling, combining professional photography techniques with intimate family moments to create a compelling narrative about new motherhood and family joy.

The Aesthetic Choices and Their Meaning
The decision to photograph the family in soft white clothing against natural light creates an ethereal, timeless quality that emphasizes purity, new beginnings, and serenity. These aesthetic choices are far from accidental—they reflect careful consideration of how visual elements can convey emotional and symbolic meaning.

The use of natural lighting streaming through sheer curtains creates a sense of warmth and openness while maintaining the soft, dreamy quality that has become associated with professional newborn photography. This lighting choice also suggests transparency and authenticity, important qualities for public figures seeking to share genuine family moments.

The composition of images showing the family of three together emphasizes unity and completeness, while close-up shots of mother and child focus on the intimate bond between them. The variety of poses and perspectives creates a comprehensive visual narrative that tells the story of early parenthood from multiple angles.

The Symbolism of Newborn Photography Props
The choice to photograph baby Alexander in a knitted teddy bear outfit, nestled in a wooden bowl covered with plush blankets, reflects contemporary trends in newborn photography while also carrying deeper symbolic meaning. The teddy bear motif suggests comfort, security, and childhood innocence, while the wooden bowl evokes natural materials and organic simplicity.

These styling choices create an aesthetic that balances luxury with relatability—the photography is clearly professional and carefully staged, yet the props and poses feel accessible and familiar to any parent who has treasured similar quiet moments with their newborn.

The decision to include these more artistic shots alongside candid family portraits demonstrates an understanding of visual storytelling that combines documentary authenticity with aesthetic beauty, creating images that function both as family memories and as compelling social media content.

The Phenomenon of Family Resemblance Commentary
The immediate and enthusiastic response from followers focusing on baby Alexander’s resemblance to his grandfather, President Donald Trump, and uncle Barron Trump reveals the deep human fascination with heredity, family legacy, and the continuation of recognizable traits across generations.

The Science and Psychology of Family Resemblance
Humans are naturally programmed to look for family resemblances, particularly in newborns. This biological imperative served evolutionary purposes by helping establish paternity and family bonds, but it has evolved into a cultural phenomenon that extends far beyond immediate family members to include extended communities and even public audiences.

The specific focus on resemblance to prominent family members reflects the public’s investment in understanding how family traits and characteristics pass from one generation to the next. For families in the public eye, these observations become part of the broader narrative about legacy, continuity, and the persistence of family identity across time.

The immediate and confident assertions about which family member the baby most resembles also demonstrate how quickly people form impressions and how those impressions become part of collective commentary about public figures and their families.

The Cultural Significance of Trump Family Features
The consistent commentary about “strong Trump genes” and the baby’s resemblance to his grandfather reflects the public’s familiarity with Trump family features and the cultural narrative that has developed around the family’s physical characteristics. This commentary extends beyond simple observation to become part of the broader discourse about family identity, political legacy, and the continuation of prominent family lines.

The specific attention to features like blue eyes and hair texture demonstrates how detailed and specific these resemblance observations can become, with commenters noting precise physical characteristics and comparing them across family members and generations.

The positive and celebratory tone of most comments suggests that these resemblance observations are generally offered as compliments and expressions of excitement about family continuity rather than critical analysis. This reflects the generally warm reception that baby announcements receive and the universal appeal of new life and family bonds.

The Journey to Motherhood: Documenting Pregnancy in the Public Eye
Tiffany Trump’s approach to sharing her pregnancy journey offers insights into how public figures navigate the balance between privacy and transparency during such a personal and transformative time.

The Six-Month Milestone Celebration
The January pregnancy photoshoot celebrating her six-month milestone coincided with her father’s presidential inauguration, creating a unique intersection between personal and political milestones. The timing of this announcement added layers of meaning to both events, connecting the continuation of family legacy with significant political moments.

The choice to mark this milestone with formal, elegant photography rather than casual social media posts reflects an understanding of the historical significance of the moment and the desire to create images worthy of the occasion. The silver gown, elaborate styling, and stately setting all contributed to creating images that feel both personally meaningful and historically significant.

The decision to share these pregnancy images publicly also served to control the narrative around her pregnancy and family expansion, providing official confirmation while maintaining control over how the information was presented and discussed.

The Intersection of Personal and Political Moments
The caption noting that this was a night she would “cherish forever — for reasons both personal and presidential” explicitly acknowledges the unique circumstances of experiencing major personal milestones during significant political events. This intersection creates complex layers of meaning and memory that extend beyond typical family experiences.

For children born into politically prominent families, these intersections between personal and political milestones become part of their family history and identity. Baby Alexander’s birth timing and the documentation of his mother’s pregnancy during such politically significant moments will likely become part of his family story throughout his life.

The careful balance between acknowledging political significance while maintaining focus on personal joy demonstrates sophisticated media management and an understanding of how to navigate multiple audiences and interests simultaneously.

The Broader Context of Political Family Privacy
The Trump family’s approach to sharing personal moments like pregnancy and new baby photos reflects broader questions about privacy, publicity, and family life for those involved in political careers.

Balancing Public Interest with Family Privacy
Political families face unique challenges in managing public interest in their personal lives while protecting their children’s privacy and maintaining some boundary between their public roles and private experiences. The decision about what to share, when to share it, and how to present it becomes a complex calculation involving multiple considerations.

The generally positive reception of Tiffany Trump’s baby announcement suggests that the public appreciates being included in these celebratory moments while respecting the boundaries that families establish around more private aspects of their lives. The focus on joy, family bonds, and new life creates common ground that transcends political differences.

The careful curation of these images also demonstrates how modern political families have learned to use social media and digital platforms to control their own narratives rather than relying entirely on traditional media coverage of their personal lives.

The Legacy Implications for the Next Generation
Baby Alexander Trump Boulos represents the next generation of a prominent political family, and the early documentation of his arrival and the public response to it will likely become part of his personal and family history throughout his life. The enthusiasm about family resemblances and the celebration of his birth contribute to establishing his place within the family legacy narrative.

The decision to give him a name that combines both family traditions (Trump) with his father’s heritage (Boulos) reflects the modern approach to family identity that acknowledges multiple cultural and family influences while maintaining connection to prominent family names and traditions.

The professional quality and careful presentation of his first public images suggest an understanding that these photographs will likely be preserved and referenced throughout his life, making their quality and emotional impact important considerations for his future relationship with his own documented history.

The Modern Phenomenon of Celebrity Baby Culture
The immediate and enthusiastic response to baby Alexander’s photos reflects the broader cultural phenomenon of celebrity baby fascination, where the children of prominent figures become subjects of public interest and affection from the moment of their birth.

The Social Media Age Impact on Celebrity Children
Today’s celebrity children are documented and shared in ways that previous generations could never have imagined. The immediate global reach of social media means that a baby’s first photos can be seen by millions of people within hours of posting, creating instant public familiarity with children who have no choice in their public exposure.

This documentation creates permanent digital records that will exist throughout these children’s lives, potentially affecting how they understand their own identity and place in the world. The positive reception and celebration of baby Alexander’s arrival contributes to creating a digital legacy of public affection and interest that will be part of his story.

The professional quality and aesthetic sophistication of contemporary celebrity baby photography also reflects how this documentation has become an art form in itself, with families investing significant resources in creating images that meet both personal and public expectations.

The Universal Appeal of New Life
Despite the political divisions and controversies that often surround prominent families, baby announcements typically receive overwhelmingly positive responses that demonstrate the universal human connection to new life and family joy. The comments on Tiffany Trump’s posts focus almost entirely on celebration, family resemblances, and expressions of happiness for the new parents.

This positive response suggests that certain human experiences—birth, family bonds, parental love—transcend other differences and create common ground even among people who might disagree on other topics. The shared celebration of new life becomes a unifying cultural moment that brings out the best in public discourse.

The specific focus on the baby’s features, expressions, and apparent health and happiness reflects the natural human tendency to seek signs of wellbeing and joy in newborns, regardless of their family background or circumstances.

Conclusion: The Enduring Power of New Beginnings
The public response to baby Alexander Trump Boulos’s arrival demonstrates the enduring power of new life to capture imagination, inspire joy, and create moments of shared human connection that transcend other differences. The carefully crafted visual narrative of his introduction to the world reflects both contemporary social media culture and timeless human impulses to celebrate and document life’s most precious moments.

Tiffany Trump’s approach to sharing this deeply personal milestone illustrates how modern families, particularly those in the public eye, navigate the complex balance between privacy and transparency, personal joy and public interest. The overwhelmingly positive response suggests that authenticity, vulnerability, and genuine emotion continue to resonate powerfully in an era often characterized by division and skepticism.

The immediate fascination with family resemblances and the continuation of recognizable traits across generations speaks to fundamental human interests in heredity, legacy, and the persistence of family identity over time. These observations become part of the cultural narrative around prominent families while also reflecting universal experiences that any family can relate to.

As baby Alexander grows up in an era of unprecedented documentation and digital preservation, his early introduction to the world through these carefully crafted images will likely remain part of his personal and family story throughout his life. The love, joy, and celebration captured in these first public glimpses create a positive foundation for his relationship with public attention and family legacy.

The success of this announcement in generating warmth, celebration, and positive engagement demonstrates that certain human experiences—the wonder of new life, the bonds of family, the hope invested in the next generation—continue to unite people across all other divisions. In a time when such unity can feel rare and precious, the arrival of baby Alexander serves as a reminder of what we all share in common and what continues to bring out the best in human nature.

During a heated Oval Office press conference, President Donald Trump engaged in a tense and combative exchange with CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins, accusing her of bias and questioning her credibility in front of a room full of reporters. The confrontation escalated quickly, dominating headlines and further fueling the ongoing battle between Trump and the media, particularly CNN.

The moment unfolded when Collins pressed Trump on whether he trusted Russian President Vladimir Putin. Given the longstanding controversies surrounding Trump’s relationship with Russia, the question was loaded, and Collins was determined to get a direct answer. Initially, Trump responded cautiously, saying, “I think he would like to see something happen.” However, his tone quickly shifted when Collins pushed for clarification.

Interrupting her mid-sentence, Trump turned the exchange into a personal attack. “I know he [Biden] is a friend of yours,” he said, implying that Collins was not an objective journalist but rather someone aligned with his political rival, Joe Biden. The accusation seemed to catch Collins off guard, but she attempted to stay on course, trying once again to steer the conversation back to the original question. Trump, however, was not finished.

“You always ask the same nasty questions,” he continued, waving his hand dismissively. “CNN has no credibility. Everyone knows you guys are fake news. You push lies and misinformation every day.”

Collins, known for her sharp questioning and refusal to back down, immediately fired back. “Mr. President, my job is to ask questions. You haven’t answered mine,”
she said, undeterred by his attack.

Trump, visibly irritated, leaned forward and shot back, “You wouldn’t ask Biden these kinds of questions. You wouldn’t dare. You’re protecting him. You’re part of the problem.”

Some have suggested that the public fallout between President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk may be more calculated than expected.

According to Axios, House Democrats are questioning the Department of Justice and the FBI about whether President Trump is included in the Epstein files, as Elon Musk says.

The clearest illustration yet demonstrates how Trump’s political opponents are profiting from the president’s high-profile conflict with his former lieutenant.

Some conservatives online have suggested that maybe this was set up by Trump and Musk to put pressure on the full release of the Epstein list. And now that Democrats are calling for the release of the list, it could be a stunt to expose some high-profile Democrats. This is simply a theory being pushed by some conservatives on social media.

Trump “is in the Epstein files,” Musk wrote Thursday in a post on X, adding, “That is the real reason they have not been made public.”

The Tesla CEO also called for Trump’s impeachment, a position that many Democrats are hesitant to support.

In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel, Reps. Stephen Lynch (D-Mass.) and Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) requested that they “immediately clarify whether this allegation is true.”

The congressmen requested a deadline for the Department of Justice’s declassification and publishing of the Epstein papers, as well as an explanation for why no fresh documents had been given over since February.

They also demanded a description of Trump’s participation in examining the files, a list of persons involved in their release, and an explanation for why previously given information to Congress had “significant redactions.”

Lynch serves as the acting ranking member of the House Oversight Committee, while Garcia is the leading Democrat on the Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets.

“Oversight Democrats are engaged in another baseless stunt that bears no weight in fact or reality. These are the same left-wing lunatics who neglected their oversight duties regarding the Biden administration’s lawless actions and concocted hoax after hoax on President Trump during his first term. No one takes them or their petty letters seriously,” White House spokesperson Harrison Fields said in a statement to Axios.

Bondi disclosed more than 100 pages of Epstein-related records in February as part of the Trump administration’s quest for greater transparency in a variety of high-profile cases.

The papers, however, were heavily blacked, and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.), head of the declassification task committee, has accused Bondi of “stonewalling” her requests for further documents.

“We agree with their conclusion that the release of these documents is long overdue,” Lynch and Garcia wrote.

Musk’s allegation “implies that the President may be involved in determining which files should be released and whether files will be withheld from the public if he personally chooses,” the two Democrats wrote.

They noted that Trump and Epstein’s relationship has been well-documented.

“Any attempts to prevent the appropriate release of the Epstein files to shield the President from truth and accountability merits intense scrutiny by Congress and by the Department of Justice,” they added.

Last week, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino vowed to reveal additional footage from the cell housing sexual predator and human trafficker Jeffrey Epstein around the time of his suicide, proving “no one was there but him.”

Epstein’s 2019 death in the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York City was deemed a suicide, but there are widespread conspiracy theories that he was murdered because of his connections with high-profile celebrities and businesspeople.

Bongino’s remarks come after he and FBI Director Kash Patel faced criticism from the MAGA crowd for dismissing Epstein conspiracy claims during a joint interview on Fox News earlier this month.

A heart-wrenching but hopeful scene just played out in Texas Hill Country — a military cargo truck rolled through town, its back loaded with young girls who survived the devastating flash floods that ripped through their campground.

The photo is already going viral. Inside the truck: scared, soaked, silent girls, wrapped in towels, sitting shoulder-to-shoulder in the open cargo bed — a chilling reminder of what they just endured.

Their campground was wiped off the map overnight. Entire cabins crushed. Some children still unaccounted for. But these girls — they made it out.

Many had to cling to trees, float on debris, or huddle in high-ground cabins for hours before help arrived.

“We were just waiting for the buses. It felt like forever,” one survivor said earlier this week.

Today, those buses arrived. And so did this National Guard truck — packed with the lucky ones.

This isn’t just a rescue. It’s a miracle in motion.
