The body of the Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was found by rescuers after several hours of digging in the rubble after an Israeli strike. She is the fourth journalist to have been killed by Israeli forces in seven weeks. This is why the word ‘journacide’ is now being used.

🚨 BREAKING Spain breaks diplomatic ties with Israel. Madrid has just recalled its ambassador and is planning to close its embassy in Tel Aviv. Israel condemned the move, calling it "highly antisemitic." Antisemitism is hatred of Jews. Criticizing Israel is not hatred of Jews. Zionism is not Judaism.

DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES. DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES. DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES. DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES. DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES. DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES.

Hundreds of Jews and Palestinians gathered in Tel Aviv today to protest our government’s forever war in Lebanon, Gaza, the West Bank, and Iran. We know this isn’t normal. We know all of us deserve better. Enough!

🚨 BREAKING: Deputy AG Todd Blanche just confirmed the DOJ deliberately withheld Epstein images showing death, physical abuse, and injury. They admitted it themselves. And while they’re hiding graphic evidence of what happened to those children — they’re also redacting the names of Epstein’s powerful clients. Including Donald Trump’s. This is why he started a war. Not for America. Not for tariffs. To keep you looking somewhere else while the files that could end his presidency and his freedom — stay buried. The Epstein cover-up is the story. Everything else is the distraction. Never stop talking about it.

Jimmy "interviews" Trump about the U.S. attack on Iran. #FallonTonight

BREAKING: Melania Trump humiliates herself on the world stage by chairing a United Nations Security Council meeting despite a total lack of diplomatic experience. We've become the laughingstock of the entire world... After calling the gathering to order with a bang of her gavel, Melania embarked on a string of rambling remarks that were ostensibly about how education is the key to "advancing tolerance and world peace." It was a truly Orwellian moment, coming as it does as her husband embarks on a war of naked aggression against Iran, a war that has already resulted in the bombing of a girls' school that killed at least 165 people. "My heartfelt condolences to the families who have lost their heroes, who sacrificed their lives for freedom," said Melania, referring to the American troops who have come home in coffins thanks to her husband's pointless and illegal war. "Their bravery and dedication will always be remembered. I extend my earnest wishes for a swift and smooth recovery to all those who have been injured," she added. "You are in my thoughts and prayers during these challenging times. The U.S. stands with all of the children throughout the world. I hope soon, peace will be yours." This is an unprecedented appearance by an American First Lady and yet another sign that Donald Trump prizes loyalty and proximity to himself over competence. In fact, this is the first time that the spouse of ANY world leader has been allowed to take the president's seat on the Security Council. It sends a clear signal to the world that the United States is now little more than a nepotistic, tinpot dictatorship. The truth is that we've had countless brilliant, qualified, thoughtful First Ladies in the past who could have performed this role at the UN. Melania is not one of them. She wants to play-act as the master diplomat, but history will remember her as a spineless coward who enabled the worst abuses of her fascist pedophile husband. Please ❤️ and share if you think that Melania Trump is a disgrace!

It’s important that you understand what happened last night. Last night, Stephen Colbert interviewed Democratic Texas Senate candidate James Talarico, a candidate who, by all accounts, is on track in the polls to flip Texas blue. In response, Trump’s FCC reportedly threatened CBS if the interview aired. CBS caved and pulled the segment, citing “financial reasons.” In modern American history, no president has been more hostile to free speech than Donald Trump. But censorship always backfires. Here’s the full segment Trump didn’t want you to see.

Be warned @Dpdhelp1 is A Scam. @reportfrauduk

Who would have thought anything could be worse than Evri. Well, #DPD you have proved to be totally shit.

LET’S KEEP THIS GOING: The President of the United States is a pedophile. He was involved in the largest sex trafficking ring in human history. Trump’s name has been mentioned in the Epstein files about a million fucking times. WE ARE NOT MOVING ON FROM THIS.

Here’s a weeknight speedy turnaround 🎶parody on the UK fallout linked to the #EpsteinFiles, #PeterMandelson friendship with him, and the bigger implications.

The Epstein Sewer I've been a reporter for 40 years more, man and boy, and I can't remember being as shocked by a data dump as reading the Epstein files this morning. Sex with under-age girls. Torture. Snuff jobs. Something like 30 members of the Trump administration or people in his circle pop up in the Epstein files, sorry Epstein sewer. Donald Trump, time and again. Stories of him taking part in the sexual abuse of girls under the age of consent. Photos of Brett Ratner, the director of the un-hit movie Melania, with Epstein and young girls. Our own Andrew, formerly known as Prince, cavorting with what looks to be on the face of it a child, not a woman. And the news that Peter Mendelson's husband was paid $10,000 by Epstein when he was a convicted paedophile. Maybe more. Maybe a lot more. There is even a walk-on part for Bill Gates, one of the richest men in the world, catching the clap from a Russian prostitute and worrying about how to slip his wife medication without her knowing about it. Immediately, we must step back. In any investigation, whether by the FBI, by the Met here in London or even by a simple journalist like me, you come across fantastic stories which can be, on the surface, at first brush, terrible and alarming and shocking. And then you work a bit harder and you interrogate the stories and they turn out to be dross. The source cannot possibly know the details of the story they claim to have. The source is weak, foolish and wrong about detail. But, some of the time, they be telling the truth or part of the truth. And some of the time they may be fantasists. Working out the difference is hard. This is a particular difficulty with the victims of sexual abuse and child sexual abuse. We all know about “Nick” whose fantasies led the police to probe the former Chief of the Defence Staff Lord Bramall and former European Commissioner Leon Brittan, among others, in the infamous Operation Midland historic child sexual abuse investigation. “Nick” – real name Carl Beech — was found to have fabricated his allegations and he was convicted in 2019 of perverting the course of justice. It was all nonsense. So, we've got to keep that in mind. It may well be that Trump and the Mandelsons and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Bill Gates and Brett Ratner etc have been stitched up by dark fairy tales. The presumption of innocence must be at the forefront of everybody's minds. Having said that, for example, the photograph of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor cavorting with what seems to be a child is shocking. The multiple times Trump is alleged to have been up to no good is shocking, even for someone like me who has challenged him to his face about his financial relationship with a Russian-born gangster. If true, why did Peter Mandelson go along with the $10,000 gift from Jeffrey Epstein convicted paedophile to his husband? What did Jeffrey Epstein get out it? This story, on the face of it, is shocking. And the one about Bill Gates? Not good, not good at all. Now there's a terrible problem here. What normally happens in a great democracy like the United States of America is that the president commissions a good judge or good people to carry out a full and open inquiry in the beautiful light of day. I'm thinking of the Warren Commission, the investigation into the assassination of JFK, and the brilliant and beautifully written report by Congress into 9/11. For most reasonable people, and certainly me, both those reports laid some of the silly conspiracy theories to rest. The Warren Commission concluded JFK was killed by a lone assassin. Congress concluded that 9/11 was the product of a kind of Saudi death cult led by its Evil Messiah, Osama bin Laden, but that was it. There wasn't greater collusion. The problem is Trump is so toxic to the proper process of the rule of law, to honesty, to decent conduct. Any such inquiry has no hope until he's out of the White House. So, for a time, millions and millions of people will suspect that those who hold democratic power in the United States, in Britain, in Europe and in Israel are fundamentally evil because there are terrible bits of evidence pointing them to be in hock to a paedophile, an extremely rich one at that, who used his money and his skills and his ability to manipulate people to be served on an industrial basis by girls under the age of sexual consent. I know this story well because I did a podcast for Global, Hunting Ghislaine, and then wrote a book of the same name. And it's obvious, yes, that the only person who helps Jeffrey Epstein conduct his disgusting sexual perversions on an industrial basis and ends up in prison is a woman, Ghislaine Maxwell. On the face of what we've seen, there are many others, all male, who have grave questions to answer. Now, those questions may be unfair. The problem is, of course, the source of this scandal is Donald Trump. He brought his own high explosives to the Epstein sewer and lit the blue touch paper without realising it was a delayed action fuse. In 2020 when he's out of power, he's telling President Joe Biden: “you've got to release the Epstein files. What are you hiding?” The moment he is back at the White House again in 2025, everybody says: “Release the Epstein files.” And Trump has been forced to do so. His creatures in the FBI and the Department of Justice have tried to cover up his involvement but they've done an incompetent job. Emails have come out pointing to horrific events. Then they've been redacted. But too late. We’ve seen some of it. The stink will stay until there is a proper and open and well-led public inquiry by the Americans into this sewer. But so long as Donald Trump has got his hands on the machinery of power in the White House, I don't think such an inquiry is going to happen. And that's bad news for all of us who care about democracy because obviously the Russians and the Chinese are watching. Let me throw one name at you: Sergei Belyakov. When Russian “model” Guzel Ganieva threatened to blackmail some of Epstein's not-that-good and not-so-great friends in in 2015, he turned to Belyakov who so happens to be a FSB officer. That is Epstein was pals with a Russian spy. Yes, I have doorstepped Vladimir Putin and yes, I have been spied on by the FSB in Moscow and yes, I have been detained in a Russian police station, albeit for an afternoon in Moscow, because I was asking the wrong kind of questions about the Russian secret police, the FSB. And, yes, I've written a book called Killer In The Kremlin. So yes, I know about what I'm talking about. If Belyakov knows all about the blackmail attempt, so does Putin. Indeed, there are emails pointing towards Epstein planning a meeting with Putin but we don’t know whether that ever happened. At least, not yet. But all of this is bad news. This festering sewer will continue to poison the democratic process and how power is called to account until Trump is out of the White House. This is seriously worrying. In a crisis, one should always look for silver linings. Here are the following: one, Trump is in serious trouble. The Republican Party will be trounced at the midterms and that means that the Democrats will be able to ask serious questions from November onwards, while the Orange One’s grip on power weakens. Two, the Andrew formerly known as Prince is a nonce, period. There is a big question about our royal family: should they have stripped the titles off their loathsome creature earlier? The answer to that is a screaming yes, but it's clear that our king understood the sick and hideous nature of his brother better than the politicians. Yes, there should be a proper inquiry by the Metropolitan Police into the full circumstances of this hideous picture of Andrew cavorting with what looks to be a child. Three, Peter Mandelson is also finished, for good. He benefitted from his husband getting a $10,000 gift from a convicted paedophile. He may have taken more, a lot more. What did Mandelson give Epstein in return? We need to know the answer of that and from now on, I don't want to hear Peter Mandelson be a pundit on anything until he admits and confesses and apologise for his sins. Four, Bill Gates: maybe he was stitched up. But he should never have been friends with Epstein after he was convicted of being a paedo. Five: Don’t watch Melania the movie but you knew that anyway. Once again we must bear in mind the possibility that some of these allegations may be grossly unfair and maybe dross, that there is no substance to them. But all of these people in the Epstein files have to explain what's happened for the good of democratic government because the dictators in Moscow and Beijing and Pyongyang and Tehran are laughing at us. And right now, millions and millions of our own people think our system stinks. And to be honest with you, for the moment, it does. John Sweeney is the author of Hunting Ghislaine.

The screening of #MELANIA is not going well in the UK. 🤣🤣🤣

🔥🔥🔥 DO NOT BE DISTRACTED BY GREENLAND & STAY LOUD DONALD TRUMP IS GOING DOWN TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS & I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared 🔥🔥🔥

I’ve earned the right to say this, President Trump. I served alongside U.S. and NATO troops. I still advise, at the request of the U.S. DoD, to help give American soldiers a better chance of survival if captured. I was captured, tortured, falsely tried by a Russian proxy court, and sentenced to death after Russia invaded my country. America judged my experience worth listening to. So when I say you are an offensive dick, when you dismiss allied service with “they’ll say they sent some troops,” then smirk and say they were “a little away from the front,” you insult every veteran who stood with America after 9/11. You breed contempt, and that’s the second put-down to veterans in as many days, and to those who fought and died in Afghanistan to support you, the US Thank you for your attention on this matter.

BREAKING: Republican Congressman Don Bacon announces that he'd "lean" towards impeaching Trump if he proceeds with the "utter buffoonery" of invading Greenland. And it gets so much worse for MAGA... "I'll be candid with you: There's so many Republicans mad about this," Bacon told the Omaha World-Herald. "If he went through with the threats, I think it would be the end of his presidency. And he needs to know: The off-ramp is realizing Republicans aren't going to tolerate this and he's going to have to back off. He hates being told no, but in this case, I think Republicans need to be firm." Bacon's willingness to possibly support impeachment is noteworthy because he voted against impeachment twice during Trump's first disastrous term in office, including in the wake of the deadly January 6th insurrection. His decision to speak out now suggests that Trump's support is waning within his own party as his popularity craters. "I don't want to give you a definite yes or no, but I would lean that way," Bacon said of impeachment. "It would be a total mistake to invade an ally. It would be catastrophic to our allies and everything. It's just the worst idea ever in my view." Bacon also explained his support of a House bill that would limit the president's ability to attack a NATO ally. He is the sole Republican co-sponsor. "I think it should be unnecessary," he said. "It's ridiculous that this has to even be done. But when the president talks about taking Greenland one way or the other way every day this last week or so and that it's unacceptable if Greenland refuses to be part of the United States, I felt like I needed to make a statement that Republicans disagree." “It’s utter buffoonery to think that we should compel Greenland to be part of the United States,” he continued. Trump's saber-rattling towards Greenland is one of his most insane and downright stupid blunders to date. He insists that the U.S. needs to seize the Arctic island for "national security," but under existing NATO agreements we can already station our military there. This is about his desperate need to carve out some semblance of a legacy for himself. His domestic policies are imploding our country and so he's grasping at imperialist dreams to convince himself that he's anything other than an abject failure. "You don't treat allies that way," Bacon said. "You do that with Russia or China, Iran, but don't treat your best friends like a piece of S-H-I-T. That's what he's doing. I think it's totally wrong to treat your best friends like this and bully them." Please ❤️ and share if you support impeaching Trump!
