Donald Trump’s supporters are disappointed and it’s not going away—over his campaign promise to reveal and hold government officials accountable for big misdeeds by government and its cronies. After the being the subject of weaponized lawfare against him by political opponents, he promised to really do something about these major coverups by the deep state when he became president, but, so far, he’s batting a big zero on this issue. Virtually no one has been prosecuted, and nothing of substance has been unearthed. No one believes him when Trump claims there’s nothing to see in the Epstein files, even though the circumstantial evidence so clearly points to a system of blackmail, “honey traps” and certainly a long and sordid pedophile scandal involving some of the world’s most powerful elite. Virtually nothing incriminating or really new has been revealed about any of the big files about history that Trump promised to declassify and release. Nothing about the CIA hiring Mafia hit men to kill John F. Kennedy; nothing about the known evidence that RFK was shot in the back twice by his bodyguard, rather than by Sirhan Sirhan; and nothing about the FBI surveillance on Martin Luther King (8 cabinets full of his illicit sexual liaisons with prostitutes and 5 more full of his Communist connections). Kash Patel is busy trying to redeem Trump’s reputation (and his own) after these accountability failures by putting together a massive RICO conspiracy case against all of Trump’s enemies who used lawfare against Trump. Will it work? -I doubt it, given Deep State control over judges. To receive a free one-time sample of the Brief along with options on how to subscribe, click on Request a Sample on the left.

CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten admitted this week he was surprised to find that Trump’s standing with Republican voters has strengthened despite widespread complaints on social media about the Epstein files. “You might think his approval ratings were going down with Republicans—if anything, they’re going up,” Enten said, referencing recent polling from CNN and Quinnipiac. According to CNN’s numbers, Republican approval of Trump rose from 86% in the previous poll to 88% this week. Quinnipiac’s poll showed a similar jump, from 87% to 90%.
“Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to court approval. This SCAM, perpetuated by Democrats, should end, right now!” he wrote.
She likened it to the intense media interest in ties between Trump’s first White House campaign and Russia, saying “I don’t want it to consume his presidency.” “Obviously, this is not a complete hoax given the fact that Ghislaine Maxwell is currently serving 20 years in prison in Florida for her crimes and activities with Jeffrey Epstein, who we know is a convicted sexual predator,” Loomer told POLITICO. “This is why I said, and I’ll reiterate it again, the best thing that the president can do is appoint a special counsel to handle the Epstein files investigation.”
Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence in Tallahassee State Prison in Florida, for her role in grooming and trafficking underage girls for Epstein and his network of high-powered friends, which included billionaires, politicians, academics, and royalty. Yet to date, not a single Epstein “client” has been charged.
"Vice President JD Vance BREAKS THE TIE, the $9B DOGE cuts package ADVANCES. NPR, PBS, USAID on the chopping block. 3 Republican NOs: McConnell, Collins, Murkowski. ..."
According to the Daily Mail, "Despite the rumors, Ghislaine was never offered any kind of plea deal. She would be more than happy to sit before Congress and tell her story," adding "No-one from the government has ever asked her to share what she knows. She remains the only person to be jailed in connection to Epstein and she would welcome the chance to tell the American public the truth."
The drones rained down primarily on four major cities, including Kharkiv in the northeast, Kryvyi Rih in central Ukraine - which is President Zelensky's hometown, Vinnytsia in the west, and Odesa in the south.

The 6–3 ruling reverses a lower court order blocking the terminations.
If this is "it"... the "major announcement" on Russia that was planned, then we will say it could have been a lot worse in terms of escalation (such as ramping up more offensive weapons deliveries to Kiev), but amid Trump perhaps poorly managing expectations, people will be asking: that was it? Even RT is chiming in with some light mockery...
For the first time in years, a group of German industrial labor representatives has broken ranks. In an open letter to Chancellor Friedrich Merz, they fiercely criticize Berlin’s climate policy. Will their defiance ignite a firestorm—or vanish in the memory hole crafted by media gatekeepers?
He described that many of the drones were decoys or "simulators" which are designed to distract and overwhelm defense systems, making it harder to intercept the actual assault kamikaze drones. Zelensky further said that included in the overnight aerial attack were 26 cruise missiles, and that some half of all the UAVs were Iranian-make Shaheds. Hits on southwestern Chernivtsi region saw two people killed and 20 injured, even though this area is far from the front lines of battle with Russian forces.
As Syria’s new rulers exploit wildfire and war to reshape the coastal region, a campaign of arson and forced displacement threatens to extinguish Alawite presence from their ancestral lands
Russia’s only aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov, may soon be retired and dismantled after years of failed modernization efforts and a string of high-profile accidents, according to Russian media reports. Citing informed sources, Izvestia reported that work to repair and upgrade the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser was suspended some time ago. A decision on whether to resume the project or permanently remove the vessel from service is expected soon from the Russian Navy’s Main Command and United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC), the report said.
Speculation is mounting that FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is furious over the Department of Justice’s explosive memo concerning Jeffrey Epstein, with anonymous sources claiming he has issued a stark ultimatum to the White House: dismiss Attorney General Pam Bondi or he will resign from his position.
Now, after his FBI just came out to say 'nothing to see here!' (no list, and Epstein definitely killed himself), Trump just wants the whole thing to go away for some reason we can't quite put our finger on.
The Moscow-Pyongyang bromance continues, based on mutual defense objectives and the landmark agreement struck between Presidents Putin and Kim Jong-Un last summer. As part of the latest in official trips and exchanges Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov was hosted by Kim during a visit to North Korea, where Pyongyang reaffirmed its strong backing of Russia’s war in Ukraine.
Shannon Everett of the trucking advocacy group American Truckers United (ATU) has been one of the most outspoken folks about the Biden-Harris regime's role in the surge of migrant drivers with non-domiciled commercial driver's licenses (CDLs). He warns the influx has transformed U.S. highways into a national security threat and a growing public safety crisis, citing multiple fatal crashes this year involving migrants behind the wheel of fully loaded 80,000-pound big rigs.
When the German state fails to protect the youth, some citizens are taking defense into their own hands, even as the police warn against such an action
There is no evidence the footage was deceptively manipulated, but ambiguities around how the video was processed may further fuel conspiracy theories about Epstein’s death.
In this nine month period, over 20% of these deaths occurred in the Centre and Artibonite areas, signaling that violence is extending well beyond Port-au-Prince into surrounding regions.
interestingly, the White House has acted surprised that the pause was ever given: During a meeting of his Cabinet on Tuesday, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sitting next to him, Trump said he didn't know who signed off on the weapons pause.
#1 Why were Jeffery Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell arrested and charged with operating an enormous sex trafficking ring that supposedly involved thousands of clients if no such clients ever existed? As Robby Starbuck has pointed out, apparently we are supposed to believe that all of the powerful men that visited Epstein’s island were “just there to catch some waves and relax”…
