The Epstein cloud is metastasizing and becoming a rallying point for deep-seated popular alienation from certain ruling strata. The public begrudgingly has become resigned to accept that their 'rulers' routinely lie and steal, but nonetheless they (particularly within the MAGA faction) have dimly come to understand that there may be vice within the body public which they regard as too detestable to imagine.

Six months since Israel's expanded military assault on the refugee camps of Jenin and Tulkarem in the northern West Bank, over 42,000 Palestinian refugees remain forcibly displaced and have no stable access to food, water, or shelter. Abdelsalam Odeh and his wife have been living in a bus for the past three months. The couple had nowhere to go and no means to pay rent after being expelled at gunpoint from their lifelong home in the Tulkarem refugee camp by the Israeli army earlier this year. But desperation has a way of unlocking ingenuity — and for 71-year-old Odeh, that meant repurposing an old vehicle, piece by piece, and turning it into a home. He converted the inside of the small bus into a bedroom and attached a small kitchen extension using corrugated steel sheets. "It is our duty to be patient and persevere. Our expulsion will not last, no matter how long it persists," Odeh told Mondoweiss from the bus.

It also imposes a blanket 15% tariff on EU exports to the US - terms accepted by Brussels to avoid even steeper trade penalties. In a social media post on Monday, Medvedev, who serves as deputy chair of the Russian Security Council, claimed that the terms of the deal meant Trump had "wiped the floor with Europe."

More than 1,000 rabbis from around the world have accused Israel of weaponizing hunger in Gaza and urged West Jerusalem to allow aid into the enclave.

According to UN Palestinian refugee agency chief Philippe Lazzarini, around 90,000 women and children are suffering from malnutrition in what relief groups describe as a man-made famine caused by the Israeli blockade. Rabbis and Jewish scholars from the US, UK, EU, and Israel signed an open letter declaring that the Jewish people "face a grave moral crisis." The letter reads: "The severe limitation placed on humanitarian relief in Gaza, and the policy of withholding food, water, and medical supplies from a needy civilian population, contradict essential values of Judaism as we understand it."

The alien comet 3I/ATLAS is roughly 7 miles (11.2 kilometers) wide, making it the largest interstellar object ever spotted, according to newly revealed photos from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. The detailed images, which were captured before the extrasolar entity was officially discovered, highlight the immense power of the record-breaking telescope and demonstrate how valuable it will be for finding future interstellar interlopers, researchers say. 3I/ATLAS was discovered on July 1, barrelling toward the sun at more than 130,000 mph (210,000 km/h). Less than 24 hours later, NASA had confirmed that it was the third known interstellar object (ISO) — an ejected piece of an alien star system that is shooting clean through our solar system. It quickly became clear that 3I/ATLAS was a comet, and computer simulations tracing back its likely region of origin hint that it could be up to 3 billion years older than Earth, potentially making it the oldest comet ever detected.
