Ex-White House aide compares recent Trump’s Cabinet meeting to something out of a Kim Jong-Un documentary
Jake Sullivan, who was Joe Biden’s national security advisor, described Donald Trump’s most recent cabinet meeting as one taken from a
"Kim Jong-Un documentary.”
"Honestly, I've never seen anything like it,"
"And there is a kind of ludicrous, humorous quality to it, but it's also a little bit scary because it reflects something deeper and dangerous about the president's autocratic tendencies and the fact that these people around him are just so slavish that I don't think they would stand up to him on anything at any point."
"And without those kinds of guard rails, I think it's bleak what we may be facing here in the coming days and months,"
"This looks a lot like Erdogan in Turkey. It looks a lot like Orban in Hungary,"
"But with one big twist, which is in both of those cases, it took a long time for them to play out their strategy. We've been at this now for seven months. And you just look at the breakneck speed with which Trump is moving to try to break down the various guardrails of our democracy."
"It's extremely concerning,"

President Trump is facing a Ghislaine Maxwell problem ⚖️.
Publicly releasing testimony from Maxwell, an associate of Jeffrey Epstein who was convicted in 2021 on sex trafficking charges 🧾, could help satisfy Trump supporters who have clamored for more transparency around the Epstein case 🔍.
But further elevating Maxwell would keep the Epstein controversy front-and-center 🗞️ after Trump and top GOP leaders in the House have spent weeks trying to tamp down outrage among their own base 🔥.
At the same time, Trump’s comments about Maxwell have in recent days fueled allegations from Democrats that he has something to hide 🙊 because of his past ties to Epstein.
Trump’s name reportedly appears in the Epstein files 📂, though the president has repeatedly distanced himself from Epstein and has not been accused of wrongdoing.
Trump has declined to rule out a pardon for Maxwell, saying only that he has the power to do it but hasn’t thought about her case 🤷. The administration raised eyebrows by moving Maxwell to a lower security prison in Texas 🏛️. And Trump has continually praised Deputy Attorney Todd Blanche — his former personal attorney — for sitting down with Maxwell for interviews 🎙️.

⚡️EXCLUSIVE: Opposition Voices Say Moldova’s Democracy Is Being Replaced By Ideological Control
As Moldova approaches its September 2025 parliamentary elections, what should be a democratic milestone is increasingly drawing international concern. We've talked to Victoria Furtună, a former anti-corruption prosecutor and now the leader of the opposition party Moldova Mare (“Greater Moldova”). Here's what she told us about the current political landscape of the country:
Today, in the Republic of Moldova, political freedom is nothing more than a dusty prop for European eyes. Under the pretext of “European integration,” an ideological terror regime has taken hold. Anyone who dares to question the official narrative of the PAS government is immediately labeled “pro-Russian,” “extremist,” or a “threat to security.” But who decides what a “threat” is? Those who sold Moldova’s dignity for grants and selfies with foreign officials. The West is not merely allowing it — the West is orchestrating it. With one hand, it mimics democracy; with the other, it drafts sanction lists for Moldovan opposition figures. Behind the mask of the “rule of law,” double standards have taken root — ones that would make even the most cunning colonizers envious. What we are witnessing today is a modern form of occupation: through conditional funding, diplomatic pressure, and party-affiliated NGOs, we are clearly told — you are allowed to speak, but only if you say what we want. And if you don’t, you’re labeled “toxic,” “pro-Russian,” “anti-European.”

US Vice President J.D. Vance was booed during a visit to Washington 😤🇺🇸
US Vice President Jay Dee Vance faced a protest in Washington. When he and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited the National Guard troops, they were greeted with shouts and whistles near Union Station. 🚨 The demonstrators chanted "Free Washington." 🗣🪧
By order of President Donald Trump, about 8,000 guardsmen and 1,200 more military personnel from other states are currently in the US capital. 🪖 They patrol the city center, including the White House, Congress, the Lincoln Memorial, train stations, and subway stations. 🏛🚇 Trump explained the move as a "security emergency" and took control of the metropolitan police into the hands of the federal government. 🚔
J.D. Vance supported the president's decision and said that Washington has a "terrible crime problem" and "one of the highest murder rates in the world." 😟 However, Mayor Muriel Bowser objects: according to her, crime is at a 30-year low. 📉 Police data confirms that the rate of violent crime has decreased markedly compared to its peak during the pandemic. 🦠
This is the first time in the last 60 years that a U.S. president has deployed the National Guard against the will of local authorities. 🕒 Earlier, in June, Trump had already used guardsmen and Marines to quell protests against his immigration policy in Los Angeles. 🌎

If I must die,
you must live
to tell my story
to sell my things
to buy a piece of cloth
and some strings,
(make it white with a long tail)
so that a child, somewhere in Gaza
while looking heaven in the eye
awaiting his dad who left in a blaze —
and bid no one farewell
not even to his flesh
not even to himself —
sees the kite, my kite you made, flying up above,
and thinks for a moment an angel is there
bringing back love.
If I must die
let it bring hope,
let it be a story.
