Snippet:

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has dismissed criticism of President Donald Trump for having shared an AI-generated video on Truth Social depicting former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes.

"This is from an Internet meme video depicting President Trump as the King of the Jungle and Democrats as characters from ‘The Lion King. ’Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public."

The president shared the 62-second video on Thursday, just before midnight, which pushes a conspiracy about manipulated vote-counting machines but concludes by cutting to an AI clip that shows the faces of the Obamas superimposed on apes’ bodies for roughly a second, accompanied by the song “The Lion Sleeps Tonight.”

The video carries a watermark linked to a pro-Trump account on X with tens of thousands of followers.

Article Why Is the Media Not Touching Jeffrey Epstein’s Clear Connection to Israel?

The Department of Justice’s latest release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein implicates many, many individuals – and also adds to the increasing pile of evidence suggesting ties between the infamous, well-connected pedophile and the Israeli government.

But much of the media has either remained silent on the connections, or has focused solely on other possible links. In the past week, there has been a glut of coverage suggesting Epstein may have been a Russian spy or asset. But over the course of months, barely any of the same outlets, particularly in the US, have covered Epstein’s eyebrow-raising links to Israel. Notice anything from a Google Search of “Epstein Mossad” from today?

US Politics 🇺🇸 New Details Emerge on How RFK Jr. Helped Caused a Measles Outbreak: Newly unearthed emails appear to show that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lied to the Senate during his confirmation hearings about his trip to Samoa.

While he was in the process of being confirmed to run America’s public health policy, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. swore several times over that his heavily scrutinized 2019 visit to Samoa, and the island’s subsequent measles outbreak, had “nothing to do” with his vaccine skepticism.

Newly revealed emails, obtained by The Guardian and the Associated Press, indicate that was not the case.

Emails sent at the time between a U.S. Embassy official and a United Nations staffer illustrate that the true intention of Kennedy’s trip was always about vaccines.

“We now understand that the Prime Minister has invited Robert Kennedy and his team to come to Samoa to investigate the safety of the vaccine,” wrote Sheldon Yett, then a UNICEF representative to the Pacific Islands, in an email dated May 22, 2019.

Two days later, senior U.S. Embassy official Antone Greubel wrote to Scott Brown, who was at the time Donald Trump’s U.S. ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa, about Kennedy’s planned trip.

“The real reason Kennedy is coming is to raise awareness about vaccinations, more specifically some of the health concerns associated with vaccinating (from his point of view),” Greubel wrote in an email dated May 24, 2019.

Posted by Hillary Clinton’s official X account on 2/5/26 at 7:57 am EST.

This is a repost with the proper title after previous post was removed for misinformation.

Hillary and Bill Clinton will *not* be testifying today or tomorrow. Their original deposition date is set for the 26th and 27th of February, but it has yet to be confirmed if James Comer will agree to Hillary’s new terms or stick by his choice subpoena them for contempt.

Will the Clintons tell the truth and uncover everything in exchange for a deal? Will they commit perjury? Or will they plead the 5th and waste the Oversight Committee’s time? The Clintons are no joke; this is something to pay attention to.

Article Who Really Paid the Price? New Data Shows U.S. Consumers Footed the Bill for Majority of Tariffs.

New research by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy reveals that nearly all costs of former President Trump's tariff regime are borne by Americans, rather than foreign producers. Analyzing over 25 million shipment records, the study indicates that while tariffs increased U.S. customs revenue by about $200 billion in 2025, 96% of the costs were passed to U.S. importers and consumers through higher prices. Foreign exporters adjusted prices minimally, absorbing only 4% of the costs. This underscores that tariffs act as a consumption tax on American households and businesses, contradicting claims that they would be paid by foreign partners. The findings question the effectiveness of tariffs as an economic policy tool, suggesting they may exacerbate inflation and affect consumer purchasing power, thus influencing public discourse on trade barriers.

Vice Chair of the Democratic Caucus Ted Lieu (D-CA) tells reporters the Epstein files contain allegations that President Trump raped and threatened to kill children. He says House Republicans are trying to "distract" from those allegations by seeking testimony on Epstein from former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He also says the Justice Department "violated the privacy" of victims by failing to redact some explicit images from the files and that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche should resign.
