Following some online debate, Sabrina Carpenter is providing an alternate cover to her upcoming album, 'Man's Best Friend,' and says its approved by the man upstairs. The Grammy winner debuted a secondary cover for her seventh studio album in which Carpenter glamorously clutches onto a man in a suit with a few other stray men in the background in the black and white shot. After announcing the new album a few weeks ago, Carpenter received backlash for the recordâs cover art, which saw her on her knees in a black dress as presumably a man stood out-of-shot and clutched onto her hair.

Rumors are flying after former Rep. George Santos posted a cryptic message suggesting Rep. Matt Gaetz could replace Pam Bondi as Attorney General. The speculation comes amid MAGA outrage over Bondi's failed promises about the Epstein files and a DOJ report debunking her claims of a âclient list.â FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino may resign over the internal feud, and FBI Chief Kash Patel could follow.
As calls for Bondiâs resignation grow louder, Santosâ viral X postâ"Matt Gaetz is MIA at Turning Points USA tonight! Something is in motion!"âfueled speculation. Meanwhile, conservative voices like Megyn Kelly and Tucker Carlson slammed Bondiâs actions, with Carlson reviving theories about Epsteinâs intel ties. Amid the firestorm, many MAGA loyalists are pushing for Gaetz to be installed as acting AG, even if temporarily. Will Trump make the move?

Pam Bondi is facing intense backlash from MAGA loyalists following the DOJ and FBIâs conclusion that there is no âEpstein client list.â The admission contradicts Bondiâs claim that such a list existed and was âon her desk,â a statement she made on Fox News in February. MAGA influencers like Laura Loomer, Liz Wheeler, and Megyn Kelly have publicly criticized Bondi, accusing her of either ignorance or laziness.
Sources say FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is considering resigning after a heated dispute with Bondi, while FBI Chief Kash Patel may follow suit. Internal friction has escalated into a full-blown crisis, with calls for Bondiâs resignation intensifying across conservative media. This debacle comes amid renewed scrutiny over Epstein documents and rising frustration that key files remain unreleased. The fallout could result in a major shakeup within the DOJ and Trump-aligned circles, with Bondi at the center of the storm.

U.S. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has ignited a firestorm by calling Donald Trump a âRapistâ in a social media post referencing Jeffrey Epstein. The remark, made on X, accused Trump of obstructing the release of Epstein-related files during his presidency. The post went viral, drawing immediate outrage from Trumpâs supporters, with many labeling the comment defamatory.
Conservative voices, including Laura Loomer, invoked precedent from a recent $15 million defamation settlement involving ABCâs George Stephanopoulos. Critics argue Trump has never been criminally convicted of Rape, and AOCâs post could open the door to legal action. The controversy is unfolding alongside renewed scrutiny of the Epstein case, where the DOJ recently denied the existence of a âclient listâ and reaffirmed Epsteinâs death as suicide. AOC has not yet responded to the backlash.

Iran has signaled its willingness to resume nuclear diplomacyâbut only under strict conditions. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said renewed talks must include U.S. guarantees that Iranian nuclear sites will not be struck again, following recent Israeli and U.S. airstrikes, including the impactful June 22 bombing campaign. The cancelled June 15 round in Oman collapsed after Tehran deemed the attacks a âdeclaration of war.â Araghchi told Le Monde that diplomacy must now be rooted in accountability, mutual respect, and concrete assurances. Tehran continues enriching uranium to 60% purity under IAEA oversight, arguing this proves its programâs peaceful goals. Iran also refuses to discuss its ballistic missile capability, calling it defensively crucial. Washington asserts Trump remains committed to peaceâthough Araghchi dismissed claims of Iranâs program being âobliteratedâ and hinted at possible compensation for damage. The stakes are high as both sides weigh whether talks can survive past recent military escalations.

In a fiery escalation of U.S.-Brazil tensions, Donald Trump has publicly defended former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, slamming Brazilâs legal proceedings against him as âvery unfair.â Trump called Bolsonaro a âgood manâ and âtough negotiator,â drawing outrage from current President Lula da Silva, who warned the U.S. of âreciprocal tariffsâ if Trumpâs threatened 50% import duties go into effect.
Lula condemned Trumpâs remarks and questioned the legitimacy of his defense, particularly as Bolsonaro faces trial for plotting to prevent Lulaâs presidency in 2023. Despite Trump's stance, Brazil's government downplayed the tariffâs impact, projecting continued growth. Tensions flared as Lula said while Brazil seeks dialogue, it would not bow to threats. Trump hinted at a conversation with Lula but showed no urgency. As the 2025 global trade climate heats up, this Trump-Bolsonaro-Lula standoff marks a dramatic pivot in diplomatic tone between two major Western Hemisphere powers.
