Around a fifth of the staff at Europe’s highest-circulation newspaper, Bild, are being fired by owners Axel Springer SE, which also owns influential U.S. publications such as POLITICO and Business Insider. The move is part of a drive to replace human workers with Artificial Intelligence (AI).
“[U]nfortunately [we will] be parting ways with colleagues who have tasks that in the digital world are performed by AI and/or automated processes,” Axel Springer told Bild staff in an email leaked to a rival German publication.

The firings are expected to slash around 200 jobs from the tabloid’s formerly 1,000-strong workforce, and follows Axel Springer boss Mathias Döpfner declaring that AI “has the potential to make independent journalism better than it ever was – or simply replace it” earlier this year.
Döpfner is a friend of Twitter owner Elon Musk, urging him to buy the social media platform and offering to run it for him before he took it over.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Ricky Buria, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Hegseth’s attorney, Tim Parlatore.
📍WHEN & WHERE: The investigation began in spring 2025, within the Pentagon.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Ricky and Tim are some of the folks that they’re zeroing in on as they try to get to the root of everything,” said a source familiar with the probes.
🎯IMPACT: The investigation could destabilize the Pentagon’s leadership amidst ongoing scrutiny over leaks.
IN FULL
The Air Force Office of Special Investigations is probing potential unauthorized disclosures involving Ricky Buria, a military aide who had access to sensitive meetings and devices during his time there. The investigation, which began in the spring of 2025, examines whether Buria could have been a source of leaks. A Biden-Harris era holdover, he amassed significant power in the Trump administration before an exposé by The National Pulse saw the White House block his further ascent.
Tim Parlatore, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s attorney, is also under scrutiny. Investigators are questioning whether Parlatore attended meetings that exceeded his clearance level and whether he was involved in investigating the leaks.
The inquiries are part of a broader effort to address destabilization within the Pentagon’s top ranks, following a series of firings related to leak investigations. These investigations have left the Defense Secretary without key advisers for months, and even ousted key Trump-world figures in the fray.
Back in April, The National Pulse reported exclusively that Buria was the source of major issues inside the department. Buria, a Democrat donor and favorite of Hegseth’s predecessor Lloyd Austin, has been vying for the Defense Secretary’s chief of staff role. However, Pentagon insiders now tell The National Pulse he is suspected of excessive influence over the secretary, with many speculating why.
The Pentagon has not provided specific answers regarding the ongoing probes but has defended Hegseth’s track record.
Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell stated, “Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has successfully reoriented the Department of Defense to put the interests of America’s Warfighters and America’s taxpayers first,” adding: “The success speaks for itself.”

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Donald Trump and his supporters, along with mentions of Democrats and the media.
📍WHEN & WHERE: On Wednesday morning, the statement was made on Truth Social.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bullshit,’ hook, line, and sinker.” – Donald Trump
🎯IMPACT: Trump distances himself from those discussing Epstein, claiming he no longer wants their support, which will doubtless lead to a mid-term election impact if recent polling is to be believed.
IN FULL
In a Truth Social post on Wednesday, President Donald Trump addressed ongoing discussions about Jeffrey Epstein, labeling them as a “hoax” perpetuated by his former supporters and the media. Trump criticized these supporters for being misled by what he described as the “Lunatic Left” and stated that he no longer desires their backing.
Trump falsely compared the Epstein discussions to previous events he deemed as scams, including the Steele Dossier and the Russia investigation, asserting that these narratives are part of a pattern used by Democrats to distract from their failures.
“Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this ‘bullshit,’ hook, line, and sinker,” Trump declared, emphasizing his disapproval of those who continue to engage in these discussions.
“The Radical Left Democrats have hit pay dirt, again! Just like with the FAKE and fully discredited Steele Dossier, the lying 51 “Intelligence” Agents, the Laptop from Hell, which the Dems swore had come from Russia (No, it came from Hunter Biden’s bathroom!), and even the Russia, Russia, Russia Scam itself, a totally fake and made up story used in order to hide Crooked Hillary Clinton’s big loss in the 2016 Presidential Election, these Scams and Hoaxes are all the Democrats are good at – It’s all they have – They are no good at governing, no good at policy, and no good at picking winning candidates. Also, unlike Republicans, they stick together like glue. Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this “bullshit,” hook, line, and sinker. They haven’t learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years. I have had more success in 6 months than perhaps any President in our Country’s history, and all these people want to talk about, with strong prodding by the Fake News and the success starved Dems, is the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax. Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore! Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

📍WHEN & WHERE: June data released in the United States, reflecting national economic trends.
🎯IMPACT: Inflationary pressures appear to be easing, with energy prices deflating and core PPI cooling, despite critics of President Donald J. Trump’s tariffs repeatedly predicting rises.
IN FULL
The latest Producer Price Index (PPI) data for June indicates that inflationary pressures remain subdued, with headline and core PPI both printing cooler than expected. Month-over-month, both measures were unchanged, falling below the anticipated 0.2 percent increase. This comes despite repeated warnings from critics of President Donald J. Trump’s tariffs that the import levies, designed to shield American producers from unfair foreign competition, would drive inflation up.
Headline PPI increased by 2.3 percent year-over-year, a decline from the revised 2.7 percent in May and below the 2.5 percent forecast. This marks the lowest annual increase since September 2024. Meanwhile, core PPI, which excludes food and energy, dropped to 2.6 percent year-over-year, its lowest level since March 2024.
For services, prices edged down 0.1 percent in June, reversing a 0.4 percent increase in May. Other notable decreases were seen in automobile retailing and airline passenger services.
Tariff critics have repeatedly insisted that President Trump’s import levies would reignite inflation, with Jerome Powell, Chairman of the Federal Reserve, using this as an excuse to delay cutting interest rates. However, the new PPI stats show once again that this “tariff-flation” does not appear to be materializing.
🚨 PPI Inflation falls to 2.3% BEATING expectations of all 50 forecasters in Bloomberg’s survey.
LOWEST READING SINCE SEPTEMBER 2024! 📉

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: The poll was conducted by Sigma Dos for the Spanish newspaper El Mundo, with responses reflecting support from voters across party lines.
📍WHEN & WHERE: The poll was recently conducted in Spain, amid increasing concerns over illegal immigration and its societal impacts.
💬KEY QUOTE: “The enormous complexity of immigration policy and the failure of the formulas implemented to try to regulate it have become a major problem for countries like Spain.” – El Mundo
🎯IMPACT: The poll results highlight a growing shift in favor of stricter immigration policies.
IN FULL
A recent Sigma Dos poll commissioned by Spanish media reveals that a significant majority of Spanish citizens, 70 percent, support the mass deportation of illegal immigrants. The results show strong backing across the political spectrum, with 92 percent of center-right Partido Popular (PP) voters and 89 percent of populist Vox supporters in favor. Notably, even 57 percent of voters aligned with Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez’s Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) expressed support for the measure.
Opposition was concentrated within the far-left Sumar party, where 67 percent of respondents rejected the idea. However, Sumar represents a relatively small segment of Spain’s electorate.
The poll specifically referenced Vox’s proposal for mass deportations, a policy that has gained attention across party lines. Immigration has become a “flashpoint” in the European Union (EU) country, with a growing number of citizens, across both the left and right, perceiving illegal immigration as a source of inconvenience. The paper observed that stricter immigration views, “typically associated with the right,” are now being adopted by “left-leaning socialist voters” as well.
The backdrop to this sentiment includes a rapid demographic transformation in Spain. The foreign-born population, which stood at less than one percent in 1991, will reach 20 percent by 2025. Additionally, so-called “family reunification” (chain migration) visas have reportedly surged by 650 percent since 2020, and current projections suggest that, without new restrictions, the ethnic Spanish population could fall to 60 percent by 2039.
The poll’s findings come amid growing public concern over issues such as rising migrant-related crime and record numbers of illegal arrivals in the Canary Islands. The trend reflects a broader European shift, with similar polls in countries like France and Germany indicating rising support for tighter immigration controls and increased anxiety over the security risks linked to mass migration.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: Tesla, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Dillion Angulo, the family of Nabiel Benavides, George Brian McGee, and Elon Musk
📍WHEN & WHERE: Miami, Florida, July 14, 2025
💬KEY QUOTE: “A reasonable jury could find that Tesla acted in reckless disregard of human life for the sake of developing their product and maximizing profit.” – Judge Beth Bloom
🎯IMPACT: The case could alter Tesla’s reputation and influence future regulations on the Autopilot technology.
IN FULL
A lawsuit tied to a 2019 fatal crash involving Tesla’s Autopilot system will proceed to a jury trial in federal court this week. The civil case stems from a collision that killed Nabiel Benavides and seriously injured Dillion Angulo after the driver, George Brian McGee, allegedly activated Autopilot while distracted.
The proceedings will take place at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida and mark the first time a jury will hear arguments about the responsibility of Tesla’s Autopilot system in a fatal accident. The plaintiffs argue the company exaggerated the system’s capabilities and failed to include safety features that could have prevented the crash.
Tesla has denied the allegations, asserting the crash was not caused by its technology. The company claims that the driver overrode Autopilot by pressing the accelerator and that all crash responsibility lies with him. “The evidence clearly shows that this crash had nothing to do with Tesla’s Autopilot technology,” a spokesman said.
However, court filings indicate the vehicle’s onboard systems recorded data showing it recognized obstacles ahead, including a parked SUV and a pedestrian. The plaintiffs argue that Tesla’s emergency braking system failed to engage and that Elon Musk misled the public on what Autopilot could actually do.
Judge Beth Bloom, who is overseeing the case, stated in a recent ruling that a jury could find Tesla acted “in reckless disregard of human life” in its pursuit of technological advancement and market share. Her decision clears the way for a high-stakes trial that could impact how driver-assist systems are regulated nationwide.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), WIRED, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and President Donald J. Trump
📍WHEN & WHERE: New York and Washington, D.C., July 2025
💬KEY QUOTE: “Refer you to the FBI.” – Natalie Baldassarre, DOJ Public Affairs Officer
🎯IMPACT: The edited footage, released amid rising demands for accountability, has reignited skepticism around Jeffrey Epstein’s death, and intensified calls for full disclosure in the Epstein investigation.
IN FULL
Newly revealed metadata shows that almost three minutes were removed from surveillance footage the Department of Justice (DOJ) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had described as “full raw” from outside pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein’s prison cell before he was found dead. Though the Trump administration released the video to demonstrate transparency, the findings have instead raised renewed concerns about potential omissions in critical evidence.
Forensic experts verified that the supposedly “raw” video was edited in Adobe Premiere Pro from two separate files. The first clip was shortened by nearly three minutes, ending precisely at 11:58:58 pm—just ahead of a known one-minute camera lapse attributed by officials to an automatic system reset. The second clip resumes at 12:00:00 am and continues through early morning. While DOJ officials maintain there was no tampering, the specific timing of the edit has drawn scrutiny.
A WIREDinvestigation confirmed that the video was saved and exported multiple times on May 23, 2025, between 4:48 PM and 8:16 PM. The footage includes internal markers used by analysts to flag notable moments, though the public version omits their descriptions. These flags correspond to movement near Epstein’s cell block at the Metropolitan Correctional Center.
A 2023 DOJ Inspector General report found that surveillance at the time of Epstein’s death was limited to two functioning cameras, both tied to outdated and unreliable systems. One captured common areas and stairwells near Epstein’s tier, but not the cell itself. Visibility of the stairway was also obstructed, and neither camera filmed directly inside the cell or at its door.
WIRED’s findings cast doubt on DOJ transparency under Attorney General Pam Bondi, and public pressure continues to mount for a complete and unaltered release of all surveillance evidence.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The raid occurred last Thursday at Glass House Farms in Ventura County, California.
💬KEY QUOTE: “Glass House has never knowingly violated applicable hiring practices and does not and has never employed minors.” – Glass House Brands statement via X.
🎯IMPACT: The raid sparked violent clashes between protestors and agents, raised questions about labor practices, and brought scrutiny to political donations by Glass House Farms’ co-founder.
IN FULL
The co-founder of Glass House Farms, Graham Farra, has donated substantial sums to California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) and other Democrats, according to campaign finance records. Farra’s company, Glass House Farms, was raided by federal agents last Thursday, resulting in the detention of 361 illegal immigrants, including 14 minors. The raid turned violent, with one worker falling to his death from a greenhouse.
Glass House Brands, the parent company of Glass House Farms, issued a statement on X asserting, “Glass House has never knowingly violated applicable hiring practices and does not and has never employed minors.” Farra himself posted on X, stating, “We are focused on taking care of our people and our plants,” though the post was later deleted.
Farra has a history of political contributions to Democrat causes, including a $10,000 donation to Newsom in 2018 and contributions to the Santa Barbara County Democratic Central Committee’s federal PAC and Rep. Salud Carbajal (D-CA).
Newsom’s only comment on the campaign donor revelation was to deflect in a post on X, stating, “Sure is rich for Fox News and the Trump Admin to point to campaign donations to Democrats, when in fact, the CEO is a Trump supporter who donated to my recall and has given to more Republicans.”
The company, co-founded by Farra and Kyle Kazan, has built its reputation on claims of sustainable and ethical cannabis farming. Kazan, a former police officer and teacher, reportedly supports President Donald J. Trump. Glass House Brands has not commented on the recent allegations.
Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin described the conditions at the farm as resembling “exploitation, forced child labor, and potentially human trafficking or smuggling while facing assault and even gunfire.” Among those detained was Mexican national Juan Duarte-Velasquez, who had prior convictions for rape and DUI.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Politicians claim that immigration is going to bring the best and brightest here, but we can see from the stats that’s not true. We are importing large numbers of people who will be a burden on taxpayers. This is madness and damaging our living standards.” – Neil O’Brien MP
🎯IMPACT: The rise in migrant claimants has prompted calls for welfare reform, with concerns over sustainability and fairness for taxpayers.
IN FULL
According to newly released official figures, more than 1.26 million migrants are now claiming Universal Credit (UC) welfare benefits in Britain. The number jumped from 883,470 in 2022 to over 1.26 million in 2024, a sharp increase in just two years. Data from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) shows European Union (EU) migrants represent the largest group, with 770,379 claimants. Additionally, 211,090 are non-EU nationals with Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR), 118,749 are refugees, 54,156 hold humanitarian visas, and 75,267 are on time-limited visas. A further 33,240 are classified as ‘other’.
Conservative MP Neil O’Brien criticized current policies, saying, “Politicians claim that immigration is going to bring the best and brightest here, but we can see from the stats that’s not true. We are importing large numbers of people who will be a burden on taxpayers. This is madness and damaging our living standards.”
The increase in migrant claimants has sparked debate over the sustainability of the British welfare system, with concerns about its impact on public finances and working families already facing a cost-of-living crisis. John O’Connell, Chief Executive of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, warned: “Britain is sleepwalking into a culture of worklessness, with millions of Brits effectively dumped onto the welfare pile, all the while the system appears as a treasure chest for foreign nationals.”
❓WHAT HAPPENED: President Donald J.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Donald J. Trump, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
📍WHEN & WHERE: Trump’s remarks refuting the Financial Times story were made outside the White House on Tuesday, July 15, 2025.
💬KEY QUOTE: “No, he shouldn’t target Moscow.” — President Trump
🎯IMPACT: Trump’s remarks push back against an earlier false report from the Financial Times that mischaracterized a phone call with Zelensky.
IN FULL
President Donald J. Trump clarified that Ukraine should not launch military strikes deep into Russia, including the targeting of Moscow and St. Petersburg. Trump’s remarks, made outside the White House on Tuesday afternoon, contradict an earlier false report from the Financial Times, which claimed that the America First leader had encouraged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to target the Russian cities.
The Financial Times claimed early Tuesday that during a conversation between the two leaders, Trump asked, “Volodymyr, can you hit Moscow? Can you hit St. Petersburg too?” Zelensky allegedly responded confidently, saying, “Absolutely. We can if you give us the weapons.” However, the Trump White House was quick to push back against the report, stating that the newspaper misinterpreted Trump’s comments to Zelensky.
Later Tuesday afternoon, President Trump addressed the false report directly while fielding questions outside the White House. “No, he shouldn’t target Moscow,” Trump said, responding to a question about his call with the Ukrainian leader. Trump went on to address a 50-day window he’s given to Russia to back down from hostilities or face a new round of severe sanctions: “No, I don’t think 50 days is very long, and it could be sooner than that. I don’t think 50 days is very long.”
As diplomatic avenues remain blocked, the war in Ukraine has entered a particularly violent phase. Russia has carried out a wave of intense bombardments across Ukrainian territory, with some of the heaviest attacks reported since the war began.
Cities in the western part of the country, including Lutsk and Ternopil, were among the hardest hit, while in the Kiev region, warehouses were set on fire by drone and missile strikes.

👤WHO WAS INVOLVED: President Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and deceased pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
📍WHEN & WHERE: Tuesday, July 15, 2025.
💬KEY QUOTE: “I would say, that you know, these files were made up by Comey, they were made up by Obama, they were made up by Biden.” — President Trump
🎯IMPACT: Trump’s approval rating has taken a hit after Bondi and the DOJ released a memo on July 7 stating that Jeffrey Epstein had no “client list” and that no foul play was involved in his death.
IN FULL
President Donald J. Trump, leaving the White House en route to an artificial intelligence (AI) summit in Pittsburgh, briefly took questions from the press pool, stating that the ‘Epstein Files’ are a hoax made up by Democrats. The Department of Justice (DOJ) has come under public criticism, especially from Trump’s America First base, for its handling of documents related to the deceased pedophile financier’s alleged sexual blackmail ring.
“She’s given us just a very quick briefing, and in terms of the credibility of the different things they’ve seen,” President Trump said regarding U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi‘s handling of the situation. He continued: “I would say that, you know, these files were made up by [former FBI Director James] Comey, they were made up by [Barack] Obama, they were made up by [Joe] Biden.”
“And we went through years of that, with the Russia-Russia-hoax, with all of the different things we had to go through, we’ve gone through years of it. But she’s handled it very well, and it’s going to be up to her. Whatever she thinks is credible, she should release.”
Notably, Trump’s approval rating has taken a hit after Bondi and the DOJ released a memo on July 7 stating that deceased pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein had no “client list” and that no foul play was involved in his death. The memo contradicted Bondi’s statement earlier this year that such a client list was “sitting on [her] desk.”
The National Pulse reported on Monday that Lara Trump, the President’s daughter-in-law and former Republican National Committee (RNC) co-chairwoman, said she expects that more information related to Epstein’s criminal activities will be released, offering reassurance to those who believe the Trump administration is not revealing the full story.
