Brexit leader Nigel Farage has already begun winning over fans of the British reality TV show “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here,” despite his participation in this year’s series initially causing a stir amongst the British public.
Farage, 59, won his first “trial” on the first episode on Sunday evening, during which he was forced to hunt for tokens inside a camper van of snakes using only his mouth. The Brexit leader once daubed “Nasty Nige” by Britain’s far-left has already received praise from the show’s viewers, with many remarking that the former leader of UKIP “comes across really well.”

“You know what, I don’t agree with his politics, but Nigel Farage comes across really well on I’m A Celeb,” said one viewer.
“Watching I’m A Celeb and Nigel Farage seems to be such a chill dude. Like him a lot,” stated another.
Farage has in fact been trending on social media for days now, with his presence on the show eclipsing almost all other news items in the country.
The show itself has been running since the early 2000s, with millions of people tuning in to watch celebrities undertake survival-themed trials and challenges every year.
Farage is believed to have received upwards of £1.5 million ($1.869 million) for participating.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Since Memorial Day 2024, on MSNBC’s flagship program, Morning Joe.
🎯IMPACT: The extended absences of the show’s co-hosts have led to declining viewership and raised questions about MSNBC’s direction and priorities.
IN FULL
Since Memorial Day, MSNBC’s Morning Joe has seen its co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski absent from nearly two-thirds of its episodes. The show, which purports to thrive on the dynamic between its co-hosts, has aired on 49 business days during this period, but both Scarborough and Brzezinski have appeared together on only 18 shows — roughly 38% of the summer so far.
On 19 occasions, only one of the two hosts was present, and on 12 days, neither appeared at all. Brzezinski has missed 53% of the summer, while Scarborough has been absent for 37%. This pattern has led to speculation about their commitment to the show and its future, especially as MSNBC undergoes significant changes, including the launch of Versant, a new cable network.
Sources familiar with MSNBC’s internal dynamics suggest the absences may be a “power play,” with Scarborough and Brzezinski reminding the network of their influence. “Morning Joe doesn’t work without them,” one insider noted, highlighting the show’s declining ratings and lack of its signature dynamic in their absence. On Tuesday, the show averaged just 579,000 viewers, with only 53,000 in the key demographic.
While some network sources insist the time off is standard vacation, others point to larger issues. The show’s influence has waned across the political spectrum, with critics on the right dismissing it as partisan theater and some on the left questioning its relevance. The timing of these absences, amid a pivotal political season and MSNBC’s realignment, has fueled further speculation.
Morning Joe has long been a destination for political insiders, but its co-hosts’ extended time off raises questions about its future. As MSNBC shifts toward a streaming-first model, the absence of its flagship morning program’s stars could signal deeper challenges for the network.

🎯IMPACT: Musk’s donations make him the largest individual contributor to the congressional PACs and raise questions about his political intentions.
IN FULL
Tesla billionaire Elon Musk donated $15 million to Donald Trump’s Super PAC MAGA Inc., as well as to the Congressional Leadership Fund and the Senate Leadership Fund, according to Federal Election Commission filings published on Thursday. Both funds are aimed at supporting House and Senate Republicans.
Musk spent nearly $300 million to support Trump and Republicans in their election bids in 2024. He also publicly displayed support for Trump by wearing a “dark MAGA” black hat ahead of the president’s re-election bid. In November, Musk was appointed to head the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
However, tensions between Musk and Trump emerged after Musk’s appointment. In June, the two exchanged insults on social media. Musk accused Trump of being in the Epstein files, while Trump responded by calling Musk a “big-time drug addict.” Although Musk later walked back some of his remarks, the relationship between the two remains strained.
Despite this, Musk has continued to make significant political contributions. On July 7, he announced the formation of his own political party, the America Party. Musk is the largest individual contributor to congressional PACs and has also contributed $45 million to America PAC, a super PAC he oversees.
The FEC filings released last week only cover Musk’s financial activity through the end of June, leaving open the possibility of additional contributions. Musk’s donations and political moves continue to draw attention and speculation about his broader political goals.

🎯IMPACT: Proposed changes could increase the difficulty of the naturalization test and tighten oversight of immigration programs.
IN FULL
Newly appointed U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Director Joseph Edlow is pushing for significant changes to the U.S. naturalization test, which he described as too lenient and not reflective of congressional expectations. Edlow contends that the test format is insufficient to ensure that those seeking naturalization know American civics sufficiently. The current test only requires applicants to answer six out of 10 civics questions correctly and complete basic English reading and writing tasks.
“The test needs to reflect the letter and the spirit of what Congress intended,” Edlow said, adding: “It’s important for people to understand English, our history, our government… and the way the test is written and executed right now doesn’t meet that bar.” He proposes deeper evaluations of English skills throughout the interview process and more comprehensive civics questions to ensure readiness.
Edlow also highlighted flaws in the H-1B visa system, citing instances where U.S. companies exploited the program to underpay foreign workers and replace American employees. “Companies are going for the highest-skilled workers but paying them at the lowest wage level,” he said, calling for tighter oversight and expanded worksite enforcement to prevent abuse.
On welfare-related immigration policies, Edlow announced plans to revisit the public charge rule, which determines whether green card applicants are likely to rely on public assistance. He noted that the rule needs careful review to ensure it aligns with longstanding principles and protects U.S. taxpayers. Additionally, he flagged the growing backlog in USCIS cases as a national security concern, blaming the Biden government’s focus on illegal border crossings for diverting resources away from legal immigration priorities.
“Backlogs that continue to grow are nothing short of a national security threat to this country,” Edlow said. While pledging to reduce adjudication times, he warned that maintaining the integrity of the system would take precedence over quick fixes. “There may be short-term pain, but we will decrease the backlog at a steady clip while protecting the integrity and security of the system,” he concluded.

📍WHEN & WHERE: Findings are based on projections through the mid-2030s.
💬KEY QUOTE: “The purpose of amplifying uncertainty is to manipulate notions of risk to China’s advantage,” the report states.
🎯IMPACT: The report warns of China’s nuclear buildup and urges the U.S. to strengthen deterrence while exposing Beijing’s coercive tactics.
IN FULL
According to a new report from the Hudson Institute, China is expanding its nuclear arsenal not just for traditional deterrence but also to assert greater influence in Asia and challenge the United States’ regional leadership. The think tank warns that by the mid-2030s, Beijing is on track to achieve nuclear parity with the U.S., developing a modern, survivable, and flexible nuclear force that includes “over 1,000 warheads, a fully developed nuclear triad, and tactical nuclear capabilities.”
While the report doesn’t suggest China is preparing to fight a nuclear war, it highlights a more nuanced strategy: using nuclear coercion to undermine U.S. alliances and credibility. The goal, it says, is to “manipulate and degrade trust in America’s nuclear umbrella,” particularly in East and Southeast Asia. By creating uncertainty over whether Washington would actually defend allies such as Japan, South Korea, or the Philippines in a crisis, Beijing hopes to increase doubts and push those nations toward “strategic passivity.”
“The purpose of amplifying uncertainty is to manipulate notions of risk to China’s advantage,” the report states. “This is primarily about exacerbating hesitancy among U.S. allies by exploiting persistent fears of abandonment and doubts regarding America’s commitment.”
China’s nuclear buildup is only part of a broader military and political strategy that combines rapid force modernization with psychological and information warfare. Advanced weapons development is central to this effort, including systems like hypersonic boost-glide delivery vehicles and fractional orbital bombardment platforms.
Beijing’s growing range of delivery methods now includes fixed silos, submarines, road-mobile launchers, and aircraft.

🎯IMPACT: Penate remains in ICE custody pending removal proceedings, with charges of serious sexual offenses against minors still pending.
IN FULL
A 56-year-old illegal immigrant from El Salvador, charged with multiple sex crimes against children but released by a sanctuary county in Pennsylvania, has been detained by federal immigration officials. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), in conjunction with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in Philadelphia, arrested and detained Oscar Adalberto Penate on July 27 after the accused child sex offender was released from the Montgomery County Correctional Facility due to the county’s sanctuary laws.
“If the elected officials in Montgomery County are not going to protect the citizens of the county, we will,” said ICE ERO Philadelphia Field Office Director Brian McShane. “An illegal alien who committed a crime by unlawfully entering the United States, who is then charged with heinous crimes like this, should never be released to prey on the citizens of Montgomery County.”
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated that Penate had an ICE detainer placed on him, but Montgomery County’s sanctuary policies led to his release regardless. McShane criticized these policies, saying, “The sanctuary policies recently enacted by the Montgomery County Commissioners forced prison officials to release this individual to the streets rather than turn him over to ICE officials on the detainer filed against him. I am just glad we got him before he could harm another.”
Penate, who claimed to have entered the United States in 1998 by crossing the border into Texas, was arrested on July 22 by the Pottstown Township Police Department. Charges against him include indecent assault of a person under 13, corruption of minors, and other offenses. These charges remain pending.
DHS also revealed that Penate has a prior criminal history, including a 2001 arrest by the Houston Police Department for resisting arrest, to which he pleaded guilty. He will remain in ICE custody pending removal proceedings.

📍WHEN & WHERE: The figures were revealed on July 31.
🎯IMPACT: The figures reveal that President Trump appears to be following through on his campaign promises to deport illegals at scale.
IN FULL
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is now deporting nearly 1,300 migrants per day, according to new agency data released July 31. The figures show a significant ramp-up under the Trump administration and put the agency on track to surpass the modern-day deportation record set by former President Barack Obama in 2012.
As of July 26, ICE has formally removed 246,287 individuals in fiscal year 2025, up from 228,282 on July 12—an increase of 18,005 deportations in just two weeks. That averages out to 1,286 removals per day. If sustained, ICE could remove nearly 470,000 individuals by the end of the fiscal year, topping Obama’s 2012 record of nearly 420,000.
However, ICE is facing challenges in sustaining this pace. The agency reported that its daily arrests, known as book-ins, have dropped below 900. This decline suggests ICE is struggling to meet President Donald J. Trump’s goal of deporting the millions of migrants who entered the country during what the administration calls the “Bidenborder chaos.”
The drop in new border crossings contributes to the slower pace. June saw the lowest number of border arrests on record for the Trump administration. In the interior, ICE is having difficulty identifying new deportation targets, and efforts to widen its enforcement scope are encountering legal pushback.
A federal judge in Los Angeles ruled last month that ICE agents conducted unconstitutional sweeps to increase arrest numbers in June. Separately, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., ruled on July 26 that ICE cannot use “expedited removal” procedures on migrants who entered the country under President Biden’s controversial humanitarian parole program.
Despite these hurdles, ICE’s detention numbers remain high. The agency held 56,945 people in custody as of July 26, down slightly from a peak of 57,861 in late June, but still well above the 30,000 to 40,000 detainees regularly held under the Biden government.
President Trump’s recently enacted One Big Beautiful Bill Act includes a significant funding boost to expand ICE’s manpower, detention, and deportation infrastructure. ICE may, therefore, be able to ramp up enforcement in the coming months.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Many tweets get you a longer prison sentence than many violent offences.” – Jim Jordan
🎯IMPACT: Critics argue this undermines free speech, while Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s government insists it is protecting public safety and monitoring harmful content.
IN FULL
A secretive British government unit, previously known as the “Counter Disinformation Unit,” has been revived to monitor social media posts critical of migrants being housed in hotels at taxpayers’ expense and “two-tier policing.” The unit, operating under Peter Kyle’s Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, flagged posts to social media firms, warning they could “exacerbate tensions.” E-mails sent during the Southport protests against mass migration in August 2022 revealed concerns over posts, including one video captioned “Looks like Islamabad but it’s Manchester,” which officials claimed was shared to “incite fear of the Muslim community.” The e-mails requested explanations on how flagged content was being handled, though they did not explicitly call for removal.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Chairman of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee, revealed the correspondence after subpoenaing a social media company for documents. Jordan criticized the British government’s approach, stating accurately that, “Many tweets get you a longer prison sentence than many violent offences.”
Government officials have denied censorship claims, asserting the unit’s role is to monitor trends and flag content that violates platforms’ terms of service. A British government spokesman claimed, “Free speech is a cornerstone of our democracy. The Online Safety Act protects it.”
In fact, the Online Safety Act has resulted in a range of content wholly unrelated to child protection being censored, and Britons do not enjoy American-style free speech protections, with thousands being arrested under the Communications Act and other legislation outlawing “grossly offensive” messages, “stirring up hatred,” and other speech-related crimes.

The Democrats’ New York City mayoral candidate, Zohran Mamdani, has revealed he enjoys a New York City Police Department (NYPD) security detail, despite smearing the department and advocating for it to be defunded for years.
“My life is sadly not the one that it was. There are far more threats and with that comes precautions that I wish I didn’t have to take, though they are precautions I am immensely grateful for. Especially the example of the NYPD detail that I have here in New York City,” Mamdani said at a press event on July 31.
The Indian-heritage Ugandan socialist, who only became a U.S. citizen in 2018, has been widely criticised for his past comments on the NYPD, particularly following a mass shooting earlier this week on July 28 that saw four people killed, including an NYPD officer.
In June of 2020, Mamdani referred to the NYPD as “racist, anti-queer & a major threat to public safety,” while in 2021 he stated that, “We can’t reform a system working exactly as designed – to control Black, brown & poor New Yorkers. We need to defund the police… free the thousands locked up unjustly & invest the savings in those most impacted by state violence.”
WATCH:
It’s not normal for a candidate to get an NYPD detail.

💬KEY QUOTE: “Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes.” – Donald Trump
🎯IMPACT: The controversy has reignited debates over the politicization of economic data and the Federal Reserve’s continued obstinacy toward reducing interest rates.
IN FULL
President Donald J. Trump has taken aim at the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and its now former Commissioner, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, claiming that job numbers have been continually and intentionally manipulated to favor Democrats since before the 2024 election. Trump announced McEntarfer’s firing via Truth Social, citing significant errors in job data revisions.
“I was just informed that our Country’s ‘Jobs Numbers’ are being produced by a Biden Appointee, Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the Commissioner of Labor Statistics, who faked the Jobs Numbers before the Election to try and boost Kamala’s chances of Victory,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. He highlighted that the BLS overstated job growth by 818,000 in March 2024 and by 112,000 in August and September 2024, calling these errors “records” and unacceptable.
Trump further stated, “Important numbers like this must be fair and accurate, they can’t be manipulated for political purposes.” He also criticized Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, who—along with the central bank’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)—once again declined to lower interest rates during the FOMC’s July meeting. “Jerome ‘Too Late’ Powell should also be put ‘out to pasture,’” Trump added.
Earlier on Friday, the BLS released significant downward revisions to labor market data for May and June. Meanwhile, July’s jobs numbers fell well below expectations. Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller, a member of the FOMC, made the unprecedented move to publish an official statement blasting his colleagues’ hesitancy to slash borrowing costs. “When labor markets turn, they often turn fast. If we find ourselves needing to support the economy, waiting may unduly delay moving toward appropriate policy,” Waller warned.
The Secretary of Labor, Lori Chavez-DeRemer, backed President Trump’s decision to oust McEntarfer. “A recent string of major revisions has come to light and raised concerns about decisions being made by the Biden-appointed Labor Commissioner,” Chavez-DeRemer wrote in a post on X (formerly Twitter), suggesting possible malfeasance by McEntarfer. She continued: “I support the President’s decision to replace Biden’s Commissioner and ensure the American People can trust the important and influential data coming from BLS.”
“During the search for a replacement, Deputy Commissioner William Wiatrowski will serve as Acting Commissioner,” the Labor Secretary announced.

🎯IMPACT: The decision could lead to further costly lawsuits against Tesla and challenges to its safety reputation.
IN FULL
A jury in Miami, Florida, has ordered Tesla to pay $329 million to victims of a deadly crash involving the company’s Autopilot driver assist technology. The federal jury determined that Tesla’s technology bore significant responsibility for the crash.
Many similar lawsuits against Tesla have been dismissed or settled out of court to avoid public scrutiny. This decision could set a precedent for future legal challenges to Tesla’s Autopilot and other driver-assist technologies.
The crash involved a young couple who were struck while stargazing, and the jury’s decision underscores the potential risks associated with the use of semi-autonomous driving systems. Tesla has often marketed its vehicles as being safe and capable of autonomous driving, but this verdict raises questions about the reliability of such claims.
Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO, has been actively promoting the idea of driverless taxis and expanding the company’s autonomous driving capabilities in several cities. However, this legal setback could complicate those plans and impact consumer confidence in the technology.
