Good evening. It’s Thursday, July 24.

Jeffrey Epstein’s imprisoned former associate Ghislaine Maxwell met with a top Justice Department official for about five hours Thursday, her attorney said, answering every question in “a very productive day.”

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said he would continue interviewing Maxwell on Friday.

The meeting in a federal courthouse in downtown Tallahassee, not far from the low-security federal prison where Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, comes as the Trump administration is trying to mitigate the political fallout over its handling of the case.

 
 

President Trump signed an executive order Thursday calling on states and cities to end “endemic vagrancy” — and rehouse homeless people including drug addicts and those suffering from mental problems in “treatment centers.”

The order redirects federal funding to prioritize “shifting homeless individuals into long-term institutional settings for humane treatment through the appropriate use of civil commitment.”

On average, more than 274,000 people were sleeping on the streets each night last year under then-President Joe Biden, the order says.

President Trump on Thursday visited the Federal Reserve headquarters alongside Chair Jerome Powell to tour a major renovation taking place there, a project he and his administration have criticized as being over budget.

Powell has drawn Trump’s ire over the central bank’s decision to keep interest rates where they are, citing economic uncertainty. Trump’s visit to the facility included a rare public appearance of the president and Powell together, wearing white hard hats while they walked around the construction site.

Trump notably backed off the notion of firing Powell, whom he appointed in 2017, but kept up the pressure of wanting interest rates lowered to make borrowing more affordable.

Donald Trump‘s White House has responded to Wednesday night’s explosive “South Park” Season 27 premiere, which portrayed the president begging for sex from Satan and featured a Deepfake-assisted PSA where Trump goes fully nude.

“The Left’s hypocrisy truly has no end – for years they have come after ‘South Park’ for what they labeled as ‘offense’ content, but suddenly they are praising the show,” White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers said in a statement to Variety. “Just like the creators of ‘South Park,’ the Left has no authentic or original content, which is why their popularity continues to hit record lows.”

“This show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention,” the statement continued. “President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country’s history – and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump’s hot streak.”

At least ten children, from ages 2 to 15, were locked in an Alabama storm bunker and sexually tortured and trafficked by their parents for three years.

The adults used animal shock collars in their torture of the children. The children were drugged and tortured. Investigators believe there are more victims and perpetrators tied to the horrendous crime.

Alabama police arrested seven suspects in the trafficking ring. More arrests are expected.

A government-run supermarket that has cost Kansas City taxpayers $29million is filled with empty shelves and rotten smells, according to shoppers.

Images at the Sun Fresh grocery store show mostly bare shelves and coolers as well as empty meat, produce and deli departments.

Shoppers said the store once held the fresh items they needed, but that it has been mostly empty for the last three months – and that some of products available appear to be expired.

The Federal Communications Commission cleared the way Thursday for an $8 billion merger between Paramount and Skydance Media.

The deal, which was announced more than a year ago, includes the CBS broadcast television network, Paramount Pictures and the Nickelodeon channel.

“Americans no longer trust the legacy national news media to report fully, accurately, and fairly,” Brendan Carr, chairman of the FCC, wrote in a statement Thursday. “It is time for a change. That is why I welcome Skydance’s commitment to make significant changes at the once storied CBS broadcast network.”
