🔵 Nuclear Subs Deployed

Good morning. It’s Friday, August 1.
President Donald Trump said Friday that he has ordered the deployment of two U.S. nuclear submarines in response to what he called “highly provocative statements” from former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev about Russia’s nuclear capabilities.
“Based on the highly provocative statements of the Former President of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, who is now the Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation, I have ordered two Nuclear Submarines to be positioned in the appropriate regions, just in case these foolish and inflammatory statements are more than just that,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.
Trump added, “Words are very important, and can often lead to unintended consequences, I hope this will not be one of those instances. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
The FBI redacted Donald Trump’s name, along with the names of other prominent public figures, from references in the Jeffrey Epstein files, three people familiar with the matter told Bloomberg’s Jason Leopold.
Internal directives instructed about 1,000 FBI agents to flag any mention of Trump during a March review of roughly 100,000 pages of records, people familiar with the process told Bloomberg.
The Justice Department said the review turned up no “client list” or evidence linking Trump to criminal activity, despite his name appearing in Epstein’s contact book and flight logs.
Nonfarm payroll growth was slower than expected in July and the unemployment rate ticked higher, raising potential trouble signs for the U.S. labor market as President Donald Trump ramps up tariffs.
Job growth totaled a seasonally adjusted 73,000 for the month, above the June total of 14,000 but below even the meager Dow Jones estimate for a gain of 100,000, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. June and May totals were revised sharply lower, down by a combined 258,000 from previously announced levels.
At the same time, the unemployment rate rose to 4.2%, in line with the forecast.
El Salvador’s Legislative Assembly has approved constitutional changes that clear the way for President Nayib Bukele to run for reelection indefinitely.
The changes passed Thursday night with a 57–3 vote, less than an hour after they were introduced, without debate or amendments. That outcome was expected: Bukele’s party, New Ideas, holds 54 of the Assembly’s 60 seats, and allied parties control three more.
“Historically, reelection has been allowed in El Salvador for almost all elected positions, without prohibitions or particular conditions,” said Ana Figueroa, a New Ideas lawmaker who introduced the measure. “The only exception so far has been the presidency.”
Notorious sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell has quietly been moved to a cushy Texas prison camp known as Club Fed as she tries to hash out a deal to divulge her sordid secrets about late pedophile ex Jeffrey Epstein.
The 63-year-old convicted child sex trafficker was transferred from a lockup in Florida to the minimum-security prison camp in Bryan, Texas, the federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) confirmed to The Post on Friday.
No reason was given for the move, but it comes days after she met Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche twice while trying to seek immunity and a deal to spill her secrets about Epstein.
One of the three suspects in the brutal downtown street beating from early Saturday morning will soon be released on bond.
Jermaine Matthews, 39, will leave the Hamilton County Jail on Thursday after paying a combined $270,000 bond after he was hit with four charges stemming from the beatdown, according to his attorney, Brandon Fox.
“The way that it works, he’s got an electronic monitoring component to his bond,” Fox told Fox News Digital. “Basically an ankle monitor. So, while he posted the financial component, it still requires the probation department to come over and ensure that the ankle monitor is on, [to] tell him the rules, where he can go when, he can go there, that kind of stuff.”
