JD Vance claims inside scoop on Epstein files, and he's spilling it at dinner parties
Dillon pushed back, asking: 'Then why did Pam Bondi call it evidence?'—saying that the attorney general isn't dumb and wouldn't say that unless it meant something. Pam Bondi, former Florida Attorney General, had earlier said there were '10,000 hours of video' and that she had files 'on my desk' ready to review, as per The Daily Beast report.

What happened to Epstein files?
Epstein died in jail in 2019, with officials ruling it a suicide, but many still question this and want answers. Even now, people are mad that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI say there is no Epstein client list and that there will be no more arrests.
Trump and other MAGA supporters, including Vance, once pushed hard to get Epstein files released, believing powerful people were involved. But now, Trump and Vance seem to want to move on from the Epstein case, which is making people suspicious, according to the report by The Daily Beast.
Live Events
Why is everyone suspicious now?
Dillon said on his podcast: 'It feels like they're hiding something, 100 percent.' He thinks the story they're giving doesn't add up. Back in December 2021, Vance tweeted: 'What possible interest would the US government have in keeping Epstein's clients secret? Oh…'
In a June 2025 interview with comedian Theo Von, Vance said: 'Seriously, we need to release the Epstein list. That is an important thing.' Just last week, Von re-shared the clip and asked Vance 'What changed?'—calling out the VP for flipping his stance. Dillon's podcast is popular, often getting hundreds of thousands of views, and he claims to be critical of both parties, as stated by The Daily Beast.

Physical education teacher-student ratio rejigged
The physical education teacher-student ratio in schools in the State will be rejigged to 1:300 to protect teachers who had lost their posts. A meeting convened by Minister for General Education V. Sivankutty here recently reached the decision. It will be sent for the Chief Minister's approval. The physical education teacher-student ratio currently is 1:500. The meeting was held to discuss a slew of demands raised by school physical education teachers. When the 1:300 ratio is considered for upper primary (UP) classes, physical education teachers who lose their posts will be protected by clubbing the lower primary wing of the school too with the UP. To protect high school physical education teachers, the number of physical education periods in class X too will be considered. At present, one post of physical education teacher is created if there are five divisions across classes VIII and IX. Class X divisions are currently not considered for the appointment. So if there is a division fall in classes VIII and IX, then the number of periods in class X will be considered to protect the teachers. In high schools with UP section, high school physical education teachers can be clubbed with the UP wing to protect them. Physical education teachers allege that an order protecting them had been issued as a temporary arrangement in 2017 when they had staged protests to press their demands. These had been issued since then too, but their demands such as change in teacher-student ratio through amendment in the Kerala Education Rules had not been addressed. The physical education teachers have been demanding that all students in State schools receive physical education training. At present, lower primary classes have no physical education periods. Higher secondary classes have physical education periods but no teachers. There are only 1,800-odd physical education teachers in the State. Physical education teachers estimate that 85% of UP schools and 45% of high schools have no physical education teachers. They point out that 11 teachers lost their posts last year while there were more this year.

Pipra Tarn OC suspended in poppy smuggling, fake kidnapping case
1 2 Daltonganj: Palamu superintendent of police (SP) Reeshma Ramesan suspended the officer in-charge of the Pipra Tarn police station, Rajvardhan, over "colossal intelligence failure" . The suspension order, issued on July 25, comes in the wake of a scandal involving a staged kidnapping and illegal activities under the officer's jurisdiction. The SP said, "The officer in-charge failed to act on illegal activities occurring right under his nose, involving police station chowkidar Vinod Paswan and his son Niraj." The case unfolded when four men from Ludhiana, including Harmeet and Satbeer, travelled to Titlangi to purchase poppy husks. The controversy deepened with the revelation of a staged kidnapping for ransom involving Harmeet and Satbeer. The kidnapping, orchestrated by locals, including Niraj, was a cover for a poppy husk smuggling operation. The staged kidnapping resulted in Rs 7.50 lakh being extracted from their families. The ransom was digitally transferred to an account linked to one of the abductors, Pintu Yadav, which has been frozen. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo The situation came to light when Harmeet and Satbeer's sister, a govt doctor, alerted Ramesan about the kidnapping on July 23.
