Jimmy Kimmel attends anti-Trump rally as president predicts his cancellation
Jimmy Kimmel is taking time out of his vacation to protest against President Donald Trump amid 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert's' cancellation and the president's prediction Kimmel is on the chopping block, too. The 57-year-old host shared a photo of himself at an anti-Trump protest with his family just days after the president threatened his show could be 'next.' 'I absolutely love that Colbert got fired. I hear Jimmy Kimmel is next,' Trump wrote on Truth Social post. 'Has even less talent than Colbert!' Trump also took a shot at late-night host Jimmy Fallon, adding he is 'the Moron on NBC who ruined the once great Tonight Show.' Kimmel responded to the president's threats with a pointed caption writing, 'May every day be another wonderful secret,' he said referencing the letter Trump allegedly wrote to Jeffrey Epstein. In the post, Kimmel is photographed with his wife and children as they hold signs that include the phrases, 'Don't bend the knee, 'Make America Good Again' and 'I wish we had a better president!' This all comes amid the abrupt announcement that Stephen Colbert's 'The Late Show' would end next year after 10 seasons. The ending of the longtime show raised the eyebrows of many given the timing. Earlier this month, Paramount settled a $16 million settlement with Trump after the president accused the network of giving a flatting edit to a '60 Minutes' interview with Kamala Harris. Paramount released a statement insisting that ending 'The Late Show' is 'purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night.' The network also said the decision was 'not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.' _____

Trump administration releases thousands of previously classified MLK assassination documents
The Trump administration on Monday released records of the FBI's surveillance of Martin Luther King Jr., despite opposition from the slain Nobel laureate's family and the civil rights group that he led until his 1968 assassination. The digital document dump includes more than 240,000 pages of records that had been under a court-imposed seal since 1977, when the FBI first gathered the records and turned them over to the National Archives and Records Administration. In a lengthy statement released Monday, King's two living children, Martin III, 67, and Bernice, 62, said their father's killing has been a 'captivating public curiosity for decades.' But the pair emphasized the personal nature of the matter and urged that the files 'be viewed within their full historical context.' The Kings got advance access to the records and had their own teams reviewing them. Those efforts continued even as the government granted public access. Among the documents are leads the FBI received after King's assassination and details of the CIA's fixation on King's pivot to international anti-war and anti-poverty movements in the years before he was killed. It was not immediately clear whether the documents shed new light on King's life, the Civil Rights Movement or his murder. 'As the children of Dr. King and Mrs. Coretta Scott King, his tragic death has been an intensely personal grief — a devastating loss for his wife, children, and the granddaughter he never met — an absence our family has endured for over 57 years,' they wrote. 'We ask those who engage with the release of these files to do so with empathy, restraint, and respect for our family's continuing grief.' They also repeated the family's long-held contention that James Earl Ray, the man convicted of assassinating King, was not solely responsible, if at all. Bernice King was 5 years old when her father was killed at the age of 39. Martin III was 10. A statement from the office of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard called the disclosure 'unprecedented' and said many of the records had been digitized for the first time. She praised President Donald Trump for pushing the issue. Release is 'transparency' to some, a 'distraction' for others Trump promised as a candidate to release files related to President John F. Kennedy's 1963 assassination. When Trump took office in January, he signed an executive order to declassify the JFK records, along with those associated with Robert F. Kennedy's and MLK's 1968 assassinations. The government unsealed the JFK records in March and disclosed some RFK files in April. The announcement from Gabbard's office included a statement from Alveda King, Martin Luther King Jr.'s niece, who is an outspoken conservative and has broken from King's children on various topics — including the FBI files. Alveda King said she was 'grateful to President Trump' for his 'transparency.' Separately, Attorney General Pam Bondi's social media account featured a picture of the attorney general with Alveda King. Besides fulfilling Trump's order, the latest release means another alternative headline for the president as he tries to mollify supporters angry over his administration's handling of records concerning the sex trafficking investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, who killed himself behind bars while awaiting trial in 2019, during Trump's first presidency. Trump last Friday ordered the Justice Department to release grand jury testimony but stopped short of unsealing the entire case file. Bernice King and Martin Luther King III did not mention Trump in their statement Monday. But Bernice King later posted on her personal Instagram account a black-and-white photo of her father, looking annoyed, with the caption 'Now, do the Epstein files.' And some civil rights activists did not spare the president. 'Trump releasing the MLK assassination files is not about transparency or justice,' said the Rev. Al Sharpton. 'It's a desperate attempt to distract people from the firestorm engulfing Trump over the Epstein files and the public unraveling of his credibility among the MAGA base.' The King Center, founded by King's widow and now led by Bernice King, reacted separately from what Bernice said jointly with her brother. The King Center statement framed the release as a distraction — but from more than short-term political controversy. 'It is unfortunate and ill-timed, given the myriad of pressing issues and injustices affecting the United States and the global society,' the King Center, linking those challenges to MLK's efforts. 'This righteous work should be our collective response to renewed attention on the assassination of a great purveyor of true peace.'

Critics say Trump trying to distract from Epstein by talking about everything but that
Critics of President Donald Trump are accusing him of trying to distract from the Jeffrey Epstein files as the administration faces pushback for more transparency regarding the case. Among a recent flurry of wide-ranging posts on his social media platform, Trump on Sunday demanded that the Washington Commanders reverse the team's name change, claiming that there is "a big clamoring for this." He then followed up several hours later, saying, "My statement on the Washington Redskins has totally blown up, but only in a very positive way," and threatened to not facilitate a deal for the football team's new stadium in Washington, D.C., if it does not change its name. In response to the post, Joe Walsh, a former Republican congressman who ran against Trump for president in 2020, said on social media, "Trump is scared to death of the Epstein files." The Department of Justice and FBI's announcement in a July 6 memo that they would not release any additional files on Epstein, after the Trump administration earlier promised to do so, has angered many of the president's supporters. The memo also said they determined that there is no Epstein "client list," which has been the subject of conspiracy theories boosted by the FBI's Kash Patel and Dan Bongino prior to joining the Trump administration, further angering some of Trump's most vocal supporters. After the Trump administration announced the release Monday of 230,000 files related to the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., Rev. Al Sharpton claimed the move was a "desperate attempt to distract people from the firestorm engulfing Trump over the Epstein files and the public unraveling of his credibility among the MAGA base." California Sen. Adam Schiff has also accused the president of trying to distract from the Epstein firestorm. In a post on Sunday, Trump continued his attacks on Schiff, claiming the Democrat should go to prison for allegedly falsifying loan documents regarding his Maryland residence. Schiff previously said that Trump's accusation is a "convenient distraction" from the Epstein controversy. "What really is going on here is this is Donald Trump trying to bring about political retribution, retaliation, trying to distract from his Epstein files problem," Schiff said in a video message last week. Among other recent posts, Trump on Monday called for an immediate end to cashless bail and railed against the federal judge overseeing Harvard University's challenge to the Trump administration's withholding billions of federal funds from the school, calling her a "TOTAL DISASTER." He also weighed in on the case involving Bryan Kohberger, who is set to be sentenced this week after pleading guilty to murdering four University of Idaho students, in a social media post Monday that appears to be the first time that the president had spoken out publicly about the 2022 killings. Trump also turned his attention to the Wall Street Journal, pushing back against what he called a "typically untruthful story" published Sunday that reported that in the past few days, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent privately laid out his case to Trump for why he shouldn't try to push out Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Trump's criticism of the Wall Street Journal comes days after the president filed a $10 billion libel lawsuit against the paper, Rupert Murdoch and others over the Thursday report about Trump's alleged birthday message sent to Epstein in 2003, which he says does not exist. The president also reposted a video on his social media platform on Sunday that included fake footage of former President Barack Obama being arrested in the Oval Office and behind bars. Trump has in recent days baselessly accused Obama and other Democrats of making up and doctoring Epstein files. Democratic strategist Sawyer Hackett argued that with posts like the Washington Commanders name change and Obama arrest video, Trump is attempting to "distract from the Epstein scandal." ESPN's Stephen A. Smith also called Trump's Commanders remarks "petty" and "evasive," claiming in a broadcast of ESPN's "First Take" on Monday that Trump was attempting to distract his base from "other issues, including the Epstein files." Trump did address the Epstein uproar on Saturday, reiterating on his social media platform that he has ordered the Justice Department to request the release of more details on the probe into the wealthy financier and convicted sex offender, who died by suicide in jail in 2019. The move follows calls from both Republicans and Democrats for transparency in the wake of the DOJ and FBI's July 6 memo. Though in his post on Saturday, Trump claimed that releasing grand jury testimony in the Epstein case may do little to quell the outspoken criticism of his administration's handling of the case, writing, "Even if the Court gave its full and unwavering approval, nothing will be good enough for the troublemakers and radical left lunatics making the request. It will always be more, more, more." White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt maintained on Monday that Trump is being transparent with his base about the Epstein case. "He knows what his supporters want. It's transparency, and he has given them that on all accounts when it comes to everything this administration has done," Leavitt told reporters. "No question is off limits here at this White House, not just for the president, but myself as well," she added. Beyond the handling of the Epstein case, Trump appears to have lost ground on issues that once were among his strongest attributes, including immigration. A recent Gallup poll shows Trump's approval rating on immigration is underwater among American adults, and particularly among Hispanic Americans. Among American adults, 62% disapprove of Trump's handling of immigration, according to the poll. Only 21% of Hispanic Americans approve of how Trump is handling immigration issues, according to Gallup. In recent polling from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research (AP-NORC), only 43% of U.S. adults said they approved of his handling of immigration -- down from the 49% in March, the poll found. In addition to immigration, Trump earned less than 50% approval on every issue included in the poll, including the economy, government spending, taxes, trade, health care and natural disaster relief. Overall, 58% of U.S. adults disapprove of his job as president, the poll found.
