BREAKING: Bari Weiss's CBS News gets caught sweeping a MAJOR Jeffrey Epstein story under the rug, proving once and for all that the brand is now full-blown MAGA.

This is absolutely inexcusable...

"Bari Weiss now an intricate part of the Epstein cover up," Ryan Grim of Drop Site News wrote on X.

He was reacting to a bombshell story in Bloomberg which revealed that Deutsche Bank AG "failed to promptly report to US authorities" over $250 million in "suspicious transactions tied to Jeffrey Epstein." Some of those funds were used to pay women in Russia and Eastern European countries, a major red flag for sex trafficking investigators.

The stunning news was disclosed by Senator Ron Wyden in a new report entitled "Looking the Other Way: How Wall Street Banks Enabled Jeffrey Epstein’s Sex Trafficking.”

The report also details how Bank of America Corp. reported "$170 million in Epstein-related transactions connected to billionaire Leon Black," but only did so five to seven years after the transactions took place. In other words, after the parties involved had ample time to cover their tracks.

In a sane country, Wyden's efforts to uncover the truth over the course of several years would have been bipartisan. But since Republicans control Congress and their party leader is deeply implicated in the Epstein files, Wyden was limited in his ability to obtain documents and interview witnesses. In the report, he criticized Republicans for their blatant obstructionism.

But it's one particular detail in Wyden's report that's drawing attention to Weiss. The senator stated that he was interviewed back in March by then-60 Minutes correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi for a segment on the connection between Wall Street banks, the government of the U.S. Virgins Islands, and Epstein.

Alfonsi was later fired for criticizing CBS News' leadership, specifically editor-in-chief Weiss, regarding a different segment.

The Epstein story never aired.

So what are we to make of this beyond the obvious, which is that Weiss has completely destroy CBS's credibility and integrity?

There are a few explanations at play. Weiss was installed by Trump ally Larry Ellison to steer the network's coverage in a more MAGA-friendly direction. She has enthusiastically done just that. Suppressing Epstein stories keeps the scandal out of the news, which helps Trump since he was clearly buried to the hilt in the late pedophile's predations. It's also worth noting that Weiss’s wife Nellie Bowles appears in the Epstein files.

The second explanation involves a more macro-analysis. Outside of shielding just Trump, Weiss is committed to upholding the status quo more broadly. She has failed upward in this world despite her lack of morals or discernible intellect by flattering the prejudices of powerful oligarchs. Exposing the big banks for being involved with — or at the very least turning a blind eye to — Epstein's sex trafficking empire would mean implicating the epicenter of American capitalist power. Once journalists start pulling threads on the banks, everything could come unraveled. These are institutions that launder money for drug cartels and shuttle money back and forth for the same intelligence agencies that Epstein was clearly in bed with. Dig into him, and all the rot comes spilling into the open.

Please ❤️ and share to demand that Bari Weiss resign in shame!

Turns out he didn’t kick Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago. He lied to all of us. Again.

BREAKING: Doug Ford FIRES BACK at Trump’s Canada tariffs by cutting U.S. companies out of Ontario contracts — and ripping up its Starlink deal.

A petulant Donald Trump wants a trade war with Canada. Now, Ontario Premier Doug Ford just showed him exactly what that actually costs.

Responding to Trump's new 50% tariffs on Canadian goods, Ford announced Ontario is banning all U.S.-based companies from participating in the province's government procurement contracts, effective immediately.

This isn't small change: Ontario and its agencies spend approximately $30 billion annually on procurement, layered on top of a massive $200 billion infrastructure plan. American businesses just lost access to tens of billions of dollars in potential revenue.

"They only have President Trump to blame," Ford said bluntly.

But Ford didn't stop there. In a move dripping with well-deserved symbolism, Ontario is completely tearing up its contract with Starlink — Elon Musk's satellite internet company. "It's done, it's gone," Ford declared.

The message is unmistakable: Ontario isn't interested in enriching companies tied to an administration actively waging economic war against Canadian workers and families.

"We won't award contracts to people who enable and encourage economic attacks on our province and our country," Ford said.

And Ford isn't going it alone. He's calling on all 444 municipalities across Ontario to adopt the same procurement ban, with cities like Brampton, led by Mayor Patrick Brown, already stepping up to join the fight.

This is shaping up as a coordinated, province-wide — and potentially nationwide — economic response, with Ford explicitly framing it as part of "Team Canada's" opening salvo against Trump's tariffs.

Let's be clear about what's happening here.

Trump picked this fight, hitting Canadian goods with punishing tariffs over shifting, often contradictory justifications, from wildfire smoke to retaliatory grievances over alcohol sales.

Ontario isn't backing down or begging for mercy. It's hitting back, strategically and forcefully, by cutting American companies out of tens of billions in Canadian taxpayer dollars.

Trump wanted Canada to come "running back," as he put it. Instead, he's getting a united, defiant response that's going to cost American businesses dearly.

And meanwhile, who is going to ultimately pay that 50% tariff on imported Canadian goods? American consumers, that’s who.

There goes Trump, driving up inflation once again

🚨BREAKING KEY MOMENT:

Jon Ossoff nailed Hegseth to the wall and forced him to confess UNDER OATH that they never actually "destroyed" or "obliterated" Iran's missile threat.

@OccupyDemocrats Trump votes using a mail-in ballot. But he doesn't want you using mail-in ballots. So he ordered the USPS not to deliver mail-in ballots. This is Trump and Republicans opposing democracy.
We must oppose the SAVE Act and Trump's efforts to federalize elections.
Elect Democrats.

Trump is depraved and dangerous to himself and those around him…and he will throw you under the bus in a heartbeat.
I don’t know if JD realizes it, but he has already been run over by the bus a couple of times…Jesus would tell you to resign bro and keep your butt out of prison…
