– Senator Elissa Slotkin has publicly condemned Hasan Piker for holding Jewish Americans accountable for views related to Israel
– A report sheds light on networks linked to the Muslim Brotherhood that are entrenched within Canadian institutions
– The Dominican Republic has taken a historic step by joining the global battle against antisemitism

Outrage has erupted amongst Democratic senators Elissa Slotkin and Jacky Rosen over Piker’s inflammatory statements, which they argue unjustly target Jewish Americans. Piker’s assertion that American Jews are bound to face violence due to their support of Israel prompted a strong rebuke from lawmakers, who accused the influencer of victim-blaming and warned that such rhetoric only serves to escalate antisemitic hate crimes and political violence in the United States.

Addressing a concerning rise in antisemitism during the 2026 political campaigns, Rep. Byron Donalds, a Republican from Florida, alongside Democrat Rep. Josh Gottheimer, has taken the floor to call out these troubling trends. :

On Wednesday, Meta reached an unprecedented settlement of $17 billion with almost all US states over allegations that its social media platforms were deliberately engineered to captivate children and teens. While the sheer size of the settlement grabs headlines, the significant aspect of this agreement is that Meta is now required for the first time to create substantial barriers between young users and the digital environments that have long been crafted to keep them engaged on their platforms.

The required changes are notably substantial. For accounts belonging to those under 18, Meta will introduce “productive pauses” that break up long periods of scrolling, impose restrictions during nighttime and school hours, and enhance parental controls. These measures will also include limitations on social comparison features like beauty filters and visible like counts, features that have historically made it hard for young users to detach from these platforms.

This intervention doesn’t come a moment too soon.

For years, discussions around children’s exposure to social media have stagnated. Tech corporations have often shirked responsibility by advocating for improved parenting, while parents have contributed to the issue by allowing their young teens to use advanced smartphones and access platforms like Instagram, later expressing helplessness at the significant time their children spend engrossed in these apps.

The reality, as always, is somewhere in between.

Parents remain responsible for what they put into their children’s hands. Meta did not sneak into anyone’s house and leave an iPhone on a child’s nightstand, nor does Instagram require parents to permit their 13-year-olds to open accounts. 

But once parents do allow their children and teenagers onto these platforms — and millions have and will — there is no reason the product itself should be engineered to make their job harder.

Writing for The Free Press in December, Maya Sulkin and Frannie Block compared the lawsuits against social-media companies to the litigation that eventually transformed Big Tobacco. The states’ argument, they explained, was not merely that children used Meta and YouTube too much, but that the companies knew their products were addictive, sought to maximize that addiction and possessed internal research demonstrating potential harms.

The tobacco analogy is useful, but only up to a point. Parents are still responsible for keeping cigarettes away from their children, just as they are responsible for deciding if, when and how their children own a smartphone. But we also decided decades ago that parental responsibility did not give cigarette companies carte blanche to market addictive products to minors and then shrug when children became addicted; the same principle should apply here.

A parent should not expect Meta to parent their child, but they should be able to expect that Meta isn’t employing armies of engineers to figure out how to defeat the limits they are trying to impose.

Robby Starbuck, a frequent critic of Big Tech, was right to give Meta credit after the settlement, writing that, while the industry deserves criticism when it gets things wrong, “It’s equally important to point out when they’re getting it right.” He called the changes an attempt at “meaningful, industry wide change” and urged TikTok, Snapchat and YouTube to follow.

They should.

John Cusey, executive director of the Institute of Families and Technology, was more cautious, telling The Post that the agreement was “a huge step in the right direction” after years in which parents have been “at an impossible disadvantage” against addictive technology. But he also pointed to the settlement’s substantial limitations: Meta admits no wrongdoing, the agreement lasts only 10 years, and it does not reach messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Messenger or the rapidly expanding worlds of artificial intelligence, virtual reality and gaming.

Instagram is far from the only — or even necessarily the greatest — digital threat children encounter.

Kentucky Attorney General Russell Coleman, who helped spearhead the litigation, told The Post that his office is already looking beyond traditional social media. Having spent his career in law enforcement, Coleman said the job is to “go to where the threats are,” calling the fight to make Big Tech safer for children “the opioid battle of my time in office.”

That includes platforms that look nothing like Instagram. Coleman pointed specifically to Roblox, where the concern is not primarily an algorithm serving a teenager an endless stream of damaging content but predators using a gaming platform to gain access to children. Different technology presents different dangers, but the principle is the same: Companies that make enormous sums from children’s attention should bear some responsibility for protecting the kids they are monetizing.

None of this gives parents permission to throw up their hands, but these new protections make it easier for parents to do what they should have been doing all along. A night-time lockout from Meta doesn’t prevent a parent from collecting the phone before bed. A two-hour limit doesn’t mean a 13-year-old is entitled to two hours of Instagram. 

The settlement doesn’t replace parental judgment, but it does give parents reinforcements and acts as another layer of protection.

For too long, families have been fighting on enemy territory against companies with extraordinary expertise and financial incentives to design products that keep their children watching, clicking and scrolling. 

Parents should be expected to parent, but now at least one company making billions from their children have finally agreed to stop making that job harder.

Kylie Jenner has stepped forward to address the swirling rumors suggesting she and her partner Timothee Chalamet might be preparing to expand their family.

The 29-year-old beauty mogul, famed for her successful lip kit empire, is already a mother to two children with her former partner, rapper Travis Scott. Together, they share an eight-year-old daughter, Stormi, and a four-year-old son, Aire.

With their relationship in the public eye for nearly three years, Jenner and Chalamet have now become the focus of heightened pregnancy rumors.

In her response, Jenner stated, “I think that I’m so used to people creating their own narrative that I actually have to just laugh about it and I really don’t care, because I just assume people will figure it out eventually, which is what they always do.”

Addressing the latest wave of speculation, she added, “People think I’m pregnant right now – at least I saw some things – and I’m like: ‘Well, I’m not gonna address everything, ’cause it’s like, I’m gonna be in a bikini somewhere or I’m gonna be out and the rumors will be squashed.'”

‘So I kind of just don’t feel the need to say anything ever,’ she declared on her friends Victoria Villarroel and Anastasia ‘Stassie’ Karanikolaou’s podcast Better Half.

‘I’m just like: “Well, it is what it is.” I can’t comment on everything so I just laugh about it and join in on the party,’ she said with a chuckle.

Jenner’s latest comments come after she remarked that ‘the thought of carrying another baby right now feels insane,’ on her sister Khloe Kardashian’s show The Girls.

In a FaceTime conversation with family friends Yris Palmer and Malika Haqq, she also declared herself ‘99.9 percent sure’ that surrogacy was off the table.

Inasmuch as her own pregnancies had resulted in ‘big healthy babies,’ she felt there was ‘no reason for me to really have a surrogate,’ she said.

Both Jenner and Chalamet were recently trolled for the outfits they wore to her friend Jordyn Woods’ wedding to New York Knicks player Karl-Anthony Towns.

Chalamet, a longtime devotee of the Knicks who is frequently spotted courtside at their games, came in for online raillery on account of his untucked and slightly rumpled checked shirt, which one fan branded ‘sloppy and embarrassing.’

‘This is a plaid shirt that I would see my grandpa wearing fishing,’ joked the Houston-based content creator Liza in a post on TikTok.

Meanwhile, Jenner was accused of upstaging Woods in her revealing black dress, which featured a dangerously high thigh slit and wide cut-outs at her sides.

Jenner and the bride, who were once best friends, were said to have drifted apart in 2019 after Woods shared a kiss at a party with NBA heartthrob Tristan Thompson, who at that point was romantically involved with Khloe.

Although Khloe took Thompson back, dumping him for the final time only in 2021 when news broke that he had fathered a baby with fitness trainer Maralee Nichols, the Kardashian-Jenner family were reputed to have closed ranks against Woods.

In July 2023, Jenner and Woods were spotted going out for sushi together, offering the first public signal of their rapprochement. 

Jenner and Chalamet went public as a couple by kissing passionately in the stands of a Beyonce concert they attended in September 2023.

She was a steadfast presence at his side during his failed Oscars campaign for best actor for Marty Supreme, directed by Josh Safdie.

He was an early Oscars favorite for his turn as a character based on a real underground ping-pong player in 1950s New York.

However, his pomposity in interviews eventually led to a souring of public opinion about him, with sources exclusively telling the Daily Mail about a ‘Stop Timmy’ campaign gathering steam ahead of the Academy Awards. 

Chalamet, whose mother and sister both trained in ballet, then poured fuel on the backlash by remarking that ‘no one cares about’ opera and ballet.

Oscar night turned into a humiliation for Chalamet, who was repeatedly mocked over the comment and then lost best actor to Michael B Jordan for Sinners.

He found comfort in his girlfriend’s affections at the Vanity Fair afterparty, where he was seen wrapping his arms around her and planting a kiss on her cheek.

During Oscar season, Kylie is also said to have performed matchmaking duties for her sister Kendall and Jacob Elordi, who was himself in the midst of a best supporting actor awards season campaign for Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein. 

Sources reported in April that Kendall and Elordi were ‘making out and all over each other’ at Justin Bieber’s Coachella afterparty, via Deuxmoi.

An insider then exclusively informed the Daily Mail they had been dating ‘as far back as early February’ thanks to a spot of matchmaking from Kylie.

‘Kylie was around Jacob a lot during Timothee’s award season marathon because Jacob was nominated for Frankenstein and Timothee was nominated for Marty Supreme,’ the source explained to the Daily Mail.

‘Kylie is the alpha sister and pushed Kenny to start a romance with Jacob because she wanted to set up double dates with Timothee,’ shared the insider. 

‘Kenny’s house is where all the parties happen, a lot of action there, so the four of them got close there,’ the source expanded, divulging that ‘Kenny found out she just clicked with Jacob… there was chemistry.’

Kendall and Elordi were seen in rapt conversation at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in March, leading to a burst of romance rumors from fans.

By May, they were seen drinking rosé together on a beach in Hawaii and enjoying a double date in Los Angeles with Kylie and Chalamet.

The Dominican Republic is poised to join 47 other nations and become the seventh Latin American country to incorporate the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism. President Luis Abinader has instructed the foreign ministry to officially implement the decision as part of the nation’s policies.

This decision aligns with calls from Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun, the U.S. special envoy for Monitoring and Combating Antisemitism, who has encouraged other Latin American nations to emulate the Dominican Republic. He cited the Trump administration’s domestic initiatives as a template for tackling antisemitism globally.

President Abinader revealed this development at the annual Latin American Forum Against Antisemitism, an event organized by the Combat Antisemitism Movement in Santo Domingo. In his translated address, he emphasized that antisemitism poses a danger not only to Jewish communities but to democratic norms and the rights of all individuals. “Antisemitism is not a problem that concerns only the Jewish people,” he noted, “It is a threat to democratic coexistence and to the rights and freedoms of us all.”

The announcement comes amid heightened concern over antisemitism worldwide. The Combat Antisemitism Movement’s Antisemitism Research Center monitored and reported 767 antisemitic incidents globally in March 2026, an average of nearly 25 incidents per day and a 32.5% increase compared with March 2025.

Kaploun praised the Dominican Republic’s decision at the conference as a “historic moment” and called on other governments across the region to follow its lead.

“What you have witnessed tonight is a government standing up for what is right,” he said.

“There cannot be any compromise with antisemitism,” he continued. “We will lead by example, and we will take positive steps to protect every Jewish community.”

Kaploun pointed to the Trump administration’s efforts in the United States as a framework other governments could use to confront antisemitism within their own institutions.

“In America, we have our marching orders,” he said. “We are holding universities accountable. We are prosecuting hate crimes. We have changed our visa vetting programs. We have withdrawn from major U.N. bodies that have promoted terrorism and antisemitism.”

The U.S. State Department has used a working definition of antisemitism, together with guiding examples, since 2010. In 2016, the IHRA’s member countries adopted the current non-legally binding working definition.

The IHRA describes antisemitism as “a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews.” It further explains that antisemitism can include rhetorical or physical manifestations directed against Jewish or non-Jewish individuals, their property, Jewish community institutions or religious facilities.

Its non-legally binding definition and accompanying examples are intended to help governments, law enforcement agencies, universities and other institutions identify contemporary manifestations of antisemitism and respond to incidents more consistently.

The accompanying examples address conduct including Holocaust denial, conspiracy theories about Jewish power, holding Jewish people collectively responsible for Israel’s actions and applying standards to Israel that are not demanded of other democratic nations.

As of the end of 2025, 1,334 governments, public institutions, universities, nonprofit organizations, corporations and sports organizations worldwide had adopted or endorsed the IHRA definition, according to data compiled by the Combat Antisemitism Movement’s Antisemitism Research Center.

Abinader told the conference that, “Rejecting antisemitism does not mean taking a position regarding a particular government or conflict,” he added. “It means stating unequivocally that no political disagreement, no cause and no circumstance can justify hatred, discrimination, or violence against an individual or a community.”

Abinader said the definition would provide the country with a framework for identifying and combating different forms of antisemitism while respecting freedom of expression and other rights protected by the Dominican Constitution.

“Through this decision, the Dominican Republic reaffirms its commitment to the memory of the Holocaust, to the protection of Jewish communities and to the eradication of antisemitism in all its forms,” he said. “Human dignity is indivisible and its defense admits no exceptions.”

The president connected the decision to the Dominican Republic’s history of offering refuge to Jews fleeing Nazi persecution. Following the 1938 Évian Conference, hundreds of Jewish refugees established a community in Sosúa, where they were able to rebuild their lives.

Abinader also announced that his government would commit 50 million Dominican pesos toward constructing a new building for the Jewish Museum of Sosúa to preserve that history.

Once the Foreign Ministry formalizes the decision, the Dominican Republic will join Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Panama and Uruguay as the Latin American countries that have embraced the IHRA framework.

The decision adds to growing regional acceptance of the definition and could set a precedent for additional Latin American governments considering how to formally identify and address antisemitism.

Abinader concluded his remarks with a call for the region to act: “From this land, which at different moments in its history has offered refuge and hope, let us send a firm message throughout Latin America and the Caribbean: Indifference must never prevail in the face of hatred.”

“May this forum enable us to turn memory into education; education into prevention; and our principles into concrete action,” he added.

Kaploun framed that regional effort as one the United States is prepared to support, saying he was representing President Donald Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in delivering a direct message to Latin American leaders: “America stands ready to support our friends in this effort to bring a new Latin America with religious liberty and freedom for everybody.”

In a dramatic courtroom defense, the lawyer representing controversial “manosphere” figure Andrew Tate claimed that his client’s bold and often misogynistic online persona is merely an act. He drew a parallel between Tate’s social media antics and Sacha Baron Cohen’s outlandish “Ali G” character.

“What you see online is not the true Andrew Tate,” insisted attorney Howard Srebnick in court on Thursday, arguing that the persona differs significantly from the real individual.

Both Andrew and his sibling Tristan have remained in federal custody in Miami since July 18. The two are currently contesting extradition to the United Kingdom, where they are confronted with numerous allegations related to sexual assault and sex trafficking.

BENGALURU, India — In Nepal, a deadly flash flood struck on Wednesday, and scientists speculate that the incident might have stemmed from a colossal glacier fragment breaking away. This event likely obstructed the river momentarily, with the subsequent release of pent-up water surging downstream with tremendous force hours later, as initial investigations suggest.

Researchers are diligently analyzing satellite images and ground reports to unravel the precise triggers of the torrent that claimed at least 353 lives. Over 1,300 individuals remain unaccounted for, including several international visitors and pilgrims.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, a magnitude 5.2 glacier collapse occurred on Wednesday, pushing destructive debris downstream and devastating local communities. This conclusion was drawn from a combination of data acquired from proximate seismic stations, long-period seismic waves, and satellite imagery.

“It seems the lower section of a glacier has truly sheared off,” remarked Jakob Steiner, a geoscientist affiliated with the University of Graz in Austria, currently residing in Bangladesh. “When observing the visuals, it’s as if the glacier’s lower part was sliced away with an enormous knife.”

Steiner elaborated that the immense mass of glacial ice plummeting from a considerable height might have appeared akin to a bomb detonation, sparking the ensuing turmoil.

Scientists said it is too early to draw a direct connection between
