Hypocrisy? Nancy Mace calls for death penalty for child rapists; X Community Notes reveal she said it moments after voting against Epstein files release
Just minutes after voting against a Democratic-led effort to release the long-awaited Jeffrey Epstein files, Congresswoman Nancy Mace took to social media with a bold statement: 'All child r*pists should get the death penalty,' according to Axios, as noted by X community notes on her post. Her post has since drawn intense backlash, with critics accusing her and fellow Republicans of protecting abusers. Mace's post came shortly after the House voted 211–210 to block a procedural move that would have triggered debate on forcing the justice department to release the Epstein documents within 30 days, according to the Clerk of the United States House of Representatives All 211 votes against the motion came from Republicans. Just one Republican crossing over would have tipped the outcome. Although Mace is not on the House Rules Committee, she was among the 211 GOP members who voted against the move to bring the matter to the floor, leaving many on social media questioning her sincerity. Procedural or political? Democrats had sought to advance the amendment, first introduced by Representative Ro Khanna, via a procedural manoeuvre. The attempt followed the Rules Committee's decision to strike down the amendment the previous evening. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cách giao dịch ETH/USD mà không cần nắm giữ Ether IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo Representative Mary Gay Scanlon introduced the motion on Tuesday to force a vote, but it failed narrowly. The measure would have forced the release of files related to the Epstein case, which is still a hot topic for both Republicans and Democrats, especially among supporters of US President Donald Trump. Many in the MAGA movement have long demanded more transparency about Epstein's network and connections. Even outspoken Republican figures such as Marjorie Taylor Greene, who have previously voiced support for releasing the Epstein files, voted against the motion. Mace defends her vote In a follow-up post on X, Mace attempted to clarify her position, saying the vote in question was being misrepresented. 'There was no vote on the Epstein files today... despite Democrats best efforts to trick the FAKE NEWS and YOU into thinking otherwise,' she wrote. She argued that the vote was simply a routine procedural action known as the 'Previous Question' (PQ), not about Epstein or any specific issue. 'If it fails, the minority takes over. In today's GOP-led Congress, Democrats have no shot at defeating the PQ. So they played games – knowing it would fail – and then falsely claimed Republicans voted against releasing the Epstein files,' Mace posted. She continued, 'Don't fall for it. A TOTAL and COMPLETE LIE. This was a routine, party-line procedural vote. Nothing more. In fact, a PQ hasn't failed since the 1980s.' However, another X Community Note said, 'Misleading. GOP twice blocked efforts to get Epstein files released,' citing Politico.

Explained: The dwarfism controversy at Lamine Yamal's 18th birthday party
TL;DR Lamine Yamal threw a flashy, mafia-themed 18th birthday party, and things got messy when it came out that he had hired people with dwarfism as part of the entertainment. Disability rights groups weren't having it and called it out as degrading. Now there's a government investigation, legal threats, and a whole lot of media heat. Meanwhile, the performers say they were treated fine. As Yamal heads into Barça's pre-season, he's got more than just football to focus on. What happened? Barcelona's rising star Lamine Yamal is in hot water after footage leaked from his big 18th birthday bash. The party, held at a luxe mansion near Barcelona, had everything: A-listers, top DJs, and apparently, dwarf entertainers. Phones were supposed to be banned inside, but once the performers were spotted outside, it all went public. That's when things escalated. Disability advocacy groups quickly voiced outrage, saying the whole thing was offensive and demeaning. What is the public reaction? One of Spain's main disability rights groups, ADEE (Association for People with Achondroplasia and Other Skeletal Dysplasias), slammed the whole setup and filed a formal complaint. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Blind husband regains his sight, but doesn't tell his wife and he realizes he's been lied to for years. Novelodge Undo They say hiring people with dwarfism for entertainment like this breaks Spanish law, which is about dignity and not making a spectacle out of people's disabilities. Spain's Ministry of Social Rights backed that up and asked prosecutors to look into whether Yamal's party broke the rules. The message was clear: fame doesn't give you a free pass. Carolina Puente, who heads ADEE, was especially vocal. She's worried that this kind of thing sends the wrong message, especially coming from someone so young and influential. According to her, it's not just a bad look, it could be illegal. If the law was broken, fines could go up to €1 million. That's a hefty price tag for a birthday party. And then there's another twist. Claudia Calvo, a former Miss Teenager Spain, said she was approached about attending the party, but only if she met certain 'physical standards.' She turned it down and later posted about it, adding more fuel to the fire. Why this matters? Lamine Yamal isn't just some kid throwing a party. He's a breakout star and role model for a whole generation. When someone with that kind of influence does something that might reinforce old, harmful stereotypes, it doesn't go unnoticed. People look up to him, which means everything he does carries more weight, especially something like this. From a legal standpoint, this could actually be a big deal. It might become a major test case for how Spain enforces its disability rights laws when it comes to private events. It's not just about what's technically legal, it's about what society is willing to accept in 2025. Then there's the tricky part, navigating between respect and exploitation. Supporters of Yamal argue the performers were there by choice, they were paid, and they were treated respectfully. But critics say it doesn't matter if there was no bad intent. Hiring people just for how they look, especially when it's tied to their disability, can still be humiliating, even if everyone's smiling. What happens next? Right now, things are in the hands of Spain's legal system. The Ministry of Social Rights has officially asked prosecutors to dig deeper and decide if this broke the anti-discrimination law. Meanwhile, ADEE is pushing ahead with plans to sue. If things don't go Yamal's way, he could be facing up to a million euros in fines. So far, though, it's radio silence from Yamal. No public statement, no apology, nothing from his camp or FC Barcelona either. And the longer that silence lasts, the more people are starting to wonder what it says. There's growing concern that this whole situation reflects a bigger issue, a disconnect between celebrity lifestyles and the social standards that are rapidly evolving, especially around how entertainers with disabilities are treated. Bottom line What started as a private celebration quickly turned into a public controversy. Lamine Yamal's birthday party is now under serious legal and social scrutiny, and the stakes are bigger than just bad PR. This isn't just about one night, it's about what kind of culture we're building around fame, identity, and respect. Whether Yamal responds or not, this conversation is far from over.

LUCKNOW: A 36-year-old schoolteacher was bludgeoned to death by her husband while she was asleep at their home in Gorakhpur district on Monday night, following a heated dispute over money. Police said the accused, identified as Ravi Pratap, fled the scene after also attempting to attack the couple's 13-year-old son, who managed to escape and raise an alarm. The victim, Asha Bharti, worked as a teacher at Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya. Her husband, Ravi Pratap, reportedly operated a small medical store. According to preliminary investigations, Ravi had been pressuring Asha to give him Rs 15,000 every month for personal expenses.

On the night of the incident, Ravi allegedly struck Asha on the head multiple times with a heavy grinding stone while she was sleeping. The attack was so brutal that she died on the spot. Their teenage son, who was woken by the noise, tried to intervene but Ravi chased him away.
