Video of ex-US Senate staffer having sex in Capitol leaked, he says 'was bored'
Aidan Maese-Czeropski, the former US Senate staffer who sparked controversy after allegedly filming himself having sex in a Capitol hearing room, says he has "no regrets" about the act, according to an interview cited by the New York Post."But I don't regret f-king in the Senate," the 25-year-old told New York Magazine via FaceTime. "I would come in nine hours a day, sit there bored out of my f-king mind. So yeah, I'm going to entertain myself and f-k in a room," he added.advertisementMaese-Czeropski was working for Democratic Senator Ben Cardin of Maryland at the time of the incident. The video, reportedly filmed in Hart 216 - a room notable for hosting testimony from former FBI Director James Comey and the swearing-in of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg - was initially shared in a private WhatsApp group but later leaked and picked up by the Daily Caller. The viral video led to his resignation and widespread media attention.
After a brief psych ward stay, Maese-Czeropski left the US, travelling through Southern Africa and Europe, and eventually settled in Australia. He has since launched an OnlyFans account under the name "Senate Twink Official"."I'm going to make bank off this name," he told New York Magazine.He also claimed, "I know so many people who've f-ked in the Senate. I could throw people under the bus to water out my own scandal."advertisementWhile Maese-Czeropski was fired from Senate Cardin's office, the Capitol Police declined to press charges, stating that the act, though inappropriate, wasn't illegal."It's hard to say that I learned a lesson," he admitted. "In some sense, I f-ked in the Senate because I was miserable and wanted a way out," he added.

US job growth slows to 139,000 in May as Trump trade policies stir uncertainty
US job growth slowed in May amid uncertainty about the Trump administration's import tariffs, but solid wage growth should keep the economic expansion on track and potentially allow the Federal Reserve to delay resuming its interest rate cuts. read more US employers added 139,000 jobs in May, a slowdown from the revised 147,000 in April, as businesses grappled with economic uncertainty triggered by President Donald Trump's trade and fiscal policies. While job gains outpaced economists' expectations of 130,000, the Labor Department report released Friday also included downward revisions for March and April that erased a combined 95,000 jobs from previously reported totals. The unemployment rate held steady at 4.2% for a third straight month. However, the stability masked deeper concerns: more than 625,000 people dropped out of the labor force, a sign that many Americans may be losing confidence in the job market. Consumer surveys also show growing pessimism about the ease of finding work if laid off. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Hiring varied widely across sectors. Healthcare led with 62,000 new jobs, followed by bars and restaurants with 30,000. But the federal government shed 22,000 jobs—the steepest decline since November 2020—as Trump's job cuts and hiring freeze took effect. Factories, already strained by trade uncertainty, lost 8,000 positions. Trump's unpredictable approach to trade—including shifting stances on tariffs—has made long-term planning difficult for businesses, economists say. Further uncertainty comes from Republican infighting over Trump's tax-cut and spending bill, with prominent opposition from within the Senate and from billionaire Elon Musk. Still, average hourly earnings rose 0.4% from April and were up 3.9% year-on-year, slightly stronger than expected. Economists say President Donald Trump's flip-flopping on import tariffs has hampered businesses' ability to plan ahead and hire more workers. Opposition to Trump's tax-cut and spending bill from conservative Republicans in the U.S. Senate and tech billionaire Elon Musk has added another layer of uncertainty for companies. Employment gains continued to be concentrated in the healthcare sector, which added 62,000 jobs that were spread across hospitals, ambulatory services and skilled nursing care facilities. Leisure and hospitality payrolls increased by 48,000, mostly driven by hiring at restaurants and bars. Social assistance employment rose by 16,000 positions. But federal government payrolls decreased by 22,000 and are down 59,000 since January amid an unprecedented campaign by the White House to drastically reduce the government's footprint. The mass firings have been blocked by a federal judge. Reinstated workers who have been put on paid leave are counted as employed. The same applies to those who have accepted buyout offers. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Much of the job growth this year reflects worker hoarding by businesses, anchoring the labor market and economy through higher wages. Average hourly earnings increased 0.4% after gaining 0.2% in April. In the 12 months through May, wages rose 3.9%, matching April's advance. With inputs from agencies

Pentagon watchdog investigates if staffers were asked to delete Hegseth's Signal messages
The Pentagon watchdog is looking into whether any of Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth's aides was asked to delete Signal messages that may have shared sensitive military information with a reporter, according to two people familiar with the investigation and documents reviewed by The Associated Press. The inspector general's request focuses on how information about the March 15 airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen was shared on the messaging app. This comes as Hegseth is scheduled to testify before Congress next week for the first time since his confirmation hearing. He is likely to face questions under oath not only about his handling of sensitive information but also the wider turmoil at the Pentagon following the departures of several senior aides and an internal investigation over information leaks. Hegseth already has faced questions over the installation of an unsecured internet line in his office that bypassed the Pentagon's security protocols and revelations that he shared details about the military strikes in multiple Signal chats. One of the chats included his wife and brother, while the other included President Donald Trump's top national security officials and inadvertently included The Atlantic's editor-in-chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. Neither the Pentagon nor the inspector general's office immediately responded to Friday requests for comment on the investigation. Besides finding out whether anyone was asked to delete Signal messages, the inspector general also is asking some past and current staffers who were with Hegseth on the day of the strikes who posted the information and who had access to his phone, according to the two people familiar with the investigation and the documents reviewed by the AP. The people were not authorised to discuss the investigation and spoke on the condition of anonymity. Democratic lawmakers and a small number of Republicans have said that the information Hegseth posted to the Signal chats before the military jets had reached their targets could have put those pilots' lives at risk and that for any lower-ranking members of the military it would have led to their firing. Hegseth has said none of the information was classified. Multiple current and former military officials have said there is no way details with that specificity, especially before a strike took place, would have been OK to be shared on an unsecured device. 'I said repeatedly, nobody is texting war plans,' Hegseth told Fox News Channel in April after reporting emerged about the chat that included his family members. 'I look at war plans every day. What was shared over Signal then and now, however you characterise it, was informal, unclassified coordinations, for media coordinations and other things. That's what I've said from the beginning.' Trump has made clear that Hegseth continues to have his support, saying during a Memorial Day speech at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia that the defence secretary 'went through a lot' but 'he's doing really well.' Hegseth has limited his public engagements with the press since the Signal controversy. He has yet to hold a Pentagon press briefing, and his spokesman has briefed reporters there only once. The inspector general is investigating Hegseth at the request of the Republican chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Sen Roger Wicker of Mississippi, and the committee's top Democrat, Sen Jack Reed of Rhode Island. Signal is a publicly available app that provides encrypted communications, but it can be hacked and is not approved for carrying classified information. On March 14, one day before the strikes against the Houthis, the Defence Department cautioned personnel about the vulnerability of the app. Trump has said his administration targeted the Houthis over their 'unrelenting campaign of piracy, violence and terrorism.' He has noted the disruption Houthi attacks caused through the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, key waterways for energy and cargo shipments between Asia and Europe through Egypt's Suez Canal. The Houthi rebels attacked more than 100 merchant vessels with missiles and drones, sinking two vessels and killing four sailors, between November 2023 until January this year. Their leadership described the attacks as aimed at ending the Israeli war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. (AP) NPK NPK
