Kennedy family has NEW black sheep after second figure was snubbed from July 4 party alongside RFK Jr
In a video posted by Kerry Kennedy on Saturday, dozens of relatives smiled and waved on the lawn of the family's Hyannis Port estate in Massachusetts, surrounded by flags and patriotic cheer.
But nowhere to be seen were Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - long estranged from the clan - and JFK's only grandson, Jack Schlossberg, who appears to have become the family's newest black sheep.
RFK Jr., 70, known for his anti-vaccine views and conspiracy theories, has been sidelined by much of the family for years.
Readers in the comments were quick to point out both absences, with one asking, 'was Jack & schlossbergs there' and another bluntly writing, 'where is brain worm?' — a reference to the parasite discovered in RFK's brain during a 2012 health scare.
Victoria Kennedy, Ted Kennedy's wife, commented underneath the video confirmed that every family member was invited, but some had other plans to attend.
Schlossberg's notable absence comes amid growing public backlash over his increasingly erratic behavior.
On the Fourth of July, as his relatives celebrated in Massachusetts, 32-year-old Schlossberg posted a bizarre Instagram reel - sporting a shaved head, a gaming headset, and a T-shirt reading 'I heart EU.'
In the clip, filmed outdoors on a sunny lawn with trees in the background, the Harvard Law grad launched into an awkward mix of patriotism, revisionist history, and self-correction: 'Hello and happy Fourth of July.
'This year on the 4th of July, I'm wearing this shirt. Why? You ask, why am I not celebrating my own country today? Well, I am.
'This country wouldn't be anything without our European allies and partners. That's right. Without the French... there would be no America.
'Because in order to stand up to the great British Empire, we needed help. We needed the help of our Cuban allies and partners. We needed the help of our Mexican allies and partners. And we needed the help of our French allies and partners.'

He added: 'So on this 4th of July, yes. I'm celebrating my own country. Of course I am. I know what you're thinking. Mexico didn't - what? - didn't exist as a country, and Cuba's not in Europe. Well? I made a mistake. We all make mistakes. But... the point remains. And I'm not sure what that point is. But Happy Fourth of July, everybody.'
Despite its meandering tone and historical flubs, the video was met with an overwhelmingly positive response in the comments - with many praising Schlossberg's message, humor, and delivery.
Many fans were charmed by his mother's off-camera laughter.
One commenter wrote: Your mom laughing makes me laugh even harder. She's a gem!'
While another added: 'Is that Caroline giggling? Love!! Happy 4th of July!
Days earlier, Schlossberg caused further uproar after launching a grotesque attack on journalist Megyn Kelly.
Under a clip from Kelly's show about the Israel-Iran conflict, Schlossberg wrote: 'Looking extremely feminine!! Very good. Now show us your c@&6.'
The sexually explicit comment was swiftly deleted - but not before screenshots were captured and shared widely. Kelly has yet to publicly respond, though she previously labeled Schlossberg 'despicable.'
It wasn't the first time he's lashed out at Kelly.
In February, Schlossberg deleted all of his social media accounts following a separate tirade targeting the conservative anchor over her views on transgender issues.
Critics accused him of 'having a breakdown.'
The meltdown didn't stop there. When Daily Mail columnist Maureen Callahan wrote about his behavior, Schlossberg lashed out again - telling both Callahan and Kelly to 'eat s***' and referring to the writer as 'Maureen V*****' in a string of unhinged posts.
Despite positioning himself as a progressive voice and self-styled 'true Democrat,' critics say Schlossberg has become a full-time internet troll.
His primary target has been his cousin, RFK Jr., whom he has labeled a 'liar,' a 'predator,' and a 'guru shaman figure.'
In one bizarre April post, he challenged RFK Jr. to a one-on-one fight, writing: 'Me and you, one-on-one, locked in a room, we hash this out. Nobody comes out until one of us has autism. What do you say?'
Schlossberg was hired by Vogue as a political correspondent in 2023 — but has not published anything since October 2024
He has also lashed out at other members of the Trump administration, suggesting in November that all of Trump's cabinet nominees be 'required to submit a stool sample,' writing: 'If they don't give a s*** about bodily autonomy, why not ask for one?'
He tagged Trump's newly tapped health secretary in the same post and added, 'Lots to spare, much to be revealed.'
More recently, Schlossberg inserted himself into yet another controversy — this time involving a new Ryan Murphy show about his late uncle, John F. Kennedy Jr., and Carolyn Bessette.
'Lately, my news feed has been filled with pictures of my uncle, John F. Kennedy Jr., a great man,' Schlossberg said in a video posted to Instagram. 'For those wondering whether his family was ever consulted, or has anything to do with the new shows being made about him, the answer is no.'
He went on to explain that New York law doesn't protect a person's name and image after death, but insisted the producers should 'take seriously what he stood for' and 'donate some of the profits.'
When Murphy shared photos of the lead actors, Paul Kelly and Sarah Pidgeon, Schlossberg jumped into the comments again, writing: 'HEY RYAN — admiration for John is great but maybe consider DONATING PROFITS TO THE KENNEDY LIBRARY thanks.'
Murphy replied: '@jackuno I absolutely will.'
Despite attempting to brand himself as the political heir to Camelot, Schlossberg has struggled to maintain professional credibility.
After graduating from Harvard Law School in 2022, he was hired with great fanfare as a 'political correspondent' for Vogue.
But the role quickly fizzled.
He published only a handful of vague, insider-free columns and hasn't appeared in the magazine since October 2024.

Philippines concerned over higher U.S. tariffs, will continue to negotiate, minister says
MANILA, July 10 (Reuters) - The Philippines is concerned about the United States' decision to impose 20% tariffs on Philippine exports but will continue to negotiate, its economic affairs minister said on Thursday. Secretary Frederick Go told reporters that the Philippines remains committed to talking with the United States in pursuit of a bilateral deal, such as a free trade agreement. "We remain committed to continuing negotiations with the U.S. in good faith to pursue a bilateral, comprehensive, economic agreement, or if possible an FTA," Go told a media briefing. Philippine officials are scheduled to travel next week for talks with their U.S. counterparts before the tariff rate takes effect on August 1. Manila's ambassador to the United States Jose Manuel Romualdez said on Thursday that the Philippines will seek to lower that tariff rate, which remains among the lowest reciprocal duties in Southeast Asia. "We are still planning to negotiate that down," Romualdez said in a phone message. The United States remains a vital export destination, accounting for nearly 16% of the Philippines' total exports in the first five months of the year. Go said the Philippines will continue to pursue key economic reforms to ensure the country remains competitive, and seek more trade deals with other countries to diversify and expand markets for the country's products. U.S. goods trade with the Philippines reached an estimated value of $23.5 billion in 2024, according to data from the Office of the United States Trade Representative. U.S. exports to the Philippines stood at $9.3 billion, a 0.4% increase from 2023, while imports from the Philippines totalled $14.2 billion, up 6.9% year-over-year. The resulting U.S. goods trade deficit with the Philippines widened to $4.9 billion in 2024, a 21.8% increase from the previous year.

The Mission by Tim Weiner review
In 1976 when we were both based in Brussels, my BBC mentor, the great Charles Wheeler, came back to the office from a grand US embassy party one evening and remarked: 'The cleverest and most entertaining people at these things are always CIA. Makes it all the harder to understand why they get everything wrong.' An exaggeration, of course, but one with a degree of truth to it. Why has an organisation with huge amounts of money at its disposal, a record of recruiting the brightest and the best, and the widest of remits, failed to notch up a better record? It's true that we may not know about many of the CIA's successes. But we know about a lot of its failures, and some of them have marked US history ineradicably. In The Mission, Tim Weiner, whose reporting on the CIA in the New York Times was always essential reading, and whose subsequent books on the US intelligence community have a place on the shelves of anyone interested in international affairs, provides a variety of answers to this essential question. As he showed nearly 20 years ago in Legacy of Ashes, his history of the CIA from its founding in 1947 to the end of the 20th century, the agency's position by the end of the 90s was pretty desperate. It was starved of cash and bleeding talent. A high-flyer who had been station chief in Bucharest was revealed to be working for the Russians, handing them the names of large numbers of agents and employees. But the new US administration that came in at the start of 2001 wasn't too worried. In March that year, Donald Rumsfeld, the defence secretary, told the joint chiefs of staff: 'For the first time in decades, the country faces no strategic challenge.' Six months later came 9/11. The CIA had tried to convince the feckless George W Bush about the looming threat of Islamic ultra-fundamentalism, but no one in the administration listened. The agency was regarded as broken. People in British intelligence are often snarky about the CIA, as poor relations tend to be. Nevertheless, some of the private criticisms made by SIS – better known as MI6 – are well observed. (Weiner's sources inside and around the CIA are impressive and absolutely impeccable, yet he seems to have no great interest in other western intelligence agencies; apart from a few scattered references to SIS and GCHQ in The Mission, only Dutch intelligence gets much of a mention.) SIS has tended to believe that a fault line of naivety runs through the CIA: witness the way that Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence led the agency by the nose in Afghanistan, persuading it to lavish funds on anti-western warlords whom the ISI supported for its own political purposes. The CIA's eyes were only finally opened when, by good old-fashioned detective work, its agents discovered that Osama bin Laden was living alongside Pakistani top military brass in Abbottabad. But there's a more fundamental criticism that SIS and other intelligence aficionados level at the CIA: that it has never been allowed to be just an intelligence-gathering agency. US presidents from Truman onwards also wanted it to be a secret army, a point Weiner makes again and again. Long before the shameful Iran-Contra affair in the 1980s, when Reagan's officials sold weapons to Iran then funded the CIA's illegal guerrilla war in Nicaragua with the proceeds, presidents used the agency for their shady schemes despite any ethical qualms its operatives, and sometimes its topmost officers, might have had. The CIA accepted Bush's edict, based on the highly questionable advice he received from the relatively junior White House lawyer John Yoo, that waterboarding, lengthy sleep deprivation and hanging prisoners by their arms for hours on end did not constitute torture. Perhaps, as a government agency, it had no real alternative, but its employees certainly obeyed, sometimes enthusiastically and even sadistically. Weiner is clear in his condemnation of this, but inclined to give the CIA the benefit of the doubt: 'The CIA, with rare exceptions, was not a rogue elephant. When people were trampled, it wasn't the elephant's fault. It was the fault of the mahout – the elephant driver. And the mahout was the president of the United States.' Well, perhaps. But it's hard to find excuses for Gina Haspel, for instance, who attended and oversaw one of the agency's black-site prisons before rising to become the first female director of the CIA. Weiner's sources, which are excellent, seem not to have included Haspel herself. But they do encompass several senior CIA figures from the period under discussion. These people opened up to him, and as a result the book contains many essential new details. Weiner's account of Donald Trump's links to Vladimir Putin in 2016 is clearly based on information from inside the agency, and it leads him to assert openly that Trump was Putin's polezny idiot – his useful idiot. There are all sorts of other important and fascinating revelations in The Mission, but it's the book of a journalist at the top of his game, not an academic. Some of it is written in white-hot anger at the thought of what Trump is doing to the US, and to the CIA in particular. Weiner is clearly channelling CIA opinion when he writes scathingly about the ludicrous John L Ratcliffe, who was given the job of director by Trump. Ratcliffe unhesitatingly complied with Trump's extraordinary demand that the CIA should send the White House the first names and initials of every recent CIA recruit by non-secure email. There is little doubt that Trump has damaged the CIA, but he may not have helped Putin as much as seemed likely when Weiner was writing his book. Whatever the Russian president thought he might get from a second Trump term, he has in fact been damaged quite badly so far. He has lost his puppet and his bases in Syria, partly through the CIA's efforts, and his ally Iran, after a shocking onslaught from Israel, now looks increasingly like a paper tiger. Ukraine – and Weiner is particularly good about the CIA's involvement in trying to stop the invasion in 2022 – hasn't, as many people expected, folded in the face of Putin's assault, and it's become harder for Trump simply to brush that war aside. Whether or not Putin indeed won the presidency for Trump in 2016 (Weiner quotes Russian government cybercriminals who he says swung the election as shouting 'We made America great again!') he is no longer pulling the strings to such good effect. As I say, this is a journalist's book, and bears the marks of it. But no one has opened up the CIA to us like Weiner has, and The Mission deserves to win Weiner a second Pulitzer. Given the intense unpopularity of Trump in the upper echelons of American journalism, he may well get it. John Simpson is the BBC's world affairs editor.

Trump appoints Sean Duffy as NASA administrator after epic Musk snub
Donald Trump has tapped Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to serve as the interim administrator of NASA in an epic snub of his one-time 'First Buddy' Elon Musk. Duffy, a former Congressman from Wisconsin, will now oversee the $25 billion space agency, which has been headed by Janet Petro - a former leader of the Kennedy Space Center - since Trump's term began. 'Sean is doing a TREMENDOUS job in handling our Country´s Transportation Affairs, including creating a state-of-the-art Air Traffic Control systems, while at the same time rebuilding our roads and bridges, making them efficient, and beautiful, again,' the president wrote on his Truth Social page Wednesday night. 'He will be a fantastic leader of the ever more important Space Agency, even if only for a short amount of time. Congratulations, and thank you, Sean!' Duffy graciously accepted the nomination, writing on X that he is 'honored to accept this mission. 'Time to take over space. Let's launch,' he posted. The announcement came just weeks after Trump suddenly withdrew the nomination of Musk-backed entrepreneur and billionaire private astronaut Jared Isaacman, citing his 'prior associations.' The decision angered Musk, whose SpaceX business does contract work for the space agency. Trump touted Duffy's work heading the Department of Transportation in his announcement on his Truth Social page In explaining his decision to renege on Isaacman's nomination, the president claimed that the billionaire was recommended to him by Musk 'and while I thought his friend was very good, I was surprised to learn that he was a blue blooded Democrat who had never contributed to a Republican before.' Federal Election Commission filings obtained by CBS News show Isaacman has donated to Democratic congressional candidates and groups - but has also given some money to the GOP. The New York Times has also revealed that Trump reportedly knew about Isaacman's donations from the moment he chose to nominate him to run NASA - fueling speculation that Isaacman's ouster was more about the president's growing feud with Musk. Trump has even since admitted that he 'thought it inappropriate that a very close friend of Elon, who was in the Space Business, run NASA, when NASA is such a big part of Elon's corporate life.' Isaacman has been a close collaborator with Musk ever since buying his first chartered flight on Musk's SpaceX company in 2021. He was selected to head NASA during the height of Trump's bromance with Musk, and when Trump selected Isaacman at his nominee, the president touted the billionaire as 'an accomplished business leader, philanthropist, pilot and astronaut.' Isaacman was then approved by a Senate committee and was headed to a confirmation vote when Trump suddenly pulled his nomination amid Musk's ouster from the White House. Isaacman then took to X on Monday to 'clarify' some of the things that Trump has said about him, while noting that the 'president is entitled to assemble the leadership team he believes will best serve his administration.' The billionaire rocketman described himself in the lengthy post as 'relatively apolitical' and a 'right-leaning moderate,' and claimed he disclosed his 'political donations across both parties (though 10x more to Republicans)' before his nomination. Isaacman went on to assert that he only knows Elon 'professionally' and does not own any equity in SpaceX, though he has a 'firsthand appreciation for what he and his companies have accomplished' after flying to space twice on SpaceX rockets. 'Like all nominees, I signed an ethics letter and would have honored it,' he wrote. He added that his desire to lead NASA 'was never about political ambition, personal gain or enriching others. 'I love my country and I care deeply about America's competitiveness and leadership in space.' Following Trump's appointment of Duffy on Wednesday, Isaacman called the appointment a 'great move' and wished the transportation secretary well. 'NASA needs political leadership from someone the President trusts and has confidence in,' he wrote on X.
