'Trump is Netanyahu's puppet': Elmo's X account hacked in shocking political, anti-Semitic tirade
The breach led to the dissemination of offensive, politically charged, and anti-Semitic remarks.
The malicious posts included antisemitic remarks, explicit demands for the release of alleged Jeffrey Epstein files, and comments targeting US President Donald Trump.
One tweet from the compromised account explicitly stated: "Elmo says ALL JEWS SHOULD D**. F**K JEWS. JEWS CONTROL THE WORLD AND NEED TO BE EX**********" .
Another message read: "Donald Trump is Netanyahu's puppet because he is in the Epstein files," and a further post demanded: "RELEASE THE FILES @realDonaldTrump CHILD F****R" .
Sesame Workshop, the organization behind "Sesame Street," swiftly confirmed the breach, stating, "Elmo's X account was compromised today by an unknown hacker who posted disgusting messages, including antisemitic and racist posts. We are working to restore full control of the account".
The hacker's specific demand for "Epstein files" taps into a persistent discussion in the United States, despite federal agents, including the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), having "debunked the idea" that an "Epstein client list" exists.
This narrative has continued to circulate, with pro-Trump social media influencers and conservative media personalities referencing "The Epstein Files", most recently by Tucker Carlson.
Trump himself has publicly addressed the issue, defending Attorney General Pam Bondi's performance regarding the files .

Trump expects 'constructive conversation' with Putin
US President Donald Trump said Monday he expects to have "constructive conversations" with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin and expressed displeasure with Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky for ruling out territorial concessions. The US president has spent the first months of his second term in office trying to broker peace in Ukraine -- after boasting he could end the conflict in 24 hours -- but multiple rounds of talks, phone calls and diplomatic visits have failed to yield a breakthrough. Trump and Putin will hold a summit in Alaska on Friday in a bid to halt the conflict, which was triggered by Moscow's February 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It will be the first between sitting US and Russian presidents since Joe Biden met Putin in Geneva in June 2021. "I'm going to speak to Vladimir Putin and I'm going to be telling him 'you've got to end this war,'" Trump told a White House press conference, saying that he would "like to see a ceasefire very, very quickly." "I think we'll have constructive conversations," said the president, noting that he would seek out Putin's "parameters" for peace, then call Zelensky and other European leaders right after the meeting. Trump said last week that "there'll be some swapping of territories to the betterment of both" Ukraine and Russia -- a suggestion Zelensky rejected. 'There'll be some swapping' The Ukrainian president warned Saturday that "decisions without Ukraine" would not bring peace and said his country's people "will not give their land to the occupier." Trump said he was a "little bothered" by Zelensky's stance on territorial concessions, and insisted that land swaps would take place. "There'll be some swapping, there'll be some changes in land," he said. But Trump also stated that he would not make a unilateral agreement: "I'm not going to make a deal, it's not up to me to make a deal," he said, while emphasizing that he thinks "a deal should be made." Three rounds of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine have failed to bear fruit, and it remains unclear whether the Trump-Putin summit would bring peace any closer. Russian bombardments have forced millions of people to flee their homes and have destroyed swathes of eastern and southern Ukraine, and Putin has resisted multiple calls from the United States, Europe and Kyiv for a ceasefire. Trump said he will know fairly quickly into the talks with Putin whether or not a deal would be coming, and that he may still walk away from trying to broker peace in Ukraine. "I may leave and say good luck and that'll be the end. I may say this is not going to be settled," Trump said. The US president said his aim is to bring Putin and Zelensky together, with or without being present himself. "Ultimately I'm going to put the two of them in a room, I'll be there or I won't be there, and I think it'll get solved," Trump said.

Trump deploys National Guard to tackle Washington crime
US President Donald Trump said Monday he will deploy military and federal law enforcement in Washington as he seeks to curb violent crime in the nation's capital. The Republican leader told a White House news conference he plans to place the DC Metropolitan Police under the direct control of the federal government while sending in the National Guard. The overwhelmingly Democratic city faces allegations from Republican politicians that it is overrun by crime, plagued by homelessness and financially mismanaged -- although violent offenses are down. "This is Liberation Day in DC, and we're going to take our capital back," Trump said. Trump -- a convicted felon who has pardoned around 1,500 people involved in the 2021 US Capitol riot in Washington -- complained that police and prosecutors aren't tough enough. He had repeatedly threatened a federal takeover of the city of 700,000, saying crime in Washington is "totally out of control." The new approach echoes Trump's immigration policies that have effectively sealed the southern border amid mass deportations while deploying active-duty troops against protesters in Los Angeles. He told reporters he planned to roll out the policy to other crime-ridden cities, spotlighting problems in New York and Chicago. Unlike the 50 states, Washington operates under a unique relationship with the federal government that limits its autonomy and grants Congress extraordinary control over local matters. Since the mid-1970s, the Home Rule Act has allowed residents to elect a mayor and a city council, although Congress still controls the city's budget. Preliminary data from DC police show significant drops in violent crime between 2023 and 2024, although that was coming off the back of a post-pandemic surge. Trump posted on social media ahead of the news conference that he wants to "stop violent crime" and tackle homeless encampments, after signing an order last month making it easier to arrest homeless people. Trump ordered homeless people to "move out" of the city in a Truth Social post on Sunday, vowing to "make our Capital safer and more beautiful than it ever was before."

Trump Wants to Clear Homeless from Washington and Move Them "Away from the Capital" - Jordan News
Trump Wants to Clear Homeless from Washington and Move Them "Away from the Capital" On Sunday, US President Donald Trump pledged to clear Washington, D.C. of homeless people and imprison criminals, despite the mayor of the capital, Muriel Bowser, confirming that there is currently no increase in crime rates. اضافة اعلان Trump said on his platform "Truth Social": "Homeless people must leave immediately, we will provide you with places to stay, but away from the capital. As for criminals, you don't need to leave — we will put you in jail where you belong." The White House declined to clarify the legal basis Trump would rely on to expel homeless people from Washington. The Republican president only controls federal lands and buildings in the city. According to Reuters, Trump intends to hold a press conference Monday "to stop violent crimes in Washington, D.C." It is unclear if he will announce more details about a plan to clear the capital of homeless people. Mayor Bowser, a Democrat, confirmed that the capital "is not witnessing a sharp rise in crime rates." The city police reported that violent crime rates in the first seven months of 2025 dropped by 26% compared to last year, while the overall crime rate declined by about 7%. — (Agencies)
