SUMMARY: Jeffrey Williams Senior, the father of the artist involved in a legal case, expressed mixed feelings about his son’s decision to take a plea deal. While he initially supported continuing to fight, he ultimately respects his son’s autonomy. He criticized the district attorney’s ban preventing his son from living in Metro Atlanta and voiced concerns about freedom of speech, particularly regarding the use of his son’s lyrics against him. He emphasized the need for reform in the legal system and encouraged people to vote for change. He concluded by urging support for those still facing charges and highlighted the importance of family and community solidarity.

The father of Young Thug specially called out Fulton County District Attorney Fani WIllis following his son’s sentencing in the YSL trial.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is canceling 22 mRNA vaccine development projects totaling $500 million. These include vaccines targeting COVID-19, the flu, and other respiratory viruses. Kennedy criticized mRNA vaccines on social media, favoring traditional whole-virus vaccines and novel platforms less affected by viral mutations. Experts warn this move is risky, citing mRNA’s proven safety and role in controlling the COVID-19 pandemic and its potential for rapid vaccine production during future outbreaks. HHS plans to prioritize developing a “universal vaccine” mimicking natural immunity, targeting multiple viruses including coronaviruses and flu.

SUMMARY: House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) has issued subpoenas to the DOJ and 10 high-profile former officials—including former President Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton, and former Attorneys General Barr, Lynch, Holder, Garland, Sessions, and Gonzales—demanding documents and depositions related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. This follows a bipartisan subcommittee vote seeking unredacted Epstein files and probes into federal handling of sex trafficking cases. Comer set specific deposition dates from August to October but agreed to delay Maxwell’s deposition until after her Supreme Court petition is resolved. The investigation aims to inform legislative reforms on sex trafficking enforcement and plea agreements.

SUMMARY: Parents are shopping earlier this year for back-to-school supplies due to fears of rising prices caused by tariffs linked to President Trump’s trade wars. A National Retail Foundation survey found 67% of shoppers started buying before mid-July, citing tariff-driven price concerns. Inflation rose 2.7% in June, partly due to tariffs increasing costs across Federal Reserve regions. Many families face tighter budgets, with increased demand for assistance from organizations like the Salvation Army. Experts warn prices will keep rising later in the school year and holiday season, while tariff uncertainty affects business investments and consumer behavior.
