Ciara Miller on Amanda, West Betrayal, Summer House Reunion Prep

Published by Daniella Wilson

Ciara Miller has spoken out for the first time since West Wilson and Amanda Batula confirmed their relationship in late March.  The Summer House star has remained tightlipped on the scandal that has rocked the Bravosphere, merely only lightly addressing the controversy. In a Friday profile with Glamour, Miller shared her thoughts about her ex and former best friend’s newfound relationship that has been all the talk for Bravo fans over the past few weeks. “It’s one thing to experience hurt behind closed doors,” Miller said. “To experience it so publicly is like another layer, and then to have to see what you thought was your life still play out in season 10. It’s a major mindfuck.” On March 31, Wilson and Batula released a joint statement after weeks of rumors that their friendship had turned romantic. Miller also noted that she received a heads-up “less than 24 hours” before they posted the statement on their separate Instagram Stories.  Wilson joined the cast of Bravo’s Summer House in season eight, where he met the cast and began …

Khanna: Netanyahu in Situation Room ‘a betrayal of the American people’

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) on Wednesday slammed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for reportedly being in the White House’s Situation Room weeks before the U.S.-Israeli joint military operation in Iran began. “Let’s start with this pledge,” Khanna, a possible 2028 White House contender, wrote on the social platform X. “The next Democratic President will never… Source link

Trump’s war crime threat is a betrayal of American values

Trump’s war crime threat is a betrayal of American values

In October 1962, a few days after the United States had stood, in Adlai Stevenson’s famous phrase, “eyeball to eyeball” with the Soviet Union during the Cuban Missile Crisis, President John F. Kennedy invited the Joint Chiefs of Staff to the Oval Office to express his appreciation for their role in managing the two-week standoff. Among them was Gen. Curtis E. LeMay, the Air Force chief of staff who had pushed for immediate airstrikes and a full-scale military invasion of Cuba, and had, to Kennedy’s disbelief, claimed that in the event of such an attack the Russians would not respond militarily.  LeMay, wrote journalist Richard Reeves in “President Kennedy: Profile of Power,” told his commander in chief he didn’t need Kennedy’s gratitude. “We lost!” he said. “We ought to just go in there today and knock ‘em off!” The peaceful resolution to the crisis, which had brought the world close to nuclear conflict, was “the greatest defeat in our history,” LeMay added, according to historian Robert Dallek. Kennedy considered the general unhinged. But now, more …

Removing EU flags is ‘betrayal,’ French minister tells far-right mayors – POLITICO

Removing EU flags is ‘betrayal,’ French minister tells far-right mayors – POLITICO

He added: “There is no dissolution of national identity in European identity, any more than our local identities fade behind our national identity.” In Carcassonne in southern France, National Rally Mayor Christophe Barthès on Sunday filmed himself removing the EU flag from the balcony of the town hall and posted it on his X account. “Out with European flags at town hall! In with French flags,” he wrote. Bryan Masson, the newly elected mayor of Cagnes-sur-Mer, also in southern France, posted a photo of his office displaying a dozen French flags but no EU flag. And Carla Muti, mayor of Canohès, also posted a video of herself taking down an EU flag. Removing or replacing EU flags has become an established procedure among Euroskeptic leaders. When Poland’s right-wing Prime Minister Beata Szydło took office in 2015, she removed the EU flag from the backdrop of her government’s press room. Source link

The Epstein Files Release: A “Betrayal” of Victims

The Epstein Files Release: A “Betrayal” of Victims

Published by Sam Flores

In court filings, the department conceded its “inherent limitations” but made no mention of how those leading the department might have contributed to an even more “limited” effort. A former prosecutor at the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office told me that “when prosecutors resign”—as many DOJ attorneys did throughout 2025—“they leave behind their case files and investigations, and unless new hires are made at the same rate of departures, those left behind might be forced to take on heavier caseloads.” The resources are typically available at DOJ for a large-scale project like this, adds a former senior official in a federal prosecutor’s office, but if assistant US attorneys have full caseloads, “it does not give you the bodies to put on the case. Or at the very least, the attention of those assigned is diverted.” The DOJ may have been shorthanded thanks to the Trump administration’s approach to HR, but it wasn’t just the reduced workforce. The monthslong campaign to delay and then entirely block the release of the files—combined with the DOJ’s prior claims that …

Boom Box: Beats and Betrayal review – the most astonishing British TV | Television

Boom Box: Beats and Betrayal review – the most astonishing British TV | Television

Published by Sam Flores

The UK launch of HBO Max has brought with it some major US series (no more waiting for The Pitt!). More unexpectedly, perhaps, its launch slate also includes this distinctly British true-crime docudrama about a record shop/recording studio in Edmonton, north London. Teens involved in petty crime came to Boom Box to keep off the streets – only to find that the studio itself was a hotbed of gang-related activity. It’s an astonishing tale which is told totally fantastically here, in a series that hopefully heralds HBO Max as a platform that will champion British (as well as American) TV. I strongly advise against Googling Boom Box (the show), or Boom Box (the recording studio), lest you spoil the eventual, frankly ridiculous revelations this series contains. There is one piece of information, however, that does feel impossible to merely hint at: the people these teenagers were getting involved with were not criminals – they were undercover police officers, who had targeted the area after a spate of murders in 2008. As its four episodes unfold, …

Betrayal by Tom Bower book review: Merciless, but Meghan might have the last word

Betrayal by Tom Bower book review: Merciless, but Meghan might have the last word

Published by Sam Flores

Tom Bower tells us at the start of Betrayal what a lot of us wanted to know: whether Harry and Meghan are going to divorce or separate. For, as he observes, “Divorce, debt and disaster are constant themes about the Sussexes’ future”. The answer is no… “for now”. So the Gruesome Twosome (to misquote Julie Burchill) are still, it seems, an item. But two and three on that list are another matter. The Sussexes, he tells us, need three million dollars annually to keep the wolf from the door, and on every front — Netflix, Spotify, jam retailing — the income is drying up. As for the suggestion that Harry apparently entertained, of a return to being a working royal, it too looks like a non-runner. Not with his baleful brother on the case. In fact the most striking observation in this merciless account of the Sussexes is the obvious: that the fate of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor strikes a chill to Prince Harry’s heart. Not that his errors involve allegations in connection with Jeffrey Epstein; just …

How to Restore Trust After Betrayal

How to Restore Trust After Betrayal

Published by Jenni Sidey

Most people believe rebuilding trust after addiction or hidden behavior is simple: “If I don’t screw up again, trust will come back.” But if that were true, many couples wouldn’t still feel stuck years after the drinking stopped, the affair ended, or the secrecy was exposed. The truth is more uncomfortable: Trust doesn’t return just because the behavior stops. It returns when the system that allowed secrecy changes. And those are not the same thing. The Trust Myth: “If Nothing Goes Wrong, Everything Must Be Fine” When trust is broken, whether through hidden drinking, relapse, pornography, financial secrets, or emotional withdrawal, it creates a fundamental shift in the relationship. Before the breach, your partner likely lived in what I call default trust: “I assume you’re honest.”“I assume I know what’s going on.”“I assume we’re aligned.” Then the truth comes out. And suddenly, what was once unquestioned becomes fragile. Here’s the part most people miss: Your partner once trusted you completely while you were still hiding things. So now, silence doesn’t feel reassuring. It can feel …

Rabbi Steven Burg on Changing the Script for Young Jews

Rabbi Steven Burg on Changing the Script for Young Jews

Published by Sam Flores

(RNS) — When Rabbi Steven Burg asks young Jews how they see themselves, the answer he hears most often is, “We’re the people everyone hates.” The response to the attacks on Israel on Oct. 7 accelerated this feeling for many Jews on campus and other environments where lines were drawn between support for an occupied Gaza and the security of the Jewish state and people. Progressive coalitions found themselves fracturing. Interfaith partnerships strained to stay together. Students found themselves abandoned by people they thought were allies. But Burg says the problem runs deeper than politics. In this episode, host Amanda Henderson talks with Burg, CEO of the Jewish educational organization Aish, about what happens to religious identity when an entire generation can only define themselves by who hates them — and what it takes to move from trauma to something they’re actually for.
