The Justice Department (DOJ) confirmed Friday that the personal email of FBI Director Kash Patel was compromised by an Iran-linked hacking group, sparking an uproar from critics who noted the irony in a top national security official not securing their own personal email account.“The FBI boss who’s supposed to protect America couldn’t even lock down his own inbox from foreign spies,” wrote liberal influencer Ed Krassenstein Friday in a social media post on X to his more than 1 million followers. “How does this scream ‘strong on national security?’”The group that claimed responsibility for the security breach is Handala Hack, which is affiliated with the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security, per the DOJ. Earlier this month, the DOJ issued a $10 million reward for information on any of its members.In a defiant statement published on Friday, Handala Hack said that the $10 million reward was what motivated them to release Patel’s personal files and photos. The group mocked the FBI for how “easily” its security was breached.“The so-called ‘impenetrable’ systems of the FBI were brought to their knees within hours by our team,” reads a statement from the hacking group. “All personal and confidential information of Kash Patel, including emails, conversations, documents, and even classified files, is now available for public download. This is the security that the U.S. government boasts about?! If your director can be compromised this easily, what do you expect from your lower-level employees?”Krassenstein was not alone in mocking Patel for his alleged incompetence. Journalist Max Blumenthal took aim at Patel specifically over a select-few photos released by the hacking group that appeared to show the FBI director on a trip to Cuba, which the Trump administration is currently starving of resources with crippling sanctions that have shuttered hospitals and made food scarce.“While US federal agents harass Americans for bringing humanitarian aid to Cuba, seizing their phones and subjecting them to interrogations at airports, photos surface of FBI Director Kash Patel on a trip to Havana enjoying cigars, rum and local culture,” Blumenthal wrote Friday in a social media post on X to their more than 840,000 followers.BREAKING: Iran-linked hackers from the Handala group (tied to Iran’s MOIS) just released personal photos of FBI Director Kash Patel, including him smoking cigars, plus an old resume stolen from his private Gmail account.

CNN data expert Harry Enten revealed how working class Americans have turned on President Donald Trump. Enten described during a live broadcast on Friday how polling shows working class voters — classified as people who make $50,000-a-year or less — were a major swing vote bloc that helped elect Trump in 2024. But now, they've been left disappointed. "That was a very important part of his coalition," Enten explained. "But look at this now. Look at the net approval rating that he has with those making under $50K. Down it goes. Look at that. That's a 26 point switcheroo in the latest average of polls. Look at that -24 points. The working class voters are abandoning Donald Trump. Those who helped put him over the top in 2024 are saying, you know what? Not for me right now."The struggling economy has left them dissatisfied with the president. "His net approval rating with them right now is absolutely atrocious when it comes to the economy," Enten added. "They have seen what has happened. They have seen what has happened on tariffs. They have seen what has happened with the war. They have seen the gas prices go up. And you just say to yourself, if you're a voter making under $50K, you know what the economy, it is not where we want it to be. And therefore we are turning against Trump on the economy and we are turning against him overall as well."

• UN votes to describe slave trade as ‘gravest crime against humanity’Despite resistance from states who had role in chattel slavery, many feel this is an idea whose time has comeJohn Mahama knows a thing or two about beating the establishment. On Wednesday, less than two years after completing a remarkable comeback as Ghana’s president with a landslide defeat of the ruling party candidate, he rallied the world to ratify a landmark vote against transatlantic chattel slavery, despite major opposition from the same western entities that drove it for centuries.The resolution to declare the practice as “the gravest crime against humanity” passed with a decisive majority at the UN general assembly and has been largely welcomed across Africa. Yet the details of the tally reveal a world still deeply divided on the gravity of the sin of enslaving more than 15 million people as chattel over the course of 400 years. Continue reading...
