Trump Finally Gave In…

THIS WEEK ON NEWSSDADDYY!!! 🥤🍿

**JACK DOHERTY AND WHISTLINDIESEL ARRESTED**

We kick off with chaos in creator land. Jack Doherty was arrested in Miami after allegedly blocking traffic at 3am and refusing to move because he “had to complete a bet” for content. Police say they found drugs on him, including amphetamines and marijuana, and charged him with drug possession and resisting arrest without violence. He was out in under 24 hours and is now milking it with mugshot merch and multiple videos. Meanwhile, WhistlinDiesel was arrested in Tennessee and charged with allegedly evading state tax on his $400,000 Ferrari – the same one he destroyed on camera. His arrest docs cite the Ferrari directly and one version of the paperwork listed his bond at 2 million dollars, while other reports say 20,000, leaving everyone confused whether it was a typo or something bigger.

**UK ROADS GET SKINNIER FOR CYCLISTS**

The UK government is quietly pushing guidance to shrink standard lane widths from about 12 feet to 10 feet 8 inches in some places to stop cars overtaking cyclists. In other areas lanes could be widened for safer passing, but either way it means billions of pounds worth of future road schemes could be affected. Councils are not legally forced to comply, but risk losing funding if they ignore it. Drivers are fuming, cyclists are divided, and everyone is mad at something as usual.

**APPLE’S 230 DOLLAR IPHONE POCKET**

Apple has dropped what might be the most hated product of the year: the iPhone “pocket”. It is essentially a fabric sling that costs around 150 dollars for the short version and 250 for the long one, compared to the old iPod socks that were 29 dollars for six. Social media roasted it as peak tech clownery during a cost of living crisis. Then it sold out almost instantly on launch. So is it the worst product Apple has ever made or the smartest grift of all time.

**AFRICA’S OCEAN WARS**

Uganda’s president has said publicly that the Indian Ocean “belongs” to his landlocked country and warned of “very big problems” if Kenya does not grant guaranteed access. His son, the defence chief, doubled down saying Kenya must act or face consequences, after previously boasting it would take less than two weeks to capture Nairobi. At the same time Ethiopia is in a long-running dispute over sea access and has been accused of raising tensions with Eritrea. The big question is whether this turns into real conflict or pushes African countries toward cooperation and regional deals instead.

**GEN Z PROTESTS IN MEXICO**

Huge Gen Z led protests have broken out in Mexico after the assassination of Mayor Carlos Manzo, a vocal critic of organized crime. Demonstrators marched in multiple cities, including outside President Claudia Sheinbaum’s residence, accusing the state of failing to protect citizens and chanting that “the government killed him.” Clashes with police left around 120 people injured, most of them officers. The anger comes against a backdrop of over 1,200 politicians killed since 2000, Mexico’s notoriously violent 2024 elections, and a shocking record on disappeared people and journalists, with almost no convictions. Sheinbaum dismissed the protests as inorganic and “paid for”, saying they were boosted by bots.

**EPSTEIN FILES SHOWDOWN IN CONGRESS**

This week could be crucial for the Jeffrey Epstein case files. The House is expected to finally vote on whether to release them after months of delays from Speaker Mike Johnson. The wild part is Trump has done a complete U-turn. After calling it a “trap” and saying Republicans should avoid the Epstein topic, he now says House Republicans should vote to release the files because “we have nothing to hide” and calls it a “Democrat hoax” that needs to be moved on from. Even if the House votes yes, the files still need to pass the Senate and get signed off by the president, but a successful vote would put major pressure on everyone else and could give Congress a path to override a block later on. If the House votes no, the whole push could stall again. This might be the best and last chance for transparency in a long time.
