The Kansas City Chiefs player shared photos of his romantic proposal on Instagram, revealing the ring given to Taylor Swift. The jewel was custom-made in the singer’s image by Kindred Lubeck of Artifex Fine and Travis Kelce himself, as reported by Page Six.
Typically, Artifex Fine rings are priced between US$4,300 and US$38,000, but according to one jewelry expert, this item could be worth… over a million dollars!
K-Pop Demon Hunters confirmed its huge success with a special event on August 23 and 24, shown in over 1,700 theaters in the U.S. and Canada, where it raked in nearly $22 million and topped the North American box office!
“KPop Demon Hunters” became an unexpected juggernaut this summer, and is on its way to reaching the cultural resonance of Disney movies like “Encanto” and “Frozen.” But its popularity hasn’t been limited to children. Parents are eagerly watching the film, too.
After conquering Netflix as soon as it was released, becoming the hit of the summer without anyone even seeing it coming, the K-Pop phenomenon Demon Hunters is making a name for itself on Spotify thanks to its soundtrack, and now in cinemas too.
The film, which blends a fantasy universe with musical performances, captivated a vast community of fans around the world over the summer.

On Spotify, the soundtrack was a runaway success, making the album the must-have of the season.
The song Golden became the summer’s biggest hit, reaching number one on the Billboard Global 200 and dominating the charts in fourteen countries, including the U.S., the U.K. and South Korea.

It also topped the Spotify charts, topping the US daily chart and remaining number one worldwide.
At the same time, the film confirmed its huge success with a special event on August 23 and 24, shown in over 1,700 theaters in the U.S. and Canada, where it raked in almost $22 million and topped the North American box office.

This theatrical triumph, the first of its kind for a Netflix production, demonstrates K-Pop’s ability to cross borders and establish itself as a global cultural phenomenon.
Netflix announced that this animated musical is now the most popular film in the platform’s history in the English-language category, dethroning Red Notice, with a total of 236 million views.
The House Republican Oversight Committee has subpoenaed the estate of Jeffrey Epstein to obtain certain documents, as well as the now infamous « birthday book » prepared by Ghislaine Maxwell for Epstein’s 50th birthday.
The House Oversight Committee has deepened its probe into the federal government’s investigation of the late, disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, issuing a subpoena to his estate for an array of documents.
And according to The Wall Street Journal, the book contains a mysterious message from Trump…

According to CNN, a letter from Republican Chairman James Comer to Epstein’s estate indicates that, according to several reports, the estate is in possession of the famous « birthday book ».
This book, prepared by Ghislaine Maxwell for Epstein’s birthday in January 2003, is said to contain messages from several of his close friends and family.

The committee is seeking, among other things, in this subpoena documents such as Epstein’s will, financial records and confidentiality agreements he signed.
It is also asking for any documents or records that could reasonably be interpreted as a potential list of clients involved…
Getty Images
The committee’s request comes after the Trump administration handed over the Epstein files, but several members of a bipartisan committee, eager to make the records public, say they essentially contain only documents already available and would represent only about 1% of what the government actually holds.
Part of this committee, as well as several observers, accuse the administration of withholding information, especially since we learned a few weeks ago that a campaign to black out and trace Trump’s name had been carried out by the FBI a few months ago.

The House Republican Oversight Committee seems determined to get to the bottom of the Epstein affair, despite the Trump administration’s attempts to block it. With this new subpoena, it is also setting a September 8 deadline for Epstein’s estate to hand over all documents.
According to Wired, thousands of migrant children have reportedly been entered into an FBI criminal DNA database under a policy instituted in 2020, during the Trump administration’s first term.
NEW: The US government has added the DNA of approximately 133,000 migrant children and teens to a criminal database, which critics say could mean police treat them like suspects “indefinitely.”
According to the most recent data from the first quarter of 2025, there has been a marked increase in DNA collections, bringing to over 1.5 million the number of migrants whose DNA would have been collected by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) since the program was launched.

Among them, migrant children, sometimes as young as 4 years old, have also been involved, with over 133,000 DNA samples recorded, according to estimates reported by Wired.
These data were integrated into the permanent CODIS (Combined DNA Index System) database, usually used in criminal investigations to compare DNA samples taken from crime scenes or from people convicted of serious offences.

According to Wired, of more than 133,000 young migrants under the age of 21, 230 were children under the age of 13, some as young as 4, and more than 30,000 were aged between 14 and 17, all permanently added to the criminal DNA database.
After the landmark 2023 settlement forcing Fox News to pay Dominion Voting Systems $787 million for disseminating false information about the 2020 presidential election, a similar new court case has just concluded.
The multimillion-dollar settlement came as President Donald Trump continued to make false claims about voting machine fraud.
This time, conservative TV network Newsmax is being forced to pay a hefty sum, as it is also accused of intentionally spreading false claims about Dominion’s voting machines during the same election.
Getty Images
Newsmax has agreed to pay Dominion Voting Systems $67 million in installments over three years, far less than the $1.6 billion claimed in the original complaint in 2021.
Newsmax explained that it had agreed to a settlement on the grounds that it would not have received a fair trial, while continuing to deny that its reporting had been defamatory.
Getty Images
In September 2024, the channel had already reached a similar agreement with Smartmatic for $40 million.
It’s also worth remembering that three close Trump allies have been sued for defamation by Dominion Voting Systems: Rudy Giuliani, whose proceedings have been suspended due to bankruptcy and no trial date has been set, Sidney Powell, who reached an out-of-court settlement in June 2024 for a confidential amount.

Mike Lindell, sentenced in June 2025, was forced to pay $2.3 million.
While France has launched a criminal investigation into billionaire Elon Musk’s social network X, Musk is denouncing a political plot via the platform’s official accounts.
French authorities have launched a politically-motivated criminal investigation into X over the alleged manipulation of its algorithm and alleged “fraudulent data extraction.” X categorically denies these allegations.
This investigation, instigated by French politician Eric…
— Global Government Affairs (@GlobalAffairs) July 21, 2025
The Global Government Affairs account, managed by X, claims that the proceedings are entirely politically motivated and rejects the request for access to the platform’s algorithm.
Getty Images
Musk’s app claims in its statement that such a request threatens its users’ rights to privacy and freedom of expression.
For their part, the French authorities justify their investigation with suspicions of manipulation of X’s algorithm for the purposes of « foreign interference », in alleged violation of French law.
Getty Images
Prosecutors opened the investigation to determine whether X had broken the law by modifying its algorithms and fraudulently collecting data from its French users.
X accuses the French experts involved in the investigation of having, in the past, run campaigns encouraging users to leave the platform, such as « HelloQuitteX » or « Escape X ».

Elon Musk’s company says this raises serious concerns about the impartiality, fairness and political motivations of the proceedings.
Revelations are multiplying by the day, including the claim that Donald Trump was informed as early as May that his name appeared numerous times in documents linked to Epstein.
Getty Images
A fact that both he and his administration had emphatically denied for several weeks.
With the House committee approving a subpoena targeting the Justice Department and Ghislaine Maxwell, the pressure to go public continues to mount.
Getty Images
This quest for transparency is fueling interest around this hot-button issue.
A subcommittee is now seeking to subpoena former FBI directors James Comey and Robert Mueller, as well as Bill and Hillary Clinton.
Getty Images
In addition to the Clintons, other personalities are also targeted by this request, such as Merrick Garland and William Barr. However, the President, who is at the center of the affair, has still not been called to testify, even though this scandal is far from over for him.
Bill and Hillary Clinton are scheduled to appear in court in October… so more details to come.
Le président américain souhaitait que Pékin rejoigne les États-Unis et la Russie dans des discussions trilatérales visant un désarmement nucléaire global.
La Chine a jugé cette proposition «irrationnelle et irréaliste».
Getty Images
Le porte-parole du ministère des Affaires étrangères, Guo Jiakun, a expliqué ce refus en soulignant que l’arsenal nucléaire chinois ne pouvait être comparé à ceux des États-Unis et de la Russie.
La Chine a souligné que sa stratégie de défense repose sur une doctrine de «non-emploi en premier» et qu’elle est strictement défensive.
Getty Images
Il convient de rappeler que Donald Trump veut relancer des négociations de désarmement nucléaire réunissant les États-Unis, la Russie et la Chine, jugeant crucial de freiner la prolifération atomique.
Trump a mentionné des échanges déjà entamés avec Vladimir Poutine et misait largement sur une implication de Pékin.
Dans une publication sur Truth Social en pleine nuit, le président Donald Trump a réagit furieusement à une rumeur qui le hantait visiblement à deux heures du matin, selon laquelle NBC aurait l’intention de prolonger le contrat de Seth Meyers pour continuer à animer le Late Night with Seth Meyers.
Trump loses it over ‘sick rumor’ that NBC extended ‘insecure child’ Seth Meyers’ contract — which happened last year
Trump a lancé sa publication nocturne sur son réseau social en dénonçant «une rumeur sordide» affirmant que NBC souhaiterait prolonger le contrat de Seth Meyers, qu’il présente comme l’un des animateurs de fin de soirée les moins talentueux sur le marché.
Getty Images
«Il y a une rumeur sordide qui circule selon laquelle Fake News NBC aurait prolongé le contrat de l’un des présentateurs de Late Night les moins talentueux, Seth Meyers», lance le président.
Trump continue dans son message en insultant Meyers: «Il n’a ni audience, ni talent, ni intelligence, et la personnalité d’un enfant en manque d’assurance».
Getty Images
Trump s’interroge ensuite sur les raisons qui pousseraient NBC à agir ainsi et affirme qu’il se donnera pour mission d’en trouver la réponse: «Alors, pourquoi Fake News NBC prolongerait-elle le contrat de ce crétin? Je ne sais pas, mais je vais certainement le découvrir!».
Pourtant… Seth Meyers a déjà prolongé son contrat avec NBCUniversal… en mai 2024!
Un contrat qui lui assure de rester à la tête de Late Night with Seth Meyers jusqu’en 2028, soit pendant toute la durée du second mandat de Donald Trump en tant que président.

Plusieurs observateurs ont d’ailleurs souligné ce contraste en rappelant que, plutôt que de s’emporter sur les réseaux sociaux, le président de 79 ans ferait mieux d’aller se reposer la nuit.
Dans un message virulent publié sur Truth Social, Donald Trump a déclaré que le milliardaire George Soros et son fils Alexander devraient être poursuivis en vertu de la loi RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act), destinée à réprimer les activités criminelles organisées.

Trump prétend que Soros et son fils encourageraient, selon lui, des mouvements de protestation violents à travers le pays:
«George Soros et son merveilleux fils de gauche radicale devraient être accusés de RICO en raison de leur soutien aux manifestations violentes, et bien plus encore, partout aux États-Unis d’Amérique», lance Trump.
Getty Images
Trump accuse Soros et son fils de soutenir des protestations violentes à travers les États-Unis, allégations qui, selon lui: «ont causé de grands dommages à notre pays».
Il qualifie également Soros et sa bande de «psychopathes» en faisant explicitement mention de ses amis «fous» de la côte Ouest:
«Soros et sa bande de psychopathes ont causé de graves dommages à notre pays! Cela inclut ses amis fous de la côte Ouest.»

Le président a conclu son message en les mettant en garde et en affirmant que son administration les avait à l’œil:
