Trump Faces Backlash; Epstein Scandal Widens

Anti-system voters, particularly young Republicans, expressed growing outrage in February 2026 over the Epstein files saga, according to Vox. The controversy surrounding the deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein has seemingly cemented itself as a lasting issue.

The New Mexico House of Representatives unanimously approved a bipartisan truth commission to investigate Epstein's Zorro Ranch, where he allegedly trafficked and sexually assaulted women, as reported by Al Jazeera. The commission, spurred by the release of previously unpublicized files, will gather testimonies and issue reports to uncover the full extent of the crimes and ensure safeguards are in place.

Meanwhile, other international issues continued to unfold. According to Variety, Australia refused to repatriate citizens with ISIS ties, a fuel crisis worsened in Cuba due to U.S. policies, and the U.S. deported migrants to Cameroon, sparking legal and humanitarian concerns. The Royal Mail faced accusations of delaying deliveries, and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) won a landslide election.

In other news, NPR reported on the Trump administration's foreign policy approach to Iran, Ukraine, and Gaza, as analyzed by Kori Schake. Additionally, The Guardian detailed the foiling of a plot by two ISIS terrorists, Walid Saadaoui and Amar Hussein, to massacre the Jewish community in Manchester, UK. An undercover police officer posing as an ISIS supporter thwarted the plot, leading to the terrorists' life imprisonment and Saadaoui's brother's sentencing for failing to disclose information.
