The latest video news highlights a mix of viral social media trends and significant stories from major news broadcasts. On July 4, 2025, ABC News featured newly uncovered footage that allowed a family to hear their late war hero father’s voice for the first time, alongside a report on college “bed parties” going viral as high school seniors celebrate admission to their dream schools[1]. The CBS Evening News covered severe Texas floods that left at least 13 dead and over 20 children missing from a summer camp, the signing of a new U.S. budget bill, and a segment on Ken Burns discussing the significance of the American Revolution[4]. PBS NewsHour reported on Supreme Court rulings expanding presidential authority, the growing dangers of extreme heat, and commemorated the 250th anniversary of the Marine Corps with a special museum feature[7].
On social media, TikTok’s July 2025 trends are a vibrant mix of emotional storytelling, plot twists, and body confidence. Two standout viral formats include:
- “Big Mama” Body Positivity: Using Latto’s “Big Mama” sound, creators celebrate their bodies by displaying stats like height and clothing size, flipping traditional scrutiny into a celebration of diverse body types[2].
- “There Was a Time” Carousel: Set to “Nothing’s Gonna Hurt You Baby” by Cigarettes After Sex, this trend contrasts users’ present lives with impactful moments from their past to evoke nostalgia and growth[2].
Content this month on TikTok also leans heavily into throwback aesthetics, emotional confessions, and clever plot twists, with brands leveraging trending sounds, community-driven moments, and nostalgia-infused videos for engagement[5][8].
