This is akin to what Putin did via the GRU fronts in the Prigozhin network in the Sahel. Especially Dagalo's/Hemedti's controlled parts of southern Sudan. They took the gold out through MERO-Gold & MERO-Invest & then laundered them through the UAE. Because no one legit will touch it.

Aside from the naked imperialism here, and cash grab, he admits it’s a war. A war without UN or congressional approval. A war which Rubio denied was a war and claimed was a law enforcement action. Trump as ever undermines his own people’s claims. It was a war. An illegal imperial one.

Moreover, if we look at the techniques of totalitarian government, it is obvious that the argument of “the lesser evil”—far from being raised only from the outside by those who do not belong to the ruling elite—is one of the mechanisms built into the machinery of terror and criminality. Acceptance of lesser evils is consciously used in conditioning the government officials as well

Other news organizations should leave the White House. They can of course still cover the administration--almost none of their coverage depends on being there physically. But they shouldn't stay there, raising their hands dutifully in the briefing room, as if it's business as usual.

When no one believes a country can pay back its debts, people stop buying its bonds. And if that happens, it starts to mean the currency or money is worthless because the markets stop believing it has value. The belief that the US was a stable country meant we could basically spend what we want.

Many people don't pay attention to bond markets, but they should — especially now. This is why they matter and why the drop in bond prices is signaling investor concerns about the U.S. economy.

This is APPALLING. The Trump administration is detaining multiple random Somali immigrants with no criminal record at Guantanamo Bay, seemingly because the White House ordered ICE specifically to detain Somalis at Gitmo as part of its effort to punish an ethnic group Trump has attacked.
According to Mohamed, guards at Guantanamo have said they are being held there because that's what officials in Washington, DC, want. "There's no other nation, only Somali people in Guantanamo Bay, in the prison," he told me. "And when we ask them why we are here, they tell us... Washington...ordered to keep Somali people in the Guantanamo Bay."

In 2018, President Trump stood in the Oval Office and said that people seeking asylum should “do it the legal way” by coming here without crossing a border illegally. Now his admin is set to punish people who did exactly that; came on a visa and then applied for asylum.
Unless challenged or revised, the State Department is expected to announce in the coming weeks the revocation of so-called B1 and B2 visas issued between 2016 and 2026 whose holders have sought asylum or are now seeking asylum, according to State Department documents obtained by The Associated Press and two U.S. officials. The action will be taken in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security.
