#Iran officials say their forces will stop their attacks, as long as the US maintains the 'pause' put in place by #Trump after 13 consecutive days of attacks on Iranian targets, which included civilian infrastructure (which is a violation of International Law) https://www.ksl.com/article/51602288/iran-will-halt-attacks-as-long-as-us-maintains-pause-iranian-source-says-after-trump-calls-off-strikes
So apparently #Trump has halted the bombing campaign on #Iran again, and Iran has responded by immediately ceasing attacks, leading to an effective #ceasefire without any negotiations. I find it darkly amusing how straightforward this whole situation is, and how clear it makes it that this is all unnecessary: literally all he has to do is stop attacking them. The only reason the #WarOnIran isn't over yet is because he got into it in the first place and now he needs to be able to claim he "won" something.
It's exactly the same as #Putin's situation in #Ukraine: a stupid despot has dragged #Russia into a stupid #war of imperialism, and it literally can only end when he stops attacking, but #politics mean that he desperately needs to have some sort of "win".

Cartoon of the Smithsonian Museum in DC with a yellow sign outside that says "SMITHSONIAN WARNING: DISPLAYS AHEAD WILL INCLUDE FACTS THAT MAY TRIGGER ORANGE OLD MEN WITH SMALL HANDS." An older white couple is looking apprehensively at the sign and the woman says "Well, that's oddly specific." This references the fact that the Smithsonian includes exhibits showing injustice in US history; Trump wants them removed but instead had to settle for the fashy DC Park Service putting out signs accusing the Smithsonian of lying.

A year ago, I was taken aback by the publication, on a digital platform, of a letter from President Donald #Trump imposing a 50% #tariff on Brazilian goods. Its very first paragraph referred to former president #JairBolsonaro — who was #convicted last year for attempting a #coup d’état in #Brazil & is now under house arrest — making the political motivation behind the measure explicit.

In my conversations with President #Trump since then, I have stressed that we do not need to share the same worldview to pursue a mutually beneficial relationship between our countries. After all, we lead the two largest #democracies & economies in the #Americas.

Negotiations between us, together with rulings by the #US #SupremeCourt, dismantled the initial version of the sweeping #tariff measures. Yet this month, disregarding dozens of meetings between our teams, solid technical arguments & documents I personally handed to #Trump, the US government imposed new #tariffs on #Brazil ranging from 12.5% to 37.5%.
#Lula #law #InternationalLaw #sovereignty #trade #economy #ElectionInterference #coup #Jan6 #BigLie #JairBolsonaro
As a result, Global Trade Alert, an independent organization based in Switzerland, estimates that #Brazil & #Turkey are now the second most heavily tariffed countries by the #UnitedStates, behind only #China. This is despite the #US surplus with Brazil in bilateral trade in goods & services, which has totaled $428 billion over 15 consecutive years.

Besides being unfair, the new #tariffs are a strategic mistake: They will harm the #US #economy & the US partnership with #Brazil. Several US industrial sectors depend on Brazilian inputs.

In the medium term, these #tariffs will disrupt #SupplyChains that are currently deeply integrated, & Brazilian companies will replace their US suppliers with partners elsewhere.
…Dividing the world into #SpheresOfInfluence & pursuing #neocolonial ventures for strategic resources are anachronistic gestures & steps backward.
Despite the #US’ long history of political & military interventions in #LatinAmerica & the #Caribbean, there have been moments when Washington proved capable of being a partner worthy of our development interests.

“This is not the language of sober counterterrorism. It is the language of an imperial order that can no longer tolerate the exposure of its own violence. American exceptionalism has always required the conversion of resistance into existential threat. What is new is the explicit internationalization of that conversion under the banner of ‘far-left terrorism,’ with Palestinian solidarity placed at the center of the net—and with Israel’s foreign minister actively promoting the ‘operational alliance’ thesis that equates solidarity with terrorism”

#Hormone treatment for #troops with low testosterone will be voluntary.
“Our most decisive tactical advantage will always be the individual warfighter,” Hegseth said in a video from his #Pentagon office. “We have a sacred duty to maintain that advantage.”
The goal, #Hegseth said in a social media message accompanying the video, was a “High-T Department of War,” Hegseth’s preferred name for the #Defense Department.
Hegseth’s focus on #testosterone levels at a moment when #US forces are ramping up attacks in #Iran is “unorthodox” [inexplicable]. Defense secretaries typically focus on larger strategic questions, involving #alliances, #war & #weapons production.

Where is the $13bn collected by the USA from sales of Venezuelan oil?
One thing we can be sure of, its not all (or even that much) found its way back to Venezuela after the US 'custodial' role in handling the income from oil exports.
If you think the US may be earning interest on that money, you might be right (not least as the Tangerine Tyrant has alluded to such income); if you think this sounds like theft, many might agree: the US is involved in organised crime!

Trump sued the broadcaster for $10 billion last December, alleging that it had “maliciously” edited footage from his speech on January 6, 2021 to make it appear as if he had called for violence before some of his supporters stormed the Capitol. The broadcaster apologised for the content in its Panorama programme but denied defamation. A trial has been scheduled to take place in February 2027 in Miami, where the lawsuit was filed. On Tuesday, Magistrate Judge Enjoliqué Lett ruled that Trump’s businesses were relevant to the case and he must hand over records. “All of President Trump’s brand, properties and businesses are impugned or said to have been impugned,” she said, according to Politico. “Reputational, economic damages, all of that is now at issue in this case.”

Trump sued the broadcaster for $10 billion last December, alleging that it had “maliciously” edited footage from his speech on January 6, 2021 to make it appear as if he had called for violence before some of his supporters stormed the Capitol.
The broadcaster apologised for the content in its Panorama programme but denied defamation. A trial has been scheduled to take place in February 2027 in Miami, where the lawsuit was filed.
On Tuesday, Magistrate Judge Enjoliqué Lett ruled that Trump’s businesses were relevant to the case and he must hand over records.
“All of President Trump’s brand, properties and businesses are impugned or said to have been impugned,” she said, according to Politico. “Reputational, economic damages, all of that is now at issue in this case.”

A recent Pew research study of trust in international relations reveals that, with some exceptions, most countries' populations (and this includes the UK) trust China more than they trust the USA under the leadership of the Tangerine Tyrant... and while some countries neighbouring China (Japan, South Korea, India & the Philippines) prefer the US, greater trust in China is much more widespread....
Yet more evidence of the slow but sure eastwards political pivot.

“The #Trump admin has killed proposed regulations for sewage sludge contaminated with #Pfas and spread on farmland as fertilizer.
The practice that has sickened farmers, destroyed their livelihoods, killed livestock, polluted water supplies, and poisoned meat and food products sold to the public.
The proposed regulations would largely have ended the use of sludge, also called #biosolids, in the nation’s food system.

As I have written many times, it has long been quite obvious that #Trump and #MAGA are genuinely fascinated by #Putin’s ‘decisiveness’.
The main problem is that Putin very deliberately makes strategic mistakes, simply because he can.
The second problem – for Trump – is that Putin spent 20 years building his system, dismantling the courts, the free media, parliamentary democracy and the federal structure of the Russian Federation – whereas Trump would like to achieve all this in just a few years, in a completely different society.

"Wife of US heir and activist donor on fighting his extradition to US: ‘It’s incredible that this can happen’
Stella Schnabel says Trump administration is falsely accusing James ‘Fergie’ Chambers of contributing to Hamas
Although her husband, James “Fergie” Chambers, had been locked up in Spain for nearly a week, Stella Schnabel didn’t break down and cry until Thursday, when she finally got to speak to him for several minutes – enough time, she said, “for us to say we love each other and for him to say: ‘Tell the kids I love them.’”
Spanish authorities, operating on a US extradition request, arrested the 41-year-old Chambers, a US citizen and wealthy donor to leftwing and humanitarian projects worldwide, last Friday in Ibiza. He has been transferred to a prison in Madrid. The Trump administration’s Department of Justice is seeking his extradition for alleged financial support of Hamas, according to a spokesperson for the Spanish high court."

The court has two weeks to decide on Chambers’s appeal seeking bail, and 40 days to decide on the US extradition request. If the court denies the extradition, the case closes. If it grants the extradition, the council of ministers has the final decision, according to the spokesperson. The indictment against Chambers is sealed.
This is the first known case of the US seeking extradition of a citizen over alleged support for Hamas, veteran attorney Stanley Cohen told the Guardian earlier this week.
It is unfolding as Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, convened 66 countries this week – including Spain – as part of a broader effort to discredit leftwing activity as terrorism. One of Chambers’s attorneys, Josep Riba, said in a statement that Spain’s participation in the conference “has raised his family’s concern that Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez – otherwise renowned for standing up to President Donald Trump and voicing his solidarity with Palestinians – may comply with the US’s politically motivated attack”.
Alt...
Schnabel, an actor and daughter of painter and filmmaker Julian Schnabel, said she had been in shock and hardly slept until she heard Chambers’s voice Thursday. She still hadn’t seen him. “It’s been very stressful,” she said.
She described how the two had been on family vacation last week, accompanied by their five-year-old son and other family members. Chambers also has three teenaged children from a previous relationship.
The couple had been considering a move to Ibiza, and were driving along a dirt road on the Spanish island on their way to visit a potential school for their son last Friday. Suddenly, seven police officers in several cars cut them off, she said. “I said to Fergie: ‘You know what’s happening, right?’” she said. The officers told her she couldn’t film them with her phone and handcuffed Chambers. The arrest took less than five minutes, she said.
Alt...
Chambers has said that he has known since 2015 that he was on the US federal government’s radar, due to activism against police in Atlanta. A self-described communist and anti-imperialist, he is heir to one of the richest families in the US, the owners of Atlanta-based Cox Communications. He sold stock back to his family worth about $250m in mid-2023 and since then has been funding an estimated 100 projects in 20 countries, Schnabel said.
She said that includes, in Gaza, a $250,000 donation to the Sameer Project, which helped fund a bakery producing thousands of loaves of free bread daily during Israel’s ongoing siege on the territory. It also included support for a free medical clinic, also in Gaza, and a $100,000 grant to the Zaynab Project, which provides mental health support to orphaned children, Schnabel said.
She said Chambers also paid for the legal fees of some members of the group formerly known as Palestine Action in the US – a group proscribed in the UK as a “terrorist organization”.
Alt...
Chambers has been the subject of numerous profiles in US media, due to his beliefs, his activism and how he uses his wealth.
Now, Schnabel said, the US is accusing Chambers of laundering $7.5m wired several years ago from an American bank account to Tunisia, where the couple lived at the time, and somehow using the money to support Hamas. She has seen part of the indictment and said the US government does not clearly state how Chambers did what he is accused of – and that those funds went to purchase the popular football club Club Africain, and to pay off debt and past-due salaries as well as rebuilding a training center and building youth football fields.
The club, which she said “makes millions of people happy”, went on to win the Tunisian football league in May.
On Thursday, one of the attorneys defending Chambers told Schnabel that several Tunisians in prison in Madrid recognized the American and voiced their support. “He’s a national hero there,” Schnabel said.

Il Fatto Quotidiano: Trump fa l’intenditore di calcio, ma l’analisi è banale: “Messi è stato geniale. Si è spostato a destra, non so se ve ne siete accorti”
“Ho visto quel passaggio fatto da Messi, geniale“. Donald Trump esalta Leo Messi, discute di tattiche calcistiche e “svela” implicitamente – qualora ce ne fosse bisogno – per chi farà il tifo in finale. Il presidente degli Stati Uniti, nell’evento Fifa organizzato a New York prima della finale dei Mondiali 2026, si è infatti soffermato sullo show che Leo Messi ha offerto nella semifinale vinta 2-1 dall’Argentina contro l’Inghilterra. In particolare, Trump è rimasto impressionato dall’assist che il numero 10 ha fornito a Lautaro per il gol del 2-1.
L’analisi è banalissima: “Non ne so quanto le persone presenti in questa sala, ma di sport me ne intendo e qualcosa di calcio la capisco. Guardavo Messi. È stato marcato bene, no? Poi all’improvviso si è spostato a destra. Non so se qualcun altro se ne sia accorto, ma io l’ho notato“, dice Trump ripensando all’azione che ha deciso il match. Il tycoon ha banalmente descritto ciò che Messi fa da oltre 20 anni: dribblare gli avversari, anche accettando di andare sul piede debole quando non gli lasciano il sinistro. “Nessuno ne ha parlato. Io l’ho visto e ho pensato: è sempre marcato bene da un grande giocatore. Poi si è spostato verso destra e l’altro giocatore dell’Inghilterra è rimasto fermo. Messi ha avuto tutto il tempo necessario, ha crossato e la palla ha avuto una traiettoria quasi perfetta: lì la partita è finita, lui stato geniale”, ha concluso Trump.
L'articolo Trump fa l’intenditore di calcio, ma l’analisi è banale: “Messi è stato geniale. Si è spostato a destra, non so se ve ne siete accorti” proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano.
Trump is pretending to be a soccer expert, but the analysis is banal: "Messi was brilliant. He moved to the right, I don't know if you noticed."
“I saw that move made by Messi, brilliant.” Donald Trump praises Leo Messi, discusses football tactics and “reveals” implicitly – if it were needed – who he will be rooting for in the final. The President of the United States, at a Fifa event organized in New York before the 2026 World Cup final, focused on the show that Leo Messi offered in the semi-final won 2-1 by Argentina against England. In particular, Trump was impressed by the assist that number 10 provided to Lautaro for the 2-1 goal.
The analysis is banal: “I don’t know how much the people present in this room know, but I understand something about sport. I was watching Messi. He was marked well, wasn't he? Then suddenly he moved to the right. I don't know if anyone else noticed, but I saw it,” says Trump reflecting on the action that decided the match. The tycoon simply described what Messi has been doing for over 20 years: dribbling opponents, even accepting to go on his weaker foot when they don’t let him use his left. “No one talked about it. I saw it and I thought: he's always well marked by a great player. Then he moved to the right and the other English player stayed still. Messi had all the time needed, he crossed, and the ball had almost perfect trajectory: that’s where the game ended, he was brilliant,” Trump concluded.
The article “Trump makes the football expert, but the analysis is banal: ‘Messi was brilliant. He moved to the right, if you didn't notice’” comes from Il Fatto Quotidiano.

#Trump said his address was about building confidence in #US #elections, but he spent his speech undermining them.
“Great damage has been done to our country,” Trump claimed. “Our elections were left vulnerable to being rigged & stolen, & the trust of the American people was lost. This cannot be allowed to continue.”
But documents released to support Trump’s claims—& previous assessments from the intelligence community—do not back up his statements. In fact, some reach the opposite conclusion.

Back in March I'd noticed how even far right characters like Nick Fuentes were focused on the need for Trump to deliver lasting harm to immigrants and that likely meant less killings in the street in exchange for more legally defensible beaurcratic processes instead.
Fuentes even connected the Iran war and ICEs legal failures as all reasons democrats are a better 2026 vote than Trump for the anti-immigration right wingers
