#Beatings. #SexualAssault. #PsychologicalAbuse. These are some of the horrors endured by the >250 men the #UnitedStates sent to #ElSalvador on flimsy evidence of gang membership, acc/to a new comprehensive report released on Wednesday by #HRW & #Cristosal, a #HumanRights group focused on #CentralAmerica.

The #Democrats caved to #Trump & the #Republicans, as #JonStewart so elegantly described.

👉🏾 Jon Stewart “Can’t F**king Believe” Democrats Caved on the Shutdown https://youtu.be/eFI6MwlLJ08

My Theory is that the #GOP are principled as in they are willing to subject the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 to pain & suffering if it means achieving their desired goal. Democrats are more pragmatic, but do not know how to negotiate with someone willing to “burn it all down” to prove a point (hint: it’s leveraging power).

These & other #threats, including #tariffs, #sanctions & the revocation of diplomats’ #US #visas, effectively killed the deal, according to the 9 American, European & developing-nation diplomats directly involved in the negotiations. They spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of #retribution from the #Trump admin.

…foreign diplomats said they were stunned by what they described as “nasty” & “very personal” threats made by #State Department officials, which were mostly aimed at leaders from poorer or small countries that are economically dependent on the #UnitedStates. Some of the delegations were summoned to the #US Embassy in London for these discussions, these people said.

#Trump Officials Accused of Mob Tactics to Kill a #Climate Measure

Nations were poised to approve the first fee on #pollution from #ships. That’s when the Trump admin began the #threats.

Among other threats from US officials, Secretary of #State #MarcoRubio personally called officials in several countries to threaten financial penalties & other punishments if they continued to support the ship pollution agreement.

Trump Officials Accused of Bullying Tactics to Kill a Climate Measure

More than 100 nations were poised last month to approve a historic deal to slash #pollution from cargo #ships. That’s when the #UnitedStates launched a pressure campaign that officials around the world have called extraordinary, even by the standards of the #Trump admin’s combativeness, according to 9 diplomats on its receiving end.

They are my favorite banking entity after credit unions (I am not a fan of most banks 🏦 in #America 🇺🇸).

🫧 Is the US #AI bubble bursting?

Meta just lost 200+ Billion $ in value, in part because they planned to spend 200+ Billion a year on AI infrastructure¹ 🤣

📉 A solid -13.79% stock price drop within a few days!

Time to #DEMETA?

#Trump admin makes *misleading* case in high-stakes #asylum hearing
#HomelandSecurity asked a judge to #deport a man to #Afghanistan, where he expects the #Taliban to kill him. What happens next could affect thousands.

To make its case, the #DHS did not accuse him of any crime or disloyalty or act of terrorism. Instead, attorneys argued that Afghanistan — a country #US forces rescued him from in 2021 — is safe for his return.

The man, whom WaPo is identifying as “H” because of concern for his safety, has sought #asylum because he so publicly supported the #UnitedStates’ cause in #Afghanistan. Before fleeing, he worked for a US-based nonprofit & attended an American university in Kabul.
To undermine his claim, government attorneys argued that the #Taliban have allowed those institutions to continue to operate—clear signs, they claimed, that his past would not endanger him if he was deported.

#US to withdraw some troops from #Romania, #NATO's eastern flank

The decision was expected given changes in Washington's priorities, but roughly 1,000 U.S. troops will continue to be stationed in Romania, the country's defense ministry said.

#Romania & #NATO #allies were notified of #US plans to cut the number of troops stationed on #Europe's eastern flank including soldiers who were to be stationed at Romania's Mihail Kogalniceanu air base, Romania's defense ministry said Wednesday.

Washington's European allies have been told previously by the admin of #Trump that they will need to take more responsibility for their own #security as the #UnitedStates focuses more on its own borders and the Indo-Pacific region.
