In a letter to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Attorney General Pam Bondi dated Tuesday, Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jack Reed requested an investigation by December 1 into World Liberty Financial's compliance with anti-money laundering rules, sanctions, and governance.

DT Marks DEFI LLC, controlled by Donald Trump and his family, holds 22.5 billion tokens and receives 75% of sales revenue, while the project lists Trump family members in prominent roles; World Liberty Financial maintains it has robust compliance measures with no evidence of wrongdoing.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth labeled Anthropic a national security risk, barring U.S. agencies from its Claude AI models due to the company's strict principles.

The plan aims to create jobs and social cohesion through sports amid the enclave's destruction, where over 1,000 athletes have died and hundreds of facilities lie in ruins since October 2023. Online reactions split sharply, with many calling it tone-deaf given urgent needs for hospitals and shelter for over 2 million displaced people, while supporters highlight soccer's potential to unite youth and foster peace.

House Speaker Mike Johnson labeled the boycott shameful, saying Republicans don't skip such events no matter the president's party, as it disenfranchises constituents. Critics pointed to past Republican absences, like nine GOP lawmakers missing Biden's 2022 address over COVID rules and others during Clinton's 1999 speech amid impeachment. Johnson's office dismissed the Democratic action as Trump Derangement Syndrome, while the large-scale coordinated boycott underscores growing partisan tensions in a narrowly divided Congress.

On the WeAreTheOverlap podcast, Belgium's Martínez described Amorim's 3-4-3 logic: using Fernandes' ball-carrying from deep to build possession securely from the back. The tactic divided fans during Amorim's 14-month stint, which ended January 5, 2026, after poor results like 28 points from 29 games drew heavy criticism for being too predictable. Now, under interim boss Michael Carrick—unbeaten in nine games with wins over Manchester City and Arsenal—United sit fourth and top the form table, prompting some to credit Amorim's foundations while others hail Carrick's pragmatic shifts like moving Fernandes forward.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

Roberto Martínez peeled back the curtain on why Rúben Amorim pushed Bruno Fernandes deeper in midfield, reigniting Manchester United fans' split views on the coach's bold experiment.
