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. The demand stems from a September report by Accountable.US alleging the project sold $WLFI governance tokens to wallets linked to North Korea's Lazarus Group, a Russian sanctions-evasion stablecoin, Iran's NoBitex exchange, and the sanctioned mixer Tornado Cash. 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.

In a Church Times interview following his recent West Bank visit, Archbishop of York Stephen Cottrell described Israeli military actions in Gaza as deliberately indiscriminate and genocidal acts, while labeling the West Bank a regime of apartheid and ethnic cleansing through settler expansion. He emphasized that his criticism targets state policies, not Judaism or Jewish people, and supports Church divestment from occupation-enabling companies. Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mirvis rebuked the remarks as irresponsible and morally inverted, planning a personal letter to Cottrell amid growing divides among UK faith leaders over the Gaza conflict now in its second year.

Posted on February 19 by a UK-based account with Canadian pride, the message hit amid Trump's 2024 win and falling U.S. favorability in Europe and Canada, per Pew polls showing low confidence in him below 25% in spots. Canadians are boycotting U.S. travel, with airlines cutting 10% of flights for early 2026, while Europeans cite U.S. arrogance and policies on Israel, Iran, and domestic issues. Americans largely shrugged it off, with replies like 'we don’t care' and reminders of U.S. economic pull, though some abroad noted Canadians' own problems and Americans' self-criticism.

Punto Clave

A simple post from a hockey fan account claimed the rest of the world hates the USA, and it quickly drew thousands of raw replies from both sides of the Atlantic.

Virginia Beach Republican Barry Knight, who chaired the House Appropriations Committee and served the 98th District for 17 years since 2009, passed away Thursday at 71 following a battle with kidney cancer diagnosed in 2024.

Tributes highlighted his warmth, like flying a helicopter for tractor advice, and his lasting legacy of integrity; his death leaves a vacancy in the solidly Republican district, prompting a special election.

Civil rights group AfriForum launched a court challenge declaring South Africa's National Health Insurance Act unconstitutional, serving summons on Wednesday to President Cyril Ramaphosa, Health Minister Dr. Aaron Motsoaledi, the finance minister, and the National Assembly speaker. They held their press conference at the derelict Kempton Park Hospital—closed since 1996 and costing millions to guard yearly—as a symbol of potential state-run failures. AfriForum argues the Act, signed in May 2024 to pool funds for universal coverage, violates rights by limiting patient choice, doctor independence, provincial powers, and lacks funding viability at 10% of GDP amid fiscal strains.

Outside a graffiti-covered abandoned hospital, AfriForum served court summons on President Ramaphosa and top officials, warning of a healthcare future gone wrong.
