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.

Key Takeaway

Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jack Reed have fired off a letter urging a federal probe into World Liberty Financial, the Trump family's crypto project, over alleged sales to North Korean hackers and sanctioned entities.

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.

Key Takeaway

After witnessing settler violence in the West Bank, Archbishop Stephen Cottrell has accused Israel of genocidal acts in Gaza and apartheid in the occupied territories.

Unveiled in Ottawa on December 12, 2024, the $7.5 million Memorial to the Victims of Communism honors those who suffered under communist rule and celebrates Canada as a refuge. Historians in 2023 flagged over 330 of the proposed names for potential Nazi collaborations, unverifiable details, or lack of Canadian ties, including figures like Roman Shukhevych and Janis Niedra. The wall will now display thematic content, such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, to focus on broader history without individual listings. The change highlights the tangled histories of Eastern European anti-communist fighters.

Key Takeaway

The memorial's planned Wall of Remembrance aimed to honor 553 individuals who fled communist regimes. But concerns over Nazi and fascist links among many names led officials to scrap the idea entirely.

The post quickly drew over 1,700 replies and 38,000 views, with most Christians responding bluntly no, rooted in their faith in Jesus as divine and rejections of Islam's view of him as a prophet. A few noted admiration for Muslims' daily prayer discipline, conservative family values, and devotion, like one Catholic pilot who said Christendom could learn from five daily prayers. Jewish replies were fewer but similar, criticizing political aspects, while Dr. Moyi engaged by defending Islam's mercy and monotheism amid warnings from some to avoid the discussion.

Key Takeaway

On December 23, Dr. Moyi shared a striking nighttime photo of Mecca's Kaaba and posed a direct question to Christians and Jews: Is there anything in Islam you respect enough to pause and reconsider your beliefs?

United sit sixth in the Premier League table midway through December, a step up from last season's eighth under Erik ten Hag, yet fans demand more after blowing multiple leads at home. Amorim, who joined in November 2024 after winning titles at Sporting Lisbon, faces criticism for a 30-40% win rate, defensive issues, and a 3-4-3 system that hasn't gelled amid injuries. Calls grow for Flamengo's Filipe Luís as replacement, praised for his trophy haul since September 2024, while some defend the progress and Bruno Fernandes' team-leading 5 goals and 7 assists. With a busy holiday schedule ahead, Amorim must deliver wins to ease the pressure.

Key Takeaway

Old Trafford saw leads vanish in a chaotic 4-4 thriller against Bournemouth on December 15. Manchester United supporters aired their frustrations with manager Ruben Amorim loud and clear.
