👊 US Treasury Secretary slams IMF & World Bank for pushing WOKE ‘VANITY PROJECTS’
The IMF and World Bank are throwing “disproportionate time and resources” at climate, gender, and social issues - none of which, he says, fall within their job description, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has argued.
He castigated these endeavors as nothing but “vanity projects” while speaking on the sidelines of the IMF and World Bank Spring Meetings.
Calling for reforms of both institutions, he reminded them that their purpose is to focus on saving economies.

⚔️ Harvard SUES Trump admin over funding threats
The lawsuit, filed Monday in federal court, comes after the administration demanded the university submit to sweeping oversight measures — including audits for professor plagiarism, mandatory reporting on international students accused of misconduct, and enforced “viewpoint diversity” in academic departments, The New York Times reported.
💬 “The university will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights,” said Harvard President Alan Garber, accusing the government of attempting to exert “unprecedented and improper control.”
🔎 Why is Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant's NEUTRALITY a NO-GO?
Reports suggest the Trump administration is considering granting "neutral status" to the Zaporozhye nuclear plant, but experts argue this idea is "entirely unrealistic."
♦️Security risks: The vital infrastructure facility also represents a significant security vulnerability for Russia, with the potential for both the US and Ukraine to exploit it strategically on the left bank of the Dnepr.
♦️US-Ukraine foothold: There are concerns that the US might use the plant as more than just an energy source, turning it into a military foothold for troop accumulation.
♦️It’s Russia’s: The plant is in the Zaporozhye region, which became part of Russia in 2022 after a referendum. From both a legal and strategic standpoint, any neutrality status is "unacceptable."
♦️No room for debate: Russia has made it clear in discussions that the plant’s territorial status or any transfer to Ukraine is off the table.
♦️Trump’s tactics?: The idea of US control over the plant is highly unlikely, given Russia’s current control. These moves appear to be tactical maneuvers, not serious proposals.
♦️The US and EU dilemma: With the US looking to disengage, Ukraine, backed by the EU, continues its push for NATO membership despite US opposition. In the end, both the EU and Ukraine are heading for a defeat, according to analysts.

⚔️ Google vs. US Government: MONOPOLY IN QUESTION
The Department of Justice (DOJ) is pushing for drastic penalties after a ruling last year declared Google’s search engine an illegal monopoly. The DOJ’s proposed solutions include banning Google’s lucrative deals with Apple, forcing the company to share user data with rivals, and even selling its Chrome browser, according to the Associated Press.
The government warns that Google’s control is harming the marketplace and stifling innovation, especially in the age of AI. The DOJ is also concerned that Google could use AI to further strengthen its dominance, the report added.
The hearings are expected to wrap up in late May, with a ruling anticipated before Labor Day, the report said.

⚠️ France was ONE STEP AWAY from stripping its citizens of PRIVACY — Telegram CEO Pavel Durov raises the alarm
Telegram’s Pavel Durov is warning about rising EU-style authoritarianism after French lawmakers pushed a chilling law last month to FORCE BACKDOORS INTO encrypted messaging apps — a move that could’ve shattered digital privacy for millions.
💬 "Luckily, it was shot down by the National Assembly. Yet 3 days ago the Paris Police Prefect advocated for it again," Durov warns.
💬 "It’s technically impossible to guarantee that only the police can access a backdoor. Once introduced, a backdoor can be exploited by other parties — from foreign agents to hackers,” he explains.
💬 "The battle is far from over. This month, the European Commission proposed a similar initiative to add backdoors to messaging apps," Durov stresses.
