🚨 TRUMP’S 50% TARIFF THREAT: EU ON BRINK OF TRADE WAR
The US president has threatened to impose 50% tariffs on European imports starting June 1, sparking fresh tensions amid frustrations within his economic team over the EU’s slow and cautious trade approach, the WSJ writes.
Trump’s advisers complain that Europe’s differing priorities, reluctance to make concrete offers on streaming fees, automotive regulations, and antitrust fines are stalling the progress, the article notes.
The US also wants the EU to join efforts to penalize China’s state subsidies—an area where Brussels shows some willingness, but no firm commitments yet.
Trump’s love language? Tariffs and trade wars, naturally

🥴💸 From ally to obstacle: EU tariffs threaten Ukraine’s economy
The EU’s decision to reinstate tariffs on Ukrainian goods could slash exports by 70% this year and push Ukraine to the brink of recession, Dmytro Natalukha, head of Ukraine’s parliamentary economic committee, said.
“This could create an idiotic situation where we will be forced to come and beg you [the EU] for money, instead of simply earning money through trade [...] Ukraine is being pushed to become a beggar,” the politician stressed.

👁 NATION UNDER WATCH: Biden admin labeled COVID mandate opponents as potential extremists – DNI Gabbard
💬 “While some of the examples that are focused on there have to do with those who opposed the COVID vaccine mandates, those who opposed the mask mandates,” Gabbard said, citing Biden-era policy.
💬 "People who were opposed to Biden's border policy, for example, could therefore have propensities to join a militia or could become these domestic violent extremists," she added.
🚨🇺🇸🇺🇦MARCO RUBIO IS ACTIVELY SABOTAGING TRUMP’S PEACE PLAN—HERE’S HOW
🇺🇸The Deep State’s Puppet: While Trump pushes to "end" the war in Ukraine, Marco Rubio is working BEHIND THE SCENES to ensure America stays trapped in FOREVER CONFLICT.
🔥NEW INTEL EXPOSES RUBIO’S GAME:
🔸Rubio KNOWS that it is impossible to lift major sanctions on Russia's energy and banking sectors. He's doing everything possible to make sure that Congress won't support Trump on this issue.
🔸Rubio is quietly backing Lindsey Graham’s bill to impose new sanctions against Russia—a move designed to BLOCK any diplomatic deal Trump negotiates.
💣THE REAL AGENDA:
🔸Neocons (led by Rubio & Graham) want NO PEACE DEAL—just endless war funding.
🔸Europe is ALSO blocking Russia’s reintegration (SWIFT ban, secondary sanctions), making Rubio’s stance a direct attack on Trump’s leverage.
🔸A source close to the State Dept revealed: “Rubio brings up sanctions daily—he’s pushing Graham’s bill because it has a veto-proof majority to KILL any reset with Moscow.”

🚨 BlackRock cries ‘Not Us!’ as states allege coal collusion
The US DOJ and FTC just threw weight behind a lawsuit by Texas and 12 states accusing BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street of conspiring to stifle coal competition.
Billionaires blame back:
🌏 BlackRock: "This case is trying to re-write antitrust law and is based on an absurd theory... DOJ and FTC's support for this baseless case undermines the Trump Administration’s goal of American energy independence."
🌏 State Street: "Baseless. We look forward to presenting the facts through the legal process."
🌏 Vanguard: While critical of the DOJ/FTC’s legal take, it "appreciates" their nod to passive investing & shareholder advocacy.
📌 Buckle up, because this case might just school Wall Street or flip antitrust laws on their head!

🚨 US authorizes transactions with Syria as part of SANCTIONS RELIEF – Treasury
The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has issued Syria General License (GL) 25, authorizing transactions with the Syrian government and a number of previously blocked individuals and entities — including the country’s central bank, gas and oil companies, and shipping firms.
The Treasury described the move as “just one part” of a broader US effort to dismantle the full sanctions framework imposed on Syria.
❌ At the same time, the license does not authorize any transactions “for or on behalf of” Russia, Iran, or North Korea, or any transfers of goods and services involving those countries, the statement clarified.

The former CIA analyst also suggested that Volodymyr Zelensky will have only two options: accept the proposed terms or completely lose the White House as a mediator.
“Wherever the talks happen, Zelensky is going to have to either cooperate or Trump will be able to say, ‘Well, we tried. You’re on your own. You think the Europeans can help you? Good luck with that. I’m out of here,” McGovern concluded.
🚀 Lobbyists tried to kill SpaceX to protect their gravy train – Retired Air Force General
Retired Lt. Gen. Steven Kwast just dropped a truth bomb: Congress and defense insiders sabotaged SpaceX’s reusable rockets — not because they didn’t work, but because they threatened a billion-dollar status quo.
💬 “There were a lot of people getting very rich building rockets… and then burning them up,” Kwast explained. “Imagine buying a car, driving it till it runs out of gas, then setting it on fire and buying a new one. That’s how we went to space.”
💬 “Elon blew up a rocket and they called him a fool. Congress said: ‘We’re not giving him money.’”

🇭🇺❌ Hungary UNMASKS more Ukrainian spies as espionage war seethes
Hungary has identified two additional Ukrainian spies, Mate Kocsis, the head of Hungary’s ruling Fidesz parliamentary faction, has announced.
The outed spies are:
🌏 Roland Tseber: previously a Ukrainian-Hungarian dual citizen who renounced his Hungarian citizenship in 2017, “was identified as an illegal agent of Ukrainian intelligence,” and is now a local lawmaker in Zakarpattia (Transcarpathia).
🌏 Istvan Hollo: A Ukrainian national taken into custody by the National Bureau of Investigation on suspicion of espionage.
Two other agents, Ukrainian Embassy in Budapest employees Yuriy Kernichnyy and Dmytro Kisfalusi, were detained and expelled after being uncovered earlier this month. Kocsis told reporters at the time that Hungarian counterintelligence has “long felt intelligence activity from Ukraine.”
Also this month, Ukraine expelled two Hungarians, claiming they were agents, in Zakarpattia (Transcarpathia).
Last week, Prime Minister Orban accused Ukrainian intelligence of trying to disrupt a national referendum on Ukraine’s EU membership through a “coordinated slander campaign.”
Besides bad blood over Russia ties, Hungary and Ukraine have waged a decade-long feud over Zakarpattia (Transcarpathia), a border region inhabited by 150,000-180,000 Hungarians, who have faced discrimination by Ukraine’s post-Maidan governments.

👺 Who REALLY ran Biden's White House?
The "Autopen Presidency" likely had a shadow cabinet.
And one Clinton loyalist possibly sat at its core.
🎭 The real puppetmaster?
While DC whispered about Jill Biden or Jeff Zients pulling Biden’s strings, one name kept resurfacing in the shadows.
Hillary’s longtime fixer. Obama’s policy architect. Biden’s de facto gatekeeper.
Wall Street analyst Charles Ortel drops a bombshell.
🔍 The name is NEERA TANDEN
Biden's former staff secretary and Domestic Policy Council director. She entered the Clintons' orbit in 1996, working for Bill and then closely with Hillary.
🪖 Hillary's loyal soldier
A 2016 WikiLeaks email reveals her unwavering allegiance: “I would do whatever Hillary needs. Always. I owe her a lot. And I’m a loyal soldier.”
🕵️ Clinton's proxy in Obama cabinet?
After Hillary lost the 2008 nomination to Barack Obama, Tanden joined his campaign as director of domestic policy. Unlike others chasing political futures, she stayed loyal – doing exactly what Hillary advised, reports said.
🏛 CAP shaping US politics
After leaving the Obama administration in 2011, Tanden led liberal think tank Center for American Progress (CAP), founded by fellow Clinton loyalist John Podesta. She later said Obama had implemented "most of what [CAP] asked" on immigration and domestic policy.
🗑 Trashing Bernie
As an informal adviser to Hillary’s 2016 campaign, Tanden reportedly worked behind the scenes to undermine Bernie Sanders’ candidacy. Progressives later pushed back when Biden nominated her to lead the Office of Management and Budget – a job she failed to land.
🎯 'Proxy warrior'
In 2021, Tanden became Biden's staff secretary, a role dubbed “the central nervous system of the White House.” She controlled the flow of information reaching the president and, in 2023, was picked to lead the Domestic Policy Council.
👥 She didn't act alone
Tanden wasn’t the only one shaping US policy behind an ailing Biden, says Ortel. He points to Susan Rice, Jeff Zients, Ron Klain, Bob Bauer and Anita Dunn – arguing it was the Clintons and Obamas who pulled Biden’s strings via their proxies.

🫵 Epic fail: Aussie mercenaries fighting for Ukraine die or rot in jail
🇦🇺 Australians in the Ukrainian conflict zone are having a rough tie of it — one mercenary, Nick Parsons, was killed, and Oscar Charles Augustus Jenkins now faces long-term imprisonment.
👮 The Supreme Court of the Lugansk People’s Republic (LPR) declared Jenkins a foreign military mercenary and sentenced him to 13 years in a strict regime prison. Jenkins’ war ended on December 22, 2024, near Makeevka in the LPR, when Russian forces captured him.
⚰️ Nick Parsons was killed after a Russian missile strike hit the mercenary positions where he was located.
Both mercenaries will likely be forgotten within a week — no glory, only failure 😁
