🦅 American News 📰

Johnson Backs Trump’s Spending Bill

• After holding out for days, Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin has signaled he will support Trump’s sweeping tax and spending plan. He pushed for limits on Medicaid expansion and smaller federal debt before flipping his stance. He now warns that rejecting the bill would lead to a major tax hike, calling the package "about as good as we can get." The deal includes cuts to welfare and Medicaid changes pushed by conservatives, sparking backlash from both moderates and Democrats.

DeSantis Builds Deport Center

• Governor Ron DeSantis announced a plan to fast-track removals of illegal immigrants using a remote Everglades airstrip as a new deportation hub. He highlighted the area’s built-in security and ability to launch removal flights within minutes. As part of the proposal, Florida National Guard members would serve as judges to speed up decisions. The boldest part of the plan is designating guardsmen as immigration judges, bypassing delays in the federal system.

💸 The "Economy" 📉

Economy Slumps As Layoffs Surge

• The country is showing serious cracks as home sales collapse, job cuts spike, and companies tighten belts. Businesses like Microsoft, Paramount, and Google are all downsizing, while factories in states like California are shutting for good. Retail sales have dropped, young workers are struggling to find jobs, and inflation is driving long-term companies out of business. With housing markets plunging and layoffs mounting, it's looking more and more like another 2008.

Asia Buys While U.S. Dumps

• As Americans rush to unload gold during economic euphoria, Asia is quietly building deep reserves for the next crisis. In the U.S., retail sellers are flooding the market, forcing dealers to cut premiums and beg for storage space. Meanwhile, central banks and families across Asia are stacking gold with purpose, treating it not as a bet but as insurance. This growing split shows who’s preparing for chaos—and who’s gambling it won’t come.

 🌎 Geopolitics 🪖

Arms Treaty Nearing Total Collapse

• As the war in Ukraine grinds on and missile systems expand into orbit, talks between the world’s two nuclear giants have nearly broken down. Russia blames lingering Biden-era policies for feeding Ukraine intelligence, and Trump’s “Golden Dome” missile shield has further strained trust. Without serious change, the New START Treaty will die next February, ending decades of arms limits between the U.S. and Russia. With drones, satellites, and proxy wars multiplying, the path ahead looks more dangerous than ever.

Iran War Leaves 900 Dead

• Iran has confirmed over 900 deaths from Israeli airstrikes during their 12-day conflict, with dozens of women and children among the casualties. A major attack on Tehran’s Evin prison alone left 79 dead, including staff and visitors. Israel’s strikes targeted military and nuclear sites, while Iran responded with missile and drone attacks that killed 28 inside Israel. The toll underscores the deadly scope of the war, now paused under a ceasefire between Iran and Israel.
