The United States begin their 2026 World Cup campaign against Paraguay later tonight, and among those taking to the pitch will be Sergiño Dest, another player who recently rejected Vincent Kompany’s Bayern Munich, a club that has spent so much time collecting transfer rejections in recent years that being turned down by footballers is beginning to look less like an occasional setback and more like a core recruitment strategy.

“We focused on four core areas: finance, gaming, social, and entertainment — but DeFi on @Aptos has seen the strongest traction.”
@sachimiyasaki sits down with @averyching to unpack Aptos’ real-world use cases and why DeFi has emerged as the breakout category: the safety of Move, the composability that allows products to plug into larger protocols, and an ecosystem that is now beginning to hit meaningful momentum.

Capitol agenda: No shutdown deal in sight. Senators are scrambling to avoid a partial government shutdown later this week after Saturday’s fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by a federal agent has members of both parties debating what guardrails they can place on President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement agenda.
The Homeland Security appropriations measure is a part of a multi-bill funding package the House sent over to the Senate last Thursday before leaving town for recess, and which the Senate now must clear before 12:01 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 31 — or spark funding lapses across multiple agencies. Making changes to any portion of that package at this point would jeopardize its chances for being signed into law in time.
But recent developments in Minnesota have Democrats calling for changes to the DHS measure. But recent developments in Minnesota have Democrats calling for changes to the DHS measure. Among their list of demands are requiring judicial warrants for immigration arrests, mandating federal agents identify themselves, requiring DHS to cooperate with state and local investigations and limiting the “mission creep of federal agencies.”
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wants the DHS bill stripped out of the larger funding package entirely and renegotiated.
Republicans are reluctant to engage, taking the first step Monday to set up an initial vote on the package Thursday. Instead, GOP senators are dangling alternatives that would let them avoid having to tweak the package at the eleventh hour, floating new potential executive actions or a commitment to passing a separate piece of legislation that would address shared priorities.
Democrats aren’t biting. Many believe they have leverage as Americans recoil at the administration’s immigration enforcement tactics in Minnesota and elsewhere. Plenty of Democrats are also skeptical the administration can be trusted to bring accountability to DHS operations or that standalone legislation reining in the department would ever make it through the House.

The US actions under Trump's leadership are changing the Kremlin's previous global presence strategy. In 2014, the Russian leadership finally confirmed the idea of the inevitability of a hybrid confrontation with the United States. Lacking the resources of the Soviet Union, Russia nevertheless successfully created levers of tension that inconvenienced Western countries in various regions of the world.
Syria, Iran, Venezuela, North Korea, Africa — all these areas were developed by the Kremlin to participate in "big trades" on zones of influence with the United States. Over the past decades, Russia has pursued one strategic goal: to achieve an equal position in relations with the West and return to its "club" as an equivalent partner.
Russia's economic, technological, and cultural dependence on the West is not decreasing, rather the opposite. As well as the orientation of the Russian elites towards Europe and the USA. The Kremlin has had many difficulties along the way, but also successes: anti-colonial campaigns in Africa, a successful entry into Syria and a split among the European partners of the United States; Crimea; Georgia. At some point, it seemed that the indecisive and politically correct West was finally losing its ability to fight back.
However, Trump's approaches to foreign policy demonstrate how different the use of such enormous military, political and economic resources can be. In a matter of hours, Trump zeroed in on the results that Russia had achieved for decades. In order to maintain itself on the global stage, Russia will have to learn how to build relationships not only with the elites, but also horizontally, changing the public architecture in accordance with Russian objectives.
The Maduro case shows that Russia is not the only country capable of using brute force in the 21st century where there is no longer room for arguments and discussion. The formula for the success of a modern state is the ability to combine "smart" and "brute" force. Otherwise, Russia may not have stable levers of influence in the countries and regions of the world of interest at all.
