Trump is sending ships in June to remove over 900 deep-sea instruments from the Atlantic and Pacific, dismantling a $368 million monitoring network built over a decade that was meant to last 25 years. It will be dismantled in just 15 months.

BREAKING: HELL YES! Albania strikes a crushing blow against Jared Kushner's corrupt private island development by FREEZING the bank accounts of a major company tied to the project.

And it gets even better...

According to Albanian reporter Lindita Cela, the nation's anti-corruption prosecutors have frozen the accounts of a landholding company involved in Kushner's $4 billion luxury resort plans.

The move comes as massive protests sweep the country, with local residents incensed at the idea of Ivanka and Jared gobbling up coveted real estate to create a vacation spot for the Epstein Class. The slogan “Albania Is Not for Sale" has been spreading like wildfire and clashes between police and protestors are increasing in intensity.

The asset seizure was ordered by the Special Prosecution Against Corruption and Organized Crime and is part of a broader investigation into possibly fraudulent property titles.

Suspiciously, the company in question is owned by Qatari oligarchs Moutaz and Ramez Al-Khayyat. Kushner's ties to dirty Gulf money are well-established. They blossomed during his time in the first Trump administration, where he twisted American foreign policy to benefit specific actors in the region in return for massive investments and business advantages. This deal is rotten all the way to the core.

The Al-Khayyats have snatched up property along a protected stretch of coastline of the Adriatic Sea and it's here and on a nearby island that Kushner intends on erecting his resort for the top 1% of the top 1%. Given what we know about the Trump family, it's safe to presume that the development will serve as a paradise for pedophiles, war criminals, and human traffickers.

But this time, Jared bit off more than he can chew. Albanians are a proud, defiant people. They've survived centuries of larger regional powers seeking to divide their land, rewrite their history, and erase their culture. They're not going to let one greedy businessman defeat them now.

We stand with Albania!

Kushner out! Ivanka out!

Do you stand with the Albanian people?

Please ❤️ and share to demand more investigations into Kushner!

JUST IN: ALBANIANS CALL FOR PM EDI RAMA TO RESIGN AFTER STRIKING DEAL WITH JARED KUSHNER FOR PROTECTED COASTLINE

“Albania is not for sale. Albania belongs to the Albanian people, and we decide what we want to do here.

It's not that some corrupted politicians can decide what they can do with our property.

He's trying to trade our country as a personal property of him and his family and his collaborators.

We want him to resign.”

Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.

Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.

All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

Pete Hegseth has never been fit to run the Pentagon. This week proves it again.

He just blocked nine Navy officers from promotions they earned. A board of senior admirals picked them on merit.

Three are women.

Two are Black men.

The result is a 22-person admiral list with zero women, in a Navy that’s 21% women and 38% sailors of color.

Pentagon rules are clear. A Secretary can only pull an officer for serious failings of character, conduct, or competence. These officers had none. Their crime?
Attending a diversity event years ago. One was flagged for recruitment outreach she did TWENTY YEARS AGO.

Nearly 60% of the senior officers Hegseth has fired are women or Black.

He purged a chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

He pushed out the first woman ever to lead the Navy.

And he won’t explain himself. Not to Democrats. Not even to Republicans.
Then he reportedly tried to muscle his own aide onto the list. A guy who didn’t even qualify.

So let’s be honest about what this is.

He isn’t raising the bar. He’s rigging it.

He isn’t picking the best. He’s picking his own. Every officer who serves with honor now has to wonder if merit even matters anymore.

This man should never have been confirmed. He should not be Secretary of anything. He is gutting the finest military on earth to fight a culture war. Our service members will pay for it. So will our security.

He should resign in disgrace. https://t.co/PMUJ3UtrCW

Astounded judges force Pete Hegseth's lawyer to concede that Senator Mark Kelly NEVER SAID 'disobey lawful orders.'
"He says you have a duty to disobey unlawful orders, right? That is something that is taught at Annapolis to every cadet, right?" the judge asked.

Ramon Menera is a U.S. citizen. Federal agents detained him outside his own home, in front of his child, after citing his accent and demanding ID.

https://t.co/du9bv2U4pY explains: Accent is not evidence. Citizens do not have to carry citizenship papers. Minnesota is not a “show me your papers” state.

This was not public safety. This was racist profiling.

🚨 The U.S.-Iran ceasefire appears to have ended.

Iran’s official state broadcaster IRIB reports Iranian forces fired cruise missiles, rockets, and combat drones at U.S. naval vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.

This escalation comes just days after President Trump claimed “great progress” toward a deal and stated an agreement with Iran was “very possible.”

It appears he was just trying to manipulate the oil prices.

[OSINTdefender @sentdefender]

According to the Washington Post, citing people with knowledge on the matter, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) delivered a confidential assessment to administration officials with the key judgment that Iran can weather the U.S. blockade for at least three to four months. Additionally, the assessment reportedly says that Iran still retains significant ballistic missile stockpiles despite U.S.-Israeli strikes on underground facilities. Per the report, and tracking with past reporting on the subject, “75 percent of its prewar inventories of mobile launchers and about 70 percent of its prewar stockpiles of missiles.”

@JonLemire Note that it is, in itself, a war crime to threaten a war crime to obtain anything. The 1949 Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols, along with customary international law, establish that coerced agreements are void and the threat itself may be a crime.

The White House wonders why Europe won’t rally behind America in Iran. Maybe start by asking why your Vice President is flying to Budapest to have a warm chat with Viktor Orban, the man running a Russian influence operation from inside NATO’s borders.

While Europe has been bleeding money and weapons to stop Russian aggression, Hungary has been blocking NATO decisions, sheltering Russian intelligence, and doing Moscow’s diplomatic dirty work at every turn. Orban isn’t America’s friend. He’s Putin’s man in Brussels.

And JD Vance calls him a “good friend.”
Europe is supposed to line up behind a war that had no plan for day two, no strategy for the Strait of Hormuz, and no consultation with allies beyond Israel. A war that has already sent oil past $100 a barrel and left one of America’s most powerful warships reportedly retreating toward the Indian Ocean.

You don’t get to lecture Europe about loyalty while embracing the man working to destroy the alliance from within, and then demand backup for a war you started without asking anyone.

No serious nation in the history of warfare has spent fourteen months insulting its allies, siding with their common enemy, and then knocked on their door expecting them to rescue a catastrophe of its own making.

You abused the UK. Threatened Canada. Tried to grab Greenland. Called the EU an adversary. Praised Putin. Hosted Kremlin officials in the Capitol. Abandoned Ukraine. And did all of it loudly, proudly, and on camera.

And now you are surprised that nobody is returning your calls.
You want European boots on the ground? Start by explaining why America is more aligned with Moscow than with Brussels.
Take your time. We will wait.
