๐ท๐ด The centre-left Social Democratic Party (PSD) in Romania has reportedly expressed its intenion to formally withdraw from the ruling coalition with the centre-right National Liberal Party (PNL).
A key factor is that the PSD are unwilling to support either of the two presidential candidates running in the second round of the presidential elections - the right-wing George Simion nor the liberal Nicuศor Dan.

๐ฌ Our troops' work on Ukrainian USVs๐ฌ
The footage shows the work of our servicemen in repelling the attack of unmanned surface vessels. The video demonstrates a USV with a surface-to-air missile system installed on it.
This video clearly shows how effective landing craft with machine guns are against such targets. So we have the means to counter USVs, and we also have trained specialists.

๐ท๐ผ Rwanda in Talks to Accept U.S. Deportees
The Trump administration is in early talks with Rwanda to offload deported migrants possibly making Rwanda the first African nation to take in third-country deportees from the U.S.
Rwandaโs Foreign Minister confirmed discussions are ongoing, but critics warn the deal echoes a long pattern: Rwanda has struck similar agreements with Western countries, often in exchange for financial aid or diplomatic leverage.
Rwandaโs foreign minister says talks are โongoing.โ Rights groups warn Rwanda is unsafe for asylum seekers, citing surveillance, repression, and poor infrastructure.
โข Israel signed a secret deal with Rwanda to deport African migrants to Rwanda, in 2014. Many were sent there without documentation, faced abuse, or were trafficked en route to Europe.
โข Signed a failed ยฃ715M deal with the UK (only 4 deportees went)
โข Now positions itself as a โmigration partnerโ โ for a price
This comes as Trump ramps up offshoring deportation and detention policies โ turning foreign nations into outsourced detention hubs. (El Salvador)
Rwanda has reportedly already received a U.S.-deported Iraqi refugee.

๐บ๐ธ Trumpโs New Immigration Plan: Pay Migrants to Deport Themselves.... and Offer a Way Back?
โBut what we want to do is weโre going to have a self deportation program, which we havenโt even announced yet. The only thing I havenโt determined is, what are we going to do? Weโre going to give them a stipend, weโre going to give them some money and a plane ticket, and then weโre going to work with them, if theyโre good, if we want them back in, weโre going to work with them to get them back in as quickly as we can.โ
The Trump admin will now offer $1,000 and a free flight home to undocumented immigrants who voluntarily self-deport, officials confirmed. Migrants must verify travel through the new โCBP Homeโ app to receive funds.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says this is the โsafest and most cost-effectiveโ way to avoid arrest โ but critics warn itโs building a two-tier immigration pipeline based on loyalty and opacity.

๐บ๐ธ Senate Backlash Could Stall Trumpโs Crypto
โItโs a selling of influence, a conflict of interest, just a massive form of corruption we havenโt witnessed.โ
โSen. Jeff Merkley
At the center of the uproar: World Liberty Financial, the Trump familyโs crypto firm, which just secured $2 billion in deposits from a UAE-backed venture fund.
World Libertyโs new token, USD1, functions like a bank product. It accepts deposits, issues coins, and then invests those deposits to generate yieldโprofits that go directly to the Trump family and its partners.
At a crypto conference last week, a World Liberty founder announced that an Emirati venture fund backed by Abu Dhabiโs government will use $2B in USD1 for a major transactionโeffectively funneling foreign state money into a business controlled by the U.S. presidentโs family.
Senate Democrats are now pushing to kill the GENIUS Act, a stablecoin deregulation bill that was once sailing through. They circulated memos citing NYT reporting, calling the legislation a tool for Trump to โcorruptly profit from his cryptocurrency schemes.โ
Also tonight, $1.5M-per-seat โCrypto & AI Innovators Dinnerโ (invitation above) was held Monday night at Trump National Golf Clubโhosted by David Sacks, Trumpโs AI/crypto czar. The dinner was organized by MAGA Inc., raising major funds for Trump.

๐บ๐ธ $40M+ Tent City at Guantรกnamo Quietly Dismantled After Holding Just 497 Migrants
Trumpโs DHS built a military-style camp at Gitmo to house up to 30,000 migrants.
By May? The tents were torn down. Just 32 people remain. Total detained since Feb: 497.
Thatโs $80,000+ per person.
What really happened:
โข In February, DHS chief Kristi Noem flew in for a press tour. Military drills, shackled detainees, ICE-policed airstrips the whole show.
โข The migrants, mostly Venezuelans, were flown in from El Paso. ICE claimed they were gang members yet offered no proof, charges, or identities.
โข Gitmo staff peaked at 725 (mostly military and ICE), guarding as few as 32 migrants. Thatโs 22 officers per detainee.
โข By late April, the Pentagon began tearing the tent city down. No โsurgeโ ever came. The White House stayed silent.
โข Lawmakers say the site violated detention standards, lacked legal clarity, and may have broken a federal court order barring third-country deportations without hearings.
โข Deportees were airlifted from Gitmo to Honduras, Nicaraguaโand possibly El Salvador, where some face prison under a secret U.S. deal.
โข A federal court is investigating if military flights from Guantรกnamo to El Salvador violated legal protections for deportees.

Officials have been asked to update 20-year-old contingency plans that would put the country on a war footing after threats of attack by the Kremlin.
A classified dossier will set out how the Government would respond to a declaration of war, including bunkers to protect the Cabinet and the Royal family, public service broadcasts and the stockpiling of resources.

๐บ๐ธ Trump Got Jealous of Russia's Victory Day and Celebrations
Trump wants to declare two new โVictory Daysโ for WWI and WWII, one on Nov 11 (already Veterans Day) and one on May 8, mimicking Europeโs VE Day. Don't forget! He also wants his big military parade.
Feels more like an insecure attempt to claim credit for victories the U.S. barely contributed to.

"The Ascent", 1977
Set in the brutal winter of Nazi-occupied Belarus, The Ascent follows two Soviet partisans on a desperate mission for food who are ultimately captured by the Germans. What begins as a war survival story unfolds into a powerful moral and spiritual confrontation.
Larisa Shepitkoโs final masterpiece is less about war than about the human soul. Shot in black and white, with hauntingly stark landscapes and raw close-ups, The Ascent blends physical suffering with metaphysical themes. The story draws clear parallels to religious martyrdom, echoing the Gospels in both imagery and tone.
The production itself was grueling. Filmed in freezing conditions with real snow and bitter cold, the actors endured true hardship to bring authenticity to the screen. Shepitko was known for her intensity and demanded total emotional commitment โ something evident in every frame. Her sudden death in a car accident two years later only cemented the filmโs reputation as a transcendent final statement.
