MIL-OSI Russia: Mongolia: Staff Concluding Statement of the 2025 Article IV Mission

Source: IMF – News in Russian

June 27, 2025

A Concluding Statement describes the preliminary findings of IMF staff at the end of an official staff visit (or ‘mission’), in most cases to a member country. Missions are undertaken as part of regular (usually annual) consultations under Article IV of the IMF’s Articles of Agreement, in the context of a request to use IMF resources (borrow from the IMF), as part of discussions of staff monitored programs, or as part of other staff monitoring of economic developments.

The authorities have consented to the publication of this statement. The views expressed in this statement are those of the IMF staff and do not necessarily represent the views of the IMF’s Executive Board. Based on the preliminary findings of this mission, staff will prepare a report that, subject to management approval, will be presented to the IMF Executive Board for discussion and decision.

Washington, DC: An International Monetary Fund (IMF) staff mission, led by Mr. Tahsin Saadi Sedik, conducted discussions as part of the 2025 Article IV consultation with the Mongolian authorities in Ulaanbaatar during June 4–18, 2025. At the end of the visit, the mission issued the following statement, summarizing its key findings and recommendations.

During 2023‒24, record-high coal exports and increased government spending led to buoyant economic activity, which, along with fiscal surpluses and successful debt rollovers, also helped reduce vulnerabilities.
The resource boom is weakening amid rising risks. With coal exports declining in recent months, mainly due to falling prices, and increased global uncertainty, the near-term outlook has become less favorable, and downside risks have increased amid limited policy buffers.
The policy priority is to increase resilience of the Mongolian economy to downside risks by restoring both internal and external balances, and by preserving buffers. This requires greater fiscal prudence and adherence to fiscal rules, tight monetary and macroprudential policies, and increased exchange rate flexibility.
Should downside risks materialize, significant and timely policy adjustments—particularly fiscal tightening—will be required to safeguard macroeconomic and financial stability.

Recent economic developments, outlook, and risks

Since the 2023 Article IV consultation, Mongolia’s macroeconomic conditions have improved. A resource-driven boom during 2023‒24 led to buoyant economic activity, despite a sharp contraction in the agriculture sector. Budget revenues from the mining sector more than doubled, enabling fiscal surpluses and contributing to the accumulation of foreign exchange reserves and savings in the sovereign wealth fund despite a significant increase in public spending, which together with debt repayments helped reduce debt-to-GDP ratio from 64.5 percent in 2022 to 44.5 percent in 2024 (IMF staff definition). Rating agencies have upgraded Mongolia’s sovereign credit rating to B+/B2, and its sovereign spread narrowed to historically low levels before the volatility spiked amid global trade tensions. The IMF staff’s Sovereign Risk and Debt Sustainability Framework (SRDSF) indicates a moderate risk rating compared to the high-risk rating in the 2023 SRDSF. However, the sharp increase in public spending in 2023-24, including wages and capital expenditures, resulted in a highly expansionary fiscal policy stance, which together with the policy rate cuts, despite the tightening of reserve requirements, fueled rapid credit growth and inflation pressures, and led to a surge in imports and a shift in the current account from surplus to deficit in 2024.

In early 2025, the commodity boom began to lose momentum, and the outlook has weakened amid rising downside risks. Mongolia’s coal export receipts declined sharply, mainly due to falling prices, resulting in a sizeable shortfall in budget revenues and a further widening of the current account deficit, which led to a reduction in foreign exchange reserves and increased depreciation. Credit growth and inflation remain high despite some recent moderation, with inflation standing above the Bank of Mongolia (BOM)’s target band.

Policies to Navigate a Weaker Outlook and Increased Risks

Fiscal policy

Greater fiscal prudence and adherence to the fiscal rules are critical to restoring external and internal balances and preserving fiscal buffers. Despite the decline in revenues, the authorities plan to meet the structural fiscal balance target envisaged in the 2025 Budget and the recently approved medium-term fiscal framework through expenditure restraint. To achieve this objective, the government needs to articulate detailed and credible measures. It is critical that these measures safeguard social spending to protect the most vulnerable. Should downside risks materialize, an ambitious consolidation strategy would be needed to preserve macroeconomic stability. To ensure the credibility of fiscal rules as a policy anchor, compliance with the rules will be critical. In particular, large investment projects should be implemented within the fiscal deficit and debt rules, as defined in the Fiscal Stability Law.

As a priority, the tax package currently under discussion should be reconsidered. While the package includes several positive elements, such as modernizing the tax administration, broadening VAT base, introducing digital service tax and strengthening progressive tax structure, it would result in a substantial and permanent reduction in non-mining tax revenues. This would increase the overall deficit, reduce the government’s fiscal space to implement critically needed development projects, and hinder compliance with fiscal rules, while also increasing the budget’s vulnerability to volatile mining revenues. In addition, some elements of the tax package need to be further refined to align with international best practices. The package also includes some measures, such as a progressive VAT, for which Mongolia’s tax administration is not yet prepared. Instead, reform efforts should focus on strengthening non-mining revenue mobilization by streamlining tax incentives, collecting tax arrears, and implementing tax and customs administration reforms.

Further reforms are needed to mitigate fiscal risks. Efforts should focus on improving the targeting of social assistance, which would help address the perceived inequitable distribution of mining wealth. Implementation of mega projects should be prioritized according to the availability of external financing and the economy’s absorptive capacity. Coordination with subnational entities needs to be strengthened to ensure fiscal discipline of the general government. Legal frameworks governing state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and public-private partnerships should be enhanced. Building on recent efforts, the Ministry of Finance’s capacity to monitor and mitigate related fiscal risks should be further strengthened. The Development Bank of Mongolia’s long-standing balance-sheet and governance issues need to be addressed promptly. Expanding domestic debt issuance is critical to establishing a benchmark yield curve to help develop domestic markets and to reduce Mongolia’s reliance on external borrowing.

Monetary and Exchange Rate Policies

Domestic financial conditions should remain tight to contain credit growth and inflation. Despite the policy rate hike in early 2025 and some moderation in recent months, inflation is expected to stay above the BOM’s target band over 2025–26. A further rate increase may be warranted if the recent decline in inflation reverses, including through exchange rate depreciation. At the same time, there is scope to recalibrate reserve requirements. Excessive reliance on reserve requirements may incentivize banks to seek external funds with more than one year maturity, which are excluded from these requirements, thus increasing the BOM’s exposure to exchange rate risks through its foreign exchange swaps with banks.

Greater exchange rate flexibility would strengthen Mongolia’s resilience to external shocks. The BOM should pursue opportunistic accumulation of reserves when market conditions allow. The BOM should support a more effective exchange rate price-discovery mechanism by gradually reducing its role as an intermediary and structural provider of FX to the market. In addition, the BOM should support the development of domestic FX derivatives markets and phase out its role as the dominant provider of FX hedging instruments to banks.

Reforms to strengthen the BOM’s effectiveness should be accelerated. As a priority, the BOM should fully withdraw from subsidized mortgage program, which undermines the transmission of monetary policy and jeopardizes the independence of the central bank. The government should expedite the transfer of the BOM’s subsidized mortgage program and relieve the BOM of its obligation to channel the newly established Savings Fund toward the expansion of the mortgage program. Moreover, the proposed amendments to the central bank law, aimed at strengthening the BOM’s mandate, as well as the operational autonomy, and governance, should be finalized and submitted to Parliament. Furthermore, the Ministry of Finance and the BOM need to agree on a memorandum of understanding that outlines a gradual recapitalization strategy for the BOM that is consistent with fiscal sustainability.

Macroprudential and Financial Sector Policies

Macroprudential frameworks and financial oversight should be strengthened to mitigate financial stability risks, including rapid credit growth. The recent tightening of macroprudential measures, including the reduction of Debt-Service-To-Income (DSTI) limits, for banks and non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs) is a welcome development. Further efforts are needed, including aligning the DSTI limit for NBFIs with that of banks and expanding the BOM’s macroprudential toolkit to include countercyclical capital buffers, liquidity coverage ratios, and net stable funding ratios. Macroprudential and monetary policies should be separated in terms of formulation and implementation. The ongoing transition toward a risk-based, forward‑looking supervisory approach is welcome. The interconnections between banks and NBFIs should be closely monitored. Amendments to the BOM and Banking Laws are critical to ensure greater legal protection for supervisors and more effective inter-agency information sharing and coordination. The strengthening of crisis management arrangements and clarifying the resources available for resolutions would also help reduce financial stability risks.

Reforms are also needed to enhance the financial sector’s ability to lend to creditworthy entities. The objective is to reduce the cost of lending, especially to small and medium-sized enterprises. This could be done by amending the Credit Information and Insolvency Laws to enable more effective and timely credit assessment and collateral evaluation, and to streamline foreclosure and insolvency processes. In addition, efforts to diversify bank ownership structures should continue, which may require increasing ownership limits, and allowing investment in multiple banks. This should be complemented with effective supervision of complex ownership structures to mitigate the risks associated with connected and related-party lending.

Structural Policies

Further improvements to the business climate and governance that build on recent progress would boost Mongolia’s long-term growth prospects. The substantial state footprint in the economy and frequent regulatory changes dampen private sector initiatives and discourage FDI. Reform efforts should focus on reducing red tape, streamlining licensing procedures, improving tax compliance and land use processes, and ensuring consistent and transparent judicial and regulatory enforcement. Governance in the public sector also requires strengthening. This includes addressing corruption vulnerabilities in revenue institutions, strengthening the transparency and accountability of public procurement and SOEs, and implementing legislative reforms, including the SOE Law and Whistleblower Protection Law. Mongolia has made satisfactory progress in strengthening its anti‑money laundering and counter-financing of terrorism legal framework, though challenges related to effective implementation remain.

Climate adaptation, mitigation, and green transition will require significant investments and policy reforms. Adaptation actions are needed given increase in the frequency and intensity of natural hazards, such as harsh winters and floods, while mitigation actions are needed to address Mongolia’s high carbon intensity and to reduce air pollution. In addition, preparations are needed to address the expected decline in China’s coal demand as it advances its energy transition and decarbonization agenda. So far, implementation of Mongolia’s climate agenda remains limited. Climate adaptation measures have yet to be fully integrated into sectoral policies and budget processes. Moreover, there is no dedicated climate change law to mandate cross-sectoral coordination. Advancing Mongolia’s climate objectives will require significant financial contributions from both the public and private sectors, underscoring the importance of creating fiscal space.

The staff team expresses its sincere gratitude to the authorities and to a broad range of public and private sector counterparts for their warm hospitality and for the candid, constructive discussions.

MIL-OSI USA: Reps. Goldman, Ciscomani introduce bipartisan anti-corruption bill to criminalize public officials accepting ‘tips’ for official actions

‘No Gratuities for Governance Act’ Closes Loophole Created by Supreme Court Allowing Public Officials to Solicit Gratuities from Private Actors

Washington, D.C – Congressman Dan Goldman (NY-10) and Juan Ciscomani (AZ-06) today introduced the No Gratuities for Governance Act, a bipartisan bill that would close a dangerous loophole created by the Supreme Court’s 2024 Snyder v. U.S. case, which allows public officials to receive bribes in the form of ‘tips’ for their official actions as long as the benefit is received after the official action is made.

“One year ago, the Supreme Court effectively legalized bribery, ruling that politicians can solicit a ‘tip’ for their official acts as long as they get paid after the fact,” Congressman Dan Goldman said. “Restoring faith in our democracy begins with confronting the corruption that has hollowed out the public trust and allowed power to be abused without consequence. If we want the American people to believe in their government again, we must hold ourselves—and one another—to a higher standard of integrity, transparency, and accountability. It is only through concrete action that we can begin to repair the broken social contract and prove that public service is still about serving the public. ”

Congressman Juan Ciscomani said, “Holding an elected office is a public trust and should never be a pathway for personal profit.. This bipartisan bill closes a dangerous loophole that allowed public officials to profit from their actions in office and ensures that they are held to a strong standard of transparency and accountability.”

The bill comes in response to the Supreme Court’s 6-3 decision in Snyder v. United States, where the court threw out the conviction of an Indiana mayor who solicited and received a $13,000 bribe from a garbage truck company to whom he had previously awarded a $1 million contract. The Court’s conservative majority ruled that because there was no quid pro quo agreement before the official action, relevant bribery statutes did not apply to the $13,000 gift the mayor solicited from the contractor.

The No Gratuities for Governance Act would recriminalize these gratuities to ensure elected officials cannot profit from the power their position grants them. Specifically, the bill would:
- Prohibit state, local, or tribal officials from taking a gratuity of $1,000 or more because of any official act they have performed involving government business or contracts valued at $5,000 or more.
- Make acceptance of an illegal gratuity by a state, local, or tribal official punishable by up to two years in prison. This matches the maximum sentence faced by federal officials who take an illegal gratuity.
- Increase the maximum sentence that state, local, or tribal officials convicted of bribery face from 10 to 15 years. This matches the maximum sentence faced by federal officials who take a bribe.
Congressman Goldman has made rooting out corruption and restoring the public’s faith in our governing institutions a primary focus of his time in office.

Earlier this month, Goldman delivered the featured speech at New York Law School’s 199th CityLaw Breakfast titled, “Democracy on the Brink: Corruption and the Public Trust.” In a moment of historic political upheaval, Goldman issued a candid assessment of how public corruption and the erosion of guardrails and forms of accountability – on both sides of the political aisle and at every level of government – are threatening the very foundation of American democracy and the willingness of the public to buy into the American social contract.

Last year, Congressman Goldman introduced the ‘Supreme Court Ethics and Investigations Act’ which would establish a dedicated investigative body within the Supreme Court that would provide transparency and accountability through exhaustive investigations into alleged ethical improprieties and reports to Congress on its findings.

Last Congress, Goldman cosponsored the ‘Democracy For All Amendment,’ which would overturn legal precedents that have allowed unrestrained campaign spending and dark money to corrupt American democracy.

Last Congress, Goldman cosponsored the ‘Democracy For All Amendment,’ which would overturn legal precedents that have allowed unrestrained campaign spending and dark money to corrupt American democracy.

MIL-OSI USA: Rep. Miller-Meeks Hosts Capitol Hill Briefing Showcasing Breakthroughs in Healthcare AI

Washington, D.C. – On Wednesday afternoon, June 25, 2025, Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks, M.D. (IA-01), convened a bipartisan Capitol Hill briefing to spotlight how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming clinical practice and patient care. Members of Congress, staff, and healthcare leaders heard from innovators using AI to improve outcomes, streamline workflows, and expand access—especially in underserved areas.

The discussion emphasized the importance of responsible AI that supports, rather than replaces, clinical judgment, while upholding privacy and ethics and expanding access to quality care. The event included a robust Q&A covering regulatory challenges, liability protections, reimbursement hurdles, and the role of venture capital in scaling AI tools.

“Artificial intelligence holds tremendous potential to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of healthcare delivery, and as a Member of Congress and the Energy and Commerce Committee, I believe the federal government can learn a lot from the pioneers of AI in healthcare,” said Rep. Miller-Meeks. “During our roundtable, we heard from innovators who developed AI that is detecting heart disease and vision-threatening conditions associated with diabetes earlier and more cost-effectively—preserving vision and even saving lives.”

“We are living through a moment of major societal transition, and AI is already touching nearly every aspect of how we prevent, diagnose, and manage disease,” said Dr. Jesse Ehrenfeld, Immediate Past President of the American Medical Association. “Two-thirds of U.S. physicians are using AI tools today—not to replace clinical judgment, but to offload routine tasks and improve workflow efficiency.”

“Only about 20% of patients with diabetes complete their recommended annual eye exams, leaving most at risk of preventable vision loss,” said Dr. Michael Abramoff, Founder of Iowa-based Digital Diagnostics. “Autonomous AI helps close this care gap by enabling early detection in primary care—supported by CPT reimbursement and national policy to expand access while lowering cost.”

“AI tools like HeartFlow’s coronary CT technology give physicians vital insights into blood flow and plaque characteristics,” said Dr. Campbell Rogers, Chief Medical Officer of HeartFlow. “We need AI-specific reimbursement frameworks to ensure these innovations are available to patients who need them most.”

“As investors, we operate at the intersection of business, government, and society,” said Todd Klein, Partner at Revolution Growth. “Our unique access to policymakers, paired with deep national networks, helps startups scale transformative technologies like healthcare AI responsibly and effectively.”

Key Takeaways:
- Aligning FDA clearance and CMS payment is imperative to ensure access to care through federal and state reimbursement.
- AI focused on outcomes enhances—rather than replaces—physician work and enables top-of-license practice.
- Healthcare startups are crucial drivers of AI innovation and should be engaged as resources by Congress, FDA, CMS, and OSTP.
- A transparent, consistent regulatory pathway is needed for autonomous AI approval in healthcare.
The briefing underscored the critical opportunity for the United States to lead in safe, ethical, and scalable AI healthcare deployment—if the regulatory and reimbursement environment is designed to support it.

MIL-OSI USA: Ranking Member Mfume’s Opening Remarks at Subcommittee Hearing on the Trump Administration’s Politicization of the U.S. Postal Service

WASHINGTON, D.C. —Below is Rep. Kweisi Mfume’s opening statement, as prepared for delivery, at today’s Subcommittee on Government Operations hearing on President Trump’s efforts to undermine the independence of the Postal Service and the failure of Trump-appointed Former Postmaster General’s “Delivering for America Plan.”

Subcommittee on Government Operations
“The Route Forward for the U.S. Postal Service: A View from Stakeholders”

June 24, 2025

Thank you, Chairman Sessions, for calling a hearing on this important topic. I appreciate your interest in bringing us together for a thoughtful conversation about how the Postal Service can chart a better path forward under new leadership.

The Postal Service has an immense duty dating back to its creation—it powers communities and businesses, it keeps Americans healthy, it reinforces democracy, and it bridges geographical, economic, and cultural divides. Importantly, its universal service obligation ensures equitable access to prompt, reliable and efficient mail services—whether you live in a rural Maryland county or my constituents in the City of Baltimore and Baltimore County.

With Mr. David Steiner starting his tenure next month as the 76th Postmaster General, this is our first hearing on the Postal Service since the departure of former Postmaster General Louis DeJoy. I hope Mr. Steiner heeds our calls to protect the service that millions of Americans rely on to send and receive critical items—from financial statements and mail-in ballots to life-saving medicines and personal letters.

In doing so, he must defend against any threats to the Service’s independence and ensure the Postal Service remains a public good—which will not be easy under this Administration. Donald Trump has repeatedly questioned its independence and wrongly suggested privatization or merging it with the Commerce Department, despite the Postal Service being a self-supporting, independent agency.

To be clear: unilateral restructuring efforts would not only be illegal, but could jeopardize the delivery of critical items, especially in rural communities and hard-to-reach areas where the Postal Service serves as a lifeline.

Let us be reminded that our nation’s first Postmaster General, Benjamin Franklin, advocated for the security and privacy of the mail—not privatization. A commitment to security and privacy that our former Postmaster General upheld after refusing to allow DOGE officials, that have no experience with the Postal Service, broad access to the Postal Service’s data systems.

I urge the incoming Postmaster General to continue blocking any efforts to compromise the Postal Service’s data in order to maintain the historical status as one of the most trusted American institutions. Because for American families and businesses to continue to trust the USPS with their precious mail, they require certain assurances.

Americans deserve a true universal service—with reliable and efficient delivery times, affordable pricing, and low risk of theft.

Sadly, letter carriers are being robbed at gunpoint or chased by criminals with bats and no concern for the life or safety of these patriotic men and women. These criminals are desperately trying to obtain arrow keys, which are master keys, to steal mail in bulk—from low- and high-income communities alike.

The former Postmaster General, Louis DeJoy, proposed a seven rate hikes of postage that would mark a 41.8percent increase in the price of First-Class Mail Forever stamps since 2021—all while the Postal Service continues to serve the American public well below its 95% on time delivery standard.

That’s asking Americans to pay higher prices for worse service. Slower delivery times and concerning rates of mail theft and fraud do nothing to attract and retain the Postal Service’s customer base.

The Postal Service must be efficient, reliable, and stable to ensure its long-term survival. Now that we’re more than four years into the Delivering for America plan, it’s clear that the incoming Postmaster General, the Board of Governors, and Congress must be brave enough to protect this vital institution without compromising good service.

In the past, I supported the Inflation Reduction Act’s $3 billion in funds to replenish and modernize its vehicle fleet and invest in electric infrastructure.

Yet, instead of building on this progress to deploy safer and current vehicles, Senate Republicans are supporting a $1 billion rescission in these funds, costing the Postal Service a total of $1.5 billion—despite the American people already paying for a modern fleet replacement.

The rescission would not only be environmentally irresponsible, but also immensely wasteful.

Let us also recognize the incredible work the postal workforce continues to do for the American people.

The Postal Service’s workforce delivered ballots during the last election cycle reliably and efficiently, and employees weathered the storm of high volume during the holiday season.

The positive relationship between the Postal Service and Inspector General, Tammy Hull, has been crucial in identifying and resolving areas of waste and improving efficiency and identifying cost savings for the Postal Service.

There have also been notable efforts to renovate facilities in dire need of repair, expansion, and relocation.

Collectively, I think we can all agree that there must be a better way to address the frustrations of our constituents, of fellow Members, and of critical partners, and to build back Americans’ trust in the Postal Service.

As we partner to remedy those frustrations, let’s also make clear that the Postal Service is not for sale, not to be sidelined, and not be weakened.

It is a pillar of American life, and we owe it to the American people to protect and improve it.

I look forward to this discussion on how we can all work together to put this essential institution on firmer ground.

I yield back.

MIL-OSI USA: The Tiffany Telegram: June 27, 2025

Source: United States House of Representatives – Representative Tom Tiffany (WI-07)

Dear Friend,

A lot has been happening in Washington these past few weeks, and I will update you on all of it in this edition of the Tiffany Telegram.

But first, I ask you to join me in praying for the two Milwaukee police officers who were shot in the line of duty last night. We need the power of prayer to uplift them and their families as they recover from their injuries. You can read more about the incident here.

Since our last Telegram, President Trump authorized a successful airstrike in Iran, eliminating key components of their nuclear weapons capability. Iran’s rulers have been vowing “Death to America” for decades, and peace cannot coexist with a nuclear-armed Iran.

These types of actions fall squarely under the President’s powers as commander-in-chief. But in typical D.C. fashion, Democrats immediately filed articles of impeachment against President Trump. These are the same people who stayed silent when Presidents Biden, Obama, and Clinton used military force in similar situations.

We saw this same double standard during President Trump’s first term. When they couldn’t defeat him at the ballot box, and their bogus lawfare campaign failed, they turned to political stunts. Thankfully, a bipartisan majority – including 128 House Democrats – joined Republicans in rejecting the latest impeachment proposal.

President Trump has made it clear that he is not seeking a “regime change” in Iran, and I agree. No reasonable person wants to see American servicemen and women pulled into another endless ground war in the Middle East. What we need is peace through strength. If there is one president who can achieve that, it’s Donald Trump, just as he proved through the Abraham Accords in his first term.

We also have problems here at home that require urgent attention. A report this week revealed that over the past four years, the Biden administration released more than 700 illegal Iranian nationals into our country.

And those are just the ones we know about.

Many more may have entered undetected across our wide-open southern border. Thankfully, the Trump administration took action this week by arresting over 100 of them this week. One of them even had ties to Iran-backed Hezbollah and was living less than 30 minutes from the Seventh District, in St. Paul. You can read more about that here.

We must put America first, and that means removing people who never should be here to begin with. The House-passed reconciliation bill takes major steps toward securing our border, and I will keep you updated as the Senate works through it this weekend.

As we approach Independence Day, I hope you enjoy time with your family and loved ones but also take a moment to honor the heroes who have made this freedom possible. Thanks again for starting off your weekend with us! We will be back in two weeks with more.

Sincerely,
Tom Tiffany
Member of Congress

WHO’s in charge of U.S. pandemic policy?

That’s a question many Americans were asking during the last administration, when former President Biden bent over backwards to funnel hundreds of millions of dollars to the scandal-plagued World Health Organization (WHO) while quietly working behind the scenes to negotiate a controversial “pandemic accord.” Telegram readers will recall that I responded by drafting a bill to put the brakes on this dangerous effort by classifying it as a treaty, and requiring any such “agreement” to be presented to the Senate for ratification, where it would require a two-thirds supermajority vote. While I wasn’t able to get my legislation enacted into law last Congress, it did clear the House. The good news is that President Trump is back in the Oval Office, and has moved quickly to withdraw the U.S. from the WHO. The bad news, however, is that a future president more friendly to shady organizations like the United Nations and WHO may try to pick up where the Biden administration left off. That’s why this week I reintroduced the No WHO Pandemic Preparedness Treat Without Senate Approval Act. I’m hopeful that in the coming weeks and months, I can work with the Senate sponsor, Sen. Ron Johnson, and President Trump to get this bill across the finish line to protect American sovereignty today – and well into the future. You can read more about the effort here.

Protect our streets, deport criminal illegal aliens

After being trapped for four years with a president who allowed and encouraged millions of illegal aliens to flood the United States with little to no vetting, American citizens were forced to pay the price of an open border – sometimes even with their lives. In 2023, Jorge Sanchez, who was in the U.S. illegally, was convicted of a DUI. But instead of being deported, he was released back onto the streets. Then, just a year later, Sanchez was driving drunk again when he struck and killed Wisconsin father Steven Nasholm. This tragedy didn’t have to happen. That’s why yesterday, House Republicans passed the Protect Our Communities from DUIs Act. This bill will deport any illegal alien convicted of driving under the influence, and prevents any future president from skirting their deportation, as we saw with the Biden-Harris administration. Sadly, 160 Democrats opposed the measure. You can see how lawmakers voted on the bill here.

Putting American veterans first

Our veterans have made the ultimate sacrifice to this great nation, and honoring those men and women is crucial. That is why this week, the House passed legislation to protect our service members and veterans. This legislation ensures that veterans’ healthcare and benefits are fully funded, including critical support for mental health and President Trump’s Bridging Rental Assistance for Veteran Empowerment (BRAVE) program to combat homelessness. It defends constitutional rights by preventing the VA from sharing veteran information without a judge’s consent and blocks federal funding for DEI, gender procedures, and illegal alien services at VA facilities. You can read more about the package here, and see how lawmakers voted on it here.

Join me and Congressman Scott Fitzgerald in celebrating 50 years of a Wisconsin favorite – happy anniversary, Miller Lite!

Committee Update

Judiciary

The devastation caused by illegal migration

On Thursday, during a Judiciary Immigration Subcommittee hearing, I questioned witnesses on the effects of mass illegal migration on the American people. As we know, the impacts have been widespread and often tragic. During the Biden administration, we saw stories ranging from Laken Riley in Georgia, Jocelyn Nungaray in Texas, and two children in our very own Seventh District where destructive open borders policies shattered American families, terrorized American communities, and killed innocent Americans. And it doesn’t stop there. The tidal wave of illegal immigration flooding American neighborhoods has also reduced job opportunities and lowered wages, especially for blue-collar workers. We’ve also seen more than 250,000 Americans killed by fentanyl almost solely sourced from Communist China and smuggled in through the open southern border by Mexican cartels. That’s why it was deeply troubling to hear one witness blame victims who are unintentionally poisoned, rather than targeting those pumping this deadly drug into our communities. Strengthening border security and interior enforcement is a critical step to turning the tide, and I let the witness know that. You can watch our exchange here.

Natural Resources

Fixing our forests with modern tech

Yesterday, we had an exciting hearing in the Federal Lands Subcommittee on advancing innovative technologies to improve forest management and prevent wildfires. The private sector has developed some compelling technology in this space, and now we just need federal agencies to use it. Despite spending an average of $2.5 billion per year on wildfires, this crisis is only getting worse. That’s because instead of investing in proactive prevention, we’re spending all that money on reactive suppression. A lot of fires can be prevented with stronger federal integration with the private sector, proactive forest management, and faster responses enabled by modern technology. Whether it’s drones that fly through thick smoke and high winds, AI models that predict fire behavior in real-time, or remote sensors and camera networks that detect ignitions before they become infernos, each of these technologies plays a complementary role in confronting the wildfire crisis. With all the technology we have at our disposal, there is no excuse for the situation to remain the same. It is also timely that this week, the USDA repealed the Clinton-era roadless rule that has prevented the proper management of nearly 59 million acres of Forest Service land. This Congress and this administration will continue to enact commonsense reforms for how we manage our public lands, so that we have safer communities and a healthier environment. You can watch my questions from the hearing here.

MIL-OSI USA: Energy Department Withdraws from Biden-Era Columbia River System Memorandum of Understanding

Source: US Department of Energy

WASHINGTON— U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright today announced that the Department of Energy in coordination with the White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), the Departments of Commerce and the Interior and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, has officially withdrawn from the Columbia River System Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Today’s action follows President Trump’s Memorandum directing the federal government to halt the Biden Administration’s radical Columbia River basin policy and will ensure Americans living in the Pacific Northwest can continue to rely on affordable hydropower from the Lower Snake River dams to help meet their growing power needs.

“The Pacific Northwest deserves energy security, not energy scarcity. Dams in the Columbia River Basin have provided affordable and reliable electricity to millions of American families and businesses for decades,” said Energy Secretary Chris Wright. “Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, American taxpayer dollars will not be spent dismantling critical infrastructure, reducing our energy-generating capacity or on radical nonsense policies that dramatically raise prices on the American people. This Administration will continue to protect America’s critical energy infrastructure and ensure reliable, affordable power for all Americans.”

BACKGROUND:

On June 10, 2025, President Trump signed the Presidential Memorandum, Stopping Radical Environmentalism to Generate Power for the Columbia River Basin, revoking the prior Presidential Memorandum, Restoring Healthy and Abundant Salmon, Steelhead, and Other Native Fish Populations in the Columbia River Basin, part of the radical green energy agenda calling for “equitable treatment for fish.”

The Biden-era MOU required the federal government to spend over $1 billion and comply with 36 pages of costly, onerous commitments aimed at replacing services provided by the Lower Snake River Dams and advancing the possibility of breaching them. Breaching the dams would have doubled the region’s risk of power shortages, driven wholesale electricity rates up by as much as 50%, and cost as much as $31.3 billion to replace.

The plan would have devastated regional agriculture by reducing water supply to farmers, eliminated several shipping channels, raised transportation costs, and destroyed recreational opportunities across the Columbia River Basin.

The four dams on the Lower Snake River provide over 3,000 megawatts of secure, reliable and affordable hydroelectric generating capacity— enough generation to power 2.5 million American homes. The Trump administration is committed to protecting this critical infrastructure with lower energy costs, critical shipping channels, and vital water supply for local farmers.

MIL-OSI: E-L Financial Corporation Limited Enters Into Automatic Share Purchase Plan

Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

TORONTO, June 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — E-L Financial Corporation Limited (TSX:ELF) (TSX:ELF.PR.F) (TSX:ELF.PR.G) (TSX:ELF.PR.H) (the “Company”) announced today that, as part of its previously announced normal course issuer bid (the “Bid”), it has entered into a pre-defined automatic share purchase plan (“ASPP”) with its designated broker in order to facilitate repurchases of the Company’s common shares (the “Shares”). The ASPP has received clearance from the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) and is scheduled to take effect on June 30, 2025.

The ASPP is designed to allow for the repurchase of the Shares in connection with the Bid at times when the Company ordinarily would not be active in the market due to its own internal trading blackout periods, insider trading rules or otherwise. Outside of the restricted periods, the timing of purchases will be determined by management of the Company. Decisions regarding purchases will be based on market conditions, share price, best use of available cash, and other factors. The funding for any purchase pursuant to the Bid will be financed out of the working capital of the Company.

The ASPP will terminate on the earliest of the following dates: (a) upon the expiration of the Bid; (b) when the maximum annual purchase limit under the Bid is reached; or (c) the ASPP otherwise terminates in accordance with its terms.

All purchases of Shares made under the ASPP will be included in determining the number of Shares purchased under the Bid. Any Shares purchased by the Company pursuant to the ASPP will be cancelled. The Company is not currently in possession of any material undisclosed information in relation to the Company, the Shares or any of the Company’s other securities.

The Company previously announced that it had received approval from the Exchange to purchase up to 173,086 Shares for cancellation through the facilities of the Exchange or through alternative Canadian trading systems during the 12-month period commencing March 12, 2025 and ending March 11, 2026. The Bid has been subsequently adjusted to reflect the a hundred-for-one share split of the Shares approved by the shareholders of the Company on May 7, 2025. Since the initiation of the Bid, the Company has not bought back any Shares.

MIL-OSI USA: Governor Newsom statement on nationwide injunctions

Jun 27, 2025

Sacramento, California – Governor Gavin Newsom issued the following statement today after the U.S. Supreme Court announced its ruling on Trump v. CASA, Trump v. Washington, and Trump v. New Jersey:

In a challenge to the Trump Administration’s blatantly unconstitutional birthright citizenship executive order, the Supreme Court declined to decide whether a nationwide injunction is necessary and appropriate in the lawsuits brought by the States. While the executive order is still temporarily blocked from going into effect, this decision is deeply disappointing. However, California remains hopeful that the lower courts will ensure blatant federal overreach doesn’t go unchecked.

MIL-OSI USA: Senator Markey Statement on Supreme Court Ruling to Uphold the E-Rate Program

Washington (June 27, 2025) – Senator Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), member of the Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, released the following statement after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Federal Communications Commission v. Consumers’ Research that the Universal Service Fund (USF) is constitutional. The USF funds broadband programs, including the E-Rate program, which provides funding to connect schools and libraries to the internet.

“Today’s ruling reaffirms that the E-Rate program is the essential broadband lifeline for education in the twenty-first century, benefitting millions of students in Massachusetts and across the country. Without it, too many classrooms would fall into digital darkness and too many students would be left offline and unable to compete. Thanks to this ruling, E-Rate will continue serving as a great technological equalizer for millions of students. I will continue fighting to protect and expand the E-Rate program, so that every child — regardless of their zip code — has access to the internet.”

Senator Markey is the House author of the original E-Rate program, which has invested more than $62 billion to connect schools and libraries to the internet across the country. Massachusetts schools and libraries have received more than $930 million from the E-Rate program and another $97 million from the Emergency Connectivity Fund, a $7 billion program that Senators Markey and Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) created within the American Rescue Plan to provide devices and connectivity for students and educators at home.

MIL-OSI Europe: Answer to a written question – Need for broader deregulation and simplification to reduce administrative burdens – E-001664/2025(ASW)
Source: European Parliament
The target for reducing reporting obligations’ burden has been set at 25% in March 2023, in the ‘Long term competitiveness’ Communication[1].

As indicated in the communication ‘A Simpler and Faster Europe’[2], this target has been expanded to cover all administrative burden, and up to 35% for small and medium enterprises (SMEs). This represents a target of EUR 37.5 billion of savings over the mandate.

The President of the Commission has made the reduction of red tape a priority for the new mandate of the Commission as explained in answer to E-1084/2025.

The roadmap has been set in the ‘Competitiveness compass’ and the communication ‘A Simpler and Faster Europe’ and simplification omnibuses have been adopted on 26 February, 14 May, 21 May and 17 June 2025. However, while aiming at achieving significant simplification, the Commission proposals nevertheless preserve the EU policy goals.

The Better Regulation tools have been reinforced (e.g. through the SME and Competitiveness checks, and the scrutiny of delegated and implementing acts) to ensure that EU legislation is designed with implementation and simplification in mind right from the outset.

The communication also underscores the important role of the co-legislators for this process:

‘The European Parliament and the Council have a central role to play in creating simple and effective rules at the lowest administrative cost for people and companies. In 2016, both institutions committed to the principle of assessing the impacts of their substantial amendments when appropriate’.

Question for written answer E-002457/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Engin Eroglu (Renew), Joachim Streit (Renew)

The Global Gateway initiative aims to offer a strategic alternative to China’s Belt and Road Initiative. Funded by European taxpayers, it seeks to promote European values and interests worldwide.

However, media reports indicate that Chinese state-owned enterprises have won major contracts under EU-funded projects abroad. In some years, they reportedly secured more contract value financed by the European Investment Bank (EIB) than European firms.

This raises serious concerns about the responsible use of EU funds, the competitiveness of European industry, and the EU’s strategic autonomy.

1.Can the Commission confirm the accuracy of recent media reports regarding Chinese companies being awarded contracts under Global Gateway and in EIB-funded projects, and clarify the extent of their involvement?

2.What measures is the Commission taking – both independently and in cooperation with the EIB – to ensure that EU-funded infrastructure projects do not benefit strategic competitors or undermine Europe’s geopolitical and economic interests, and that European companies and workers benefit fairly from these initiatives?

3.What reforms to the EIB’s procurement rules for non-EU projects could help block tenders based on unfair competition, such as incorporating principles from the Foreign Subsidies Regulation[1]?

Source: European Parliament
In the case described by the Honourable Member, it appears that the company importing the bicycle parts is not an exempted party, and the parts that it imports are then sent to an exempted company.

Regarding the importation, as the company importing the goods is not an exempted party, it can only import in exemption from the extended duties complying with the requirements for end-use of Article 14 of Regulation (EC) No 88/97[1].

The granting of an end-use authorisation, as well as the control of compliance with the requirements and the end-use procedure, are the responsibility of the customs authorities of the Member States.

Regarding the exempted company, Article 8 of Regulation (EC) No 88/97 requires that where that company receives deliveries of essential bicycle parts which have been exempted from the extended duty pursuant to Article 2, those parts are either used in its assembly operations or assembly of other products, destroyed, re-exported, or resold to another exempted party.

Regarding sales, these parts cannot be resold to non-exempted parties. Any operation not in line with these rules would constitute a breach of the obligations of the exempted party.

Source: European Parliament

To deliver the clean energy transition, all zero- and low-carbon energy solutions are needed. When part of the energy mix, nuclear has a role to play in building a resilient and clean energy system.

Necessary investments will enable the EU to keep its industrial leadership in this sector and upholding the highest standards on safety and management of radioactive waste.

The Commission presented the Clean Industrial Deal (CID)[1] and the action plan for Affordable Energy[2] to improve competitiveness and reduce energy costs for EU industries in the transition. On 13 June 2025, the Commission adopted the new Nuclear Illustrative Programme (PINC).

It assesses costs and investment needs covering the full life cycle of nuclear installations, upskilling, diversification, and the development of competitive supply chains.

The PINC also assesses financing models for a faster development and safe deployment of new nuclear technologies, such as Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), Advanced Modular Reactors and microreactors in Europe.

Under the reformed internal energy market legislation, nuclear projects have equal access to financing schemes including Contracts for Difference and Power Purchase Agreements[3].

The Commission works with the European Investment Bank on initiatives announced in the CID, supported by InvestEU, and is preparing a Clean Energy Investment Strategy.

The Commission has also announced the design phase of a new potential Important Project of Common European Interest candidate on innovative nuclear technologies.

Based on the first deliverables of the European Industrial Alliance on SMRs, the Commission will table a strategic plan on de-risking SMR projects, strengthening the EU supply chain, and attracting private investment.

MIL-OSI Europe: Answer to a written question – Access to school canteens in Sicily and the use of ESF+ and NRRP funds – E-001981/2025(ASW)
Source: European Parliament

The Commission acknowledges the situation regarding school canteens in Sicily and is working closely with Italy to ensure the effective implementation of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan[1]. Investment 1.2[2] supports the construction or renovation of canteen spaces for at least 1 000 structures[3].

This would allow schools to extend school time, increase the educational offer and keep schools open beyond school hours. The Commission will assess its implementation via the target for ‘Structures to host students beyond school time’[4], whose completion is expected by Q2 2026.

The European Social Fund + (ESF+) regional programme (RP) in Sicily contributes to combat education poverty and improve access to essential services.

Under its specific objective 4.5[5], the RP launched in 2023 the call ‘Open schools for the territory’[6], making available EUR 27 million[7] to enhance training provision, supporting students at risk of failure and dropout, and promoting schools as cultural hubs. The call also supports access to school canteens, covering the costs of meals for students participating to afternoon activities.

The ESF+ contributes to the implementation of the Child Guarantee through targeted actions and structural reforms to tackle child poverty.

To this end, Italy has earmarked EUR 1.1 billion of ESF+ resources, with roughly EUR 25 million[8] to be invested in Sicily. The Commission regularly monitors these funds to ensure goals are met.

Member States have developed national plans for the Child Guarantee, also overseen by the Commission. Through these efforts, the ESF+ strives to break the cycle of poverty and provide every child with equal opportunities, a crucial aspect for the effective implementation of the Child Guarantee, particularly in regions like Sicily.

Source: European Parliament
The Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (UWWTD)[1] requires the removal of micropollutants from urban wastewaters with quaternary treatment.

The Polluter-Pays Principle[2] is enshrined in Article 191 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The European Court of Auditors[3] recommended strengthening the integration of this principle into environmental legislation.

The UWWTD refers to it[4] and provides for an extended producer responsibility system (EPR) whereby the pharmaceutical and cosmetics sectors, which represent the main source of micropollutants in urban wastewater[5], finance at least 80% of the quaternary treatment costs.

The impact assessment accompanying the Commission’s proposal assessed the cost of such extended producer responsibility system and its impact[6] on the pharmaceutical sector at EU level.

In addition, as announced in the Water Resilience Strategy[7] of 4 June 2025, in the context of the implementation of the extended producer responsibility, the Commission will conduct an updated study of costs and its potential impacts on concerned sectors.

In addition, the Commission will continue to support Member States in the pragmatic design of national systems with a view to avoiding unexpected or unintended consequences, in particular for the availability and affordability of medicines.

MIL-OSI Security: Former Santa Cruz County Treasurer Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison for Stealing Over $38 Million in County Funds

Source: US FBI

TUCSON, Ariz. – Elizabeth Gutfahr, 63 of Rio Rico, Arizona, was sentenced on June 23, 2025, by United States District Judge Rosemary C. Márquez to 120 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. Gutfahr previously pleaded guilty to Embezzlement by a Public Official, Money Laundering, and Tax Evasion. Gutfahr was also ordered to pay approximately $51.8 million in restitution to Santa Cruz County and the United States Treasury.

“The people of Santa Cruz County and all Arizonans have a right to expect their elected leaders to serve with integrity and in the best interest of their constituents,” said U.S. Attorney Timothy Courchaine. “Ms. Gutfahr stole more than money from the people of her county, she betrayed the confidence of the voters who elected her. This sentence shows that abuse of public trust will be punished.”

“Ms. Gutfahr will now be held accountable for using her official position for huge financial gain at the expense of the residents of Santa Cruz County,” said FBI Phoenix Special Agent in Charge Heith Janke. “Each act of greed and dishonor negatively affected fundamental aspects of the county’s operations. The FBI continues to investigate public corruption cases, and we remain committed to identifying and pursuing those who violate the public’s trust.”

“Ms. Gutfahr violated her sworn duty by enriching herself with the public money she was entrusted to protect,” said Special Agent in Charge Carissa Messick of the IRS Criminal Investigation Phoenix Field Office. “Taxpayers deserve to know that their elected leaders are working in the community’s best interest — not just their own. IRS-CI remains committed to rooting out corruption at every level.”

According to court documents, Gutfahr, who served as Santa Cruz County Treasurer from 2012 through 2024, embezzled and laundered approximately $38.7 million by wiring public funds from Santa Cruz County’s account to accounts in the names of fake companies she had created that performed no legitimate business. Gutfahr then used the money to purchase real estate, to renovate her family ranch, to pay expenses for her cattle business, and to buy at least 20 vehicles.

Gutfahr’s 10-year scheme involved approximately 187 wire transfers, which she was able to complete by undermining the two-step approval process required for transfers. Gutfahr used the token of a subordinate Santa Cruz County employee so that she could both initiate and approve the wire transfers. To cover up the scheme, Gutfahr falsified accounting records, cash reconciliation records, and reports of the County’s investment accounts, thereby hiding the millions of dollars that she had stolen from Santa Cruz County. Gutfahr also failed to report any of the stolen funds as income for tax purposes.

The FBI and IRS-CI conducted the investigation in this case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jane L. Westby for the District of Arizona and Senior Litigation Counsel Nicholas W. Cannon of the Criminal Division’s Public Integrity Section handled the prosecution.

MIL-OSI United Nations: Continuity planning empowers businesses to adapt, recover, and thrive

Source: UNISDR Disaster Risk Reduction

Businesses often struggle to recover from extreme weather events and natural hazards because they are not ready.

It has been estimated that 40% of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) do not reopen after a disaster and many of those that do, fail within a year. Businesses need to rethink their operating models before disruptions happen. Yet building disaster resilience does not always have to require a resource intensive process or lead to something new. It does not mean changing what a business does, but how it does it. This is where business continuity planning comes in.

A business continuity plan (BCP) outlines what is needed for a business to continue operating or resume operations after a disruption. It serves as a guide for pivoting operations if and as needed. Yet according to some estimates, only 20-30% of SMEs have written BCPs in place.

In partnership with local governments, chambers of commerce and ARISE networks, UNDRR is implementing a project in Barcelona (Spain), Bridgetown (Barbados) and Sendai (Japan) to support SMEs in developing and testing business continuity plans to strengthen their disaster resilience. Early lessons are already emerging.

Here are five noteworthy things about business continuity planning that further highlight its importance:

Business continuity plans can separate those that recover from those that do not

With the increasing frequency and intensity of disasters, preparation is no longer optional. It makes all the difference. In many parts of the world, the question is not whether but when the next extreme weather event or natural hazard will strike. What businesses do today will determine how they fare in the face of a disaster tomorrow. A systemic approach to developing a BCP – conducting even quick multi-hazard risk assessments, identifying critical functions, outlining response and communications protocols, assigning roles, and stress-testing the plan – outline a clear roadmap that enables faster, risk informed decision-making and more effective resource allocation. Those without BCPs will inevitably face more chaos, operational delays, and significant losses – many times leading to business closure. Businesses that are risk-aware, with tested and up-to-date BCPs, however, are able to absorb shocks better, pivot operations, recover faster and become more resilient.

Business continuity plans are cost-effective mitigation measures

Business continuity plans are a quick, low-cost way to mitigate potentially high-impact disaster risks. They typically require low financial investment especially when compared against the potentially significant losses of being unprepared for disasters. This is particularly true for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that often do not have the resources – human or financial – for developing more holistic disaster risk reduction approaches or undertaking disaster recovery efforts.

Business continuity plans are a mechanism to operationalize resilience

While resilience encompasses more than just business continuity, a well prepared BCP provides the foundation for reducing organizational vulnerabilities, pivoting operations and building resilient recovery capabilities. They clarify roles and actions that are needed to continue operations or resume quickly after a disruption. While resilience may be the ultimate goal, business continuity planning represents the practical steps to achieve it.

Business continuity plans can offer a strategic advantage during uncertainty

Business continuity plans can significantly enhance a company’s competitiveness and safeguard long-term success during disruptions. Those that have BCPs – and have tested and updated them regularly – are in a better position to minimize downtime and continue or quickly resume their operations. They are better equipped to protect their physical assets and data, while also retaining customers as well as contributing to the resilience of the communities where they operate. The operational flexibility – agility and ability to adapt to changing circumstances – can even help in capturing more market share.

Business continuity plans can improve financial reserves

Limited access to finance and no or inadequate insurance coverage are often cited among the key reasons why SMEs do not recover from disasters. Partners want to ensure that their supply chains and services are not disrupted, investors and lenders are keen to protect their capital, and insurers want to minimize payouts. A robust BCP can help improve financial cushioning by providing a form of assurance that operations will continue. As operational and financial risks are lowered, the business becomes a more stable, and thus attractive investment. Business continuity planning can also improve insurability: turning the business into a lower-risk policyholder, potentially leading to better policy terms and/or lower insurance premiums. In general, BCPs signal commitment to proactivity, stability and sustainability – making the business more credible and trustworthy in the eyes of all key stakeholders.

To support businesses in understanding their resilience capacities, UNDRR has also developed the Resilience Maturity Assessment Tool (ReMA). ReMA helps businesses – particularly SMEs – identify gaps in their disaster preparedness and assess the maturity of their resilience strategies, offering a structured path toward stronger continuity planning and risk governance.

Business continuity planning is more than a safeguard – it’s a strategic choice that empowers businesses to adapt, recover, and thrive amid disruption.

A robust game library with slots, table games, and live dealer options enhances the gaming experience. High RTP ratings and provably fair games are critical for player satisfaction.
- Transaction Efficiency: Test the speed and reliability of deposits and withdrawals, prioritizing platforms with sub-7-minute crypto transactions. Efficient payment systems reduce wait times and enhance convenience. Ensure the casino supports multiple cryptocurrencies for maximum flexibility.
- Support Excellence: Confirm the availability of 24/7 customer support through live chat, email, or phone for prompt issue resolution. Responsive support is crucial for addressing technical or account-related concerns. Look for platforms offering dedicated responsible gaming assistance.
Optimizing the Experience

Players can maximize their crypto casino experience by adopting strategic approaches:
- Capitalizing on Rewards: Leverage generous welcome bonuses, free spins, and ongoing promotions to maximize value. Carefully review terms to ensure fair wagering requirements and optimize bonus benefits. This approach enhances gameplay without additional costs.
- Strategic Banking: Choose cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin or stablecoins based on transaction speed and cost efficiency. Using stablecoins can minimize volatility risks during deposits and withdrawals. Efficient banking ensures seamless access to funds.
- Exploring Game Variety: Engage with diverse game offerings, including live dealer games, slots, and provably fair titles, to enrich the gaming experience. Experimenting with different genres keeps gameplay fresh and exciting. This approach allows players to discover new favorites and maximize enjoyment.
- Responsible Play: Utilize tools like deposit limits and self-exclusion options to maintain healthy gaming habits. Regularly monitor spending and playtime to avoid overextension. Responsible gaming practices ensure long-term enjoyment and safety.

MIL-OSI: PIMCO Closed-End Funds Announce Shareholder Approval of Issuance of Common Shares in Proposed Reorganizations
Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

NEW YORK, June 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — At a joint special meeting earlier today, common shareholders of each of PIMCO Municipal Income Fund II (NYSE: PML), PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund II (NYSE: PNI) and PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund (NYSE: PCQ) (each, an “Acquiring Fund”) approved the issuance of additional common shares in connection with each of the below reorganizations, as applicable (each, a “Merger” and collectively, the “Mergers”):
- National Mergers: PIMCO Municipal Income Fund (NYSE: PMF) and PIMCO Municipal Income Fund III (NYSE: PMX) with and into PML;
- New York Mergers: PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund (NYSE: PNF) and PIMCO New York Municipal Income Fund III (NYSE: PYN) with and into PNI; and
- California Mergers: PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund II (NYSE: PCK) and PIMCO California Municipal Income Fund III (NYSE: PZC) with and into PCQ.
Once the Mergers are consummated, each of the Acquiring Funds will acquire all of the assets and liabilities of, as applicable, PMF, PMX, PNF, PYN, PCK, and PZC (each, an “Acquired Fund” and together with the Acquiring Funds, the “Funds”), and the common shares of each Acquired Fund will, in effect, be exchanged for new common shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund with an equal aggregate net asset value. In addition, each Fund has one or more series of Remarketable Variable Rate MuniFund Term Preferred Shares (“RVMTP Shares”) outstanding. As part of each Merger, the outstanding RVMTP Shares of each Acquired Fund will, in effect, be exchanged for RVMTP Shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund with an aggregate liquidation preference equal to, and other terms that are substantially identical to, the corresponding series of RVMTP Shares of each such Acquired Fund.

The Mergers are currently expected to be completed on or about August 1, 2025, subject to PIMCO’s market outlook and operational considerations and the satisfaction of applicable regulatory requirements and customary closing conditions. In the event the completion of the Mergers is delayed, PIMCO will issue a press release notifying Fund shareholders of the new expected completion date.

The holders of the RVMTP Shares of each Acquired Fund have been asked to consent to the applicable Merger, and the consummation of a Merger with respect to each such Acquired Fund is contingent upon the consent of the holders of its RVMTP Shares, as applicable. No further action is needed from common or preferred shareholders of any Fund.

In light of the existing similarities in the Funds’ investment strategies and holdings, PIMCO does not currently expect to materially restructure any Acquired Fund’s portfolio or reposition its holdings prior to the Mergers in order to align with the applicable Acquiring Fund’s investment strategies. However, as of the close of business today through the closing of the Mergers, each Acquired Fund will be in a “transition period” during which PIMCO may reposition the Acquired Fund’s assets to prepare to transfer such assets to the corresponding Acquiring Fund, as needed, depending on market conditions and each Acquiring Fund’s portfolio holdings prior to the Mergers. During this time, an Acquired Fund may not be pursuing its investment objective and strategies, and limitations on permissible investments and investment restrictions will not apply.
