  • MIL-OSI USA: Lee Introduces America First Deregulation for Coastal Trade

    WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) introduced three pieces of legislation today to repeal and reverse the effects of the overreaching Passenger Vessel Services Act of 1886 (PVSA). Senator Lee’s three-pronged approach will strengthen America’s economy while protecting American jobs and businesses by repealing PVSA and eliminating its burdensome regulations.

    “Red tape around America’s ports is strangling our economy and boosting foreign interests,” said Senator Mike Lee. “Current law protects ships that haven’t existed for decades and creates ridiculous requirements, forcing cruise ships to take Americans to foreign ports instead of their own cities. My legislation will repeal these outdated regulations, protect American jobs, and put our economy first.”

    Background:

    The Passenger Vessel Services Act (PVSA) is an outdated regulation intended to protect America’s coastal trade and tourism by restricting the domestic waterborne transportation of passengers only to ships that are U.S.-built, U.S.-flagged, and largely U.S.-crewed and -owned. This regulation was meant to insulate America’s coastal industries from foreign competition – with one exemption for ships making stops at “distant foreign ports.”

    In practice, however, PVSA has stunted America’s economy by complicating trade practices and incentivizing foreign travel over American tourism. For example, because the United States has produced no large cruise ships in over sixty years, virtually any of these vessels moving passengers from one American port to another is essentially required by law to stop at a “distant foreign port” in order to legalize its domestic American travel. This means America is shipping its tourism economy to other countries in order to protect American-made cruise ships that no longer exist.

    Far from an America First approach, PVSA regulations favor foreign economies and special interests.

    Senator Lee’s legislation will cut through the red tape strangling America’s coastal economy by repealing PVSA, eliminating its requirement for U.S.-built vessels, and exempting large passenger ships from PVSA requirements.

    The Open America’s Ports Act:

    • Repeals the Passenger Vessel Services Act (PVSA).

    The Protecting Jobs in American Ports Act:

    • Repeals the section of PVSA barring non-U.S.-built vessels from standard treatment at American ports.

    The Safeguarding American Tourism Act:

    • Exempts large passenger vessels (those with 800 or more passenger berths) from PVSA restrictions.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Cornyn Blasts Democrats for Slow-Walking Trump Nominees, Undermining American People

    WASHINGTON – Today on the floor, U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) blasted Senate Democrats for their historic slow-walking of Pres. Trump’s nominees and for undermining the will of the American people and expressed his view that Senate Republicans will need to consider taking steps to speed up confirmations should Democrats not relent in their obstruction. Excerpts of Sen. Cornyn’s remarks are below, and video can be found here.

    “[My] Democratic colleagues here in the Senate have reflexively and mindlessly opposed President Trump’s nominees.”

    “We have confirmed 107 of them, while 147 lower-level but critical nominees are still waiting to be confirmed by the Senate.”

    “These include many ambassadors to key allies around the world that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has voted out of Committee.”

    “To date, Senate Democrats have allowed voice votes or given unanimous consent on exactly zero of President Trump’s civilian nominees.”

    “Senate Democrats’ partisan obstruction is making our country less safe. It’s making American foreign policy less effective, and it’s ceding the field to our adversaries.”

    “If our Democratic colleagues do not relent on this needless and mindless obstruction, Senate Republicans will have to consider what additional steps we need to take in order to expedite this process.”

    “Our Democratic colleagues seem unwilling to accept the fact that President Trump actually won the election, receiving a mandate from the American people.”

    “We owe it to the American people, we owe it to President Trump, we owe it to these nominees who volunteered to serve their country to vote on these nominees without further delay.”

  • MIL-OSI USA News: “Absolute Blockbuster”: New GDP Report Shows Explosive Growth in Trump’s Economy

    Source: US Whitehouse

    With U.S. economic growth surging in the second quarter, President Donald J. Trump has proven the so-called “experts” wrong once again as he presides over tame inflation, blue-collar wage growth, explosive job creation, and a “Made in America” boom.

    Here’s what they’re saying about today’s GDP report:

    Economist E.J. Antoni: “This GDP report, I mean, really, is an absolute blockbuster. It completely defies expectation. It is not only a good headline number, it has good internals, as well.”

    Economist Steve Moore: “This is an amazing number … We’re seeing lots of jobs. We’re seeing tame inflation. It is really a beautiful picture … It’s hard to see anything to complain about. I’m sure Democrats will find something they don’t like.”

    Bullseye Brief author Adam Johnson: “The GDP Price Index was only 2% and the expectation was 2.2%. In other words, we have an economy growing at 3%; we have inflation at 2%. That’s the best of both words, so I’m very positive on that report.”

    Job Creators Network CEO Alfredo Ortiz: “The U.S. economy grew by an annualized 3% in the second quarter of the year—yet another data point that supports an interest rate cut by the Fed. Trump’s three-legged stool is working: balancing trade, cutting taxes, and slashing regulations are creating an economic boom.”

    Navy Federal Credit Union Chief Economist Heather Long: “The word of the summer for the economy is ‘resilient.’”

    CNN’s Wolf Blitzer: “Welcome news for the U.S. economy.”

    CNN’s Matt Egan: “GDP, the broadest measure of the U.S. economy, it did rebound in the second quarter. Three percent — that is a solid number and it also beat expectations.”

    Benzinga’s Piero Cingari: “The U.S. economy roared back robustly in the second quarter, with gross domestic product rebounding well above expectations—offering President Donald Trump a timely economic victory to celebrate.”

    CNBC’s Joe Kernen: “This three percent, with the market at new highs and, really, we haven’t seen inflation go up … none of these ‘horrible things’ have happened.”

    CNBC’s Rick Santelli: “There’s no doubt that this is some success. We’re seeing more horsepower. We’re seeing better equities. Inflation? Inflation really hasn’t changed much in the last year or so.”

    Politico: “The surge in growth is a win for an administration that’s been battling widespread perceptions that Trump’s economic agenda is causing more harm than good … But for now, the GDP — the total value of all goods and services produced in the U.S. — is expanding at a healthy clip.”

    USA TODAY columnist Nicole Russell: “Thanks to President Donald Trump’s bold policies, it appears that the United States will avoid a recession this year − one that so many liberals were predicting only months ago. Will Democrats put politics aside and applaud as the American economy shows a strength and resilience that so many of them doubted? Probably not.”

    CBS News: “The number represents a surprising turnaround from the first three months of 2025 … The new data also shows consumers increased spending since the last quarter, with a growth of 1.4%, up from 0.5% from January to March.”

    ABC News: “The U.S. economy expanded more than expected as President Donald Trump’s tariffs took hold over recent months, federal government data on Wednesday showed … The reading amounted to sturdy economic growth, suggesting the economy has continued to avert a significant tariff-induced cooldown. A boost in consumer spending helped propel the economic surge.”

    CNBC: “The U.S. economy grew at a much stronger-than-expected pace in the second quarter, powered by a turnaround in the trade balance and renewed consumer strength.”

    Bloomberg: US Economy Rebounds With 3% GDP Growth

    The Wall Street Journal: “The U.S. economy grew at a 3.0% annual rate in the second quarter, exceeding expectations … Trump’s priorities, including tariffs and deportations, haven’t had a major [negative] economic impact thus far.”


    President Donald J. Trump: “2Q GDP JUST OUT: 3%, WAY BETTER THAN EXPECTED! ‘Too Late’ MUST NOW LOWER THE RATE. No Inflation! Let people buy, and refinance, their homes!”

    Vice President JD Vance: “Trump economy keeps defying the experts. Strong growth!”

    Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent: “Real GDP grew 3% in Q2, surpassing expectations. Consumer spending is up, and inflation is cooling. This is what an America First economy looks like, and the best is yet to come.”

    Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick: “GDP just surged to 3% and the Trump Economy has officially arrived. Biden’s first quarter is behind us, and growth is already accelerating. President Trump’s tariff policies have drawn historic investments and opened up global markets for U.S. businesses. Congratulations America: 3 percent today, and we’re just getting started.”

    Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer: “Thanks to @POTUS, working families are thriving and our economy is booming”

    National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett: “There’s really strong growth, really strong income growth, we’ve got a huge reduction in government spending … Every single thing about this GDP release has shown strength.”

    Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: “Today, GDP growth came in above market expectations, and yesterday, consumer confidence rose. Americans trust in President Trump’s America First economic agenda that continues to prove the so-called ‘experts’ wrong. President Trump has reduced America’s reliance on foreign products, boosted investment in the US, and created thousands of jobs — delivering on his promise to Make America Wealthy Again. The data is clear and there are no more excuses, now is the time for ‘too late’ Powell to cut the rates!”

    Counselor to the Secretary of the Treasury Joseph Lavorgna: “Q2 real #GDP expands 3.0%, above consensus expectations! Passage of the #OBBB and the CapEx comeback which is already underway will power a second half boom and beyond.”

  • MIL-OSI USA News: Suspending Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries

    Source: US Whitehouse

    class=”has-text-align-left”>By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), section 604 of the Trade Act of 1974, as amended (19 U.S.C. 2483), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code, it is hereby ordered:

    Section 1.  Background.  In Executive Order 14193 of February 1, 2025 (Imposing Duties To Address the Flow of Illicit Drugs Across Our Northern Border), I declared a national emergency regarding the unusual and extraordinary threat to the safety and security of Americans, including the public health crisis caused by fentanyl and other illicit drugs and the failure of Canada to do more to arrest, seize, detain, or otherwise intercept drug trafficking organizations, other drug and human traffickers, criminals at large, and illicit drugs.  In that order, I determined that it was necessary and appropriate to, among other things, suspend duty-free de minimis treatment under 19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C) for articles described in section 2(a) and section 2(b) of that order.  In Executive Order 14226 of March 2, 2025 (Amendment to Duties To Address the Flow of Illicit Drugs Across Our Northern Border), I paused the suspension of duty-free de minimis treatment on such articles until I received a notification from the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary) that adequate systems are in place to fully and expeditiously process and collect duties for such articles that would otherwise be eligible for duty-free de minimis treatment.

    In Executive Order 14194 of February 1, 2025 (Imposing Duties To Address the Situation at Our Southern Border), I declared a national emergency regarding the unusual and extraordinary threat to the safety and security of Americans, including the public health crisis caused by fentanyl and other illicit drugs and the failure of Mexico to do more to arrest, seize, detain, or otherwise intercept drug trafficking organizations, other drug and human traffickers, criminals at large, and illicit drugs.  In that order, I determined that it was necessary and appropriate to, among other things, suspend duty-free de minimis treatment under 19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C) for articles described in section 2(a) of that order.  In Executive Order 14227 of March 2, 2025 (Amendment to Duties To Address the Situation at Our Southern Border), I paused the suspension of duty-free de minimis treatment on such articles until I received a notification from the Secretary that adequate systems are in place to fully and expeditiously process and collect duties for such articles that would otherwise be eligible for duty-free de minimis treatment.

    In Executive Order 14195 of February 1, 2025 (Imposing Duties To Address the Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain in the People’s Republic of China), I declared a national emergency regarding the unusual and extraordinary threat from the failure of the Government of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) to arrest, seize, detain, or otherwise intercept chemical precursor suppliers, money launderers, other transnational criminal organizations, criminals at large, and illicit drugs.  In that order, I determined that it was necessary and appropriate to, among other things, suspend duty-free de minimis treatment under 19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C) for articles described in section 2(a) of that order.  In Executive Order 14200 of February 5, 2025 (Amendment to Duties Addressing the Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain in the People’s Republic of China), I paused the suspension of duty-free de minimis treatment for articles described in section 2(a) of Executive Order 14195 until I received a notification from the Secretary that adequate systems are in place to fully and expeditiously process and collect duties for such articles that would otherwise be eligible for duty-free de minimis treatment.

    I subsequently received notification from the Secretary that adequate systems have been established to process and collect duties for articles of the PRC and Hong Kong that would otherwise be eligible for duty-free de minimis treatment, and in Executive Order 14256 of April 2, 2025 (Further Amendment to Duties Addressing the Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain in the People’s Republic of China as Applied to Low-Value Imports), I suspended duty-free de minimis treatment under 19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C) for products of the PRC and Hong Kong described in section 2(a) of Executive Order 14195, as amended by Executive Order 14228 (Further Amendment to Duties Addressing the Synthetic Opioid Supply Chain in the People’s Republic of China).  In addition, I instructed the Secretary to submit a report regarding the impact of Executive Order 14256 on American industries, consumers, and supply chains and to make recommendations for further action as he deems necessary.

    In Executive Order 14257 of April 2, 2025 (Regulating Imports With a Reciprocal Tariff To Rectify Trade Practices That Contribute to Large and Persistent Annual United States Goods Trade Deficits), I declared a national emergency with respect to underlying conditions indicated by the large and persistent annual U.S. goods trade deficits.  I also provided that duty-free de minimis treatment under 19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C) would remain available for products described in section 3(a) of that order until I received a notification by the Secretary that adequate systems are in place to fully and expeditiously process and collect duties applicable for articles otherwise eligible for duty-free de minimis treatment.

    The Secretary has notified me that adequate systems are now in place to fully and expeditiously process and collect duties for articles otherwise eligible for duty-free de minimis treatment on a global basis, including for products described in section 2(a) and section 2(b) of Executive Order 14193, section 2(a) of Executive Order 14194, and section 3(a) of Executive Order 14257.

    In my judgment, I determine that it is still necessary and appropriate to suspend duty-free de minimis treatment under 19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C) in the manner and for the articles described below to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threats, which have their source in whole or substantial part outside the United States, to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States. 

    I determine that it is necessary and appropriate to suspend duty-free de minimis treatment under 19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C) for certain Canadian goods to deal with the emergency declared in Executive Order 14193, as amended.  In my judgment, this suspension is necessary and appropriate to ensure that the tariffs imposed by Executive Order 14193, as amended, are effective in addressing the emergency declared in Executive Order 14193 and that the purpose of this action and other actions to address the emergency declared in Executive Order 14193 is not undermined.  For example, many shippers go to great lengths to evade law enforcement and hide illicit substances in imports that go through international commerce.  These shippers conceal the true contents of shipments sent to the United States through deceptive shipping practices.  Some of the techniques employed by these shippers to conceal the true contents of the shipments, the identity of the distributors, and the country of origin of the imports include the use of re-shippers in the United States, false invoices, fraudulent postage, and deceptive packaging.  The risks of evasion, deception, and illicit-drug importation are particularly high for low-value articles that have been eligible for duty-free de minimis treatment.

    Independently, I determine that it is necessary and appropriate to suspend duty-free de minimis treatment under 19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C) for certain Mexican goods to deal with the emergency declared in Executive Order 14194, as amended.  In my judgment, and for substantially similar reasons as above, this suspension is necessary and appropriate to ensure that the tariffs imposed by Executive Order 14194, as amended, are effective in addressing the emergency declared in Executive Order 14194 and that the purpose of this action and other actions to address the emergency declared in Executive Order 14194 is not undermined.

    Independently, and after considering information newly provided by the Secretary, among other things, I determine that it is still necessary and appropriate to continue to suspend duty-free de minimis treatment under 19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C) for certain goods of the PRC and Hong Kong to deal with the emergency declared in Executive Order 14195, as amended.  In my judgment, and for substantially similar reasons as above, this suspension is still necessary and appropriate to ensure that the tariffs imposed by Executive Order 14195, as amended, are effective in addressing the emergency declared in Executive Order 14195 and that the purpose of this action and other actions to address the emergency declared in Executive Order 14195 is not undermined.

    Also independently, I determine that it is necessary and appropriate to suspend duty-free de minimis treatment under 19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C) on a global basis to deal with the emergency declared in Executive Order 14257, as amended.  In my judgment, this suspension is necessary and appropriate to ensure that the tariffs imposed by Executive Order 14257, as amended, are not evaded and are effective in addressing the emergency declared in Executive Order 14257 and that the purpose of this action and other actions to address the emergency declared in Executive Order 14257 is not undermined.

    Each of my determinations to suspend or continue to suspend duty-free de minimis treatment under 19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C) are independent from the other.  And each determination is made only for the purpose to deal with the respective emergency and not for the purpose of dealing with another emergency.

    Sec. 2.  Suspension of Duty-Free de minimis Treatment.  (a)  The duty-free de minimis exemption provided under 19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C) shall no longer apply to any shipment of articles not covered by 50 U.S.C. 1702(b), regardless of value, country of origin, mode of transportation, or method of entry.  Accordingly, all such shipments, except those sent through the international postal network, shall be subject to all applicable duties, taxes, fees, exactions, and charges.  International postal shipments not covered by 50 U.S.C. 1702(b) shall be subject to the duty rates described in section 3 of this order.  Entry for all shipments that — prior to the effective date of this order — qualified for the de minimis exemption, except for shipments sent through the international postal network, shall be filed using an appropriate entry type in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) by a party qualified to make such entry.

    (b)  Shipments sent through the international postal network that would otherwise qualify for the de minimis exemption under 19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C) shall pass free of any duties except those specified in section 3 of this order, and without the preparation of an entry by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), until such time as CBP establishes a new entry process and publishes that process in the Federal Register.  

    Sec. 3.  Duty Rates for International Postal Shipments.  (a)  Transportation carriers delivering shipments to the United States through the international postal network, or other parties if qualified in lieu of such transportation carriers, must collect and remit duties to CBP using the methodology described in either subsection (b) or (c) of this section.  Each transportation carrier shall apply the same methodology across all covered shipments during any given period but may change its methodology no more than once per calendar month, or on another schedule determined to be appropriate by CBP, upon providing at least 24 hours’ notice to CBP.

    (b)  A duty equal to the effective IEEPA tariff rate applicable to the country of origin of the product shall be assessed on the value of each dutiable postal item (package) containing goods entered for consumption.

    (c)  A specific duty shall be assessed on each package containing goods entered for consumption, based on the effective IEEPA tariff rate applicable to the country of origin of the product as follows:

    (i)    Countries with an effective IEEPA tariff rate of less than 16 percent:  $80 per item;

    (ii)   Countries with an effective IEEPA tariff rate between 16 and 25 percent (inclusive):  $160 per item; and

    (iii)  Countries with an effective IEEPA rate above 25 percent:  $200 per item.

    (d)  For all international postal shipments subject to the methodologies described in subsections (b) and (c) of this section, the country of origin of the article must be declared to CBP.

    (e)  The specific duty methodology provided for in subsection (c) of this section shall be available for transportation carriers to select for a period of 6 months from the effective date of this order.  After such time all shipments to the United States through the international postal network must comply with the ad valorem duty methodology in subsection (b) of this section.

    (f)  Shipments sent through the international postal network that are subject to antidumping and countervailing duties or a quota must continue to be entered under an appropriate entry type in ACE to the extent required by all applicable regulations.

    Sec. 4.  Implementation.  (a)  The requirements and procedures established by sections 2 and 3 of this order shall be effective with respect to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on August 29, 2025.

    (b)  The provisions of this order supersede section 2 of Executive Order 14256, as amended, with respect to goods entered for consumption, or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, on or after 12:01 a.m. eastern daylight time on August 29, 2025.

    (c)  Consistent with applicable law, the Secretary of Homeland Security is directed and authorized to take all necessary actions to implement and effectuate this order — including through temporary suspension or amendment of regulations or through notices in the Federal Register and by adopting rules, regulations, or guidance — and to employ all powers granted to the President by IEEPA as may be necessary to implement and effectuate this order.  The Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the United States International Trade Commission (ITC), shall determine whether modifications to the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States are necessary to effectuate this order and may make such modifications through notice in the Federal Register.  The Secretary of Homeland Security shall consult with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Attorney General, the Secretary of Commerce, the United States Trade Representative, the ITC, and the Postmaster General, where appropriate.  The Secretary of Homeland Security may, consistent with applicable law, redelegate any of these functions within the Department of Homeland Security.  All executive departments and agencies shall take all appropriate measures within their authority to implement this order.

    (d)  To ensure remittance of duties in accordance with this order, and to assure compliance with other legal requirements, CBP is authorized to require a basic importation and entry bond as described in 19 C.F.R. 113.62 for informal entries valued at or less than $2,500.  Any carrier that transports international postal shipments to the United States, by any mode of transportation, must have an international carrier bond as described in 19 C.F.R. 113.64 to ensure payment of the duties described in section 3 of this order.  CBP is authorized to ensure that the international carrier bonds required by this subsection are sufficient to account for the duties described in section 3 of this order.

    Sec. 5Definition.  As used in this order, the term “effective IEEPA tariff rate” means the total duty rate imposed on articles to address a national emergency declared under IEEPA, including Executive Order 14257, as amended; Executive Order 14193; as amended, Executive Order 14194, as amended; and Executive Order 14195, as amended, in accordance with the stacking rules set out in Executive Order 14289 of April 29, 2025 (Addressing Certain Tariffs on Imported Articles), and any subsequent order or proclamation addressing stacking or the applicability of tariffs imposed under IEEPA.

    Sec. 6.  Severability.  (a)  If any provision of this order or the application of any provision of this order to any individual or circumstance is held to be invalid, the remainder of this order and the application of its provisions to any other individuals or circumstances shall not be affected.

    (b)(i)  If the additional duties imposed under Executive Order 14193, as amended, Executive Order 14194, as amended, Executive Order 14195, as amended, or Executive Order 14257, as amended, are held to be invalid, the suspension of, or continued suspension of, duty-free de minimis treatment, as detailed in this order, shall not be affected.  Duty-free de minimis treatment would still be suspended, whether pursuant to my authority under 50 U.S.C. 1702(a)(1)(B) to “regulate . . . importation” or my authority under that provision to “nullify” or “void” “exercising any right . . . or privilege with respect to . . . any property,” in the way and to the extent explained in this order, to deal with the emergencies declared in Executive Order 14193, as amended, Executive Order 14194, as amended, Executive Order 14195, as amended, or Executive Order 14257, as amended.  Such suspensions are still necessary and appropriate to address the unusual and extraordinary threats to the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States.  Each determination to suspend or continue to suspend duty-free de minimis treatment is still independent from the other determination and made only with the purpose to deal with the respective emergency and not for the purpose of dealing with another emergency.  CBP is directed and authorized to take all necessary actions consistent with applicable law to implement and effectuate this order in line with this section ‑- including through temporary suspension or amendment of regulations or through notices in the Federal Register and by adopting rules, regulations, or guidance — and to employ all powers granted to the President by IEEPA as may be necessary to implement and effectuate this order in line with this section.

    (ii)  Duty-free de minimis treatment under 19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C) shall remain available for postal shipments until notification by the Secretary to the President that adequate systems are in place to fully and expeditiously process and collect duties applicable for postal shipments otherwise eligible for duty-free de minimis treatment.  After such notification, duty-free de minimis treatment under 19 U.S.C. 1321(a)(2)(C) shall not be available for postal shipments.

    Sec7.  General Provisions.  (a)  Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise affect:

    (i)   the authority granted by law to an executive

    department or agency, or the head thereof; or

    (ii)  the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

    (b)  This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.

    (c)  This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

    (d)  The costs for publication of this order shall be borne by the Department of Homeland Security.

  • MIL-OSI USA: LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON HISTORIC LAWSUIT AGAINST THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION

    Source: United States House of Representatives – Congressman Hakeem Jeffries (8th District of New York)

    Today, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries released the following statement:

    Over the last several months, the Trump administration has repeatedly and unlawfully blocked Members of Congress from carrying out oversight of potential abuses in our immigration detention system. Today, Democratic Members of Congress are fighting back with a first-of-its-kind lawsuit asserting our constitutional responsibility to serve as a check-and-balance on the executive branch and its weaponization of immigration enforcement.

    Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security is undermining our values as a nation of immigrants and one anchored in the rule of law. ICE and DHS have repeatedly and illegally arrested and detained American citizens and lawful permanent residents without due process. These extreme tactics, like raiding churches and schools and unleashing masked ICE agents on law-abiding communities, are extreme and unacceptable. The Trump administration is determined to hide the truth from Congress and the American people. House Democrats will not be silenced or intimidated.

    This is an all-hands-on-deck effort, and I thank my colleagues for their leadership in bringing this groundbreaking lawsuit forward, including: the Congressional Hispanic Caucus led by Chair Adriano Espaillat, the Rapid Response Task Force and Litigation Working Group helmed by Assistant Democratic Leader Joe Neguse and Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin, Homeland Security Committee Ranking Member Bennie Thompson, Oversight and Government Reform Committee Ranking Member Robert Garcia, a group of the Members putting themselves on the frontline of this fight including Representatives Lou Correa, Jason Crow, Veronica Escobar, Dan Goldman, Jimmy Gomez, Raul Ruiz and Norma Torres and our partners at Democracy Forward and American Oversight.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Casten, 92 House Democrats Demand Oversight Into Humanitarian Efforts in Gaza Amid Starvation Crisis

    Source: United States House of Representatives – Representative Sean Casten (IL-06)

    July 30, 2025

    Washington, D.C. — U.S. Congressman Sean Casten (IL-06) led 92 House Democrats in a letter to Secretary of State Marco Rubio demanding an investigation into the ownership structure and operation of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a private, unqualified U.S.-linked aid organization at the center of the worsening starvation and humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

    A copy of the letter can be found here.

    GHF is a U.S.-linked aid organization with no prior experience in humanitarian aid and operates under opaque funding arrangements. GHF received a $30 million grant from the State Department, despite significant internal objections from USAID officials that the group’s funding plan failed to meet the “minimum technical or budgetary standards.” In their letter, the lawmakers criticize the organization’s lack of qualifications, noting that neither of the private firms contracted by GHF to manage distribution sites in Gaza has prior experience in humanitarian work, nor does GHF Executive Chairman Johnnie Moore, who is a close ally of President Donald Trump.

    “We have serious concerns with the operations of GHF, a newly established, private, U.S.-linked organization with no prior humanitarian experience, and the possibility that it could become the sole or primary aid provider in Gaza,” the lawmakers wrote. “…Providing secure and efficient humanitarian assistance to Palestinians is not only a moral obligation—it is also vital to Israel’s long-term security and the safe return of Israeli hostages. Enhancing aid operations is essential to stabilizing the region and achieving lasting peace.”

    In July 2025, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, a panel developed by the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization, issued a report warning that “the worst-case scenario of Famine is currently playing out in the Gaza Strip.” Netanyahu’s blockade and GHF’s dangerously mismanaged aid sites are directly contributing to the starvation crisis.

    The lawmakers also expressed concern regarding disturbing violence at GHF distribution sites, where flawed distribution methods have caused mass panic and mass casualties.

    GHF operates only four aid distribution sites in Gaza using a reckless first-come, first-served model that has resulted in deadly chaos. At least 1,000 Palestinians have reportedly been killed while attempting to access aid near GHF sites, with reports describing Israeli soldiers and U.S. contractors opening fire on desperate civilians. One former contractor said he was instructed to “shoot to kill and ask questions later.”

    “Instead of using traditional aid distribution methods, based on internationally agreed-upon humanitarian principles, GHF provides food on a first-come, first-served basis,” the lawmakers continued. “As a result, when centers open, large crowds of Palestinians rush to the centers. In these situations, there appear to be few restrictions on the use of lethal force by Israeli soldiers and American contractors in the vicinity.”

Casten, the letter was signed by Amo, Gabe; Ansari, Yassamin; Balint, Becca; Barragán, Nanette; Bera, Ami; Bonamici, Suzanne; Brownley, Julia; Brown, Shontel; Carbajal, Salud; Carson, André; Carter, Troy; Castro, Joaquin; Chu, Judy; Cleaver, Emanuel; Cohen, Steve; Courtney, Joe; Craig, Angie; Crow, Jason; Davis, Danny; Dean, Madeleine; DeGette, Diana; DeLauro, Rosa; Deluzio, Christopher; DeSaulnier, Mark; Dexter, Maxine; Dingell, Debbie; Doggett, Lloyd; Escobar, Veronica; Fields, Cleo; Foster, Bill; Foushee, Valerie; Frost, Maxwell; Garcia, Robert; Garcia, Sylvia; Green, Al; Harder, Josh; Hayes, Jahana; Houlahan, Chrissy; Hoyle, Val; Huffman, Jared; Jackson, Jonathan; Jacobs, Sara; Johnson, Henry; Kaptur, Marcy; Keating, William; Kelly, Robin; Khanna, Ro; Larsen, Rick; Larson, John; Leger Fernandez, Teresa; Lofgren, Zoe; Lynch, Stephen; Magaziner, Seth; Matsui, Doris; McBride, Sarah; McClellan, Jennifer; McCollum, Betty; McGovern, James; Moore, Gwen; Mullin, Kevin; Nadler, Jerrold; Norton, Eleanor; Ocasio-Cortez, Alexandria; Panetta, Jimmy; Pappas, Chris; Pelosi, Nancy; Pettersen, Brittany; Pingree, Chellie; Pocan, Mark; Pressley, Ayanna; Quigley, Mike; Randall, Emily; Ruiz, Raul; Salinas, Andrea; Schakowsky, Janice; Schrier, Kim; Scott, Robert; Smith, Adam; Sorensen, Eric; Stansbury, Melanie; Swalwell, Eric; Takano, Mark; Thompson, Bennie; Thompson, Mike; Tokuda, Jill; Tonko, Paul; Trahan, Lori; Underwood, Lauren; Vasquez, Gabe; Velázquez, Nydia; Watson Coleman, Bonnie; and Williams, Nikema.

    Dear Secretary Rubio:

    As supporters of a strong U.S.-Israel relationship and advocates for humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza, we write to seek clarity on the ownership structure and operation of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).

    More than two million people in Gaza currently face “critical levels” of hunger. We welcome efforts to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid and share the objective of ensuring that Hamas does not divert such aid. However, we have serious concerns with the operations of GHF, a newly established, private, U.S.-linked organization with no prior humanitarian experience, and the possibility that it could become the sole or primary aid provider in Gaza. We agree that delivering aid promptly and securely is crucial. However, GHF’s practices and finances require increased transparency and oversight to ensure aid reaches the intended beneficiaries effectively, safely, and in accordance with international standards.

    On June 24, 2025, the Department of State (DOS) approved a $30 million grant for GHF. Jeremy Lewin, a current DOS official and former Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) employee, reportedly moved forward with the grant’s approval despite 58 internal objections that U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) staff experts wanted GHF to resolve before approving funding, and an assessment in a memorandum from an acting USAID official that GHF’s funding plan failed to meet required “minimum technical or budgetary standards.” As lawmakers entrusted with the authority to appropriate taxpayer funds, which were undoubtedly used for GHF’s grant, we find this troubling.

    Moreover, GHF has not published a complete list of its sponsors. Registered in Delaware in February 2025, GHF also established an office in Geneva, Switzerland (which the Swiss government has since announced is to be dissolved) with the explicit intent of accommodating donors that “prefer to participate outside of the U.S. structure.” The foundation has publicly stated that it has received at least $119 million from “other government donors.” Furthermore, despite its public denial, the Israeli government has reportedly covertly contributed approximately $280 million USD to the new aid mechanism run by GHF. Full disclosure of GHF’s funding sources is imperative.

    GHF runs four aid distribution sites in Gaza. It contracts two American private firms, Safe Reach Solutions (SRS) and UG Solutions (UGS), to provide security and logistics, with some pricing models reportedly provided by Boston Consulting Group consultants, who reportedly regularly met with Israeli officials in connection with the consultants’ role in helping develop ideas for GHF’s operations. None of the groups have prior humanitarian experience, nor does GHFExecutive Chairman Johnnie Moore, a close ally of President Trump. As a result, these distribution centers appear to operate at a reduced capacity at an exorbitant cost, significantly exceeding the current operating costs of experienced humanitarian organizations.

    We are further alarmed at the widespread violence at GHF distribution centers. As of July 23, 2025, there have reportedly been at least 1,000 people killed while trying to access critical aid near GHF sites. Instead of using traditional aid distribution methods, based on internationally agreed-upon humanitarian principles, GHF provides food on a first-come, first-served basis. As a result, when centers open, large crowds of Palestinians rush to the centers. In these situations, there appear to be few restrictions on the use of lethal force by Israeli soldiers and American contractors in the vicinity. A former security contractor stated that he was instructed, “if you feel threatened, shoot – shoot to kill and ask questions later.” GHF centers offer desperately needed lifelines to those who receive aid without experiencing violence. However, the risk of violence, long wait times, and limited aid availability appear to force hundreds of thousands to choose between risking their lives or going without food.

    The operations of the GHF sites are widely criticized by experienced humanitarian organizations as being inefficient and dangerous, and violating internationally agreed-upon humanitarian principles. Notably, GHF’s inaugural Executive Director and former Marine, Jake Wood, resigned from the organization, citing that the organization no longer aligned with “humanitarian principles.”

    Providing secure and efficient humanitarian assistance to Palestinians is not only a moral obligation—it is also vital to Israel’s long-term security and the safe return of Israeli hostages. Enhancing aid operations is essential to stabilizing the region and achieving lasting peace. To address our concerns, we respectfully request responses to the following questions no later than August 14th, 2025:

    1. From which congressionally appropriated account does DOS’s $30 million grant for the GHF originate?

    2. What specific oversight mechanisms are in place to ensure that the GHF operates in accordance with U.S. and international humanitarian law and humanitarian principles of neutrality and impartiality?

    3. The DOS reportedly stated that GHF is subject to “rigorous oversight, including of GHF’s operations and finances.”

      1. What is DOS’s role in monitoring the daily operations and financial practices of GHF, and what is the reporting mechanism?

      2. Are the GHF and the private security contractors that it partners with to distribute assistance in compliance with U.S. standards (legal, regulatory, technical, budgetary, or otherwise) for humanitarian organizations?

    4. The $30 million grant to GHF was approved despite 58 internal objections that USAID staff experts wanted GHF to resolve before approving funding, and an assessment in a memorandum from an acting USAID official that GHF’s funding plan failed to meet required ‘minimum technical or budgetary standards.’ What were the details of their objections or concerns, and why were they overridden?

    5. What makes GHF more qualified than other humanitarian organizations with years of experience and the operational expertise needed to handle such a complex situation?

      1. What makes the newly appointed Executive Chairman, Rev. Johnnie Moore Jr., a man with no prior humanitarian experience, but a close relationship with President Trump, the right person to lead GHF?

    6. What steps is the U.S. government taking to address concerns about militarization at GHF’s aid sites, particularly regarding the involvement of U.S. private contractors and Israeli security forces?

    7. Is there a formal agreement or memo of understanding between the U.S. and GHF that outlines the foundation’s operational guidelines, transparency, and accountability measures? If so, please provide a copy or summary of these terms.

    8. Was the DOS involved in the decision-making processes that led to the establishment of only four aid distribution centers in Gaza to date? If so, please provide details of that communication.

    9. GHF refuses to publish its sources of funding, including the $119 million it received from “other government donors.” What is the complete and most current list of GHF’s donors?

    10. What are the details of the contracts between GHF, its contractors, Safe Reach Solutions (SRS), UGSolutions (UGS), and its aid providers?

      1. What does GHF pay per diem for security and logistics to SRS and UGS?

      2. Where does GHF source its aid packages from? How much does it pay for them?

    11. Has the U.S. conducted any oversight or reviews of GHF’s operations in light of recent criticisms related to overcrowding, militarization, and security concerns? If so, what were the findings?

    12. The Trump Administration is reportedly considering an additional $500 million grant to GHF using USAID funds. According to U.S. law, all NGO recipients of USAID grants are subject to a responsibility determination that certifies the NGO’s “necessary management competence…and that the applicant will practice mutually agreed upon methods of accountability for funds and other assets provided by USAID.”

      1. Will this funding be approved?

      2.  If so, what account will this funding come from?

    13. What steps will be taken to conduct the required “responsibility determination” certifying GHF’s competence and accountability?

    14. What specific benefits has GHF’s aid distribution model or operations provided for U.S. and Israeli interests that the U.S. government assesses may justify some of the apparent drawbacks of the GHF model and operations?

    15. Looking ahead, what information can the Administration share about the likely roles and potential roles of GHF and other humanitarian assistance providers in Gaza, respectively, under various scenarios (ceasefire, intensified conflict, post-conflict transition)? 

      1. What are the sources of this information?

      2. What factors will the Administration use to determine whether and how to provide U.S. support to GHF and/or other providers, while actively monitoring their compliance with applicable legal and other standards?

    16. How, if at all, will GHF coordinate with other humanitarian organizations already working in Gaza? Will GHF work within the already established coordinating mechanisms, and if so, how does it plan to do so?

    Thank you for your attention to this critical matter.

    Sincerely,

    ###

    Michael Meyers

    Carlsbad, Calif. – Today, Rep. Mike Levin (CA-49) recognized Michael Meyers, a Carlsbad native and founder of North County San Diego’s first local goalball team for the blind and visually impaired, as his July 2025 Constituent of the Month. 

    Michael was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, a degenerative eye disease, during high school and turned his disability into a force for local advocacy. While attending a rehabilitation program in Colorado, he discovered goalball, a team sport designed specifically for visually impaired athletes. After returning home to Carlsbad, he learned there were no local teams or programs that offered the sport. Michael worked with family and friends to launch a North County San Diego Goalball team earlier this year to provide this unique sporting opportunity to members of the community.  

    In just a few months, the team has grown to include more than 30 players and has drawn support from national leaders in adaptive sports, including Paralympic silver medalist Joseph Hamilton and former U.S. Men’s National Goalball Team head coach Matt Boyle.  

    Rep. Levin recognized Michael for his inspiring leadership and commitment to accessibility, health, and community inclusion.  

    See below for Rep. Levin’s statement recognizing Michael Meyers in the Congressional Record: 

    “Mr. Speaker, I am proud to recognize Michael Meyers as my July 2025 Constituent of the Month.  

    “Michael represents the best in our community. He is resilient, innovative, and committed to making our district more inclusive for individuals with disabilities. Michael saw a lack of recreational opportunities for people with visual impairments in our region and took it upon himself to create a solution. The goalball team he founded in North County San Diego is now helping dozens of visually impaired residents stay active, build confidence, and connect with one another.  

    “Michael’s work ensures that people who are blind or visually impaired have the chance to be part of a team, to challenge themselves, and to not sit on the sidelines. That spirit of inclusion and determination is exactly what makes our district special, and it is why I am honored to recognize Michael as my Constituent of the Month.” 

    ABOUT THE CONSTITUENT OF THE MONTH PROGRAM:  

    Rep. Levin’s Constituent of the Month program recognizes outstanding North County San Diego and South Orange County residents who have gone above and beyond to help their neighbors, give back to their community, and represent the best of our country. Rep Levin’s?June 2025 Constituent of the Month was Nani Love, a case manager and victim’s advocate at the North County LGBTQ Resource Center, and his May 2025 Constituent of the Month was Rohen Vargo, the founder of a student-run blood pressure screening clinic.

    Rep. Levin, health leaders & patients discuss impacts of devastating Medicaid cuts

    View full press conference here

    Vista, CA — On the eve of the 60th anniversary of Medicaid becoming law, Rep. Mike Levin (CA-49), health leaders, and patients condemned deep Medicaid and health care cuts enacted under the Republican budget law that threaten access to health care services for millions of Americans. The Republican budget will harm seniors, low-income families, and California’s health care system.

    President Trump signed into law the Republican budget, also called the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, on July 4th. The law makes the largest cuts to Medicaid in the program’s history and puts hospitals, emergency care, and Medicaid coverage at risk for nearly 15 million people, including two million people in California. The state expects billions in projected revenue losses?for health care providers, which is expected to reduce access to care. 

    “Medicaid has given millions of Americans access to care for six decades, but today, that promise is being broken,” said Rep. Levin. “This reckless law is a disaster for public health that will force millions of people off their insurance, raise premiums, and shut down hospitals and clinics. These cuts aren’t just numbers on a page, they’re real people who will lose access to life saving care and we can’t allow that to happen.” 

    The Republican budget law will:

    • Cut $1 trillion to Medicaid; 
    • Kick 15 million Americans off their health care coverage; 
    • Defund Planned Parenthood and impact over 1 million women;  
    • Increase premiums and copays for families nationwide; 
    • Impose paperwork requirements that could lock people out of coverage;  
    • Cut billions from hospital and clinics.  

    “This law rips health care away from families so billionaires can get tax breaks. We won’t stand for it, and I will continue fighting to protect Medicaid to ensure every American gets the care they deserve,” said Rep. Levin.

    Local health professionals on the ground described how the law puts critical services and patients at serious risk.   

    “At Gary and Mary West PACE, over 90% of the older adults we serve rely on Medicaid to access critical services that keep them health and independent in their homes,” said West PACE Community Engagement Director, Mary Jurgensen. “Across California, PACE programs serve nearly 22,000 seniors annually, each one counting on coordinated care, meals, therapy, and transportation that Medicaid funds support. The proposed Medicaid cuts in HR 1 threaten our ability to deliver these essential services and will place people at risk of losing access to life-sustaining care.” 

    Health leaders noted that in California, premiums are expected to soar. For those insured under Covered California, insurers are already seeking rate increases over 20%. Data from the House Budget Committee shows that more than 2 million people across California could lose health insurance, including children and seniors.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Secretary Hoskins Applauds the Professionalism of the Missouri Secretary of State’s Legal & Elections Teams Following Indictment of St. Louis County E

    Secretary Hoskins Applauds the Professionalism of the Missouri Secretary of State’s Legal & Elections Teams Following Indictment of St. Louis County Executive Sam Page

    JEFFERSON CITY, MO—Missouri Secretary of State Denny Hoskins today commended the outstanding work of the Legal and Elections divisions at the Missouri Secretary of State’s Office, whose investigation into possible misuse of public funds culminated in referral to the Missouri Attorney General’s Office.

    A St. Louis County grand jury has indicted County Executive Sam Page on two misdemeanor election charges and two felony theft charges. The indictment alleges that taxpayer dollars were used to fund a mailer opposing Proposition B in the April 8, 2025, ballot—a clear violation of state law prohibiting public officials from using government funds to influence ballot measures.

    “Our office takes its role in protecting fair and lawful elections extremely seriously,” said Secretary of State Hoskins. “I’m proud of the seasoned professionals in our Legal and Elections divisions whose experience, integrity, and diligence ensured this matter was thoroughly and professionally examined.”

    The Secretary of State’s Office referred the investigation initially to the St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office. Due to a conflict of interest, the case was reassigned and is now being handled by a special prosecutor within the Missouri Attorney General’s Office.

    “This process reflects the strength of checks and balances within Missouri’s government,” added Hoskins. “Thanks to the expertise of our teams, Missouri citizens can expect real accountability for the appropriate use of public funds—not political campaigning.”

    Secretary Hoskins reaffirmed that the Secretary of State’s Office remains committed to upholding the integrity of elections and public trust.

    Secretary Hoskins Highlights Ongoing Election Integrity Efforts

    JEFFERSON CITY, MO — Secretary of State Denny Hoskins today announced the latest developments in Missouri’s ongoing commitment to ensuring accurate, secure, and transparent voter rolls, reinforcing the state’s position as a national leader in election integrity.

    “Free and fair elections begin with clean voter rolls,” said Secretary Hoskins. “That’s why Missouri conducts regular, extensive voter registration list maintenance—and we’re strengthening those efforts with powerful new tools and partnerships. I thank President Trump and his administration for taking leadership on allowing real, common sense resources for local election authorities to make strides in election integrity.”

    In 2025 alone, as of the release, Missouri’s local election authorities removed more than 195,000 outdated or ineligible voter registrations. These removals include over 4,000 individuals with felony convictions and over 43,000 confirmed deceased registrations. Please note, list maintenance is ongoing.

    Thanks to new access to federal databases—including the Department of Homeland Security’s Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program and Social Security Administration records—Missouri is now better equipped than ever to identify noncitizens and deceased individuals on the voter rolls.

    Additionally, the Secretary of State’s Office is partnering with the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigations to investigate any non-citizens who have voted in Missouri. 

    The Secretary of State’s Office is also exploring memoranda of understanding (MOUs) with bordering and economically connected states to share data and enhance the accuracy of voter lists across state lines. These partnerships aim to provide additional safeguards against double registrations and unlawful voting.

    “These are not just numbers—they represent real accountability,” Hoskins said. “Behind each removal is a commitment to voter confidence, election integrity, and the rule of law. And none of it would be possible without the dedicated work of our local election authorities. Their efforts are essential to protecting our elections, and we thank them for their continued service to the people of Missouri.”

    Flood Safety

    • Know your area’s type of flood risk — visit FEMA’s Flood Map Service Center.
    • Have a flood emergency plan in place that includes considerations for your children, pets and neighbors.
    • If you live in a flood-prone area, document your belongings and valuables. Keep important documents in a waterproof container. Create digital, password-protected copies of important documents, pictures, and other items.
    • Obtain flood insurance coverage under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Homeowner’s policies do not cover flooding.
    • Monitor your local weather forecast and follow any warnings that may be broadcast.
    • If you are advised by emergency officials to take immediate action such as evacuation, do not wait – follow all orders promptly.
    • Traveling during a flood can be extremely dangerous. One foot of moving water can sweep a vehicle away. Never walk, swim or drive through flood waters. If you have doubts, remember: “Turn Around, Don’t Drown!”
    • Consider those with access and functional needs to determine if they are prepared for a flood emergency where they live and work.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Attorney General Bonta Throws Support Behind Case Challenging Trump Administration’s Illegal Tariffs

    Continues fighting on all fronts for businesses and consumers 

    OAKLAND — California Attorney General Rob Bonta today filed an amicus brief in Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump, a lawsuit challenging the tariffs President Trump imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). In April, Attorney General Bonta and Governor Newsom filed a lawsuit challenging President Trump’s unlawful use of power to levy tariffs via over a dozen executive orders under IEEPA. In the brief filed today in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, Attorney General Bonta and Governor Newsom argue that the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia was correct in holding that the Trump Administration’s interpretation of its authority under IEEPA is incorrect, that IEEPA’s language does not provide the authority to impose tariffs, and that President Trump’s IEEPA tariffs are unlawful (and that, much like California’s own case, the plaintiffs’ case was properly filed in district court, not the Court of International Trade). The brief urges the Court of Appeals to affirm the District Court’s decision.

    “As the country braces for continuous chaos from President Trump’s illegal tariffs, standing united to fight for American consumers and businesses is more important than ever,” said Attorney General Bonta. “Today, I urge the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to affirm the District Court’s decision that President Trump’s chaotic tariffs are unlawful — not one word in the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the Trump Administration’s vehicle for these tariffs, authorizes tariffs. These illegal tariffs will affect everything from the cost of essential household items like food and toilet paper to the cost of housing. The tariff chaos is a man-made crisis, and California families and industries will pay the price.”

    The case in question involves two family-owned educational-toy companies challenging the Trump Administration’s tariffs under IEEPA. In May, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia denied the Trump Administration’s motion to transfer the case to the Court of International Trade and instead retained jurisdiction, held that IEEPA does not authorize tariffs and that the Trump Administration’s IEEPA tariffs were unlawful, and granted the plaintiffs’ motion for an injunction. In the brief, Attorney General Bonta agrees and argues that the Court of Appeals should affirm the District Court’s well-reasoned decision. 

    Attorney General Bonta is committed to challenging the illegal tariffs that threaten California jobs, businesses, and consumers and has held roundtables in San Francisco and Los Angeles to learn about the impact of tariffs on California industry.

    On April 16, Attorney General Bonta and Governor Newsom filed a lawsuit challenging President Trump’s unlawful use of IEEPA to impose tariffs without the consent of Congress. In May, California filed a motion for a preliminary injunction with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California to stop the Trump Administration’s illegal tariffs while litigation in its case proceeds and filed an amicus brief in the Court of International Trade in Oregon v. Trump, another case also challenging President Trump’s illegal imposition of tariffs. In June, a judge granted California’s request for dismissal to allow the state to appeal its case challenging the Trump Administration’s illegal tariffs after the Administration asked that the case be transferred to the Court of International Trade — a motion that California opposed. The dismissal kept the case in California and allowed California to appeal to the Ninth Circuit. California’s case remains ongoing.

    State Provides Resources to Assist in Recovery at Fremont Plant Explosion

    LINCOLN, NE – The state of Nebraska is providing resources to assist in recovery operations at the Horizon Biofuels plant in Fremont. Three people, an adult and two children, have been missing since an explosion at the plant yesterday. A fire continues to burn at the structure.  

    Fourteen members of Nebraska Task Force One (NE-TF1) have been activated, including personnel with expertise in structural issues and a canine team. The group is also transporting equipment to the location that can be utilized should it become necessary.  They will join other emergency response teams that remain on the scene, including multiple law enforcement and fire departments. Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol continue to provide traffic control around the area. Representatives from the state Fire Marshal’s office are there as well. 

    Activation of NE-TF1 was authorized by Adjutant General Craig Strong, director of the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency (NEMA). Nebraska’s Emergency Management Act allows for the deployment of resources in response to emergencies and disasters. 

    Gov. Jim Pillen expressed his deep appreciation to the numerous agencies that have responded since yesterday.

    “This is obviously a difficult situation for the community and those first responders who are working diligently at the scene,” said Gov. Pillen. “Suzanne and I continue to extend our thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of those who were in the plant at the time of this tragic incident.”

  • MIL-OSI: Ozak AI Enters Stage 4 of Presale at $0.005 After Raising Over $1.5 Million in Early Rounds

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    ROAD TOWN, British Virgin Islands, July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Ozak AI has officially launched Stage 4 of its presale, pricing the $OZ token at $0.005 following strong momentum from previous rounds. With over $1.5 million already raised and more than 60 million tokens sold, the project is drawing increasing attention for its real-world AI utility and decentralized infrastructure model. The growing presale demand reflects investor confidence in Ozak AI’s ability to merge artificial intelligence with blockchain through practical applications in sectors such as finance, logistics, and automation.

    The model pricing has also drawn the attention of early adopters and intelligent investors, with a total of more than $1.50 million raised so far. Valuable upwards momentum, well-defined utility potential, and an ever-increasing interest of both retail and institutional communities of investors are making the presale of Ozak AI quite a trending subject.

    Real Utility vs. Demand: The Driving Force Behind Real-World Demand is Real Utility

    Ozak AI combines blockchain and artificial intelligence through a decentralized infrastructure network (DePIN), emphasizing real-time AI services and secure data handling. This innovative platform addresses practical challenges in finance, logistics, data security and automation by delivering decentralized AI solutions with real-world impact.

    The commitment to tangible utility has attracted strong investor interest during Ozak AI’s presale. The platform offers advanced features such as Prediction Agents (PAs), the Ozak Stream Network (OSN), EigenLayer AVS, Arbitrum Orbit integration, Ozak Data Vaults, AI-powered prediction agents, real-time data analytics, smart contract execution and more. These capabilities enable companies to scale efficiently, reduce costs, and make data-driven decisions—bringing AI functionality to where it is needed most.

    Next 500X AI Altcoin

    Enthusiastic Demand Speculates on Increased Confidence

    Ozak AI appears to be on the right track, with its strategic long-term growth approach resonating increasingly with investors. The token price has risen from $0.001 to $0.005 during the presale phases, marking a 400% increase so far. With a $1 target price, early investors could see a potential return on investment (ROI) of 20,000%. The $OZ token presale has already raised over $1.50 million, with more than 60.76 million $OZ tokens sold, reflecting strong demand and growing confidence even before the token is listed on exchanges.

    Every price level during the presale introduces more urgency to the presale, impelling people to participate early. Investors know that even at this stage (Stage 4: $0.005), the potential has a great way to go up, as additional exchange listings in the future will come up. The value promise is evident but convincing based on the idea that Ozak AI is all about providing working toolsets and platforms of AI in the real world. It is not a speculation that can be exciting, but a belief in products and their relevance in the market.

    What is So Special About Ozak AI That it May Bring Better ROI as Compared to Many Altcoins?

    The uniqueness of the Ozak AI is that it is hybrid in its utility. This project allows for the formation of a decentralized ecosystem of smart contracts, predictive algorithms, and autonomous apps by using both AI and blockchain. This is a synergy between the two most progressive technologies that will enable Ozak AI to perform even better than the traditional altcoins, which are based on the concept of single utility.

    Conclusion

    Ozak AI is proving to be more than just another blockchain project—it’s a real-world solution provider with a clear technological edge. From its low-cost, high-reward Stage 1 entry point of $0.001 to its current presale pricing of $0.005, every phase of its rollout reflects strong demand and purposeful growth. As the platform bridges the gap between AI and decentralized infrastructure, investor enthusiasm continues to rise.

  • MIL-OSI: Pathfinder Bancorp, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2025 Results

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    OSWEGO, N.Y., July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Pathfinder Bancorp, Inc. (“Pathfinder” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PBHC) announced its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025.

    The holding company for Pathfinder Bank (“the Bank”) reported net income attributable to common shareholders of $31,000, or less than $0.01 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $3.0 million or $0.47 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2025 and $2.0 million or $0.32 per share in the second quarter of 2024.

    Second Quarter 2025 Highlights and Key Developments

    • The Company continued to undertake proactive measures in the second quarter to mitigate credit risk and enhance asset quality metrics for the long term. These included the July 2025 sale of $9.3 million in nonperforming and classified loans associated with one local commercial relationship for a pre-tax loss of $3.1 million recorded as a second quarter 2025 lower of cost or market adjustment to loans held for sale (“LOCOM HFS adjustment”), representing $0.40 per diluted share net of tax, as well as $2.6 million in net charge offs (“NCOs”) that are reflected in provision expense of $1.2 million.
    • Nonperforming loans declined to $11.7 million at period end, improving by 11.7% during the second quarter and 52.3% from June 30, 2024. Nonperforming loans also declined to 1.28% of total loans at period end, improving from 1.45% on March 31, 2025 and 2.76% on June 30, 2024.
    • Total deposits were $1.22 billion at period end, compared to $1.26 billion on March 31, 2025 and $1.10 billion on June 30, 2024. During the second quarter of 2025, total balances declined on reductions in higher-cost time and money market accounts, as well as regular municipal deposit seasonality. Core deposits grew to 78.47% of total deposits at period end from 78.31% on March 31, 2025 and 67.98% on June 30, 2024.
    • Total loans were $909.7 million at period end, reflecting the move of $3.2 million in balances to held-for-sale status for the July 2025 sale of nonperforming and classified loans, compared to $912.2 million on March 31, 2025 and $888.3 million on June 30, 2024. Commercial loans grew to $549.1 million or 60.4% of total loans at period end, compared to $542.7 million on March 31, 2025 and $527.2 million on June 30, 2024.
    • Net interest income was $10.8 million and net interest margin (“NIM”) was 3.11% in the second quarter of 2025. Linked quarter results reflected 2024 interest recovered from loans removed from nonaccrual status and income from prepayment fees, adding approximately $347,000 to net interest income of $11.4 million and 10 basis points to NIM of 3.31%. Second quarter 2024 net interest income was $9.5 million and NIM was 2.78%.
    • The efficiency ratio was 65.66%, compared to 67.19% in the linked quarter and 74.36% in the year-ago period. The efficiency ratio, which is not a financial metric under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), is a measure that the Company believes is helpful to understanding its level of non-interest expense as a percentage of total revenue.
    • Pre-tax, pre-provision (“PTPP”) net income was $4.2 million, compared to $4.2 million in the linked quarter and $2.8 million in the year-ago period. PTPP net income, which is not a financial metric under GAAP, is a measure that the Company believes is helpful to understanding profitability without giving effect to income taxes and provision for credit losses.  

    “Pathfinder’s more exacting approach to proactive credit risk mitigation continues to be implemented, with measures taken to proactively address certain loans experiencing credit deterioration resulting in elevated charge offs and the sale of nonperforming and classified commercial loans associated with a single in-market commercial relationship,” said President and Chief Executive Officer James A. Dowd. “These steps were taken as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance Pathfinder’s asset quality and resilience over the long term.”

    Dowd added, “Growing our Central New York core deposit franchise remains an ongoing area of focus, as it continues to serve as a valuable source of low-cost funding for local, relationship-based lending opportunities with small- and middle-market businesses and consumers in our attractive regional markets.”

    Net Interest Income and Net Interest Margin
    Second quarter 2025 net interest income was $10.8 million, a decrease of $597,000, or 5.2%, from the first quarter of 2025. The decrease from the linked quarter was due in part to approximately $347,000 of first quarter 2025 net interest income attributed to 2024 interest recovered from loans removed from nonaccrual status and income from prepayment fees.

    A decrease in interest and dividend income of $259,000 from the linked quarter was attributed to average yield decreases of 22 basis points on loans, which benefited by 15 basis points from 2024 interest recovered from loans removed from nonaccrual status and income from prepayment fees in the first quarter of 2025. The interest and dividend income decrease was also attributed to 5 basis points on fed funds sold and interest-earning deposits, and 11 basis points on all interest-earning assets, partially offset by average yield increases on taxable and tax-exempt securities of 3 and 76 basis points, respectively. In addition, average loan balances declined by $4.9 million, while average balances of lower-yielding taxable securities increased by $18.5 million. The corresponding decrease in loan interest income and federal funds sold and interest-earning deposits was $566,000 and $21,000, respectively, partially offset by increases in taxable and tax-exempt securities income of $337,000 and $63,000, respectively. An increase in interest expense from the first quarter of 2025 of $338,000 was primarily attributed to a 5 basis point increase in the average cost of interest bearing deposits.

    Net interest margin was 3.11% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 3.31% in the first quarter 2025. The decrease of 20 basis points reflected lower average loan yields and higher average interest bearing deposit costs in the second quarter of 2025, as well as approximately 10 basis points of first quarter 2025 margin attributed to 2024 interest recovered from loans removed from nonaccrual status and income from prepayment fees.

    Second quarter 2025 net interest income was $10.8 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 14.1%, from the second quarter of 2024. An increase in interest and dividend income of $160,000 was primarily attributed to average yield increases of 11 basis points on loans and a $25.9 million increase in average loan balances. The corresponding increase in loan interest income was $617,000. A decrease in interest expense of $1.2 million was attributed to reductions in the average cost of interest bearing deposits and total interest-bearing liabilities of 40 basis points and 45 basis points, respectively, as well as reductions in brokered deposits and short-term borrowings expense associated with paydowns of brokered deposits and borrowings utilizing a portion of the low-cost liquidity provided by core deposit growth.

    Net interest margin was 3.11% in the second quarter of 2025 compared to 2.78% in the second quarter of 2024. The increase of 33 basis points reflected higher average loan yields and lower average deposit and borrowing costs in the second quarter of 2025, as compared to the year-ago period.

    Noninterest Income
    Second quarter 2025 noninterest income includes the $3.1 million LOCOM HFS adjustment, with an after-tax effect of $2.5 million or $0.40 per diluted share. Nonperforming and classified loans associated with one local commercial relationship dating back to 2013, with an original principal balance of $9.3 million and a June 30, 2025 principal balance of $6.3 million were sold in July 2025 for $3.2 million to an undisclosed financial buyer.

    Second quarter 2025 noninterest income totaled negative $1.5 million, reflecting the $3.1 million LOCOM HFS adjustment, and no longer includes contributions from the insurance agency business sold in October 2024. Noninterest income was $1.2 million in the linked quarter and $1.2 million, including $260,000 in insurance revenue, in the year-ago period.

    Compared to the linked quarter, second quarter 2025 noninterest income reflected increases of $179,000 in debit card interchange fees and $6,000 in service charges on deposit accounts, as well as a decrease of $6,000 in earnings and gain on bank owned life insurance (“BOLI”). Compared to the linked quarter, second quarter 2025 noninterest income also reflected increases of $202,000 in net unrealized gains on marketable equity securities, as well as decreases of $8,000 in net realized losses on sales and redemptions of investment securities and $4,000 in loan servicing fees.

    Compared to the year-ago period, second quarter 2025 noninterest income included increases of $50,000 in service charges on deposit accounts, as well as decreases of $11,000 in earnings and gain on BOLI, and $11,000 in debit card interchange fees. Compared to the year-ago period, second quarter 2025 noninterest income also reflected an increase of $559,000 in net unrealized gains on marketable equity securities, as well as decreases of $16,000 in net realized gains on sales and redemptions of investment securities and $15,000 in loan servicing fees.

    Noninterest Expense
    Noninterest expense totaled $8.1 million in the second quarter of 2025, including $595,000 in costs associated with the East Syracuse branch acquired in July 2024 and excluding costs for the insurance agency business sold in October 2024. Noninterest expense was $8.4 million in the linked quarter, including East Syracuse branch costs of $577,000, and $7.9 million in the year-ago period, including insurance agency costs of $232,000.

    Salaries and benefits were $4.5 million in the second quarter of 2025, in line with the linked quarter and increased $126,000 from the year-ago period. The increase from the second quarter of 2024 was primarily attributed to the July 2024 East Syracuse Branch Acquisition, which had $116,000 of total salary and benefit expenses in the second quarter of 2025. Excluding the East Syracuse branch, salaries and benefits increased $10,000 from the year-ago period. This increase from the second quarter of 2024 was primarily attributed to a $183,000 increase in stock-based compensation, partially offset by a $106,000 decrease in employee benefits, a $51,000 decrease in salaries and benefits expenses, and a $16,000 decrease in director compensation.  

    Building and occupancy was $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2025, decreasing $117,000 from the linked quarter and increasing $316,000 from the year-ago quarter. The decrease from the linked quarter reflected lower costs associated with building maintenance primarily related to snow removal. The increase from the first quarter of last year was primarily due to ongoing facilities-related costs associated with operating the East Syracuse branch acquired in July 2024.

    Data processing expense was $667,000 in the second quarter of 2025, in line with the linked quarter and increasing $117,000 from the year-ago period. The increase from the second quarter of 2024 was primarily attributed to the ongoing operations of the East Syracuse branch acquired in July 2024.

    No FDIC assessment expense was recorded in the second quarter of 2025, due to modest over-accruals in prior periods, compared to $229,000 and $228,000 in the linked and year-ago periods, respectively. The Company anticipates more normalized FDIC assessments in the future and expects this expense to range between $220,000 to $230,000 per quarter in the second half of 2025.

    Annualized noninterest expense represented 2.18% of average assets in the second quarter of 2025, compared to 2.33% and 2.19% in the linked and year-ago periods. The efficiency ratio was 65.66%, compared to 67.19% and 74.36% in the linked and year-ago periods, respectively. The efficiency ratio, which is not a financial metric under GAAP, is a measure that the Company believes is helpful to understanding its level of non-interest expense as a percentage of total revenue.

    Net Income
    For the second quarter of 2025, net income attributable to common shareholders was $31,000, or less than $0.01 per basic and diluted share. Linked quarter net income was $3.0 million, or $0.48 per basic share and $0.47 per diluted share. Second quarter 2024 net income totaled $2.0 million or $0.32 per basic and diluted share.

    Statement of Financial Condition
    As of June 30, 2025, the Company’s statement of financial condition reflects total assets of $1.51 billion, compared to $1.50 billion and $1.45 billion recorded on March 31, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively.

    Loans totaled $909.7 million on June 30, 2025, after $3.2 million in balances were moved to held-for-sale status for the July 2025 sale of nonperforming and classified loans, resulting in a decrease of $2.4 million or 0.3% from March 31, 2025. Total loans increased $21.5 million or 2.4% from one year prior. Consumer and residential loans totaled $362.1 million, decreasing 2.4% during the second quarter and increasing 0.2% from one year prior. Commercial loans totaled $549.1 million, increasing 1.2% during the second quarter and 4.1% from one year prior, despite the recent loan sale.

    With respect to liabilities, deposits totaled $1.22 billion on June 30, 2025, decreasing 3.4% on reductions in higher-cost time and money market accounts, as well as regular municipal deposit seasonality, during the second quarter and increasing 11.0% from one year prior. 

    Shareholders’ equity totaled $124.4 million on June 30, 2025, decreasing $483,000 or 0.4% in the second quarter and increasing $1.1 million or 0.9% from one year prior. The second quarter 2025 decrease primarily reflects a $599,000 decrease in retained earnings, a $426,000 decrease in accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”), and a $542,000 increase in additional paid in capital. Noncontrolling interest, previously included in equity on the Statements of Financial Condition, was eliminated in October 2024 upon the sale of the Company’s 51% insurance agency ownership interest.

    Asset Quality
    The Company’s asset quality metrics reflect ongoing efforts the Bank is undertaking as part of its commitment to continuously improve its credit risk management approach.

    Nonperforming loans were $11.7 million, or 1.28% of total loans on June 30, 2025, compared to $13.2 million or 1.45% on March 31, 2025 and $24.5 million or 2.76% on June 30, 2024. Continued improvement in nonperforming loans in the second quarter of 2025 primarily resulted from the recent sale of loans associated with one local commercial relationship dating to 2013.

    NCOs after recoveries were $2.6 million or an annualized 1.14% of average loans in the second quarter of 2025, with gross charge offs for consumer loans, purchased loan pools, and commercial loans, offsetting recoveries in each of these categories. NCOs were $340,000 or an annualized 0.15% of average loans in the linked quarter and $66,000 or 0.03% in the prior year period.

    Provision for credit loss expense was $1.2 million in the second quarter of 2025 primarily reflecting NCOs in the period, partially offset by reductions related to quantitative and qualitative factors in the Company’s reserve model. The provision was $457,000 and $290,000 in the linked and year-ago quarters, respectively.

    The Company believes it is sufficiently collateralized and reserved, with an Allowance for Credit Losses (“ACL”) of $16.0 million on June 30, 2025, compared to $17.4 million on March 31, 2025 and $16.9 million on June 30, 2024. As a percentage of total loans, ACL represented 1.76% on June 30, 2025, 1.91% on March 31, 2025, and 1.90% on June 30, 2024.

    Liquidity
    The Company has diligently ensured a strong liquidity profile as of June 30, 2025 to meet its ongoing financial obligations. The Bank’s liquidity management, as evaluated by its cash reserves and operational cash flows from loan repayments and investment securities, remains robust and is effectively managed by the institution’s leadership.

    The Bank’s analysis indicates that expected cash inflows from loans and investment securities are more than sufficient to meet all projected financial obligations. Total deposits were $1.22 billion on June 30, 2025, compared to $1.26 billion on March 31, 2025 and $1.10 billion on June 30, 2024. Decreases in total deposits primarily reflect reductions in higher-cost time and money market accounts, as well as regular municipal deposit seasonality. Core deposits grew to 78.47% of total deposits on June 30, 2025, compared to 78.31% on March 31, 2025 and 67.98% on June 30, 2024. The Bank continues to implement strategic initiatives to enhance its core deposit franchise, including targeted marketing campaigns and customer engagement programs aimed at deepening banking relationships and enhancing deposit stability.

    On June 30, 2025, Pathfinder Bancorp had an available additional funding capacity of $124.5 million with the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York, which complements its liquidity reserves. Moreover, the Bank maintains additional unused credit lines totaling $46.5 million, which provide a buffer for additional funding needs. These facilities, including access to the Federal Reserve’s Discount Window, are part of a comprehensive liquidity strategy that ensures flexibility and readiness to respond to any funding requirements.

    Cash Dividend Declared
    On June 30, 2025, Pathfinder’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per share for holders of both voting common and non-voting common stock.

    In addition, this dividend also extends to the notional shares of the Company’s warrants. Shareholders registered by July 18, 2025 will be eligible for the dividend, which is scheduled for disbursement on August 8, 2025. This distribution aligns with Pathfinder Bancorp’s philosophy of consistent and reliable delivery of shareholder value.

    Evaluating the Company’s market performance, the closing stock price as of June 30, 2025 stood at $15.34 per share. This positions the annualized dividend yield at 2.61%.

    1 Although the Company owned 51% of its membership interest in FitzGibbons Agency, LLC (“Agency”) the Company is required to consolidate 100% of the Agency within the consolidated financial statements.  The Company sold its 51% membership interest in the Agency in October 2024.
    2 The $3,169,000 consolidated gain on asset sale equals $1,616,000 associated with the Company’s 51% interest in the Agency plus $1,553,000 associated with the 49% noncontrolling interest.
    3 The loss reflects a valuation adjustment “Lower-of-cost-or-market” adjustment on loans held for sale to their estimated market value based on active sale negotiations.
    4 Diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2025 has been updated to $0.47, from the $0.41 reported previously.

  • MIL-OSI: Inoxoft Launches Offline AI Tool for On-Device Text Classification

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PHILADELPHIA, July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Inoxoft, a custom software development company, has announced the release of WhiteLightning, an open-source CLI tool that enables developers to train and run fast, lightweight text classifiers entirely offline. This tool doesn’t rely on cloud APIs or large LLMs at runtime.

    Built over a year by Inoxoft’s AI and ML engineering team, WhiteLightning was created to address a growing need: delivering intelligent, privacy-safe NLP to edge devices, embedded systems, and offline environments. Using a novel teacher-student approach, the tool distills LLM-generated synthetic data into compact ONNX models under 1 MB in size, ready to run anywhere.

    “We built WhiteLightning to give developers full control over NLP and without the usual trade-offs,” said Liubomyr Pohreliuk, CEO at Inoxoft. “You don’t need a 175B model on standby. You need something that works offline, fast, and reliably, something you can ship.”

    Why it matters

    • Drastically lower cost. The tool uses LLMs just once for training (around one cent per task), avoiding ongoing per-query API fees.
    • Compact model size. It’s small enough to fit inside mobile apps, routers, or embedded devices.
    • Runs on minimal hardware. WhiteLightning is made for edge environments like Raspberry Pi or older phones.
    • Fast and efficient. The solution processes thousands of inputs per second on standard CPUs.
    • Cross-platform ready. This means consistent output across Python, Rust, Swift, and more.
    • Truly offline. There are no cloud dependencies, data leaks, or vendor lock-in.

    Under the hood

    • LLM-to-edge distillation. Converts task prompts into synthetic data, then a fast ONNX model.
    • CLI-first experience. Simple Docker-based tool, one command to generate classifiers.
    • Multi-language runtime compatibility. Supports Rust, Swift, Node.js, Dart, and more.
    • GitHub-native DevOps. CI/CD with Flake8, Pytest, pre-commit hooks, test matrix in GitHub Actions
    • Secure by design – No local Python dependencies, environment-variable-based API handling.

    WhiteLightning is not a hosted SaaS. It’s a production-grade CLI utility aimed at engineers who want precise, controllable, local-first AI capabilities without extra infrastructure.

    Built and backed by Inoxoft

    WhiteLightning is developed and actively maintained by Inoxoft’s ML engineers and OSS team:

    • Open-source license. GPL-3.0 for the tool, MIT for generated models.
    • Community-led roadmap. Feature discussions and dev chat on Discord.
    • Deployment-ready Docker image. ghcr.io/inoxoft/whitelightning
    • Public CI/CD. All PRs tested through GitHub Actions, cross-runtime validations included

    Try it yourself

    WhiteLightning is available on GitHub with full documentation, test examples, and deployment templates.

    For developers who need real-world NLP—fast, free, and fully offline—WhiteLightning offers a clean, powerful alternative to hosted LLMs.

    THIRD QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

    CEO COMMENTARY AND OUTLOOK

    Lachie Given, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “This quarter showcased continued strong momentum in our business, disciplined execution from our team, and the scalability of our platform. We delivered record Q3 revenue and achieved all-time high PLO as demand remains strong for immediate cash solutions and secondhand goods. When combined with meaningful efficiency gains throughout the organization, we turned top-line momentum into exceptional earnings growth, as reflected by a 42% increase in adjusted EBITDA and 36% growth in diluted EPS.

    “During the quarter, we grew our footprint by 52 stores, including 49 in LatAm and 3 in the US, 1 of which is a luxury store in Miami Beach. We continue to focus on strategic expansion to scale our business, as well as exceptional operating performance across geographies. In the U.S., disciplined expense management and store level execution drove a 32% increase in segment contribution. In Latin America, we delivered over 30% growth in contribution on a constant currency basis, resulting from both organic growth and a partial quarter benefit from acquired stores.

    “Our recently strengthened balance sheet with $472 million in liquidity enables us to fund accelerated growth, organically and through strategic acquisitions. Our pipeline of M&A prospects is compelling, and we are ideally positioned to capitalize on attractive scale opportunities. Looking ahead, we remain highly focused on disciplined capital allocation, operational excellence, and delivering long-term value for our shareholders.”

    SEGMENT RESULTS

    • PSC increased 8% as a result of higher average PLO, partially offset by lower PLO yield.
    • Merchandise sales increased 4%, on a total and same-store basis, and sales gross margin increased by 80 bps to 38.5%. Aged general merchandise decreased by 260 basis points to 2.5%, or $1.2 million of total general merchandise inventory. Excluding our Max Pawn luxury stores, aged general merchandise was 1.8%.

    • Total revenues increased 11% (21% on constant currency basis), and gross profit increased 6% (16% on a constant currency basis), primarily due to increased merchandise sales and pawn service charges.
    • PSC increased to $31.4 million, an increase of 3% (13% on a constant currency basis) as a result of higher average PLO.
    • Merchandise sales increased 12% (23% on constant currency basis) and increased 8% on a same-store basis (19% increase on a constant currency basis). Merchandise sales gross margin decreased to 31% from 32%. Aged general merchandise increased to 2.2% from 0.9% of total general merchandise inventory.
    • Net inventory increased 18% (21% on a constant currency basis) due to an increase in PLO and decrease in inventory turnover to 3.0x, from 3.1x.

    • Store expenses increased 1% (12% increase on a constant currency basis) and decreased 3% on a same-store basis (7% increase on a constant currency basis). The constant currency increase was due primarily to increased labor, in line with store activity and minimum wage increases.

    Non-GAAP Financial Information (Unaudited)

    In addition to the financial information prepared in conformity with accounting U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we provide certain other non-GAAP financial information on a constant currency (“constant currency”) and adjusted basis. We use constant currency results to evaluate our Latin America Pawn operations, which are denominated primarily in Mexican pesos, Guatemalan quetzales and other Latin American currencies. We believe that presentation of constant currency and adjusted results is meaningful and useful in understanding the activities and business metrics of our operations and reflects an additional way of viewing aspects of our business that, when viewed with GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of factors and trends affecting our business. We provide non-GAAP financial information for informational purposes and to enhance understanding of our GAAP consolidated financial statements. We use this non-GAAP financial information primarily to evaluate and compare operating results across accounting periods.

    Readers should consider the information in addition to, but not instead of or superior to, our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial information may be determined or calculated differently by other companies, limiting the usefulness of those measures for comparative purposes.

    Constant currency results reported herein are calculated by translating consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations items denominated in local currency to U.S. dollars using the exchange rate from the prior-year comparable period, as opposed to the current period, in order to exclude the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations. In addition, we have an equity method investment that is denominated in Australian dollars and is translated into U.S. dollars. We used the end-of-period rate for balance sheet items and the average closing daily exchange rate on a monthly basis during the appropriate period for statement of operations items. The end-of-period and approximate average exchange rates for each applicable currency as compared to U.S. dollars as of and for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

    Our statement of operations constant currency results reflect the monthly exchange rate fluctuations and so are not directly calculable from the above rates. Constant currency results, where presented, also exclude the foreign currency gain or loss.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Warner Joins Legislative Effort to Publicly Release Epstein Files

    US Senate News:

    Source: United States Senator for Commonwealth of Virginia Mark R Warner

    WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-VA) today joined his colleagues in introducing the Epstein Files Transparency Act, legislation directing the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to publicly release all files relating to the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates. 

    “President Trump promised transparency and accountability, but what we got instead was more secrecy and flimsy excuses,” said Sen. Warner. “The American people deserve to know the full truth about Jeffrey Epstein and the individuals who enabled his horrifying crimes.”

    The Epstein Files Transparency Act will require the Attorney General to release all relevant Department of Justice documents and records relating to Jeffrey Epstein. This bill directs the Department of Justice, including the FBI and U.S. Attorneys’ Offices, to release materials related to:

    • Investigations and prosecutions of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell;
    • Flight logs, travel records, and other transportation data;
    • Individuals and entities connected to Epstein’s activities and immunity deals;
    • Internal DOJ communications and decisions not to prosecute;
    • Records surrounding Epstein’s detention and death.

    Importantly, the legislation includes strong protections for victims’ privacy and national security, while explicitly prohibiting redactions based on reputational harm or political sensitivity. A copy of the legislation is available here.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Warner and Colleagues Release Joint Statement to Raise Alarm about President Trump’s Steep Concessions to Beijing

    US Senate News:

    Source: United States Senator for Commonwealth of Virginia Mark R Warner

    WASHINGTON – Today, Senate Intelligence Committee Vice Chairman Mark Warner (D-Va.), Ranking Senate Defense Appropriator Chris Coons (D-Del.), Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Senate Appropriations Vice Chair Patty Murray (D-Wash.), Senate Foreign Relations Committee Ranking Member Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.), Senate Armed Services Ranking Member Jack Reed (D-R.I.), Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on State and Foreign Operations Ranking Member Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), Senate Foreign Relations Committee member Tim Kaine (D-Va.), Senate Foreign Relations Committee member Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), Senate Armed Services Committee member Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), Senate Intelligence Committee member Michael Bennet (D-Colo.), Senate Armed Services Committee member Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.), and Senate Subcommittee on National Security and International Trade and Finance Ranking Member Andy Kim (D-N.J.) released the following statement about public reporting that President Trump is pausing export controls on critical technology sold to China as part of an effort to secure a trade deal with Beijing: 

    “President Trump has spent the past six months eroding our advantages over China, but recent developments make clear how willing his administration is to sacrifice American economic and technological leadership for symbolic “wins” with China in its self-inflicted trade war. 

    “In just the last two days, we have seen reporting that the Trump administration has cancelled a long-planned high-level security dialogue with Taiwan and denied the president of Taiwan the ability to transit the United States—a longstanding tradition respected by administrations of both parties. These developments come right on the heels of a decision to pave the way for the sale of advanced AI chips to China and to freeze export controls on additional American technologies enabling them to now flow to China, even as Beijing tightens export controls on the United States. Independent media reports today suggest these moves are an attempt to secure trade concessions, curry favor with President Xi Jinping, and ensure President Trump gets a visit to China. The president is demonstrating to Beijing that he can be cajoled into giving up America’s core interests.

    “In the face of lackluster domestic economic forecasts and anemic interest from Beijing in achieving a real breakthrough in talks, President Trump and his economic team have ceded leverage and negotiating power to Beijing in a desperate attempt to lure President Xi to a meeting with President Trump. Even more dangerously, they risk putting American national security, technological advantage, and economic prosperity on the chopping block in order to do so. 

    “President Trump is handing our primary geopolitical adversary the keys to the castle of 21st century global technological dominance. Doing so will enable Chinese leadership in artificial intelligence, infusing the Chinese military with the technological advantage it needs to continue hostile operations across the globe. He is signaling his ambivalence about standing with Taiwan, our long-term partner in the region and a powerhouse of the global economy. And he is emboldening Beijing to take aggressive actions and seek even more aggressive concessions in whatever trade negotiations may follow.

    “President Trump and this administration must reset their dangerously weak approach to China and make clear they will no longer accept symbolic wins in exchange for steep American concessions. An administration convinced it can renegotiate the world order needs to stop negotiating against itself.”

  • MIL-OSI USA: Warner and Kaine Ask Navy for Answers Regarding Death of Seaman Angelina Resendiz

    US Senate News:

    Source: United States Senator for Commonwealth of Virginia Mark R Warner

    WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senators Mark R. Warner and Tim Kaine, Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Seapower, (both D-VA) sent a letter to Secretary of the Navy John Phelan asking the U.S. Navy for answers regarding the death of Seaman Angelina P. Resendiz, who was found dead on June 9 in Norfolk after being reported missing since May 29. Resendiz was assigned to the destroyer James E. Williams at Naval Station Norfolk. In the letter, the senators request a briefing from the Navy and more information about the period of Resendiz’s disappearance and death and the Navy’s adherence to policies and procedures. They also express concerns regarding public accounts of the condition of Seaman Resendiz’s remains upon arrival in Texas.

    “We write to inquire about the Navy’s handling of the tragic death of Seaman Angelina P. Resendiz,” wrote the senators. “While we acknowledge the Navy’s engagement with congressional offices to date, ongoing questions and concerns related to the period of her disappearance, the circumstances leading to her death, and the Navy’s policies and procedures throughout, demand answers.” 

    The senators continued, “As the Navy continues its investigation, it is critical that you provide Congress with significantly greater detail about the circumstances of Seaman Resendiz’s disappearance and death, including a more fulsome accounting of the Navy’s engagement with Seaman Resendiz’s loved ones and fellow sailors who had raised concerns about her well-being.”

    “We urge you to provide clarity around the actions taken by the Navy upon first learning of Seaman Resendiz’s absence, and Navy leaders’ adherence to a range of protocols and procedures … we ask for detail on what investigative steps were taken, and when, by the Navy and its Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), as well as the interactions with local and Virginia State Police,” the senators wrote. “We have serious questions as to what policies and procedures govern dignified transfer of remains after an investigation, and whether those were followed in this instance.”

    Full text of the letter is available here and below:

    Dear Secretary Phelan,

    We write to inquire about the Navy’s handling of the tragic death of Seaman Angelina P. Resendiz. While we acknowledge the Navy’s engagement with congressional offices to date, ongoing questions and concerns related to the period of her disappearance, the circumstances leading to her death, and the Navy’s policies and procedures throughout, demand answers. We urge the swift and thorough completion of the criminal investigation, and an associated administrative investigation as the service examines the circumstances of Seaman Resendiz’s death.

    In response to our engagement, along with that of broader congressional colleagues, the Navy has provided some initial information related to this tragic case. As the Navy continues its investigation, it is critical that you provide Congress with significantly greater detail about the circumstances of Seaman Resendiz’s disappearance and death, including a more fulsome accounting of the Navy’s engagement with Seaman Resendiz’s loved ones and fellow sailors who had raised concerns about her well-being. This information is vital in helping to fully understand the response from the Navy, as well as state and local law enforcement.

    Additionally, we urge you to provide clarity around the actions taken by the Navy upon first learning of Seaman Resendiz’s absence, and Navy leaders’ adherence to a range of protocols and procedures, including those outlined in MILPERSMAN 1600-040, which governs absent enlisted and officer personnel. Furthermore, we ask for detail on what investigative steps were taken, and when, by the Navy and its Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS), as well as the interactions with local and Virginia State Police. Finally, we reiterate our concern over the public accounts from the family about the grief and anger caused by the condition of Seaman Resendiz’s remains upon arrival in Texas. We have serious questions as to what policies and procedures govern dignified transfer of remains after an investigation, and whether those were followed in this instance.

    As you must surely understand, your timely response on these matters is especially important to community advocates, Seaman Resendiz’s loved ones, the broader Navy family, and Members of Congress. As such, we request a briefing from relevant Navy and installation leadership by August 14, 2025, in order to further address a range of questions and concerns about the case – from the initial reports of Seaman Resendiz’s missing status, up to and including the return of her remains to Texas.

    Sincerely,

  • MIL-OSI USA: On Anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid, Warner and Kaine Introduce Bill to Repeal Health Care Provisions in Republican “Big Ugly Bill”

    US Senate News:

    Source: United States Senator for Commonwealth of Virginia Mark R Warner

    WASHINGTON – Today, on the 60th anniversary of the Medicare and Medicaid programs, U.S. Senators Mark R. Warner and Tim Kaine, a member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, (both D-VA) introduced legislation to repeal the health care provisions in President Donald Trump and Republicans’ ‘Big, Ugly Bill’ and permanently extend the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced tax credits, which expire at the end of the year. The law, which Warner and Kaine strongly opposed, will result in more than 15 million people losing their health insurance under Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act and many rural hospitals losing federal funding from Medicaid, putting them at risk of closure. 

    “In the 60 years since President Johnson signed the law that established Medicare and Medicaid, millions of Americans have been able to access the health care they need. Sadly, instead of strengthening these programs, President Trump and Republicans’ ‘Big, Ugly Bill’ will do the opposite and kick people off their health insurance under Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act,” said the senators. “We will all be better off if more people can access health insurance, and that’s why we’re proud to join our colleagues in introducing legislation to repeal the health care changes in the disastrous Republican law and extend the Affordable Care Act’s enhanced tax credits so Virginians can continue to access care.”

    The Republican law makes massive cuts to health care, nutrition assistance, and other critical programs that Virginians rely on in order to cut taxes for the ultra-wealthy. While the bill was being considered in the Senate, Warner and Kaine introduced a series of amendments in an attempt to improve the legislation, but Republicans blocked them.

    78,000 Virginians will lose access to some benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and Virginia will be required to contribute an estimated $263 million annually in state cost-share for benefits, which have always been fully federally funded. The law jeopardizes clean energy jobs in Virginia by phasing out clean energy and energy efficiency tax credits and incentives that were passed in the Inflation Reduction Act. The law gives the top 0.1% a $250,000 tax cut and makes it harder for students to access student loans. The legislation also includes $85 million to move the Space Shuttle Discovery from the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia to Houston, Texas; the full cost to move the space shuttle is estimated to be $300-$400 million.

  • MIL-OSI Canada: Expanding wastewater services in Airdrie

    [. With the population now over 90,000 and demand on critical infrastructure continuing to rise, this $50 million investment will support the construction of a new 7-kilometre wastewater pipeline that connects to the City of Calgary’s existing wastewater treatment system. This regional approach is a cost-effective and environmentally responsible solution, eliminating the need for a new treatment facility while supporting the development of thousands of new homes and businesses.

    “Airdrie is one of the fastest-growing municipalities in Alberta, and needs upgraded infrastructure to meet the demand for new, serviced, sub-divisions. This expansion will support projected growth of 45,000 housing units and a significant number of commercial developments.”

    Devin Dreeshen, Minister of Transportation and Economic Corridors

    This project ensures that Airdrie can continue to growth sustainably while leveraging existing regional infrastructure assets, rather than building a new treatment facility. By partnering with Calgary to manage wastewater treatment, Airdrie is reducing long-term infrastructure costs.  

    “Our government’s investment in upgraded wastewater infrastructure is great news for a growing community like Airdrie. With new residential and commercial developments popping up every day in this area, the need for reliable wastewater treatment services has never been greater. By bringing new wastewater pipeline infrastructure online, we are ensuring families and businesses have the services they need to thrive.”

    Angela Pitt, MLA for Airdrie-East

    As more people and businesses choose to call Airdrie home, this wastewater system upgrade will ensure reliable service for new residential and commercial developments while supporting future growth by removing infrastructure barriers, attracting investment, and enhancing the city’s economic competitiveness.

    “We are deeply grateful to the Province of Alberta for recognizing the significant infrastructure pressures facing the City of Airdrie. This announcement represents the largest provincial funding commitment in our city’s history and comes at a pivotal time for our growing community. We extend our sincere thanks to The Provincial Government, our partners in private industry and the dedicated team at the City of Airdrie, along with everyone who contributed to making this achievement possible.”

    Peter Brown, mayor, City of Airdrie

    The total cost of the project is $114 million. Design work will begin later in 2025, with construction set to begin in 2026 and completion anticipated by 2027.

    Quick facts

    • Recently annexed land in east Airdrie offers 10,000 acres of developable land, accessible through the recently completed 40 Avenue/Highway 2 interchange.
    • Design work on the new pipeline will begin this year, with construction slated for 2026 and completion by 2027.

    EBITDA margin (% of net sales) 23.7% 23.8%   19.6%  

    * EBITDA in 2Q 2024 includes a $171 million loss from the provision for ongoing litigation related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas. If this charge was not included EBITDA would have amounted to $821 million, or 24.7% of sales.

    In the second quarter, our sales rose 6% sequentially reflecting an increase in North American OCTG prices and stable volumes. EBITDA and net income also rose. Margins remained in line with those of the previous quarter as cost of sales rose 5%, principally reflecting product mix differences and higher tariff payments.

    Our free cash flow for the quarter amounted to $538 million and, after spending $600 million on dividends and $237 million on share buybacks, our net cash position amounted to $3.7 billion at June 30, 2025.

    Market Background and Outlook

    Oil prices have softened as OPEC+ accelerates the unwinding of its 2.2 Mb/d voluntary production cuts and demand growth is subdued amidst a high level of economic and geopolitical uncertainty. Drilling activity, however, has remained relatively resilient, although there has been some reduction in oil drilling in the United States, Canada and Saudi Arabia. Mexico, with the recent financing of Pemex, may start to recover some activity after its extended decline. 

    Following the recent increase in tariffs on imports of steel products from 25% to 50%, we expect U.S. OCTG imports to reduce from the high levels of the first half and U.S. OCTG prices to increase over time. 

    For the second half, as anticipated in our last conference call, our sales will show a moderate decline compared to the first half reflecting lower drilling activity and a lower contribution from line pipe projects. Our margins will also be affected by the recent increase in tariff costs. 

    Analysis of 2025 Second Quarter Results

    Tubes

    The following table indicates, for our Tubes business segment, sales volumes of seamless and welded pipes for the periods indicated below:

    Tubes Sales volume (thousand metric tons) 2Q 2025 1Q 2025 2Q 2024
    Seamless 803 775 4% 805 0%
    Welded 179 212 (16%) 228 (21%)
    Total 982 987 (1%) 1,033 (5%)
               

    The following table indicates, for our Tubes business segment, net sales by geographic region, operating income and operating income as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated below:

    Tubes 2Q 2025 1Q 2025 2Q 2024
    (Net sales – $ million)          
    North America 1,403 1,244 13% 1,439 (2%)
    South America 531 552 (4%) 599 (11%)
    Europe 215 208 3% 269 (20%)
    Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa 771 761 1% 823 (6%)
    Total net sales ($ million) 2,920 2,765 6% 3,130 (7%)
    Services performed on third party tubes ($ million) 110 101 8% 102 7%
    Operating income ($ million) 554 514 8% 459 21%
    Operating margin (% of sales) 19.0% 18.6%   14.7%  
               

    Net sales of tubular products and services increased 6% sequentially and decreased 7% year on year. Sequentially, a 1% decline in volumes sold was offset by a 6% increase in average selling prices. In North America sales increased due to higher OCTG prices in the region and higher shipments to the US offshore. In South America sales decreased following a reduction in shipments to the Raia offshore project in Brazil compensated by the start of shipments for the Vaca Muerta Sur pipeline in Argentina and higher coating services in the Caribbean. In Europe sales were stable sequentially however year on year we had lower sales of offshore line pipe. In Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa sales were stable as we had lower sales in Saudi Arabia, compensated by higher sales of offshore line pipe and coating services in sub-Saharan Africa and for a gas processing plant in Algeria.

    Operating results from tubular products and services amounted to a gain of $554 million in the second quarter of 2025 compared to a gain of $514 million in the previous quarter and a gain of $459 million in the second quarter of 2024. Despite the increase in average selling prices margins remained in line with those of the previous quarter as cost of sales rose 5%, principally reflecting product mix differences and higher tariff payments.

    Others

    The following table indicates, for our Others business segment, net sales, operating income and operating income as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated below:

    Others 2Q 2025 1Q 2025 2Q 2024
    Net sales ($ million) 166 157 6% 192 (14%)
    Operating income ($ million) 29 36 (21%) 52 (45%)
    Operating margin (% of sales) 17.3% 23.1%   27.3%  
               

    Net sales of other products and services increased 6% sequentially and decreased 14% year on year. Sequentially, sales increased mainly due to higher sales of oilfield services in Argentina, excess raw materials and energy sold to third parties which had a lower margin.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, amounted to $484 million, or 15.7% of net sales, in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $457 million, 15.6% in the previous quarter and $497 million, 15.0% in the second quarter of 2024. Sequentially, the increase in SG&A is mainly due to higher services and fees, taxes, and other expenses.

    Other operating results amounted to a loss of $6 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to a gain of $6 million in the previous quarter and a $170 million loss in the second quarter of 2024. In the second quarter of 2024 we recorded a $171 million loss from provision for ongoing litigation related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas.

    Financial results amounted to a gain of $32 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to a gain of $35 million in the previous quarter and a gain of $57 million in the second quarter of 2024. Financial result of the quarter is mainly attributable to a $54 million net finance income from the net return of our portfolio investments partially offset by foreign exchange and derivatives results.

    Equity in earnings (losses) of non-consolidated companies generated a gain of $33 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to a gain of $14 million in the previous quarter and a loss of $83 million in the second quarter of 2024. These results are mainly derived from our participation in Ternium (NYSE:TX) and in the second quarter of 2024 were negatively affected by an $83 million loss from the provision for ongoing litigation related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas on our Ternium investment.

    Income tax charge amounted to $105 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to $81 million in the previous quarter and $138 million in the second quarter of 2024. Sequentially, the higher income tax charge reflects better results at several subsidiaries.

    Cash Flow and Liquidity of 2025 Second Quarter

    Net cash generated by operating activities during the second quarter of 2025 was $673 million, compared to $821 million in the previous quarter and $0.9 billion in the second quarter of 2024. During the second quarter of 2025 cash generated by operating activities includes a net working capital reduction of $26 million.

    With capital expenditures of $135 million, our free cash flow amounted to $538 million during the quarter. Following a dividend payment of $600 million and share buybacks of $237 million in the quarter, our net cash position amounted to $3.7 billion at June 30, 2025.

    Analysis of 2025 First Half Results

      6M 2025 6M 2024 Increase/(Decrease)
    Net sales ($ million) 6,008 6,763 (11%)

    EBITDA* ($ million) 1,429 1,637 (13%)
    EBITDA margin (% of net sales) 23.8% 24.2%  

    * EBITDA in 6M 2024 includes a $171 million loss from the provision for ongoing litigation related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas. If this charge was not included EBITDA would have amounted to $1,808 million, or 26.7% of sales.

    Our sales in the first half of 2025 decreased 11% compared to the first half of 2024 as volumes of tubular products shipped decreased 5% and tubes average selling prices decreased 7% due to price declines in North America. Following the decrease in sales, EBITDA margin declined from 26.7%, excluding a $171 million provision, to 23.8% and EBITDA declined 21%. While net income declined 4% year on year, earnings per share increased 4% following the reduction of outstanding shares due to the share buyback.

    Cash flow provided by operating activities amounted to $1.5 billion during the first half of 2025, including a reduction in working capital of $250 million. After capital expenditures of $309 million, our free cash flow amounted to $1.2 billion. Following a dividend payment of $600 million and share buybacks for $474 million in the semester, our net cash position amounted to $3.7 billion at the end of June 2025.

    The following table shows our net sales by business segment for the periods indicated below:

    The following table indicates, for our Tubes business segment, net sales by geographic region, operating income and operating income as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated below:

    Tubes 6M 2025 6M 2024 Increase/(Decrease)
    (Net sales – $ million)      
    North America 2,647 3,028 (13%)
    South America 1,083 1,216 (11%)
    Europe 423 522 (19%)

    Operating income ($ million) 1,068 1,245 (14%)
    Operating margin (% of sales) 18.8% 19.4%  
           

    Net sales of tubular products and services decreased 11% to $5,686 million in the first half of 2025, compared to $6,421 million in the first half of 2024 due to a 5% decrease in volumes and a 7% decrease in average selling prices due to price declines in North America. Average drilling activity in the first half of 2025 decreased 4% in the United States and Canada and 7% internationally compared to the first half of 2024.

    Operating results from tubular products and services amounted to a gain of $1,068 million in the first half of 2025 compared to a gain of $1,245 million in the first half of 2024. In first six months of 2024 our Tubes operating income included a $171 million charge for litigations related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas and a $39 million gain from the positive resolution of legal claims in Mexico and Brazil. The decline in operating results is mainly due to the decline in average selling prices and the corresponding impact on margins.

    Others

    The following table indicates, for our Others business segment, net sales, operating income and operating income as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated below:

    Others 6M 2025 6M 2024 Increase/(Decrease)
    Net sales ($ million) 322 342 (6%)
    Operating income ($ million) 65 78 (17%)
    Operating margin (% of sales) 20.2% 23.0%  
           

    Net sales of other products and services decreased 6% to $322 million in the first half of 2025, compared to $342 million in the first half of 2024. The decline in sales is related to lower sales of sucker rods, coiled tubing and excess raw materials, partially offset by an increase in the sale of oilfield services in Argentina.

    Operating results from other products and services amounted to a gain of $65 million in the first half of 2025, compared to a gain of $78 million in the first half of 2024. Results were mainly derived from our oilfield services business in Argentina and from the sale of sucker rods.

    Selling, general and administrative expenses, or SG&A, declined from $1,005 million in the first half of 2024 to $941 million in the first half of 2025, however they increased from 14.9% to 15.7% of sales. The decline in SG&A expenses is mainly due to lower taxes, labor costs and depreciation and amortization.

    Other operating results amounted to a loss of $50 thousand in the first half of 2025, compared to a loss of $157 million in the first half of 2024. In the first six months of 2024 we recorded a $171 million loss from provision for ongoing litigation related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas.

    Financial results amounted to a gain of $67 million in the first half of 2025, compared to a gain of $32 million in the first half of 2024. While net finance income increased in the first six months of 2025 due to a stronger net financial position, foreign exchange results were negative, compared to the positive impact recorded in the same period of 2024. In the first half of 2024 other financial results were negatively affected by a cumulative loss of the U.S. dollar denominated Argentine bond previously recognized in other comprehensive income.

    Equity in earnings (losses) of non-consolidated companies generated a gain of $47 million in the first half of 2025, compared to a loss of $34 million in the first half of 2024. These results were mainly derived from our equity investment in Ternium (NYSE:TX) and in the first six months of 2024 were negatively affected by an $83 million loss from the provision for ongoing litigation related to the acquisition of a participation in Usiminas on our Ternium investment.

    Income tax amounted to a charge of $187 million in the first half of 2025, compared to $223 million in the first half of 2024. The lower income tax charge reflects the reduction in results at several subsidiaries.

    Cash Flow and Liquidity of 2025 First Half

    Net cash provided by operating activities during the first half of 2025 amounted to $1.5 billion (including a reduction in working capital of $250 million), compared to cash provided by operations of $1.8 billion (net of a reduction in working capital of $276 million) in the first half of 2024.

    Capital expenditures amounted to $309 million in the first half of 2025, compared to $333 million in the first half of 2024. Free cash flow amounted to $1.2 billion in the first half of 2025, compared to $1.5 billion in the first half of 2024.

    Following a dividend payment of $600 million in May 2025 and share buybacks of $474 million during the first half of 2025, our net cash position amounted to $3.7 billion at the end of June 2025.

    Exhibit I – Alternative performance measures

    Alternative performance measures should be considered in addition to, not as substitute for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

    EBITDA, Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.

    EBITDA provides an analysis of the operating results excluding depreciation and amortization and impairments, as they are recurring non-cash variables which can vary substantially from company to company depending on accounting policies and the accounting value of the assets. EBITDA is an approximation to pre-tax operating cash flow and reflects cash generation before working capital variation. EBITDA is widely used by investors when evaluating businesses (multiples valuation), as well as by rating agencies and creditors to evaluate the level of debt, comparing EBITDA with net debt.

    EBITDA is calculated in the following manner:

    EBITDA = Net income for the period + Income tax charges +/- Equity in Earnings (losses) of non-consolidated companies +/- Financial results + Depreciation and amortization +/- Impairment charges/(reversals).

    EBITDA is a non-IFRS alternative performance measure.

    (all amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars) Three-month period ended June 30, Six-month period ended June 30,
      2025 2024 2025 2024
    Income for the period 541,706 348,226 1,059,570 1,098,451
    Income tax charge 105,342 138,147 186,684 223,003
    Equity in earnings (losses) of non-consolidated companies (32,651) 82,519 (46,686) 34,340
    Financial Results (31,663) (57,183) (66,921) (32,421)
    Depreciation and amortization 150,002 138,509 296,408 313,951
    EBITDA 732,736 650,218 1,429,055 1,637,324
             

    Free Cash Flow

    Free cash flow is a measure of financial performance, calculated as operating cash flow less capital expenditures. FCF represents the cash that a company is able to generate after spending the money required to maintain or expand its asset base.

    Free cash flow is calculated in the following manner:

    Free cash flow = Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities – Capital expenditures.

    Free cash flow is a non-IFRS alternative performance measure.

    (all amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars) Three-month period ended June 30, Six-month period ended June 30,
      2025 2024 2025 2024
    Net cash provided by operating activities 673,147 935,201 1,494,147 1,822,178
    Capital expenditures (135,454) (161,318) (309,292) (333,415)
    Free cash flow 537,693 773,883 1,184,855 1,488,763
             

    Net Cash / (Debt)

    This is the net balance of cash and cash equivalents, other current investments and fixed income investments held to maturity less total borrowings. It provides a summary of the financial solvency and liquidity of the company. Net cash / (debt) is widely used by investors and rating agencies and creditors to assess the company’s leverage, financial strength, flexibility and risks.

    Net cash/ debt is calculated in the following manner:

    Net cash = Cash and cash equivalents + Other investments (Current and Non-Current)+/- Derivatives hedging borrowings and investments – Borrowings (Current and Non-Current).

    Net cash/debt is a non-IFRS alternative performance measure.

    (all amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars) At June 30,
      2025 2024
    Cash and cash equivalents 572,289 850,236
    Other current investments 2,482,514 2,452,375
    Non-current investments 1,002,523 1,120,834
    Derivatives hedging borrowings and investments (3,698)
    Current borrowings (319,919) (559,517)
    Non-current borrowings (4,361) (21,386)
    Net cash / (debt) 3,729,348 3,842,542
         

    Operating working capital days

    Operating working capital is the difference between the main operating components of current assets and current liabilities. Operating working capital is a measure of a company’s operational efficiency, and short-term financial health.

    Operating working capital days is calculated in the following manner:

    Operating working capital days = [(Inventories + Trade receivables – Trade payables – Customer advances) / Annualized quarterly sales ] x 365.

    Operating working capital days is a non-IFRS alternative performance measure.

    (all amounts in thousands of U.S. dollars) At June 30,

  • MIL-OSI: National Fuel Reports Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Earnings and Announces Preliminary Guidance for Fiscal 2026

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    WILLIAMSVILLE, N.Y., July 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — National Fuel Gas Company (“National Fuel” or the “Company”) (NYSE:NFG) today announced consolidated results for the third quarter of its 2025 fiscal year.

    FISCAL 2025 THIRD QUARTER SUMMARY

    • GAAP earnings per share of $1.64 compared to a net loss $0.59 per share in the prior year.
    • Adjusted earnings per share of $1.64 increased 66% compared to $0.99 per share in the prior year. See non-GAAP reconciliation on page 2.
    • Exploration and Production adjusted operating results of $0.95 per share increased 157% versus the prior year, driven by lower per unit operating costs, higher realized natural gas prices, and strong well performance in the Eastern Development Area (“EDA”), which contributed to 112 Bcf of natural gas production, up 16% versus the prior year’s third quarter.
    • The Pipeline and Storage segment achieved several development milestones for expansion projects during the quarter with the announcement of the Shippingport Lateral Project and the receipt of FERC approval for the Tioga Pathway Project, which remains on track for a late calendar 2026 in-service date.
    • The Company generated $196 million in net cash provided by operating activities less net cash used in investing activities during the third quarter.
    • The Company is revising the midpoint of its fiscal 2025 adjusted earnings per share guidance to a range of $6.80 to $6.95 per share and is initiating its fiscal 2026 preliminary earnings guidance which, based upon a NYMEX price of $4.00, is expected to increase 20% from fiscal 2025 (see Guidance Summary on page 7).

    MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

    David P. Bauer, President and Chief Executive Officer of National Fuel Gas Company, stated: “National Fuel’s excellent third quarter reflects ongoing success across the Company. Our integrated upstream and gathering operations saw record production and throughput during the quarter and a continued improvement in capital efficiency, while our regulated Utility and Pipeline & Storage segments continue to see an uplift in earnings from recent ratemaking activities and organic investment opportunities.

    “As we look forward to fiscal 2026, we expect to see significant earnings growth versus the prior year. This highlights the momentum in each of our businesses and the overall positive long-term outlook for natural gas. Strong well results in the EDA continue to confirm the depth of our best-in-class inventory and operational excellence in Northeast Pennsylvania, and underpin our mid-single-digit production growth expectations in the coming years. In addition, we have line of sight to further growth in our regulated businesses, supporting our 5% to 7% average annual rate base growth projections. Taken together, along with the broader tailwinds from growing demand for natural gas, National Fuel is well positioned to create meaningful value for shareholders in the years to come.”

    RETURN OF CAPITAL UPDATE

    During the quarter, National Fuel announced that its Board of Directors approved a 4% increase in the Company’s dividend for an annual rate of $2.14 per share. This is our 55th consecutive year of dividend increases and the 123rd year of consecutive dividend payments, demonstrating the Company’s commitment to returning cash to shareholders.

    With respect to the Company’s share repurchase program, since March 2024, the Company repurchased approximately 2 million shares at an average weighted price of $59.70 per share. Consistent with our disciplined approach to capital allocation, which balances growth with return of capital to shareholders, during the quarter the Company paused repurchases as it evaluated various growth opportunities, preserving balance sheet flexibility.

    FISCAL
    2025 GUIDANCE UPDATE

    National Fuel is revising its adjusted earnings per share guidance for fiscal 2025 to a range of $6.80 to $6.95. This updated range incorporates our third quarter results as well as lower expected realized natural gas prices for the remaining three months, which is largely offset by expected higher production and lower unit costs in the Exploration and Production segment. The Company is assuming an average NYMEX natural gas price of $3.25 per MMBtu for the remaining three months of fiscal 2025, which approximates the current NYMEX forward curve at this time.

    The Company’s other fiscal 2025 guidance assumptions are detailed in the table on page 7.

    INITIATION OF FISCAL 2026 PRELIMINARY GUIDANCE

    The Company is initiating preliminary earnings guidance for fiscal 2026 which it is providing at various NYMEX prices:

    NYMEX Assumption
    ($/MMBtu)
    Fiscal 2026
    Adjusted Earnings
    Per Share Sensitivities
    $3.00 $6.35 – $6.85
    $4.00 $8.00 – $8.50
    $5.00 $9.75 – $10.25


    2026 OUTLOOK

    • Seneca’s ongoing trend of improving capital efficiency is projected to continue in fiscal 2026 with capital expenditures expected to decrease by $20 million, or 4% at the midpoint, while production is expected to increase to a range of 440 to 455 Bcf, an increase of 6% at the midpoint.
    • Regulated segment earnings are expected to increase as a result of ongoing modernization investments which are supported by recent ratemaking efforts, driven by Distribution’s three-year New York rate settlement that continues through fiscal 2027 and additional margin related to the Pennsylvania modernization tracker, or DSIC (Distribution System Improvement Charge).
    • Combined Utility and Pipeline & Storage segment capital expenditures are expected to range between $395 and $455 million, an increase of $110 million from fiscal 2025 at midpoint of guidance, with continued investment in our longstanding modernization programs, as well as significant expansion-related spending on the Tioga Pathway and Shippingport Lateral projects driving meaningful rate base growth.

    Additional details on the Company’s updated forecast assumptions and business segment guidance for fiscal 2026 are outlined in the table on page 7.

    DISCUSSION OF THIRD QUARTER RESULTS BY SEGMENT

    The following earnings discussion of each operating segment for the quarter ended June 30, 2025 is summarized in a tabular form on pages 8 and 9 of this report (earnings drivers for the nine months ended June 30, 2025 are summarized on pages 10 and 11). It may be helpful to refer to those tables while reviewing this discussion.

    Note that management defines adjusted operating results as reported GAAP earnings adjusted for items impacting comparability, and adjusted EBITDA as reported GAAP earnings before the following items: interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, depletion and amortization, other income and deductions, impairments, and other items reflected in operating income that impact comparability.

    Upstream Business

    Exploration and Production Segment

    The Exploration and Production segment operations are carried out by Seneca Resources Company, LLC (“Seneca”). Seneca explores for, develops and produces primarily natural gas reserves in Pennsylvania.

        Three Months Ended
        June 30,
    (in thousands)     2025       2024     Variance
    GAAP Earnings   $ 86,671     $ (112,028 )   $ 198,699  
    Impairment of assets           200,696       (200,696 )
    Tax impact of impairment of assets           (55,686 )     55,686  
    Unrealized (gain) loss on derivative asset (2022 CA asset sale)     45       1,186       (1,141 )

    Adjusted Operating Results   $ 86,704     $ 33,843     $ 52,861  
                 
    Adjusted EBITDA   $ 202,488     $ 128,535     $ 73,953  

    Seneca’s third quarter GAAP earnings increased $198.7 million versus the prior year. GAAP earnings in the prior year included a non-cash, pre-tax ceiling test impairment of $200.7 million ($145.0 million after-tax) to write-down the carrying value of Seneca’s reserves under the full cost method of accounting. GAAP earnings also included the impact of unrealized losses related to reductions in the fair value of contingent consideration received in connection with the June 2022 divestiture of Seneca’s California assets.

    Excluding items impacting comparability, Seneca’s adjusted operating results in the third quarter increased $52.9 million primarily due to higher realized natural gas prices and production, as well as lower per unit operating expenses.

    During the third quarter, Seneca produced a Company record 112 Bcf of natural gas, an increase of 15 Bcf, or 16%, from the prior year. Two highly prolific Utica pads turned in line this year in the EDA’s Tioga County were the main drivers behind this increase in production.

    Seneca’s weighted average realized natural gas price, after the impact of hedging and transportation costs, was $2.71 per Mcf, an increase of $0.43 per Mcf from the prior year. This increase was primarily due to higher NYMEX prices and higher spot prices at local sales points in Pennsylvania.

        Three Months Ended
        June 30,
    (Cost per Mcf)     2025       2024     Variance
    Lease Operating and Transportation Expense (“LOE”)   $ 0.66     $ 0.69     $ (0.03 )
    General and Administrative Expense (“G&A”)   $ 0.17     $ 0.19     $ (0.02 )
    Taxes and Other   $ 0.08     $ 0.08     $  
    Total Cash Operating Costs   $ 0.91     $ 0.96     $ (0.05 )
    Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization Expense (“DD&A”)   $ 0.62     $ 0.71     $ (0.09 )
    Total Operating Costs   $ 1.53     $ 1.67     $ (0.14 )

    On a per unit basis, third quarter total cash operating costs were lower compared to the prior year, primarily due to higher production. LOE included $61 million ($0.55 per Mcf), or 83% of total LOE, for gathering and compression service fees paid to the Company’s Gathering segment to connect Seneca’s production to sales points along interstate pipelines. DD&A for the quarter was $0.62 per Mcf, a decrease of $0.09 per Mcf from the prior year, largely due to ceiling test impairments recorded in prior quarters that lowered Seneca’s full cost pool depletable base.

    Midstream Businesses

    Pipeline and Storage Segment

    The Pipeline and Storage segment’s operations are carried out by National Fuel Gas Supply Corporation (“Supply Corporation”) and Empire Pipeline, Inc. (“Empire”). The Pipeline and Storage segment provides natural gas transportation and storage services to affiliated and non-affiliated companies through an integrated system of pipelines and underground natural gas storage fields in western New York and Pennsylvania.

        Three Months Ended
        June 30,
    (in thousands)     2025       2024     Variance
    GAAP Earnings   $ 28,857     $ 30,690     $ (1,833 )
                 
    Adjusted EBITDA   $ 67,019     $ 68,221     $ (1,202 )

    The Pipeline and Storage segment’s third quarter GAAP earnings decreased $1.8 million versus the prior year primarily due to higher Operations and Maintenance (“O&M”) expense. The increase in O&M expense was due largely to typical inflationary increases related to higher personnel costs and third-party contractors.

    Gathering Segment

    The Gathering segment’s operations are carried out by National Fuel Gas Midstream Company, LLC’s limited liability companies. The Gathering segment constructs, owns and operates natural gas gathering pipelines and compression facilities in the Appalachian region, which delivers Seneca and other non-affiliated Appalachian production to the interstate pipeline system.

        Three Months Ended
        June 30,
    (in thousands)     2025       2024     Variance
    GAAP Earnings   $ 29,996     $ 24,979     $ 5,017  
                 
    Adjusted EBITDA   $ 55,923     $ 47,631     $ 8,292  

    The Gathering segment’s third quarter GAAP earnings increased $5.0 million versus the prior year primarily due to higher operating revenues, which increased $7.8 million, or 13%, primarily due to an increase in throughput from Seneca’s new wells located in Tioga County.

    Downstream Business

    Utility Segment

    The Utility segment operations are carried out by National Fuel Gas Distribution Corporation (“Distribution Corporation”), which sells or transports natural gas to customers located in western New York and northwestern Pennsylvania.

        Three Months Ended
        June 30,
    (in thousands)     2025       2024     Variance
    GAAP Earnings   $ 4,997     $ 2,559     $ 2,438  
                 
    Adjusted EBITDA   $ 25,743     $ 21,047     $ 4,696  

    The Utility segment’s third quarter GAAP earnings increased $2.4 million, or 95%, primarily as a result of new rates approved in the Utility’s New York rate case settlement, which became effective October 1, 2024, partially offset by higher operating costs and interest expense.

    For the quarter, customer margin (operating revenues less purchased gas sold) increased $8.4 million, primarily due to an increase in customer usage, due in part to colder weather, as well as an increase in rates as part of the New York rate case settlement. Other income increased $4.0 million, largely due to the New York rate settlement, which required the recognition of non-service pension and post-retirement benefit income and a corresponding reduction in new base rates, resulting in no effect on net income.

    O&M expense increased $2.7 million primarily driven by higher personnel costs, partially offset by a reduction in uncollectible expenses as a result of a tracker implemented as part of the New York rate case settlement. DD&A expense increased by $1.6 million primarily due to higher average depreciable plant in service compared to the prior year. Further, interest expense increased $2.5 million primarily due to a higher average amount of net borrowings.

    Corporate and All Other

    The Company’s operations that are included in Corporate and All Other generated a combined net loss of $0.7 million, which was largely consistent with the prior year.

    NATIONAL FUEL GAS COMPANY
    AND SUBSIDIARIES

    GUIDANCE SUMMARY

    As discussed on page 2, the Company is revising its adjusted earnings per share guidance for fiscal 2025. Additional details on the Company’s forecast assumptions and business segment guidance are outlined in the table below.

    The revised adjusted earnings per share guidance range excludes certain items that impacted the comparability of adjusted operating results during the nine months ended June 30, 2025, including: (1) the after tax impairment of assets, which reduced earnings by $1.14 per share; (2) after-tax premiums paid on early redemptions of debt, which reduced earnings by $0.02 per share; (3) after-tax unrealized losses on a derivative asset, which reduced earnings by $0.01 per share; and (4) after-tax unrealized losses on other investments, which reduced earnings by $0.02 per share. While the Company expects to record certain adjustments to unrealized gain or loss on investments during the remaining three months ending September 30, 2025, the amounts of these and other potential adjustments are not reasonably determinable at this time. As such, the Company is unable to provide earnings guidance other than on a non-GAAP basis.

    NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

    In addition to financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this press release contains information regarding adjusted operating results, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow, which are non-GAAP financial measures. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they provide an alternative method for assessing the Company’s ongoing operating results or liquidity and for comparing the Company’s financial performance to other companies. The Company’s management uses these non-GAAP financial measures for the same purpose, and for planning and forecasting purposes. The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be a substitute for financial measures in accordance with GAAP.

    Management defines adjusted operating results as reported GAAP earnings before items impacting comparability. The following table reconciles National Fuel’s reported GAAP earnings to adjusted operating results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

    Management defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, less net cash used in investing activities, adjusted for acquisitions and divestitures. The Company is unable to provide a reconciliation of any projected free cash flow measure to its comparable GAAP financial measure without unreasonable efforts. This is due to an inability to calculate the comparable GAAP projected metrics, including operating income and total production costs, given the unknown effect, timing, and potential significance of certain income statement items.

To present this information, current and comparative prior period results for entities reporting in currencies other than United States dollars are converted into United States dollars using the average exchange rates from the comparative period rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective periods. All growth comparisons relate to the corresponding period in the last fiscal year. Microsoft has provided this non-GAAP financial information to aid investors in better understanding our performance. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this release should not be considered as a substitute for, or superior to, the measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.

  • MIL-OSI USA: WATCH: On Medicaid Day of Action, Rep. Jim Costa Sounds the Alarm on Deep Cuts to Valley Clinics and Hospitals

    Source: United States House of Representatives – Congressman Jim Costa Representing 16th District of California

    FRESNO, Calif. – On Medicaid Day of Action, Congressman Jim Costa (CA-21) and healthcare leaders from United Health Centers of the San Joaquin Valley warned of the devastating impacts the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill” will have on clinics, hospitals, and patients in the Central Valley.

    Earlier this month, Donald Trump and House Republicans enacted the “One Big Beautiful Bill,” more like the “One Big Ugly Bill.” Costa voted against the law, which slashes more than $1 trillion from Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the largest healthcare cuts in U.S. history. As a result, 17 million Americans are expected to lose Medicaid coverage, including 247,384 people across the San Joaquin Valley.Medicaid cuts will devastate the United Health Centers of the San Joaquin Valley, where nearly 60% of the 180,000 patients served across 37 clinics in Fresno, Kings, and Tulare counties rely on Medicaid (Medi-Cal). Losing this funding means fewer doctors, longer wait times, emergency rooms (ERs) overwhelmed, and could lead to potential closures.
    Key Excerpts from Congressman Costa’s Remarks:“Medicaid payments to hospitals will be reduced by $665 billion. On average, rural hospitals are estimated to lose 21¢ out of every dollar they receive from Medicaid funding. So even if you’re not on Medicaid (Medi-Cal) and you have your own separate insurance, you’re going to see the impacts because these healthcare facilities need to figure out how to continue providing their full services with less funding. This could result in a reduction of staff, longer emergency room delays, and wait times,”said Congressman Costa.“I can tell you we’re already trying to do a lot with not enough. Almost seventy percent of our patients here are on Medicaid (Medi-Cal). If this safety net is weakened, the things that many of us take advantage of every day, simple things such as prenatal care, cancer screenings, pediatric visits, and lifesaving medications. Those things can go away for many of our patients,”said Justin Preas, CEO of the UnitedHealth Centers of the San Joaquin Valley.  “Often, we see in the [San Joaquin] Valley, kids with asthma exacerbations. Medicaid is what helps families afford these inhalers and medications that keep kids out of the hospital, threatened with cuts to Medicaid (Medi-Cal). If Medicaid (Medi-Cal) funding is cut, we will see a rise in preventable ER visits, untreated chronic disease, a rise in preventable cancers through early detection programs, and overall worse outcomes in our patients and in the community. These are real clinical consequences with long-term effects. As a physician, I can’t stand by while access to care is being threatened, and I know my colleagues across the state feel the same,”said Dr. Sharareh Shabafrooz, Associate Medical Director.Watch Congressman Costa’s full remarks HERE.
