    New York City, NY, July 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — When it comes to “mining”, many people still think that they must buy mining machines, understand technology, and keep an eye on the market. But SunnyMining is subverting this traditional perception: “You can easily earn BTC and XRP every day without buying mining machines or understanding blockchain.”

    As a technology leader in the field of cloud mining, SunnyMining uses AI computing power scheduling, green energy data centers and global node deployment to make mining as convenient as using an app. From registration, contract selection to daily settlement, everyone can easily participate.

    Why is SunnyMining “simpler”?

    No equipment, easy to get started: Register to receive $15 free computing power and start mining mainstream currencies such as BTC, LTC, DOGE, etc.

    Automatic system operation: No manual intervention is required, the platform automatically adjusts the computing power according to market dynamics to maximize the efficiency of revenue.

    A new era of mining: from tech game to mass portal

    SunnyMining believes that mining should not be a threshold, but a “digital income channel” that everyone can access – as natural as using daily applications.

    Relying on intelligent scheduling systems, fully managed cloud nodes and green energy infrastructure, the platform has covered 195 countries around the world, allowing users to start mining without equipment configuration or technical background. They only need to register to start mining, the system runs automatically, and the income is credited daily.

    Free contracts are not a “gimmick”, but a practical starting point

    In the field of mining, “free” is often questioned as a marketing trick, but the $15 registration computing power reward provided by SunnyMining is truly usable, visible, and profitable.

    After registration, users can try out mainstream currencies such as BTC, DOGE, and LTC without any investment, and daily income will be automatically settled in the account. The platform also provides a daily sign-in reward mechanism to continuously encourage novice experience.

    After registration, you can directly receive free mining rewards and choose BTC, DOGE, XRP and other currencies to start the experience.
    3. Wait for the income to arrive every day
    The system automatically mines and settles every day. You don’t need to do anything, and the income is directly sent to your account.

    Diversified contract options, free configuration of investment rhythm

    Novice experience contract: investment amount: $100, contract period: 2 days, daily income $4, total net profit: $100+$8.
    DOGE-Classic Contract Plan investment amount: $600, contract period: 7 days, daily income $7.8, total net profit: $600+$54.6

    Sustainability is not only about environmental protection, but also about long-termism

    SunnyMining achieves low-energy and high-efficiency mining operations by deploying green energy infrastructure around the world, combining wind power, hydropower and AI computing power scheduling.
    Unlike traditional “high-energy consumption, high-profit” cyclical mining, SunnyMining is promoting the transformation to an intelligent, environmentally friendly and sustainable revenue model.

    Redefining “Who can mine”

    SunnyMining not only lowers the threshold for mining, but also completely reshapes the way to participate in mining. Through a smarter, greener and easier-to-use system, it is truly returning the right to obtain digital assets to every ordinary person.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Congressmembers Langworthy and Stefanik Introduce SAFER at the Border Act to Block Dangerous Migrants Exploiting Biden-era Loopholes

    Source: US Congressman Nick Langworthy (NY-23)

    WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressmembers Nick Langworthy (NY-23) and Elise Stefanik (NY-21) introduced the Safeguarding Americans from Extreme Risk (SAFER) at the Border Act, legislation aimed at closing dangerous loopholes left wide open by the Biden administration and restoring strict vetting protocols to ensure extremists and criminals are kept out of the United States.

     

    “My constituents are fed up with the flood of murderers, terrorists, and dangerous individuals that poured into our communities across New York State—all because of the reckless, failed open-border policies of the Biden administration,” said Congressman Langworthy. “A nation without secure borders is a nation in decline, and it’s time we take bold, decisive action to reverse the chaos of the last four years.”

     

    He continued, “The SAFER at the Border Act answers the urgent call from Border Czar Tom Homan, who has sounded the alarm on the unprecedented number of illegal aliens who entered our country under the Biden administration from high-risk countries like Iran. This legislation is about protecting American families from threats that never should have made it onto our soil in the first place.”

     

    “The Worst Governor in America Kathy Hochul embraced and fully supported Joe Biden’s catastrophic open border policies. She has put all New Yorkers at risk by prioritizing illegals first and New Yorkers LAST with her sanctuary state policies,” Chairwoman Stefanik said. “Today, I am announcing I am co-leading the SAFER at the Border Act with Congressman Nick Langworthy to keep dangerous criminal illegals from terrorizing New York and our nation’s streets. The legislation closes loopholes that were exploited by Kathy Hochul’s failed policies and Joe Biden’s reckless abuse of immigration parole. Terrorists, transnational criminals, and dangerous foreign nationals invaded our sovereign nation under the corrupt and failed leadership of Kathy Hochul. We must put law-abiding New Yorkers first and secure our borders.”

     

    Specifically, the SAFER at The Border Act would:

     

    • Prohibit parole for high-risk aliens: The bill bars the Secretary of Homeland Security from granting immigration parole to individuals who pose national security or public safety risks—such as known terrorists, members of transnational criminal organizations, or those flagged in federal threat databases.
    • Closes loopholes for refugee parole: It prohibits parole of refugees into the United States outside of the established refugee admission process, preventing the administration from using broad parole authority to bypass standard vetting and security protocols.
    • Targets national security threats in immigration law: The bill ensures that individuals with ties to terrorism, espionage, or foreign criminal networks are flagged and blocked from entering the U.S., reinforcing existing inadmissibility standards with clear statutory guardrails.

     

    The full text of the legislation can be found here.

     

    Original cosponsors of this legislation include Reps. Michael Cloud (TX), Chuck Edwards (NC), Gabe Evans (CO), Chuck Fleischmann (TN), Michael Guest (MS), Nicole Malliotakis (NY), Andy Ogles (TN), Michael Rulli (OH), Mike Simpson (ID), Pete Stauber (NY), Elise Stefanik (NY), Scott DesJarlais (TN), and Claudia Tenney (NY).

     

    The SAFER at The Border Act is supported by the Immigration Accountability Project, Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), and America First Policy Institute (AFPI).

     

    “While the country is no longer facing the mass release of illegal aliens into the country under the guise of ‘humanitarian parole’, Congress must act to prevent this kind of abuse from happening again. In light of reports that the Biden Administration released suspected terrorists into the interior during the border crisis, Congress must change the law so that no known or suspected terrorists can ever be granted humanitarian parole. The SAFER at the Border Act prioritizes safeguarding American communities by prohibiting parole for individuals deemed dangerous, including those associated with espionage, sabotage, terrorism, or serious criminal activities. The Immigration Accountability Project applauds Senator Daines and Congressman Langworthy for this effort to help bring sanity and security back to the immigration system,”saidGrant Newman, Director of Government Relations, Immigration Accountability Project.

     

    “For the last four years, suspected terrorists were encountered at our borders in record numbers and special interest aliens flooded into the country, putting the interests of illegal aliens over protecting our national security. As a result of the Biden Administration’s catch-and-release policies and abuse of parole, dangerous aliens were more likely than ever before to slip through the cracks. Limiting the DHS Secretary from paroling aliens designated as terrorists, suspected terrorists, or special interest aliens is a commonsense step. FAIR is proud to support this crucial bill to help ensure the safety of American citizens and protect against the abuse of our immigration laws,”said Joe Chatham, Director of Government Relations, FAIR.

     

    “Border security is national security, and our open southern border has significantly increased our Nation’s vulnerability to terrorist attacks. An unprecedented number of terrorists, special interest aliens, and cartel members have exploited the Biden Administration’s failed border strategy and been released into American communities. We must reverse course from these disastrous policies, secure our border, and stop these national security and public safety threats from entering our Nation. The Safeguarding Americans from Extremist Risk (SAFER) at the Border Act empowers the Department of Homeland Security to protect American families,” said Chad Wolf, former acting Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security and Executive Director of the America First Policy Institute.

    WASHINGTON –  U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) released the following statement on the Senate’s passage of the Republicans’ Big Beautiful Betrayal:

    “Congressional Republicans betrayed the American people, passing a bill that will raise our debt by $4 trillion, kick millions people off their health care, close more than 300 rural hospitals and 500 nursing homes, and raise grocery prices for 40 million people — all to pay for tax cuts for the richest Americans.

    “This is a betrayal of the parents trying to put food on the table. It’s a betrayal of the seniors who rely on Medicaid and Medicare to pay for assisted living. It’s a betrayal of people who live in rural America. And it’s a betrayal of young Americans who will pay $1,000 more a year for mortgages because of higher interest rates — putting the American Dream even further out of reach.

    “What we should be doing is working together to bring down costs and make life easier for all Americans — not raising costs by putting the wealthy ahead of everyone else. I urge the House to reject this bill.”

  • Hardeep Singh Puri highlights India’s economic milestones and reforms at ICAI Foundation Day

    Source: Government of India (4)

    Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Hardeep Singh Puri, on Tuesday outlined India’s remarkable economic transformation over the past eleven years, crediting bold policy reforms, robust governance, and far-reaching social welfare measures for propelling the country from the world’s eleventh largest economy in 2014 to the fourth largest today.

    Addressing the 77th Foundation Day of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, Puri noted that India’s GDP has more than doubled, from USD 2.1 trillion in 2014 to USD 4.3 trillion in 2025. He said India has recently surpassed Japan and is on track to overtake Germany by 2030 to become the world’s third-largest economy.

    Reflecting on a decade of extensive welfare programmes, the Minister highlighted that over 27 crore citizens have been lifted out of multidimensional poverty, nearly four crore homes have been sanctioned under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, and more than 15 crore rural households now have access to piped drinking water through the Jal Jeevan Mission. Health coverage under Ayushman Bharat now benefits over 70 crore people, providing ₹5 lakh insurance per family each year.

    Puri also underscored India’s ability to attract foreign investment, citing USD 748 billion in foreign direct investment inflows between 2014 and 2025—an increase of 143% over the previous decade—and the rise in source countries from 89 to 112. Landmark economic measures such as the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code, Production-Linked Incentive schemes, Goods and Services Tax, and Direct Benefit Transfers, along with the removal of over 25,000 compliances and 1,400 outdated laws, have further strengthened India’s business environment.

    The Minister pointed to significant improvements in tax administration, with the number of annual income tax returns filed more than doubling from 3.6 crore in FY 2013–14 to 8.5 crore in FY 2024–25. He noted that 95% of these returns are now processed within 30 days, helping ensure that every tax rupee translates into social benefits such as LPG connections for households, medicines for the underprivileged, rural electrification, pensions for senior citizens, and jobs for the youth.

    Highlighting the resilience of India’s banking sector, Puri said gross non-performing assets of scheduled commercial banks have fallen from 14.58% in FY 2017–18 to below 3% in FY 2024–25. He also noted that India’s digital economy continues to expand rapidly, with the Unified Payments Interface (UPI) handling nearly 50% of the world’s real-time digital transactions and serving over 500 million active users. India’s fintech adoption now stands at 87%, compared to a global average of 67%, driven by widespread access to digital identity and mobile connectivity.

    Among flagship initiatives, the Minister lauded the success of the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana, which has delivered more than 16.5 crore LPG connections since 2014. This has empowered women, improved health by reducing indoor air pollution, and enhanced public welfare. The Oil & Gas sector’s robust growth was reflected in the doubling of the market capitalization of Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) to ₹8.79 lakh crore since 2014.

    Looking ahead, Puri urged chartered accountants to embrace new technologies such as artificial intelligence and advanced analytics to automate routine tasks and focus on delivering strategic insights. “Embracing AI is no longer optional—it is essential for staying competitive and innovative in today’s evolving financial world,” he said.

    Puri called on the ICAI community to uphold the values of transparency, efficiency, and accountability as India advances towards its goal of becoming a developed nation by 2047. “On this special day, remember that your profession has the power to protect and sustain our economy. Your dedication is vital for building Viksit Bharat,” he said.

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Hong Kong has broad prospects and a promising future – Chinese Foreign Ministry

    BEIJING, July 1 (Xinhua) — With the support of the motherland, the strong guarantee of the “one country, two systems” policy, the dedication of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) government and the concerted efforts of all walks of life, Hong Kong enjoys broad prospects and a promising future, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said on Tuesday.

    The diplomat made the statement at a regular briefing, noting that over the past five years since the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region was adopted and put into effect, the local legal system has been improved, the stability and cohesion of Hong Kong society has been strengthened, and the rights and freedoms enjoyed by the people of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in accordance with the law have been more fully protected.

    As Mao Ning pointed out, the groundless and malicious denigration of the “one country, two systems” policy by some Western politicians and anti-China organizations, as well as their slander regarding the implementation of the rule of law in Hong Kong, completely expose their malicious intent to undermine stability in the metropolis.

    The spokesperson emphasized that Hong Kong has achieved high-quality development based on its high level of security, with its gross regional product growing for nine consecutive quarters. Hong Kong has entered the top three international financial centers in the world and regained its place in the top three in the global competitiveness ranking.

    As the world’s third-largest recipient of foreign direct investment, Hong Kong has led the world in IPO funding since the start of this year, retained its top spot in air cargo volume, ranked fourth in the International Shipping Center Development Index, and is among the top 10 in talent competitiveness. As Mao Ning noted, increasing investment in the SAR has become a priority choice for many foreign chambers of commerce.

    The data shows that Hong Kong’s economy is highly resilient and viable, and that the city’s international attractiveness is only growing, she added.

    “Today marks the 28th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to the bosom of the motherland. We believe that with the firm support of the motherland, the reliable guarantees of the ‘one country, two systems’ policy, the dedication of the HKSAR administration and the concerted efforts of all walks of life, Hong Kong will enjoy broad prospects and a promising future,” Mao Ning concluded. –0–

  • MIL-OSI Russia: Yuri Trutnev: Sakhalin Region will be presented as an energy and logistics center of the Asia-Pacific region on the “Far East Street” within the framework of the EEF

    Translation. Region: Russian Federal

    Source: Government of the Russian Federation – An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

    Sakhalin Region will traditionally be one of the participants in the Far East Street exhibition, which will be held from September 3 to 9 as part of the tenth, anniversary Eastern Economic Forum – 2025 in Vladivostok. The exhibition is organized by the Roscongress Foundation with the support of the Office of the Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of Russia in the Far Eastern Federal District. The only island region in the country will present information about its main investment and social projects, history and culture, and will also talk about the development of unmanned aviation.

    “Sakhalin Oblast is one of the leading regions in the Far East in terms of attracting investment. In the national investment climate rating, Sakhalin Oblast ranks first in the Far Eastern Federal District and fourth in the country. There is growth in the manufacturing industry, coal industry, and construction. Entrepreneurs can take advantage of the benefits of the priority development area, free port, and preferential regime on the Kuril Islands. The region is actively developing scientific and technologically. An international-level campus is being created on the instructions of the President. An engineering school and an electrical engineering laboratory are operating, the first stage of the Oil and Gas Industrial Park has been launched, and a research and production center for the development of unmanned systems has been created. This and much more allows us to create new production facilities, attract new personnel, and train young specialists. Thanks to the master plan, the urban environment of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk is changing. I am sure that the region has something to show and be proud of,” emphasized Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Far Eastern Federal District Yuri Trutnev.

    The main pavilion of the Sakhalin Region on the “Far East Street” will be made in the form of waves. This year it will be decorated with installations on the theme of logistics: a hydrogen train, a UAV, an airplane and the port of Korsakov. Next to it there will be an investor’s pavilion in the form of a scallop shell.

    “The Eastern Economic Forum has long been an important platform for the Sakhalin Region to develop the region’s economy. Over the past five years, we have signed more than 60 agreements here, which will create 5.7 thousand jobs, and launch key projects in energy, transport, and education. Among them are the modernization of the electric grid complex, the development of hydrogen energy, the continuation of gasification of the region, the modernization of port infrastructure, the construction of clinics, and the development of science as part of the construction of the SakhalinTech campus. It is important for us that Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands become increasingly attractive for living, and that comfort for residents and visitors to the region grows. And we will consistently continue this work in the future,” said Sakhalin Region Governor Valery Limarenko.

    An installation dedicated to the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War will be placed inside the pavilion. The exhibition “Roads of Victory” will tell about the Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk operation and the landing on Shumshu. It is planned to show a film about the expedition to the island, videos about reconstructions of battles in the Kholmsky and Smirnykhovsky districts.

    “On the instructions of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, we are creating a memorial complex on Shumshu Island dedicated to the Kuril landing operation. Shumshu is one of the islands of the Kuril chain. In fact, World War II ended there. The Kwantung Army was defeated. Our soldiers defeated the superior forces of the enemy, demonstrated mass heroism, landed in the water with full equipment and attacked tanks and firing points that were on the heights. This is one of the most significant pages in our history,” concluded Yuri Trutnev.

    In the Tourism zone, new programs will be presented: military-historical tours “Battle for Shumshu” and “Liberation of the South of Sakhalin”, seasonal offers for winter and summer recreation, as well as gastronomic tours and the “Far East – Land of Adventure” project.

    The Sakhalin – Showcase of Russia zone will showcase key projects of the master plan for the first belt of the agglomeration, as well as the main areas of development of the region: medicine, science and education, logistics, culture, and the urban environment.

    The results of the decade of work of the Sakhalin Region Development Corporation will be presented in a separate zone. With the help of multimedia technologies, the exposition will present the results of the organization’s work over 10 years, including the initiatives of the Merci Agro Sakhalin livestock complex, the Gorizont residential complex, the Uyun territory development project, the agropark and the oil service park.

    The UAV and BEK zone will tell about how the island region strives to become a leader in Russia in the implementation of unmanned aircraft systems. This topic will be dedicated to a separate exposition aimed at promoting Sakhalin’s achievements in this area.

    In 2025, Sakhalin Oblast plans to hold three international forums – Wings of Sakhalin, Energy of Sakhalin and Islands of Sustainable Development: Climate Aspect – at a new venue – the Pushisty drone port. The Sakhalin Expo exposition will be dedicated to the development of congress and exhibition activities in the region.

    Next to the main pavilion there will be a stand “Made in Sakhalin”. The exposition will present regional brands – clothes, jewelry, souvenirs, gastronomic products, health products, and achievements of the film industry and computer graphics will also be demonstrated. The pavilion’s design will include works by Sakhalin photographers and musicians, as well as various murals, including an image of the Aniva lighthouse – the unofficial symbol of the region.

    The art object “Happy Motherhood” will also be exhibited, symbolizing family values. 2025 has been declared the Year of Happy Motherhood on the islands. The regional government’s social block is paying special attention to solving the demographic issue and creating conditions under which women can successfully combine motherhood with professional activity, without sacrificing either their career or family.

    This year, the cultural program of the Sakhalin Region is aimed at popularizing the work of local authors and musicians. Songs by Sakhalin composer and poet Georgy Zobov will be presented, performed by artists of the Variety Academy, accompanied by the dance studio “Aritmiya” and the group Dreambox. The duet “Vishnya” will present a combination of electronic music, songs and ethnic music. The ensemble of the Variety Academy of Larisa Dolina will perform cover versions of famous hits of the Russian variety art. Stilt walkers of the theater studio 2233 will also perform for the guests.

    In addition, the regional delegation will present a series of unique performances called “Sea Meditation”. For three days, Sakhalin artist Konstantin Kolupaev will create paintings dedicated to the beauty and power of nature on a huge canvas using unique techniques. Spectators will be able to watch the master at work.

    As part of the sports program, Sakhalin Oblast plans to organize an interactive platform using VR glasses, where you can try alpine skiing, ski jumping or parachuting. There will be a chess platform called “Beat the Champion.”

    The 10th Eastern Economic Forum will be held on September 3–6 at the campus of the Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok. During these days, the exhibition will be available to forum participants, and on September 7, 8, and 9, it will be open to everyone. The EEF is organized by the Roscongress Foundation.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Sherrill Statement Condemning the Senate Passage of the Republican Price Hike Bill

    Source: United States House of Representatives – Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill (NJ-11)

    WASHINGTON, DC —  Rep. Mikie Sherrill (NJ-11) issued the following statement:

    “Today, Senate Republicans passed the largest attack on working people our country has ever seen. They are cutting Medicaid and SNAP and driving up energy and housing costs so they can give tax breaks to Donald Trump’s billionaire donors. This fiscally irresponsible — and morally bankrupt — bill will add $3.3 trillion to the deficit while kicking 16 million people off their health insurance and stripping food assistance for millions of Americans. 

    “This bill is a direct attack on working and middle-class New Jerseyans. More than 400,000 New Jerseyans will lose their health insurance, and hundreds of thousands more will see increases in their healthcare costs. Instead of letting the SALT cap expire for good, Washington Republicans have reinstated this double tax on the Garden State. Thanks to Republican leadership, New Jersey households will see another $100 increase in their utility bills starting next year as energy costs are already skyrocketing.  With the high cost of groceries, families have to figure out how they will afford to put food on the table as this bill guts food assistance programs. And with cuts to Pell Grants and mortgage rate hikes, Republicans are putting the opportunity of a college education and homeownership out of reach for working people. 

    “We heard some Washington Republicans acknowledge how this bill will harm families across the country. Yet, despite their full understanding of the devastation this bill will cause, all but three remained loyal foot soldiers to the President.

    “I urge my House colleagues to show an ounce of courage and live up to their oath to serve the American people, instead of serving Donald Trump.”

    Source: United States House of Representatives – Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (MA-07)

    Cruel Legislation Now Heads Back to House of Representatives

    WASHINGTON – Today, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (MA-07) issued the following statement on the Senate’s passage of Republicans’ cruel reconciliation bill, which would gut Medicaid and SNAP, and rip healthcare and food assistance away from millions of people, including in Massachusetts. In May, Rep. Pressley delivered an impassioned speech on the House floor in which she made a direct appeal to her Republican colleagues to oppose this cruel and harmful bill.

    “This is a somber moment. This legislation is deeply harmful and every Senator that voted for it should be ashamed of themselves. I implore my House colleagues to reject this unpopular bill and listen to the cries of people across this country who stand to be harmed,” said Congresswoman Pressley. “Trump and Republicans are trying to ram through this bill aligned with their dystopian vision for this country where billionaires get money they don’t need, while millions of people are poorer, sicker, hungrier, and lack access to critical reproductive healthcare. This Big, Ugly Bill is not an inevitability, and we’ll keep fighting with every tool we have to stop it in its tracks.”

    Congresswoman Pressley has been an outspoken critic of this harmful legislation since its inception.

    • Ahead of the third anniversary if the Dobbs decision, Rep. Pressley and her colleagues stood in solidarity with Planned Parenthood and condemned the proposed cuts to reproductive healthcare under Republicans’ Big, Ugly Bill.
    • Rep. Pressley and author Darrick Hamilton authored a Washington Post op-ed in which they discussed the regressive, ineffective “Trump Accounts” provision of Republicans’ reconciliation bill and urged Congress to instead embrace Baby Bonds to advance economic justice.
    • Rep. Pressley rallied with advocates from Caring Across Generations, Care Can’t Wait, and partner organizations to protest Trump’s and Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill that proposes disastrous cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other essential programs and would leave communities sicker, poorer, and more vulnerable.
    • Ahead of the House’s vote on the bill, Rep. Pressley delivered an impassioned speech on the House floor in which she made a direct appeal to her Republican colleagues to oppose this cruel and harmful bill.
    • Rep. Pressley delivered a floor speech in which she slammed the bill’s proposed Medicaid cuts, which would decimate reproductive healthcare in America and worsen maternal health outcomes.
    • Rep. Pressley co-hosted a press conference with Color of Change to oppose the Republicans’ cruel and harmful budget reconciliation package, which would gut critical programs like Medicaid and SNAP.
    • Rep. Pressley rallied with caregivers, advocates, and fellow lawmakers at a 24-hour vigil to protect Medicaid from Republicans’ cruel budget cuts that would devastate communities across this country.
    • In the House Oversight Committee’s markup of the Republican reconciliation bill, Rep. Pressley demanded Republicans answer to the families who would go hungry by way of this reconciliation bill – and she was met with silence.
    • In the House Financial Services Committee’s markup of the Republican reconciliation bill, Rep. Pressley condemned the bill’s proposed cuts to Medicaid and shared the story of Mary Marinelli, a 70-year-old hospice nurse from a Republican district in Michigan whose family depends on Medicaid to care for their autistic son.
    • In an impassioned speech on the House floor, Rep. Pressley slammed Republicans’ cruel and callous budget resolution that would slash Medicaid and other critical government services to pay for trillions of dollars in tax giveaways for Donald Trump’s billionaire donors.

    WASHINGTON—Today, U.S. Sens. Mark R. Warner and Tim Kaine (both D-VA) released the following statement after they voted no on the Republican budget megabill:
    “Today, Republicans jammed through a partisan megabill that slashes Medicaid, nutrition assistance, and other critical programs that Americans rely on in order to pay for massive tax breaks to the very rich. It’s clear that the Trump Administration and congressional Republicans are only interested in helping the wealthiest—even if it means ripping off working- and middle-class people, killing jobs, and hurting our economy. Americans deserve better than this. We are committed to doing everything we can to ensure all Virginians have the support they need in the wake of this disastrous legislation.”
    Sens. Warner and Kaine introduced a series of amendments in an attempt to improve the bill. Republicans blocked them.
    The senators have been sounding the alarm about the effects of the GOP plan on Virginia families, noting that the GOP bill would strip health insurance from more than 302,000 Virginians, saddle families with medical debt, cut SNAP benefits for more than 204,000 Virginians, and devastate rural communities. The bill would also explode the deficit, jeopardize more than 20,000 Virginia jobs, raise energy costs, give the richest 0.1% a $255,125 tax cut, and eliminate a program allowing Americans to file federal taxes for free.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Rep. Jimmy Gomez SLAMS senate Passage of Republican Tax Bill

    Source: United States House of Representatives – Congressman Jimmy Gomez (CA-34)

    WASHINGTON, DC – Representative Jimmy Gomez (CA-34) released the following statement after Senate Republicans passed their tax bill: 

    “I’ve opposed this Big Billionaire Bill since its introduction, and I will vote against it again because it steals from the working class and poor to hand huge tax breaks to the billionaire establishment that’s taken root in Washington since they sat front row at Trump’s inauguration.  

    “Senate Republicans didn’t just fold to Donald Trump; they colluded to make the bill even worse for working families, while many cut sweetheart deals to spare their own constituents. With the new Senate changes, 17 million people — real people, not just numbers — will lose their healthcare coverage, and left in place are massive cuts to crucial programs such as Medicaid, SNAP, green energy, and environmental protections. And let’s be clear, adding $4 trillion to the deficit while pretending to be the party of “fiscal responsibility” is about as hypocritical as it gets. 

    “House Democrats won’t be silent, and we won’t back down. We will fight this bill with every tool we’ve got — in the Rules committee, on the floor, and in the months to come. We’ll make sure every American knows exactly who sold them out and who stood up. This bill is a betrayal of working families, and we won’t let them forget it because we sure as hell won’t.”

    Published: July 1, 2025

    WASHINGTON—Today, the U.S. Senate passed the Trump administration’s budget bill, advancing a plan that slashes funding for education, health care, and nutrition—harming students, working families, seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, and more.

    The following can be attributed to NEA President Becky Pringle: 

    “Let’s be clear: this is a betrayal of students, educators, and working families. This isn’t just a political failure, but a moral one as well. The senators who voted for this bill are turning their backs on those who need their support the most. This bill will devastate our schools and communities—all to finance massive tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy.

    “This bill strips essential funding from our schools, further restricts access to higher education, burdens those already struggling, and threatens to leave children sick, students hungry, and futures shattered—all to finance tax breaks for billionaires. When they redirect public dollars to fund private school vouchers, they weaken public education and limit opportunities for students. They siphon crucial funding from public schools—serving 90 percent of students—and redirect it to private institutions with no accountability. Access to affordable, quality higher education will slip further out of reach for countless students.

    “This legislation abandons students, pushes aspiring educators out of the profession, and deprives working families of the basic supports they need to survive. Educators see the harm this bill will cause—and we will not be silent. We will hold accountable any politician who abandons our students and communities. We will organize, we will fight back, and we will not stop until every student, in every ZIP code, has access to the opportunities they deserve.”

  • MIL-OSI USA: SBA Relief Still Available to Texas Small Businesses, Nonprofits and Residents Affected by May Storms

    Source: United States Small Business Administration

    SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is reminding eligible small businesses, nonprofits, and residents in Texas of the Aug. 1 deadline to apply for low interest federal disaster loans to offset physical damage caused by the severe storm and straight-line winds beginning May 8.

    The disaster declaration covers the Texas counties of Brooks, Duval, Jim Wells, Kleberg, Live Oak, Nueces and San Patricio.

    Small businesses and nonprofits are eligible to apply for business physical disaster loans and may borrow up to $2 million to repair or replace disaster-damaged or destroyed real estate, machinery and equipment, inventory, and other business assets.

    Homeowners and renters are eligible to apply for home and personal property loans and may borrow up to $100,000 to replace or repair personal property, such as clothing, furniture, cars, and appliances. Homeowners may apply for up to $500,000 to replace or repair their primary residence.

    Applicants may also be eligible for a loan increase of up to 20% of their physical damage, as verified by the SBA, for mitigation purposes. Eligible mitigation improvements include strengthening structures to protect against high wind damage, upgrading to wind rated garage doors, and installing a safe room or storm shelter to help protect property and occupants from future damage.

    “One distinct advantage of SBA’s disaster loan program is the opportunity to fund upgrades reducing the risk of future storm damage,” said Chris Stallings, associate administrator of the Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience at the SBA. “I encourage businesses and homeowners to work with contractors and mitigation professionals to improve their storm readiness while taking advantage of SBA’s physical damage loans.”

    SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program is available to eligible small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, nurseries and private nonprofit (PNP) organizations impacted by financial losses directly related to this disaster. The SBA is unable to provide disaster loans to agricultural producers, farmers, or ranchers, except for aquaculture enterprises.

    Interest rates can be as low as 4% for small businesses, 3.62% for PNPs, and 2.81% for homeowners and renters with terms up to 30 years. Interest does not begin to accrue, and payments are not due until 12 months from the date of the first loan disbursement. The SBA sets loan amounts and terms, based on each applicant’s financial condition.

    To apply online, visit sba.gov/disaster. Applicants may also call SBA’s Customer Service Center at (800) 659-2955 or email disastercustomerservice@sba.gov for more information on SBA disaster assistance.

  • MIL-OSI USA: SBA Relief Still Available to New Mexico Small Businesses and Private Nonprofits Affected by Severe Storm and Flooding

    Source: United States Small Business Administration

    SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is reminding small businesses and private nonprofit (PNP) organizations in New Mexico of the Aug. 1, 2025 deadline to apply for low interest federal disaster loans to offset economic losses caused by the severe storm and flooding occurring Oct. 19-20, 2024.

    The disaster declaration covers the New Mexico counties of Chaves, De Baca, Eddy, Lea, Lincoln, Otero and Roosevelt.

    Under this declaration, SBA’s Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program is available to small businesses, small agricultural cooperatives, nurseries, and PNPs with financial losses directly related to the disaster. The SBA is unable to provide disaster loans to agricultural producers, farmers, or ranchers, except for small aquaculture enterprises.

    EIDLs are available for working capital needs caused by the disaster and are available even if the business or PNP did not suffer any physical damage. The loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable, and other bills not paid due to the disaster.

    “SBA loans help eligible small businesses and private nonprofits cover operating expenses after a disaster, which is crucial for their recovery,” said Chris Stallings, associate administrator of the Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience at the SBA. “These loans not only help business owners get back on their feet but also play a key role in sustaining local economies in the aftermath of a disaster.”

    The loan amount can be up to $2 million with interest rates as low as 4% for small businesses and 3.25% for PNPs with terms up to 30 years. Interest does not accrue, and payments are not due until 12 months from the date of the first loan disbursement. The SBA sets loan amounts and terms based on each applicant’s financial condition.

  • MIL-OSI Security: U.S. Marshals in Florida Arrest Iowa County Sex Abuse Suspect

    Source: US Marshals Service

    Cedar Rapids, IA – U.S. Marshals in Florida today arrested a man wanted on several sex abuse charges in Iowa. 

    Tyler Michael Treadaway, 27, is wanted in Iowa County in connection to multiple charges of sexual abuse (second-degree) of multiple children. 

    On April 21 investigators with the Iowa County Sheriff’s Office contacted the Northern Iowa Fugitive Task Force requesting assistance in the location and apprehension of Treadaway. Task force officers began to follow up on leads throughout the Midwest and developed information indicating Treadaway had fled following the reports of abuse. Officials began coordinating with the U.S. Marshals Florida/Caribbean Regional Fugitive Task Force (FCRFTF). 

    Officers with the FCRFTF today narrowed their search to an area in the 4900 block of Lofty Pines Circle West in Jacksonville.  U.S. Marshals approached the suspect shortly after noon and Treadaway eventually surrendered to the officers.  Treadaway was arrested without incident and transported for processing.  He will remain in custody until extradition to Iowa.

    The U.S. Marshals Service is the federal government’s primary agency for fugitive investigations. Nationwide, 60 local task forces are dedicated to violent crime reduction by locating and apprehending wanted criminals. These task forces also serve as the central point for agencies to share information on fugitive matters. The Northern Iowa Fugitive Task Force is comprised of officers from the U.S. Marshals Service, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Cedar Rapids Police Department, Waterloo Police Department, Marion Police Department, the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation, and the Iowa Department of Corrections.

  • MIL-OSI Security: Minnesota Sex Offender Sentenced to Over a Year in Prison for Failing to Register

    Source: US FBI

    BILLINGS – A Minnesota man who failed to register as a sex offender was sentenced today to 16 months in prison to be followed by 5 years of supervised release, U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme said.

    Jeremiah Robert Wiberg, 42, pleaded guilty in March 2025 to one count of failure to register as a sex offender.

    U.S. District Judge Susan P. Watters presided.

    The government alleged in court documents that Jeremiah Wiberg is required to register as a sexual offender under SORNA following a 2007 federal conviction for receipt of child pornography. Wiberg has been on federal supervised release for the past eight years and has been revoked off supervised release multiple times.

    Following his sentence of incarceration after being revoked from supervision, Wiberg was released from the BOP in Louisiana on November 8, 2023. Per his travel itinerary with BOP he traveled to Billings, Montana the same day. Wiberg arrived in Billings that day, but he did not check in with United States Probation on that day, nor did he register under SORNA upon his arrival in Billings. His whereabouts were unknown.

    It was determined through records and witness statements that Wiberg was in Montana for a period of a few weeks after he arrived in Billings. Wiberg traveled to Roundup and then left the state. He never registered in Montana.

    On December 27, 2023, law enforcement received information that the Wiberg was staying in Minnesota. Wiberg was subsequently located at a VFW in Forrest Lake, Minnesota. He was arrested on a federal warrant for violating his supervised release. Wiberg had not registered in Minnesota.

    The U.S. Attorney’s Office prosecuted the case. The investigation was conducted by the FBI, U.S. Marshals Service, U.S. Probation Office, Yellowstone County Sheriff’s Office and Montana Division of Criminal Investigation.
