  • MIL-OSI USA: Kennedy renews calls to protect Diego Garcia military base ahead of UK PM Starmer’s visit to Washington

    US Senate News:

    Source: United States Senator John Kennedy (Louisiana)

    Watch Kennedy’s comments here.

    WASHINGTON – Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) urged United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer not to move forward with his plan to hand over the Chagos Islands, including the U.S.-U.K. military base on Diego Garcia, to Mauritius in a speech on the Senate floor. Starmer will travel to Washington this week to meet with President Trump.  

    Key excerpts of the speech are below:

    “Now, there is one other thing you need to know. Mauritius is very close to China. Mauritius has a very lucrative trade agreement with China, and you’ll not be surprised to learn that, after all of this has been developing, China all of a sudden is Mauritius’s best friend. Do you know why? Because if Prime Minister Starmer does this, Mauritius is going to own the base. They are going to own the base.”

    . . .

    “I don’t care what Prime Minister Starmer promises you. The only reason he is doing this is because he feels guilty because the United Nations has said that the United Kingdom should be ashamed of its history and ashamed that it at one time owned colonies. 

    “People of the United Kingdom can feel what they want. That is none of my business. But we have got an American military base there, and it is very important to defend the Indian Ocean against China. . . . I am sorry he feels guilty. He needs to go buy an emotional support pony, but he doesn’t need to give away an American military base.”

    Background

    • The U.K. had previously announced on Oct. 3, 2024, that it had reached a deal with Mauritius to cede the sovereignty of the Chagos Islands. This deal between the U.K. and Mauritius would jeopardize the security of a key U.S.-U.K. military base on Deigo Garcia by potentially exposing the island to Chinese espionage efforts, according to a report from the Policy Exchange.
    • Negotiations between the U.K. and Mauritius followed a years-long pressure campaign from the United Nations to get England out of the Chagos Islands. The Biden administration also reportedly pressured the U.K. to enter the deal with Mauritius before the American and Mauritian elections took place—an idea Prime Minister Keir Starmer initially endorsed. 
    • On Oct. 23, 2024, Kennedy wrote to then-Secretary of State Antony Blinken seeking answers about the Biden administration’s involvement in the deal between the U.K. and Mauritius.
    • Kennedy also penned this op-ed in Oct. 2024 arguing that the Biden administration owes the American people an explanation for its decision to allow this deal between the U.K. and Mauritius to move forward.
    • On Jan. 15, 2025, Starmer announced that he wanted President Trump and his administration to weigh in on any deal struck between the U.K. and Mauritius regarding the transfer of the Chagos Islands, including the transfer of the U.S.-U.K. shared military base on the island of Diego Garcia. 
    • Kennedy published this op-ed in Jan. 2025 welcoming the U.K.’s change of heart after Starmer announced that he would include the Trump administration in the ongoing negotiations with Mauritius.
    • As a congressman, National Security Advisor Mike Waltz has criticized the Oct. 2024 deal, saying, “Should the U.K. cede control of the Chagos to Mauritius, I have no doubt that China will take advantage of the resulting vacuum.” 
    • As a senator, Secretary of State Marco Rubio has similarly condemned the deal and said it “poses a serious threat to our national security interests in the Indian Ocean and threatens critical U.S. military posture in the region.”

  • MIL-OSI United Nations: Deputy Secretary-General’s remarks at the G20 Tax Side Event – Domestic Resource Mobilisation: Bridging the Tax Gap [as prepared for delivery]

    Source: United Nations secretary general

    H.E. Mr. Enoch Godongwana, Minister of Finance of South Africa, 
    Excellencies,
    It is a pleasure to join you for this important discussion on domestic resource mobilization and bridging the tax gap.
    This challenge stands at the heart of financing sustainable development, and demands our urgent attention.
    We are not on track to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. 
    We have an estimated $4 trillion sustainable development financing gap annually. 
    Domestic public finance is essential for financing the Sustainable Development Goals, increasing equity and strengthening macroeconomic stability. 
    Robust fiscal systems, including both tax and expenditure, drive economic growth, industrial transformation and environmental sustainability – contributing to alleviating poverty and reducing inequalities. 
    Beyond raising revenue, taxation remains fundamental to fairness, trust, and sovereignty.
    Yet, after significant increases in taxation in developing countries in the decade before 2009, average tax-to-GDP ratios for all developing country groups are below 2010 levels, remaining far below those of developed countries. 
    Successive shocks over the last two decades have severely impacted the mobilization of domestic resources for development.  
    As global crises intensify, it becomes more critical than ever to increase countries’ taxation capabilities. 
    The good news is that there is a large unmet tax potential in many developing countries. 
    Many governments have invested in tax reforms, demonstrating how nations can unlock unmet potential. 
    Strengthening tax systems requires sustained investment in capacity development based on country needs and priorities.  
    As economies evolve, so must tax systems. 
    The increasingly digitalized economy presents new opportunities, but also poses new challenges to an international tax system that has been designed for traditional business models. 
    We must develop future-ready tax policies that ensure global fair taxation without imposing excessive burdens – both on taxpayers and tax authorities. 
    Many organizations – including the UN, IMF, OECD, World Bank, and regional and national tax bodies – are supporting countries in this effort. 
    Initiatives like Tax Inspectors Without Borders help countries enhance domestic revenue mobilization. The Addis Tax Initiative and broader multilateral and regional efforts provide platforms for collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and technical assistance. 
    However, political will remains insufficient – with countries not investing enough in tax system reform and administration capacity, and donors not delivering promised assistance for supporting revenue mobilization.
    The Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development, in Sevilla in June, offers a pivotal moment to turn commitments for domestic tax reforms into actions, and make tax systems more fair, transparent, efficient and effective.
    In our interconnected world, strengthening countries’ fiscal frameworks must go hand-in-hand with international tax cooperation. 
    Every year, billions of dollars that should fund education, healthcare, and infrastructure are lost to tax avoidance and evasion, illicit financial flows, and financial crime. 
    Africa alone loses approximately $88.6 billion annually to illicit financial flows – around 3.7% of the continent’s GDP – draining resources vital for economic development. 
    The G20 has played an important role in advancing tax transparency and tackling tax avoidance. Expanding the automatic exchange of information and enhancing transparency in beneficial ownership remain paramount. 
    But more must be done to ensure that all countries – particularly those with limited administrative capacity – can fully participate in shaping global tax norms. 
    The ongoing negotiations on a UN Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation, present a historic opportunity for progress toward a fair, inclusive, and effective international tax system.
    Through the Pact for the Future, Member States have committed to improving the inclusiveness and effectiveness of tax cooperation under the UN. 
    Ensuring that international tax rules reflect the diverse needs, priorities, and capacities of all countries is central to this effort.  
    The two early protocols in the UN Convention – on taxation of income from cross-border services in a digitalized and globalized economy and on preventing and resolving tax disputes – can demonstrate an inclusive and impactful approach. 
    The UN process can strengthen global cooperation, enhance legitimacy, certainty, resilience, and fairness of international tax rules, while addressing challenges in domestic resource mobilization and ensuring that all countries have a seat at the table.  
    Today’s discussion is an opportunity to drive forward these critical issues. 
    The United Nations remains fully committed to these efforts.
    Together, we can build a fairer, more transparent, and more effective international tax system – one that provides every country with the means to invest in its future and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
    Thank you.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Luján, Klobuchar, Agriculture Committee Democrats Press USDA on Indiscriminate Layoffs

    US Senate News:

    Source: United States Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-New Mexico)

    Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.), a member of the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee, joined U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Ranking Member of the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee, and all Committee Democrats in pressing the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to explain recent mass layoffs at the Department. The Senators asked how many USDA employees were fired and for a breakdown by state, agency, job position, and veteran status—all details the Administration has not provided to date.

    In a letter to Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins, the Senators wrote: “These widespread layoffs jeopardize USDA’s ability to respond to the ongoing avian flu outbreak, process farm loans, disaster relief and other assistance for farmers, and distribute grants and loans for infrastructure and services that rural Americans rely on.”

    The Senators continued: “We have deep concerns that the termination of thousands of nonpartisan USDA employees and contracts in less than a month will hinder the Department’s ability to address the challenges facing American agriculture and rural America.”

    In addition to Senators Luján and Klobuchar, the letter was joined by Senators Michael Bennet (D-CO), Tina Smith (D-MN), Richard Durbin (D-IL), Cory Booker (D-NJ), Raphael Warnock (D-GA), Peter Welch (D-VT), John Fetterman (D-PA), Adam Schiff (D-CA), and Elissa Slotkin (D-MI).

    Full text of the letter is available here and below.

    Dear Secretary Rollins,

    Amid layoffs across the federal government, we write to express grave concerns regarding the recent layoffs at the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and how they will affect the Department’s ability to serve farmers, ranchers, and rural America.

    On February 14, USDA issued a statement outlining the actions USDA has taken to eliminate positions at the Department and has reportedly terminated or put on administrative leave thousands of nonpartisan public servants across the Department, including at the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service’s (APHIS) National Animal Health Laboratory program office, the Forest Service (FS), the National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), the Farm Service Agency (FSA), and the Rural Development mission area (RD).

    These widespread layoffs jeopardize USDA’s ability to respond to the ongoing avian flu outbreak, process farm loans, disaster relief and other assistance for farmers, and distribute grants and loans for infrastructure and services that rural Americans rely on.

    We request that USDA respond to the following questions:

    1. Please provide a list of the total number of USDA employees terminated or placed on administrative leave since January 20, 2025, with a break down by state, by USDA agency or office (e.g., APHIS, FSA, RD’s Rural Utilities Service and Rural Business and Cooperative Service, FS, NRCS, Food Safety and Inspection Service, Agricultural Research Service, Food and Nutrition Service, Office of General Counsel) by job position, and by veteran status. Please include any individuals whom USDA may have rehired after February 14, 2025.
      1. For the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, please provide a breakdown of the number of employees terminated or placed on leave who worked as part of the National Animal Health Laboratory Network, worked in an office handling animal disease prevention or control, or worked as a veterinarian.
      2. For the Food Safety and Inspection Service, please provide a breakdown of the number of employees terminated or placed on leave who worked as a veterinarian.
      3. For the Agricultural Research Service, please provide a breakdown of the number of employees terminated or placed on leave who worked on research related to animal diseases.
      4. For the Farm Service Agency, please provide a breakdown of the number of employees terminated or placed on leave in each state who processed or handled farm loans.
    2. What criteria and process did the Administration use when determining which employees to terminate or put on leave?
      1. Please provide examples of the termination notices sent out by each USDA agency or office, with any personal identification information removed.
      2. Please provide details on any employees exempted from terminations or leave.
    3. Has the Administration conducted any assessments of how the terminations will impact the services provided by each USDA agency and office? If so, please provide a copy of any such assessments.
    4. Has USDA rescinded any termination letters or rehired any individuals who were terminated on or after January 20, 2025?
      1. If so, what is the total number of individuals USDA attempted to rehire? Please provide a list of the positions that USDA rehired or rescinded termination letters to, with a breakdown by state, USDA agency or office, whether the individual was successfully rehired, as well as an explanation for why the individual was rehired.
    5. Does USDA intend to hire new employees to replace the employees who have recently been terminated? If so, please describe in detail the timeline and expected hiring process to replace employees.
    6. Does USDA have any plans to terminate any additional employees? If so, please describe in detail what criteria and process USDA will use to terminate additional employees and the estimated number of employees that will be terminated in each USDA agency and office.

    We have deep concerns that the termination of thousands of nonpartisan USDA employees and contracts in less than a month will hinder the Department’s ability to address the challenges facing American agriculture and rural America. Please provide responses to the information requested in questions 1, 2, 3, and 4 not later than Friday, February 28, and responses to questions 5 and 6 not later than Friday, March 7. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter.

    Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Rt Hon Hilary Benn MP and the Tánaiste, Minister for Foreign Affairs, Trade and Minister for Defence, Simon Harris TD.

    The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Rt Hon Hilary Benn MP, and the Tánaiste, Minister for Foreign Affairs, Trade and Minister for Defence, Simon Harris TD, met this evening [Wednesday 26 February] at Iveagh House, Dublin.

    The discussions marked the first official in-person engagement between the two following the formation of the new Irish Government.

    Speaking afterwards, the Secretary of State said:

    It was a pleasure to meet with the Tánaiste this evening in Dublin, to congratulate him in person, and wish him well in his new role. The UK’s relationship with Ireland is of great importance and I look forward to continuing to work closely with the Tánaiste, and the whole Irish Government, to further enhance the partnership between our two countries.

    We had a warm and productive discussion, focusing on the strength of the bilateral relationship, our shared commitment to the Good Friday Agreement, and the importance of upholding political stability in Northern Ireland. I also outlined the importance of the Northern Ireland Executive’s work to reform and modernise public services, an issue that is so important to people, as I set out in my speech at Ulster University last month.

    In addition, the Tánaiste and I discussed progress in discussions between our two governments in seeking an approach to addressing the legacy of the past in Northern Ireland that all communities can have confidence in.

    We agreed on the importance of a continuing strong and close relationship between the UK and Irish Governments as we work together on a range of issues. This will be reaffirmed by the first UK-Ireland Summit next month between the Prime Minister and Taoiseach.

    CFO Commentary
    Commentary on the quarter by Colette Kress, NVIDIA’s executive vice president and chief financial officer, is available at https://investor.nvidia.com.

    Conference Call and Webcast Information
    NVIDIA will conduct a conference call with analysts and investors to discuss its fourth quarter and fiscal 2025 financial results and current financial prospects today at 2 p.m. Pacific time (5 p.m. Eastern time). A live webcast (listen-only mode) of the conference call will be accessible at NVIDIA’s investor relations website, https://investor.nvidia.com. The webcast will be recorded and available for replay until NVIDIA’s conference call to discuss its financial results for its first quarter of fiscal 2026.

    Non-GAAP Measures
    To supplement NVIDIA’s condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the company uses non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP other income (expense), net, non-GAAP net income, non-GAAP net income, or earnings, per diluted share, and free cash flow. For NVIDIA’s investors to be better able to compare its current results with those of previous periods, the company has shown a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. These reconciliations adjust the related GAAP financial measures to exclude stock-based compensation expense, acquisition-related and other costs, other, gains from non-marketable and publicly-held equity securities, net, interest expense related to amortization of debt discount, and the associated tax impact of these items where applicable. Free cash flow is calculated as GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less both purchases related to property and equipment and intangible assets and principal payments on property and equipment and intangible assets. NVIDIA believes the presentation of its non-GAAP financial measures enhances the user’s overall understanding of the company’s historical financial performance. The presentation of the company’s non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the company’s financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the company’s non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

  • MIL-OSI: NTA and Enlight Sign a $22m Power Purchase Agreement

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NTA, a government-owned company building the light rail and metro in the Tel Aviv metropolitan region, will operate the mass transit network using clean energy supplied by Enlight

    The agreement significantly reduces NTA’s electricity costs

    TEL AVIV, Israel, Feb. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Enlight Renewable Energy (“Enlight”, “the Company”, NASDAQ: ENLT, TASE: ENLT.TA), a leading renewable energy platform, announced today that NTA Metropolitan Mass Transit System Ltd. (“NTA”) has signed a 5-year PPA with an aggregate value of $22m, and also includes an option to significantly increase purchase volumes through the life of the contract.

    The agreement was signed within the framework of Israel’s deregulated electricity market, which allows independent power producers to enter into direct sales agreements with consumers. The agreement follows others reached by Enlight in recent months, with NTA joining Big Shopping Centers, SodaStream, Applied Materials, Amdocs, and other noteworthy companies in purchasing green electricity from Enlight. Serving as examples of environmental responsibility, these firms’ decision to switch to clean energy consumption will positively impact Israel’s economy. In January 2025, the Weizmann Institute of Science, based in Rehovot, signed an agreement with Enlight to supply all of the Institute’s electricity needs for the next 12 years.

    The agreement with Enlight will help NTA, which is building the light rail and metro networks in the Tel Aviv metropolitan region, to reduce its electricity costs significantly. It will also reduce annual carbon emissions equivalent to the planting of approximately 380,000 new trees per year or removing about 9,000 private fuel-powered vehicles from the road annually.

    Itamar Ben Meir, CEO of NTA, commented, “We welcome this important agreement with Enlight. The mass transit system being built by NTA is good news for the congested Tel Aviv region, and is similar to advanced countries around the world in its use of renewable energy. Green power dramatically cuts air pollution as well as representing a significant cost savings. Each light rail train removes more than 100 private cars from the road, reducing traffic congestion and wasted time, while increasing comfort and safety.”

    Gilad Peled, CEO of Enlight MENA, commented, “Enlight congratulates NTA on its transition to clean and environmentally friendly energy. The deal with Enlight will allow NTA to save millions of Shekels of public funds on its electricity bill, while simultaneously serving as an environmental leader. The agreement drives Enlight MENA’s growth further after doubling our revenues in Israel last year to over $150m. This agreement further reinforces the fact that today, clean energy is also the cheapest form of energy. Moreover, clean energy’s rising share of the deregulated power market leads to greater competition and lower electricity prices for all Israeli consumers.”

    About NTA

    NTA is a government-owned company building metropolitan Tel Aviv’s mass transit network as part of the largest infrastructure project ever initiated in Israel. The network comprises three light rail lines, including the Red Line, which already transports millions of passengers every month, and the Green and Purple Lines, which are expected to begin commercial operation in the coming years. The light rail network will be joined by three metro lines that will connect into the Tel Aviv region from Rehovot in the south and Kfar Saba in the north. With an annual expected ridership of 850 million passengers and 2 million trips per day, the project’s total cost is estimated at approximately ILS 200bn.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Attorney General Pam Bondi Dismisses DEI Lawsuits Involving Police Officers and Firefighters, Advances President Trump’s Mandate to End Illegal DEI Policies

    Source: US State Government of Utah

    This week, Attorney General Pam Bondi directed the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division to dismiss lawsuits against various jurisdictions across the country involving the hiring of police officers and firefighters. These lawsuits, launched by the previous administration, unjustly targeted fire and police departments for using standard aptitude tests to screen firefighter and police officer candidates.

    “American communities deserve firefighters and police officers to be chosen for their skill and dedication to public safety – not to meet DEI quotas,” said Attorney General Bondi.

    Despite no evidence of intentional discrimination — only statistical disparities — the prior administration branded the aptitude tests at issue in these cases as discriminatory in an effort to advance a DEI agenda. And it sought to coerce cities into conducting DEI-based hiring in response and spending millions of dollars in taxpayer funds for payouts to previous applicants who had scored lower on the tests, regardless of qualifications.

    President Trump and Attorney General Bondi are dedicated to ending illegal discrimination and restoring merit-based opportunity nationwide, and in all sectors. But doing so is particularly important for front-line public-safety workers who protect our nation, including firefighters and police officers. Prioritizing DEI over merit when selecting firefighters and police officers jeopardizes public safety.

    Today’s dismissal is an early step toward eradicating illegal DEI preferences across the government and in the private sector.

    IMF Executive Board Approves New 40-month US$1.4 billion Extended Fund Facility Arrangement for El Salvador

    February 26, 2025

    • The IMF Executive Board approved a new 40-month arrangement under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) for El Salvador, with access equivalent to US$1.4 billion. The Board’s decision allows the authorities an immediate disbursement equivalent to around US$113 million.
    • The IMF-supported program aims to ensure conditions are in place to boost El Salvador’s growth prospects and resilience by strengthening public finances, rebuilding external and financial buffers, and improving governance and transparency. Bitcoin risks are also being addressed.

    Washington, DC: Today the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) approved a 40-month extended arrangement under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) for El Salvador, with access of SDR 1033.92 million (around US$1.4 billion, or 360 percent of quota). The Board’s approval allows the authorities an immediate disbursement of SDR 86.16 million, equivalent to around US$113 million. The arrangement is expected to catalyze additional multilateral financial support, for a combined overall financing package of over US$3.5 billion over the program period.

    Building on recent progress, the authorities’ IMF-supported program aims at addressing macroeconomic imbalances and strengthening governance and transparency, with the objective of boosting El Salvador’s growth prospects and resilience. Under the program, the primary balance will improve by 3½ percent of GDP over three years, underpinned initially by a rationalization of the wage bill, while protecting priority social and infrastructure spending. This will be complemented by measures to rebuild reserve buffers and bolster financial stability, as well as actions to strengthen fiscal transparency and anti-corruption and Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) frameworks. The program also addresses risks arising from the Bitcoin project, including by making acceptance of Bitcoin voluntary and by confining public sector engagement in Bitcoin-related activities and transactions in and purchases of Bitcoins.

    Following the Executive Board’s discussion on El Salvador, Mr. Nigel Clarke, Deputy Managing Director and Acting Chair, issued the following statement:

    “The Salvadorean economy is steadily expanding on the back of robust remittances and tourism, and a greatly improved security situation. External deficits have narrowed, inflation has fallen, and recent liability management operations have reduced near-term financing needs. Nevertheless, El Salvador continues to face deep macroeconomic imbalances, stemming from high debt and weak external and financial buffers, as well as barriers to investment and productivity. The authorities’ economic program, supported by an Extended Fund Facility arrangement, aims to strengthen fiscal and external sustainability while creating the conditions for stronger and more inclusive growth.

    “The Fund-supported program is underpinned by an ambitious growth-friendly fiscal consolidation, aiming to put public debt on a firm downward path and building fiscal buffers. The consolidation is being supported by raising public spending efficiency and reforms of the civil service and the pension system over time, while providing sufficient space to protect priority social and infrastructure spending.

    “The program will enhance El Salvador’s resilience to shocks, through a gradual and determined strengthening of external and financial sector buffers. A plan to increase banks’ liquidity buffers has already been approved, with Fund financing also supporting government buffers and central bank reserves. Improvements in regulation and supervision as well as a new financial stability legislation will also bolster financial stability and inclusion.

    “Envisaged improvements in governance and transparency are expected to boost confidence and private investment. Early steps have been taken through the enactment of a new Anti-Corruption legislation, and publication by the Court of Accounts of audits of financial statements of government agencies and COVID audits. These will be followed by upgrades to procurement and accountability processes, as well as the strengthening of AML/CFT frameworks.

    “The potential risks of the Bitcoin project are being addressed in line with Fund policies and with Fund advice to the authorities. Prior actions include legal reforms that have made acceptance of Bitcoin by the private sector voluntary and ensured that tax payments are made only in U.S. dollars. Transparency of the public crypto e-wallet has been strengthened, and the government plans to gradually unwind its participation in the e-wallet. Going forward, program commitments will confine government engagement in Bitcoin-related economic activities, as well as government transactions in and purchases of Bitcoin. Regulation and supervision of digital assets will be enhanced in line with evolving international best practices.

    “Decisive ownership and implementation and broad political and public support will be critical to ensure the program’s success. Agile policy making and contingency planning will be essential to manage downside risks in the context of dollarization. Continued financial and technical support from other official creditors will also be necessary to support program implementation.’’

  • MIL-OSI New Zealand: Four-year term: a chance for a more mature democracy

    Source: ACT Party

    ACT Leader David Seymour is welcoming the announcement that legislation enabling a four-year Parliamentary term will advance to select committee.

    The legislation is modelled on a draft Bill produced by ACT, and a commitment to advance it to select committee was secured in ACT’s coalition agreement.

    “Improving our approach to law making is how we secure more economic growth, better social services, better regulation, and ultimately give the next generation more reason to stay here,” says Seymour.

    “A four-year term will lead to more accountability and better law making, giving Kiwis more time to see whether political promises translate into results, so they can vote accordingly.

    “Polling shows more Kiwis support the four-year term than oppose it.

    “It’s important to point out that ACT’s proposal ensures the term can only be extended if the Government turns control of Select Committees over to the Opposition. This introduces balance by giving the Opposition more power to scrutinise and question Ministers, officials, and legislation.

    “ACT’s proposal means such a significant constitutional change will only come into effect with the consent of New Zealanders. If the legislation is supported by Parliament, it will then be subject to a public referendum.

    “I’m proud that ACT has started another tough conversation. We look forward to Kiwis having their say at select committee. Ultimately, we’re trying to achieve better law making a more mature democracy. That’s worth a constructive debate.”

    Source: Office of United States Attorneys

    CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – On February 26, 2025, Rebekah Proctor, 33, of Shelbyville, Tennessee, pleaded guilty in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee in Chattanooga to one count of willful failure to collect, account for, and pay over a tax, in violation of Title 26, United States Code, Section 7202, and one count of wire fraud, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1343.               

    Proctor will be sentenced on July 11, 2025, by the Honorable Travis R. McDonough, United States District Judge. She faces up to five years of imprisonment on the tax offense and up to 30 years of imprisonment for wire fraud.

    According to the plea agreement filed in this case, Proctor operated Franklin Springs Academy, a daycare business in middle Tennessee.  Although she withheld income taxes and Federal Insurance Contributions Act (“FICA”) taxes (commonly known as Social Security and Medicare taxes) from her employees’ paychecks and additionally owed the employer’s portion of the FICA taxes, Proctor willfully failed to truthfully account for and pay such taxes to the IRS for the first quarter of 2022.  For that quarter alone, she owed tens of thousands of dollars in unpaid taxes.

    Proctor also fraudulently applied for and received a COVID-relief Paycheck Protection Program (“PPP”) loan to which she was not entitled.  Proctor made several false certifications on her April 4, 2020, application for over $100,000 in PPP funds, including that she was current on her federal tax obligations and that the loan funds would be used to retain workers and for other business expenses.  In fact, Proctor used the funds for her own personal expenses and for her husband’s personal expenses.

    As set forth in her plea agreement with the government, Proctor agreed that the restitution owed to the IRS, for her employment taxes only, is $893,232.26, which includes unpaid taxes plus penalties and interest required by law.  She further agreed that the restitution owed to the Small Business Association is $223,800, which is comprised of the $105,800 in PPP loan proceeds she received in April 2020 and $118,000 in additional fraudulently obtained PPP loan proceeds she received in February 2021.

    United States Attorney Francis M. Hamilton III of the Eastern District of Tennessee and Special Agent in Charge Donald “Trey” Eakins of IRS Criminal Investigation, Charlotte Field Office, made the announcement.

  • MIL-OSI USA: In Joint Senate-House Veterans Hearing, King Stresses Supporting Servicemembers Shifting to Civilian Life

    US Senate News:

    Source: United States Senator for Maine Angus King
    WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a joint hearing before the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee (SVAC) and the House Veterans Affairs Committee (HVAC), Senator Angus King (I-Maine), spoke about the importance of ensuring a smooth transition from active duty status to civilian life for veterans with James LaCoursiere, Jr., the National Commander of The American Legion. In the exchange, Senator King referenced the bipartisan TAP Promotion Act, legislation he championed that would proactively help veterans in the Transition Assistance Program (TAP) as they begin applying for their well-deserved benefits, and Commander LaCoursiere voiced his support for the bill — calling it “very critical.” According to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), approximately 200,000 servicemembers make the transition to civilian life each year. Additionally, the first few months after leaving active duty are often the most fragile for veterans, putting them at an increased risk for self-harm and suicide. According to a National Veteran Suicide Prevention Annual Report, suicide is the second leading cause of death in veterans under the age of 45.
    “Now, I do want to talk about transition for a minute. Be The One is one of the most important initiatives going on in the country right now. Thank you for staffing that, for setting it up and for making it actually happen. I have a simple formula for transition. I think the Defense Department should spend as much money on transition as they do on recruitment. One of the things we are working on here is something called the TAP Promotion Act which would bring Veteran Service Organizations (VSO) into the process of transition. We have to have a warm hand off. I think you quoted a number, a very large percentage of the suicides are at the first year or two after transition. That is a place where we really need to give some effort. Commander, tell me about how important you think transition is,” said Senator King.
    “Thank you very much for that question. The TAP program is very critical. It is a very important element and critical that [veterans] get 365 days to transition and educate themselves on it. As we all know, the more knowledge you have, it gives us a much better sense of direction on where to go and what you need but it serves you in the right direction for gainful future employment. As we all know, employment starts you in the right direction for stability with your family and it also drives the economy forward. Too often we sit back and they don’t know where to go for assistance when they get out of the military. I am not saying the second you get out of the military that you need assistance, but down the road you may need that assistance. They need to be afforded all the tools and resources and even get a start in their next career as they take off the uniform, replied Commander LaCoursiere.
    “My vision is someone meet you at the airport when you come home and says, ‘welcome home, here’s what the VA can do for you — here are the programs. Give me a call if you need any help.’ That is where things like the Be The One Program can be a difference. Thank you for what you’re doing. Be our eyes and ears and let us know what is happening out there so we can protect and defend the most sacred obligation this government has which is to its veterans,” said Senator King.
    Representing one of the states with the highest rates of military families and veterans per capita, Senator King has been a staunch advocate for America’s servicemembers and veterans. A member of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee (SVAC), he works to ensure American veterans receive their earned benefits and that the VA is properly implementing various programs such as the PACT Act, the State Veterans Homes Domiciliary Care Flexibility Act, and the John Scott Hannon Act. Earlier this month, in a letter to VA Secretary Doug Collins, Senator King joined his colleagues in urging for immediate action to secure veterans’ personal information provided by VA or other agencies to Elon Musk and his “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE), a measure that would protect millions of veterans’ medical records stored in VA’s computer systems. Previously, Senator King introduced the Lethal Means Safe Storage for Veteran Suicide Prevention Act to provide firearm storage to veterans in an effort to reduce suicides among the veteran population. In addition, he helped pass the Veterans COLA Act, which increased benefits for 30,000 Maine veterans and their families. Recently, Senator King introduced bipartisan legislation alongside SVAC Chairman Senator Jerry Moran (R-KS) to improve care coordination for veterans who rely on both VA health care and Medicare. This week, Senator King was honored by the Disabled American Veterans as its 2025 Legislator of the Year. Last year, he was recognized by the Wounded Warrior Project as the 2024 Legislator of the Year for his “outstanding legislative effort and achievement to improve the lives of the wounded, ill, and injured veterans.”

    Colorado lawmakers: “The decision to fire these employees will reverberate throughout Colorado’s economy and across the places and resources the agency is meant to protect nationwide.”
    WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Senators John Hickenlooper and Michael Bennet and U.S. Representatives Diana DeGette, Joe Neguse, Brittany Pettersen, and Jason Crow denounced the Trump administration’s recent firing of 2,300 employees from the Department of the Interior (DOI), and demanded that they be immediately reinstated. The mass firings– including at the National Park Service, Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs – threaten to limit Coloradan’s access to public lands and to weaken Colorado’s economy. 
    “The 6,000 DOI professionals in Colorado fill a critical role, not just within DOI but in communities across our state,” the Colorado lawmakers wrote.
    “Without these employees, the administration will not be able to process permits for activities on public land, including for grazing and energy production. DOI capacity for building our wildfire resilience and protecting our headwaters will diminish,” they continued.  
    “The indiscriminate and short-sighted nature of the firings will hamper the overall mission of the DOI, with the public and our natural resources bearing the brunt of this decision…We urge you to reinstate the recently terminated employees in their positions immediately.”
    Following Trump’s February 11th executive order, the DOI fired 1,000 employees at the National Park Service, 800 at the Bureau of Land Management, 420 at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and 260 at the U.S. Geological Survey. The Trump administration also fired employees at the Bureau of Indian affairs, a historically underfunded federal agency. The firings followed an even larger exodus of roughly 2,700 DOI employees who voluntarily accepted the Trump administration’s reckless “Fork in the Road” resignation offer. 
    Hickenlooper has sent multiple letters pushing back against the Trump administration’s blanket cuts to the federal government including:
    A letter sounding the alarm over the Office of Personnel Management’s blanket buyout offer to federal employees;
    A letter urging Department of the Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to immediately resolve staff shortages at the National Park Service after they fired thousands of workers; and 
    A letter demanding SBA Administrator Loeffler address the devastating impacts of the arbitrary mass firings of SBA public servants.  
    Full text of the letter is available HERE and below:
    Dear Secretary Burgum:
    We write to condemn the firing of over 2,300 Department of the Interior (DOI) employees, particularly those based in Colorado. The 6,000 DOI professionals in Colorado fill a critical role, not just within DOI but in communities across our state. DOI employees protect our public lands, fulfill our trust responsibilities to Tribes, conserve wildlife resources, support access to recreation on some of our state’s most beautiful landscapes, and manage land for grazing, energy, mining, and other activities. A robust workforce is critical to fulfilling DOI’s mission to steward our natural resources and cultural heritage. We urge you to promptly reinstate the terminated employees in Colorado and across the country.
    DOI employees manage and conserve the resources that are an essential part of what makes Colorado so special – including our 13 National Park Service (NPS) units, 8.3 million acres of public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), and 8 wildlife refuges managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. These workers keep our lands accessible to the public and help boost our state’s $14 billion recreational economy. Already, the repercussions of the terminations are evident at Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument in Colorado, which now needs to close two days a week due to a lack of staffing. Blanket dismissals of NPS staff and other land management employees will continue to have a direct effect on public access for visitors statewide, as well as on the businesses in gateway communities surrounding federal lands.
    The decision to fire these employees will reverberate throughout Colorado’s economy and across the places and resources the agency is meant to protect nationwide. DOI’s land management employees often work in rural areas, where communities are tight-knit and often tied closely to the land – and workforce impacts will ripple across those local economies. In many places across Colorado, land management agencies are already challenged by the recruitment and retention of employees in remote areas, including those with a high cost of living. This unjust termination of employees will make management of lands in those areas all the more difficult.
    Just as the land managers in the field are critical to stewardship of our resources, so are the thousands of DOI scientists, grant managers, engineers, and other professionals based out of the Denver Federal Center. The agency’s decreased capacity from firing these employees is compounded by the administration’s recent hiring freeze and the 2,700 DOI employees that accepted the administration’s “Fork in the Road” deferred resignation offer. The current volatility and uncertainty affect DOI’s workforce as a whole, not just those who were fired – and that in turn threatens both our economy and Coloradans’ access to the places they love.
    We also object strongly to the fact that many who were terminated in this mass firing were told they were dismissed for performance reasons, regardless of the employees’ actual performance. The probationary employees who were fired range from those who joined the DOI workforce within the past year, bringing fresh enthusiasm and perspectives, to those with such strong experience that they were recently promoted. Without these employees, the administration will not be able to process permits for activities on public land, including for grazing and energy production. DOI capacity for building our wildfire resilience and protecting our headwaters will diminish. The indiscriminate and short-sighted nature of the firings will hamper the overall mission of the DOI, with the public and our natural resources bearing the brunt of this decision.
    DOI’s recent terminations hold serious on-the-ground consequences for our lands, waters, communities, Tribes, ranchers, and our state’s broader economy. We urge you to reinstate the recently terminated employees in their positions immediately.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Scott, Wicker, Griffith Push Back on EPA Overreach

    US Senate News:

    Source: United States Senator for South Carolina Tim Scott
    WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Senator Roger Wicker (R-Miss.), and Congressman Morgan Griffith (R-Va.) introduced a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to overturn the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Rubber Tire Manufacturing National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) rule. Amendments to NESHAP were finalized by the Biden administration in November 2024, despite the EPA’s own risk review finding that the rule was not necessary to protect public health or the environment and could not quantify any public health benefits from the rule.
    “The amended Biden NESHAP rule is counterproductive in every sense and the type of government inefficiency and overreach Americans are sick of. It will increase emissions and cost job creators millions in compliance expenses each year,” said Senator Scott.“I’m proud to join my Republican colleagues in pushing back on this rule that only serves to hurt South Carolina workers, businesses, and our economy.”
    “As Chairman of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Environment, a key focus of mine is to get the EPA back to a compliance-focused regulatory regime,” said Representative Griffith. “In the waning days of the Biden Administration, scores of ill-advised, unreasonable regulations were issued to overburden American industry. Rubber tire manufacturers already comply with stringent air emission rules. I am introducing this CRA resolution to roll back a last-minute Biden EPA regulation that was based on questionable data and imposes onerous one-size-fits-all pollution controls. I am glad to join this legislative fight with strong leaders like Senators Tim Scott and Roger Wicker.”
    “In the final weeks of the Biden-Harris Administration, the EPA implemented burdensome rules that increase costs and harm American manufactures,” said House Committee on Energy and Commerce Chairman Guthrie. “Unsurprisingly, the EPA failed to collect the necessary and specific data needed to inform this rulemaking, but went ahead and implemented a new set of emissions standards that will raise prices for consumers and put family-sustaining jobs at risk anyway. I’m grateful to Chairman Griffith for his work and look forward to working with my Energy and Commerce Committee colleagues as well as President Trump and Administrator Zeldin to address this issue.” 
    “Tire manufacturing facilities have long understood and complied with the existing National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) standards to reduce hazardous air pollutant emissions from rubber mixers. However, the agency’s revised final NESHAP rule actually creates an adverse environmental impact, while imposing significant financial burdens on tire manufacturing facilities and providing negligible, if any, benefits. While we continue to work with the EPA, we urge Congress to take action to undo this final rule in order to limit the deleterious effects on the U.S. tire manufacturing industry, the U.S. economy, and the environment,” said Anne Forristall Luke, President and CEO, U.S. Tire Manufacturers Association (USTMA).
    In addition to Senators Scott and Wicker, the resolution is cosponsored by Senators Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.), and Tim Sheehy (R-Mont.).
    In the House of Representatives, additional cosponsors include Reps. Troy Balderson (R-Ohio), Randy Weber (R-Texas), Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas), Bob Latta (R-Ohio), and Buddy Carter (R-Ga.).
    BACKGROUND
    The Rubber Tire Manufacturing source category is comprised of facilities that produce rubber components such as rubber compounds, tread, tire cords, and liners. The category is split into rubber processing, tire production, tire cord production, and puncture seal application subcategories. 
    In 2002, the original Rubber Tire Manufacturing NESHAP established emissions limits for the tire production, tire cord production, and puncture seal application subcategories.
    In 2020, a residual risk and technology review (RTR) found that the current NESHAP provided an ample margin of safety to protect public health and that the risk associated with air emissions from rubber tire manufacturing was acceptable. The RTR also clarified that emissions during startup, shutdown, and malfunction are subject to the NESHAP.
    The DC Court determined in Louisiana Environmental Action Network v. EPA that the agency should address unregulated emissions from a source category when the EPA conducts an eight-year technological review as required by the Clean Air Act.
    On November 16, 2023, the EPA proposed the emission standards to address unregulated hazardous air pollutants from the rubber processing subcategory pursuant to the decision in Louisiana Environmental Action Network.
    The EPA’s risk review found that the rule was not necessary to protect public health or the environment and could not quantify any public health benefits from the rule.
    To comply with the rule, tire manufacturers will have to install regenerative thermal oxidizers (RTOs), which will cause an increase in CO2 emissions. As a result, the EPA quantified public health disbenefits associated with the rule ranging from $2.7 million to $8.1 million per year, in addition to $13.3 million per year in compliance costs.

    IMF Executive Board Approves New 40-month US$1.4 billion Extended Fund Facility Arrangement for El Salvador

    February 26, 2025

    • The IMF Executive Board approved a new 40-month arrangement under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) for El Salvador, with access equivalent to US$1.4 billion. The Board’s decision allows the authorities an immediate disbursement equivalent to around US$113 million.
    • The IMF-supported program aims to ensure conditions are in place to boost El Salvador’s growth prospects and resilience by strengthening public finances, rebuilding external and financial buffers, and improving governance and transparency. Bitcoin risks are also being addressed.

    Washington, DC: Today the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) approved a 40-month extended arrangement under the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) for El Salvador, with access of SDR 1033.92 million (around US$1.4 billion, or 360 percent of quota). The Board’s approval allows the authorities an immediate disbursement of SDR 86.16 million, equivalent to around US$113 million. The arrangement is expected to catalyze additional multilateral financial support, for a combined overall financing package of over US$3.5 billion over the program period.

    Building on recent progress, the authorities’ IMF-supported program aims at addressing macroeconomic imbalances and strengthening governance and transparency, with the objective of boosting El Salvador’s growth prospects and resilience. Under the program, the primary balance will improve by 3½ percent of GDP over three years, underpinned initially by a rationalization of the wage bill, while protecting priority social and infrastructure spending. This will be complemented by measures to rebuild reserve buffers and bolster financial stability, as well as actions to strengthen fiscal transparency and anti-corruption and Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) frameworks. The program also addresses risks arising from the Bitcoin project, including by making acceptance of Bitcoin voluntary and by confining public sector engagement in Bitcoin-related activities and transactions in and purchases of Bitcoins.

    Following the Executive Board’s discussion on El Salvador, Mr. Nigel Clarke, Deputy Managing Director and Acting Chair, issued the following statement:

    “The Salvadorean economy is steadily expanding on the back of robust remittances and tourism, and a greatly improved security situation. External deficits have narrowed, inflation has fallen, and recent liability management operations have reduced near-term financing needs. Nevertheless, El Salvador continues to face deep macroeconomic imbalances, stemming from high debt and weak external and financial buffers, as well as barriers to investment and productivity. The authorities’ economic program, supported by an Extended Fund Facility arrangement, aims to strengthen fiscal and external sustainability while creating the conditions for stronger and more inclusive growth.

    “The Fund-supported program is underpinned by an ambitious growth-friendly fiscal consolidation, aiming to put public debt on a firm downward path and building fiscal buffers. The consolidation is being supported by raising public spending efficiency and reforms of the civil service and the pension system over time, while providing sufficient space to protect priority social and infrastructure spending.

    “The program will enhance El Salvador’s resilience to shocks, through a gradual and determined strengthening of external and financial sector buffers. A plan to increase banks’ liquidity buffers has already been approved, with Fund financing also supporting government buffers and central bank reserves. Improvements in regulation and supervision as well as a new financial stability legislation will also bolster financial stability and inclusion.

    “Envisaged improvements in governance and transparency are expected to boost confidence and private investment. Early steps have been taken through the enactment of a new Anti-Corruption legislation, and publication by the Court of Accounts of audits of financial statements of government agencies and COVID audits. These will be followed by upgrades to procurement and accountability processes, as well as the strengthening of AML/CFT frameworks.

    “The potential risks of the Bitcoin project are being addressed in line with Fund policies and with Fund advice to the authorities. Prior actions include legal reforms that have made acceptance of Bitcoin by the private sector voluntary and ensured that tax payments are made only in U.S. dollars. Transparency of the public crypto e-wallet has been strengthened, and the government plans to gradually unwind its participation in the e-wallet. Going forward, program commitments will confine government engagement in Bitcoin-related economic activities, as well as government transactions in and purchases of Bitcoin. Regulation and supervision of digital assets will be enhanced in line with evolving international best practices.

    “Decisive ownership and implementation and broad political and public support will be critical to ensure the program’s success. Agile policy making and contingency planning will be essential to manage downside risks in the context of dollarization. Continued financial and technical support from other official creditors will also be necessary to support program implementation.’’

  • MIL-OSI New Zealand: Drought conditions declared across Taranaki

    Source: New Zealand Government

    Agriculture Minister Todd McClay has today classified drought conditions in Taranaki as a medium-scale adverse event, acknowledging the challenging situation facing farmers and growers in the region.

    “Conditions on the ground are becoming extremely difficult with limited feed and pasture available,” Mr McClay says.

    “Taranaki is experiencing hot, dry conditions and below average rainfall. This has affected pasture growth and farmers have had to feed-out or sell livestock earlier to fill the gap.”

    Mr McClay said that the government was making $30,000 available to rural support groups who were working closely with farmers on the ground in Taranaki. 

    “I know farmers and growers in other parts of the country are experiencing dry conditions and I’ve instructed MPI to monitor the situation on the ground closely,” Mr McClay said. 

    Rural Communities Minister Mark Patterson says the weather conditions are challenging.

    “The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) has been working with sector groups, regional bodies, and farmers to provide extra support. This has included attending farmer meetings in southern and coastal Taranaki to discuss options for getting through and proving practical tips,” Mr Patterson says.

    “This classification unlocks further support for farmers and growers, including tax relief, and it enables the Ministry of Social Development to consider Rural Assistance Payments.”

    Farmers and growers who require support are encouraged to contact their local Rural Support Trust on 0800 787 254.

    E&OE TRANSCRIPT

    Topic: Expanding crisis accommodation services for First Nations communities.

    MATT SMITH, LABOR CANDIDATE FOR LEICHHARDT: Morning. My name is Matt Smith, the ALP’s candidate for the Federal seat of Leichhardt, standing here at Warringu today. I’ve just been out the back speaking to some of the workforce here, Davina and Karen, and they are doing some absolutely fantastic work keeping women and children safe right across the region. Every woman and child deserves safety. Organisations such as Warringu are able to provide that support for those fleeing domestic violence situations and preparing the women and the children, helping them get back onto their feet and back into the community.

    We’re here today specifically as well for an announcement for additional targeted funding for the Torres Strait, a bit over $1.2 million to improve the services of women’s shelters up there to make sure they too can provide culturally appropriate services for their women and children. Shelters is an interesting term. There are a lot of implications behind it. The guys here at Warringu prefer the new term healing places, which is what they are. It gives the women and children space to heal, become themselves and get back out and live their best lives. I’ll hand over now to Minister Rishworth who has more detail.

    AMANDA RISHWORTH, MINISTER FOR SOCIAL SERVICES: It’s absolutely wonderful to be here with Matt Smith and we’ve just been speaking to those working at Warringu, an Aboriginal-controlled organisation providing important safety safety to women and children escaping family and domestic violence. What we heard today is the activities they are undertaking as a result of a grant that we provided them of over a million dollars. And part of that work is about building the capacity of the women’s shelters across the whole of Far North Queensland. Hearing how they’re supporting women’s shelters across Far North Queensland, to feel like they’re not alone, to support them with extra clinical expertise and governance support. This is really important work and what it does is it enables the whole network of 13 different women’s shelters to be able to build capacity and improve their service offering. But today what we’re also announcing is an immediate boost of $1.25 million to be directed into the Torres Strait.

    We know that many Torres Strait Islander women and children don’t want to come all the way to Cairns if they are wanting to get out of a family and domestic violence situation. The message we heard very clear as we developed our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Action Plan, but also through the rapid review, was that women and children don’t want to leave the Torres Strait to find safety. And that’s why the immediate funding boost that we’re announcing today for the Torres Strait will enable that organisation up there, the women’s shelter up there, to expand their capacity and to do more work with women and children escaping family and domestic violence. This is one of just one of the initiatives that we have taken as a government for funding family and domestic violence. It builds on our National Plan to end violence against women and children in one generation, and of course, our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Action Plan that was actually developed alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. This is really important investment and funding, and I look forward to seeing the results that it will be able to deliver.

    JOURNALIST: What exactly will this money go towards? I mean, will it be more employees? Will it be more buildings?

    AMANDA RISHWORTH: This funding is about expanding the capacity of the shelter. It really is flexible funding to respond to local need. What we heard here at Warringu was the funding went particularly to workers that can work with sexual violence in particular, because that is something that has not been focused on as much as they would like to. The funding also went to connecting up and supporting shelters across the region so that they can have better systems in place to support women and children. So, we will work with the local shelter on Thursday Island to work out what investment they need to improve the capacity of their shelter. So, it is deliberately designed to be flexible to meet local needs. And hearing from Warringu today, they said the flexibility is critically important so they can meet the needs of local community.

    JOURNALIST: Why have you decided to start this funding in the Torres Strait? Are the domestic violence rates particularly bad there?

    AMANDA RISHWORTH: It is not because there is more violence in the Torres Strait. Why we are investing in the Torres Strait is because we heard the deep desire to make sure people do not have to leave the Torres Strait. So, women and children clearly said through our rapid review, through our consultations on our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander plan, that they don’t want to travel too far from community. So, the Torres Strait was particularly identified because we want to ensure that there is increased capacity so that women and children can stay in the Torres Strait and don’t have to, for example, come all the way to Cairns.

    JOURNALIST: How many people – women and children – are seen at this facility roughly?

    AMANDA RISHWORTH: I will leave it to local organisations to talk about that. What we hear though, is that many, many women and children do seek support and do seek crisis accommodation. But as we heard from the workers here today, it is also about healing and recovery. And that’s a really important part of the National Plan and the work they do, but each location is different. But, of course, women and children escaping family and domestic violence – there is high demand, and we want to make sure there’s a safe place for them to go. Thank you.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Educators welcome affirmative solution with reintroduction of the American Dream and Promise Act

    Source: US National Education Union

    By: Miguel A. Gonzalez

    Published: February 26, 2025

    WASHINGTON—Today, the American Dream and Promise Act was reintroduced in the U.S. House of Representatives. Amidst threats and attacks on people who move seeking a better life and contribute to this country, this legislation offers an affirmative solution instead of demonizing and pushing people for the choices they make. The bill would create a pathway to citizenship for certain DACA recipients, immigrant youth, and some individuals with Temporary Protected Status or Deferred Enforced Departure. 

    The following statement can be attributed to NEA President Becky Pringle: 

    “Whether we’re born here or moved to make America our home, most of us do what it takes to make a better life for our families. We work, sacrifice, and even pack up everything to put food on the table, provide for our loved ones, or send our kids to great schools. But today, anti-immigrant and anti-public education politicians stoke fear against new immigrants—including our students and DACAmented educators—to distract us from the real issues facing America.

    “The good news is that the reintroduction of the American Dream and Promise Act is a timely and necessary step in the right direction towards ensuring a pathway to citizenship for many new immigrants and DACA recipients including an estimated 15,000 educators who are working in our nation’s schools. We encourage the U.S. House of Representatives to follow the lead of Rep. Sylvia Garcia (D-TX), who introduced the bill, and do what is right and just. 

    “Educators won’t be silent as anti-immigrant politicians demonize our students, educators, and communities for political gain. Together with parents and allies, we will support political leaders who put real solutions forward to create a fair immigration process for all families. We will continue to organize, advocate, and mobilize so that all students, regardless of the language they speak, place or birth, or ZIP code, have the opportunities to grow into their full brilliance.”

    Footnotes

    ¹Annual Recurring Revenue, or ARR, for any given period, is defined as the sum of ACV for all subscription contracts in effect as of the end of a specific period. For the purposes of this calculation, we assume that the contract term begins on the date a contract is booked, unless the terms of such contract prevent us from fulfilling our obligations until a later period, and irrespective of the periods in which we would recognize revenue for such contract. Excludes all life-of-device contracts. ACV is defined as the total annualized value of a contract. The total annualized value for a contract is calculated by dividing the total value of the contract by the number of years in the term of such contract. Excludes amounts related to professional services and hardware.

    ²Average Contract Duration represents the dollar-weighted term, calculated on a billings basis, across all subscription contracts, as well as our limited number of life-of-device contracts, using an assumed term of five years for life-of-device licenses, executed in the period.

    ³Weighted average share count used in computing diluted non-GAAP net income per share.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Performance Measures

    To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, this press release includes the following non-GAAP financial and other key performance measures: non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, free cash flow, Annual Recurring Revenue (or ARR), and Average Contract Duration. In computing non-GAAP financial measures, we exclude certain items such as stock-based compensation and the related income tax impact, costs associated with our acquisitions (such as amortization of acquired intangible assets, income tax-related impact, and other acquisition-related costs), restructuring charges, litigation settlement accruals and legal fees related to certain litigation matters, the amortization and conversion of the debt discount and issuance costs related to convertible senior notes, interest expense related to convertible senior notes, inducement expense related to the repurchase of convertible senior notes, and other non-recurring transactions and the related tax impact. Non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, and non-GAAP operating margin are financial measures which we believe provide useful information to investors because they provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses and expenditures such as stock-based compensation expense that may not be indicative of our ongoing core business operating results. Free cash flow is a performance measure that we believe provides useful information to our management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after capital expenditures, and we define free cash flow as net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. ARR is a performance measure that we believe provides useful information to our management and investors as it allows us to better track the topline growth of our subscription business because it takes into account variability in term lengths. We use these non-GAAP financial and key performance measures for financial and operational decision-making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. However, these non-GAAP financial and key performance measures have limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, and free cash flow are not substitutes for gross margin, operating expenses, operating income (loss), operating margin, or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, respectively. There is no GAAP measure that is comparable to ARR or Average Contract Duration, so we have not reconciled the ARR or Average Contract Duration data included in this press release to any GAAP measure. In addition, other companies, including companies in our industry, may calculate non-GAAP financial measures and key performance measures differently or may use other measures to evaluate their performance, all of which could reduce the usefulness of our non-GAAP financial measures and key performance measures as tools for comparison. We urge you to review the reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial measures and key performance measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures included below in the tables captioned “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Profit Measures” and “Reconciliation of GAAP Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities to Non-GAAP Free Cash Flow,” and not to rely on any single financial measure to evaluate our business. This press release also includes the following forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures as part of our third quarter fiscal 2025 outlook and/or our fiscal 2025 outlook: non-GAAP operating margin and free cash flow. We are unable to reconcile these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts, as we are currently unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the type and extent of certain items that would be expected to impact the GAAP financial measures for these periods but would not impact the non-GAAP financial measures.

    Subscription revenue —
    Subscription revenue includes any performance obligation which has a defined term, and is generated from the sales of software entitlement and support subscriptions, subscription software licenses and cloud-based software-as-a-service, or SaaS, offerings.

    • Ratable — We recognize revenue from software entitlement and support subscriptions and SaaS offerings ratably over the contractual service period, the substantial majority of which relate to software entitlement and support subscriptions.
    • Upfront — Revenue from our subscription software licenses is generally recognized upfront upon transfer of control to the customer, which happens when we make the software available to the customer.

    Professional services revenue — We also sell professional services with our products. We recognize revenue related to professional services as they are performed.

    Other non-subscription product revenue — Other non-subscription product revenue includes approximately $7.0 million and $15.2 million of non-portable software revenue for the three and six months ended January 31, 2024, respectively, $0.5 million and $2.3 million of non-portable software revenue for the three and six months ended January 31, 2025, respectively, $1.2 million and $1.8 million of hardware revenue for the three and six months ended January 31, 2024, respectively, and $1.8 million and $2.9 million of hardware revenue for the three and six months ended January 31, 2025, respectively.

    • Non-portable software revenue — Non-portable software revenue includes sales of our platform when delivered on a configured-to-order appliance by us or one of our OEM partners. The software licenses associated with these sales are typically non-portable and can be used over the life of the appliance on which the software is delivered. Revenue from our non-portable software products is generally recognized upon transfer of control to the customer.
    • Hardware revenue — In the infrequent transactions where the hardware appliance is purchased directly from Nutanix, we consider ourselves to be the principal in the transaction and we record revenue and costs of goods sold on a gross basis. We consider the amount allocated to hardware revenue to be equivalent to the cost of the hardware procured. Hardware revenue is generally recognized upon transfer of control to the customer.

    • Gross margin on a non-GAAP basis for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was 62.0%, compared with 62.5% for the same period in fiscal 2024. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025, non-GAAP gross margin was 62.7%, compared with 63.3% for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024.
    • Non-GAAP net profit for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $4.8 million, or earnings per diluted ordinary share of $0.11. This compares with non-GAAP net loss of $9.8 million, or loss per diluted ordinary share of $0.24, for the same period in fiscal 2024. Non-GAAP net loss for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2025 was $6.8 million, or loss per diluted ordinary share of $0.16. This compares with non-GAAP net loss of $33.1 million, or loss per diluted ordinary share of $0.83, for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2024.

    Based on information available as of today, Ambarella is offering the following guidance for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, ending April 30, 2025:

    • Revenue is expected to be between $81.0 million and $87.0 million
    • Gross margin on a non-GAAP basis is expected to be between 61.0% and 62.5%
    • Non-GAAP operating expenses are expected to be between $50.0 million and $53.0 million

    Ambarella reports gross margin, net income (loss) and earnings (losses) per share in accordance with GAAP and, additionally, on a non-GAAP basis. Non-GAAP financial information excludes the impact of stock-based compensation, acquisition-related costs and restructuring expense adjusted for the associated tax impact, which includes the effect of any benefits or shortfalls recognized. Non-GAAP financial information also excludes the impact of the recognition or release of a valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets. A reconciliation of the GAAP to non-GAAP gross margin, net income (loss) and earnings (losses) per share for the periods presented, as well as a description of the items excluded from the non-GAAP calculations, is included in the financial statements portion of this press release.

    Total cash, cash equivalents and marketable debt securities on hand at the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 was $250.3 million, compared with $226.5 million at the end of the prior quarter and $219.9 million at the end of the same quarter a year ago.

    “We finished fiscal 2025 with strong results and are starting the new year with positive momentum. We exited the year with more than 70% of our total revenue from edge AI, representing both a quarterly and annual record. Cumulatively, we have shipped about 30 million edge AI processors, with each SoC integrating our proprietary deep learning AI accelerator,” said Fermi Wang, President & CEO. “In fiscal 2026, we anticipate mid to high teens revenue growth, led by our 5nm products, including the ongoing ramp in the CV5 family and now the CV7 family, which generated production revenue for the first time in Q4. Together with a focus on efficient operations, we intend to continue to drive positive operating leverage.”

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    The company has provided in this release non-GAAP financial information, including non-GAAP gross margin, net income (loss), and earnings (losses) per share, as a supplement to the consolidated financial statements, which are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures internally in analyzing the company’s financial results to assess operational performance and liquidity. The company believes that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing its performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. Further, the company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics that the company uses in making operating decisions and because the company believes that investors and analysts use them to help assess the health of its business and for comparison to other companies. Non-GAAP results are presented for supplemental informational purposes only for understanding the company’s operating results. The non-GAAP information should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP, and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

    With respect to its financial results for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, the company has provided below reconciliations of its non-GAAP financial measures to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. With respect to the company’s expectations for the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, a reconciliation of non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP operating expenses guidance to the closest corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable efforts on a forward-looking basis due to the high variability and low visibility with respect to the charges excluded from these non-GAAP measures. We expect the variability of the above charges to have a significant, and potentially unpredictable, impact on our future GAAP financial results.

Barrett, CEO of Magnite. “We look forward to a solid growth year in 2025, despite a mixed ad spend environment and political comps. We continue to balance top-line growth and profitability to drive free cash flow, which is reflected in our outlook for 2025. Key areas of investment will be live sports, ClearLine, agency marketplaces, curation, AI and overall platform efficiency.”

    Forward-Looking Statements:
    This press release and management’s prepared remarks during the conference call referred to above include, and management’s answers to questions during the conference call may include, forward-looking statements, including statements based upon or relating to our expectations, assumptions, estimates, and projections. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “may,” “might,” “will,” “objective,” “intend,” “should,” “could,” “can,” “would,” “expect,” “believe,” “design,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” “plan” or the negative of these terms, and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements may include, but are not limited to, statements concerning the Company’s guidance or expectations with respect to future financial performance; acquisitions by the Company, or the anticipated benefits thereof; macroeconomic conditions or concerns related thereto; the growth of ad-supported programmatic connected television; our ability to use and collect data to provide our offerings; the scope and duration of client relationships; the fees we may charge in the future; key strategic objectives; anticipated benefits of new offerings; business mix; sales growth; benefits from supply path optimization; our ability to adapt to advancements in artificial intelligence; the development of identity solutions; client utilization of our offerings; the impact of requests for discounts, rebates or other fee concessions; our competitive differentiation; our market share and leadership position in the industry; market conditions, trends, and opportunities; certain statements regarding future operational performance measures; and other statements that are not historical facts. These statements are not guarantees of future performance; they reflect our current views with respect to future events and are based on assumptions and estimates and subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from expectations or results projected or implied by forward-looking statements.

    We discuss many of these risks and additional factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated by our forward-looking statements under the headings “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and elsewhere in this press release and in other filings we have made and will make from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and subsequent filings. These forward-looking statements represent our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of the report in which they are included. Unless required by federal securities laws, we assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons actual results could differ materially from those anticipated, to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the statements are made. Without limiting the foregoing, any guidance we may provide will generally be given only in connection with quarterly and annual earnings announcements, without interim updates, and we may appear at industry conferences or make other public statements without disclosing material nonpublic information in our possession. Given these uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Investors should read this press release and the documents that we reference in this press release and have filed or will file with the SEC completely and with the understanding that our actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Operational Measures:

    In addition to our GAAP results, we review certain non-GAAP financial measures to help us evaluate our business on a consistent basis, measure our performance, identify trends affecting our business, establish budgets, measure the effectiveness of investments in our technology and development and sales and marketing, and assess our operational efficiencies. These non-GAAP financial measures include Contribution ex-TAC, Adjusted EBITDA, Non-GAAP Income (Loss), and Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) per share, each of which is discussed below.

    These non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be considered in isolation from, as substitutes for, or as superior to, the corresponding financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments, and review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most comparable GAAP measures, and the reasons we consider them appropriate. It is important to note that the particular items we exclude from, or include in, our non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the items excluded from, or included in, similar non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. See “Reconciliation of Revenue to Gross Profit to Contribution ex-TAC,” “Reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA,” “Reconciliation of net income (loss) to non-GAAP income (loss),” and “Reconciliation of GAAP earnings (loss) per share to non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share” included as part of this press release.

    We do not provide a reconciliation of our non-GAAP financial expectations for Contribution ex-TAC and Adjusted EBITDA, or a forecast of the most comparable GAAP measures, because the amount and timing of many future charges that impact these measures (such as amortization of future acquired intangible assets, acquisition-related charges, foreign exchange (gain) loss, net, stock-based compensation, impairment charges, provision or benefit for income taxes, and our future revenue mix), which could be material, are variable, uncertain, or out of our control and therefore cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable effort, if at all. In addition, we believe such reconciliations or forecasts could imply a degree of precision that might be confusing or misleading to investors.

    Contribution ex-TAC:

    Contribution ex-TAC is calculated as gross profit plus cost of revenue, excluding traffic acquisition cost (“TAC”). Traffic acquisition cost, a component of cost of revenue, represents what we must pay sellers for the sale of advertising inventory through our platform for revenue reported on a gross basis. Contribution ex-TAC is a non-GAAP financial measure that is most comparable to gross profit. We believe Contribution ex-TAC is a useful measure in facilitating a consistent comparison against our core business without considering the impact of traffic acquisition costs related to revenue reported on a gross basis.

    Adjusted EBITDA:

    We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, amortization of acquired intangible assets, impairment charges, interest income or expense, and other cash and non-cash based income or expenses that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance, including, but not limited to foreign exchange gains and losses, acquisition and related items, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, other debt refinancing expenses, non-operational real estate and other expenses (income), net, and provision (benefit) for income taxes. We also track future expenses on an Adjusted EBITDA basis, and describe them as Adjusted EBITDA operating expenses, which includes total operating expenses. Total operating expenses include cost of revenue. Adjusted EBITDA operating expenses is calculated as Contribution ex-TAC less Adjusted EBITDA. We adjust Adjusted EBITDA operating expenses for the same expense items excluded in Adjusted EBITDA. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors in evaluating our performance for the following reasons:

    • Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors and securities analysts to measure a company’s performance without regard to items such as those we exclude in calculating this measure, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their financing, capital structures, and the method by which assets were acquired.
    • Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of performance and the effectiveness of our business strategies, and in communications with our board of directors concerning our performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also used as a metric for determining payment of cash incentive compensation.
    • Adjusted EBITDA provides a measure of consistency and comparability with our past performance that many investors find useful, facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations, and also facilitates comparisons with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results.

    Although Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used by investors and securities analysts in their evaluations of companies, Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations as reported under GAAP. These limitations include:

    • Stock-based compensation is a non-cash charge and will remain an element of our long-term incentive compensation package, although we exclude it as an expense when evaluating our ongoing operating performance for a particular period.
    • Depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, and the assets being depreciated or amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, but Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for these replacements.
    • Impairment charges are non-cash charges related to goodwill, intangible assets and/or long-lived assets.
    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect certain cash and non-cash charges related to acquisition and related items, such as amortization of acquired intangible assets, merger, acquisition, or restructuring related severance costs, and changes in the fair value of contingent consideration.
    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash and non-cash charges and changes in, or cash requirements for, acquisition and related items, such as certain transaction expenses.
    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash and non-cash charges related to certain financing transactions such as gains or losses on extinguishment of debt or other debt refinancing expenses.
    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect certain non-operational real estate and other (income) and expense, net, which consists of transactions or expenses that are typically by nature non-operating, one-time items, or unrelated to our core operations.
    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in our working capital needs, capital expenditures, or contractual commitments.
    • Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect cash requirements for income taxes and the cash impact of other income or expense.
    • Other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

    Our Adjusted EBITDA is influenced by fluctuations in our revenue, cost of revenue, and the timing and amounts of the cost of our operations. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), income (loss) from operations, or any other measure of financial performance calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

    Non-GAAP Income (Loss) and Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) per Share:
    We define non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share as non-GAAP income (loss) divided by non-GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding. Non-GAAP income (loss) is equal to net income (loss) excluding stock-based compensation, cash and non-cash based merger, acquisition, and restructuring costs, which consist primarily of professional service fees associated with merger and acquisition activities, cash-based employee termination costs, and other restructuring activities, including facility closures, relocation costs, contract termination costs, and impairment costs of abandoned technology associated with restructuring activities, amortization of acquired intangible assets, gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, non-operational real estate and other expenses or income, foreign currency gains and losses, interest expense associated with Convertible Senior Notes, other debt refinance expenses, and the tax impact of these items. In periods in which we have non-GAAP income, non-GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding used to calculate non-GAAP earnings per share includes the impact of potentially dilutive shares. Potentially dilutive shares consist of stock options, restricted stock units, performance stock units, and potential shares issued under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, each computed using the treasury stock method, and the impact of shares that would be issuable assuming conversion of all of the Convertible Senior Notes, calculated under the if-converted method. We believe non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share is useful to investors in evaluating our ongoing operational performance and our trends on a per share basis, and also facilitates comparison of our financial results on a per share basis with other companies, many of which present a similar non-GAAP measure. However, a potential limitation of our use of non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share is that other companies may define non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share differently, which may make comparison difficult. This measure may also exclude expenses that may have a material impact on our reported financial results. Non-GAAP earnings (loss) per share is a performance measure and should not be used as a measure of liquidity. Because of these limitations, we also consider the comparable GAAP measure of net income (loss).

  • MIL-OSI USA: Padilla Questions Trump’s Unfit Department of Justice Nominees

    US Senate News:

    Source: United States Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif.)

    WATCH: Padilla questions nominees Harmeet Dhillon, John Sauer, and Aaron Reitz on their alarming track recordsWASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, U.S. Senator Alex Padilla (D-Calif.), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, questioned three of President Trump’s Department of Justice (DOJ) nominees. The nominees before the Senate were John Sauer, to be Solicitor General of the United States, Harmeet Dhillon, to be Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, and Aaron Reitz, to be Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Policy.
    Padilla opened his questions with concerns over Republican DOJ nominees’ apparent willingness to disregard the rule of law and ignore court orders they disagree with.  
    “There’s been a number of Department of Justice nominees that have come before us, most, if not all, echoing over and over again, the respect for the Constitution, the commitment for the Constitution, a commitment to the rule of law, yet, when pressed about whether or not they would be loyal to the Constitution versus potential directives or decisions contrary to existing law in the Constitution, they don’t give strong answers, at least none that give us the comfort level that we, the American people, need and deserve.”
    Padilla also called out Harmeet Dhillon, a San Francisco-based lawyer nominated to lead the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, for her alarming track record of restricting the right to vote, spreading disinformation about the 2020 election, and perpetuating discriminatory laws. He also criticized Dhillon for her failed 2019 lawsuit against California’s Department of Motor Vehicles, alleging issues with the state’s motor voter program. An audit found no widespread voter fraud, and Dhillon’s lawsuit was unsuccessful, along with all of her other voting-related lawsuits brought against California while Senator Padilla was Secretary of State.
    “As a fellow Californian, I’ve seen your work closely. You’ve opposed key voting rights protections over the years, including the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. You fought against the use of [the] Voting Rights Act to challenge discriminatory laws. You’ve also spread disinformation about the 2020 election, and you’ve defended restrictive voting laws in multiple states. … How can you convince us that, based on this track record, that you would equally enforce, fairly enforce voting rights through the Department of Justice?”
    Padilla also pressed Solicitor General nominee John Sauer, Missouri’s former Solicitor General, on President Trump’s unlawful Executive Order attempting to end birthright citizenship for certain children born in the United States in direct violation of the text of the Constitution and binding Supreme Court precedent. If confirmed, Sauer would be tasked with representing the United States before the Supreme Court, including for a potential case on birthright citizenship. Sauer refused to answer the Senator’s question.
    “As an attorney, though, admitted to any state bar in the country, you’re tasked with obeying and defending the Constitution of the United States. Now, the President’s already defied the Constitution and Supreme Court precedent in issuing an Executive Order in regards to birthright citizenship. We talked about this in my office, I told you I was going to ask you in this hearing, can you please articulate for the committee the current binding Supreme Court precedent with respect to birthright citizenship and the 14th Amendment?”
    Additionally, Padilla criticized Aaron Reitz — who is nominated to lead the DOJ Office of Legal Policy — for his since-deleted tweets attacking landmark LGBTQ+ civil rights decisions in Bostock v. Clayton County and Obergefell v. Hodges, denouncing constitutional birthright citizenship, spreading false claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election, and even seemingly praising McCarthyism. Reitz admitted that each of these hateful tweets were his.
    Video of Padilla’s remarks is available here.

  • MIL-OSI USA: Barrasso: Democrats Continue Their War on American Energy

    US Senate News:

    Source: United States Senator for Wyoming John Barrasso

    “The National Energy Emergency is part of President Trump’s swift actions to unleash American energy. It is part of a broader vision of affordable, reliable, American energy. Democrats oppose that.”
    WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Senate Majority Whip, today spoke on the Senate Floor about how Democrats are continuing their war on affordable, reliable, American energy production.
    Click here to watch Senator Barrasso’s remarks.
    Sen. Barrasso’s remarks as prepared:
    “The emergency siren is ringing loudly on American energy. After four years of reckless regulations and restrictions, energy prices have jumped 31 percent.
    “To most Americans, this is the definition of an energy emergency. To Senate Democrats, it is an inconvenient truth.
    “Today, Democrats are trying to reverse President Trump’s National Energy Emergency. Democrats are trying to block common sense measures to address painfully high prices.
    “The National Energy Emergency is part of President Trump’s swift actions to unleash American energy. It is part of a broader vision of affordable, reliable, American energy. Democrats oppose that. Democrats learned nothing from four years of failure.
    “Democrats remain the party of high energy prices. Democrats remain the party of painful and punishing regulation. And Democrats remain the party of never-ending dependence on foreign dictators for energy. Democrats want to continue their war on American energy.
    “Republicans know that the best way to lower prices is to support more American energy production. We have the energy. We have the workers. And we produce energy responsibly.
    “Last week, Senate Republicans passed a budget to secure the border, unleash American energy, and rebuild our military. We are taking further action to address high energy prices and cut red tape. The Senate is considering two important resolutions this week under the Congressional Review Act.
    “The first is from Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana. His resolution rolls back a burdensome Biden midnight regulation on energy production in the Gulf of America. The Senate passed it yesterday.
    “The second is from Senator John Hoeven of North Dakota. His resolution cuts about $7 billion on new natural gas taxes on energy producers. This tax on energy American families use to heat their homes was mandated by Democrats’ reckless tax and spend bill. The Democrat tax penalizes oil and gas production in America and punishes American families.
    “The Golden Age of American energy is the foundation of the Golden Age of America. It is linked directly to the prices we pay, the technology we use, and the world we live in.
    “Republicans will not allow the sticky thorns of red tape to entangle American energy. Republicans are reversing punishing, political regulations. We are taking the handcuffs off of American energy production. We are paving the way for affordable, reliable American energy production.
    “Unleashing American energy means lower prices. It means more innovation. It means more safety and stability. America is an energy superpower. We need to act like it.”
