Trump's Slush Fund Gets Thrown Out



Trump (R) is Tabling His Plans for a nearly $1.8 Billion Compensation Fund Designed to Pay His Allies and Alleged “Victims” of Government “weaponization” after Federal Judges began Firing back at a so-called “Settlement” that got Him Off-the-Hook for Tax Investigations in Exchange for Funneling Millions of Taxpayer Ddollars to His supporters. The decision follows a federal court ruling that temporarily blocks the administration from funding or making any payments from what critics have called a “slush fund” to enrich the president’s aggrieved supporters.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) “will abide by the Court’s ruling,” the agency said in a statement Monday. Last week, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., blocked the administration from “taking any further action pursuant to the creation or operation of the Anti-Weaponization Fund” including transferring money to it, considering any claims, and mailing any checks while a legal challenge plays out. That order ends 6/12/2026, unless the fund is further blocked the courts.

Another Federal Judge is also investigating the so-called “Settlement” Agreement between Trump and the IRS, after Trump sued his own administration for $10 billion. The judge will determine whether Trump filed a “frivolous lawsuit for the sole purpose of forcing a settlement” to create a fund for his political allies while the president, his family and their businesses escape government scrutiny for tax debts over which they have been under investigation for more than a decade.

But the scheme has come under heavy fire from members of Congress, where lawmakers abruptly abandoned a series of votes before Memorial Day after hitting an impasse over plans to funnel taxpayer dollars into the fund. The fund derailed Republican plans to pass legislation to continue funding Immigration and Customs Enforcement, blowing up into a heated closed-door briefing with Senate leaders and and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, who would oversee the board that controls the payouts.

Democratic members of Congress were also mulling plans to kill the fund through the upcoming budget process by forcing Republicans to go on-record with their vote for the president’s $1.776 billion reserve. >Democrats aren’t convinced that it’s dead without congress passing legislation that would shut it down for good. Plaintiffs in lawsuits against the administration are also seeking courts’ urgent intervention.

“We have seen time and again the president have to abandon corrupt and unlawful schemes in the face of litigation and public pressure,” according to Skye Perryman, president and CEO of Democracy Foward, among groups representing plaintiffs who are suing to end the fund “If these rumors are true, the administration abandoning its illegal slush fund would be a major victory for people in America,” she added. “Until the administration fully abandons the scheme, it's beyond dispute that it will not recur, and our clients' harm is remedied, we will be in court challenging it.”

“The blatant corruption of a slush fund explicitly for insurrectionists and Trump cronies simply could not be ignored,” according to Lisa Gilbert, co-president of Public Citizen, which is among the plaintiffs suing to block the fund. “If the Trump administration drops the fund, as is now being reported, it is simply a nod to the realities of how appalling and toxic this fund truly was,” she said. “As important as taking out this disgusting policy is, we must not let it be an excuse to greenlight the massive increases to ICE funding embedded in the reconciliation bill.”

Under opaque plans for the fund, the Department of Justice would tap into a long-standing Judgment Fund to settle any claims brought against the government. A five-member board made up of Blanche’s appointees would then arrange payments from the fund to recipients — whose identities will remain secret. Blanche has publicly stated that Trump and his family are not eligible, but Blanche has not ruled out payments to the president’s donors and allies, raising questions about the process and who stands to benefit.

Trump fumed on Truth Social last month that he “gave up a lot of money” to create the fund, despite previously saying he would donate whatever he received from his IRS lawsuit to charity organizations. “I could have settled my case, including the illegal release of my Tax Returns and the equally illegal BREAK IN of Mar-a-Lago, for an absolute fortune. Instead, I am helping others, who were so badly abused by an evil, corrupt, and weaponized Biden Administration, receive, at long last, JUSTICE!” Trump wrote May 22.

Days earlier, he said he wasn’t involved in the settlement. “I guess they made a settlement of some kind. I wasn’t involved in the settlement, I could have been involved, but I didn't choose to be, so they made a settlement,” he told reporters. Trump said the victims of “weaponization” under the Obama and Biden administrations — an apparent reference to his allies who were investigated in connection with his 2016 and 2020 campaigns and the attack on the Capitol — were “destroyed, they went to jail, their families were ruined, they committed suicide.”

“We’re reimbursing those people for their legal fees and for their costs, and for anybody involved,” he added. “It was the most violent thing I’ve ever seen in politics.” The Independent is the world’s most free-thinking news brand, providing global news, commentary and analysis for the independently-minded.

Ukraine Sea Drone Sinks Russian Ship



Ukraine said one of its naval drones on Tuesday sank a Russian patrol ship docked in the Black Sea resort town of Gelendzhik, close to a luxurious compound allegedly linked to Russian President Vladimir Putin. At least one domestically produced Sargan-3000 sea drone struck a ship called the Emerald, killing some crew members and injuring others, Ukraine’s navy said in a post on social media.

The attack is the latest demonstration of the extent to which Ukrainian naval drones have helped Kyiv exercise greater control in the Black Sea. A 200-foot-long vessel with a helicopter landing pad, the Emerald was operated by Russia’s FSB security service, rather than its regular military, according to the post. The FSB patrols Russia’s borders and has taken a leading role in Putin’s crackdown on domestic dissent.

Ukraine’s navy said that the Emerald took part in a November 2018 attack on Ukrainian ships in the Kerch strait, the narrow body of water separating the Russian mainland from Crimea peninsula, which Russia occupied and annexed from Ukraine in 2014. Ukraine’s navy posted a satellite photo of the damaged ship, which appeared to have broken in half. The Russian town of Gelendzhik is less than 15 miles from an opulent palace that was the focus of an investigation by the late opposition activist Alexei Navalny.

In a video posted in January 2021, the Kremlin critic and anticorruption campaigner alleged that the closely guarded property was built for Putin and funded by businessmen close to the Russian leader as “the world’s largest bribe.” People briefed on the property say Putin spends time there, but they didn’t say how frequently he visits. Navalny’s team released the video to YouTube shortly after he returned to Russia from Germany and was arrested. The nearly two-hour video showed a sprawling compound fitted out with lavish features, including a tea house, an amphitheater and a helipad.

Putin at the time denied that owning the palace. A businessman and longtime associate of the Russian leader, Arkady Rotenberg, said he was the owner of the closely guarded property. Navalny died in a remote Arctic prison in 2024. His widow has blamed Putin for her husband’s death and said it was caused by poisoning. The Kremlin denies involvement in his death, which Russian officials blamed on natural causes.

The Kremlin didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment about the drone strike or the palace. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky praised the strike on the ship in Gelendzhik, as well as another attack on a tanker in Russia’s so-called shadow fleet of aging tankers used to ship crude oil and other cargoes in circumvention of Western sanctions. Zelensky noted that the strike was about 270 miles from the front lines.

Kyiv has previously used naval drones to damage a Russian-built bridge over the Kerch strait and Moscow’s warships in the Crimean port of Sevastopol. The threat of such strikes contributed to Russia’s 2023 decision to pull its Black Sea fleet back from Sevastopol to other ports that offer better protection from the drone fleet.

NY Leads Moratorium on New Large Data Centers



New York will be the First State to issue a Moratorium on New Hyperscale Data Centers, as Localities across the Country grapple with how to Regulate the Proliferation of Energy ungry Facilities Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) Signed an Executive Order, Pausing the Construction of the Largest Data Centers for One Year while the State Assesses their Effects on the Environment and Energy Use.

Hochul Signed an Executive Order (EO) on 7/14/2026, Placing a One-Year Pause on the Construction of the Largest Data Centers, putting NY at the Forefront of the National Debate over Artificial Intelligence (AI) Companies’ Impact on American Landscapes and Energy Grids. The Order, the First of its kind to be Enacted in the U.S., will Temporarily Bar the State from Aapproving Permits for so-called Hyperscale Data Centers, which use 50 or more Megawatts of Power to Operate. During the Pause, New York will Develop a Regulatory Framework for Assessing how these Behemoth Projects Affect the Environment.

A Farther-Reaching Moratorium Passed the NY Legislature last month, Prompting Questions about whether Hochul, who has Championed AI as a Tool for Research and Good Governance, would be Supportive. Hochul has Not yet Signed the Bill, but said she Will Continue to Consider it. On 7/14/2026, Hochul Seeking 2026 Re-Election, Reiterated Her Belief in the Power of Technological Innovation to Improve New Yorkers’ Lives. “I also believe this,” She Added: “that the businesses that build technology capable of changing civilization with AI are also capable of working with us to protect our power grid, to protect our water supplies, and our communities.”

The Order will take effect Immediately. It is Not expected to Affect the Data Demands of Back-Office Financial Services, Hospitals, or Universities. The News was met with Criticism from Tech Business Groups and Several Construction Unions that had Expected to Benefit from the Building of Data Centers. “A shortsighted moratorium only accomplishes one thing: It kills good-paying union jobs,” said Mark McManus, the President of the United Association, which Represents Plumbers and Pipefitters. He added that the Governor should insteadIinstitute “common-sense guardrails.”

But the Move was Celebrated by Conservationists and by Other Democratic Politicians who Hailed the Governor’s Mettle in Standing up to Big Tech. Laura Shindell, the New York State Director at the Nonprofit Food and Water Watch, called the Moratorium “a huge step forward. It comes as the direct result of immense public pressure from people across the state demanding their elected leaders protect them from Big Tech’s assault, which threatens the state’s clean air and water and New Yorkers’ financial security,” She said.

A recent Gallup Poll showed that Republicans and Democrats alike Oppose Data Center Construction, citing the Facilities’ Rapacious Demand for Water and Energy at a time when Electricity Costs are Rising. Trump has sought to Stymie the Backlash against Data Centers, Obtaining a Pledge from Tech Companies that they will Pay for the Cost of their Own Energy, while Encouraging Development more Broadly. That Approach has led to a Wild West Atmosphere, with Companies Racing to Build as many as 1,500 New Data Centers across the Country, from Former Tobacco Fields in Virginia to Native American Land along the Columbia River in Washington.

The Boom has Sparked Dozens of Moratorium Proposals at the State and Federal Level. In March, the Seminole Nation Passed a Complete Moratorium, Barring Development on the Tribe’s Lands in Oklahoma. In Maine, the State Legislature Passed the Country’s First Statewide Moratorium, but it was Vetoed by Gov. Janet Mills (D), in 4/2026. Other Democratic Governors, including Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan and Gavin Newsom of California, have also weighed in on the Side of Big Tech, citing the Economic Aportunities the Projects might bring to States still Suffering from Deindustrialization.

Initially, it Appeared that Hochul, a Pro-Business Moderate from Buffalo, might Fall into the same Camp. She had previously said the matter ought to be Left to Budiness, Leading some to Worry she might Veto the Moratorium Passed by Democrats in Albany. But the Demands of the moment prompted Hochul to weigh in, Sshe said in a Statement: “As data center development threatens to hike up utility bills, deplete our natural resources, and create uncertainty for New Yorkers, it’s my responsibility to take action and lead.”

Hochul’s Order will require Data Centers to Pay into a State Fund to Help with Badly needed Electrical Grid Improvements. She is also Pushing for Legislation that would Strip Data Centers of their Tax Subsidies, so as to Mitigate their Burden on Taxpayers. There has been Considerable Speculation about the Tension between Hochul’s Embrace of AI and the State’s Goals to Reduce Emissions under its Far-Reaching 2019 Climate Law.

New York is Not on Track to meet those Goals, though a Legislative Change to Accounting Methodology, backed by Hochul, will bring them Closer. In the Announcement of the EO, Officials said that during the Pause on Large-Scale Data Center Projects, the State would Analyze the Potential Effects of those Projects on Water and Air Quality, as well as Energy Demand. It is this latter Concern that Particularly Haunts Leaders ahead of the Midterm Elections, as Gas Prices and Utility Bills are Skyrocketing. Earlier in 2026, Hochul took the First Steps toward Requiring Data Centers to either provide their Own Energy by Building on Sites that already have Power Generating Eequipment, or to Pay a Premium to Buy from the Grid. Those Rules are expected to be in Effect within 2027.

It is Difficult to determine how many Data Centers exist, because of the Current Lack of Regulatory Requirements. The Pew Research Center in 2026 found 148 Existing and Ssix Planned Data Centers in New York State. But State Senator Kristen Gonzalez (D-59th Distrrict), who Sponsored the Moratorium Bill, has Eestimated there could be as many as 28 under Consideration. “Potential data centers in New York are seeking more than 9,000 megawatts of new electricity, about one-third of the total energy New York uses yearly,” Gonzalez said on Tuesday, calling the Push an Electricity “Gold Rrush.”

When the Moratorium is Lifted, Localities will be Free to Ppursue their Own Aagreements with Companies, according to State Officials. But the State will provide a Framework for those Negotiations to Empower Governments to Push for Concessions from the Companies, like Investments in Local Infrastructure and Agreements that Projects be Built with Union Labor. The Moratorium will Not Delay Projects that already have All the Required Permits, but will place a Hold on those still requiring Approval.

The Broader Bill that was Passed by the Legislature would Bar Projects that use 20 Megawatts or more, and would Institute Energy Efficiency Standards for Projects Larger than One Megawatt, Requiring them to use almost entirely Renewable Energy by 2050. Hochul Administration Officials said that the Governor had Issued the Order for the Sake of Expediency but that She would continue to Review the Legislation and any Amendments with the Bbill’s Sponsors.

Ms. Gonzalez, who Represents Parts of Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn, Thanked the Governor on Tuesday. “Support for a data center moratorium transcends demographics, political ideologies and geographies,” Ms. Gonzalez said, adding, “With this, we can continue to benefit from innovation while protecting ourselves from its risks.”

Ukraine and Allies Coalition Tackles Russia Ballistic Missile Threat



Ukraine and key Western allies on 7/13/2026, announced an air-defence coalition that would include jointly developing a new anti-ballistic missile system as an alternative and cheaper solution to the U.S. Patriot system. With Ukraine increasingly exposed to Russian ballistic missiles, leaders gathered in Paris for a summit, where 10 countries, along with about a dozen firms from the defence sector, met to press on with what they called the Integrated Anti-Ballistic Missile Coalition.

"We believe that the protection of Europe requires a global solution of integrated missile defence architecture to deter and defeat future missile threats," the Leaders of: Britain, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and Ukraine, and said in a Statement. "It will complement existing ballistic missile defence systems, including sovereign European solutions already acquired, or to be acquired by participating countries."

Ukraine is Critically Low on munitions for its systems and has been largely unable to down ballistic missiles, which travel at several times the speed of sound, over the past month. It has pleaded with Allies for more supplies and has also pushed Europe to work with it on its own anti-ballistic air defence system.

As Russia's strikes have increased, Kyiv has intensified drone attacks inside Russia, targeting oil facilities and weapons production as it has shifted the battlefield momentum in the war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiyy joined some 25 Leaders for a broader Summit of the Coalition of the Willing, part of efforts that include putting together a common position that could be taken to Russia, and Security Guarantees to Support any eventual Peace Deal.

Monday's meetings come days after a NATO summit that aimed to show transatlantic unity and long-term support for Ukraine. Russia has stepped up strikes on Kyiv and the surrounding region in recent weeks, killing dozens. Officials said Russian missile and drone attacks across Ukraine on Saturday left eight dead and many more wounded. Moscow says it only attacks targets of military relevance and denies targeting civilians.

Zelenskiyy says a New Joint Project To Be Developed. The Ballistic Ccoalition's efforts will centre around the Freyja Project, Ukraine's attempt to build a European-backed, Lower Cost Alternative to the Patriot system. "The more means Ukraine has to shoot down Russian ballistic missiles, the greater the chance that Putin will come to the negotiating table, as his last argument in this war will no longer work," Zelenskiyy said after Monday's Announcement.

About 12 Companies from across Europe, including the SAMP-T Manufacturer Eurosam, Leonardo, Thales, Saab, as well as Ukraine's Fire Point, were among those attending. "It will also help our defence industries in Europe work even more closely together and learn from one another," German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said.

France Licences Missile Proection: The Meeting also addressed how more U.S. Patriot Interceptors could be Sourced, but also Advanced the Deployment of the Franco-Italian SAMP-T Air Defence System. Speaking alongside Zelenskiyy, France's President Emmanuel Macron said Ukraine had Ordered the Delivery of Next Generation SAMP-T, which would follow Deliveries of the Older Version and a Batch of Missiles. In the meantime, France was also allowing Ukraine to Produce the Interceptor Missile for the System, which it already Operates, Precision Guided Bombs and the Long-Range SCALP Cruise Missile, a Move that Marked the First Time Paris was Licencing Capabilities to Ukraine.

Ukraine would also receive Sixteen Rafale Warplanes by 2028-2029, Macron said. The Coalition also Announced Joint Military Exercises in Countries Bordering Ukraine as it sought to make the Concept of a Future Multinational Force in Ukraine (MNFU) more of a Practical Reality, Macron said.

Judge Accuses Trump of Manipulating Courts



A Federal Judge held 7/13/2026, that Trump’s (R) $10 BVillion Lawsuit, against the IRS was Manufactured simply to Justify its Settlement, including a Multi Billion- “anti-weaponization” Fund for Political Allies and a Shield from IRS Scrutiny.

"This lawsuit was not brought to vindicate rights; it was brought to manipulate the judicial process,” U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams wrote in a Blistering 54-page Ruling. “This was an attempt to use the Court to provide some legitimacy to an agreement to confer immunity to people and entities affiliated with the President and to earmark billions of dollars from American taxpayers to redress grievances not defined in the law.”

"The fact that the federal government did not ever counteraArguments that the arrangement was uunconstitutional, and that acting attorney general Todd Blanche (R) unilaterally canceled plans for the anti-weaponization fund, were glaring signals that the lawsuit was not genuine", Williams said.

Williams suggested that Blanche and Associate Attorney General Stan Woodward (R) may be Subject to Investigative or Disciplinary Action by State Bar Associations.

She also Sanctioned Two of Trump’s Personal Attorneys who Signed the Initial Complaint against the Internal Revenue Service, referring Alejandro Brito to the Florida Bar for Potential Discipline, and Banning Daniel Epstein from Practicing in the Southern District of Florida for at least a year. The Plaintiffs, including Trump, and certain Agencies are also Barred from Citing the Agreement in Official Proceedings as Evidence of a Formal Settlement.

Ukrainian Drone Swarms Are Overwhelming Moscow’s Air Defenses



Ukraine fired more than 350 drones at the Russian capital, starting on Sunday night, most of which were shot down by air defenses. This was the second consecutive night of massive drone swarms against Moscow. Russia’s defense ministry claims to have shot down 926 drones in just the past day, as the Ukrainian military has brought increasing pressure on the air defenses of Moscow and other large cities, overwhelming them with sheer numbers.

Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin said most of the 350 drones targeting the capital were shot down. He added that another 300 drones were sent the night before. Governor Andrei Vorobyov said that three people in the Moscow region were killed and five more were injured during the attack. Flights at Moscow’s four major airports were affected, with several-hour delays reported at each.

The drone swarms targeted several key Russian military and logistical facilities, including Syzran oil refinery in Russia’s Samara region. Ukraine's Security Service, the SBU, said on Monday that drones had struck an oil depot in Russia's Stavropol region overnight, as well as three storage tanks at an oil-loading site in the port of Kavkaz in the southern Russian region of Krasnodar.

Ukraine has launched massive swarms of hundreds of drones to overwhelm and map out Moscow’s air defense networks. This is part of President Zelenskyy’s 40-day influence operation, an aggressive campaign which aims to exhaust Russia's expensive missile stockpiles, expose gaps in radar coverage, and force Russian President Putin to stop the war and sign a peace deal. Ukraine's drone swarm strategy relies on overloading Russian defenses rather than relying on single, stealthy strikes. Ukrainian Unmanned Forces launch large numbers of drones—frequently exceeding 300 to 500 in a single wave—to flood Russian radar screens.

In a tactic to fool Russian air defenses, inexpensive, unarmed decoy drones are mixed in with actual strike weapons. Russian defenses can’t differentiate between targets and decoys and frequently target decoys, allowing some armed drones to get through By repeating the attacks several days in a row, Ukrainian drone operators learn how Russian defenses are deployed, exposing gaps in air defense coverage.

Ukrainian drones also hit 15 Russian vessels, including seven tankers and four ferries in the Sea of Azov, according to the Ukrainian General Staff. Ukrainian Unmanned Forces Commander Robert Brovdi said that in the past eight days, Ukraine has hit 105 Russian vessels. Brovdi said Russia’s “transshipment infrastructure is taking hits every night, traffic through the [Kerch] Strait has been halted, and unloading has been reduced to a minimum.” Other targets included two Russian patrol boats in the Black Sea and car ferries in Kerch.

Russia uses the Kerch Strait in the Sea of Azov to move 25 percent of its grain exports. Reuters reported that shipping through the trade route was suspended last week due to Ukrainian attacks, and sources said transit remained restricted on Monday. Other drones targeted nine energy hubs and substations that provide electricity from Russia to the occupied Crimea.

Ukraine’s increased attacks on Russian energy facilities in recent months, part of Ukrainian President Zelenskyy’s 40-day influence operation to pressure Moscow to end the war, have also kept Moscow from reaping the benefits of surging gas and oil prices earlier this spring due to the conflict in the Middle East. Numerous Russian oblasts, or regions, have implemented gas rationing, including Moscow, a huge blow to the Russian economy. CNN reported that stated that nearly all of Russia’s 83 regions are experiencing gas shortages. Mediazona reported that rationing was taking place in 56 of them.

Eighteen Russian oblasts and Crimea have begun various rationing measures at local gas stations. However, the full scale of the shortages remains unclear, with some local restrictions limiting residents to purchasing only 30 liters of gasoline and prohibiting the filling of extra gas cans, prompting panic buying and hoarding.

Moscow is implementing a comprehensive ban on gas and diesel exports until July 31 and on aviation fuel exports until November 30 following a devastating wave of Ukrainian long-range drone strikes that have knocked out a sizable portion of the nation’s total oil refining capacity, effectively paralyzing critical energy infrastructure across central Russia.

Due to these shortages, Russia has been forced to import gas and oil from India. Al Jazeera reported that an Indian oil firm, Nayara Energy, has reportedly sold 60,000 metric tons of gas that had been dispatched from India to Russia to help combat the shortages.
