Germany’s intelligence agency has officially labeled the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party as “extremist,” allowing deep surveillance and communications interception. The AfD, which placed second in Germany’s recent elections, condemned the move as a politically motivated attack on democracy. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Elon Musk both blasted the decision, calling it authoritarian. The BfV defends its ruling, citing the party’s anti-migrant rhetoric. This explosive development deepens the rift over free speech, nationalism, and immigration in Europe—and sends shockwaves across transatlantic politics.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated Ukraine cannot force Russia to retreat to its 2014 borders, signaling a potential shift in Washington's support. He added that Ukraine may accept territorial losses de facto as part of a future peace deal. With demands between Kiev and Moscow still far apart, Rubio warned the U.S. may soon reconsider its role as peace broker. He stressed that China and Iran now pose more pressing threats. Moscow maintains any settlement must include Ukrainian neutrality and recognition of its newly integrated regions.

In a dramatic shift that could signal Donald Trump’s toughest stance yet against Vladimir Putin, the United States has approved a $310 million arms package for Ukraine, including advanced F-16 munitions. The Pentagon confirmed the deal aims to boost Kyiv’s air combat capabilities as it faces relentless Russian aggression. The move is seen as a bold geopolitical message, with Trump under pressure to prove he’s not soft on Russia.

The US has drafted a new sanctions package against Russia targeting major energy and banking sectors. However, its enforcement hinges on President Donald Trump’s approval as Washington balances pressure with peace prospects. Amid ceasefire talks between Moscow and Kiev, Trump’s administration is weighing a deal recognizing Crimea and freezing the war front. Internal debate continues as senators demand harsher penalties, while others warn sanctions could derail diplomacy. The final decision rests with Trump, whose stance could reshape the conflict's trajectory and America's role in Ukraine's future.

After shaping Canada’s recent election outcome, Donald Trump’s polarizing presence now casts a long shadow over Australia’s federal vote. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese appears to be benefiting from an anti-Trump sentiment, with his firm stance and centrist appeal gaining traction as Australians head to the polls. As opposition leader Peter Dutton struggles to counter Labour’s narrative, the “Trump effect” may once again sway a foreign election—this time, Down Under.

The Trump administration is preparing to downsize the CIA, NSA, and other intelligence agencies, cutting over 1,200 jobs. The Washington Post reports hundreds at the CIA have already taken early retirement, with further cuts to come via hiring freezes. CIA Director John Ratcliffe says the goal is to realign the agency with Trump’s national security vision. The administration has also scrapped DEI programs, fired top generals, and is shifting intelligence focus toward China and human sources. Some laid-off employees are challenging terminations in court. Tulsi Gabbard’s office has not responded to the reports.
