Plans made to save Houthi-struck bulker from sinking

Adis Ajdin February 22, 2024

An abandoned Belize-flagged bulk carrier Rubymar which was damaged by Yemen’s Houthi missile strike, is still floating despite taking in water.

The Houthis had earlier said the vessel was in danger of sinking after claiming the attack that took place in the Strait of Bab el-Mandeb late Sunday and forced the crew of 24, including four guards, to abandon ship. No injuries were reported, and the crew have since been safely transported to Djibouti.

Despite several confusing videos on social media of the vessel sinking, the latest images taken of the Rubymar show it still above water but well down by the stern after suffering a strike near the engine room.

The attack and damage inflicted on the 32,200 dwt ship with about 22 tonnes of fertilizer on board is so far the most serious incident of the escalating Red Sea conflict.

According to TankerTrackers.com, the vessel owned by UK-registered Golden Adventure Shipping and managed by Lebanon-based Blue Fleet Group is leaking fuel oil but is still afloat.

“She is located in the southbound traffic lane,” the monitoring service said in a post on social media platform X.

Efforts are underway to recover the 1997-built vessel that is still at risk of sinking and tow it back to Djibouti.

“She will be towed to Djibouti but the tugboat has not yet arrived,” Blue Fleet CEO Roy Khoury told AFP. “It should be there in two to three days.”

EXCELLENT SUMMARY OF A REPORT TO CHANGE THE FIGURES OF EXCESS DEATH NUMBERS BY CHANGING THE CRITERIA OF EXCESS DEATHS!!!

Note: Anon was very much a numbers, figures and stats reports manager in anons old life of work, figures, data and projections can be changed to show whatever was positive or negative depending on who the reporting was aimed at. Considering not all deaths are reported i.e 10% report to sites for said purpose 90% unreported (not counted) this now proves that the figures put out by the arbitours of offical statistics are hiding the deaths of those who took the vaccines or did not get the treatment and appointments in hospital. The level of evil minds who thought this up, to remove those who contributed to society after they died so even their deaths are covered up is beyond human behaviour. Shame katie did not post the source, but anons can find it with a bit of research.

Instead of attacking Yemen, these countries should stop the war in Gaza so that stability returns to the region and the conflict does not spread.

The Rhetorical Genius of Donald Trump (Guest Post)

Trump speaks to the Evangelical "habitus"

JOHN SEEL

FEB 21, 2024.1/3 or 4EXCELLENT

This is a guest post by Dr. John Seel. He holds a PhD in American Studies from the University of Maryland and MDiv from Covenant Theological Seminary, and he is an Anglican cultural renewal entrepreneur and social impact consultant. Views expressed are those of the author. - Aaron.

There is a method to Trump's madness. While the media and his political opponents play rhetorical checkers, he wins by playing rhetorical chess. To understand him and his political success,you must understand the game he is playing. It is almost inevitable that we must learn to do that again.

To complement Trump's rhetorical skill is not an endorsement. I'm an independently oriented conservative Christian political voter, whose friends, and respected interlocutors (Pete Wehner, Mike Cromartie, and David Brooks) are all "never Trumpers." While it is true that my reaction to the Biden administration has made me become more politically conservative—the Afghanistan withdrawal in particular—I'm staunchly against forms of "Christian nationalism." As a student of contemporary religious culture, Trump is not a topic that can be ignored. Why is it that over 80 percent of American evangelicals voted for Donald Trump? And will likely do so again. It is for reasons that are deeper than public policy. Peter Leithart argues in "Why Trump Is Still Wildely Popular," that it is based on René Girard's theory of scapegoating. While this may be true, I think there is a simpler explanation.

I also teach classical rhetoric at an Anglican-micro-college in California. I'm attentive to the dynamics of successful rhetorical skills, which Trump demonstrates in spades. He does so in three ways.

First, he identifies with his audience.

Second, he gains attention space in the media.

Third, he reframes the arguments.

Trump may be infuriating to some, buthe is a uniquely gifted communicator. We'd all do well to learn his game.

There is public criticism over the increase in identity politics. However, it is a political truism that people vote for people who connect with them and reflect their identity. Pew Research found that "Partisans without four-year college degrees are more likely than those with degrees to say a major reason for affiliating with their party is because it 'sticks up for people like me'—and this is especially the case among Republicans."

There are two kinds of things that politicians can identify with: things on the surface and things in the deep. Class, race, and gender are surface markers.The deeper dynamics are the animating myths and stories that reflect our unconscious sense of self. These are much more telling and enduring.

They are historically derived biases and dispositions that shape our unconscious perception of reality.They are framing dispositions of mind. This is identity politics at its deepest and most effective level. Karl Marx correctly observed that "Men make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please; they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly encountered from the past. The tradition of all the dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living."Our perception of reality is framedby these unconscious historically derived dispositions that have become second nature.

The academic term for this interior history is "habitus."Habitus is the inherent feel for the game within a specific sphere of social action. Originally an Aristotelian term, it was further developed by French social theorist Pierre Bourdieu.He described habitus as the "unconscious history," the "hearth of mental activity," the "forgotten history" that history has produced and has since become second nature.

Bourdieu writes, "Agents merely need to let themselves follow their own social nature, that is, what history has made them, to be as it were 'naturally' adjusted to the historical world they are up against, to do what they have to do, to realize the future potentially inscribed in this world where they are like fish in water."

Donald Trump managed to sway the entire panel of undecided voters following his South Carolina town hall, ahead of the primary this Saturday.

Watch below:

Despite being Nikki Haley’s home state, she’s expected to lose to Trump (who has a 23-point lead in the polls) in the primary. Regardless, she’s intent on staying in the race, though why that is remains a mystery.

2/3 or 4

Historians and political scientists have often wonderedwhy American evangelicals do not seem to vote based on their theology or moral sensitivities. At this level Trump's biography and behavior would seem to create obstacles to their support. Historian George Marsden indicates that it is more than theology that is a play in these dynamics. He writes, "On the issues of culture and politics generalizations about evangelicalism are particularly hazardous. This is becausetheir behavior is based on a collection of useful myths—that is, selected truths and half-truths—that define the identity of a people, establish a model that they ought to emulate, and hence legitimates present action." American evangelicals vote based on their habitus not their theology: their "useful myths and selected truths."..

In this analysis, I acknowledge making sweeping generalizations, however, a clear pattern emerges. I haveobserved six cultural dispositional characteristicsof the current evangelical habitus—the water in which the American evangelical swims. Habitus do not have to be historically accurate only historically derived.

Here are my six characteristics of the evangelical habitus:

Reign: A Christian Nation (1630-1800) – majoritarianism and exceptionalism

Revivalism: Faith in Man (1800-1880) – populism, pietism, and nativism

Resentment: Loss of Hegemony (1880-1930) – grievance and resentment

Retreat: A Lifestyle Enclave (1930-1970) – isolation and parallel institutions

Reassertion: Take Back (1970-1995) – political assertion and functional Nietzscheanism

Reassessment: Cracks in the Habitus (19995-2020) – emergent and deconstruction

The Christian Nationalist movement is a loose mixture of these latent dispositions including American exceptionalism, populism and suspicion of elites, deep resentment coupled with nativism, and political reassertion.Collectively, these sound like themes of every Trump rally=. His coalition is not based on an evangelical theology, but an evangelical habitus—which is most pronounced among the large number of self-defined evangelicals who are less educated and attend church less frequently.Trump regularly hammers the habitus of reign, revivalism, resentment, retreat, and reassertion. These themes resonate with a deeply laden subconscious identity politics. Evangelical support is almost inevitable. Those who don't support Trump are generally less committed to the historic evangelical habitus. They make up those engaged in some measure of reassessment. While the habitus argument explains why people identify with Trump's message,there is more to his communication strategy.

At any given moment, there arelimits to the public's attention span. Editor and newsroom showrunners must decide what topic deserves airing or printing; what gets the A Block or the space above the fold in a newspaper. In every news cycle, there is a constant competition for attention space. What is true of the platform of media distribution is also true in the minds of a given audience.People are increasingly distracted, multitasking, and easily disinterested. There is a constant competition for the public's attention.For a message to gain influence with the public, it must first achieve attention space. Sociologist Randall Collins writes, "Cultural capital is apportioned around an attention space; the more valuable cultural capital is that which can be used most successfully in the next round of competition for attention."

Your message mustgain attention and sustain attentionto make a difference. Collins also observes that attention space is limited to about six topics.Trump knows how to get and sustain attention.

When pundits talk about Trump "sucking the oxygen out of the room" they are talking about dominating the attention space. He does this in various ways,but a common tactic is to make borderline outrageous comments. When the former president suggested recently that he would let Russia do "whatever the hell they want" to any NATO member that doesn't meet spending guidelines, the impact was acute sending a shudder across the entire foreign policy world.Every political candidate was forced to engage his remarks.

Headlines were made everywhere. Trump's point was that treaty obligations come with treaty responsibilities. The political rejoinder was that Trump would renege on his treaty obligations. Trump was warning NATO members, highlighting their obligations, and simultaneouslysucking the oxygen out of the room of his remaining political rival Nikki Haley whose political capital is in foreign policy..

'Win-win': A bill to eliminate taxes on Social Security benefits has been reintroduced — and it might keep the program afloat for 20 more years. Here's how

https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/retirement/win-win-a-bill-to-eliminate-taxes-on-social-security-benefits-has-been-reintroduced-and-it-might-keep-the-program-afloat-for-20-more-years-here-s-how/ar-BB1iDTpp?ocid=msedgntp&pc=U531&cvid=445a15a2fdf54fa9a1d5419363f97f1a&ei=68

A bill announced in the U.S. House could scrap federal taxes on Social Security benefits starting in 2025, while introducing a new funding stream that might keep the program going for an additional 20 years.

On Jan. 25, Rep. Angie Craig, D-Minn., reintroduced legislation, dubbed the “You Earned It, You Keep It Act,” that would repeal the taxation of Social Security benefits, putting money back into the pockets of retirees.

In addition, an analysis of the bill from the Social Security Administration shows how changes in financing would allow the agency to continue making payments in full through 2054, which is 20 years longer than current projections.

“This bill is a win-win — it's a tax cut for seniors and a way to ensure more Americans can depend on the Social Security benefits they’ve earned,” Craig said in a press release.

Here’s how the bill would work.

New financing

The big change in the bill with how benefits are financed has to with the Social Security payroll tax. Employers and employees each pay tax on 6.2% of wages up to a maximum of $168,600 in 2024 — the self-employed pay 12.4% in taxes. The proposed bill would kick the payroll tax back into gear once earnings exceed $250,000, leaning on high earners to increase funding.

These financing measures might allow retirees to afford enjoying their full Social Security benefits. At present, folks with a combined income — which includes your adjusted gross income, plus nontaxable interest, plus half of your Social Security benefits — of $25,000 or more (and couples filing jointly with a combined income of $32,000 or more) currently pay taxes on at least 50% of their benefits. The bill would eliminate these taxes.

According to the SSA, about 40% of people who receive Social Security benefits end up paying taxes on them each year.

Inflation is 'eroding' benefits

The Social Security Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund is currently projected to run low by 2033, which means retirees are expected to receive about 77% of their benefits at that time. If the bill is passed, and the SSA analysis is correct, benefits would be fully funded until 2054.

Many depend on these benefits, but despite a 3.2% cost-of-living adjustment to Social Security payments this year, some beneficiaries aren’t convinced the monthly checks will be enough to account for the increased cost of basic goods, which are up 3.1% compared to a year ago, according to the latest Census Bureau numbers.

For these folks, a tax break on benefits may go a long way. A retired elementary school teacher, Sally Hokkanen, told Fox 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul that she and her husband rely on Social Security payments and their 401(k)s to make ends meet.

“Most of it goes to rent and transportation,” Hokkanen said, adding that she’d love to use the extra money to travel if the tax on Social Security benefits gets eliminated with the “You Earned It, You Keep It Act.”

"Historic inflation is eroding seniors' budgets, jeopardizing the financial security they've worked their whole lives to achieve," Rep.

Themedia was playing checkers with Trump's comments while he was playing chess—garnering media attention, speaking to NATO leaders, rebuking Nikki Haley's foreign policy credentials, challenging Putin, and advocating "America First" to his own voters all in one sentence.You do not have to like his style, but you cannot deny his rhetorical savvy. Trump was not saying what he would do in this given foreign policy scenario,rather he was making a wide-ranging rhetorical point amid a political campaign. He gave a right-brain challenge only to receive a left-brain critique. He got the media's attention and framed the debate via a hypothetical story thereby engaging the audience's imagination.

Most often he does this via Tweets. Berkeley cognitive scientist George Lakoff is an expert on linguistic framing. Everyone thinks first in frames. If the facts don’t fit the frame, the facts bounce off and the frame remains. So in this sense, frames rule.Winning the frame is the second most important communication step after gaining attention space. Trump does this via his Tweets.

Lakoff argues that Donald Trump’s Tweets are an exercise in framing andare not to be parsed as a series of factual propositions. They are tactical rather than substantive. Because thenews mediais addicted to "Breaking News" andhas a high proclivity for left-brain propositional thinking, media companies rush to report extensively on Trump's latest Tweet…playing directly into his rhetorical hand.

Media outlets inadvertently shift the focus off the substance under debate and on to the frame of Trump’s choosing in his latest Tweet. The media in this manner may well serve as co-conspirators of Trump's reframing and serve as amplifiers of his preferred perspective.

Trump's approach may be subversive, but it is also genius. While there may be some substance in some of his Tweets, their main purpose is to establish the frame rather than deliver the facts.

Lakoff has identified four kinds of Trump Tweets.

Preemptive Framing– be the first to frame an idea, establish an early frame and the facts will be hereafter seen only through that frame. Here is an example from January 7, 2017: "Only reason the hacking of the poorly defended DNC is discussed is that the loss by the Dems was so big that they are totally embarrassed!"Trump’s goal was to establish that the DNC was at faultfor the hacking—undefended, sloppy handling of classified information, deleted emails, questionable IT consultants and the like.

Diversion– divert attention from the real issues to in effect force a public change of subject, that is, controlling the narrative in the attention space.His early morning Tweets are designed to frame the day’s media discussion. Here is an example from January 9, 2017: "Meryl Streep, one of the most over-rated actresses in Hollywood, doesn't know me but attacked me last night at the Golden Globes." Here Trump is making Streep's comments at a TV award ceremony the night before they talked about news instead of the then pressing stories about the Russian hacking.

Deflection– attack the messenger, change direction. This is done frequently against the media by calling this or that story "fake news." Media information is suspect; the Trump administration is the source of truth. Here's an example from January 11, 2017: "Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to leak into the public. One last shot at me. Are we living in Nazi Germany?" Here again he puts rhetorical blood in the water directly suggesting a parallel between the intelligence agencies and Nazi Germany. And the media sharks pounced. Everyone took the bait, as was his plan. It's not an argument of fact, but an exercise in framing, getting attention, and controlling the narrative.

Trial Balloon– test the public reaction. The media went crazy over Trump’s Tweet that his "red button" is bigger than Kim Jong-un. Dr. Freud has been immediately called to the public square. But again, this is to misread the purpose of these Tweets. Here is an example of a Trial Balloon from December 22, 2017: "The United States must greatly strengthen and expand its nuclear capability until such time as the world comes to its senses regarding nukes." This is not an ethical discussion of just war theory.Rather he is framing the controversy with North Korea and testing the public reactionto nuclear arms escalation.

4/4

Lakoff also notes thatembracing or attacking the frame has the same result of strengthening the frame. Confrontational argument or the piling on of alternative facts does not shift frames. This left-brain strategy is a non-starter.Rather frames shift when we engage the imagination, tell a better story, or use creative indirection. Poet Emily Dickinson put it this way:

Tell all the Truth but tell it slant —

Success in Circuit lies

Too bright for our infirm Delight

The Truth’s superb surprise.

We are to tell the whole truth, but not directly. She explains this in her second line, "Success in Circuit lies." We are to tell the truth in a roundabout manner, and she inverts the syntax of this line to demonstrate what she means.

How we process Truth is infirmed, weak, and unreliable. It is associated with our desires, what Dickinson refers to as "delights"—we are not thinkers first, but lovers first. We come to understand that which we love. Desire precedes thinking and therefore our apprehension of the brightness of Truth is impeded by our "infirm Delight."

Finally, finding truth is more like an "ah-ha" moment, a surprise, an unexpected self-discovery, than the relentless inevitable logic of a syllogism. Dickinson is talking about embodied truth seeking, how flesh and blood people go about being convinced on a topic day-to-day. This is not elite epistemology, but street epistemology. This is how actual people come to their conclusions.

It seems that Trump is playing a different game from the mainstream media.His rhetorical skills explain his success in a digitally oriented media world.

• He frames his arguments within his audiences' habitus;

• he controls the attention space of the media;

• and prioritizes winning the frame.

This has been for him a winning strategy.We are likely to see it play out again.

Russia secures ‘Victory’ in Donetsk

Moscow’s forces have liberated the settlement of Pobeda (Victory), also defeating several Ukrainian formations in the area

Moscow’s forces have liberated the settlement of Pobeda near the capital of Russia’s Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), according to a battlefield update published by the Defense Ministry on Thursday.

In addition to capturing Pobeda – whose name translates as ‘Victory’ – Russian troops have also improved their positions along the front line in Donetsk, defeating Ukrainian formations near the villages of Novomikhailovka and Krasnohorivka, the ministry said.

The battles resulted in heavy casualties for Ukraine, according to the report, which claimed Kiev lost over 410 servicemen, as well as a range of military hardware, including Western-supplied systems.

The Russian military also said it haddestroyed the launcher and transport-loading vehicle of a US-made Patriot anti-aircraft missile system, along with other Ukrainian military equipment and manpower in 114 regions.

Last week, Moscow announced the capture of the key Donbass stronghold of Avdeevka, which had served as a pivotal fortress for Kiev since the early stages of the conflict.

After months of immense pressure from Russian forces, the Ukrainian military ordered its troops to withdraw from the town on Friday, explaining that the retreat was meant to avoid heavy casualties.

The Russian Defense Ministry, however, stated that Ukrainian forces had started fleeing a day before the official order came through. It shared drone footage purporting to show large groups of Ukrainian servicemen escaping the town on foot while leaving behind heavy equipment.

Moscow has estimated that Kiev lost over 1,500 troops during the retreat, and abandoned wounded soldiers, military hardware, and equipment.

The deranged killer was seen grinning and smiling during the sentencing hearing

Lawhon's loved ones said he certainly would have helped Lopez if she told him she was struggling, as he was described as 'an exceptional person with time for everyone'

Lopez sparked outrage at her sentencing as she smirked at her victim's relatives when they branded her a 'monster'

His former colleague Darin Campbell told KPTV: 'She never once said a single word in that cab ride. If she would’ve said to Reese, ‘I need help’ he would have helped her.

'Her assistance would’ve been right there in the front seat of that car. It could’ve been very different.'

'The excuses that were made in the courtroom today for (Lopez’s) actions are disgraceful,' Campbell added.

'Our opinion is she is a homicidal mentally ill individual who should never be set free ever again. The Radio Cab management team that unfortunately had to see the video of the murder of Reese Lawhon are traumatized, I being one of them.'

Just days before the killing, Lopez had been arrested for threatening two employees at a supermarket, and was charged with disorderly conduct, trespassing and weapons charges.

She failed to turn up to court on those charges, but the case was dismissed as part of a plea deal over Lawhon's killing that reduced her murder charges to manslaughter.

The plea deal was accepted by Lawhon's sisters as they said they didn't want to put their parents through more grief, but slated the deal even being proposed and felt justice was not done.

'When Moses gets out in 20 years - assuming she's still alive which trust me I hope she's not - I look forward to testifying against her for whatever senseless crime she commits next, because she will,' his sister, Claire Pearce, told KATU.

His older sister, Natalie Boenker, added: 'I am haunted daily by what Reese must have felt in those last 45 seconds. I wonder, was he scared? Did he think of us? Was he in pure shock? And was he in pain?'

Campbell also condemned the plea deal, saying he believed 'the defense team took advantage of Reese’s family being at a higher age and having to travel a long distance, that they were able to get this plea.'

Lawhon was known as a talented musician and artist, and had previously toured with the Smashing Pumpkins during his music career with band Aan

Tributes poured in for Lawhon following his untimely death, with a close friend saying that if you knew him 'you loved him' and he didn't have 'an enemy anywhere in the world'

At Lopez' sentencing, his sister Claire said she had to explain to Lawhon's nieces and nephews what happened, saying: 'We tell our kids so many times that monsters aren’t under the bed or in the closet, but it’s all a lie… Moses Lopez is a monster and will always be one.'

The remark led Lopez to smirk at the relative, which prompted one of her own defense attorneys to frown and shake her head, reports Oregon Live.

Tributes have poured in for Lawhon following his death, with those that knew him describing him as a kindhearted and friendly person.

He was adopted, and had reportedly just located his biological parents and was planning to meet them before he was killed.

Lawhon was known to enjoy art and music, and his obituary states that while he was at school, he was described by his art teacher as a 'Mozart in the visual arts.'

'A gifted musician, he played the guitar and a set of homemade drums while in high school,' the obituary continued, as he went on to join indie rock band Aan as a bassist and singer.

His music career also included touring with the Smashing Pumpkins, the obituary said.

Lawhon was adopted, and had reportedly just located his biological parents and was planning to meet them before he was killed

'Reese was an exceptional person with time for everyone,' the obituary concluded.

'He exuded a calm confidence and often gifted his friends with timely and comedic quips. He was a keen observer of humanity and a welcome presence in any group. He was a great hugger. He respected people from all walks of life.

'Reese never lost a friend; he just kept adding them and they never left.'

After his death, the Gladney Center for Adoption created the Reese McDowell Lawhon Scholarship Fund in his name, to help adoptive families.

His band paid a touching tribute on Facebook, saying that if you knew Lawhon, 'you loved him.'

'I don’t think he had an enemy anywhere in the world… The void of losing him will last my entire lifetime. Best man in my wedding. First person I called when my dad passed. Always available, comforting, and rational. It’s just too much and not real yet. Infinite love for this beautiful soul.'

Interruptions to US mobile services have been reported across the United States on Thursday morning.

Downdetector.com, which tracks outages, showed thousands of reports made by users of multiple networks after 04:00 EST (09:00 GMT).

The AT&T reports numbered around 32,000 - with hotspots in the southern and eastern US, Downdetector said.

Users say their phones are displaying the SOS message, leaving them unable to make calls or access services.

The cause is unclear. The BBC has approached the operators for comment.

Healy administration brags about their 'green energy' destroy the ocean environments initiaitive boondoggle.

basic point if you do the math it's about 2 kwatts per residence that they claim they are providing for 30,000 home.

well, perhaps a home would have a very low energy usage but if you figure it out that's not really a lot of power per house. It's probably a lot fewer houses that can be serviced with that. This doesn't include losses from transmission, nor losses from theft of power . . .

so if you only have a refridgerator and a couple of lamps you're probably fine.

it you're running your dryer and your stove and some electric heating, there is no way that 2000 watts of power is going to cut it.

now, that is probably an average over the day, so . . . but knowing htem it's the peak output, and that the real output is less.

the costs of all of it, the energy wasted producing it, the costs of all the graft associated with it, the patronage jobs funding extravagant life styles associated, jet-setting climate czars flying all over the globe: the whole thing is probably a wash with no gain or savings, and no less emmissions,

but there will be a lot of hulks of debree in the ocean rotting away for hundreds of years after it's all abandoned when the subsidies for it no longer exist.

In turn, this legislation offers expedited processing and application assistance to immigrants, offering a unique solution to two challenges facing the United States: an influx of migrants looking to work, build a better life for their families, and contribute to our country, as well as a recruitment crisis within the ranks of our Armed Forces. Last year alone, the expected recruiting personnel shortfall

was 10,000 in the Army, 10,000 in the Air Force, and 6,000 in the Navy. Overall, the DoD acting Undersecretary of Personnel and Readiness said that during fiscal year 2023, the military services collectively missed recruiting goals by roughly 41,000 recruits

, leaving critical positions unfilled, putting our nation’s national security at greater risk.

Congressman Ryan has made repeated calls for comprehensive immigration reform, as well as pushed aggressively for increased border security funding. Only weeks ago, Congressman Ryan signed on to a letter to Speaker Johnson urging him to work in good faith across party lines to pass bipartisan border security and immigration reform. Congressman Ryan is a cosponsor of the bipartisan Dignity Act (H.R.3599) that strengthens border security, invests in border infrastructure, grants legal status to undocumented immigrants already living in the United States with the possibility of earning citizenship, establishes new pathways for asylum seekers, and creates new legal pathways for economic migrants and unaccompanied minors. Far-right House leadership has blocked a vote on the bipartisan Dignity Act since it was introduced in May 2023.

Congressman Ryan pushed for House leadership to vote on and pass President Biden’s $13.6 billion border supplemental that would hire 1,300 new border patrol agents, 1,000 law enforcement personnel, 1,600 asylum officers and 375 immigration judge teams. Republicans continue to block this funding from coming to a vote in the months since its proposal.

While House Republicans have blocked votes on full border security funding and comprehensive immigration reform, Congressman Ryan has built a record of calling for and working towards solutions, including calling for streamlining the process of granting asylees work authorization and calling extensively for and helping secure Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans, the largest population of migrants coming to New York City, so they could immediately gain work authorization. Ryan cosponsors legislation to improve U.S. Customs and Border patrol hiring and employee retention.

Congressman Ryan has also fought for increased measures to combat the flow of illicit fentanyl into the United States across the southern border, including making repeated calls for increased funding and cosponsoring the END FENTANYL Act to improve Customs and Border Protection’s ability to crackdown on illicit fentanyl trafficking.

When governors from southern border states began transporting migrants to New York State in the summer of 2023, overwhelming the state’s available resources, Congressman Ryan immediately led a bipartisan letter with Congressman Mike Lawler calling for President Biden to approve New York’s request for a major disaster declaration to usher in additional federal resources.

Brussels spyware bombshell: Surveillance software found on officials’ phones

EU Parliament defense committee was the target of phone hacking, internal email says.

The European Parliament on Wednesday asked members on its defense subcommittee to have their phones checked for spyware after it found traces of hacking on two devices.

Members and staff in the chamber's subcommittee on security and defense (SEDE) have had their phones hit with intrusive surveillance software tools, the institution said in an internal email.

All lawmakers in the subcommittee have been advised to take their phones to the institution's IT service to be checked for spyware, according to the email, seen by POLITICO.

The European Parliament is on high alert for cyberattacks and foreign interference in the run-up to the EU election in June.

POLITICO reported in December that an internal review showed that the institution's cybersecurity "has not yet met industry standards” and is “not fully in-line with the threat level" posed by state-sponsored hackers and other threat groups.

One member of the security and defense subcommittee went in for a routine check on Tuesday, which resulted in a discovery of traces of spyware on their phone. The member told POLITICO it wasn't immediately clear why they were targeted with hacking software.

Parliament's Deputy Spokesperson Delphine Colard said in a statement that "traces found in two devices" prompted the email calling on members to have their phones checked.

"In the given geopolitical context and given the nature of the files followed by the subcommittee on security and defence, a special attention is dedicated to the devices of the members of this subcommittee and the staff supporting its work," the statement said.

The new revelations follow previous incidents with other European Parliament members targeted with spyware. Researchers revealed in 2022 that the phones of members of the Catalan independence movement, including EU politicians, were infected with Pegasus and Candiru, two types of hacking tools. That same year, Greek member of the EU Parliament and opposition leader Nikos Androulakis was among a list of Greek political and public figures found to have been targeted with Predator, another spyware tool. Parliament's President Roberta Metsola previously also faced an attempted hacking using spyware.

European Parliament members in 2022 set up a special inquiry committee to investigate the issue. It investigated a series of scandals in countries including Spain, Greece, Hungary and Poland and said at least four governments in the EU had abused the hacking tools for political gain.

Parliament's IT service launched a system to check members' phones for spyware in April last year. It had run "hundreds of operations" since the program started, the statement said.
