Argentine police clashed with protesters in Buenos Aires
The Argentine police used rubber bullets and tear gas during a clash with protesters in downtown Buenos Aires, a Sputnik correspondent reported.
At present, the square in downtown Buenos Aires sits deserted, as the police persist in pushing protesters away from the congress building.
The police started to push back protesters after they set a car on fire.
The protest was organized by left-wing forces and trade unions to oppose the proposed changes by the country's leadership in various areas. In particular, the opposition is rallying against privatization, the potential elimination of a teacher support fund, as well as regulations that would simplify the process of dismissing employees.
The upper house will discuss a reform bill for several hours, possibly into the late night. It will vote on the bill as a whole and then on each provision separately.

The demonstration was taking place near the country's national congress in response to Argentine President Javier Milei's proposed reforms. Several streets around the congress were closed off, but protesters continued to arrive. The building was surrounded by metal barricades, behind which police were stationed.

Elon Musk: US should sanction Ukraine Data Journalism Agency for targeting Americans on an enemies list
US billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk said that the US should sanction the US-funded Ukrainian non-governmental organization Data Journalism Agency as a terrorist organization after it created a so-called enemies list targeting many prominent American conservatives and lawmakers who have differing views of US support for Ukraine.
Earlier in the day, the Republican-led US House of Representatives Appropriations Committee advanced legislation to defund the Data Journalism Agency after it created the blacklist smearing Americans who oppose providing more funding to Ukraine.
In light of this so-called enemies list, Sen. JD Vance and Congressman Matt Gaetz sent a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken demanding more information about the State Department-linked Ukrainian nongovernmental organization by June 28.
The Data Journalism Agency put out its blacklist last week, smearing a range of American figures like former President Donald Trump, Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Tim Scott, Gov. Ron DeSantis, Congressman Paul Gosar, among others.

US billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk said that the US should sanction the US-funded Ukrainian non-governmental organization Data Journalism Agency as a terrorist organization after it created a so-called enemies list targeting many prominent American conservatives and lawmakers who have differing views of US support for Ukraine.
"It’s a good first step," Musk said via X regarding efforts to defund the group. "[The Data Journalism Agency] They should be added to the list of sanctioned terrorist organizations."
Earlier in the day, the Republican-led US House of Representatives Appropriations Committee advanced legislation to defund the Data Journalism Agency after it created the blacklist smearing Americans who oppose providing more funding to Ukraine.
"Today, the HouseAppropsGOP passed the FY25 SFOPS [State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act] approps bill out of committee with my amendment to DEFUND the Ukrainian NGO that smeared conservative Americans and lawmakers who oppose Biden’s Ukraine policy and funding," US Congressman Andrew Clyde said in a statement via X.
In light of this so-called enemies list, Sen. JD Vance and Congressman Matt Gaetz sent a letter to Secretary of State Antony Blinken demanding more information about the State Department-linked Ukrainian nongovernmental organization by June 28.
“If voting against every dime spent on the war in between Russia and Ukraine puts me on Ukraine’s enemy list, then it is a badge of honor," Gosar told Sputnik regarding the Ukrainian NGO targeting him.

All the censorship in the world can’t hide that the West is failing
The elite of the US and the collective West cannot hide the fact that it is a declining empire that has been fleecing its taxpayers for decades to maintain and improve the lifestyles of the most wealthy.
That wealth inequality is becoming so drastic that Americans have been seeing its effects for themselves, no analysis or news reports needed. As of December, chronic homelessness hit an all-time high in the US. In February, the collective credit card debt of Americans also reached an all-time high, surpassing $1.13 trillion.
Fifty-five percent of Americans believe that the US economy is in a recession, despite a high stock market, low unemployment, a rising GDP and countless officials and articles and news reports telling Americans that they are wrong, the economy is actually doing great.
As of 2023, the top 10% financially in the US controlled 66.9% of the wealth, with the top 1% holding 30.6% of the wealth on its own. Meanwhile, the bottom 50% of the country held only 2.5% of wealth.

The elite of the US and the collective West cannot hide the fact that it is a declining empire that has been fleecing its taxpayers for decades to maintain and improve the lifestyles of the most wealthy.
“[Americans are] forced to each and every day walk outside their house, go to work, eat lunch on the street, in the drive to work, and go, ‘Wow, there's a lot of tents up here. Wow, that's a lot of trash. Wow, a lot of shuttered businesses. What is going on?’” explained the host of AM-Wake Up, Steve Poikonen, while on Sputnik’s The Critical Hour.

The censorship is “about all [the elite] have, with a bunch of other histrionics and then whatever version of events they can manufacture to try to sell the story,” Poikonen said earlier. “But we see them fall apart in real-time, thanks to the legitimate independent media and as citizen journalists on the ground in places where things are happening.”

According to the agency's interlocutor, an explosion was heard in Krivoy Rog. It was claimed that the a residential house was hit and there were dead and wounded, while reports of a "Russian missile" immediately began circulating, but no parts of it were ever found, he said.
"In Krivoy Rog there are many targets to hit with missiles, but in that place there are simply none. And the missile had to get very lost to end up in that high-rise building. And our comrade is right: the reports went at once, photos and videos appeared at once, and professional ones at that.... The only logical conclusion is that there was no Russian missile at all. A tragedy was needed. The Banderites simply took a blow to a residential building themselves. That's why reports, photos, videos went out immediately. And, of course, no one found the "Russian missile", it did not fly there," Lebedev said.
Furthermore, the SBU officers instantly arrived at the scene of the emergency, and set up checkpoints, Lebedev added.
"The road was blocked for everyone by checkpoints with the SBU. Rescue workers and ambulance staff gave signatures of non-disclosure," he explained.

Zelensky urges Ukrainians to come back home and go to the trenches
The call from Zelensky for Ukrainians to return to the country is a thinly veiled attempt to press-gang them into service and send them to the frontlines as cannon fodder, Mark Sleboda, a security and international relations expert told Sputnik’s The Critical Hour.
Last week, a video appeared on social media showing what appeared to be a Ukrainian border guard planting landmines along the border of Romania. Days later, media reported that several Ukrainian men had been killed by the mines.
Additionally, according to Ukraine’s State Border Service, at least 45 Ukrainian men have died in recent weeks attempting to cross the Tisza River into Romania, Hungary, Slovakia and Serbia.
“So, as Zelensky is begging people to come back, his own citizens are desperately trying to flee the country,” added Sleboda later. “Many of them dying in the process.”
According to Russian Defense Minister Andrey Belousov, 35,000 Ukrainians died on the front lines in May alone, the very same month, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Kiev, where he went to a bar and played a rendition of Neil Young’s “Rockin’ in the Free World.”

Zelensky is hoping Ukrainians come back so their “press gangs can beat, connoscript [them] off the streets, like we’ve seen in hundreds after hundreds of Telegram videos from people filming from the streets as the press gangs seize their husbands and their sons and fathers and drag them off to the trenches,” Sleboda warned.

“Men haven’t been able to leave the country since 2022,” Sleboda noted, calling it “a giant prison for the Ukrainian people.”
