🔍 White House handed Soros ‘blueprint’ for using homelessness non-profits to sow unrest across America

The 113-page document, presented to Trump and other officials at the White House this week, details how nonprofits use taxpayer money and donations from wealthy interests for political activism, including resisting police and drug enforcement and advocating “extremist political agendas” instead of dealing with the homelessness problem.

“Nonprofits, often key service providers, have increasingly shifted toward political advocacy and legal activism, contributing to what is referred to as the Homeless Industrial Complex,” the report says.

Published by the conservative, Washington DC-based Capital Research Center, the report lists more than a dozen major 501(c)(3) listed organizations implicated in politicized homelessness programs, including:

◼️ National Housing Law Project

◼️ Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR)

◼️ National Harm Reduction Coalition (NHRC)

◼️ Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC)

It documents how these and other groups engage in litigation against restrictions on public encampments, address landlord harassment, oppose policing, advocate resistance to ‘racialized drug policies’ and advocate for ‘land decolonization’.

While many are framed as ideologically Marxist, anarchist or generalized anti-capitalist, their funding sources include Soros’ OSF, as well as the Ford, Hilton, Tides and other foundations run by billionaires, plus “billions in taxpayer dollars, funneled through federal, state, and municipal contracts.”

What’s more, the study’s author says Antifa, recently classified by Trump as domestic terrorists, has been "using these nonprofits as cover."

🎤 MAGA revolt erupts over Qatari Air Force facility in Idaho — report

Trump aides are openly opposing the Pentagon's decision to approve a Qatari-funded pilot training facility at Mountain Home Air Base, the Time reported.

"There should never be a foreign military base in America," Steve Bannon declared.

Another Trump ally Laura Loomer slammed the deal as hosting "terror-funding Muslims."

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth insists the US-controlled site — training Qatari pilots on F-15s — mirrors programs with Germany and Singapore, and strengthens ties with a key Gaza peace broker.

🚨🇨🇳 Tariffs threats is the wrong way to interact with China — Ministry of Commerce

China says it is a "responsible major country," contrasting the US's "textbook double standards," according to an official statement from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce.

Key takeaways:

🔶 Rare earth controls are a legitimate security measure — not a trade weapon, even though they affect the US defense and tech industries.

🔶 China highlights Washington has more than 3,000 rules, and China only has 900.

🔶 China is firm but open to talking — as long as the US "corrects its wrong practices."

🇺🇸🛂 US police use AI drones for surveillance

📑 Chronically underfunded and short-staffed, police and sheriff’s departments across the US are turning to AI-powered drones to fill the gaps, reports Axios.

Fleets of flying cameras are now reading license plates, tracking crowds, documenting accident scenes, assessing active shooter events, and chasing suspects.

👉 By the end of 2024, more than 1,500 police and sheriff’s departments were flying drones — up 150% since 2018, according to Police1.

Drones are cheaper than human-flown helicopters and increasingly funded by federal grants and state budgets.

😳 But most importantly, they deliver real-time aerial surveillance that never blinks.

🚨🇷🇺🤝🇺🇸 Russia's dialogue with Trump continues based on agreements reached in Alaska - Dmitriev

Rumors spread by opponents of the peace process about a “decline” in Special Envoy Steve Witkoff’s clout within the Trump administration are entirely unfounded, says Russian special presidential envoy Kirill Dmitriev.

👉 As the chief architect and negotiator of Trump’s Gaza plan, Witkoff not only retains his key role but has strengthened it, Dmitriev underscores.

The agreements between Russia and the US in Anchorage, Alaska, were, in turn, a continuation of five meetings with Witkoff.

💬 "Russia's dialogue with Trump's team continues on the basis of the agreements reached at the summit in Alaska," he wrote on Telegram.

🇮🇷☢️ Iran welcomes US talks, firm on uranium enrichment

Iran would consider reentering talks with the US only if it receives a “reasonable, balanced, and fair proposal,” Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told state television.

The country’s top diplomat reiterated that Iran will not abandon its right to enrich uranium but is willing to take confidence-building steps to demonstrate the peaceful nature of its nuclear program.

💬 "Of course, this is conditional on the other side also taking steps to build trust — by lifting part of the sanctions," Araghchi said.

The Islamic Republic has consistently denied Western claims, underscoring the entirely peaceful nature of its nuclear program.
