Monday U.S. Department of State spokesman Tommy Pigott revealed that under the leadership of President Trump, the United States is dismantling ISIS’s ability to finance terrorism around the world by cutting off the financial lifelines from around the world that enable ISIS to fund attacks, support its regional affiliates, and threaten civilians, including religious minorities.
The terrorism designations target three individuals and six entities operating across Europe, the Middle East, and West Africa who have enabled ISIS to move money across borders – exposing a network that spans from France and Syria to Türkiye and Nigeria.
Doubted by all and all doubters now silenced – if they watched the game. Congratulations. The Oklahoma Sooners are the 2026 NCAA Division I Baseball National Champions.

America’s strength is more than our military power. It depends on economic leadership, energy security, strong law enforcement, and the ability to cut off hostile regimes from exploiting our systems to undermine our country.
That is why Congress should reject the CLARITY Act in its current form.
By creating broad exemptions and carve-outs for crypto special interests, the legislation would interfere with law enforcement and national security officials’ ability to identify who is moving money, where it is going, and whether it is tied to sanctioned actors. Without strong Know-Your- Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money-Laundering (AML) standards, bad actors in Iran and North Korea can use crypto to fund terrorism, launder money for criminal activity, and undermine our critical defense tools.
The danger is not theoretical.
LAREDO, Texas: U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at the World Trade Bridge seized narcotics that totaled over $10,122,000 in street value. The likely intended course of travel north would have taken those drugs through if not to Oklahoma. Thank CBP for diligence in saving lives.
The seizure occurred on Monday, June 15, at the World Trade Bridge, when a CBP officer referred a 2013 D-13 Volvo big rig hauling a shipment manifested as “polypropylene” for secondary inspection. Following a canine and nonintrusive inspection system examination, CBP officers discovered 1,100.79 pounds of suspected methamphetamine within the commodity. The narcotics have a street value of $10,122,012.
