Three U.S. Democratic senators introduced a War Powers Resolution on Wednesday to prevent military action against Cuba, as the Trump administration indicted former Cuban president Raúl Castro and deployed the USS Nimitz carrier strike group to the Caribbean. The move reflects escalating U.S. pressure on the island, with Trump declaring "we are liberating Cuba" amid rhetoric about regime change, while congressional Democrats warned against an unauthorized military invasion and cautioned that such action would lack legal authority and solid justification.

PoliticalCrisis🇿🇦South Africa52d ago

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa is facing possible impeachment over the 'Farmgate' scandal, after the Constitutional Court lifted a ruling that had blocked proceedings. The case centres on the theft of over $500,000 in cash hidden at his Phala Phala farm in 2020 — money Ramaphosa allegedly failed to declare or report, which he denies constitutes wrongdoing.

<p>The approach of July 4 is making my heart hurt. Love of this country is deep-dyed in my soul, but pondering how or even whether to celebrate the semiquincentennial provokes a riot of mixed feelings.</p><p>The right — and not just the MAGA right — responds to any queasiness about this particular anniversary with knee-jerk vituperation. Matthew Hennessey, writing in the Wall Street Journal, offered a typical example of this Pavlovian response this week when he accused Robert De Niro of "hating America." What had the actor done to deserve this verdict?

World Cup 2026: Tournament kicks off under shadow of politics and restrictions Submitted by Shaheryar Mirza on Thu, 06/11/2026 - 14:33 As this year's edition of the global competition gets underway, it is rife with barriers to entry and fears that fans will have to worry about more than team's performances People walk past a mural with political messages ahead of the match in Mexico City, Mexico, on 10 June 2026 (Kai Pfaffenbach/Reuters) Off The world's most prestigious sporting event kicks off on Thursday, but for many it's a moment where the beautiful game meets the ugly realities of visa restrictions, price gouging and political interference.  The first match of the tournament will take place between host country Mexico and 2010 host South Africa, followed by South Korea taking on Czechia.  The Canada-US leg of the tournament starts Friday afternoon, with Canada facing Bosnia and Herzegovina and the US taking on Paraguay later in the evening. The US will host 78 out of 104 matches, with Canada and Mexico allotted 15 each. Despite Mexico's smaller footprint during the tournament, its opening ceremony could not escape the politicised landscape, with thousands of protesters descending on the Estadio Ciudad de Mexico ahead of the opening match.
