The incident is putting renewed focus on the accuracy of E-Verify, the system the federal government created for employers to check if prospective employees have legal authorization to work in the United States. Federal immigration officials have asserted that the Old Orchard Beach Police Department either “knowingly” hired an unauthorized immigrant as a reserve officer or did not do enough independent verification of the man’s status. The department has said it thoroughly…
President Donald Trump sent letters to more than a dozen major drugmakers Thursday demanding that they lower the cost of prescription drugs in the U.S. within 60 days. In the letters — which Trump published on his social media platform Truth Social — the drugmakers were told to offer the “full portfolio” of their existing medications to Medicaid patients at the same prices paid abroad, also known as the “most favored nation” rule. He also told drugmakers to “guarantee” that patients on Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance get the same lower prices that are paid abroad for all newly approved…

00:00I’m sure you’ve been really busy the last few months with everything that’s going on in tariffs and trade deals. Let’s just start with Bank of Japan. You heard our colleague there talking about perhaps setting the stage for an October hike. Is that your baseline scenario as well for the Bank of Japan? Well, very similar to President Trump. I think JPY is very exasperated with the fact that the dollar is not moving and the Fed is not moving because it’s very clear that the BOJ is not in a hurry to hike. It knows that the weekend…
Azerbaijan and Uzbekistan are entering a new phase of energy cooperation, one that promises to draw the two Central Asian nations closer together in a mutually beneficial commercial embrace. At the cooperation’s core lies the forthcoming production sharing agreement (PSA) between Azerbaijan’s state company SOCAR and Uzbekistan’s Ministry of Energy, which is set to govern joint exploration in the Ustyurt region. Trilateral cooperation with Kazakhstan through the Caspian Green Energy Corridor has laid institutional groundwork for Caspian-region developments since 2023. However, this specific new bilateral move reflects a more concentrated, durable alignment that highlights the institutional, technological and geopolitical dimensions…

A lengthy June 20, 2025, article in Nanfang zhoumo, or “Southern Weekly” – an influential and respected media outlet based in Guangzhou…

A Glittering Trail From Hollywood Hills to Santiago The break-in at Keanu Reeves’ Los Angeles home last December wasn’t your average smash-and-grab. Whoever slipped past the actor’s home security system knew exactly what they were after. They took nothing else—no cash, no artwork—just six rare timepieces, including a stainless-steel Rolex Submariner engraved with the initials “KCR.” At first, investigators assumed it…
