Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Wednesday that the United States will continue cutting the financial lifelines of violent far-left groups, announcing sanctions against three organizations and two individuals. The Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) designated Italy-based Autistici Inventati, the United Kingdom’s Palestine Action, and the transnational group Masar Badil under Executive Order 13224, the government’s primary counterterrorism sanctions authority.

I strongly disagree with many of the things that Hasan Piker has said,” and “it’s incumbent upon Abdul to make it very clear to people that he doesn’t agree with things that Hasan Piker says. I pray we’re not going to see him in Michigan from now until the election. But I’m focused on getting healthcare back for the people that…
