The report, titled An Interconnected Criminal Ecosystem: Transnational Organized Crime Threat Assessment for Southeast Asia 2026, warned that numerous smaller gangs have “merged into a single transnational, tech-driven criminal economy sophisticated enough to outpace conventional law enforcement and threaten governance, economic stability, and development in the region and beyond.” “What we are…

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are formally backing Muslim Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) in her reelection race. While the rise of socialist candidates has taken the Democrat Party’s establishment aback, the reality is DSA-backed candidates are already serving in Congress. Tlaib, who received a warm endorsement from DSA this week, is one example. “Unbought and unbossed,” DSA said, sharing an image of Tlaib. “DSA is proud to endorse @RashidaTlaib for Congress. For years Rashida has been a strong voice in the halls of the Capitol, unapologetically standing up for the working class everywhere.” “Fighting for affordable housing, for clean…
