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.
The United States welcomed a meeting last week between Jorge Rodriguez as President of the Venezuela National Assembly (AN) of 2026 and representative of the Venezuelan Interim Government, and 2015 Venezuelan National Assembly President Dinorah Figuera to discuss an agenda that will serve as the roadmap for a political dialogue on a democratic transition.
The U.S. understands that this agenda includes key priorities such as rebuilding Venezuela’s democratic institutions, reestablishing durable guarantees for political participation, and securing essential civic freedoms for open political discourse.
The share of Oklahomans enrolled in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, better known as “food stamps”) has often exceeded the share of Oklahomans living in poverty in recent years, at times by a sizable amount, leading to concerns that fraud may be a growing problem.
But in the last year Oklahoma has begun aggressively paring down those numbers.
