The Trump family pocketed at least $100 million from India’s richest dynasty, the Ambanis, through a secret stake in an obscure Texas refinery startup. A pattern also seen with another billionaire, Gautam Adani, reveals a consistent U.S. strategy: first, threaten tariffs, sanctions, or prosecution; then, after money flows from Indian billionaires toward the U.S., make the legal and trade problems disappear. In exchange for the Indian investment in the Texas refinery startup, the White House delivered a string of major policy wins for the Indian energy conglomerate, including a Venezuelan oil license, according to a ProPublica investigation published Tuesday. NEW: Earlier this year, an obscure startup in Texas announced that it had received at least $100 mil from one of the richest men in Asia. We dug into the backstory. We discovered a saga involving Donald Trump Jr., Russian oil, and an Indian billionaire family’s private zoo. pic.twitter.com/wqusoBA0e5 — Josh Kaplan (@js_kaplan) June 9, 2026 According to the article, these policy wins were a trade deal that slashed tariffs on Indian goods from 50% to 18%, a license for Reliance to buy sanctioned Venezuelan oil, and an early waiver for India to buy Russian crude after the Iran war began (a waiver later expanded to all countries). The ProPublica article implied that hawks like Peter Navarro had to be sidelined or overruled once the Ambani money flowed in. Before the investment, Navarro publicly attacked “India’s politically connected energy titans” for “funding Putin’s war machine” — a clear jab at the Ambanis, who own refineries in India. The White House denied any conflicts of interest, and Reliance said there was “no connection” between the investment and these outcomes. Timeline of events According to the article, in August 2025, the U.S. doubled tariffs on India to 50% to force India to stop buying Russian oil. The The US had said India’s imports of Russian oil undermined US efforts to counter Russia’s activities in Ukraine. Then in November 2025, Donald Trump Jr. visited India, where he toured the Ambanis’ private zoo with Anant Ambani. Then, in February 2026, the U.S. struck a trade deal with India, slashing tariffs from 50% to 18%. That same month, the U.S. also reportedly gave Reliance a license to buy sanctioned Venezuelan oil. In March 2026, America First Refining announced it had received at least $100 million from Reliance. Trump Jr. had secretly acquired a stake in the start-up. After the US attacked Iran, India received an early waiver to buy Russian crude, a waiver later expanded to all countries. “Bizarre” flow of money One could ask why a developing country like India is sending money to the United States instead of the other way around. Last month, the Financial Times posed exactly that question, noting that India has “committed” to purchasing $500 billion worth of American goods over five years during Rubio’s visit to India. The FT called the arrangement “bizarre,” noting that negative net foreign direct investment, more money leaving India than entering, is already weakening the rupee. India’s bizarre $500bn ‘commitment’ in trade deal with US https://t.co/Ev0ouYcrAc — FT World News (@ftworldnews) May 26, 2026 The FT said it would be “foolish” for Modi to accept a trade deal currently being negotiated that is not favourable to India. It said: The Modi government has been on the defensive about a trade deal with Washington since Trump came into office. The expectation in New Delhi was that India would be among the first to secure one, but things soured, and India ended up among the most heavily tariffed countries. There has been considerable pressure on the commerce ministry to deliver a deal. But the fundamentals have changed. And it would be foolish for India to sign an agreement that appears to take far more than it gives. A final trade deal still hasn’t been signed. Talks were supposed to wrap up in March, but then the U.S. Supreme Court ruled many of Trump’s tariffs illegal, throwing everything into chaos. Now, even as negotiators meet, the U.S. is proposing new tariffs on India, including an extra 12.5% on Indian exports over forced labour concerns. Trump said last week he’s confident a deal will get done soon because he likes Modi. Trump confident of India trade deal despite new tariff threat https://t.co/BYAHz4z4sZ — BBC News (World) (@BBCWorld) June 5, 2026 Trump — Identical playbook with Adani The Justice Department, in November 2024, had charged Adani with paying $265 million in bribes to Indian officials. The Treasury Department was investigating alleged Iran sanctions violations. Then, in April 2026, Adani’s attorney, who also happens to be a personal attorney for President Trump, said his client wanted to invest $10 billion in the United States but could not do so while the cases proceeded. The Trump administration on Monday moved to dismiss criminal fraud charges against Indian billionaire Gautam Adani, while also settling alleged Iran sanctions violations involving one of his companies. https://t.co/TVIVTmsKxR — Reuters Legal (@ReutersLegal) May 18, 2026 Soon, the Trump administration moved to dismiss the criminal fraud charges. The Treasury settled the sanctions case for $275 million, a fraction of the $10 billion investment promise. The SEC also settled its civil case. In both instances, a confrontation with the Trump administration — over Russian oil, over Iranian oil, over bribery allegations — was resolved after dollars flowed toward the United States from India. What is clear is the pattern by the US — pressure, payment, pardon, and repeat. Featured image via Carl Court/Getty Images By The Canary From Canary via This RSS Feed.

Hollywood actor Gwyneth Paltrow has become the face of a luxury real estate development in Israel, defying a global boycott movement against the country in response to its genocide in Gaza. Paltrow drew fierce criticism on Wednesday after appearing in an ad for 51 Park, a 51-storey development in the coastal city of Herzliya, just north of Tel Aviv, where units reportedly sell for up to $10m (£7.4m). The ad campaign was commissioned by luxury developer Aviv by Melisron and created by the Israeli agency Why Worry. “Imagine advertising luxury villas in Nazi Germany during the Holocaust,” user Ounka wrote on X. “That’s the level of tone-deaf we’re witnessing.” In the one-minute ad, filmed in New York, Paltrow wakes up in a swanky apartment and complains in a voice-over: “Who decided mornings should be so early? Even my coffee needs a coffee.” She then goes jogging in Central Park and says, “Waking up for a morning run can be brutal, but it’s a price I’m willing to pay. Because once I hit the park, pure energy takes over.” Later, she says to camera: “There’s a reason why the world’s most iconic buildings are by a park,” as she walks to a car and asks to be taken to 51 Park. When the driver asks if she means in New York, she replies: “No. Herzliya, Israel.” From Novara Media via This RSS Feed.

Researchers have used a biopolymer to encapsulate and extend the storage life and release rate of a bioinsecticidal fungus. The study is published in ACS Omega. The goal is to extend the shelf life of Beauveria bassiana, a fungus widely used as a bioinsecticide on various agricultural crops. Encapsulation is also a more sustainable alternative because it requires fewer applications and has less potential to affect nontarget species.

I hope they didn’t blow their entire load in the first half. Too many times they have a good lead only to have their opponent close the gap in the second. Especially with this Knicks team who can shoot lights out and did what they did to the Cavs in the ECF.

New roof, kitchen renovation + new flooring/paint/trim throughout the house. Raised beds built and in use. Vermin proofed half the block to ward off woodchucks.

I want my jailbroken iPhone 6 back. That thing was sick. Simpler, yet more customizable than iOS currently is. And I realize everyone probably has a “things were better back then, shakes fist” opinion, but I have reason to believe my exact setup would blow kids’ minds, transported forward in time. …Other than the camera. For sure. I’d give kids a mirrorless camera to go with it, and it’d still be cheaper than a modern top end iPhone.

So I’m in bath and notice that prior to HRT, when laying sideways, my hips would fully be under water. But now they don’t. I started it only 1 year and 2 mo ago (hips probably sadly fused already since I’m 28). And now part of hip is above water… Yay! But also, dangit. The bath’s filled to the brim and I love being fully submerged from neck down :(

Congresswoman McBride // House.gov Erin In The Morning is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a subscriber. Yesterday, Congresswoman Nancy Mace, one of the most prominent anti-trans voices in Congress, ran for the Republican nomination for governor of South Carolina—and finished in fifth place. Mace staked her political career on anti-trans activism, pushing amendment after amendment targeting transgender people during her tenure and most infamously championing the ban on Congresswoman Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender member of Congress, from using women’s restrooms in the Capitol. Now, in what trans communities online were quick to note as a familiar number—anti-trans activist and swimmer Riley Gaines also famously tied for fifth place with Lia Thomas—Mace’s political career is effectively over. She gave up her congressional seat to run for governor and cannot return. As a result, at the Equality PAC’s National Pride Gala last night, McBride took the stage as the results rolled in, referred to Mace as “Congress’s top bathroom sheriff,” noted that she was in “a respectful fifth place,” and wishing Mace a “Happy Pride.” “Today is a big day because today is the South Carolina Republican gubernatorial primary,” started McBride, continuing, "And for those of you who aren’t aware, my colleague—and Congress’s top bathroom sheriff—Nancy Mace, is on the ballot. And while not all of the votes have been counted yet, she is in a respectful fifth place. I don’t like punching down, and I believe in the politics of grace. So all I will say is: Happy Pride, Nancy,” to which she received a standing ovation. See the video here, curtesy of Advocate reporter Christopher Wiggins: The loss is significant. Mace was not merely anti-trans—she made targeting transgender people the defining project of her congressional career. She championed the ban on McBride and all transgender people from using restrooms in the Capitol, then escalated with a sweeping federal bathroom ban bill that would have applied to every federal building in the country, including major airports like Dulles and Reagan—that bill did not pass. She called trans protesters a slur while wandering the halls of the Senate with a bullhorn, having confused which building the protesters were in. She and Lauren Boebert confronted a woman in a Capitol bathroom they suspected was transgender—she was cisgender. Her entire webpage is filled with anti-trans activism and bills targeting transgender people. Now, her political career is over—at least for now. Mace made a calculated gambit to trade her congressional seat for the governor’s mansion, declining to file for reelection in SC-01. But despite spending two years remolding herself into one of Trump’s most visible culture warriors, Trump endorsed Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette instead. Without his backing, Mace finished fifth with 12%, not winning a single county in the state—including Charleston, which is her home county. She cannot return to her House seat: the filing deadline has passed. When her term ends in January 2027, Nancy Mace will hold no office. The woman who gave up a safe House seat to chase a promotion on the strength of an anti-trans brand she invented in 2024 will leave Washington with nothing to show for it. It is notable that the winners of the Republican primary are not much better on transgender issues—and one may be worse. Alan Wilson, who finished second and will advance to a June 23 runoff against Trump-backed Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, was a leading state official in the landmark Supreme Court case in support of Tennessee’s gender-affirming care ban in United States v. Skrmetti, calling the ruling “a win for sanity and for the safety of our kids.” He also told the city of Columbia to overturn its conversion therapy ban. Evette, for her part, celebrated the Skrmetti decision as well, writing “Amen! Protecting our kids and America’s future generations is a non-negotiable.” Neither candidate, however, made anti-trans activism the theatrical centerpiece of their campaign the way Mace did. Mace built her entire political identity around targeting transgender people, gave up a safe congressional seat to ride that brand to the governor’s mansion, and it got her fifth place. As for McBride, she and countless transgender people have endured two years of Nancy Mace’s cruelty. Now, at least, trans staffers, journalists, and the nation’s first transgender congresswoman will no longer have to see Mace in the halls of the Capitol after her term ends in January 2027. And if Democrats retake the House in November, the bathroom restrictions Mace forced into place—her sole lasting act of spite—will likely be among the first things to go.

In the aftermath of the floods, many NSW homes were significantly damaged and still lay in the path of future floods. In response, the NSW government introduced a buyback scheme for eligible homes in flood-prone areas. Part of this program involved demolishing homes, with the materials discarded in landfill or used for low-value recycling, such as woodchipping and burning. Yet the homes contained valuable materials, such as hardwood timbers. Losing these homes was traumatic for the local community and an unnecessary loss of valuable resources. So the NSW Reconstruction Authority, Living Lab Northern Rivers, and the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) explored how to recover a material that is extremely difficult to source today—old-growth timber. link to report https://llnr.cdn.prismic.io/llnr/aigBHQeQX7-eXCXA_LLNR_CircularTimberResearchReport_DIGITAL.pdf
