Nebraska Electoral Vote System Under Fire: Trump and Allies Push for Change
Pressure Mounts for Electoral College Vote Change in Nebraska
Source: CNN
Former President Donald Trump and his supporters are intensifying efforts to urge Nebraska lawmakers to revise the state’s method of allocating electoral college votes. This move highlights the significance of the upcoming election rematch with President Joe Biden and the potential tight race for the crucial 270 electoral votes.
The proposed adjustment aims to shift Nebraska to a winner-takes-all system for electoral votes, departing from the current practice of dividing votes between statewide winners and winners of congressional districts. Initially, the proposal lacked momentum until influential Republicans pushed for its consideration, drawing national attention to the issue.
Leading the charge, conservative activist Charlie Kirk initiated the campaign, prompting Nebraska Republicans to take action. Subsequently, Republican Governor Jim Pillen, who had not prioritized this change previously, expressed his support for the proposed alteration.
Trump also voiced his endorsement of the shift on Truth Social, emphasizing the importance of returning Nebraska’s Electoral Votes to a Winner-Take-All System. The sudden surge in advocacy for this change by Trump’s allies has brought the issue to the forefront, despite minimal prior discussion during the current legislative session.
The unexpected push, catching Nebraska Republicans by surprise, occurs just two weeks before the scheduled conclusion of the state legislative sessi

100 years of Swiss youth hostels at the Berthoud Museum
The Swiss National Museum traces the history of Anne Frank’s family and its ties to Switzerland. The exhibition presents the daily life of the Jewish family in Frankfurt and then in Amsterdam, but also the life of his aunt and her grandmothers, who took refuge in Basel.
“The ‘Diary of Anne Frank’ constitutes the underlying theme of the entire exhibition”, explains curator Nicole Staremberg. In this story the young woman recounts the 735 days she spent in a hideout in Amsterdam to escape the persecution of the Nazis. But the illegal immigrants were discovered and deported in August 1944. Only her father, Otto, returned from the Auschwitz extermination camp.
The history of the Frank family bears witness to the fate of many Jewish families during the Second World War, recalls the curator. The exhibition recounts the happy years in Frankfurt, where the family was well integrated, then the emigration and escape, a

Arsenal surpassed Liverpool to occupy first place with 68 points with a 2-0 victory over Luton Town. City occupies third place, equal with 67 points with Liverpool, which can return to the top if it wins over its guest Sheffield United on Thursday.
City controlled the ball from the start of the match and took the lead in the 11th minute when Rodri scored after a cross from Jeremy Doku.
But Villa silenced the home fans when 20-year-old John Doran fired the ball into the far corner after a brilliant exchange with Morgan Rogers in the 20th minute.
With City’s top league scorer Erling Haaland on as an uncapped substitute, Foden got to work and found a hole in Villa’s defense with a stunning free kick just before halftime.

revealed how cryptocurrencies feed the Kremlin’s arms industry
Smuggler Andrei Zverev 2022 received an order from the largest Russian military company Kalashnikov Concern. It needed electronics for drones, which were among the most effective weapons against Ukrainian armored vehicles. After receiving the order, the man handed it over to a Hong Kong electronics distributor.
In turn, the United States tried to stop such transactions, and even sanctions-defying Chinese banks blocked payments from Russia.
However, A. Zverev found a solution to this problem. He used the cryptocurrency Tether to transfer millions of dollars to this electronics supplier. A few months later, when describing the deal to the group, Russian A. Zverev offered the same service.
“We will deliver everything you need to exterminate each other,” he wrote in a Telegram group. The smuggler indicated cryptocurrency as a method of payment.
Tether has become one of the world’s presumptive black market payment methods. Unlike money in the banking system, authorities have limited ability to track the use of this cryptocurrency around the world, according to The Wall Street Journal.
This crypto-currency is used very often in trade – every day, as much as 120 billion transactions are made with its help. dollars, which is often about double that of Bitcoin. in 2023 the amount of transactions exceeded 10 trillion US dollars – this amount is not significantly different from the transactions processed by the payment giant Visa during the last financial year.
Tether has become an indispensable tool for Vladimir Putin’s war machine. It helps Russian companies circumvent Western sanctions and buy so-called dual-use goods that are used in drones and other high-tech equipment. Individuals and companies using this technique make transfers in rubles to Russian bank accounts managed by intermediaries who convert the rubles into Tether and pay out the cryptocurrency to their foreign suppliers in places like China and the Middle East.
The US Treasury Department has been pushing Congress to pass legislation that would allow it to block transactions in dollar-denominated cryptocurrencies like Tether. Last week, the department blacklisted a Moscow company that worked with a sanctioned Russian bank to make cryptocurrency-based payments.
“Russia is increasingly turning to alternative payment mechanisms to circumvent US sanctions and continue to finance its war against Ukraine,” Brian Nelson, the US Treasury’s Under Secretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, explained in a statement.
The private company responsible for this cryptocurrency, Tether Holdings, is owned by a small group of individuals. It distributes Tether in exchange for dollars it has invested in US Treasuries. Customers trade Tether on virtual public ledgers called blockchains or through private exchanges, sometimes to buy other cryptocurrencies or, as in the case of Russia, to pay for goods and services.
Tether Holdings did not respond to questions from The Wall Street Journal. In December last year, the company said it had launched a voluntary policy to freeze digital wallets used for Tether cryptocurrency transfers and related to sanctioned entities. Tether later said in a lette
