    Telegram Founder's Terrorism Label Affects Personal Finances, Not Messenger

    The Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) has accused Telegram founder Pavel Durov of aiding terrorism, leading to his inclusion in the register of terrorists and extremists by Rosfinmonitoring. This move primarily impacts Durov's personal finances and property, rather than automatically banning or deeming Telegram an extremist resource. Payments for Telegram services like subscriptions and gifts are not considered financing terrorism. However, transferring money directly to Durov may now be seen as such. Telegram users can continue using the messenger, but should be cautious about money transfers.

    ICE Bans Jeans, T-Shirts for Deportation Officers

    Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has updated its dress code for deportation officers, prohibiting jeans and T-shirts while working in public. The new guidelines aim to make officers more identifiable but have sparked concerns about officer safety. The change, effective July 17, requires officers to wear 'ICE identifiable attire,' including khaki or coyote brown tactical pants with an ICE polo. T-shirts, athletic wear, and revealing clothing are now banned. However, some ICE employees and senior Trump administration officials have criticized the move, arguing it could put officers at risk and is a misplaced priority given other pressing issues.

Fauci received a preemptive pardon from President Biden, but Republicans argue he still has to answer questions. The hearing came after the release of Fauci's personal diary, which some senators used to question him.
