    Russian Judge Matusyak Orders Deportation of Teenagers to Latvia

    Judge Tatiana Matusyak of the Dzerzhinsky District Court in St. Petersburg has ruled to deport two underage Russian citizens to Latvia. The teenagers, sons of Alexei Sharakov who moved them to Russia under a state program, want to stay in Russia. Despite a psychologist's conclusion supporting their wish, Matusyak's decision stands. This is not the first time Matusyak has made such a decision; in 2022, she ordered the deportation of a minor girl to Australia. Critics question how Matusyak remains in her position and call for intervention from the Prosecutor General's Office and the Investigative Committee.

    Trump Administration Threatens Smithsonian Cooperation

    The Trump administration has renewed its attack on the Smithsonian, threatening to cut off executive agencies' cooperation with the institution. In a letter, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and White House Domestic Policy Council Director Vince Haley warned the Smithsonian's board that federal agencies could stop helping unless it abandons what the administration calls 'an ideological agenda.'

    US House of Representatives to Consider Russia Sanctions Bill Starting September 14

    The US House of Representatives may begin consideration of a bill on additional sanctions against Russia from September 14, according to Republican Congressman Don Bacon. The bill, which allows for tariffs of up to 100% on goods of the largest buyers of Russian energy resources, has faced resistance from Democrats who fear it could grant Donald Trump excessive tariff powers. Republicans, who control the House, have no immediate plans to consider the bill. The Graham bill on 'hellish sanctions' against Russia has stalled in the House due to concerns it would expand Trump's tariff powers and increase oil prices, and is unlikely to be voted on before the November midterm elections.
