The future of the USA
Images and information about slavery are being forced to be removed
The Trump administration is ordering that images and information about slavery in the US be removed from several national parks, the Washington Post reports, citing sources.
The decision was made in response to Trump's presidential order to get rid of information that reflects a "harmful ideology" that devalues historical Americans. The directives have been interpreted "broadly" and at the US National Park Service it is being adapted to everything related to racism, sexism, slavery and LGBTQ rights, writes WP.
Employees at the various agencies of the Department of the Interior have also been urged to report anything that goes against the president's order.

Trump Sues New York Times for $15 Billion
US President Donald Trump is suing the New York Times for $15 billion, equivalent to 140 billion kronor, for libel and defamation, he writes on Truth Social.
In his post, Trump calls the newspaper "one of the worst and most degenerate newspapers in the history of our country". He claims that it has become a mouthpiece for the Democrats, complains that the newspaper supported Kamala Harris in the presidential election and accuses the newspaper of having lied about him and his family.
"The New York Times has been allowed to lie, smear and slander me for far too long. Now it's over."
The newspaper has not commented on the lawsuit.

Trump: Has killed "narco terrorists" from Venezuela
The US military has attacked a boat that is alleged to have transported drugs from Venezuela to the US, President Donald Trump said on his Truth Social platform.
"You are warned - if you transport drugs that kill Americans, we will hunt you down," Trump wrote.
According to him, three people were killed in the attack. All three were "narco terrorists," he wrote.
In a video that is also shared in the post, the boat is seen seemingly lying still on the sea before being shaken by a powerful explosion.
This is the second time in a short time that the US has attacked a ship from Venezuela that is alleged to be transporting drugs. According to Trump, both attacks took place in international waters.
Criminal policy
Trump sends the National Guard to Memphis
Donald Trump has ordered the National Guard to Memphis, Tennessee, to put an end to an alleged crime wave in the city. The president himself describes the operation as a copy of a similar operation in Washington, DC earlier this year.
– It is very important because of all the crime that is going on, Trump said during a press conference on Monday evening, Swedish time.
Critics say that the action undermines the autonomy of the states and leads the United States in an authoritarian direction.
According to the AP, the Memphis police state that the crime rate in the city is the lowest in 25 years.
– I did not ask for the National Guard, and I do not think that is the right way to reduce crime, says Memphis Democratic Mayor Paul Young, according to the news agency.
