Things are hot in America this summer. And they're only getting hotter. The VA is cutting 30,000 jobs, Trump is threatening to bomb Moscow and Beijing, Hegseth is doing Hegseth things at the Pentagon, and New York City is hovering around one hundred degrees while a socialist is leading in the polls for Mayor. Shit is toasty and it's only gonna get hotter. And your host Paul Rieckhoff is here to tear into all of it with a cool head and light to contrast the heat of the mayhem, spin and partisanship. And as the mayor's race in New York continues to heat up and show how broken America's politics and two parties are, there's some news for 2026 that is a contrast to the crazy. Independent vet Dan Osborn has announced he's again running for US Senate in Nebraska—and after a historic showing as an independent last year, he's hitting the ground running. That now makes three independent vet candidates for Senate running next year. You've already heard from Brian Bengs in Episode 334 and we're pretty sure you'll be hearing from Dan in short order. But today we've got the third candidate, and he's one that might just make the most noise. Because he left the Democratic Party and announced his run as an independent just before July 4th. He's more evidence of the move away from the parties and towards the independent movement. He's Todd Achilles, independent veteran candidate for Senate from the great state of Idaho. He grew up on a family farm, served in the U.S. Army as a tank commander and armor officer and led teams at T-Mobile, Hewlett-Packard, and several start-ups. He's now a teacher and advocate for veterans and is running to fight for fair markets and livable wages for all Idahoans. And he's a moderate, common-sense, patriotic, strong breath of fresh air. It's the kind of campaign we love to see and the kind of candidate we love to share with you—the real independent Americans. Things are heating up in the independent movement from the push for open primaries to the wave of new candidates. And a lot of it is thanks to the listeners of this show. So let's keep it going with another installment of our groundbreaking and unique “Meet The Independents” series. Welcome to Independent Americans, Episode 342. Every episode of Independent Americans is independent light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. It's content for the 49% of Americans that call themselves independent. Always with a unique focus on national security, foreign affairs and military and vets issues. This is another pod to help you stay vigilant. Because vigilance is the price of democracy. In these trying times especially, Independent Americans is your trusted place for independent news, politics and inspiration. -Get extra content, connect with guests, events, merch discounts and support this show that speaks truth to power by joining us on Patreon. -WATCH video of Paul and Todd's conversation. -NEW!

RUSSIA: SANCTIONS EASING? MICHAEL BERNSTAM, HOOVER INSTITUTION 1934 MOSCOW
On today's podcast: 1) Part of the equity optimism comes on signs the US will avert a government shutdown. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer opted not to block the Republican bill, avoiding a government shutdown. 2) The US quietly tightens sanctions on Russia as it seeks a ceasefire deal. The Trump administration let a license covering payments for energy to a handful of Russian banks expire, making it difficult for foreign oil refineries, traders, and buyers of Russian gas to pay Russia in dollars or other Western currencies. 3) President Trump's trade war continues to impact global markets. Companies worldwide are planning for the worst as President Trump's tariffs create uncertainty, with some setting up "tariff task forces" to mitigate the impact on sales, profits, and market shares.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

THEME – AI Destroying Relationships; Joint Session of Congress; Tweet to Hamas; Russia Sanctions_ by Barak Lurie
President Donald Trump's new tariffs on imports from Mexico, Canada and China have taken effect, launching new trade conflicts with the top three U.S. trading partners. The White House has paused military aid to Ukraine, deepening the fissure that has opened between the two countries after Friday's aborted talks. The U.S. is drawing up a plan to potentially give Russia sanctions relief as Trump seeks to restore ties with Moscow and stop the war in Ukraine. And Arab leaders meet in Cairo to discuss a plan for Gaza that would sideline Hamas and create interim bodies run by Arab, Muslim and Western states. Find our recommended read here.

How do sanctioned Russian oligarchs continue to move their wealth despite international restrictions? The answer lies in real estate, shell companies, and complicit gatekeepers. In this episode of Corruption, Crime, and Compliance, Michael Volkov dives into one of the latest OFAC enforcement actions against Family International and its owner, Roman Sinyavsky, for facilitating sanctions evasion on behalf of Russian oligarchs. Through complex real estate transactions, Sinyavsky helped conceal luxury properties owned by Valeri Abramov and Viktor Perevalov, allowing them to continue generating revenue despite U.S. sanctions. This case highlights the growing risk of financial crime in the real estate sector and the increasing scrutiny on those who enable it.You'll hear him discuss:The $1.07 million OFAC settlement and the criminal charges against Roman Sinyavsky for sanctions evasion and money launderingHow sanctioned Russian oligarchs used non-sanctioned family members and shell companies to obscure their ownership of U.S. propertiesThe key role of real estate professionals, lawyers, and financial advisors in facilitating these schemes and why they should have raised red flagsThe use of text messages as critical evidence proving intent and knowledge of sanctions violationsThe specific techniques used to transfer property ownership and avoid detection by authoritiesThe increasing enforcement focus on commercial and residential real estate transactions as a high-risk area for financial crimePredictions for 2024, including tighter sanctions enforcement on Russia and Iran and what it means for businesses and compliance professionalsResourcesMichael Volkov on LinkedIn | TwitterThe Volkov Law Group

#RUSSIA: Sanctions beating uranium ore via China. Andrea Stricker, FDD 1900 Boxers
The British government is investigating 37 UK-linked businesses for potentially breaking Russian oil sanctions. The sanctions were introduced when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, but critics have claimed they're ineffective with latest figures showing Russia's economy is growing. It's thought a lot of the affected businesses under investigation are maritime insurance firms, which are potentially enabling Russia to exploit a loophole in the sanctions if proven to be true. Elsewhere, the Portuguese government is looking to slash taxes for people aged under 35 to encourage people to stay and emigrate to the country, and Princess Catherine has made her first official public engagement since finishing chemotherapy in Southport.
