The House of Representatives passed a bill that would allow the treasury secretary to strip non-profit organizations of their tax-exempt status by recognizing them as supporters of terrorism . On Thursday, the House passed the Stop Terror-Financing and Tax Penalties on American Hostages Act, or H.R. 9495. The bill was passed by a vote of 219-184 mostly along party lines. The bill contains a provision allowing the treasury secretary, an appointee of the President, to label a non-profit organization as a "terrorist supporting organization". This label can be designated if it is determined that any organization provided support or resources to a terror group. The secretary would then be able to revoke an organization's tax-exempt status for however long the designation lasts, which is also up to the secretary, reported USA Today . According to, Kia Hamadanchy, senior policy counsel at ACLU, this allows for authority that is "ripe for abuse". The bill also contains a suggested amendment to the Internal Revenue Code in which Americans who are being unjustly detained abroad may have their tax deadlines postponed and may reimburse late fees. Supporters of the bill, including 15 House Democrats who voted with the majority of Republican representatives in its favor, believe that it allows for the government's stance against terrorism to be reinforced. "The financing of terrorism and extremism should not have preferential treatment under the U.S. tax code. I think this should be a no-brainer," Rep. David Kustoff said on the House floor Thursday. The American Civil Liberties Union, NAACP, Greenpeace USA and Planned Parenthood formed a coalition opposing the bill. In a letter sent to representatives, the coalition stated that the bill "creates a high risk of politicized and discriminatory enforcement." "The potential for abuse under H.R. 6408 is immense as the executive branch would be handed a tool it could use to curb free speech, censor nonprofit media outlets, target political opponents, and punish disfavored groups across the political spectrum," the letter read. The bill is yet to be voted on by the Senate. Originally published by Latin Times.

M’rashtra polls: Mahayuti, MVA optimistic of victory

It may lack the ambition and grandeur of many historic vessel names, but the K-GTB is going to help South Korea push its green technology and digital prowess to the next level. K-GTB — Korea-Green Ship Testbed — has been built for the Korea Research Institute of Ships & Ocean Engineering (KRISO). It is a dedicated vessel that throughout its life will have new technologies, new systems and new ideas installed and put through sea trials. Some of the first trials during 2025 will be in the use of new fuels and electric-hybrid propulsion. But it is also going to be used to evolve autonomous vessel systems. One trial will include a prototype decision support system for incident responses when deploying unmanned or autonomous ships. The vessel has been funded by the Korean Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries, which announced the intention to build the vessel in 2022. From early 2025 the vessel will operate from the South Korean port of Mokpo and will “facilitate domestic verification of eco-friendly fuel technology, safeguarding Korean innovations from overseas leakage and generating import-substitution effects by eliminating overseas testing,” KRISO said. Despite the focus on retaining national competence and technology know-how, the institute will still be looking to collaborate internationally. Hee-Jin Kang, KRISO’s head of eco-friendly ocean development research division, said: “K-GTB was designed to address the immediate needs of Korea’s shipping and shipbuilding industries. “In response to industry demand, we plan to actively pursue international cooperation and technology standardisation to expand into the global market.” K-GTB is 82.6 metres in length, weighs 2,600 gt but is packed with technology as it is used to certify fuels, batteries and fuel cells. It has been built with a load-sharing arrangement to ensure that the vessel maintains operational performance while new systems and technologies are being tested.

Michail Antonio car crash history Antonio apologised to a family in Balham after crashing a Lamborghini into their front garden on Christmas Day in 2019. He was dressed as a snowman and spoke about the incident four years later on the On The Judy podcast. "This conversation is very like... (touches chest). Still to this day, it’s hurt me. Slippery road. Obviously, in the car, it holds corners nicely in it so I’m going like 30, maybe 35, on a 30 road,” Antonio said. “I’m thinking I don’t even need to brake, I’m just gonna go around the corner, sick car. As I’m going round the corner, it skids. So I s*** myself and I slam on the brakes. "Worst thing you can do on ice, yeah, slam on the brakes cause you just speed up. Slam on the brakes, just skid but I’ve just gone up the curb. I don’t even remember it and then I’m seeing smoke coming out the front of the car. "The engine's in the back so I’m thinking the car’s gonna blow up even though it’s the airbags. Having to jump out of the passenger side, the tiny car."

Lil Wayne, GloRilla, Camila Cabello to perform at College Football National ChampionshipFollowing the highly-anticipated release of "Beast Games," a consumer advocate is expressing concern about the show's partnership with a financial tech company. The first two episodes of "Beast Games," hosted by YouTube creator James "Jimmy" Donaldson, more popularly known as MrBeast, premiered on Prime Video on Thursday. Per the show's description , 1,000 contestants fight through 10 episodes in physical and mental challenges for prizes that include $5 million, a private island and Lamborghinis. But following the premiere, a consumer advocate said the show's partnership with financial tech company MoneyLion could be worrisome, especially when it comes to MrBeast's younger demographic. Additionally, ahead of its release, "Beast Games" made headlines after five contestants sued Donaldson and Amazon for workplace abuse. Concerns grow about fintech partnership In the second episode of "Beast Games," viewers are encouraged to scan a QR code to learn more about a $4.2 million sweepstakes through MoneyLion . To enter, viewers must create a free MoneyLion account, but no purchase, payment or deposit is required to participate or win, according to the sweepstakes' rules. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. Though sweepstakes participants aren't required to take any financial actions through MoneyLion, the financial technology company does promote its services, which include personal loans, instant cash, financial tracking and credit builders. Lauren Saunders, associate director of the National Consumer Law Center, said companies like MoneyLion are a "new breed" of fintech payday loan companies. A payday loan is a short-term, high-interest loan that is typically due on the borrower's next payday. "We see a lot of these predatory lenders that offer loans that can be the equivalent of 300% APR, but they wrap themselves in all sort of sugarcoating," Saunders said of MoneyLion. "Offering the sweepstakes and something like that to get the excitement of young people is just a way of drawing people into debt-trap loans that increase overdraft fees and put them behind in their financial goals." According to Parrot Analytics , 46% of MrBeast's audience is made up of viewers between 13-22 years old. Saunders said she finds it "really destressing" that fintech companies like MoneyLion are using "attractive" apps to lure in young people. "They can make a lot of money from vulnerable people," she said. In a statement shared with USA TODAY, a MoneyLion spokesperson clarified that the sweepstakes is only for adults 18 and up. "MoneyLion’s mission is to give everyone the power to make their best financial decisions and achieve better outcomes," the spokesperson said. "We remain focused on ensuring that our products and services terms are accessible, fair, and designed to create the best outcomes for our customers." What is the 'Beast Games' lawsuit about? In September, five "Beast Games" contestants filed a class action lawsuit against MrBeast and Amazon for workplace abuse, citing denial of pay, unsafe conditions and "a culture of misogyny and sexism." More: YouTuber MrBeast, Amazon sued by reality show contestants alleging abuse, harassment The lawsuit addresses the workplace created during "episode zero" of "Beast Games" earlier this year. The episode, featured on MrBeast's YouTube channel and not a part of the official Amazon series, features 2,000 contestants fighting for the $5 million prize inside Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was from this video that the final 1,000 contestants were selected for the Amazon series, which was filmed in Toronto, Canada. According to the lawsuit, contestants were deprived of food, sleep and proper medical care. The lawsuit claims that multiple contestants suffered physical injuries or were hospitalized during production. The lawsuit also alleges that women were subject to "severe embarrassment" on set and the production did not complete thorough background checks. The lawsuit also claims "Beast Games" contestants were required to enter "illegal contracts" that misclassified them as volunteers in order for the show to qualify for tax breaks while filming in Las Vegas. Amazon denied comment and MrBeast's team did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the lawsuit when contacted Thursday and Friday by USA TODAY. How to watch 'Beast Games' "Beast Games" is only available for streaming on Prime Video. The first two episodes were released Thursday and a new episode will be released every Thursday at noon EST through Feb. 13. The series features 10 total episodes, each about 40 minutes long. Who is MrBeast? Donaldson, 26, is a YouTube content creator with more than 337 million YouTube subscribers, making his channel the most-subscribed on the platform. He is known for videos that feature larger-than-life competitions and pricy giveaways. Donaldson's most viewed video , as of Friday, was a take on the Netflix series "Squid Games." In the video, Donaldson pits 456 contestants against each other for a $456,000 prize. Unlike the Netflix series though, no one actually dies. As of Friday, the video had more than 678 million views.
