Trump Admin Sued By Families of Boat Strike Victims | The Libertarian Institute > The families of two men who were killed by a US strike on their boat in the Caribbean Sea have used the White House to demand justice for the wrongful deaths of their loved ones. > The lawsuit alleges that Chad Joseph and Rishi Samaroo, who were killed by a US bomb on October 14, were fishermen. The families are claiming standing for the lawsuit under the High Seas Act and the Alien Tort Statute. > The ACLU is part of the legal team representing the families
Fearing US Reprisals, Mexico Halts Oil Shipment to Cuba | Libertarian Institute By Will Porter > Mexico’s state oil company, Pemex, has backed out of a planned oil shipment to Cuba, the country’s president appeared to confirm. The move comes after President Donald Trump insisted that “zero” oil would be sent to the island, and follows reports that Washington plans regime change there by the end of the year. > Speaking during her daily press conference on Tuesday, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum did not deny earlier reports about the canceled Pemex shipment, which was originally scheduled for sometime in January. > “It is a sovereign decision, and it is made at the time deemed necessary,” she said when asked about the reports, stressing that such shipments are determined by the state oil firm.
Dedollarization? It's More Like "De-fiatization" https://mises.org/mises-wire/dedollarization-its-more-de-fiatization By Daniel Lacalle > Investors are not abandoning dollars so much as they are abandoning fiat currency in favor of gold. Gold is rising as a share of reserves, but euros and yen are not.
Latest Federal Killing in Minnesota Echoes Ruby Ridge https://mises.org/mises-wire/latest-federal-killing-minnesota-echoes-ruby-ridge By James Bovard > The latest killing of a protester in Minneapolis by federal agents is reminiscent of the shooting of Vickie Weaver by a government sniper in 1992. In both cases, the government has refused to acknowledge wrongdoing and has engaged in legal coverups.
Republicans and MAGA: Carrying a Gun Is a Bad Thing Now https://mises.org/power-market/republicans-and-maga-carrying-gun-bad-thing-now ![](https://m.stacker.news/127741) By Ryan McMaken > In 2026, conservatives cheer the masking of police in a way that would have been viewed as shockingly sinister, illegal, and downright creepy by Americans of earlier generations.
Norms, Emergencies, and the Administrative State https://mises.org/mises-wire/failure-constitutionalism-through-ages-norms-emergencies-and-administrative-state **On the Failure of Constitutionalism Through the Ages** By Joseph Solis-Mullen > What happens if those that govern exempt themselves from the rules? - Republican Rome: Constitutional Norms Without Enforcement - Medieval Florence: Republican Forms and Oligarchic Reality - 20th Century England: Soft Despotism and the Administrative State - The Illusion of Constitutional Restraint
Virtuous Market Distribution vs. Nefarious State Redistribution https://mises.org/mises-wire/virtuous-market-distribution-vs-nefarious-state-redistribution By Finn Andreen > Progressives sell state intervention into economic affairs as “protecting” consumers and workers. In all cases, free markets do a better job of protecting all participants.
Trump's Tariffs Made His Farm Bailouts Inevitable | The Libertarian Institute By Joseph Solis-Mullen > In the comic theater of American politics, few spectacles are as reliably absurd as the utopian promises of protectionism. Donald Trump’s tariffs, hailed by their proponents as a bold strike against foreign exploitation, have instead proven to be a blunt instrument of economic self-sabotage—particularly for the nation’s farmers. From his first administration to the present day these policies have not only disrupted free markets but have necessitated a cascade of government bailouts, turning independent producers into wards of the state. Such interventions are not savvy trade strategy but are classic crony capitalism: politicians picking winners and losers, all while taxpayers foot the bill for the inevitable fallout. > Let’s rewind to Trump’s initial foray into tariff warfare, beginning in 2018. Under the guise of national security and “fair trade”—invoking dusty provisions like Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 and Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962—the administration slapped duties on imports ranging from steel and aluminum to a broad array of Chinese goods.
Will Trump's DHS 'Zone Out' the First Amendment? | The Libertarian Institute By James Bovard > Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Sunday called for Minneapolis to “set up a peaceful protest zone so that these individuals can exercise their First Amendment rights and do so peacefully.” Since 9/11, “free speech zones” have been one of the biggest constitutional shams around. > Both major political parties have used “free speech zone” restrictions to seek to silence dissent.
