Under Mounting US Pressure, Cuba Sets Over 2,000 Prisoners Free


Havana is moving.
As the US ramps up the pressure on the Caribbean island, the Cuban communist dictatorship announced that it has freed more than 2,000 prisoners.
It’s the second prisoner amnesty this year alone, amid talks with the US administration of Donald J. Trump.

Reuters reported:
“Cuba’s state-run Granma newspaper called the measure a ‘humanitarian and sovereign gesture’.
The Cuban government has consistently rejected any suggestion it makes decisions under U.S. pressure. The timing of Thursday’s announcement, however, coincides with the most intense pressure campaign applied by Washington in decades.”

“The decision to free 2,010 prisoners “stemmed from a careful analysis of the crimes committed by those convicted, their good conduct in prison, the fact that they had served a significant portion of their sentence, and their state of health’, state media said.”
Murderers, drug-related felons, and pedophiles were excluded from the release.
“It was unclear how many of the prisoners subject to release following Thursday’s announcement have been held on charges related to anti-government protests. Many high-profile dissidents, and some protesters from island-wide July 11 protests, have been freed in recent agreements and amnesties announced by the Cuban government.”

Associated Press reported:
“Cuba’s government denies holding political prisoners, but the activist group Prisoners Defended registered 1,214 people imprisoned for political reasons in Cuba as of February.
[…] The release comes as the Trump administration has placed extreme pressure on Cuba’s government.”
Last month, Cuba released 51 people from the island’s prisons in an unexpected move negotiated with the Vatican.

MUST WATCH: Senate Republicans Move to Lock in Full ICE and CBP Funding for Trump’s Entire Term by Bypassing Democrats Entirely


Senate Republicans are advancing a plan to fully fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for the remainder of President Donald Trump’s term through budget reconciliation, a move that would require only a simple majority of 50 Republican votes plus Vice President JD Vance.
This means funding for the agencies will become immune to Democrat filibusters or shutdown threats.
The announcement came Thursday from Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso, who confirmed he and Senate Budget Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham will meet with President Trump at the White House on Friday to finalize the framework.
Barrasso told Fox News, “I’ll be at the White House with Lindsey Graham…we’re going to be talking with the president specifically about funding ICE, Immigration Custom Enforcement, funding the Department of Homeland Security’s Border Patrol, and doing it not just for this year, but through the entire time that President Trump is still in the White House, and doing it with Republican votes alone.”

The plan uses the budget reconciliation process, which allows certain fiscal measures to pass with 51 votes in the Senate (or 50 plus the vice president) and bypass the 60-vote filibuster threshold.
Republicans aim to narrowly target funding for immigration enforcement agencies, as there are ongoing disputes over the broader Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding package.
The move follows weeks of deadlock over DHS appropriations from Democrats.
A partial DHS shutdown has dragged on for nearly two months, with Democrats refusing to support full funding for ICE and CBP without concessions on immigration policy.

Senate Republicans have repeatedly blocked Democrat attempts to fund most of DHS while excluding or limiting enforcement operations.
Barrasso emphasized that Democrats “aren’t interested in funding national security,” forcing Republicans to “go it alone” through reconciliation.
The plan would secure long-term funding for deportations, border security, and interior enforcement, which are all priorities of the Trump administration’s mass deportation agenda.
Barrasso did not specify a timeline for a floor vote, but GOP leaders will likely move quickly after the White House meeting.
The Gateway Pundit will continue tracking developments from the Senate Budget Committee and the White House.

CRINGE: Kamala Harris Impersonates President Trump as a “Mob Boss” (VIDEO)


Kamala Harris on Friday impersonated President Trump as a “mob boss.”
Harris, Pete Buttigieg, Senator Mark Kelly, and other high-profile Democrats and possible 2028 presidential hopefuls were in New York attending the National Action Network convention.
The event is being hosted by Al Sharpton.
“Two years out, we’ll see some of the people that have been thinking of running, and they’ll see us,” Al Sharpton told Politico.
Harris signaled she may run for president again.
Al Sharpton asked Kamala Harris if she would run for president in 2028 after she got trounced by President Trump in 2024.
“Listen. I might. I’m thinking about it,” Harris said.
“Let me also say this, I served for four years being a heartbeat away from the presidency of the United States,” she said. “I know what the job is, and I know what it requires.”
Harris continued on with her word salad.
“Look, the American people have the right to expect that anyone who wants to run for office and be a leader, that it can’t be about themselves and what they want for themselves has to be about the American people,” Kamala said.
“And that’s how I think of it and I am thinking about it in the context of… who and where and how can the best job be done for the American people?” she said.
“I’ll keep you posted,” Kamala added.
Kamala Harris then impersonated Trump as a “mob boss” as she criticized his foreign policy.
“And then he, Rev, kinda acts like a mob boss. So then he’s kind of like, ‘well, you know. You take Eastern Europe and I’ll take the Western Hemisphere and then you over there, you get Asia. And we’ll just divide it up,'” she said.
