Vietnam Uses HiAnime Arrests As Defense Against U.S. Trade Sanctions

Facing potential U.S. trade sanctions over online piracy, Vietnam is using the recent shutdown and its criminal prosecution of the HiAnime piracy ring as a key line of defense. Notably, Vietnam's response was submitted on the same day that the HiAnime prosecution was made public. While the enforcement action is notable, the outcome and potential sentences will be even more important.

Domestic Violence Is A Feature, Not A Bug For Republicans

Republican Rep. Max Miller of Ohio has been accused of horrifying acts of violence by multiple former partners.

His ex-wife Emily Moreno—daughter of Ohio GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno—said Miller threw hot water on her, held a gun to her head, and possibly broke the collarbone of the couple’s 2-year-old daughter.

Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham, who served during Donald Trump’s first term as president, accused Miller of domestic violence in 2021, with Politico reporting at the time that Miller allegedly pushed her and slapped her in the face.

Politico also reports that when he was in college, Miller was accused of pushing a woman who rebuffed his sexual advances out of his room, after which the woman fell down a flight of stairs.
