The DOJ did not name Tenet Media but NBC News identified the company based on its description in the indictment. Unlike the influencers alleged to have been victims of RT and Tenet Media, who denied knowing they were working for Russia, Chen has said nothing since the indictment made news. “By connecting to and interacting with one another through YouTube videos, influencers with mainstream audiences lend their credibility to openly white nationalist and other extremist content creators,” Lewis wrote. Following the unsealing of the indictment, TheBlaze fired Chen and Turning Point USA removed her author page from its website.

☆ The Summer Camps of Ukraine’s Forests: Hikes, First Aid and Military Readiness
▼ + stars: | 2024-08-11 | by ( Diego Ibarra Sanchez | Megan Specia | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: 1 min

In a forest in western Ukraine, a few dozen young men and women stood at attention in two lines in the fading evening light. Some had fake guns slung over their shoulders. Among them was Olesya Vdovych, who had spent the day with other members of the scouting organization Plast, hauling logs, running drills and learning about first aid as part of a two-week camp last August. “I’m eager to be prepared,” Ms. Vdovych said at the time, her long blond hair tied in two braids under a forest green cap. With a number of her friends and family fighting in the war against Russia, she said she felt it was important to be ready for any situation.

☆ U.S. expat who's lived in Italy, France and more: If you want to move to Europe, here's my best advice

Take it from Alex Ingrim, who's originally from Washington, but left the U.S. to study in France, where he met his now-wife, Louisa. Over the last 17 years, Ingrim, 36, has lived in France, Canada, the UK, Malta and now Italy. That's the minimum amount of time you'll need to start shopping and doing chores like you live there, Ingrim says. "If you go for two weeks, you're not really fully going grocery shopping," he says. "Try to understand the realistic budget for how you live," Ingrim says.
