🇾🇪🇸🇦 - Ansarullah struck Saudi's East-West oil pipeline at Pumping Station 8, near Medina, west Saudi Arabia.

Massive plumes of smoke are visible, with fires blazing for at least 8+ hours.

The pipeline was intended to bypass the Strait of Hormuz. With the pipeline reportedly ruptured and al-Houthi forces controlling Mocha on the Bab el-Mandab coast, the oil market could spiral into chaos. Crude prices have already been climbing throughout the day in response to the developments in Yemen.

🇾🇪⚡- Saudi-backed Yemeni Homeland Shield Forces, pro-PLC, are withdrawing from the city of Ad Dali and surrounding areas in southern Yemen.

The withdrawal follows yesterday's PLC-STC confrontation involving the PLC's Defence Minister and today's reports that STC formations blocked PLC troops redeploying from frontline positions to Lahij or Aden.

By withdrawing, the PLC appears to be reducing its commitment to the Ad Dali direction, effectively leaving the STC to defend their stronghold area against Ansarullah forces independently.

🇾🇪⚡- Ansarullah have launched a large-scale counteroffensive in the Ma'rib direction, central Yemen. Heavy clashes ongoing.

🇾🇪⚡- Several huge PLC convoys have departed from Aden towards the Ta'izz - Dhubab direction, southwest Yemen.

🇾🇪⚡- Violent clashes across all three Ta'izz city's axis, both sides are attempting to advance.

🇾🇪⚡- BREAKING: The Giant Brigades, 'pro-PLC', have confirmed the fall of the Strait of Bab el-Mandeb to the Ansarullah forces.

Their official media announced the al-Houthi forces control the Mayun Island and the town of Murad.

The end of the Mocha direction, and the start of the Aden direction.

🇾🇪 - Orange = territory captured by the Ansarullah in just the past 24 hours.

This is making the rounds again, and thankfully so is the idea of taxing remittances.

The US should be taxing remittances no matter what!

Palau taxes remittances at 4% to mitigate this exact problem: the foreign cheap labor fails to pay into the tax system to cover the cost of their own services.

Kuwait (a country with a deliberate and incredible policy of "Kuwaitization," essentially reverse-DEI) also proposed a remittance tax between 1-5%.

Taxing remittances is a great immediate step to recouping some of the costs of immigration. It can also be done at the state level (Oklahoma has a tax on transfers sent outside the state for example). And Chip Roy
in Texas has been doing great work advocating for a remittance tax.

The long term solution is an immigration moratorium (the PAUSE act is another great piece of legislation to this end) paired with incentives for migrants to return, a.k.a. Remigration.
