US Senate Staffer, Caught Having Sex In Hearing Room, Says He Was Bored: "Have No Regrets"
Aidan Maese-Czeropski, a US Senate staffer who was fired for allegedly filming himself while having sex in a Capitol hearing room, expressed "no regrets" for the act, citing boredom with his prestigious job. Dubbed the "Senate Twink," the 25-year-old relocated to Australia after the controversial video, recorded in the exclusive Hart 216 Senate room.
"But I don't regret f—king in the Senate," he told New York Magazine via FaceTime from a beach in the Outback. "I would come in nine hours a day, sit there bored out of my f—king mind. So yeah, I'm going to entertain myself and f–k in a room," he added.
Maese-Czeropski, now an expatriate, admitted to reserving Hart 216, where James Comey testified on Russian election interference and Ruth Bader Ginsburg was sworn in, for the explicit act, per the report. The desk used was recently occupied by Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), a former Democratic presidential candidate. Post-act, he gave his partner a Senate tour and returned to work before noon. However, he committed a grave error by sharing the video in a group chat, only to see it surface on the Daily Caller days later, exposing him publicly.
He initially coped with the backlash by obsessively watching TV but was overwhelmed by threats and shame, leading to a brief psych ward stay, per New York Magazine. After hitting rock bottom, he embarked on a backpacking trip through Southern Africa, Portugal, and the Canary Islands, ultimately settling in Australia.
"It's hard to say that I learned a lesson. In some sense, I f—ked in the Senate because I was miserable and wanted a way out," Maese-Czeropski admitted.
He also claimed that he knows plenty of other people who've had sex in the Senate. "I had a half-second where I was like, I know so many people who've f*cked in the Senate. I could throw people under the bus to water down my scandal," he said.
Instead, he's embraced his infamy, launching an OnlyFans account under "Senate Twink Official," boasting that he is going to cash in on this name.
He was dismissed from Sen. Cardin's office after the video leak, but the Capitol Police declined to press charges, noting the act, though outrageous, wasn't illegal.
"After consulting with federal and local prosecutors, as well as doing a comprehensive investigation and review of possible charges, it was determined that — despite a likely violation of congressional policy — there is currently no evidence that a crime was committed," the agency said at the time.

Court allows sale of seized assets in Torres jewellers ponzi scheme case
Mumbai: A special MPID court recently allowed the sale of seized gold, silver, and moissanite stones from Platinum Hern Pvt Ltd. and others in the Rs 142-crore Torres Jewellers Ponzi scheme case. The proceeds from the sale are to be deposited in a dedicated bank account opened for investigations. The order was passed by the court in response to an application filed by the Economic Offences Wing (EOW), Mumbai. The case stems from a complaint lodged by Pradeepkumar Vaishya, a vegetable seller from Khar West. According to the EOW's plea, during ongoing investigations, substantial quantities of gold, silver, and moissanite stones were seized from the showrooms of the accused company. The EOW requested the court's permission to sell these valuable assets and deposit the funds in the State Bank of India, Mandvi, Mumbai, branch. Judge NP Mehta's order dictates that a valuation report for both metals and moissanite stones must be obtained, and the items are to be sold according to their stated value in the report. A panchnama (record of observations by witnesses) detailing the sequence of the sale of this valuable property, with the valuation report annexed, is also mandated. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Freiburg Im Breisgau: Gutes Hören sucht 700 Testhörer für Hörgeräte ohne Zuzahlung Gutes Hören Undo Crucially, the Joint Commissioner of Police, EOW, Mumbai, has been tasked with overseeing the sale and providing sanction as per rules, with a report of compliance to be submitted. Further, the entire proceedings of the sale are to be video recorded. In March, the EOW submitted a chargesheet in the case. It stated the accused offered 2% higher returns for cash investments as part of their criminal conspiracy to facilitate the misappropriation of the invested funds. The chargesheet stated that investors interested in making online payments were discouraged with excuses like slow internet or network issues and were forced to invest in cash. Shivaji Park police on January 6 registered an FIR in the alleged investment fraud case. Office-bearers of Platinum Hern Pvt Ltd, which ran Torres Jewellers, were named as accused. Subsequently, police filed a 27,147-page chargesheet. Those named in the chargesheet include Platinum Hern Pvt Ltd, the company's Uzbek General Manager Taniya Xasatova (52), Russian Store-in-Charge Valentina Kumar (44), Director Sarvesh Surve (30), CEO Tausif Riyaz alias John Carter (33), Ukrainian actor who worked in Mumbai Armen Atian, alleged hawala operator Alpesh Khara, and Lallan Singh, who allegedly converted cash into "look-like" legitimate banking transactions for the accused company. The chargesheet also cited the statements of several witnesses, including mobile phone dealers who described how the accused purchased devices worth Rs 5 crore.

Trump's ICE war spills onto streets: Where's the US headed?
Reuters Protesters hide behind park chairs and road signs placed on the street to shield themselves from 'less-lethal' projectiles fired by police officers, during a protest against federal immigration sweeps in downtown Los Angeles, California, U.S. The Los Angeles riots might remind some people of the movie 'Civil War', released last year, which portrayed a near-future America descending into chaos as political divisions erupt into violent conflict. In both the film and the current real-world unrest, Los Angeles becomes a central battleground, symbolizing the breakdown of national unity and the erosion of institutional authority, albeit the current LA riots are more public disorder than a civil war. Just as the movie imagined journalists navigating a fractured, war-torn country with clashing factions and crumbling norms, today's scenes of ICE raids, violent protests and open defiance by state leaders of federal authority evoke the possibility that America's divisions may no longer be merely political but becoming Sunday, California National Guard troops were deployed in LA to help contain a third consecutive day of protests. These demonstrations, sparked by the Trump administration's intensification of immigration enforcement actions, have turned violent in parts of the city. As federal agents with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted high-profile raids, protesters, many of them illegal immigrants, took to the streets in resistance. What began as demonstrations quickly escalated into confrontations with law enforcement, property damage and street blockades. In response, President Donald Trump defended the federal crackdown and warned he might invoke the Insurrection Act, a rarely used 1807 statute that permits the president to deploy active-duty military forces within US borders in times of rebellion or unrest. Meanwhile, California's Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom called the National Guard deployment 'unlawful,' highlighting the widening rift between state and federal authority, particularly in Democratic-led states. A nation divided over illegal immigrants At the heart of this confrontation lies a deep and enduring ideological divide over immigration. For Trump and his supporters, enforcing immigration law, particularly through aggressive ICE raids, represents a non-negotiable commitment to national sovereignty and public safety. The Trump administration has long argued that failure to enforce immigration laws undermines the rule of law, burdens public resources and jeopardizes national security. The recent crackdown, Trump claims, is a necessary escalation to restore order and signal the administration's seriousness about deporting those in the country illegally. Yet to Trump's critics, chiefly Democratic leaders and immigrant rights groups, the tactics are viewed as not just heavy-handed but morally wrong. Many argue that these policies target vulnerable families, disrupt communities, and fan the flames of xenophobia. Cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco have declared themselves "sanctuary cities", where local officials refuse to fully cooperate with federal immigration authorities, setting up legal and ethical clashes over jurisdiction and responsibility. The protests, though initially peaceful, have increasingly featured militant rhetoric and violent outbursts, which Republican leaders cite as evidence of lawlessness and the failure of progressive leadership. Democratic leaders, in contrast, view the federal response as an authoritarian overreach. A crisis in the making What makes the current situation particularly volatile is that it sits at the intersection of legal, political and social turmoil. The use of the Insurrection Act is exceedingly rare, historically reserved for exceptional breakdowns in civil order (such as the 1992 Los Angeles riots). If invoked now, it would mark one of the most dramatic assertions of federal power in modern American history. This raises profound questions: Can the president override the will of state governors under the pretext of enforcing immigration law? What are the limits of state resistance in a federalist system? And how far are protesters, and their political defenders, willing to go to oppose ICE operations? Already, there are indications that this conflict could spread to other cities. Sanctuary cities across the US, from Chicago to New York to Seattle, may become flashpoints if ICE expands its efforts. Mass protests, street violence and counter-protests could spiral into wider unrest. If National Guard deployments become more common and federal troops are introduced under the Insurrection Act, America could face a level of domestic militarization not seen since the civil rights is no longer a policy issue. It has become an existential question about what kind of country the US wants to be. For those on the right, this is a battle for national security and integrity of the country. For those on the left, it is a fight for human rights and a more inclusive perception that one party is enabling lawlessness while the other is enabling authoritarianism leaves little room for compromise. In the given situation, America might be heading into a future where lines could blur between legal protest, civil disobedience and outright rebellionThe Trump administration's doubling down on immigration enforcement is one of the key promises Trump had made to his base, but violent resistance to federal agencies can light a fuse in several cities. Democratic leaders' refusal to cooperate with federal immigration authorities may earn praise from progressives, but it also challenges federal supremacy in matters of immigration and law neither side backs down, the result could be a season of violent protest, federal-state standoffs, and courtroom battles that test the limits of the constitution. The consequences of such a showdown will shape the upcoming midterm election.

Russia eyes reboot of RIC trilateral diplomacy as India-China tensions ease
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that the stalled work of the Russia-India-China troika could be restarted as the tension between New Delhi and Beijing has eased 'significantly'. read more Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Monday said that the Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral dialogue could resume, citing easing tensions between New Delhi and Beijing. Speaking at the 'Forum of the Future-2050' conference, Lavrov highlighted that the RIC platform—largely dormant since the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese troops could be the first step towards pan-Eurasian processes, including the formation of a multi-polar architecture. He said ongoing discussions with both Chinese and Indian counterparts are underway to restart the foreign ministers' meetings under the RIC framework. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'I really hope that we will be able to restore the work of the Russia-India-China trio. We have not met at the level of foreign ministers for the last couple of years, but we are discussing this issue with my Chinese colleague and with the Indian head of the External Affairs department,' Lavrov was quoted as saying by Russia's state-run TASS news agency. Lavrov said that Russia and China can and should play a leading and proactive role in the pan-continental process, including in the formation of a multi-polar architecture, and added that the restoration of the RIC format could act as the first step towards this. 'I really hope that now that the tension has eased, in my opinion, has eased significantly on the border between India and China, and the situation is stabilising, there is a dialogue between New Delhi and Beijing, we will be able to resume the work of this Russia-India-China trio,' he added. 'This will also be a very important step forward in the movement of continental processes,' he added. The two-day forum inspired by Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin, often dubbed as President Vladimir Putin's 'guru', has attracted young participants.
