There were no roll call votes in the House or Senate last week. Both branches spent most of their time in session listening to the farewell speeches of legislators who will not be returning to the Legislature next year. The 2023-2024 Legislative session ends on Jan. 1, 2025. At that time, all bills that have not been given final approval by both the House and the Senate and sent to the governor die. Many of the bills that will die have not been approved by either branch. But there are several measures that were given initial approval with little or no debate by the House. Following initial approval, the proposals automatically go to the House Committee on Bills in Third Reading (BTR), whose job it is to review the bill and check the contents for legal technicalities and proper citations. After the bill is released by BTR, it is considered and debated by the House and then put up for an up or down vote. Under House Rule 28A, BTR has 45 days to report out the bill to the House floor for debate and a vote. The rule reads: “The committee on Bills in the Third Reading shall report on a legislative matter not later than 45 days following the day the matter was referred to it. The clerk shall indicate on the calendar entry of every matter before the committee on Bills in the Third Reading the date that said matter was referred to said committee.” Beacon Hill Roll Call has found four bills that many months ago were given initial approval by the House with little or no debate and were sent to BTR where they have all lingered much longer than 45 days and will die if not acted upon by Jan. 1. Beacon Hill Roll Call believes that BTR is violating House rules by keeping the bills in committee and not reporting them out after 45 days as required under House rules. This tactic is often used by BTR and other House committees to bottle a measure up and ultimately defeat it by running out the clock. There is a way for the sponsor of a bill, or any other member, to force the bill onto the floor for a vote. Under House rules, after 45 days, all it takes is one House member to force the bill out of committee by raising a point of order that the BTR committee is in violation of House rules by keeping a bill that has been before BTR for more than 45 days. The committee would then be directed to report the bill to the House floor for debate and a vote. If a member never mentions this point of order, the committee continues to hold the bill, without any consequences. Article continues after... Cross|Word Flipart Typeshift SpellTower Really Bad Chess Rarely, if ever, does a member go that route against the wishes of the leadership and the committee chair. A state representative who requested anonymity told Beacon Hill Roll Call, “It’s no secret that Speaker Mariano controls the flow of legislation and a bill makes progress in the House only when he wants it to. Every member knows that one of the biggest sins is to publicly make a motion to discharge a bill from a committee. The leadership frowns upon that.” Some argue the committee is often a burial ground for bills that will never again see the light of day. They noted that sometimes even one-page bills have been tied up in the committee for months. They say it is outrageous to think that the committee needs months to check a one-page bill for accuracy, grammatical errors, duplication, consistency and constitutionality. Others say the committee has many bills to review and that it takes time to do the job properly. Rep. Tom Walsh, D-Peabody, House chair of the Bills in Third Reading Committee, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him if he is violating House rules and why the four bills are still stuck in his committee. The office of House Speaker Ron Mariano, D-Quincy, did not respond to repeated requests asking the speaker if Walsh is violating House rules. House Minority Leader, Rep. Brad Jones, R-North Reading, told Beacon Hill Roll Call, “While none of these bills are ones that I am currently co-sponsoring, it’s certainly the prerogative of any member to ask that these bills be moved from committee if they so desire. That being said, my focus over the next few weeks will be on putting together a package of meaningful rules reforms for the 2025-2026 session that will promote greater transparency, accountability and increased public awareness of the legislative process.” Jones did not respond to the question of whether he thinks that Rep. Walsh is violating House rules by keeping the bill in committee. Rep. Marc Lombardo, R-Billerica, who is running against Jones for the position of GOP House minority leader, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call to comment on the situation. Here are the four bills that were all approved by the House more than 45 days ago: On Feb. 12, 2024, the House gave initial approval to a bill that makes online sales of cars subject to the same law as if the sales were executed at the dealership’s physical place of business. Supporters said the bill aims to modernize the law regarding online car buying by not forcing dealers to provide a three-day return policy for online auto purchases. The measure would make it so the businesses selling these cars would have the choice to make all purchases final as long as that fact is clearly disclosed to the customer, instead of making the dealer pay for the sometimes significant transportation costs associated with a customer changing their mind. They noted that people shopping for a car online have the benefit of a lot of information to make this important decision, as well as the luxury to shop for many cars at once located over a great distance. Reps. Jack Lewis, D-Framingham, and Priscila Sousa, D-Framingham, the co-sponsors of the proposal did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking them if they think BTR is violating House rules by holding up the measure and if they would move to discharge the bill from BTR. On Feb. 15, 2024, the House gave initial approval to legislation that would eliminate the state law requiring that all fortune telling applicants must have lived in the city or town in which they are seeking their license to practice for at least one continuous year prior to filing their application. Supporters said the bill will remove an old law that has become antiquated and makes no sense. Sponsor Rep. Susannah Whipps, I-Athol, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking her if she thinks BTR is violating House rules by holding up the measure and if she would move to discharge her bill from the committee. On Feb. 22, 2024, the House gave initial approval to a proposal that would allow cities and towns to increase the current $300 maximum fine for parking illegally in a parking space reserved for people with disabilities. That $300 fine is set by the state and goes into the municipalities’ General Fund. The measure would allow cities and towns to impose an additional $450 fine, making the total fine $750. The additional $450 would be placed into a specialized local account to be used for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) upgrades in the city or town where the violation occurred. The original $300 fine would still go into the community’s General Fund. Supporters said that across the state, cities and towns have plans to make their communities more accessible but a lack of funding often prevents them from enacting their plans. They noted that this bill would allow them to place some of the financial burden on the backs of those who violate the laws that exist to protect the rights of people with disabilities. Sponsor Rep. Bruce Ayers, D-Athol, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking him if he thinks BTR is violating House rules by holding up the measure and if he would move to discharge his bill from the committee. On Feb. 26, 2024, the House gave initial approval to legislation designating Feb. 4 as Rosa Parks Day “in lasting recognition of a historic civil rights leader.” Supporters said it is long past time to honor this hero of the civil rights movement whose courageous act to challenge segregation kindled and continues to inspire the fight for justice and equality of all people. Co-sponsors Reps. Mike Kushmerek, D-Fitchburg, and Kip Diggs, D-Barnstable, did not respond to repeated requests by Beacon Hill Roll Call asking them if they think BTR is violating House rules by holding up the measure and if they would move to discharge their bill from the committee. Rep. Marc Lombardo, R-Billerica, announced his candidacy for House GOP minority leader. He is challenging current GOP Minority Leader Rep. Brad Jones, R-North Reading, who has been a representative for 30 years and has held the leadership post since 2002. Lombardo is a 14-year incumbent who first took office in 2011. The election will take place on Jan. 1 when the Legislature convenes the 2025-2026 session. “Massachusetts is at a crossroads,” said Lombardo. “For too long, the voices of our communities have been overshadowed by the Democratic Party’s monopoly on power. Our Republican Caucus has a duty to provide a real alternative, one that champions fiscal responsibility, individual liberty, and the values that make Massachusetts a great place to live and work. To do this, we need leadership that is dynamic, collaborative and unafraid to chart a new course. “The current Republican leadership has repeatedly failed to be a voice of reason at a time when Democrats continue to pass laws that are crippling the economy and making Massachusetts one of the most expensive states in the country to live in,” he continued. “Hard-working people across the commonwealth are suffering as a direct result of these failed progressive policies that the Republican leader has supported. Energy costs are through the roof, it’s almost impossible to run a small business and billions are being spent on illegal migrants when a growing number of residents are barely able to make ends meet.” “I am proud to have the support of the overwhelming majority of the caucus as I seek re-election as minority leader,” Jones responded in a brief statement. “I have enjoyed the productive discussions with Republican colleagues about how we can work together as we head into the 2025-2026 session. I look forward to continuing to serve as House minority leader come Jan. 1.” According to Beacon Hill Roll Call’s records, Lombardo has voted the same as Jones on 84% of the 357 roll calls from 2021 to 2024. The roll calls used to determine those numbers exclude any roll calls on local matters. The House and Senate approved and sent to Gov. Maura Healey a conference committee version of legislation that supporters say would expand non-opioid pain treatments; establish licenses for recovery coaches; support pregnant women and their children who have been exposed to substances; and vastly expand access to opioid-reversal drugs. The House and Senate had approved different versions of the legislation and a conference committee hammered out this compromise version. Other provisions mandate that all health plans cover opioid reversal drugs such as Narcan without cost-sharing or prior authorization; require hospitals and substance use treatment facilities to educate patients on opioid reversal drugs and prescribe or dispense at least two doses to at-risk patients upon discharge; and require pharmacies in areas with high incidences of overdoses to maintain a sufficient and consistent supply of opioid reversal drugs while also requiring them to stock both over-the-counter and prescription versions. The bill includes several new insurance provisions, including a prohibition on life insurance companies from limiting or refusing coverage to a person solely because they obtained an opioid-reversal drug, and a prohibition on medical malpractice insurers from discriminating against health care practitioners who provide harm reduction services. The bill also updates requirements for insurance providers to ensure adequate coverage and access to pain management services, including non-opioid treatments, and expands access to non-opioid pain treatment by incorporating non-opioid alternatives into provider training. “Too many families have known the pain of substance use disorder and, tragically, the loss of a loved one because of it,” said Senate President Karen Spilka, D-Ashland. “Opioids have stolen life from parents, children, siblings and friends. The legislation approved by the Legislature ... makes powerful strides toward mitigating this crisis by helping those coping with substance use disorder reduce harm, find treatment and achieve recovery that lasts a lifetime.” “As families across Massachusetts know all too well, the impact of opioid addiction can be utterly devastating for the individual and for their loved ones, which is why a continued focus on combating substance use is a critical responsibility that we have as elected officials,” said House Speaker Ron Mariano, D-Quincy. “I am happy to have played a role as one of the final six legislators who negotiated the contents of this bill,” said Sen. Ryan Fattman, R-Sutton. “This is a very comprehensive, impactful bill devoid of controversy that will no doubt save lives at a very important time in history and a bill that the vast majority of the citizens of the commonwealth can support.” “This comprehensive legislation affirms our commitment to treating substance use as a matter of public health, and I’m proud of our continued progress in promoting recovery and preventing overdose deaths,” said Rep. Adrian Madaro, D-Boston, House chair of the Committee on Mental Health, Substance Use and Recovery. The Senate approved and sent to the House legislation that would allow organizations registered as blood establishments with the federal Food and Drug Administration to maintain a blood bank if the bank is approved by the Massachusetts commissioner of the Department of Public Health and the Public Health Council. Supporters said there are a number of blood banks that operate nationally that currently supply Massachusetts hospitals but may not draw or store blood here. They argued that this legislation is intended to address that inefficiency. Currently only the Red Cross, Center for Blood Research and hospitals are permitted to draw and store blood in Massachusetts. “This bill simply allows FDA-approved facilities in Massachusetts to accept blood donations,” said sponsor Sen. Barry Finegold, D-Andover. “This commonsense initiative will expand access and capacity, benefiting hospitals and patients alike.” The Registry of Motor Vehicles is reminding Massachusetts residents that beginning on May 7, 2025, people traveling by plane domestically or entering certain federal facilities will need a RMV-issued REAL ID-compliant driver’s license or ID, or a valid passport. The RMV strongly encourages everyone seeking a REAL ID-compliant license or ID card to visit Mass.Gov/REALID to learn what documents are needed for a required in-person appointment. Appointments to upgrade to REAL IDs are available now, and several RMV service centers offer Saturday appointments. Customers who already have a compliant credential may renew online as long as they have not had a name change. The House approved and sent to the Senate legislation waiving, for six years, until 2030, a law that requires businesses and groups to have a 35% participation rate to qualify for group auto and home insurance discount rates. The measure permits groups with less than the 35% participation to take advantage of group rates, which supporters say will save members between 5% and 8%. The law has been waived since 1997. The 35% requirement was first included in a 1973 law. Supporters said if the bill is not approved, insurance discounts for 322,000 vehicles and 142,000 homes in Massachusetts would disappear on Jan. 1, 2025, and consumers will pay millions of dollars more for insurance.
Jakub Dobes has been on fire for the Canadiens in the AHL, and now, the team are waiving Cayden Primeau to make room for the talented young 23-year old. The Montreal Canadiens 2024/25 season has been very up-and-down through three months of action, despite the season starting with speculation that this team could push for a Stanley Cup Playoffs spot . With the youth pushing their success however, this is a team that's building a very entertaining young core, and now, we are reportedly set to see another piece of that core at the NHL level. According to Head Coach Martin St. Louis, the team are making two huge moves ahead of the NHL's return following the holiday break, with Cayden Primeau set to be placed on waivers so 23-year old Jakub Dobes can make his NHL debut on Saturday against the Florida Panthers. Dobes has played in 14 games with the Laval Rocket this season, posting a 2.44 GAA and a .910 save percentage in that time, and after investing a fifth-round pick in him, it's clear that Montreal want to see what they have for the future of the franchise. As for Primeau, he simply couldn't find his game at the NHL level over the years in Montreal, with the 2024/25 campaign being an especially troubling one, as he tallied an .836 save percentage to go along with a 4.70 GAA, numbers that simply won't cut it at the NHL level. However, the once highly touted prospect is still just 25-years of age, and with 55 NHL appearances under his belt, the talent is clearly there, so don't be shocked to see a team take a chance on him when he is officially placed on waivers on Saturday.

Alex Enumah in Abuja The International Federation of Women Lawyers (FIDA) Nigeria has reiterated its commitment towards improving the lives of indigent and vulnerable Nigerians, especially women and children. FIDA reiterated its commitment yesterday in Abuja, during a media parley to herald the federation’s triennial conference, tagged, ‘FIDA @ 60: Celebrating Our Legacy, Embracing the Future’. Speaking, the association’s Country Vice President/National President, Mrs. Amina Suzanah Agbaje, stated that, “FIDA Nigeria, 60 years ago, began with a bold vision to ensure access to justice for indigent women and children whilst championing the rights of the marginalised. “Through decades of dedication, passion, and resilience, we have grown into a formidable force within Nigeria’s legal landscape. Our story is one of triumphs, challenges, and undeniable impact, and as we look ahead, we remain even more committed to advancing the cause of justice.” Agbaje, claimed that in the last six decades, FIDA Nigeria has been working tirelessly to turn its vision into reality. “From securing landmark legislative victories to pushing for the domestication of international treaties that protect women and children, we’ve championed causes like the mitigation of gender-based violence, enhanced child protection, and the empowerment of women through legal education. We’ve continuously trained lawyers, provided free legal services to indigent women, and advocated for the passage of laws that promote gender parity and inclusion. “Today, as we mark this milestone, we are proud of the role we have played in shaping a more just and equitable society. As we celebrate, we are also conscious of the work that lies ahead. There is still much to be done, and FIDA Nigeria stands ready to continue leading the charge,” she said. The Country Vice President/National President disclosed that part of the activities slated for the triennial conference include; A 60 for 60 Outreach to empower indigent women who run small businesses with a profit lower than minimum wage; the grand unveiling of a National Shelter for survivors of gender-based violence—a testament to our unwavering dedication to supporting and empowering the vulnerable; aerobic sessions to promote physical and mental well-being among our members and legal education sessions to booster the knowledge and capacity of our members, amongst others. Highlight of the briefing was the unveiling of FIDA’s new logo—a fresh emblem that reflects both FIDA’s history and future aspirations. According to Agbaje, the new logo is more than just a symbol, “It represents FIDA Nigeria’s renewed commitment to innovation, leadership, and justice whilst reminding us that re-branding, re-inventing to remain relevant in an ever dynamic world is much needed for the evolution that we seek. “It honours our past, highlighting the foundation laid by trailblazing women who fought for equality in their time, and to keep the consciousness to further institutionalise an intergenerational organisation deliberate about mentorship and passing the torchlight to the younger, more vibrant, technology-driven generation of women who will lead in the revolution, landmark legislative reforms that will give women and children access to a fair and equitable justice, an opportunity in governance and leadership.”
By MICHELLE L. PRICE WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — An online spat between factions of Donald Trump’s supporters over immigration and the tech industry has thrown internal divisions in his political movement into public display, previewing the fissures and contradictory views his coalition could bring to the White House. The rift laid bare the tensions between the newest flank of Trump’s movement — wealthy members of the tech world including billionaire Elon Musk and fellow entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and their call for more highly skilled workers in their industry — and people in Trump’s Make America Great Again base who championed his hardline immigration policies. The debate touched off this week when Laura Loomer , a right-wing provocateur with a history of racist and conspiratorial comments, criticized Trump’s selection of Sriram Krishnan as an adviser on artificial intelligence policy in his coming administration. Krishnan favors the ability to bring more skilled immigrants into the U.S. Loomer declared the stance to be “not America First policy” and said the tech executives who have aligned themselves with Trump were doing so to enrich themselves. Much of the debate played out on the social media network X, which Musk owns. Loomer’s comments sparked a back-and-forth with venture capitalist and former PayPal executive David Sacks , whom Trump has tapped to be the “White House A.I. & Crypto Czar.” Musk and Ramaswamy, whom Trump has tasked with finding ways to cut the federal government , weighed in, defending the tech industry’s need to bring in foreign workers. It bloomed into a larger debate with more figures from the hard-right weighing in about the need to hire U.S. workers, whether values in American culture can produce the best engineers, free speech on the internet, the newfound influence tech figures have in Trump’s world and what his political movement stands for. Trump has not yet weighed in on the rift, and his presidential transition team did not respond to a message seeking comment. Musk, the world’s richest man who has grown remarkably close to the president-elect , was a central figure in the debate, not only for his stature in Trump’s movement but his stance on the tech industry’s hiring of foreign workers. Technology companies say H-1B visas for skilled workers, used by software engineers and others in the tech industry, are critical for hard-to-fill positions. But critics have said they undercut U.S. citizens who could take those jobs. Some on the right have called for the program to be eliminated, not expanded. Born in South Africa, Musk was once on an a H-1B visa himself and defended the industry’s need to bring in foreign workers. “There is a permanent shortage of excellent engineering talent,” he said in a post. “It is the fundamental limiting factor in Silicon Valley.” Related Articles National Politics | Should the U.S. increase immigration levels for highly skilled workers?

His tough immigration policies, including his pledge for a mass deportation, were central to his winning presidential campaign. He has focused on immigrants who come into the U.S. illegally but he has also sought curbs on legal immigration , including family-based visas. As a presidential candidate in 2016, Trump called the H-1B visa program “very bad” and “unfair” for U.S. workers. After he became president, Trump in 2017 issued a “Buy American and Hire American” executive order , which directed Cabinet members to suggest changes to ensure H-1B visas were awarded to the highest-paid or most-skilled applicants to protect American workers. Trump’s businesses, however, have hired foreign workers, including waiters and cooks at his Mar-a-Lago club , and his social media company behind his Truth Social app has used the the H-1B program for highly skilled workers. During his 2024 campaign for president, as he made immigration his signature issue, Trump said immigrants in the country illegally are “poisoning the blood of our country” and promised to carry out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history. But in a sharp departure from his usual alarmist message around immigration generally, Trump told a podcast this year that he wants to give automatic green cards to foreign students who graduate from U.S. colleges. “I think you should get automatically, as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country,” he told the “All-In” podcast with people from the venture capital and technology world. Those comments came on the cusp of Trump’s budding alliance with tech industry figures, but he did not make the idea a regular part of his campaign message or detail any plans to pursue such changes.An online debate over foreign workers in tech shows tensions in Trump’s political coalitionA joint investigation by WIRED, Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR), and Netzpolitik.org uncovered that US companies legally collecting digital ad data are enabling adversaries to cheaply track American military and intelligence personnel . A collaborative analysis of billions of location coordinates from a US-based data broker revealed detailed tracking of thousands of devices from sensitive US sites in Germany, including NSA facilities and bases reportedly housing US nuclear weapons. Elsewhere, social media giant Meta has disclosed for the first time its efforts to combat the forced-labor compounds driving the surge in pig butchering scams on its platforms. The company revealed that it has been quietly collaborating with global law enforcement, tech industry partners, and external experts for over two years to dismantle the crime syndicates behind these operations in Southeast Asia and the UAE. This year alone, Meta reports it has taken down more than 2 million accounts linked to scam compounds in Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia, the Philippines, and the UAE. At the Cyberwarcon security conference on Friday, the cybersecurity firm SpyCloud shared findings about publicly accessible black market services offering low-cost access to sensitive information on Chinese citizens, including phone numbers, banking details, hotel and flight records, and even real-time location data. According to the firm’s researchers, these services seem to obtain their data through insiders within Chinese surveillance agencies and government contractors, who sell their access. Also at the conference, cybersecurity firm Volexity uncovered that a Russian hacking group has reportedly developed a novel Wi-Fi-hacking technique that involves taking control of a nearby laptop and using it as a bridge to infiltrate a targeted Wi-Fi network. Dubbed a “nearest neighbor attack,” the method was uncovered during a 2022 investigation by the firm into a network breach of an unnamed Washington, DC. client. And finally, researchers explored how the US is calling out foreign influence campaigns faster than they ever have—but there’s plenty of room for improvement. That’s not all.

And stay safe out there. “King of Toxic Masculinity” Gets Hacked Hacktivists have breached an online “educational platform” founded by the misogynistic right-wing influencer Andrew Tate reportedly revealing the email addresses of hundreds of thousands of users as well as the contents of the platforms’ private chat servers. Data from the hack, first reported by the Daily Dot, has now been published by the transparency nonprofit Distributed Denial of Secrets . Andrew Tate, the so-called “king of toxic masculinity,” is currently under house arrest in Romania and faces two separate criminal charges , including allegations of forming an organized criminal group and trafficking women across Romania, the UK, and the US. The compromised platform, a subscription-based service known as The Real World (formerly called Hustler's University), describes itself as a “global community” focused on “personal growth.” According to its website, members receive expert training, mentorship, and access to a wide range of educational courses for around $50 per month. According to the Daily Dot , hacktivists announced their breach of the platform on Thursday by disrupting the course's main chatroom with a barrage of uploaded emojis while Tate was livestreaming an episode of his show Emergency Meeting on Rumble. The emojis included a transgender pride flag, a feminist fist, an AI-generated image of Tate wrapped in a rainbow flag. Data from the breach, verified by WIRED, includes more than 700,000 usernames and reportedly includes messages from 221 public and 395 private chat servers. An analysis by the Daily Dot reveals a mix of content within the chat logs, ranging from motivational quotes and personal progress updates to grievances about the “LGBTQ agenda.” WIRED is continuing to analyze the leaked material. The “Worst Telecom Hack in US History” Is Still Ongoing Chinese government hackers have infiltrated over a dozen US telecommunications companies in what a senior senator is calling the worst telecom breach in American history—and they’re still inside the networks. The hacking group, Salt Typhoon, has been able to eavesdrop on audio calls in real time and obtain millions of records of call and text metadata from targeted individuals, according to a Washington Post interview with Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Fewer than 150 victims have been identified and notified by the FBI so far—most of them in the DC region—including president-elect Donald Trump, his vice president-elect, JD Vance, as well as people working for Vice President Kamala Harris and state department officials. Warner said, however, that the effort was not directly election-related, as the hackers got into some telecom systems more than a year ago. Leaked Documents Show GrayKey Struggles to Access Modern iPhones Leaked documents obtained by 404 Media reveal that GrayKey, a phone-hacking tool used by law enforcement to extract data from devices in their possession, can at the moment only partially access information from modern iPhones running iOS 18.0 and 18.0.1. While the precise details of exactly how Graykey operates are unknown, the tool reportedly brute-forces iPhone or Android passcodes to unlock them—essentially hacking the phone—allowing law enforcement to then access and extract encrypted device data. While the specific types of data accessible during a “partial” extraction are unclear, it likely includes unencrypted files and metadata, such as file sizes and folder structures. The document provides context to an ongoing cat-and-mouse dynamic between forensic technology companies and mobile device manufacturers. With each new software update, tools like GrayKey are temporarily thwarted, prompting developers to quickly adapt their technology to catch up. At the moment it appears that they have not. This leak follows another report from 404 Media about a feature in iOS 18 called “inactivity reboot,” which forces devices to restart after four days of inactivity, adding another layer of difficulty for law enforcement attempting to access data on seized devices. Europe Probes Undersea Cable Sabotage European authorities are investigating suspected sabotage to two undersea fiber-optic cables: one linking Finland and Germany, and the other connecting Sweden and Lithuania. Russia—widely suspected as the likely perpetrator—denies involvement, dismissing the allegations as “ridiculous.” The incident began on Sunday when two telecommunications companies detected traffic disruptions likely caused by physical damage to undersea cables. One of the affected cables, known as C-Lion—a vital 730-mile link between Finland and Central Europe—runs alongside other critical infrastructure, including gas pipelines and power lines. By Wednesday, the Danish navy had reportedly intercepted a Chinese cargo ship in connection with the disruptions. The vessel, which had most recently docked in Russia before the incident, was near the damaged area at the time. It is now under investigation, with its crew being questioned about their possible involvement.
