🇺🇸🇻🇪⚡️- "In a pre-dawn action this morning, the Department of War, in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security, apprehended a stateless, sanctioned dark fleet motor tanker without incident.

The interdicted vessel, M/T Sophia, was operating in international waters and conducting illicit activities in the Caribbean Sea. The U.S. Coast Guard is escorting M/T Sophia to the U.S. for final disposition.

Through Operation Southern Spear, the Department of War is unwavering in its mission to crush illicit activity in the Western Hemisphere. We will defend our Homeland and restore security and strength across the Americas." - U.S. Southern Command

🇺🇸🇷🇺🇻🇪 - SOPHIA is a Russian ghost supertanker – the second tanker Moscow has lost today, despite the deployment of its 'navy'.

🇾🇪🇸🇦🇦🇪⚡- BREAKING: The ultra-conservative and right-wing Giant Brigades, which currently control Aden, have defected to the Saudi-backed Coalition Forces side.

The Southern Transitional Council has therefore collapsed. Saudi-backed troops are currently in Shabwah, heading towards Abyan and Aden.

🇾🇪🇸🇦🇦🇪⚡- The Southern Transitional Council has fallen.

The Saudi-backed Homeland Shield Forces have recently entered Ataq, capital of the Shabwah region, and are on their way to take over Aden.

Aden, Ad Dali and the Lahij regions are under the Giant Brigades control, who have defected to the Saudi-side. The Giant Brigades are currently expelling the Southern Transitional Council from military positions in the three regions. The Tihamah region remains under the control of the pro-Saudi Tihamah Forces.

Map key:
Purple - Saudi-backed Homeland Shield Forces,
Blue - Giant Brigades (al-Amalikah),
Yellow - Tihamah Forces.

Note, Ad Dalu, Lahij, southern Tihamah and Aden are NOT yet under Saudi-back Yemeni forces control. Saudi-backed troops have only recently begun clearing the Shabwah region, a convoy had entered Ataq.g

🇾🇪 - Current control map:

Purple: Saud-backed Homeland Shield Forces, HSF, who are sweeping through the territory of Shabwah right now.

Blue: Abyan Security Council, which defected to the Saudi-side earlier this morning. Abyan has said they will welcome the HSF upon arrival.

Yellow: National Resistance (pro-Hadi forces), YNR. The YNR have mostly defected to the Saudi-led side as well, which includes the Giants Brigades, the Republican Guards, and the Tihamah Forces.

Saudi-backed HSF have not yet secured the entirety of southern Yemen yet. There are no HSF in Ad Dali, Aden, or Lahij – not yet at least.

The only troops loyal to the STC that remain in Aden are the Storm Brigade, who are being arrested by the Giants Brigade.

🇺🇸⚡️- Polling from The Speaking With American Men Project shows that young men are souring on Trump and JD Vance. Vance particularly now has a lower approval than figures such as Andrew Tate.

Charlie Kirk remains held in high esteem while the behavior of his wife has not made her popular.

Democrats however fare no better as every major figure besides Bernie Sanders and Barack Obama have abysmal favorability with this group who also give the GOP the edge on every major issue still despite voicing frustrations with Trump's adventurism and not delivering enough results.

🇺🇸⚡️- These are from an early draft of the DNC's post election multimillion dollar study on why they lost young men in 2024.

The study separates men into 5 generalizes groups finding most could be considered right leaning with only 19% openly being leftist, with another 14% generally liberal.

The study tries to emphasize that young men are mainly non-ideological and can be won over by the Democrats with good governance and Democratic politicians giving men a fair hearing instead of casting away their concerns as they have for years.

🇾🇪⚡- A curfew has been announced by the pro Southern Transitional Council Storm Brigades in Aden.

🇾🇪⚡- The Saudi-backed Homeland Shield Forces have captured the entire Shabwah region and are now approaching the Abyan Governorate – the final region before Aden.

The Abyan Security Council has already defected over to the Saudi-side, and announced that they will welcome the Saudi-backed forces.

🇺🇸⚡️- President Trump plans to ban large investors from buying single family homes, will discuss this and more of his housing priorities at his Davos speech in a few weeks.

🇺🇸⚡️- A woman was shot and killed after she attempted to ram ICE agents with her car in Minneapolis today. Democrat lawmakers in the state have already put out statements condemning ICE and asking them to leave the state.
