The United Nations is facing an “imminent financial collapse” as member states refuse to cough up billions of dollars in mandatory contributions.

The financial woes were laid out in an emergency letter from Secretary-General António Guterres sent to all 193 member countries.

Guterres said the organisation’s financial crisis is worsening rapidly, threatening the delivery of core programmes and potentially leaving the U.N. bankrupt by July.

He urged member states to either pay what they owe in full or agree to sweeping changes to the UN’s financial rules to avoid collapse.

“Either all member states honour their obligations to pay in full and on time—or member states must fundamentally overhaul our financial rules to prevent an imminent financial collapse,” he wrote.

The warning comes as the United States, the U.N.’s largest contributor, has refused to fund the organisation’s regular and peacekeeping budgets and has withdrawn from multiple UN agencies.

The Trump administration has repeatedly criticised the U.N. for wasting taxpayer dollars, appeasing criminal regimes and infringing on the sovereignty of the U.S. and other member nations.

The Case for US Withdrawing from the UN

Several other member states are also in arrears or have declined to pay their assessed contributions.

According to Guterres, only 77 per cent of mandatory payments were received in 2025, leaving a record shortfall.

The UN’s financial strain has been compounded by internal rules requiring it to refund unspent funds, even when the money was never collected in the first place.

As a result, the organisation has been forced to return hundreds of millions of dollars it does not have, including $227 million refunded this month alone.

Signs warning of the crisis have reportedly been posted throughout U.N. offices in Geneva, where cost-cutting measures now include reduced heating and frequently shut-down escalators.

The cash shortage is already affecting operations, with U.N. agencies announcing widespread cuts that have led to the removal of funding in many of the world’s poorest countries.

The Trump administration has said international institutions must “adapt or die”, pledging limited humanitarian funding while cutting broader UN support.

Other major donors, including Britain and Germany, have also reduced foreign aid payments over the past year.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) enters the 2026 midterms in strong financial shape.

The same cannot be said for the Democratic National Committee (DNC).

According to a report from The New York Times, the DNC currently has $14 million on hand but is carrying $17.5 million in debt, leaving the party roughly $3.5 million in the red.

Party leaders are said to be “privately alarmed” by the state of the finances.

By contrast, the RNC is sitting on a $95.1 million war chest and reports no debt.

Their report states:

Without a president to headline events, the party that does not hold the White House often struggles to raise money in its main national committee. President Trump’s reputation as a transactional politician has only further encouraged donors with business before the government to give generously, both to the party and Mr. Trump’s super PAC.

Still, the depth of the Democratic Party’s financial hole is noteworthy. For instance, the R.N.C. had $38.8 million entering 2018, at the end of the first year of Mr. Trump’s first term. The D.N.C. was in the red at the time, with about $500,000 more in debt than cash. But the financial gap between the two parties was less than half of what it is now.

Last October, the D.N.C. took out a $15 million loan to fund the governor’s races in Virginia and New Jersey and to make longer-term investments. The party’s cash position has eroded significantly in the past year, after entering 2025 with $22 million in the bank. The R.N.C. started 2025 with a $38 million treasury.

During the 2024 election cycle, Kamala Harris and aligned Democratic committees significantly outraised the Trump campaign, spending over $1 billion in what turned out to be an unsuccessful campaign.

Last August, it was reported that so much money was spent on Harris and the wider election cycle that the DNC was still having to pay off its debts.

The media just cannot stop embarrassing themselves.

Spiteful journalists across the left-wing media have spent the last week mocking Melania Trump’s latest Amazon documentary, Melania, declaring it would be a box office bomb and humiliation for the First Lady and writing negative reviews.

You cant hate the Media enough…

The Hollywood Reporter: “Propaganda Doc”

The Atlantic: “A disgrace”

The Guardian: “Pure endless hell”

The Daily Beast: “Terrible”

The Independent: “To call Melania vapid would do a disservice to plumes of vape smoke”

However, receipts for the opening weekend are in and are already coming in far higher than expected.

According to The New York Times, it is the best-performing documentary film in the past 14 years!

Their report states:

Amazon’s gold-plated rollout for Melania Trump’s documentary is likely to result in opening-weekend ticket sales of roughly $8.1 million in the United States and Canada, box office analysts projected on Saturday.

That would give “Melania” the best start for a documentary (excluding concert films) in 14 years.

It would be a face-saving result for the first lady — just a few days ago, ticket sales were pacing at about $5 million — but not for Amazon, which spent an exorbitant $75 million to buy distribution rights to “Melania” and market its release.

Theater owners keep roughly 50 percent of ticket sales, meaning that Amazon would end the weekend with about $4 million to show for its investment.

The Los Angeles Police Department LAPD) will not enforce a California law that prohibits federal immigration agents from wearing masks during enforcement operations.

During an appearance on Good Day LA, LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell warned that doing so could endanger officers and escalate volatile situations.

“From a practical standpoint, our role when we get to a scene is to de-escalate the situation, not to ramp it up,” McDonnell said.

“Trying to enforce a misdemeanor violation on another law enforcement agency, that’s not going to end well. And that’s not going to be good.”

“From a public safety standpoint for anybody in that environment,” he continued. “Potentially, you have a crowd that could be agitated and trying to get their point across.”

“And then you have the ICE agents who are doing their job. And for us to come in then and try and create an enforcement action for wearing a mask, it’s not a safe way to do business.”

At a press conference on Friday, McDonnell said that enforcing Newsom’s law “doesn’t make any sense.”

“The reality of one armed agency approaching another armed agency to create conflict over something that would be a misdemeanor at best or an infraction.”

The law in question was signed by Newsom in September 2025 and makes it a misdemeanor for local, state, or federal law enforcement officers to wear masks or personal disguises while performing official duties.

“We have the right to stand up and push back,” Newsom declared at the time. “This is a disgrace, this is an outrage, what we have allowed to happen in this country.”

The only exceptions to the law include agents who are operating undercover or using protective equipment during tactical operations.

The legislation followed a series of immigration raids across Los Angeles, during which federal agents were seen wearing face coverings.

While the Trump administration has acknowledged that the wearing of face coverings is undesirable, they are worn to protect agents’ families against harassment, doxxing, and threats from far-left immigration activists.
