A wild story: the CEO of a US energy company whose plans were discussed during the Witkoff-Kushner-Putin negotiations resigns. Why? He learned that his company's main investor is a sanctioned Russian company, not the UAE

@crampell.bsky.social and @jvl.bsky.social are LIVE discussing the week’s biggest economics and finance stories, including oil prices spiking to $117 over fears of an escalating Iran war.
I just want to state clearly that I don’t think there would be anything wrong with the president being gay and it absolutely would not change my opinion of him.
There is something deeply wrong with allowing a sociopath from South Africa to kill thousands of kids in Africa and Ukraine just because he has a lot of money.
It features a huge ballroom with niches for portraits of the dictator and his wife and a sliding roof so that a helicopter can enter and exit. The building also had a nuclear bunker. The aesthetic sense of the two men is much the same but Trump’s construction will probably be even worse.
Wrote last week on The Rooster about Conman cutting an ad with Amy Acton's estranged mother as his "October surprise."
Well, here it is. Polling on it just went out.
Restricting Starlink is Trump's way of thanking Ukraine for helping to protect American bases in the Middle East.
All while Russian satellites provide Iran with intel on American targets.
🖕EX-MAGA REP UNLOADS: “People are sick and tired of the bullshit”
Marjorie Taylor Greene accuses Trump White House of “pretending” to deport Ilhan Omar to distract from their numerous lies and failures
I took my son for a walk this morning. Beautiful, peaceful, safe.
In Ukraine, parents have to worry about Russian drones targeting their children
The only difference between us is where we were born.
We should be helping Ukraine defeat Putin. Instead, Trump is giving Russia another lifeline.
Was there a hint of 'F*ck Trump' in the Nobel Prize committee's decision to award Prize to Navi Pillay? An ICC judge AND a South African. @hollybfletcher.bsky.social
If you think Trump handing a multibillion $ gift to Putin that will help Russia continue to wage war on Ukraine, doesn't make sense...then you're not paying attention. It is Trump doing what he always does, putting Putin and Russian interests ahead of America's and our allies.
JON STEWART: “So in the FUTURE we WILL use A.I. to cure diseases… but right now it’s mostly murder, surveillance, and surge pricing for the McRib — What a trade! I’m getting the sense you guys might be full of shit.”
1 month to US midterms. In approx 3 weeks, Trump will engineer at least one fake crisis, declare state of emergency and cancel election:
* foiled Iranian terror attack
* foiled asassination attempt
* Chinese election hacking
* imminent invasion from Greenland
The entire presidential television press pool — Fox, ABC, CBS, NBC, and CNN — has agreed to suspend coverage in the wake of Trump’s decision to ban CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from the White House
Rep. Thomas Massie opens with a joke at the Children's Health Defense conference: "Senator McConnell has inspired my latest bill. It's a term limit bill called Three Strokes and You're Out."
Look at this loathsome repulsive creature yelling at a reporter. In addition to the fact that he’s the worst president in US history, he’s one of the worst human beings on planet earth. His supporters have a very serious defect in their character.
Trump doing this to @jimmykimmel is honestly a better reminder of the stakes of this election than anything @jamestalarico was going to say.
And more people will watch the interview now.
“In the 🇺🇸 we live in right now, that’s the best we can do.”
@jimmykimmel.com says his @jamestalarico.bsky.social interview will only be available on YouTube because fascist authoritarian Trump’s FCC stooge Brendan Carr threatened ABC over it.
We are very far over the cliff, folks.
