I doubt Russia has tons of diesel to export. They're in a fuel shortage crisis. It'd be illegal, violating sanctions. And awful strategy while Russia is attacking Ukraine, menacing NATO allies, and helping Iran target Americans. But looks like Trump trying to jawbone markets before the midterms.

I love this so much❤️ 122 new dads met their babies for the very first time yesterday when the USS Abraham Lincoln finally returned to San Diego. Families waited almost a year for this moment.

Trump is helping Russia finance its war against Ukraine because his own stupid war has made him desperate for Russian diesel. What a humiliation and what a betrayal of the Ukrainians.

Trump: "I have just concluded a highly successful discussion with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia, wherein it was agreed that Russia will immediately supply over 300,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel to the American and Global Marketplace, another 500,000 Tons during the month of November ... "

Televising the execution of Nidal Hasan is about more than voyeuristic violence Authoritarianism requires rituals of death that seek to transform secular oppression into religious orthodoxy while communicating the need to murderously purge “the other.” jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/descent-in...

El-Sayed: "I was a junior in HS on 9/11, sitting in my chemistry class. I watched as people started to point to people of my faith & say exactly the kinds of things that Rogers was saying. If that's his entire campaign strategy, you have to imagine how small minded he thinks Michiganders are."

Ossoff on Kimberly Guilfoyle: "Why is she spending so much time with this Greek energy lobbyist? She's partying across Europe after begging donors to bail her out financially and conducted herself in a way that seems to be deeply unethical."

Ossoff: "Bless his heart, Mike doesn't have too much of a mind of his own. He's been doing the president's bidding thoughtlessly for a year and a half and it's my constituents and folks across the country who are suffering."

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

Ossoff: "on Marco Rubio's watch the world is on fire, we are hemorrhaging our munitions stockpile, the administration appears to be trying to coverup combat casualties ... and he's trying to soft launch his presidential campaign. These people are not focused."

Ossoff: "I absolutely believe that Mike Collins would have been among those standing in the schoolhouse door ... Here in Georgia, where we are so proud of our legacy as the cradle of civil rights, I'll be damned if I'm gonna let a man like Collins win this race and represent GA for the next 6 years"

BREAKING: Willie Nelson endorses James Talarico: “I've gotten to know James Talarico. He's a good man, who will be a good senator for the state of Texas. Please vote and vote for James Talarico.“

Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

When Trump calls for Iran to nuke Los Angeles and San Diego, and his crowd of MAGA faithful cheer in response, we witness the completion of a process of psychological transformation associated with totalitarianism. Urging physical harm to fellow citizens has become a test of fidelity to the Leader.

theguardian.comThe most shocking part of Trump’s comments is what our reaction says about usListening to the president at a rally these days is a mix of deja vu and word salad, but his decade-long project of division remains abnormal and dangerous

OSSOFF: Mike Collins is one of the most extreme members of Congress. He's a Trump puppet election denier. I want to hear if Mike still believes the 2020 election was stolen. What do you say Mike? COLLINS: ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

Tax billionaire wealth. I frankly don't care if a billionaire can make a second billion. I'd rather have the average person be able to make their first $100k.
