The obvious weakness of relying on the US, as it is managed by Russian assets, was not lost to Ukraine, Europe, and Canada; special progammes are in place to rectify this issue as quickly as possible. This week's move by the US simply sped things along.
One of the assailants identified himself as Russell Dickert of Brown Mills, New Jersey, a plant manager for Harsco Corp. He went on to identify other assailants as Gary and Clint (Gary’s son). Thousands online are reportedly demanding their arrests and contacting Dickert’s employer.
A federal judge has indefinitely restored access to the White House for MS NOW, Politico, and CNN after Trump's ban last month. Ted Boutros Jr., the attorney representing the outlets, joined @nicollewallace.bsky.social on set today for his first public appearance since the ruling.

Trump regime loyalist and FBI director Kash Patel tweeted "From Russia, with Love" as Russia rains missiles down on civilians in Ukraine and attacks allies.
JUST IN: A federal judge just forced Trump’s DOJ to fast-track records involving Trump and the Epstein files, citing “possible questions about the government’s integrity that affect public confidence.” The records being sought are significant.
Trump continues blaming Ukraine for the global fuel crisis, despite the US-Israeli war against Iran being a the main driver of the energy crisis. Trump explicitly claimed, “This isn’t done by the Middle East,” instead blaming Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries.
While Russia bombs Ukraine, this is what Trump says:
“We are making money from the Ukraine war as NATO is buying our weapons.”
“I want Zelensky to make a deal. I want him to settle with Putin.”
“The big problem is Ukraine blowing up oil refineries in Russia.”
After a girl was raped near campus in an area women repeatedly reported as unsafe, Delhi women held protests demanding safer streets, lighting, and policing. They cite broken cameras, vanishing police booths and stalled safety projects. #OpDeathEaters

Sen. Ron Wyden says the FBI has an interview report from an Epstein-linked banker that was never included in the files released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. He is demanding the FBI and DOJ turn over the missing report. #OpDeathEaterswww.yacnews.com/wyden-says-j...
Ukraine reportedly used its FP-7 ballistic missile in combat for the first time in the last 24 hours, while another strike hit a Krasnozavodsk plant producing thermobaric warheads for Shahed drones.

Big Tech companies like Flock Safety have built a mass surveillance system to harvest Americans’ private and personal data without their consent.

Netanyahu accuses Britain and France of inventing colonialism. Which is a lie. Colonialism is thousands of years older than either modern Britain or France. Ancient examples include Greek colonies around the Mediterranean, Phoenician settlements such as Carthage, and Roman colonial expansion.
“A month before Election Day 2024, the New York Times reported that the US job market was 'as healthy as it has ever been'. A few days later, The Washington Post’s Heather Long explained, 'We are living through one of the best economic years of many people’s lifetimes'.”

Rep. Robert Garcia demands Trump Jr.'s records on Putin-decorated oligarch Umar Kremlev, who paid for his wedding parties. Blanche and Patel refuse to take action.
The Trump media ban is revelatory.
Of course what Trump has done violates the constitution. But note that no official refused to implement it- violating their oaths of office to us. Tells you everything you need to know - and worry about in the administration’s response to the midterm elections.
Trump told the Republican Party’s first midterm convention that every adult US citizen would receive $5,000 if his party retains control of Congress on 3 November. Laws in democracies such as Germany, Canada and the UK would treat such an offer as bribery.
Taxpayers have covered ~$101.2 million in golf-trip travel/security costs since January 2025, while 2026 disclosures show $155,000 in cash gifts to four White House aides, including Natalie Harp.
Trump offers a bribe of $5,000 in exchange for votes, the bribe is promoted as a dividend and would cost $1.2 trillion dollars. This is a felony under 18 U.S.C. § 597, bribing someone to vote a certain way is a federal crime punishable by prison.

It's a tragedy that Leon Black committed suicide or had a heart attack or fell down some stairs a few weeks from now before Epstein investigators could make him talk.
Music has always had the power to connect and inspire us. At the opening of the Obama Presidential Center, Eddie Vedder and the young people from Guitars Over Guns wrote and performed a profoundly moving song, ‘Better Believe,’ that spoke to each of them and all of us.
Leon Black, who paid Epstein $170 million, sued House Oversight to block its subpoenas, and skipped his congressional deposition. Contempt proceedings being considered as Black timed his filing to the September recess to slow the investigation down. #OpDeathEaterswww.yacnews.com/leon-black-w...

This summer, more than 50 young men from Chicago Public Schools attended the MBK-Obama Leadership Academy to get ready for high school.
They earned credits toward graduation, developed important life skills, and built connections. We’re proud of their hard work, and can’t wait to see what they do.
"However, new Center for American Progress analysis finds no evidence that National Guard deployments have reduced violent crime. Moreover, if these deployments are extended and continue through the end of 2026, they could cost American taxpayers more than $1.7 billion."
