Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

Zelenskyy warned that allowing Russia to sell millions of tons of diesel to global markets would help fund its war against Ukraine, responding to Trump’s announcement of the proposed deal. “Gifts to Putin will not bring peace,” Zelenskyy said. buff.ly/SXrvYnA

While on this - I am aware that Russia only has limited resources and this is not a huge deal; but the message it sends Putin and his cronies is clear: We can look past you killing civilians if you're willing to give us a PR win.

July 31: Russia is sharing intelligence with Iran to launch assaults on US troops October 9: Trump is doing a diesel deal with Russia (which can now use that money to provide intelligence to Iran in launching assaults on US troops)

EXCLUSIVE * FOR SUBSCRIBERS IRAN WAR Russia is sharing valuable electronic intel with Iran, officials say, as U.S. war drags on Russian satellite surveillance and signals intelligence are likely allowing Iran to better defend itself against U.S. airstrikes and refine its own aerial assaults, officials said.Donald J. Trump O @realDonaldTrump

a 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, and 1,000,000 Tons immediately thereafter. Additionally, based on the condition of their Diesel Refineries, Russia will then deliver, within a short period of time, 3,000,000 Tons of Diesel Fuel. Between our TOTAL CONTROL of the Strait of Hormuz, and this great announcement on Russian Energy, Diesel Prices for Americans and, indeed, the World, will be COMING DOWN, IN RECORD NUMBERS, AND FAST! Lower prices for Americans, especially our Great Farmers, Ranchers, and Truckers, is my Greatest Priority. This is a very big and important announcement. Additionally, it must be understood, that Iran will not have a Nuclear Weapon! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP 117 ReTruths 323 Likes

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 think this analysis is correct. Reports out of Russia for the last six weeks show huge diesel shortages and long lines of cars trying to get it. Russia doesn't have the diesel Trump says he's buying for them. This is all for another purpose, which is psy ops.

Hegseth also removed the olive branches, a traditional symbol of wishing peace, from the Department of Defense seal. This, in addition to changing the name to "The Department of War," shows the dangerous belligerency that comes from appointing a frat bro who values testosterone over statesmanship.
