1/ Trump's fuel deal with Russia will have two big advantages for Russian refinery operators, according to a Russian energy expert: it will help them to fund their own anti-drone defences, and also help to clear out their stocks of summer diesel in time for winter. ⬇️

4% increase in imports from Canada would easily replace the entire physical volume of diesel “negotiated” in the new US-Russia pact.

It never occurred to Trump that he could buy it directly from South Korea — but then, he wouldn’t be able to help Russia.

I have been thinking a lot about the dozens of people ICE has sent to what is now the Ebola outbreak zone, especially Adriana Zapata, and I really appreciate @melodyschreiber.com reporting this out. 🙏🙏🙏

It's not clear what happens next to refugees who were already moved against their will to countries affected by or near the outbreak. At least 37 people have been moved to these countries in recent months, according to Gillian Brockell, an independent journalist who tracks third-country removals by the US.

Brockell suspects US officials are using the travel ban as an excuse for not returning Zapata. Sending people in detention centers to African nations far from home is a common threat, Brockell said, "so to publicly take one of their main scare tactics off the table, they are only going to do that if it helps them in some way".

The US government has evacuated people from Ebola-affected regions before - including patients with active Ebola cases.
One of the world's leading experts on high-risk medical evacuations, the former state department official William Walters, is now an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) contractor, Brockell pointed out.

"The Trump administration could absolutely return Adriana Zapata to the US; telling the judge it can't be done just isn't true," she said.

Reporting tells us that there is no real National Security Council-led inter-agency process operating in the Trump
administration. They don't even have a full-time NSA! So that probably explains why
(1) the mission of the war is ill-defined, (2) the comms roll-out was a mess, and (3) they didn't think of all the second and third order effects of war because that memo was never written, let alone discussed in the WHSR, as would be the tradition of any past administration, Democratic or Republican.

I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children. This is learned today: Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%. www.npr.org/2026/03/11/n...

After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative.

The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools
