Immediately after Ukraine took out two of the five data centers run by the Russian tech giant Yandex, pro-Trump and pro-MAGA posts on American social media sites plummeted. The same happened to posts boosting Germany's far-right AfD. Russia is engaged in MASSIVE election interference.

Not for free right? So, let's do the math. 500,000 metric tons of diesel is about $500 million. A million worth $1 billion dollars. This looks an aid program for Russia and an effective disabling of US sanctions. This strengthens the Kremlin and is a threat to US, allied interests.

Trump relaxing sanctions on Russia to import oil to America to reduce diesel costs is like FDR announcing in 1939 that he is importing coal from Germany to bring down heating costs.

❗️The US Treasury says OFAC is issuing a temporary license allowing Russian diesel onto the global market at Trump’s direction. The move comes weeks after Trump signed the Lindsey Graham Russia Sanctions Act, which threatens tariffs on countries buying significant Russian oil and gas. #Russia

Theatre of the absurd! Trump announces US will buy diesel from russia even though he signed a law mandating sanctions for any country buying russian energy. Meanwhile russia actually has a diesel export ban because they can’t meet domestic demand.

Buying Russian diesel will not moderate global diesel prices substantially (for obvious reasons). Also, for example, China and India produce more diesel than Russia. Russia was the one choice where buying the diesel violates our sanctions and undermines our national interests/Ukraine security.

Emerson College poll currently show Dems with a double-digit edge over the GOP.  The implied shift is about 13.6 percentage points towards Democratic candidates.  

This means any Republican seat won by less than 13.6 points in 2024 is a mathematically vulnerable seat in 2026!
