Donald Trump made a deal with Putin for 36 million barrels of Russian diesel, but that amount won’t move US fuel prices lower. It’ll only fund Putin’s bloody war machine in Ukraine. Putin continues to play Trump like a fiddle.

Trump has gone too far. He needs to resign. Americans will never bow to Putin & his dictatorship. I grew up during the Cold War. Putin is the same ruthless former KGB head he has always been. My prayers are with President Zelensky and the Ukrainian people tonight.

Here's a graphic that does a better job of conveying the point than my original post: even by the (insane) standards of the first Trump administration, #SCOTUS is receiving—and granting—a truly unprecedented number of applications for emergency relief from the federal government:
A chart that shows the number of emergency applications filed and granted by the Supreme Court during each presidency dating back to George W. Bush, with the data annualized to show the far-higher frequencies since 2017, but especially during the Trump I and Trump II administrations.

Xi, an actual Communist leader who silences dissent, is slavishly adored by Trump. As for pretend communists in America, they are treated as enemies. I can’t wait for this sickness to end.

As a MO citizen who votes, it is appalling to have an AG and SOS colluding to push a highly gerrymandered map. If Republicans can't stand on their GOP policies to get votes and have to cheat to win, our Constitution is failing.

The MO Sec of State deliberately delayed certifying the lawful citizen petition, even after county clerks verified the voter signatures in the spring. He used the unlawful District map on Aug 4. Malfeasance should not trump state's rights. I hope the MO Supreme Court decision prevails.

As a Missourian, I am quite upset. We have a secretary of state and attorney general that conspired to delay certification of a citizen petition that, once certified, made the extremely gerrymandered map illegal. 1/2

There is no way a small business is " looking through this right now". What a place of privilege she must come from to be so out of touch with small business owners.

Why she thinks that the possibility of losing yet another district representative is a win for Missouri is just shortsighted. We will lose funding for so many things. The more she opens her mouth, the more respect I lose for her

Well a lot has happened in 4 days here in Missouri. The Supreme Court stepped in a second time and all nine justices refused to take the case. Our MO Supreme Court has ruled strictly along Missouri Constitution laws that the 2022 district map is the only legal map and must be used.

Missouri resident, BS/BFA, I am pleased with the outcome. My hope is that SCOTUS will not take the case. Voters initiatives are legislatively carved out to be rendered meaningless for over 20 years. The GOP only show attention when an election is in progress. We are fed up.

The intimidation by their presence, in light of their illegalities, murders and lack of due process, makes this the most undemocratic action of this administration. May they lose all their money, be ostracized & have to "pull themselves up by their bootstraps" in the waning days of their work life.

Mail in voting was so important to my housebound mother when she reached her 80s. She read the newspapers, magazines, watched Meet the Press, This Week, & Face the Nation. She never missed an election. These regulations would disenfranchise her access to voting. It is very wrong.

$4 BILLION. That’s how much the Trump Administration has now spent paying companies to cancel offshore wind projects that would have lowered your electric bill. Yes, you heard that right: they are PAYING to keep more energy off the grid and your bills higher.

It was the fifth such deal struck by the administration to get companies to drop offshore wind projects.
