UPDATE on Trump’s violation of a court order to stop airing taxpayer-funded campaign-style tv ads: the Govt’s excuse - "our lawyers accidentally missed the email.” It's beyond time for contempt in all cases where the Trump Regime is giving the middle finger to the courts. youtu.be/2pg_33uqafs?...

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

🚨 Seven US senators from both parties say Trump broke the law by greenlighting Russian diesel imports, pointing to a 2022 ban meant to stop American $$ from bankrolling Russia's war & accusing regime of skipping Congress entirely. Russian blood diesel ship ETA in 3 hours at Wilmington, NC! 🧵

United States Senate Committee on
FOREIGN RELATIONS
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 11, 2026
CONTACT:
James Nycz
Ranking Member Shaheen and
Six Bipartisan Senators' Statement on Legality of Imports of Russian Diesel Fuel
WASHINGTON - Today, U.S. Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Susan Collins (R-ME), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Thom Tillis (R-NC) and John Curtis (R-UT) issued a statement regarding the legality of Russian diesel fuel imports to the United States.
"Congress explicitly banned Russian energy imports in 2022 to prevent American dollars from financing Putin's brutal war against Ukraine. Congress was clear: the U.S. should not import oil from Russia until it ends its aggression against Ukraine and ceases threats against our NATO Allies.
"President Trump's decision to allow Russian diesel imports to the U.S. runs directly counter to that law. The Administration has also failed to consult with Congress or submit any explanation to justify its decision as required by statute.
"The United States should not provide Putin with a financial lifeline while Russia continues to kill Ukrainian civilians. The Administration must immediately reverse course."

Zelenskyy: While our teams are meeting in Florida, US President is having conversation with Kremlin leader responsible for this war. I believe they are simply using our team as a cover...clearly not acting in good faith as a partner. And this, in my view, is a weak decision from strong partners.

I think we may be heading towards a tipping point where leaders are finally getting the gumption to speak their minds about Trump. I'd argue that the benefits of flattery and biting your tongue were always weak. But, hey, better late than never.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

Canada is not actually 'battling for survival' in the context of secession, because in both Alberta and Quebec secession has relatively small amounts of public support. What we're battling is dipshit far-right populist politicians enabling/pushing for this destructive bullshit.

When a court instructs Epstein files be released, and they are not, and when a court instructs media be allowed into White House, but they are not, then your courts are irrelevant. You have no law, not for those in power. When a court says "Accept this vote" and it is not, what are you gonna do?
