As FT's reporting makes clear, the sole role played by Kushner and Witkoff throughout this process has been to advocate whatever Putin seeks, while helping themselves to lucrative private commercial deals he offers up. www.ft.com/content/7fd4...

Trump’s deal to buy Russian diesel from Putin just weeks before the midterms funnels money directly into Russia’s war machine. Trump is now facing calls for Congress to block the deal and impeach him. Meanwhile, energy analysts say it’s unlikely to even make a dent in fuel prices.

This is completely outrageous and disgusting. This must immediately be blocked by Congress and Trump should be impeached for this. The US is now funding Putin’s war machine as he murders civilians including children. We are lost as a country.

How did Jane Eyre, the novel that inspired the Texas Bronte Club to form in 1855, get banned in 2026? A new Texas law — SB 13 law — inspired some school disctricts to place restrictions on anything written for adults, including classics: pen.org/jane-eyre-banned-in-texas #BannedBooksWeek
This image is a promotional poster for Banned Books Week 2026. It features a partially blurred portrait of Charlotte Brontë alongside the cover of "Jane Eyre." The text discusses how certain Texas districts have restricted books written for adults, highlighting "Jane Eyre" as an example. A quote from Suzanne Trimel, Senior Advisor at PEN America, is included, advocating for young readers having access to advanced literature.

ICE continues to terrorize our communities with zero accountability; this time in New York, they shot a man with his 5-year-old child in the car. ICE must be reined in before more senseless violence continues. ICE must not get another dime until reforms. The violence must end.

The rise in inflation on everyday goods came entirely from Trump’s tariffs, New York Fed research found. New analysis shows the tariffs raised consumer prices by 2.9% by February. Without the tariffs, prices on the goods studied would’ve fallen.

WHOA. This is big news. Mr. Soliman is a 31-year-old gay man from Egypt who came here at 3 with a green card. He lost his green card after a conviction, but an immigration judge found that he would be persecuted in Egypt and barred sending him there. He's locked in a hotel in Equatorial Guinea now.
A federal judge has ordered the Department of Homeland Security to return Ahmed Soliman to the United States, five months after he was expelled to Equatorial Guinea, a country where he has no ties, in a decision that could have far-reaching implications for thousands of others subjected to the Trump administration’s third-country removal scheme.

Arizona District Court Judge John C. Hinderaker, a Trump appointee, ruled that DHS violated the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment and “must facilitate Plaintiff’s release from custody in Equatorial Guinea and return to the United States and must ensure his case is handled as it would have been had he not been improperly sent to Equatorial Guinea.”
