New primer about the news from the last few hours that the US is getting back to business with Russia. This is not Trump being erratic, it is not about diesel, it is not a small move. It is about the US moving to a more active position of helping Putin. phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/this-is-ab...

Actor Keegan Allen was beaten & robbed at gunpoint in West Hollywood, then immediately took to social to blame Karen Bass. I’m sorry this happened to him, but W. Hollywood is its own city, patrolled by the LA County Sheriff’s Department. Karen Bass isn’t the mayor of WeHo. Wrong city. Wrong mayor.

Ukraine will receive specialized F-16 ammunition from Finland in the coming days to intercept Russian jet-powered Shahed drones, President Zelensky announced after talks with Alexander Stubb. The transfer follows Helsinki's 35th defense aid package. www.kyivpost.com/post/86687

A humorous meme shows a figure labeled "PUTIN" walking confidently while holding a leash, with "Trump" crawling on all fours beside him. This visual metaphor plays on perceived power dynamics between the two public figures in a city setting.

I said it yesterday and I say it tomorrow: This is the betrayal of the brave Ukrainian people. Tonight, Putin killed again and Trump is now in direct connection with the warlord. And he left also his former allies behind. I hope, the US Military in our country is still committed to their oath.

One argument I make here is that if the Latino shift back to Dems holds, it's important for 2028. It's hard to see JD Vance winning back anything like Trump-2024 numbers among Latinos as long as Trump controls economic/immigration policy. So this shift could threaten MAGA's long-term viability too.

The power of the purse is Congress’s strongest check on the president. If a president can both spend money Congress refused to give him and refuse to spend money Congress ordered him to spend, Congress no longer has the spending power.

Russia can’t even produce enough diesel for its own needs! “Guardian analysis of port records and ship-tracking data found that in July and August over 176,000 tonnes of fuel, mostly diesel, was loaded at several South Korean ports on to seven tankers that made 14 voyages to Russia’s far east.“

So many things wrong with this "deal," but also: it's not a "massive" amount. If we actually receive 1,800,000 tons of diesel from Russia, that's equivalent to: * 3.3 days of US consumption, or * 10 days of US *exports*. It's a drop in the bucket. We send more than that overseas every two weeks.
