I guess I’m in the minority for focusing on how Trump’s oil deal helps Putin while most are focused on how little it helps US oil/diesel prices.

One of my former students just witnessed this on Orange Line in the DC Metro - ICE/HSI abducting someone from the platform of Stadium-Armory. She was scared. She didn’t know what to do. She shouted “ICE is here!” to warn others. I’m proud she did that. And she bore witness.

Zelensky accused Trump of reaching agreements with Putin “behind Ukraine’s back” while Kyiv’s delegation is in Florida. He said the US is giving Russia “additional money to wage war” and called Ukraine’s team a “smokescreen” for a decision that is “unfair” and “not partner-like.” #Ukraine

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.
