just a casual reminder that inciting violence against his political opponents and others he dislikes has been a core feature of Donald Trump's approach for more than a decade. It is a defining characteristic of Trump and his movement, but rarely centered as such by corporate media.

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.

This is outrageous. Donald Trump just announced a deal with Vladimir Putin to import Russian diesel, and Treasury immediately lifted sanctions on Russian diesel exports through April. Those sanctions exist for one reason. They limit the money Putin can use to wage his brutal war on Ukraine.

UPDATE: Judge April Perry denies the government's bid to keep all of this under seal — including the attorney's signature block. "The government has also publicly disclosed … that there is an OPR investigation in this case."
MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: The Government's motion to seal 275 is denied. As already noted, the grand jury transcripts in this matter have already been made public - without any opposition from the Government. The Government has also publicly disclosed - in both court filings and open court - the fact that there is an OPR investigation in this case involving the prosecutors who were in the grand jury. See, e.g., Doc. 247 at 48-49. In addition to those two matters, the Government has also asked to seal the "Legal Principles" section of its motion, which sets forth basic principles of law, and the signature block of one of its attorneys. There is a presumption that materials that underpin a judicial decision are open to public inspection unless they meet very specific criteria. See Baxter Intern., Inc. v. Abbott Laboratories, 297 F.3d 544, 545 (7th Cir. 2002). No such criteria are present here. The Clerk of Court is directed to unseal 272 . Mailed notice. (jcc,) (Entered: 10/09/2026)

WASHINGTON - Yesterday, the U.S.
Department of War announced that the firing squad execution of Nidal Hasan, the man convicted of killing 13 people and injuring 32 at Fort Hood, Texas in 2009, would be publicly livestreamed. Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued the following statement sharply condemning the decision of the U.S. government:
"It is with shock and great sorrow that I have learned of the Department of War's decision to publicly livestream the execution of Nidal Hassan. Our God is the God of life. In no way can Hassan's actions be condoned but this decision is a barbaric promotion of a culture of death and must be reconsidered. The word of God exhorts us: 'do not repay anyone evil for evil' (Romans 12:17). The public execution even of one who has done grave harm will only further undermine the moral fabric of our nation and be a blight on the conscience of its people.United States

You have been robbed, and abandoned by your State Government. Your Governor is an incompetent thief who doesn't want to get involved. He just wants to get out of town with as much as he can steal, and then, lead a quiet life. The Somalians should not be allowed to get away with what they are doing. They view you as weak and stupid people. Fight back Minnesota, fight back! If you need, the Federal Government will come to your rescue.
Governor Tim Walz, and Mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Frey, must immediately ask for Federal help - and leave the rest to us!
