The Lindsey Graham Act would have imposed significant new sanctions on Russia from 18 October, but allowed the President to issue waivers. He just did. To avoid screaming, I went through every provision explaining them and indicating which he waived. Spoiler: All the ones that did anything.

Really speaks to the impotence of Congress that the president thinks he can simply sign an executive order invalidating a law that Congress passed -- and he signed -- just a few months ago. At worst, SCOTUS might slap his hand months or years from now -- well after the damage has been done.

Trump and Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" is promoting its pink Bible for Breast Cancer Awareness month in October. No mention of any proceeds going to charity. $74.99 preview.mailerlite.io/emails/webvi...

Honor her fight. Celebrate her strength. Remind her she’s never alone. 	View in browser 
	

	
Give Her Something to Hold Onto

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month—a time to honor the fighters, celebrate the survivors, remember those we’ve lost, and stand beside the women still in the battle.

The Pink Edition of the God Bless The USA Bible makes a meaningful gift for someone whose life has been touched by breast cancer.

Wrapped in beautiful pink with elegant gold details, it’s more than a Bible. It’s a reminder of faith when days are difficult, hope when the road feels uncertain, and the strength that comes from knowing you’re never walking alone.

Whether she’s recently been diagnosed, undergoing treatment, celebrating years cancer-free, or carrying the memory of someone she loves, give her a gift that speaks straight to the heart.

This October, give the gift of faith. Give the gift of hope. Give Pink.

Trump's family has pocketed $3 billion in cash and gifts since the 2024 election. Much of that came from crypto schemes as he deregulated the industry. That money could pay for a full year of SNAP benefits for 1.3 million people, or more than 600 million free school lunches. Second Gilded Age.
