The first Russian diesel cargo heading for the US left St Petersburg on September 22, two weeks *before* Trump announced the deal with Putin, Windward reports. The Greek-flagged tanker Minerva Zen carrying 275,000 barrels of diesel/gasoil is due at the US East Coast around 11–12 October.

“He’s gotta resign. … We have to let our own people and everybody else know why it had to be done—because of what’s on the tape, because he lied.” — White House speechwriter Patrick J. Buchanan to White House chief of staff Alexander M. Haig, August 2, 1974

THIS WAS MONEY FOR CHILDREN’S HEALTHCARE. A Florida grand jury found $10 MILLION meant to help provide health insurance for poor children was misappropriated for political purposes. Moody & DeSantis took money meant for kids. #GOPWarOnHealthcare

Day 5 since Pro-Publica reported on Susan Collins corrupt operation trading campaign cash for federal contracts. What’s been her response? She’s running the Trump playbook. Claiming to be the victim of a vast conspiracy by the media and Democrats. No remorse, no apology, no accountability.

Target paid its CEO $21.8M last year — 794x the median Target worker's pay of $27,506. Target has also spent $13.9B on stock buybacks since 2019, while remaining among the largest employers of Medicaid and SNAP recipients in America. This is what I mean by a rigged economy.

It’s crucially important to keep noting that the debt/GDP ratio <declined> during Joe Biden’s presidency, bc this renewed debt hysteria is 100% a test balloon for the media re-running the “we can’t afford that” playbook once Democrats control Congress again & propose any new non-defense spending.

“Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention [to] his 500 days of corruption… But this is why Trump is not fixing America’s problems: he’s too busy rigging the rules for himself. Once corruption becomes normal, it becomes permanent. We cannot let that happen.” @chrismurphyct.bsky.social
Trump corruption iceberg meme: The Trump corruption we already know is the tip of the iceberg. Corruption we haven’t seen yet is much bigger, and the MAGA ship is about to crash into that iceberg.

“If you read or share only one article today, make it this: HOW TRUMP HAS POCKETED $1,408,500,000 … Historically, one thing that has helped bring down authoritarians is public awareness of their use of power of the office for self-enrichment.” @leahmcelrath.bsky.social
