So according to Russian media, Putin conveyed to Trump the Iranian proposal to end the war. This is laughable considering Russia wants the U.S. in this war. Also didn’t Trump tell us 100 times he won the war. So what is there to discuss?

Scott Bessent started the “Blame Ukraine, not Trump’s War” Big Lie on Sept 5th, it looks like—Trump and other cabinet members doubling down three days later is when & why I started my Refinery Wars spreadsheet and graphing to debunking it
Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refineries against Brent Crude and US diesel prices by month, January 2021 - August 2026
Data sources: Ukrainian refinery strikes collected by Kostiantyn Hoholenko on Bluesky Brent Crude daily prices from Business Insider Markets
US diesel weekly prices from US Federal Reserve Database (FRED)

(Oil and fuel prices spike when Russia invades Ukraine in late February 2022, trend steadily down again as Ukraine sends drones against Russian refineries in increasing numbers, then spike once more when the US attacks Iran in late February 2026)Pie chart showing days of US Average Diesel Prices as a Percentage of Brent
Crude Highs Jan 1, 2019 - Sept 30, 2026 (2812 consecutive days) from US Federal Reserve & Business Insider data

5% ratio = 66.7% 
4 & 6 % = 30.8%
3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11% combined = 2.4%

Axios writer: I melted my brain with AI. Not only can I no longer read, but I don't even understand the purpose of reading anymore. Here's how you can also do this. www.axios.com/2026/08/11/r...
Axios: AI has become my reading buddy as I've plowed through my summer book list, helping me keep track of plots and characters, unpack themes, and make sense of wordy, old prose.

Why it matters: The way many of us actually read books — a few pages before bed, a chapter at the beach, another on a plane — makes it easy to lose the thread. AI can help you pick it back up without starting over.
📖 I really got into using AI while reading James Fenimore Cooper's "The Last of the Mohicans." The text was far too dense for casual vacation reading. My first prompt asked:

"I'd like a guide as I read The Last of the Mohicans who can help me understand what I've read and where the story is, without giving spoilers or getting ahead of my progress. Can you do this, chapter by chapter?"
The robot agreed: "Cooper's sentences are long and his diction is archaic."

Trump's social media post on munitions is bizarrely contradictory. If the "leaks" aren't true--which means they aren't leaks-- there's nothing treasonous and no "jail sentences" to be sought. He implies the leaks aren't true. In a democracy, "leaking" false info can't prosecuted.

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.
Replying to 
@JenniferJJacobs
The shooting happened on the level above the ballroom where the White House Correspondents Association dinner was. 
I don't think people hearing about this -- or even those of us in the room -- realized how far from the president, VP and other guests this incident was. It was on another floor, up some stairs and several sets of security away. 
Because the Washington Hilton's hotel and other public spaces were open for other functions, the entire building wasn't secured by the Secret Service, just the specific areas where the WHCA dinner was held, law enforcement officials told @CBSNews
