Trump just handed Putin a lifeline weeks before the midterms. Energy analysts say his Russian diesel deal won’t meaningfully lower prices. And a tanker that left Russia weeks before the announcement raises an even bigger question: How long was this in the works?

Trump Reopens U.S. Market to Putin’s Diesel — Consumers Get Little Relief
Days after the White House invoked an emergency to ease diesel costs, Trump promised Russia new fuel sales as analysts warned the arrangement is unlikely to move prices.

Trump's entire Presidency is just a smash and grab. Trump is just trying to steal as much money from his own idiot supporters and the American people as fast as possible before the entire country burns down.

Republicans gave corporations a huge tax cut. The deficit exploded again. Now they want to blow another massive hole by borrowing billions more for weapons to feed the endless series of Republican wars. The national credit card is maxed out while Republicans enrich themselves.

Attorneys for Christina Blasey Ford: "[Susan] Collins may claim to be a moderate, but she does not vote like one. And where Dr. Ford demonstrated tremendous courage, Sen. Collins has demonstrated that she will always place politics over principle." tinyurl.com/yb6pyx63 #MEpolitics
Press Herald article: "Collins justified her vote by explaining that she had met privately with Kavanaugh, who, in addition to denying the assault, assured her that he would honor precedent, including Roe v. Wade. She subsequently also told CNN that with regard to Dr. Ford’s sexual assault, “I do not believe that Brett Kavanaugh was her assailant. I do believe that she was assaulted. I don’t know by whom, and I’m not certain when, but I do not believe he was the assailant.”
This preposterous explanation, while politically expedient, was offensive not only to Dr. Ford but to survivors everywhere. Conveniently forgotten by Collins was Dr. Ford’s sworn testimony that she was “one hundred percent” certain that it was Kavanaugh who had assaulted her. Also ignored was the important fact that Dr. Ford had named Kavanaugh as her assailant to her friends, therapist and husband years before his nomination."
