The United States is the world's largest exporter of diesel. There is no shortage of diesel in The US since Trump continues to allow its export. There is only the global price/market place. Trump buying Russian diesel does not increase supply and it will not make anything cheaper for anyone.

He’s a wrecking ball - I can’t think of a single Republican who could go toe to toe with him. This type of rhetorical talent is extremely rare.

Today we got access to a smoking gun document from ICE that shows how it is weaponized against progressive groups registering voters while building a voter suppression database.

Stripes: The armed forces are being forced to choose from a new condensed list of religious affiliation codes in their files: there were 180 possible religious affiliations, now there are 31, and 21 of those are Christian choices. They can still choose "no religion".

They all do this. Hitler lamented in April 1945 that the German people weren’t worthy of him, and said they deserved a harsh and bitter defeat.

Pretty clear Hegseth’s primary mission is to transform the military ideologically by overtly indoctrinating troops with Christian nationalism and apocalyptic holy war messaging while rooting out those who don’t want to participate and just want to serve their country admirably.
