The most obvious consequence of the diesel deal appears to be that Trump will likely suspend the intelligence sharing that Ukraine needs to attack Russian oil refineries. I assume Kyiv can still manage something here without the US, but it will undoubtedly be less. www.ft.com/content/7fd4...

Trump has picked a side in the Russia Ukraine war. News organizations should make that clear. And every single Republican running for office should be forced to answer whether they, too, support Russia, and how much of Ukraine Russia should be allowed to rule.

Trump’s plan to save the midterms is…help Russia. The Trump-Vance-Kushner-Witkoff approach to the war has always been weaken Ukraine so they bow down to Putin. It hasn’t worked. With nearly two years of this, Ukraine has shown it can thwart ground offensives and strike Russian oil without US help.

It's already estimated that the richest 1% alone evade $163 billion in taxes every year. But Trump gutted the IRS — including the unit tasked with auditing billionaires. The agency's audit revenue fell 35%. Now, Trump's IRS is not publishing data on unpaid taxes. See the problem?

Inhumane civil confinement violates Due Process if officials manifest “deliberate indifference” or the conditions are “punitive.” Judge Kaplan found both. Evidence suggested that “harsh conditions” were “a deliberate feature” to incentivize self-deportation. 5/5
Asthis Court explained when it issued the PI, the administration's actions with respect
to noncitizens illegally present in the country and the conduct by ICE staff and contractors at 26 Fed
"suggest that harsh conditions of confinement are a deliberate feature" of the administration's massdeportation program 49 That conclusion has been reinforced by passage of time and the full development of the record. Since this Court issued the PI, the administration has continued to
attempt to detain and deport as many noncitizens illegally present in the country as possible, as fast
as possible, and with as little procedure as possible. Part of that program has been its self-deportation
project, which, as the administration has described it, "offers illegal aliens a choice: leave voluntarily with [flederal support and financial assistance or face strict enforcement and penalties. '500 That the
harsh conditions of confinement at 26 Fed are one aspect of this "strict enforcement and penalties" is supported by the fact that ICE has papered walls and windows on the fifth, ninth, and tenth floors with flyers asking detainees, "Do You want to Return Home?" and incentivizing them with money to "[a]sk[] to return home now." These flyers serve as an ever-present visual reminder of the
Hobbesian choice posed to detainees and described by an ICE officer at 26 Fed: self-deport or
"remain detained" for years.

No changes of clothes. Clogged toilets. Inadequate food. Inadequate menstrual products. No medical staff at night. Asthma attacks. Withdrawals. Dementia. Inadequate medical screening. A detainee held for 6 days at peak overcrowding later tested positive for tuberculosis. 4/5
The medical precautions and care ICE provided to detainees during the summer of
2025 also was inadequate.
To begin, ICE regularly detained in the hold rooms individuals who were unfit for
detention in such crowded conditions or for detention at all. For example, at the peak of the overcrowding in early July 2025, ICE held a detainee who subsequently tested positive for tuberculosis for six days in the tenth-floor hold rooms.? ICE on those days held at least 70 and at
most 170 detainees across the four hold rooms, thus exposing some significant number of people every day to that detainee in extremely close quarters?

When Trump launched “the largest deportation operation in the history of our country” without ICE facilities to accommodate it, inhumane overcrowding was inevitable. Judge Kaplan’s 9/24 ruling shows the results. Diagrams simulating a NYC holding cell in Aug 2025 look like slave ships. 1/5
