Trump wrote on social media that Putin agreed to “immediately supply” more than 300,000 tons of diesel to global energy markets, with another 500,000 tons promised in November. Together, the amounts — equal to 6 million barrels of diesel fuel — would cover about a day and a half worth of US demand, according to the US Energy Information Administration.“We are talking PERHAPS a 5-6% increase in supply between now and year end,” Dan Pickering, founder and chief investment officer at Pickering Energy Partners, said about the the president’s announcement in an email.

“Bottom line — this is helpful but not a needle mover for global diesel markets,” Pickering said. “Sidenote — there is a reason Trump talked about volumes in tons instead of barrels. The tons number looks bigger to a general observer. This is more politics than a game changer.”

Corporate profits and tax revenues grew together until the Trump tax cuts. Now corporate profits are at an all-time high while tax receipts are at their lowest since 2021.

A BFD. As people get ready to fill their heating oil tanks for the winter, they learn it will cost 80% more than last year. Your early Christmas Gift from Trump and the Republican Party is that your Christmas present budget will now go to their friends in the oil business.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

Billionaire political spending was about $16 million in 2008. In 2026, it could reach $2–3 billion. Whatever your politics, that’s a staggering shift in who has the financial power to shape American elections.

Expect more radical abortion restrictions right after the midterms. Todd Blanche is hot to go on this issue, but the White House asked him to hold back until November. Trump knows Americans don't want this, but doesn't care about anything other than the election. www.rawstory.com/department-o...

My company, OgreAI, harvests the teeth of children in order to plant them and grow our army of ogres. Unfortunately, we are increasingly concerned that the ogres may break containment. The only solution is we need more children’s teeth to grow more ogres to prevent that from happening.

Under threats from Trump’s FCC chairman Brendan Carr, Jimmy Kimmel had to put his interview with James Tallarico on YouTube. Yet Trump is free to use taxpayer money to run political ads on Fox.

Here's a graphic that does a better job of conveying the point than my original post: even by the (insane) standards of the first Trump administration, #SCOTUS is receiving—and granting—a truly unprecedented number of applications for emergency relief from the federal government:
A chart that shows the number of emergency applications filed and granted by the Supreme Court during each presidency dating back to George W. Bush, with the data annualized to show the far-higher frequencies since 2017, but especially during the Trump I and Trump II administrations.

Doesn’t look like Trump tried too hard to reach an agreement on AI. Keep in mind, Trump says we have to go full speed ahead building data centers because we have to “beat China.” CURRENT DATA CENTER COUNT: 🇺🇸 United States: 5,427 🇨🇳 China: 449 We’re already ahead by more than 12 to 1

One of my most galaxy-brained takes is that politicians and political groups should talk more about workers’ share of national income. It's one of the clearest, simplest ways to describe how billionaires and corporate elites captured so much of the economy--and something policy can change.

U.S. workers' share of national income falls to a new low
Labor's bargaining position has worsened markedly in the last half-decade.
