Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.

Trump started a stupid & illegal war in Iran that has driven up diesel prices. Now he wants to bankroll Putin's illegal war against Ukraine by buying diesel from him. One strategic disaster after the next. www.politico.com/news/2026/10...

Hegseth put Elon Musk and Anduril’s Palmer Luckey in charge of a Pentagon study on what weapons the military needs. Both sell to the Pentagon. Letting contractors shape their own market is corruption, and taxpayers get stuck with the cost. #CostOfTrumpsCorruption

Trump is holding the G7 at his own golf resort so he can shovel more money from the US treasury into his private pocket, and collect from other governments, too. This time no one says a word about it, even though everyone thinks it's record-breaking corruption and sleaze.

CBO analysis: The Iran war has cost the U.S. $38 billion as of August 1. That’s >$246 million per day, on average. CBO says the war has raised inflation and global energy prices, citing reduced traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, and says it’ll raise interest rates on treasuries.

Also: This ain’t much. US Beef *production* has been fairly stable for the last decade at ~27 BILLION pounds/year. (We export around 3 billion pounds) 300K metric tons is 600 million pounds. So this is about 2%, or the amount raised on federal leased BLM land, and/or about 8.5 DAYS of production.

We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he could not articulate, without a strategy for how to respond when Iran flexed its control over the Strait of Hormuz, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender. This is the "Forever War" Trump once railed about.

Variety: "As Panettiere told People, when she was only 15, someone on her team began plying her with “happy pills” before she walked red carpets. “They were to make me peppy during interviews,” Panettiere said. “I had no idea that this was not an appropriate thing, or what door that would open for me when it came to my addiction… As I got older, the drugs and alcohol became something I almost couldn’t live without.”
