😬 Katie Zacharia's first press briefing was brutally bad 😬 Trump managed to find a press secretary who can barely read, but she does have the number one qualification -- looking like Ivanka Here's a supercut from Zacharia's first briefing, which made Karoline Leavitt seem like Ronald Reagan

St. Sabina Catholic Church in Chicago has placed more than 100 crosses outside the parish. Each bears the name of someone who died in ICE custody or during an immigration enforcement action. Union workers built the traveling memorial, which began at Holy Name Cathedral last month.

Russia attacks a Ukrainian powerplant, violating the energy ceasefire. Trump responds by threatening to cut Ukraine’s arms, not Russia. Ukraine says it’s ready to stop hitting refineries. Russia signals it isn’t. draw your own conclusions.

The first Russian diesel cargo heading for the US left St Petersburg on September 22, two weeks *before* Trump announced the deal with Putin, Windward reports. The Greek-flagged tanker Minerva Zen carrying 275,000 barrels of diesel/gasoil is due at the US East Coast around 11–12 October.

Yesterday we made the fascinating discovery that the bulk of the MAGA troll army operates out of a Russian intelligence service mill located inside the Yandex supercomputer center in Vladimir. The Ukrainians bombed it, and suddenly the troll army simply went silent.

While a lot is being said about a potential deal for Russia to supply more diesel, it may be difficult to achieve. The psychological impact may reduce prices temporarily but it’ll take more time to determine if Russia has such ability. Some impact short term, perhaps 10-20c/gal.
