Trump decided to make a diesel fuel deal with Russia after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky ignored half a dozen U.S. requests to stop attacking Russian oil refineries, a U.S. official with direct knowledge told Axios. www.axios.com/2026/10/10/t...

(in a very gender studies way) Ossoff and AES are interesting to many men---perhaps especially among suburban centrist men---because they represent being fit, confident, smart, and principled. They keep their family out of it, stand up for their beliefs, and aren't afraid of displaying authority.

No idea whether it's organic or media trained in Ossoff's case, but there is something almost supernatural about watching someone let rip who is clear-eyed, articulate, and pissed *all* the way off. It really is a thing of beauty.

So many things wrong with this "deal," but also: it's not a "massive" amount. If we actually receive 1,800,000 tons of diesel from Russia, that's equivalent to: * 3.3 days of US consumption, or * 10 days of US *exports*. It's a drop in the bucket. We send more than that overseas every two weeks.

Trump announces that the U.S. will buy Russian oil. This is just a few weeks after Trump signed the Lindsey Graham Russia Sanctions bill, which authorized him to place 100% tariffs on countries that are the biggest importers of Russian oil/gas. Are we going to tariff ourselves now?

1/ What’s most interesting about this statement is Rubio’s open reference to the possibility the ICC could prosecute US political leaders.
STATEMENT BY SECRETARY MARCO RUBIO

October 9, 2026

 Imposing Sanctions on the International Criminal Court

For decades, Republicans and Democrats alike rejected the idea that the International Criminal Court had the power to prosecute American citizens, military servicemembers, or political leaders. America never joined the court. We don’t need it. And we don’t want it.

But globalist “experts” an ocean away don’t care what American citizens think. They want the ICC to do more, including the prosecution of American citizens. Servicemembers defending their country, Border Patrol agents protecting our nation, and elected leaders ensuring our national security. They want more power, and they want it at our expense. 

President Trump will never allow the International Criminal Court to prosecute Americans. That is why, today, the United States is sanctioning the International Criminal Court. We will ban transactions with this rogue court, cutting off their resources and crippling its ability to operate.

We have been clear for over a year as to the basic gestures of good faith we have expected from the court. We exercised discretion and deferred this designation out of respect for our relationships and in hopes that the ICC would change course or would otherwise be restrained by States Parties. However, neither the ICC nor States Parties have yet taken meaningful steps to address our concerns. 

Despite their inaction, we hold out hope for a diplomatic solution. We have structured this action to provide an opportunity for States Parties to negotiate and present a solution to address our concerns. If these efforts do not bear fruit, we will continue to adjust accordingly.

Our message is clear: the United States and its people are not subject to the jurisdiction of the ICC. Both parties agree on this, but only President Trump has the resolve to take the action needed to end this threat for good. Either the ICC will end its threats, or we will end the ICC. We expect ou…

Definitely. There’s a reason the U.S. never joined. But — hypocrisy alert — it has helped the ICC when deemed convenient (ie tackling Putin’s crimes). And the Trump admin has taken the attacks on the ICC to soaring new heights, just as it is arguably undermining intl law in creative new ways.

I'm sure things like this happened at times during "don't ask, don't tell," but it seems rather notable that the panel did so here and quickly, did so explicitly and in writing, and did so in this environment — both as in this administration and as in this broader anti-trans moment.
