It saddens me to think that it took gas prices for Republicans to leave Trump and not that his name is in the Epstein files 38,000 times.

Senator Tammy Duckworth: "Putin told Iran the locations of our warships. Today, Trump rewarded him by lifting sanctions and allowing American dollars to fuel Russia’s war machine. Our troops are in harm’s way, and the President cut a deal with the adversary putting a target on their backs."

Holding a public execution would put the United States in the category of Iran, Afghanistan, North Korea and Somalia. There were 17 public executions around the world last year confirmed by Amnesty International, 6 in Afghanistan and 11 in Iran.

Trump loves a spectacle—a military parade down DC streets, the biggest fireworks display ever, a cage match on the South Lawn. Now his administration plans another unprecedented exhibition, but with a macabre twist: livestreaming a firing squad execution. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/u...

For Trump, a Firing Squad on Livestream Becomes the Latest Spectacle

JPM, on oil and the tanker crisis: “October is beginning to look a lot like April. .. The problem is not simply how many tankers are available, but how efficiently they can be used. .. If freight costs rise beyond what refiners can economically absorb, refinery runs .. will eventually decline.”

We need this country to start throwing bricks and lighting things on fire when laws are disregarded by courts. Asking people to “please vote” when the other side plans on fascism means you’re already lost.

I think everyone is misreading the Diesel deal, according Trump too much agency. Putin got Trump to say something INSANELY stupid, no doubt in hopes of all the bribes on the table. This will solve none of the problems Trump caused the US. en.kremlin.ru/events/presi...
Statement by President of Russia Vladimir Putin
October 9, 202622:50
During the October 9 telephone conversation with US President Donald Trump, considerable focus was on prospects for settling the Ukraine crisis, while the situation surrounding Iran and various aspects of bilateral relations were touched upon as well.

When discussing the state of affairs in the global energy market, the Russian side confirmed its willingness to supply oil and petroleum products to the US market and global markets at large. I am convinced this will have a positive impact on the entire global economy.

An agreement was reaffirmed to maintain personal contacts between the presidents of the two countries and to continue cooperation across their respective administrations, security services, and agencies.

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.

Trawl fishing catches huge amounts of seafood. It can also devastate the seafloor
Trawling is a fishing method using large nets to catch fish and shellfish in bulk. Bottom trawls scrape the seafloor for species such as cod and shrimp, while pelagic trawls target fish higher in the water.
