🔥🛢️Russia’s Syzran oil refinery is burning following an overnight drone attack, around 800 km from the front line. The facility has a processing capacity of 8.5 million tonnes of crude oil per year.
This time, the fire appears not to have spread through the entire Wildberries logistics complex in Krasny Bor near St Petersburg, leaving only part of the warehouse burned.

How Tehran Is Convincing US That War Is Costlier Than Iran’s Demands
The message from Tehran is that unless Washington accepts a new status quo that gives Iran a greater role in Hormuz, the conflict could spread beyond the Gulf

“Do you think it’s fair your office is still getting paid while Kentuckians go without representation?” This is the right Q from @cheering4change. Not only is it unfair, if he’s dead or incapacitated it should be a crime. (Fraud, racketeering, etc) #MissingMitchMcconnell

Not at all clear that the narrowing of the IRS claims waiver in the Trump settlement is "binding." That's simply Blanche's interpretation at this point. Nothing to stop other Trump family members, affiliates, trusts, etc., from claiming they can rely on the original wording

"Were Republican officials to credit reports about Miller’s unfitness, they would essentially be taking sides against Trump & GOP identity itself. To admit the accusations require moral action is to admit all those things the media has been saying about Trump might also be true. That is unendurable"

So Foxnews spent weeks talking about the “vandals” destroying the reflecting pool. Now the the Govt has admitted that Trump hired terrible contractors who screwed it up and dropped the charges against the “vandal” our friends at Fox have no coverage of that fact.
So Tillis and Cornyn thought the 1.8. Billion dollar slush fun was so bad, that they will be willing to confirm the guy who came up with it. Huh
MSNow brings on Scott MacFarlane to fact check Trump during his Oval Office remarks: This is not a popular fund, as the president claims. I've yet to find any Republican in congress who champions serves as a surrogate for the slush fund.
MacFarlane: But Jeanine Pirro has got another concern besides the president's endorsement or his non-endorsement. She has got to keep people working for her. They have had enormous turnover in that office. They were in a staff shortage situation last year.
The President promotes Scotts Miracle-Gro in the middle of an Oval Office event: The best grass you can get. Scotts, you know Scotts? Scott's Miracle-Gro, they're doing it. They do great grass. I got to give him a plug because they did the White House for free.
