It's already illegal. Congress banned it near-unanimously in 2022. That law allows the ban to be lifted only if Russia withdraws from Ukraine. He's simply breaking the law that's already on the books.
David S. Bernstein @dbernstein.bsky.social · 15h agoRepublican US Rep Brian Fitzgerald tweets that he will introduce a bill to block purchases of Russian oil. Don Bacon (R-Neb) tweets that he will co-sponsor. Obviously this won’t happen during campaigning recess (and Trump could veto anyway) but interesting push-back on Trump.

Trump’s deal to buy Russian diesel from Putin just weeks before the midterms funnels money directly into Russia’s war machine. Trump is now facing calls for Congress to block the deal and impeach him. Meanwhile, energy analysts say it’s unlikely to even make a dent in fuel prices.

As Trump gifts Putin a financial and propaganda victory, let's take a moment to remember all those British politicians who have endorsed the US President and repeatedly hitched themselves to his egregious bandwagon.

A fascinating editorial decision from the BBC, to make the headline a scaremongering “AUTISM AND ADHD ARE BEING OVERDIAGNOSED”, and then, four bullet points later, have the author of the report quoted as essentially saying “nah, that’s bullshit, actually”.

And again: if this is how careless the police are with a case this high profile, why would you imagine they'll be any more diligent when applying for warrants to open proles' private communications?
Reuters@reuters.com · 3d agoBritish police said that the search warrants for properties linked to King Charles' younger brother, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, were granted incorrectly and must be quashed reut.rs/4yCLPVz
If the police are this careless when seeking a warrant to investigate *a member of the royal family*, *in connection with the Epstein files*, why should we imagine they're any more diligent when asking for access to our personal communications?
This is such a depressingly foolish direction to take. English, in its various forms, may be a global lingua franca, but that also means it is a thin veneer.If you can only engage with non-Anglophone countries in English, you can barely scratch the surface, culturally and personally.

www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cj... What I find sad is that this is just another day in the life of consumers: security incidents that leak data that they had secured with MFA and good passwords. But the companies they trusted did none of that . And that’s why no one listens to cyber awareness training
Asos says customers' personal information 'may have been accessed' after message from hackers

Why is 🇺🇸 media not reporting on this 128 day Albanian protest of Kushner and Ivanka’s insane corruption?
This is by design. Not privacy by design. But a lack of privacy by design.

Israel is a rogue state, knowingly and avowedly committing crimes against humanity. Its ministers say so.
Mark Chadbourn@chadbourn.bsky.social · 6d agoIsraeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: “The thorough cleansing that we are carrying out now in southern Lebanon is unprecedented. “They have nowhere to return to. Look at how it looks. “And by the way, the world isn’t stopping us.”
Given its origins, structure and leadership, there is no reason to believe RefUK will ever be fit for public service. You can polish a turd, but it will still be a turd.
Best for Britain@bestforbritain.org · 7d agoReform UK wants power. But the party is haemorrhaging the people it recruits, with councillors resigning, being suspended or quitting.

Every few years, for random reasons, I find myself reading something from the Book of Revelations, and every single time, I also find myself thinking "what the *#?! kind of psychoactive substances was John of Patmos mainlining, and why did anyone else listen to a single word?"
Also do the honest work of eliminating any trace of plagiarism in your beloved product. How? Not my fucking problem! If you can’t run your business / technology without stealing other people’s work, it deserves to die. Personally I’m happy to see it die, so don’t try to make it my responsibility.
Dear Scott, if you don't want US farmers to face diesel shortages, maybe you should let your president get into wars he can't get out of.
#HopeAgain Basic state pension is £9,614.80 per year. @andyburnham.bsky.social these are the people you're taking money from. The poorest. This country is morally disgusting, and you aren't making it any better.
