First, reportedly, Russian diesel has already reached our shores (see attached from @olgalautman.bsky.social 👇). It won’t make a dent in price; it’s performative. Of more significance, this was clearly a pre-planned stunt between two crooks. bsky.app/profile/olga... …
Olga Lautman 🇺🇦@olgalautman.bsky.social · 2d agoThis is so sick. So a Russian blood diesel vessel is on its way to NC set to arrive tomorrow. It left St Petersburg on Sept 22nd. This Trump-Putin plan has been in the works for weeks can’t picture what allies America will have left after this

JR: I don't know how I could have made it any plainer that I did not want what has happened to happen. I have given the government every single benefit of the doubt that it would not do precisely what it has done

Trump brought more destruction to DC this weekend, ordering the cutting of 400 mature trees before courts could stop it. Same tactic as when he knocked down the East Wing. Riverbend Landscapes & Tree Service of VA did the cutting. They knew it was wrong. And you can let them know how you feel. 1/
