LOL: Right wing media released a Jack Smith (Vol II) document showing he put a pen register on Susie Wiles' phone. He did that b/c Trump showed her a very highly classified document. Wonder if @knightcolumbia.org knows the White House violated Judge Cannon's order. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/11/u...

How the White House Manufactured a Narrative About a Trump Aide’s Call Logs

A release of selected records from the classified documents inquiry is a case study in how omitting context can create political ammunition.

A devastating loss to international diplomacy. Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have put their planned trip to Moscow on hold until they determine whether Ukraine and European countries are willing to support a new unified peace proposal for Putin, Axios reports.

🚨 Seven US senators from both parties say Trump broke the law by greenlighting Russian diesel imports, pointing to a 2022 ban meant to stop American $$ from bankrolling Russia's war & accusing regime of skipping Congress entirely. Russian blood diesel ship ETA in 3 hours at Wilmington, NC! 🧵

Ranking Member Shaheen and
Six Bipartisan Senators' Statement on Legality of Imports of Russian Diesel Fuel
WASHINGTON - Today, U.S. Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Susan Collins (R-ME), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Thom Tillis (R-NC) and John Curtis (R-UT) issued a statement regarding the legality of Russian diesel fuel imports to the United States.
"Congress explicitly banned Russian energy imports in 2022 to prevent American dollars from financing Putin's brutal war against Ukraine. Congress was clear: the U.S. should not import oil from Russia until it ends its aggression against Ukraine and ceases threats against our NATO Allies.
"President Trump's decision to allow Russian diesel imports to the U.S. runs directly counter to that law. The Administration has also failed to consult with Congress or submit any explanation to justify its decision as required by statute.
"The United States should not provide Putin with a financial lifeline while Russia continues to kill Ukrainian civilians. The Administration must immediately reverse course."

So according to Russian media, Putin conveyed to Trump the Iranian proposal to end the war. This is laughable considering Russia wants the U.S. in this war. Also didn’t Trump tell us 100 times he won the war. So what is there to discuss?

Ukraine blows up Russian data centres and immediately and mysteriously online talk about Germany’s Far Right AfD virtually disappears. Stop Putin you stop the Far Right.
