The Trump administration is exploring a new concession to Russia: lifting sanctions on the country’s flagship government investment fund, long viewed by U.S. officials as one of the Kremlin’s most powerful tools of international influence. - NYT Concession after concession to Russia from the US, with zero concessions back from Russia. This isn't about ending the war at all, this is about corruption. Turns out "Russia, Russia, Russia" wasn't a hoax after all.

Trump is a sex criminal. He's been one for decades. I've published multiple books on his sexual depravities and penchant for sexual violence. Nothing in this horrifying report is a surprise. To vote for Trump or his party is to knowingly vote for monsters. yahoo.com/news/politics/arti…

BREAKING: Allies of failed Brazilian Presidential Candidate FlΓ‘vio Bolsonaro say the Trump administration is aware of him illegally fleeing from Brazil and that Trump intends to grant him political asylum after his election loss to Lula. He is reportedly en route to the US (Miami/Dallas area) with family, having missed a court deadline to surrender his passports amid a money-laundering probe.

Israel constantly presents itself as "the only democracy in the Middle East". But apartheid and intimidation of voters are fundamentally incompatible with democracy.
Israel is deliberately suppressing Arab voter turnout: Gov incitement at the highest levels Ben Gvir's police at Arab voting stations Election workers deliberately obstructing Arabs from voting Hebrew-only ballots at Arab voting stations Likud activists sent to film & intimidate Arab voters

The president and First Lady probably met through a pedophile sex trafficker and Trump faces a new allegation of rape today but it’s hardly making front page news
"The evidence, much of it still hiding behind redactions in DOJ vaults, shows that Trump lied about kicking Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club and strongly suggests that Epstein introduced Trump to his wife @MELANIATRUMP." democrats-judiciary.house.go…

"I never donated any money to the Trump campaign expecting anything in return," Trevor Milton told CBS News. "The pardon was out of the blue and not expected and was not tied to anything." Prosecutors said Milton should owe $660.8 million to victims of his fraud. He received a pardon from President Trump two weeks later. cbsnews.com/projects/2026/tr…

Completely daft take - The EU structure is based on localism. MEPs are allocated by region, then there’s regional funding designed to decentralise the support mechanisms (which was a huge help to Cornwall, Wales). Even with trade deals, regions get a say (unlike with UK).
Most fundamentally, if you arrive in a Downing Street promising to pass power down from the centre to the people, but instead pass it up to Brussels, you aren’t Mr Localism any more.

Hunter Biden was investigated for 4 years because he had a job. His laptop was the biggest controversy of the entire administration and all they found on it was drug use and prostitution. Jared Kushner is selling America to the highest bidder and securing business deals using the country as leverage and Congress doesn't even care enough to check his cell phone. Maybe it's not about corruption after all.

Remember when Republicans crucified Hunter Biden for selling a painting - but when Jared Kushner launders hundreds of millions of dollars he raked in from Azerbaijan & kept in a secret Dubai bank account to bribe a warlord, a mercenary & a hit man - not a fucking word.

Imagine being a CEO of an US energy company and thinking that you work with close associates of the Trump family, only to find out that behind them is a sanctioned Russian company, really pulling the strings. This happened in Alaska. Polar Train LNG's CEO, Joel Riddle, stepped down after finding out that the Russian "Novatek" company, which is under US sanctions, has been involved in a $25 billion energy project in Alaska. The CEO thought that he was working with Gentry Beach, a close friend of Donald Trump Junior. Reportedly, that project was also discussed between Witkoff and Jared Kushner when they were with Putin. The White House admitted that the project was talked about "briefly". We are witnessing the greatest corruption scandal the USA has ever witnessed. It all leads to Trump, his family and the Russians, and apparently they were even ready to sell riches of Alaska to the Russians. The people in Alaska just need to look over to Russia, where the richest regions in terms of minerals and hydrocarbon resources have been stripped-mined, transferring all the wealth to Moscow and Saint Petersburg and leaving a scarred landscape in extreme poverty. That is the result of rampant corruption. We are starting to see more details why Trump and his friends are trying so strongly to bully Ukraine into surrender. This is most certainly only the tip of the iceberg.

A top GOP official accidentally said on a hot mic, "If Netanyahu loses reelection in Isreal, and Democrats in the US win subpoena power in both Chambers of Congress, all I can say is Jared Kushner is completely, totally, utterly, and historically, spectacularly fucked."

Jared Kushner should be in jail.
According to the book, Kushner got Tillerson fired for a $50 million UAE payment because Tillerson supported Qatar. This panicked Qatar because they realized Kushner was a pay-to-play operative, so they bought Kushner's New York City apartments, which were in the red, hoping this would help.
