Ten years ago today.
In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine, hampering the country's defenses during a devastating Russian attack; and Trump waived sanctions on Russia that Congress, led by his late friend Lindsey Graham, had pushed for.
Now, Putin has proposed a summit with Trump and Xi to decide Ukraine’s fate for them, bulldoze a century of international cooperation, and frame Russia as an equal to the U.S. and China.
We’ll see if Putin’s puppet continues to dance on his strings.

My first job in news was as @amanpour’s intern. I was in awe of her, but she made me feel seen from day one. She sought my thoughts in editorial mtgs & taught me lessons in journalistic integrity I carry today.
She helped shape the journalist I became. I’ll always be grateful.

I ran FoxNews.com for a decade, and this pains me to write.
Kimberly Guilfoyle, former Fox employee and (as of today) ambassador to Greece, is in the midst of a serious scandal. If true, she faces not only the likelihood of removal -- something she herself acknowledged -- but also the distinct possibility of prison.
Fox has 0 reporting online about this.
The most recent article at Fox mentioning her is dated December 10, 2024 ... the day Trump announced her nomination as ambassador.
Fox's sister company -- the WSJ -- has done a great job leading the reporting on this. The allegations are substantive, sourced, and paint a picture of a U.S. diplomat wallowing like a pig in a trough.
The network has served America well, and I have defended it against hyperbolic charges for nearly 30 years.
And to be clear, this isn't a simple "mistake" by Fox. It's not a biased headline or muddled article.
It's a conscious choice to ignore a major story that has been reported worldwide by every major news outlet. President Trump has spoken about it, as has VP Vance and Marco Rubio.
It's journalistic malpractice.
I don't have knowledge of the details of Fox's action, yet I doubt that there's been an order from up top to ignore it. I suspect it's instead a product of fear and inaction by middle management. Whatever the reason, though, it's an increasing pattern I've seen at the network.
To those of you at Fox with any power -- from Lachlan on down -- know that things like this only harm the company's reputation. Not among your enemies, who will hate you no matter what, but among your supporters, like me, who get pained when the hyperbolic attacks turn out to be true.

It took 16 months to get Evan Gershkovich out of a Russian prison. It took many more months to get the Russian prison out of Evan Gershkovich. Now for the first time since the swap that freed him, he is talking about his ordeal -- and that of the Russians. nytimes.com/2026/09/29/us/po…

Vladimir Putin believes Russia is at war with Europe. His armies are already well-practised in asymmetric drone warfare, and they are learning all the time. Europe, by contrast, is unprepared economist.com/leaders/2026/0…

Trump says gas prices are no big deal and that you should save money somewhere else. Buy bargain brands. Bring your own snacks to the movies, and if your son is getting remarried, get the Russians to pay for it.

The scale of this attack is insane... Russian authorities claim 1,600+ drones launched from Ukraine, 450 at Moscow alone.

“It is not my place to tell Israelis how to vote. But as someone working in DC to defend Israel, I believe it is important to spell out consequences: If the coalition returns to power without changing its policies and conduct, defending Israel will become far more difficult.”
The collapse in public support for Israel could trigger a financial and economic war against the Jewish state. The architecture for it is already taking shape.
