They say it was about the economy but instead of advertising their economic plan, they dusted off Trumpβs insults and negative social commentary instead.
Silicon Valley billionaires who courted Donald Trump and donated more than $600mn to Republican candidates suffered heavy losses in the US midterm elections. ft.trib.al/HY1PbhH
So no cost relief for Americans but more bombs for Ukrainian children. How vile!
Three Russian shadow fleet tanker loaded with Russian diesel have altered course and won't be shipping to the US coast.
The "Agioi Fenandes" (IMO: 9798375) and "Talisman" (IMO: 9292060) switched their destination to "For Orders", meaning that they are actively looking for buyers. The "Leruo" (MO: 9385831) has set course for Brazil, while also looking for buyers. Source is "Marinetraffic".
It looks like that the Trump-Putin scheme has fallen apart the moment the midterms were lost for Trump. What a surprise..
The peace process needs to be taken over by new people. Given the current state of targeted killings of civilians the file should be given to honest brokers like the Canadians or Japanese

The utter hatred that has grown between the Ukrainian people and Putin is very deep. They will always have their guard up and never cooperate with Putin. NEVER!

CoreCivic offered the shuttered Prairie Correctional Facility in Appleton, MN, to the state for $75 million in May 2025 (upgrades included). The state declined. CoreCivic donated $500,000 to the Trump-Vance inaugural committee. In August 2026, DHS/ICE bought the same facility for $495.6 million.
Did Trump just call Lindsey Graham and the Republican caucus STUPID?
Trump suspended sweeping sanctions against Russia on October 16. Two weeks later, he declared: βStupid people wanted me to put sanctions on Russia.β
This is Putinβs greatest achievement. He has persuaded an American president to do things that would once have been unthinkable for any occupant of the White House.
And that is precisely Putinβs tactic. He doesnβt merely want concessions. He wants Trump to make them publicly, to defend them enthusiastically, and to ridicule Americans.
Every such performance sends a message to the world: look what I can make the President of the United States do.
Putin is demonstrating dominance.
And with every performance, Putin humiliates not just Trump, but the entire United States.
The Republican Party has become the Russia First Party.
A reminder. Former Soviet republics have the strongest resolve and will never back down no matter what Trump says.
The US is quickly losing itβs position as the leader of the free world

Estoniaβs prime minister defied the US, saying he would not tone down his rhetoric on Russia.
Trump is inflicting historic damage on the transatlantic relationship.
The era of the US dictating Europeβs policy is over.
An unprincipled stance from an unprincipled government
5 eyes security alliance is no more
NATO (excluding πΊπΈ) must coordinate with other principled countries like Japan, Korea and NZ/Austalia

Hey @grok how many tons of diesel does the United States export per day?
NEWS: Trump admin officials want US companies to accept the Russian diesel currently crossing the Atlantic.
But American firms want nothing to do with it. Theyβre very scared of the legal and reputational risk, industry sources tell me and @jstein_sun

Trump and company have forgotten that government is in the business of protecting people, providing public services and ensuring the success of its citizens.
Trump seems to think it is in the oil & gas, tech and arms industries.
