Trump, according to JD Vance, can’t understand why Russians and Ukrainians aren’t trading, travelling or doing cultural exchanges instead of fighting.

Trump, JD Vance and the whole MAGA clan are completely detached from reality and have no clue about this war, at all.

Well, once again it was shown that Trump's "support" for Ukraine was a con. He has been working with Putin in secret to craft a "peace" deal which the US and Russia will now try to shove down Ukrainian and European throats. Just sent out this free piece. open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

Btw, in case you have not noticed it--the last few hours have confirmed one thing. The alliance of dictators and autocrats is no longer notional--it is now up and running. The remaining democratic states in the world have to react now.

New in PN: Mike Johnson's Epstein bungling is a disaster for the GOP

"Observing Johnson in recent months has been like watching an extended Road Runner cartoon, where the Coyote fashions intricate knots of congressional procedure in order to tie himself to a giant stack of lit dynamite."

I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.

That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.

Wow.

Ukraine’s drone strike on Rosneft’s Ryazan refinery, one of Russia’s largest, has forced the plant to halt crude processing until at least the end of November, according to industry sources. No fuel shipments are expected before December 1. It’s the latest hit in Ukraine’s refinery strike campaign.

Trump’s approval rating has dropped to 38%, the lowest of his presidency, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll. The decline is driven by frustration over high living costs and his inconsistent stance on releasing Epstein case files.
