MAJOR BREAKING: In a 5-4 ruling, the U.S. Supreme Court held that states may count mail-in ballots that are postmarked on or before Election Day, even if they arrive afterward.

Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh dissented.

Russian Telegram channels report:

"Against the backdrop of the systemic destruction of our oil refineries, Kazakhstan has withdrawn from the ranks of those rescuing Russia from the gasoline crisis. Russian economist Vyacheslav Shiryaev writes about this in his blog. The Kremlin asked Astana to sell 50,000 tons of AI-92 gasoline. However, the request was rejected through informal channels. Officially, Kazakhstan's Minister of Energy, Erlan Akkenzhenov, stated that Astana had not received an official request from Moscow for gasoline supplies."

The Russian fuel crisis will reach its absolute peak in autumn…

Meet the Press host Ryan Nobles exposed Sen. Roger Marshall's BS about "election fraud" and the need for the SAVE America Act, pressing him to provide evidence (Marshall had none) and leaving him stammering when he asked, "Are you trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist?"

Here's the full exchange:

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

A foreign oil giant was under fire from the Trump White House for buying Russian oil. Then it poured nine figures into a troubled refinery startup tied to Donald Trump Jr. Not long after, the pressure from the Trump Administration vanished.

Donald Trump sold it as a win for America. But the real winner was his family.

This is pay to play at the highest levels of government. Welcome to Episode 19 of the Corruption Chronicles.

KARL: There's a constitutional requirement that you have to be a natural-born citizen to run for president. You were not born here. Do you think that's something that should be changed?

MAMDANI: No. I think the Constitution looks good just the way it is.

You better believe we will take back the House, we will issue subpoenas, and we will continue to fight for justice. Full stop.

Last week, Russia tried to destroy the Kyiv Lavra.

Today, beneath the same golden domes, I received Ukraine’s Order of Merit from President Zelenskyy.

They try to burn history. Ukraine honours truth.

I will never stop reporting it. 🙏🇺🇦🔥

[Caolan @CaolanReports]

“Thank you that you don’t forget about Ukraine.”

That’s what Zelenskyy said to me today.

I’ll carry that with me forever.

So grateful to be in this beautiful country, telling the truth about its fight for survival, justice and freedom. 🇺🇦❤️

There is a difference between a Photo ID and a Voter ID.

A photo ID says who you are. You can use for almost everything.

Under the SAVE Act a Voter ID has to not only identify you, it has to show where you were born. They want everyone to have a passport or Real ID.

Trump administration wants this because they can’t win the midterms without it.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

Let me tell you what just got reported, because you will not believe it until you see it laid out.

The Trump administration cut a billion-dollar tungsten deal with Kazakhstan. Tungsten is the metal we need for missile warheads, fighter jets, and computer chips. Trump himself got on the phone to close it. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick worked it from the inside, sending letters, leaning on the Kazakh president, lining up as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing.

Within weeks of those negotiations, investors tied to a firm partly owned by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump took a 20% stake in an entity connected to the very same Kazakhstan project their father was negotiating. Around that same time, Cantor Fitzgerald, the firm run by Lutnick’s own sons, raised $210 million for a partner in the deal and pocketed the fees.

The fathers set the policy. The sons cashed in.

Six days after the Trump sons and their partners moved their money, Lutnick signed the final deal.

The reporting found one or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies working with the government on critical mining deals.

The total federal funding flowing toward those companies tops $8.9 billion.

This is your tax money.

It is supposed to secure our supply chains and protect our troops, not pad the portfolios of the President’s children and the Commerce Secretary’s children.

This is the most corrupt administration in American history. It is not close.

We must keep digging, and keep asking the questions they do not want asked. Republicans in Congress are unwilling to lift a finger. Mike Johnson is running a protection racket.

Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

Here’s an in-depth New York Times article on how Trump, his family, and his cronies are abusing their government power to line their pockets and using billions of your tax dollars to facilitate their grifting. Note that the $8.9 billion in federal money going to the 14 Trump and Lutnick companies is equal to the entire amount of federal assistance Western North Carolina has received for Hurricane Helene recovery.

Rampant corruption in plain sight . . . and Republicans see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil.

Here’s an excerpt from the article and a free link to the entire piece:

“Ahead of the deal, the Trump administration approved preliminary applications for as much as $1.6 billion in federal financing for the American company, now called Kaz Resources, which plans to break ground on the project in rural Kazakhstan.

It was not only Mr. Trump and Mr. Lutnick who saw an opportunity.

Their sons were soon doing business with partners in a deal that their fathers were negotiating, continuing a pattern of self-enrichment in the second Trump administration that has few precedents in American history.”

. . . . .

“One or both families have financial ties to at least 14 companies that are actively working with the federal government on critical mining deals, including the Kazakhstan project, according to federal filings examined by The New York Times.

All 14 of these companies have either benefited directly from offers of financial assistance from the Trump administration, or have pending permit applications before the Commerce Department, which Mr. Lutnick oversees, The Times found. The total amount of federal funding that the Trump administration has provided or is considering providing to the companies exceeds $8.9 billion, according to public statements by the companies and federal government.”

Indeed, Russia had better evacuate Crimea, Kherson oblast and Zaporizhzhia oblast to begin with.
Do you think Putin would survive that politically?
When Putin is ousted the war will end.
A parallel is Germany in November 1918.
