Senators Slam Trump’s Diesel Deal With Russia in Rare Bipartisan Rebuke: Runs ‘Directly Counter’ to Law

@wartranslated.bsky.socialReposted by @datagoodies.bsky.social

Seven US senators from both parties say Trump broke the law by greenlighting Russian diesel imports, pointing to a 2022 ban meant to stop American money from bankrolling Russia's war, and accusing the administration of skipping Congress entirely.

So, Ukraine (rightfully) attacking ruzzian refineries serves Trump for two atrocities at once: —as an excuse for the global shortage of diesel & oil (which de facto is due to HIS war on Iran), and —as pretext for abandoning Ukraine & helping the enemy, his bff Putin, to continue his aggression war.

🚨 WTF! Trump's new White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia has been EXPOSED promoting Pizzagate and QAnon conspiracy theories—including claims that Democrats are child-eating cannibals. And her posts about Trump's secret signals are even more bizarre.

The backstory: Ukrainian drones struck a Yandex supercomputer facility in Vladimir, taking it out. Suddenly, bot activity in US social media fell by 49%, confirming suspicions that this was the site of a massive Russian influence operation targeting US social media—mostly targeting MAGA.
