🚨 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 $$ from bankrolling Russia's war & accusing regime of skipping Congress entirely. Russian blood diesel ship ETA in 3 hours at Wilmington, NC! 🧵

United States Senate Committee on FOREIGN RELATIONS FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 11, 2026 CONTACT: James Nycz Ranking Member Shaheen and Six Bipartisan Senators' Statement on Legality of Imports of Russian Diesel Fuel WASHINGTON - Today, U.S. Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Ranking Member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Susan Collins (R-ME), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Ron Wyden (D-OR), Thom Tillis (R-NC) and John Curtis (R-UT) issued a statement regarding the legality of Russian diesel fuel imports to the United States. "Congress explicitly banned Russian energy imports in 2022 to prevent American dollars from financing Putin's brutal war against Ukraine. Congress was clear: the U.S. should not import oil from Russia until it ends its aggression against Ukraine and ceases threats against our NATO Allies. "President Trump's decision to allow Russian diesel imports to the U.S. runs directly counter to that law. The Administration has also failed to consult with Congress or submit any explanation to justify its decision as required by statute. "The United States should not provide Putin with a financial lifeline while Russia continues to kill Ukrainian civilians. The Administration must immediately reverse course." ### Photo of a large oil tanker on the ocean.

Elon Musk has quietly funneled more than $276 million into Republican groups since July, making him by far the largest known donor in the midterms as he tries to save the GOP’s Senate majority with some of the largest donations in American political history. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/12/u...

For four days, a GOP super PAC ran an attack ad against Maine Democratic Senate candidate Troy Jackson. The only problem was that the ad did not run in Portland, Maine. It ran in Portland, Oregon. Read more from Adam Hudacek:

Energy experts estimate the Trump-Putin diesel deal could send about $4 billion of American money into the Russian economy. But a halt to refinery strikes could be much more valuable for Moscow.

A Republican super PAC trying to influence a crucial Senate race in Maine spent thousands of dollars running an attack ad in the wrong Portland, targeting voters thousands of miles away in Oregon.

Trump just threw a massive lifeline to Vladimir Putin. And to do it, he’s breaking the law. Back in 2022, Congress banned Russian energy imports. I voted for it. The law says the president has to consult Congress before he changes anything. He didn’t. Illegal. Deadly. Disgraceful. Link below!
