Half of Russia’s six largest diesel-producing refineries are now either shut down or operating at sharply reduced capacity after Ukrainian drone strikes.
That’s not just an inconvenience. It’s a direct blow to the fuel supply that keeps Russia’s war machine moving.

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

So the fact that he still can breathe means he doesn’t really love so much?

Wishing all Jewish New Yorkers celebrating a sweet, joyful and meaningful Rosh Hashanah. Here’s to a new year filled with health, happiness and blessings (and yes, even another Knicks championship).

The RNC tried to pull off a first-of-its kind “midterm convention” in Dallas & the attendance was…questionable.
I was in Dallas to try to talk to attendees to see why they would voluntarily go & to get their thoughts on some pressing issues like the Epstein Files.

UCLA left this particular Bluesky post out of their allegations.
Gee, I wonder why? Could it be because I clearly state I’m “not celebrating violence or murder”…?

Charlie Kirk is on record saying Black Women “do not have the brain power to be take seriously.”
Of course, I don’t endorse or celebrate gun violence or murder—I’m also not sad this dude is gone. Sorry not sorry.

I know we’re all stretched thin these days, but if you can afford to subscribe to your local paper, you need to do so. Even if you don’t like them sometimes. Communities that don’t have local newspaper coverage are more susceptible to local corruption.

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court.
I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective.
Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court.
The lesson: When we fight we win.
