It’s as if the Iran war was fought to sustain the Russian economy. Lifting sanctions for Russians does nothing for Americans. It just makes it easier for Russia to continue its war in Ukraine.
Anton Gerashchenko@Gerashchenko_en

❗️The U.S. has extended the license for operations involving Russian oil. The U.S. Department of the Treasury has extended a license allowing transactions involving Russian oil and petroleum products that were loaded onto vessels before April 17. Such transactions are now permitted until May 16. The decision was made two days after Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that there were no plans to continue the exemption.

The US dropped a Friday night notice lifting sanctions on Russian oil for another month. Comes just 2 days after Treasury Secretary Bessant said the US would not renew the waiver.

None of this is new. Anti-Catholicism is in America’s DNA. MAGA is its newest face. In the spring of 1844, nativist mobs in Philadelphia burned two Catholic churches and a Catholic seminary to the ground because Catholic parents had asked that their children not be forced to read the King James Bible in public school. Twenty people died. James G. Blaine spent a generation pushing state constitutions to bar public funding of Catholic schools — bans that survived in some form into our own lifetime. The Klan rebuilt itself in the 1920s on hatred of Catholics, lighting crosses outside convents and across the open fields of the Midwest to terrorize Al Smith out of the White House. The men of MAGA have inherited the torches and the rope. They have simply traded the burning cross for their smartphone and their rally stages. open.substack.com/pub/lettersfro…

The creepy billionaires’ little factotum in their Court Capture scheme, now bulked up with a $1.6 billion slush fund, has gone to work for the big polluters.

One piece of legislation drafted by a Leonard Leo-supported nonprofit would effectively bar cities and towns from bringing lawsuits against corporations and others when the issue is a broad public harm like climate change. propublica.org/article/climat…

NEW: Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters today that Pope Leo XIV doesn't understand “something called the just war doctrine.” Pope Leo is an Augustinian friar who spent twelve years leading Augustine’s religious order. Augustine invented the doctrine. thelettersfromleo.com/p/something-ca…

The 7 Senate Democrats who voted against blocking a proposed weapons sale to Israel: Richard Blumenthal (CT) Chris Coons (DE) Catherine Cortez Masto (NV) Jacky Rosen (NV) Kirsten Gillibrand (NY) Chuck Schumer (NY) John Fetterman (PA)
Andrew Desiderio@AndrewDesiderio

!! 40 out of 47 Senate Democrats voted to block a proposed weapons sale to Israel. This one was for Caterpillar bulldozers. Next vote is for a proposed sale of “dumb” bombs. Last time the Senate voted on an Israel arms sale disapproval, 27 Democrats voted yes. Was 19 before that

They hit another one. No sharing with the public any information about who these “narco-terrorists” were. No authorization from Congress. I haven’t even seen a statement from anyone in Congress. The most important story in the world is STILL that Trump can do anything he wants with the most powerful military the world has ever seen. And nothing is stopping him. As his Forever War rolls on.🚨🇺🇸
U.S. Southern Command@Southcom

Applying total systemic friction on the cartels. On April 13, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Two male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear

Vaccines were once so uncontroversial that McDonald’s restaurants put the childhood immunization schedule on their tray liners. Now, as the U.S. government sows doubt, preventable diseases could come roaring back. propublica.org/article/rfk-jr…

Congress controls the purse. That's not a suggestion. It's the Constitution. The Trump Administration moved $1.25 billion to his “Board of Peace” with no congressional authorization. I introduced the PEACE Act to put a stop to it.
