I’m sending a sledgehammer message to shipping companies whose tankers are transporting illegal Russian diesel to our ports. Reverse course while there’s still time.
NEW!!! Senator Mitch McConnell is calling on the administration to work with "Republicans who know the difference between the good guys and the bad guys" amid American efforts to end the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.

A top House Democrat said he'll make ousting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth a priority if his party wins control of the majority in next week's midterm election. trib.al/UawnItc
Putin knows exactly what he’s doing.
While Kushner and Witkoff are trying to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine, the Kremlin is dangling lucrative business opportunities in front of them at the same time they are pushing for a deal more favorable to Russia.
And the people positioned to benefit from those opportunities just happen to have ties to the Trump family. Even Don Jr.’s college buddy is trying to get in on the action, pursuing a business deal with one of Russia’s largest energy companies.
All of this is happening while Trump pressures Ukraine to surrender territory that Putin seized by force.
Putin wants Russia back in the Western economy and people close to Trump are already looking at how to make money if that happens.
At some point, you have to ask: why does Putin keep getting more of what he wants from Trump while people in Trump’s orbit keep finding new ways to make money off of a closer relationship with Russia?
McConnell with a warning shot on $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget dreams amid recent Trump moves in Russia:
"Ending the obeisance to Mr. Putin may be table stakes for the end-of-year legislation. The president should plan accordingly."

NEW: Zelensky says Ukraine has been waiting almost a month for Hegseth's signature on Patriot and NASAMS missiles.
Ukraine's allies have already paid for them.
A senior Ukrainian official told me and @JimmySecUK the batch is "significant."
McConnell in WSJ on Trump’s relationship with Putin & the upcoming “lame-duck” session of Congress: “Mr. Trump has high hopes for a lame-duck legislative agenda, including the one-time defense spending I’ve urged the administration instead to build into full-year appropriations. Passing this agenda will require working with Republicans who know the difference between the good guys and the bad guys. Ending the obeisance to Mr. Putin may be table stakes for the end-of-year legislation. The president should plan accordingly.” wsj.com/opinion/coddli…

Rep. Dan Crenshaw: Russia will demand territory it hasn't even conquered yet because, frankly, they suck.
They'll want Ukraine to have zero security guarantees so they can invade again.
Then we'll be dealing with this war again in 10 years.

“They’re going to want territory they haven’t even conquered yet because, frankly, they suck,” says @RepDanCrenshaw about Russia’s demands for ending its war with Ukraine. Rep.
