US energy company execs have resigned in disgust as the Trump family is caught secretly expediting the funneling of $25 billion from a sanctioned Russian energy giant in exchange for allowing Russians to obtain a natural gas project in Alaska.
According to investigations by The New York Times and Financial Times, Russia's Novatek allegedly concealed its financial involvement in the American project through a UAE-linked intermediary.
Gentry Beach, a longtime Trump ally and close friend of Donald Trump Jr., signed an agreement with Novatek to pursue natural gas development in Alaska. Reuters documented the arrangement in February.
Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin discussed this cooperation on the Alaska energy project with Trump's representatives, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, during negotiations involving Russia and Ukraine.
The controversy deepened when Polar Train LNG's CEO, Joel Riddle, raised concerns about concealed Russian financing and possible sanctions violations. He departed in September, followed by other senior executives.
The Financial Times also described discussions about a potential arrangement under which Novatek would provide technology for the Alaska project in exchange for sanctions relief benefiting its Arctic LNG 2 development in Siberia.
According to The New York Times, Riddle and two other departing executives warned the Trump administration about the Russian financing and urged officials to investigate.
The White House maintains that the project was mentioned only briefly and that no detailed discussions took place. There is no established evidence that Kushner or Witkoff knew about the allegedly concealed financing. Polar Train LNG denies wrongdoing.
The central question is how a sanctioned Russian energy company became involved in a major American energy venture while Putin was discussing potential economic cooperation with Trump's representatives and a longtime Trump family associate was pursuing a separate agreement with the same Russian company.
Selling Alaska to the Russians or selling Ukraine to the Russians - to the Trump family it's all the same.

Your vote can change this.

MAGA says Ilhan Omar isn't using her real name.
Melania Trump was born Melanija Knavs.
Ted Cruz was born Rafael Edward Cruz.
JD Vance was born James Donald Bowman.
Nikki Haley was born Nimarata Nikki Randhawa.
Mike Johnson's real first name is James.
Rand Paul is Randal Paul.
Newt Gingrich was born Newton Leroy McPherson.
But suddenly MAGA wants a congressional investigation into names?

Sergeant Davios â NYPD officer, killed in the Iran war â wasn't counted as a war casualty because he was Black. Hegseth's Pentagon buried his name with his body. Racist, incompetent, and unforgivable. Say his name. đĽ

Allow me to put the vile Vivek Ramaswamy ad into perspective.
This is Mike Caruso, GOP politician in Florida. He was arrested for molesting his grandson. He stuck his penis in his 3 year old grandsonâs mouth and urinated.
Vivek and JD Vance support Mike Caruso.

Trumpâs oil deal with Venezuela was negotiated in secret. Now we know why. The contract just leaked, and it doesnât say what Trump says it says.Â
What it does say is that we bought 35 percent of a company for a penny a share. The company is run by Alejandro Betancourt, a Venezuelan businessman whoâs been investigated for money laundering in Switzerland, Spain, and the United States. DOJ officials reportedly asked foreign governments to close those investigations and let him travel.
The parent company is registered through a Barbados shell, so nobody can see who the other owners are. Any dispute goes to a court in Texas. One person involved said it was built to insulate the deal from future administrations.
The company pumps about 200,000 barrels a day. America burns through that in 15 minutes. If this were a good deal, they wouldnât have had to hide it. I break it all down in todayâs show (link in reply).

Trump: We were in the midst of negotiating and a lot of stupid people said why arenât you putting Russian sanctionsâ
Collins: But you said you didnât give anything for his release
Trump: If I didnât do that, you wouldnât have him coming back.
Collins: So you did give something.
Trump: You donât know anything. Youâre fake news CNN.
Collins: Youâre saying you lifted the sanctions in exchange for his release?
Trump: You donât know what youâre talking about. Youâre a low IQ person. Youâre a dummy.

HOLY CRAP!
Trump now has the FOUR all-time WORST polls prior to a midterm election in the history of the United States since 1938.
America is catching on that MAGA is a scam.
We keep seeing the comparison showing that Democrats are out-voting Republicans in early voting, but what weâre missing is that there are many Republicans crossing over.

This Bitch.
MAGA Attorney General Lynn Fitch of MississippiâŚ
Said the murder of a one year old black child by a police officer was âJustifiedâ.
Because the childâs parents were shoplifting at Walmart.
The cop was Hunter Foster.
A white Police Officer.
Letâs reverse.
If the one year old child,
Was a white child belonging to a prominent white familyâŚ
And the cop was blackâŚ
The cop would be charged with Murder.
Tell me Iâm wrong.

Can any of the anti-fraud Republicans tell us:
-Who owns the offshore account in Qatar that holds $400M in seized Venezuelan oil money?
-What happened with the $1B sent to Trump's "Board of Peace"?
-Who owns the Qatari gifted Air Force One?
-Why more than 50 people who received pardons did so after major donations to Trump or major partnerships with his family's businesses?
-How much public money has been spent at Trump golf courses?
-Who front ran market moving announcements on the war to the tune of more than $20B?
-Why public contracts are going to businesses of Trump allies and cost more than 10x the normal rates?
If not, maybe it's time to shut the hell up about corruption.

Wow, the US truly has the most incompetent president in history.
Just listening to how clueless this man is, itâs no wonder we have been humiliated in Iran.
Trump: âThe Russians had a thousand tanks riding up a concrete highway. They would have been in Ukraine in four hours, going maximum tank speed, which is 48 miles an hour, to be exact. Nothing to stop them. The war would have been over in one day. And this very stupid general - I have no idea who he is. I doubt heâs still with us. I doubt heâs still living. He decided to hang a right onto the farmland and then take a left and go up to Kyiv, rather than staying on the highway - the concrete highway, perfectly good highway - where they were doing very nicely. It would have been three and a half, four hours, and the whole war would have ended. He ended up getting stuck in the mud.â
Does he understand that Ukrainian troops destroyed all the bridges and cut off the retreat points, so the only option left was to go off the highway? I mean, if you have the IQ of a 10-year-old child, you should be able to get it.
I am honestly shocked at the basic level of ignorance. And this is the man who is in charge of the US Army.

It is so true in every way. Trump is controlled by Vladimir Putin. He clearly puts Russia before America. @ProjectLincoln

Steve Schmidt on what Dems must tell Trump when they retake Congress:
â˘You will not keep the Qatari jet. We will legislate against its transfer to you, your foundation or your presidential library.
â˘We will block authorization & funding for your victory arch.
â˘We will appropriate no $$ to finish your ballroom. We will advance legislation to remove it & rebuild the East Wing.
â˘We will replant the trees, restore the public grounds, remove your ornamental vanity alterations & gilded Trump crappola.
I would add to this the following :
1. We will develop and pass legislation to cancel the disastrous Citizens United decision and prohibit corporations and other organizations and any individual who is not a registered voter from contributing in any way to electoral campaigns.
2. We will prohibit lobbying by corporations, businesses, political organizations, or religious organizations.
3. We will prohibit the sale of arms or ammunition to Israel.
4. We will abolish ICE.
5. We will end the electoral college and elect the president by popular vote.
6. No person who has been convicted of any criminal offense will be eligible to run as a candidate for any federal office.
7. All Americans will be provided with the same healthcare that Congress provides for its members.
8. Members of Congress and other elected officials will receive their salaries only for the time served and their pensions will be from Social Security as provided for all citizens

When he inevitably runs for president again, Marco Rubio is going to pretend he had nothing to do with any of this shit.
But we will be here to remind him.
His boss has aligned our country with Putin and he is complicit.
@SecRubio, you are a traitor.
Trust me, we will not forget.
