  1. Most of us had assumed, I think, that the Anchorage summit ended early because the sides couldn’t agree on much.

    Turns out Putin just decided to quit while he was ahead.

    The ball is now in Europe’s court.

  2. WE HAVE PEOPLE WITH NO ELECTRICITY OR RUNNING WATER AND WE SEND OUR NAT GUARD TO DC. OUR INFRASTRUCTURE IS CRUMBLING, PART OF OUR STATE STILL NEVER REPAIRED FROM HELENE DAMAGE, YET WE SEND OUR GUARD TO DC. WE HAVE OUR OWN UNHOUSED PROBLEMS AND NEED EMERGENCY SHELTERS AND HOUSING BUILT, BUT OH WELL🤷🏼‍♀️

  3. Vegetable prices are spiking after large taxes were put on imported ones and masked paramilitaries were deployed to harass and even kidnap the people who pick domestic ones, huh, who’d have guessed. (Not a dunk, these explanations are mentioned in the story!)

    Wholesale prices came in hot in today’s PPI report, but veggies stole the show 🥦📈

    Vegetable prices at the wholesale level surged nearly 39% in July. @willmasters.bsky.social & I unpack what’s behind this spike in today's @marketplace.org 🎙️

  4. Putin commented on his meeting with President Trump.

    He said that he wanted to move on to peaceful resolution of issues but the reasons for the conflict need to be solved first.

    The "reason" for the "conflict" is Ukraine choosing our own path.

    Putin's murderous peacefulness.

  5. According to Russian Media, the top photo reflects the portrayal of the US Military in movies, and the second photo illustrates the US Military in real life. Yes, it's disgraceful, but it is the reality we live under the Traitor Trump administration.
