Russia's fuel problem is no longer just a Crimean problem.
The real story is logistics.
Ukraine is systematically targeting bridges, railways, roads, fuel depots and transport routes across southern Ukraine.
The goal isn't a dramatic collapse.
It's slow strangulation.

Crimea is already showing visible stress.
Russian occupation authorities have restricted civilian fuel sales and prioritized supplies for the military and critical services.
Queues. Rationing. Shortages.
The pressure is no longer theoretical.

Melitopol remains the key hub of Russia's land corridor to Crimea.
Fuel still arrives.
But every destroyed bridge, every damaged railway and every hit depot makes transport slower, more expensive and more dangerous.
The corridor is functioning.
Just not efficiently.

Already shot in the side, he climbed a 100-foot cliff on D-Day, hunted down five enemy guns the Germans had hidden inland, and destroyed them almost single-handedly with grenades and the butt of his rifle.
Those guns could have killed thousands on the beaches.
A historian called him the most important American on D-Day after Eisenhower.
This is the story of Bud Lomell..🧵1/6

Leonard Lomell, known as Bud, was a 24-year-old First Sergeant in Company D of the 2nd Ranger Battalion. He had grown up in New Jersey, worked as a freight train brakeman, and volunteered for the Rangers, the toughest and most demanding unit the Army had.
His battalion was handed one of the most dangerous assignments of the entire invasion.
A few miles west of Omaha Beach stood a cliff called Pointe du Hoc. On top of it, the Germans had built a battery of five massive 155 millimeter coastal guns. From that height, those guns could reach both Omaha and Utah beaches, and the fleet of ships in the Channel between them. If they opened fire on the morning of June 6, they could slaughter thousands of American soldiers as they came ashore.
The Rangers were given a simple, almost suicidal task. Climb the 100-foot cliff, and destroy the guns.

Everything went wrong from the start.
The landing craft were pushed off course and arrived around 35 minutes late, with the German defenders fully alert and waiting. As Lomell came off his boat, before he had even reached dry land, a machine gun bullet tore into his side.
He kept going.
Wounded, he and his men reached the base of the cliff and began to climb. The Rangers went up hand over hand, using ropes and ladders, while the Germans above them fired down and cut the ropes and threw grenades. Men were hit and fell. But the Rangers kept climbing, and Bud Lomell, bleeding from his wound, hauled himself to the top.
Then came the moment that should have ruined everything. The Rangers fought their way to the gun emplacements they had crossed an ocean and climbed a cliff to destroy.
The guns were not there.

The Senate Majority Leader emailed the state’s top courtroom lawyer his draft tax bill and asked for “the best shot to have Culliton overruled.” That lawyer’s office will later have to defend the bill in court.

Separation of powers isn’t a technicality. It’s the reason no single faction controls a law from drafting to courtroom.
When the people who write a law, pass it, and defend it are one team, that check is gone.
Public records on the “millionaire tax” show it gone.

October 14, 2025. The Governor’s office emails the Attorney General’s Office, months before any bill is public:
“Has the AG’s Office done any analysis on the legal risks (e.g. uniformity) and chance of something like this being upheld in court?”

Many people wonder:
“Why does Allah delay certain things we long for, like marriage?”
The reason could change the way you view every delay in your life.

Because we assume:
If something is good → it should come quickly.
If it’s halal → it should be easy.
If we make du’a → it should happen immediately.
But Allah’s timing has never been rushed by our loneliness.

But Allah’s timing has never been rushed by our loneliness.
At first, that’s hard to accept because:
Loneliness doesn’t feel like love.
Delay doesn’t feel like mercy.
Silence doesn’t feel like care.
But then you realize:
Not every delay is a denial.

Whenever distress, worries, and hardships weighed heavily on his heart, the Prophet ﷺ would turn to Allah with this supplication:
لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ، لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ، لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَرَبُّ الْأَرْضِ وَرَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ
Lā ilāha illallāhul-‘Aẓīmul-Ḥalīm, lā ilāha illallāhu Rabbul-‘Arshil-‘Aẓīm, lā ilāha illallāhu Rabbus-samāwāti wa Rabbul-arḍi wa Rabbul-‘Arshil-Karīm.

@yellowbee0 Just as there are jews who are false, there are many who proclaim "Lord! Lord!" & dont know Jesus. This includes folks like Hitler and the revived Templar lore he hijacked.
@yellowbee0 just incase there are folks that need "moar eViDenCe", this should help: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_…
@yellowbee0 some key excerpts:
1) The remains of this 35-year-old man from the 1st-2nd century AD reveal a remarkable story of disability and resilience in the ancient world. When his skeleton was unearthed near Ostia in 2008, experts were astounded to find that..
2) ..the man suffered from a completely fused jaw (emporomandibular joint ankylosis), perhaps from trauma in childhood but most likely a congenital condition which made it impossible for him to open his mouth throughout his life. Incredibly, closer analysis revealed that..
3) ..several of his front teeth had been removed and a hole drilled through his mouth in order to allow feeding, likely only eating liquid food his entire life. Nevertheless, bone analysis has shown his diet was rich and well balanced. Other skeletal markers showed he worked in..

🧵1/6 Over the weekend at the Indiana GOP State Convention, a group of us young(er) Republicans proposed several amendments to the Indiana GOP Platform.
I worked with @HeritageIndiana on a few immigration-specific amendments. There'll be a post next week with a summary of what we did and didn't accomplish on that issue.
Outside of immigration, here's what we did:

✅We tried to insert John Hostettler's name into a list of Indiana Republicans to give a little representation to the non-interventionist right-wing of the party, but word came down that Mr. Hostettler preferred that he not be mentioned in the document, so we asked the platform committee to instead remove every name, including Mike Pence. They did.

✅We ADDED the following line: "We believe liberty is God's gift to the human race for the purpose of pursuing virtue and for the common good of communities."
We REMOVED the following line: "And we should not only work to preserve individual freedom in our own nation, but we also have a responsibility to encourage such freedoms to men and women of all races and circumstances wherever they may reside."

There is one big reason why a Burnham premiership is doomed, just as a Starmer premiership is doomed - Labour still haven't come to terms with the financial crisis. In particular, they're still relying on the economics of 'one weird trick'. Quick thread. (1/?)
As I say in my column, the Makerfield by-election was marked by a staggering array of spending commitments/semi-promises.
The charitable explanation is this isn't spendthrift socialism - Andy is a people-pleaser (see @mrianleslie) who hears people complain and wants to help.

But what's really interesting is that the position that's evolving isn't 'eff the bond markets'. It's an awkward combination of 'fiscal discipline, but try however we can to get around it' - lots of talk about 'creative thinking', 'cleverer ways', 'finding some kind of way to'...
Today we celebrate all fathers!
But most of all, we should recognize younger fathers, who are trying harder and doing more to be there for their families than any generation that came before them.

All over the world, dads are spending far more time on childcare than ever before. Dads in the US today spend 4.5 times as much of their day on childcare as their own fathers did a generation ago. 2/6

It's easy to say that dads aren't doing their fair share.
But it isn't true! When it comes to everything, paid work, housework and childcare, Dads today spend even more time on average than moms, nearly 60 hours a week! 3/6
