Of course, Rand Paul voted against it. Here are the others. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...
It’s always about the money. Who cares if innocent people are getting murdered daily by your Russian pals? kyivindependent.com/eu-sanctions...
What REALLY needs to be addressed is continued European energy imports from Russia, and the loads of cash Greek companies are collecting from the sales of shadow fleet ships. energyandcleanair.org/june-2026-mo...
My problem with Graham’s sanctions bill is that it obligates the White House to nothing. The President shall make the determination, and if the President says the Russians haven’t engaged in sanctionable behavior, nothing happens.
Remember when the Kremlin created Operation Denver - a disinformation op in the 80s that claimed the CIA created the AIDS virus at Ft. Dietrich? This stinks with the same rot.
There are a bunch of others. Including two vessels and Maxim Mirnov - President of the Samara Metallurgical Plant. Meanwhile, Moscow continues to murder innocent Ukrainian civilians and engage in asymmetric warfare.
Absolutely terrifying thought from Marshall Billingslea - a former Treasury Assistant Secretary for Terrorist Financing and Financial Crimes (TFFC).
Now we know whom these complete ignorami arrested at the “Reflecting Poll.”
This is absolutely beyond unprofessional! Where are the efforts to protect the US financial system from corrupt Russian oligarchs? home.treasury.gov/news/press-r...
Here’s the full text of the Ukraine Support Act. Do we see a problem here? Ultimately all sanctions will depend on the President’s determination about whether Russia is engaged in these malign activities. It’s all up to him. Will he make this determination? www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...
But seriously, the award is for participation in Russia’s “special military operation.” Because he is the head of the training center that develops savages to conduct Putin’s war.
What an absolutely reprehensible trash human Congresshag Virginia Foxx (Filth-N.C.) is to write something like this to a 10 year old who sent her a letter as an assignment to write a persuasive essay!
Foreign components still make their way into Russian weaponry, with some companies unknowingly providing components and dual-use tech to Russia’s war machine.
Another day, another general license authorizing Russia to profit from its blood oil. Cultists claim this administration is tough on Russia. @JDVance brags about not helping Ukraine while Treasury helps Russia fund mass slaughter. ofac.treasury.gov/media/935526...
You have GOT to be kidding me. He fails at talks trying to end the war HE started and now he’s planning to blockade the very Strait he demanded Iran open. Because if HE can’t have his way, NO ONE will have oil!
Meanwhile the doofuses continue to ease sanctions against Russia almost daily.
So he was selected because he licked Trump’s ass. thehill.com/homenews/581...
Another Russian removed from the SDN list. But no, no policy pivot! Zadornov is chairman of the management board of sanctioned Otkritie FC Bank. Slowly but surely the Trump administration is removing Russia sanctions, even as the war continues and Putin doesn’t negotiate in good faith.
Aaaaaand they’ve now removed some Belarus sanctions. Putting more money in the pockets of that scummy dictator, who is supporting Putin in murdering innocent people.
