Nice visuals on Russia's race to borrow money.

Bear in mind: Russia often changes the bond types it offers each week. Different term lengths, maybe different taxation (principal Vs coupon). So look at the trend over months rather than week-to-week noise.

What happens through December is important.

This is the data for Russia's borrowing for Q3 2025 that @tochnyi.info prepared.If you want to keep up with Russia's domestic debt we cover it every week on the live stream. You can also listen to us talking about the gasoline shortage.

The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics.

That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.

DISINFORMATION KILLS. THE SUPREME COURT REFUSED TO HEAR ALEX JONES’ APPEAL, LEAVING THE $1.4 BILLION JUDGMENT FOR SANDY HOOK FAMILIES IN PLACE. SPEECH DOESN’T MEAN LYING ABOUT MASSACRES. STAND WITH THE VICTIMS AND DEMAND ACCOUNTABILITY. BELIEVE FACTS, NOT HATEFUL CONSPIRACIES.

An honor to receive the endorsement of
of nearly a dozen Black clergy leaders in Crown Heights today, including Bishop Orlando Findlayter.

I’m grateful for their support, and this powerful and humbling prayer.

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

Tim Walz: "The biggest myth is that this guy understands business. He's an absolute abject failure at business ... the irony is calling Democrats socialists when I am begging for free markets here to allow capitalism to work. Donald Trump is the one with government interference."
