Spa town spies: Czech church linked to a Kremlin kompromat campaign.
Karlovy Vary is famous for its hot springs – but its Russian orthodox church is a hotbed of spies.
The church was used by operatives from Russia's GRU military intelligence agency for covert meetings and influence operations aimed at destabilising the EU, the Czech Security Information Service (BIS) has revealed.
Excellent breakdown by Faisal Islam, BBC Economics editor.

“an astonishing U-turn”
“10% universal tariff is now riddled with exemptions”
“the "Art of the Repeal". The 4D chess has been replaced by someone playing one dimensional checkers, but unable to tell the difference between opposing pieces”

Trump's 'Liz Truss moment'.
(FWIW - he's crap and always has been)
Not the sort of #showers you normally associate with #Trump. #kompromat #russia
Almost all of the #GOP that remain in #Congress are compromised, either because they are firmly in the cult, or #Russia has provided #Trump with #kompromat on them.
Trump Tariffs.
They’ve been done before and were probably the trigger for the Great Depression, which was a disaster for the US. What will happen this time? I guess #Krasnov is doing good work.
This is a *really interesting read*
Wholly owned Donald Trump tries pretending that he'll put more tariffs on Daddy.
Donnie is saying he's "very angry" with Daddy. But he also says maybe it's not Daddy's fault that Russia has not joined ceasefire negotiations.
It's such a confusing world for any world leader when a Daddy has bad videos of very bad things.

@petergleick But he will have met the demands of his puppet master #Putin (aka #Qanon ), so no #Kompromat will be released.

@josh Russia wants it. And #donald obeys #Putin. The #kompromat on him must be beyond obscene.
Trump has never made so many excuses for someone as he has for Putin.
Uh, this is just jaw dropping. Everyone must be fired, & then arrested for violations of the #EspionageAct as well as for the violation of handling classified and even CUI on personal devices.
This one line floored me: "The final most truly disturbing aspect of this is that Trump’s special envoy to Russia, property developer, Steve Witkoff was actually in Moscow when he was added to the Signal group on his personal phone." 
How fucking stupid are these people?
#kompromat
How Putin, the KGB agent, goes about things:

I think the Russian Tea house would be more appropriate.
This is pretty shocking.
Steve Witkoff, another 'real-estate' mogul (criminal?) from NY. He can’t even remember the names of the regions. (FWIW.. he’s also of mixed Russian-Jewish and Belarusian-Jewish descent).

Putin kept Trump on hold for an hour? Didn't seem possible at first--but apparently so. Trump is a Russian asset.
BBC headlines:
" #Putin and #Trump have voiced mutual confidence, seeking to restore US-Russia ties. "
Trump had ordered the US Treasury to prepare a list of severe economic sanctions against RU.
These were to be applied if Putin rejected the ceasefire, to force Russia to agree to Trump's ceasefire.
Putin has not agreed to the ceasefire.
And Trump is behaving exactly as a Putin-puppet would. Again and again.
Hard to #MakeTheDeal after #Helsinki Donny?
