Finally got around to reading Dexter Filkins’s profile of Jared Kushner. A perfect asshole, and the embodiment of the silver-spoon elite who literally cannot distinguish their own affluence from the national interest, fanatically convinced that their obscene wealth somehow means everyone wins. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2026/09/21/jared-kushners-dollar-diplomacy

U.S. prosecutors say Oxygen Forensics concealed Russian ownership while selling phone-data extraction software 😮 to the Pentagon 😳 and Secret Service 🫩. Its alleged Russian owners also ran a Moscow company that supplied software to the FSB. https://www.rferl.org/a/us-russia-software-hacker-cyber-oxygen-forensics/33863370.html

US Company That Sold Phone Hacking Software To Pentagon, Secret Service Lied About Russian Ownership, Officials Say

A US company that provided digital forensics and data-extraction software to the Pentagon and other government agencies was in fact owned by a Russian company that also sold software to Russian spy agencies, US authorities charged.

Ukraine’s 2026 counterattacks have regained more ground than its failed 2023 offensive, OSINT analyst Clément Molin says, putting the figure at about 450 sq km (175 sq mi). CIT agrees that this year’s local operations have been more successful by area, but says Molin overstates what can be confirmed near Sloviansk. CIT also cautions that the comparison is imperfect: the 2023 campaign was a theater-wide offensive with major strategic objectives, whereas today’s operations are tactical and target looser Russian formations rather than prepared defensive lines. https://t.me/istories_media/13686

If you think you're having a bad day, ponder the "protest-voting strategies" available to Russian oppositionists and know that your situation could always be more pathetic. https://meduza.io/en/feature/2026/09/17/russia-s-first-parliamentary-election-since-the-full-scale-invasion-of-ukraine-begins-tomorrow-with-its-only-anti-war-party-barred-and-genuine-competition-all-but-eliminated

Russia’s first parliamentary election since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine begins tomorrow, with its only anti-war party barred and genuine competition all but eliminated — Meduza

Voting for a new Russian parliament begins tomorrow. The State Duma elections will run for three days, from September 18 to 20. This will be the first Duma election since Russia launched its full-scale war against Ukraine. But the candidates are largely the same: More than 70% of current lawmakers are seeking another term. Voters will elect 450 State Duma members: 225 through party-list voting and 225 from single-member districts, where they choose a specific candidate. As Meduza reported severa

Nestlé has already lost control of its 6 Russian factories under Putin-ordered external administration. Recent statements promising "business as usual" come from the new Russian manager, not the OG-HQ. Switzerland is trying (diplomatically) to help the co. regain control. https://www.nzz.ch/wirtschaft/ruscafe-statt-nescafe-nestle-droht-in-russland-das-danone-drehbuch-ld.10025029

Wird aus Nescafé bald Ruscafé? Nestlé verliert Kontrolle in Russland

Durch die von Wladimir Putin angeordnete Zwangsverwaltung hat Nestlé die Kontrolle über ihre russische Tochtergesellschaft verloren. Nun soll der Bund helfen, in Moskau das Schlimmste zu verhindern.

That post-election autumn air is here: Russia’s Finance Ministry has proposed a 22% VAT on foreign marketplace purchases & a 100-ruble charge on parcels worth up to €200. Two weeks after saying tax increases were not under consideration, Kremlin spokesman Peskov declined to discuss the ministry's proposals. https://t.me/theinsider/52392 https://t.me/novaya_europe/67462

Finland has no Patriot missiles to give Ukraine & Defense Minister Antti Häkkänen won't say what air defense it is sending. As a frontline state, he said, Finland can't endanger its own readiness. US industry can cover the acute shortage, he said, but it's slowed by bureaucracy. https://www.is.fi/politiikka/art-2000012190107.html
