Trump has made himself the most hated person in America, and that’s the way he wants it.

Talking Feds

Talking Feds

Talking Feds is a roundtable discussion that brings together prominent former government officials, journalists, and special guests for a dynamic and in-depth analysis of the most pressing questions in law and politics.

Harry’s special roundtable this week focuses on the fortunes of the Democratic Party. Three top political thinkers—Micah Lasher, Amanda Litman, and Michael Steele—assess Democrats’ prospects in the midterms and 2028. They break down what the party needs to do—beyond opposing Trump—and how it can harness the energy and message of recent progressive successes without falling victim to intra-party division. Finally, they offer their ideas for the longer-term vision of the country that the Dems should stand for.

Russia Ukraine war news today

Here are the latest major developments in the Russia-Ukraine war as of September 3, 2026:

Sustained Aerial Campaigns
Kyiv Under Continuous Fire: The Ukrainian capital has faced Russian aerial attacks for seven consecutive days, with recent barrages injuring at least 13 people and causing damage to sites including the Boryspil area.

Ukrainian Strikes in Luhansk: In the Russian-controlled region of Luhansk, a series of Ukrainian drone strikes killed four people and injured three others, according to Russian-installed regional authorities.

Escalation of Deep Strikes
Russian Skies Declared Unsafe: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has publicly warned airlines that Russian airspace is now “full of our drones and not safe.” He recently ordered the Ukrainian military to triple its daily long-range strikes into Russian territory.

Targeting Logistics and Infrastructure: Ukraine has launched massive waves of drones targeting the Moscow region, specifically hitting major logistics hubs and warehouses—including those belonging to Russian e-commerce giant Wildberries—as well as oil supply infrastructure to disrupt the Russian economy.

Drone Factory Sabotage: Vladimir Tkachuk, a Russian drone factory director who previously showcased equipment to President Vladimir Putin, was seriously injured in a recent targeted car explosion.

Border and Regional Incidents
NATO Airspace Incursion: A NATO fighter jet was forced to shoot down a drone that crossed into Romanian airspace near the border with Ukraine, marking another incident of spillover from the conflict into neighboring territories.

Crimea Shooting: Inside Russian-held Crimea, a Russian serviceman opened fire on fellow soldiers and civilians, killing four people and wounding four others before being apprehended.

To explore these developments further:

Impact of Ukraine’s deep strikes

Status of Western air defense
What is the current status of Western air defense systems and interceptor missiles being supplied to Ukraine?

As of late 2026, the status of Western air defense systems in Ukraine is defined by a critical bottleneck: while the launcher platforms remain largely intact and operational, the supply of interceptor missiles has severely degraded, fundamentally altering the strategic calculus on the ground.

President Zelenskyy noted in August 2026 that the delivery of air-defense missiles from international partners had dropped threefold compared to 2025.

Here is the strategic breakdown of how this shortage is impacting the battlefield:

John Durham and his investigations of FBI

John Durham | Whitey Bulger

M.N.: The FBI issues of dysfunction and problems with legality are not random or sporadic, they appear to be systemic, structural, and deeply rooted. The whole organization and some workers appear to be just as cynical, psychopathic, conniving, and rotten as the very field they are dealing with.

The FBI and the Mob appear to have many common elements in their collective mentality, and it is logical: The primary function of the both groups is to protect and to benefit their respective members. In essence as Norman Mailer observed so aptly, the FBI is a Church which exists to satisfy and to tender to the needs of its members (“the true mediocre”), first of all and most of all.

„At bottom, I mean profoundly at bottom, the FBI has nothing to do with Communism, it has nothing to do with catching criminals, it has nothing to do with the Mafia, the syndicate, it has nothing to do with trust-busting, it has nothing to do with interstate commerce, it has nothing to do with anything but serving as a church for the mediocre. A high church for the true mediocre.“

I think, it was the truth then, and it still is the same truth now.
In 1963, Mailer wrote — as paraphrased in an FBI memo — that the bureau had done more damage to America than the Communist Party. That same year, a magazine quoted Mailer as calling Hoover “the worst celebrity in America.”Nov 15, 2008

All I see now in these #FBI comments are the political attacks on Chris Wray in order to unseat him. Be careful and aware of what you are asking for: the FBI dysfunctions can become worse with the new leader, male-female issue is irrelevant here. I recommend to create THE FBI ADVISARY BOARD, of the best minds in Academia and related fields, and to proceed with the reforms; gradually, cautiously, and prudently, under Mr. Wray, who appears to be committed to these reforms. 14w
