Following the record: lawsuits, executive orders and the money, sourced to the filing.
The full list as signed, with dates - the primary record rather than the coverage of it.
Time remaining to noon on 20 January 2029, the moment fixed by the 20th Amendment, plus debt and key dates.
Every case we track, and what a court has actually decided in each - filed, certified, settled or judged.
Claims we have checked, with the primary source for each one.
Every report here starts from a primary record - the docket, the filing, the Federal Register notice, the agency release. Where a matter is contested we say who contests it. A complaint asserts and a court finds, and we do not blur the two.
The executive-order tracker lists what was signed and when. The second-term clock runs to noon on 20 January 2029, the moment fixed by the 20th Amendment. Our lawsuits desk follows the class actions and settlements tied to the administration, from the complaint through to the court's ruling.
Treasury has eased sanctions on Russian oil at least five times since March, starting with cargoes bound for India. Here are the licenses in order, what each one allowed, what officials promised, and what oil and diesel prices did afterward.
A status check on the Ukraine peace talks as of October 13: the Miami meeting cut short, a proposed trilateral round Moscow says it has no plans for, Rubio calling a deal unattainable for now, and heavier strikes on both sides.
Trump declared an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine on October 11 and said both sides had agreed. Kyiv says it supports one; Moscow has confirmed nothing. Here is what each side said, what happened on the ground, and how the 2025 energy truce ended.
The New York Times reported that U.S.-Russia talks on Ukraine grew to include a multibillion-dollar sale of Lukoil’s foreign assets, with a Trump donor reportedly leading the buyers. No official has confirmed it. Here is what was reported, who is named, and what Treasury’s own license permits.
Volodymyr Zelensky said on Friday, Oct. 9, that easing sanctions on Russian diesel hands Moscow more money for its war, while his negotiators sat with Trump envoys in Florida. Trump answered that Ukraine needs a new president. Here is the record of what each side said.
The Graham Sanctioning Russia Act gives President Trump until Oct. 18 to put its tariffs and sanctions in place. Nine days before that date, his Treasury opened the door to Russian diesel. Here is what the law requires, how it can be waived, and why critics doubt it will bite.
Collins, Murkowski, Tillis and Curtis signed an Oct. 11 statement telling the Trump administration to reverse its Russian diesel deal. Here is what each Republican critic said, how the White House answered, and how every one of them voted on the 2022 ban.
Diesel averaged $6.199 a gallon in the government’s Oct. 5 survey, after an AAA record in September. Energy agencies blame the Iran war, the Hormuz shutdown, lost Gulf and Russian exports and thin inventories. Here is the record, and where Trump’s Russian diesel fits.
Trump says Russian diesel will drive pump prices down fast. CNBC calculates the full promised volume at roughly ten days of U.S. demand, Goldman sees a wholesale effect of a dollar or two a barrel, and the national diesel average rose in the days after the deal.
Lawmakers from both parties say Treasury’s October 9 license for Russian diesel conflicts with the 2022 law banning Russian energy imports. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says they are wrong. Here is the statute’s text, each side’s argument, and what no one has yet tested in court.
We cover the Trump administration because that is the beat, and we report what documents say rather than what either side says about them. Where a claim is contested we name who contests it and link both records.
Primary sources: court dockets and filings, the Federal Register, agency press releases and rulemaking notices, SEC filings, state Attorney General announcements and inspector-general reports. Each report links the document it is built on.
No. We report what a settlement covers and link the official claims administrator, which is the only place that can answer eligibility. We are not lawyers and nothing here is legal advice.
The executive-order tracker lists orders as signed, by date. The second-term clock counts to noon Eastern on 20 January 2029, the moment fixed by the 20th Amendment. Both run in your browser from published figures, with the sources set out on each page.
The site may carry contextual advertising, which never determines what is covered or how. We do not accept payment to feature a case, a firm or a claim, and we do not publish sponsored reports.
