Watching last night's recap of the Trump-Putin summit on Russia's most popular TV talk show. The episode begins with talk of "aggressive" American journalists "who were all about the past," and praising Russian journalists, "who were all about the future."
The host, Vladimir Soloviev, says Melania Trump "was absolutely ecstatic to get the ball from the #WorldCup, which was a very subtle move by President Putin."
And here's @anniekarni in the frame of Kremlin TV.

Dow DuPont donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration. Trump's administration then re-allowed the use of DuPont's pesticide, chlorpyrifos, which is from the same family as sarin nerve gas. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

"The chemical’s effect on humans is the subject of some debate but its toxicity is not in doubt. Acute poisonings, from things like spills or drift, can result in respiratory distress, vomiting, convulsions, unconsciousness and death."

Travel technology à la Russe: You can check in online and get a mobile boarding pass. You cannot scan this mobile boarding pass unless you print it out on paper. How else would the security staff stamp it?
You can buy a train ticket online and get an electronic ticket in your email. You cannot, however, exchange this ticket online. Nor can you change it over the phone. You have to go to a physical cashier’s window at a train station and wait in line.
Why can’t you exchange an e-ticket online or over the phone, I ask the Russian Railways phone operator? “Because,” he says, “we do not have this technological capability.”

Spent the afternoon at a fair of independent Russian designers and artists. Amazing to see Russia’s amazing capacity for creativity in the arts flourishing. ❤️

#Putin's opening to this press conference suggests the takeover of southern #Syria by Asad/Iran is a model of U.S.-Russia cooperation that should be expanded, and flatters Trump that his summit with Kim [which Putin very much liked the look of] resolved the Korean Peninsula.
On #Ukraine, Putin hints broadly that the U.S. agrees with him that Kyiv's intransigence prevented Minsk's implementation, and then carefully lets it be known Trump brought up the election meddling, an assist to Trump politically, before of course dismissing it.
Trump frames engagement around U.S.-Russian co-operation in WW2, notes that unfortunate Cold War business, then says: "Our relationship has never been worse ... that changed as of about four hours ago." Says he is being politically brave to do what's right. Lambastes media + Dems

Amb. Fred Hof (@FredericHof) says #Trump enters into the #Helsinki summit with #Putin with some real leverage on #Syria -- he can increase the chances of a genuine ceasefire & real peace "only if he realizes…”

@FredericHof Ahead of the planned #Trump-#Putin summit in #Helsinki, I spoke with @fordrs58 & @j_feierstein about #Syria -- Are we at the end of the conflict?

The latest @MiddleEastInst podcast, here:
@FredericHof @fordrs58 @j_feierstein @MiddleEastInst The #Trump admin is pivoting to an anti-#Iran posture in #Syria, while hoping #Russia has what it takes to secure #Israel’s interests.

But guess what?

#Israel downed a drone last week flying into the #Golan - it wasn’t Iranian; it was Russian… a "Forpost.” (Via @QalaatAlMudiq)

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
