The oil robbery at the expense of our troops isn't the distraction. But the timing is.

Your activism will be even more important this year. Here are 10 crucial things you can do in 2026. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-you-can-do-in-2026

My weekly email to my Congressman…

Trump to Putin: I'm taking Venezuela – you can have Ukraine. 99% of the world: Eff both of you.

Cuba is next? www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Bingo Bongo bounced. No beans spilled. Verbally he's still towing the line and not dishing any dirt. I imagine he's been told it's a bad idea to talk about the Epstein files and all the behind the scenes fighting about them. www.rawstory.com/dan-bongino-...

Can't wait to hear Mike Johnson explain how he hasn't been watching the news or social media, and he didn't even know about Venezuela.

Trump is weak at home, and he can be stopped – so long as the domestic political logic of foreign intervention is recognized and turned against him. This act of war is about regime change in the United States. It only succeeds if Americans allow it to do so.

bottom line is she's cool with 40 or more innocent people losing their lives

Marco says there’s too much to do to get an election going this soon. Read: We haven’t secured our preferred puppet yet.

Agree or disagree with the merits of the operation, you can't help but be in awe of the Wehrmacht's Blitzkrieg of Poland

WE WILL NEVER FORGET #DonaldJ6Trump did this

Whoa! 🚨 BREAKING: The Atlantic is reporting that Trump just threatened the VP of Venezuela. TRUMP: “If she doesn’t do what’s right, she’s going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro.” So if she doesn’t go along with the get-along and give the US their oil, he’s coming for her too.

If you want to commit theft in Trump’s America, you have to do it bigly.

“What’s right” for Trump is letting his billion dollar big oil donors come in and plunder their oil for pennies on the dollar.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Trump said the US is going to 'run Venezuela.' Under what legal authority? RUBIO: We want a better future for the people of Venezuela STEPHANOPOULOS: I'll ask again -- what is the legal authority? RUBIO: We have court orders

trump said Kamala Harris would bring war in six months. He brought six in a year. Projection dressed up as prophecy. Accusation as confession. They shout fire while striking the match, then blame the smoke.

Sen. Van Hollen: "It's my view that the Trump administration has been lying to the American people. This has never been about stopping drugs…This from the beginning has been about getting rid of Maduro, grabbing Venezuela's oil for American oil companies and Trump's billionaire buddies."

Saying the quiet part out loud. The previous Presidents felt they needed to justify their actions to prevent removal by impeachment. Trump, having survived 2 impeachment proceedings, and backed by an army of radicals who keep Congress in line with violent threats, is untethered.

These clowns have always had bloodlust for killing brown people and stealing their oil

Make no mistake DJT = George W. Bush. Invade country for oil ✅ Lost popular vote ✅ Tax cuts for the rich ✅ Tanked the economy ✅ Bungled a natural disaster ✅ Naked corruption ✅ This is who Republicans have always been & ALWAYS WILL BE. It was never about “America first” it was always citizens last

Who is running America right now, for that matter????

STEPHANOPOULOS: In your view, who is running Venezuela right now? SCHUMER: Nobody knows

Schumer: "Rubio I just heard in your interview said they're doing what's good for the American people. If they want to do what's good for the American people, it should not be some escapade in Venezuela. It should be focusing on lowering the cost of living that Americans are struggling with."

Holy fucking shit, marco rubio is one condescending, disingenuous piece of fucking shit.

Lil Marco doesn’t understand he’ll be the fall guy when all this goes sideways

“Remove one guy, keep the system, declare victory, act offended when questioned.” Rubio knows this is all going to unspool.

The worst actor in this regime is not trump or Vance or even Miller. It’s Rubio who knows better than the rest of the idiots and drunks what the law is, both national and international. Someone needs to investigate how much $$ Rubio is making from this escapade and all the other trump driven grifts

Republicans have a real tendency to rely on selective listening and selective reading. They don’t select to listen or read to anything that might be problematic.

Marco Rubio is claiming that he doesn't know that there were no review or consultation with the FBI or the Prosecution about the former Honduran President. The reality being Trump signed his Pardon after counting the payoff cash. & Moved on to the next suitcases of cash. This is evil Corruption.

Maduro was indicted for having guns in Venezuela, and not Fentanyl, but Cocaine and it goes to Europe. Missing was an indictment for having the largest oil reserve in the world, come on Rubes that's got to be a crime.

"Pardoning a foreign leader isn't something you think the Secretary of State should even know about? What exactly do you think the job of Secretary of State is? What do you do all day beyond go on TV to day you don't know anything about our role in foreign affairs?"

'I didn't see that pardon' is the new 'I didn't read that tweet'

Someone please arrest and remove our indicted shithole for a POTUS

With every statement he proves he IS “Liddle Marco!” He’s more than short in stature: he’s also short on courage, integrity, patriotism, intelligence, and democratic principles.

RUBIO: Maduro was indicted. Nobody ever did anything about it. STEPHANOPOULOS: Hernandez was convicted by a jury RUBIO: The pardon authority is something I'm not involved in STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you support it? RUBIO: I wasn't involved in those deliberations. I haven't looked at the case file.

Trump was indicted and convicted but never served an hour for his crimes. Republicans gave him more power to commit more crimes against more people!

If you dont think troops will have to stay to protect the oil companys' big investments in a destabilized country, I have a war in Iraq to sell you.

excuse me. i watched that speech. he said "We will run that country until we get back what is ours." "what is ours" is the oil that Exxon-Mobil, Shell, Chevron (Std Oil) and others have attempted to STEAL from that nation. it is just like the shit that created the "Arab Oil Embargo" of the 70s...

TRANSLATION: Haven't got a fucking clue.

BRENNAN: To be clear, there is no plan for US occupation of this country of nearly 30 million people? MARCO RUBIO: The president always retains optionality on anything and on all of these matters

Gooood morning everyone

Trump Says We Have the “Hottest” Economy. Markets Tell a Different Story. Under President Joe Biden, the U.S. economy entered 2025 as the “envy of the world.” Under Trump, it exited well behind its peers. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-says...

@michelleroy78.bsky.social with the facts

It’s a new day in New York City, and Zohran Mamdani is asking a fundamental question that everyone else across the country should also be asking: Who should our government work for?
