I mean, it’s dangerous to snitch on a criminal gang.

John Bolton: “What I have to say, the most stunning part about the press conference was probably saying the U.S. was going to run the country. But the second most stunning was the assault on Mrs. Machado, the leader of the Democratic forces.” via @kaitlancollins.bsky.social

Jesus Christ. Every Sunday host should be asking every Republican if they think Tim Walz murdered Melissa Hortman. And when they say no, ask what it says about this president that he’s amplifying this garbage.

When the LAPD arrests a dude at a gas station they don’t take over the gas station and use it to gas up all the cop cars tho

I still don’t understand how it could possibly be a violation of U.S. law for a foreign head of state to own or to conspire to own any type of gun in his own country.

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

Yep, almost. Alllllmmmmmooooosssssttttt, almost. And because of their dumb little stunt, millions of American citizens have sworn an oath to completely ignore the FIFA games. They'll need to import some people. Good luck with that, this summer.

In the first year of Trump’s second term, he imposed his thuggery on the United States. In the second year, apparently he will impose it on the hemisphere. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/thug-world

Sir, this is a McDonald's drive thru. Is there someone we can call for you? We hope you get the help you need.

I’m old enough to remember when there used to be a Congress that knows it’s a separate branch of government with actual responsibilities articulated by the Constitution.

The GOP is dominated by gutter trash bigots.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

We need a LEADERS who fight, not someone from the accommodation wing of the party! This is the time to stop jawboning and bring things to a halt, slow walking everything in the House and Senate.

“Trump declared ‘Donroe Doctrine,’ another moment that will stand for ages as an embarrassment to the U.S. and raises the question yet again of whether the commander in chief is cognitively stable enough to be ordering the invasion of other nations” {gift link} www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

The truth seems obvious to anyone willing to open their eyes. Trump has decided that whatever the files contain is more damaging to him than the political cost of keeping them under wraps as the country clamors for their release. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/for-...

@maddow.bsky.social: “There are very few Americans right now who have any idea why the United States did this. If this was about drug trafficking then why did President Trump just pardon the former President of Honduras who was convicted of sending hundreds of tons of drugs into the US?”

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply. I want to make sure this is very clear.

It sure seems that way

“We should take it as a call to arms—that Trump’s America is not our America, that on the 250th anniversary year of our nation’s founding we won’t remain quiet as these thugs escalate their attack on the rule of law & our unbreakable commitment to democracy.” www.americaamerica.news/p/snapshot-a...

With this regime anything is possible…

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

The only way to kick trump out of office is to win the midterms election massively else we are doomed. Because of Trump we’re now a lawless nation! It must not continue.

Isn't it odd that the United States has enough money to suddenly run Venezuela, but not enough to run our own country? There is always cash in the piggy bank for bombs to kill people, but never for healthcare to keep them alive.

Some men will invade sovereign nations rather than refraining from raping teens

Do you think kidnapping the leader of a sovereign country might jeopardize his chances for a Nobel next year?

Already gotten bombed in 2026: 1. Venezuela 2. Pete Hegseth

The “peace” President has started a war.

Even though Maduro is an evil criminal who stole an election, and is probably guilty of the charges in the indictment, the operation to seize him brazenly violated domestic and international law.

Donald J Trump just shared a photo of a shackled and restrained Maduro. A clear violation of the Geneva Convention and a war crime.

Trump Slurs Speech to Make Hegseth Appear Sober

The criminal Trump kidnapped Maduro and his wife in a lawless invasion and proudly threatened other leaders in the region that they could face the same. We are living in a sick rogue state, people.

It took these criminal thugs three days to ruin 2026.

Fuck, there's another world leader who sucks, is lawless, and under which his people are suffering. Canada, please kidnap him and take over.

Hopefully people won’t use the utter lawlessness or recklessness of this to blunder into suggesting Maduro or his government were good, or to disparage the people who have suffered under him.

It appears that someone at NBC has royally screwed up and has prematurely released the cold open of tonight's episode of Saturday Night Live

Bill Ackman asked people on X about voter ID. I decided to take his question seriously and answer it. Become a Democracy Docket premium member to read the entire version of this piece and access all its premium content while support independent media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

No discussion of democracy. No discussion of elections. Plenty of talk by Trump about running the country and taking the oil. Let’s not forget to thank John Roberts for his role in immunizing this international criminal.

George W Bush Celebrates No Longer Having Launched Dumbest War in U.S. History

Trump said that Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado is not qualified to run the country because “her peace prize wasn’t awarded by FIFA.”
