I believe he's the first acting Archivist of the United States to be deputized to run a foreign country as a side hustle.

NEWS: A source confirms DOJ has NOT provided Congress the legally required explanation for redactions in the Epstein file releases, despite a Jan. 3 statutory deadline under the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

On average, the more than 20 million subsidized enrollees in the Affordable Care Act program are seeing their premium costs rise by 114% in 2026, according to an analysis by the health care research nonprofit KFF.

The White House would like us to forget this, but we will not.

TRUMP: “We need Greenland” The guardrails are gone

💯

Yeah, people are fixating on a Cabinet Secretary being given a sovereign country to run because the president waged war without congressional approval and kidnapped the old leader. Weird that they’d get hung up on that.

The ethical and legal damage will be with us forever but it’s the raging incompetence that will strike first, within the next few days.

THIS WAS AN ACT OF WAR AND A VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAW. But put that aside for a second… What’s wild is that Marco Rubio isn’t even pretending anymore. He’s not hiding that the invasion of Venezuela is about oil. This is going to end up a dumpster fire…

This is how you do it. No preamble to swear to God you don't like Maduro.

REP. GOLDMAN: “Trump promised oil executives if they gave him $1 billion for his campaign, he’d do right by them. They gave about $500 million. This is a massive gift in violation of international law, essentially just co-opting an entire country's natural resources for the benefit of 🇺🇸 Companies.”

Nixon insisted the bombing of Cambodia was just targeting Viet Cong outposts there and not meant to undermine its government, but the bombings destabilized the Lon Nol government and paved the way for the Khmer Rouge’s killing fields and the massacre of more than a million people.

If the Republican Party was an institution suited to hold power in a religiously and culturally pluralistic democracy, it would not allow (let alone encourage) its rising youth to gleefully Hitler post. FWIW, they have now deleted that post with no apology or explanation.

Trump is now likening his attack on Venezuela to his interventions in DC, Memphis, Chicago and LA claiming he has eliminated crime in those places he's truly lost his mind

These people are out of their minds. They are endangering the whole world. This has to stop. This is the wife of the man who is currently running foreign policy for the United States:

Whatever one thinks of Maduro’s catastrophic rule, the use of overt U.S. military force against a South American government marks a profound rupture of regional precedent, writes Oliver Stuenkel.

KIDNAPPING, NOT CAPTURE

So we’re just announcing foreign strikes and kidnappings of foreign leaders on social media now? No Congress. No explanation. This is madness.

There would appear to be very little difference in the manor, execution and legality between Putin's "Special Military Operation" against Ukraine and Trump's attack on Venezuela. Could Trump's appearance of supporting Putin against Ukraine, be about to be rewarded at the expense of Ukraine?

Republicans praise ‘Peace President’ Trump’s latest military action in Venezuela - despite lack of Congressional approval www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Whatever happens now, we absolutely cannot allow Trump's refusal to seek Congressional authorization for what appears to be a large scale military attack on another country vanish from the media discussion, which already appears to be happening.

… Elizabeth Warren official statement: “… unconstitutional and threatens to drag the U.S. into further conflicts in the region….”

I’m at Times Square, where an emergency “No War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20°F weather. “No more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!” “No boots on the ground no bombs in the air, U.S. out of everywhere!”

There’s a new game being played. Democrats need to wise up.

"Trump thrives on the ineffectiveness of his opponents. The operation in Venezuela is a warning that Trump’s imperial ambitions are growing. An ineffective anti-Trump movement is an indulgence American democracy cannot afford or accept." - @davidfrum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

It's seriously way overdue that Trump and the Republicans get added to the list of international terrorists.

It’s the oil. zeteo.com/p/venezuela-...

The president unilaterally decided to attack a sovereign nation and kidnap its leader, and now he says he's just going to run that county himself for a while too. Call your representatives now and demand they impeach him.

Exactly this.

Now that they’ve started a war I’ve completely forgotten that they’re pedophiles.

BREATHLESS ... and not in a good way.

We’re all owed an apology from rightwing and centrist scholars and pundits who assured us for decades that US war-starting would NEVER be motivated by oil.

Specifically, a protest song about how the sons of the rich were able to avoid fighting, like fighting-age Donald Trump who got four deferments for being in college and another for bone spurs.

The House Armed Services Committee also was not briefed, I've confirmed.
