Republican congressman 👇🏽

Your Honor, we’re still looking for lawyers who passed the bar to join our government thing.

Remarkable statement from the Prime Minister of Denmark, directed at President Trump: “I therefore strongly urge the United States to cease its threats against a historically close ally, and against another country and another people who have stated very clearly that they are not for sale.”

Reporter: Who’s in charge of Venezuela right now? Trump: Don’t ask me who is in charge because I’ll give you an answer and it will be very controversial. Reporter: What does that mean? Trump: We’re in charge.

TULSI GABBARD IN OCTOBER: “For decades our foreign policy has been trapped in an endless cycle of regime change and nation-building."🤔

Checking in on “the peace President” 😕

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.

Republican congressman 👇🏽

WELKER: “Are you running Venezuela?” RUBIO: *wOrDS* 🤷🏽‍♂️ GS: “Under what legal authority?” RUBIO: *moRE wOrDs* 🤷🏽‍♂️ GS: “Again: What legal authority?” RUBIO: *EvEn moRE wORdS* 🤷🏽‍♂️

Himes: "I was delighted to hear that Tom Cotton, chairmen of the Senate Intel Committee, has been in regular contact with the admin. I've had zero outreach and no D I'm aware of has. So apparently we're now in a world where the legal obligation to keep Congress informed only applies to your party."

GS: “Sen. Warner said you can’t argue drug trafficking charges demand invasion in one case while issuing a pardon in another…”🤔 @marcorubio: “Maduro was indicted.” GS: “Hernandez was CONVICTED.” RUBIO: “I wasn't involved in the pardon… I've got other things going on.” 🤷🏽‍♂️

Good Q

So does a Grand Jury now have power to declare war?

“.. Her swift defiance of Mr. Trump made clear that his plans to swoop into the South American nation and run it as his own faced many more hurdles than he suggested ..” @nytimes.com 🇻🇪 www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/w...

No bueno for people of Venezuela. The oil grab gives away that this was not just some law enforcement arrest operation.

The more you know. We are all chimeras at a very small level. You likely have cells in your body from your mother and your siblings that were born before you. How this chimerism influences your immune system is beginning to be unraveled. #Science #ScienceSunday

Pope Leo XIV said Sunday that Venezuelan sovereignty and the good of its people must be the top priority.

BASH: There's no question that Maduro was a destabilizing force in the region. People are celebrating in the streets all over. Is it fair to say there's some benefit in him not being in power? CHRIS MURPHY: What changes? You just heard Sen. Cotton not be able to explain who's running the country

Rep. Darrell Issa: "I'm sure President Trump having learned the lesson of Afghanistan and Iraq has no intention to tell them how to run their country. He has simply liberated them from a strongman."

Watch this. Watch again. "This incredible thing last night... We have to do it again [in other countries]. We can do it again, too. Nobody can stop us."

President Trump said on Saturday that Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as Venezuela’s interim president and would act as a partner in letting the U.S. run the country. Less than two hours later, Rodríguez made clear she viewed the U.S. as an illegal invader that must be rejected.

FLASHBACK — BARI WEISS IN 2020: “Trump is dismantling moral guardrails that keep bigotry down… there’s a reason antisemites are drawn to his banner. It’s not a coincidence violence against Jews has gone up during his presidency.” Now she runs CBS News(max) to help him.

The indictment doesn’t mention oil or fentanyl. Just cocaine. (After he just pardoned the president of Honduras)

I believe this is the latest social media post from the US Director of National Intelligence, who hasn’t otherwise been heard from today.

I remember when they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty.

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

trump is being asked by reporters how he plans to run venezuela and there is clearly no plan.

Just now, from a childhood friend who despises both parties, usually votes libertarian, but voted Trump in 2024 simply because he wanted to shake up the system and viewed Kamala as part of the system - “This trump administration is the most disappointing thing politically in my lifetime.”

Trump's face starts drooping as his eyes keep closing

Trump is heavily slurring this morning

By @rkobell.bsky.social: As Trump targets Black history, one Maryland ranger guards Harriet Tubman’s place in it. (via @thebaltimorebanner.com)

So for months they have tried to blame the entire fentanyl crisis on Venezuela and the indictment only mentions cocaine, which they pardoned a different guy for weeks ago

Massie

No Authorized Use of Military Force. No declaration of war against Venezuela.

My reaction to the U.S. attack in Venezuela (1/2)

WAG THE DOG.

DOJ is still in violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake? TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

So much for a home field advantage…

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars": ".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great." @variety.com $DIS variety.com/2025/film/ne...
