Marco Rubio reportedly has 2028 presidential aspirations, let’s make sure his dirty laundry gets revealed. prospect.org/2025/12/23/n...

The overwhelming majority of the American people and even the Roberts Court agree: this unlawful weaponization of our National Guard must end. It is long past time for our servicemembers to return to their homes and stop being deployed against their own communities. www.npr.org/2025/12/23/n...

Marco Rubio is absolutely blasted here. Just…wow.

👀

Every Democrat in the senate voted to confirm Marco Rubio. Every last one.

"It seems like Marco is the one designing it." Tim Miller and Tom Nichols discuss who's really setting the agenda for American actions surrounding Venezuela.

The-right wing capture of media is terrifying. The Wall Street Journal editorial board would be calling for human sacrifice to increase crop yields if a Dem president was putting up Trump's jobs and inflation numbers

to expose and signalboost these people's neo-Nazi connections in the press while shame still mattered. It's harder now. Huge numbers of men—many more than support Trump—are now trained to see any/all female, POC, and LGBT celebrities and authority figures as inherently unworthy political plants.

The response to this feels somewhat akin to the response to Hillbilly Elegy— that certain liberals must read it and praise it so that they can properly and publicly perform humility to atone for their eliteness. This is despite both of these books being written by Ivy Leaguers.

Everyone involved in the publication and promotion of this book should be embarrassed. It's not a "harsh truth" that COVID mitigation was a mistake, it's ghoulish and false.

The thesis of the book is that early COVID lockdowns weren't worth it and mid-COVID mitigation measures like masks, contact tracing and business closures don't work. This is laughably false and the authors have endorsed the people now running Trump's HHS.

This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

What we’re being told is that a guy who is an adjudicated rapist, who was credibly accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, who paid hush money to a porn star, who cheated on all his wives, who is mentioned hundreds of times in the Epstein files, couldn’t possibly be a sexual predator.

What is...Venezuela, Marco? #cdnpoli

Jesus.

Marco Rubio has decided that if he can have Venezuela, then surely Putin can have Ukraine. Square deal.

Dear Marco Estupido, America would not have gained independence from England without France. Things on another continent: - France - Venezuela - Greenland

⚡️US 'not concerned' about Russia as it ramps up aggression against Venezuela, Rubio says. "We're not concerned about an escalation with Russia, with regards to Venezuela ... I think they have their hands full in Ukraine," U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Dec. 19.

“8 million people have left Venezuela since 2014.” — Marco Rubio on Maduro, Drugs & Immigration

Marco Rubio attempted to remove Maduro in the first Trump regime. Marco failed, got people killed, and he never got over it.

America First Guy wants to start a war with Venezuela, take over Greenland, make Canada into the 51st state, continue the disastrous economic trade war with allies, and keep supporting Israel's genocide. Well done, MAGA.

Trump has zero credibility when he says something is a “national security threat" He says it about Greenland. He says it about Canada. He says it about Venezuela. He says it about anything he wants to control. It’s his excuse for authoritarianism. Trump says NYT is a ‘threat’ to national security.

the idea that invading venezuela would somehow be a distraction from the epstein files sort of falls apart when you realize invading venezuela may in fact be less popular than trump's handling of the epstein files.

This hasn't received much attention but with 2nd seizure of oil tanker of Venezuela it will. The two tankers seized are oil China purchased. Seizures violate International Law. China has taken the issue to the UN. www.reuters.com/world/china/...

Venezuela's parliament has approved a measure that criminalizes a broad range of activities that can hinder navigation and commerce in the South American country, such as the seizure of oil tankers. The bill follows the seizure by U.S. forces of two tankers carrying Venezuelan oil.

I'd much rather have a regime change here in America than in Venezuela, if we're throwing ideas around.

The USAF reportedly shot down an aircraft over Venezuela. Reports state that it was powered by "multiple antlered propulsion units". DOD says the aircraft was operating without a transponder or flight plan and carrying a large quantity of suspicious packages while engaged in "seasonal trafficking".

Are we being prepared for another war? UK says it stands with the “people” of Venezuela and “We remain deeply concerned about ongoing repression in Venezuela, and the everyday struggles of Venezuelans.” www.gov.uk/government/s...

Reminder that Bari Weiss held the 60 Minutes piece on migrant gulags with the suggestion that Stephen Miller (whose number she has) should comment. Maybe if 60 Minutes could just post this video alongside the story, it would meet Weiss's vaunted editorial standards.

Sanctimonious hypocrites Vance, Rubio, Homan will show up for Christmas mass as they terrorize immigrants in the name of their one true lord: Stephen Miller

Just a reminder that Trump has, on camera, bragged about walking in on Miss Teen USA contestants changing and explained his 17-year-old daughter asked him not to “date” girls younger than her. I’m not sure what’s true in the Epstein Files, but when you recall those facts it all seems plausible

Thank goodness Russell Brand is being charged in London so DonOld can’t pardon him 🤡 www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/...

Russel Brand has been charged with rape and sexual assault. I'm super surprised. www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/...

🤭

Nicki Minaj called Donold 'handsome'. Does she need a pardon for something nobody knows about?

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell alone with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew) in a box at Royal Ascot (ETFA…3276)

Brett Ratner, the director of Melania’s documentary backed by Amazon MGM Studios, was accused by multiple women of sexual misconduct and resigned from producing the Oscars over a homophobic slur. He is seen here with Epstein associate and notorious sex trafficker Jean‑Luc Brunel

There are a lot of files in this new dataset that have made me feel this way. I’m still making my way through DataSet 8, but this is some vile shit.

A day after federal agents arrested Epstein in 2019, they were also apparently trying to contact 10 people they called potential 'co-conspirators,' according to a newly released email exchange. All the names were redacted except three: Ghislaine Maxwell, Jean-Luc Brunel, and Leslie Wexner.

😬

“Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, told the FBI in 2023 that Epstein was murdered in his jail cell because he was about to ‘name names.’ Mark Epstein, 71, who has long believed that his brother was killed, also alleged in the tip that President Trump ‘authorized’ the late sex trafficker’s murder.”

This was a very strange thing for him to lie about

The white collars in the trump regime need to go away pretty damn quick.

"Turning tiny Chinese screws for a Japanese company." is back on the table.

“Get ready to work a harder and more dangerous job for less money” seems like a good message heading into the midterms

".. when all the white collar jobs are going away pretty damn quick .."

WASHINGTON (AP) - US consumer confidence falls again in December, sinking to the lowest level since Trump's tariff rollout in April. @apnews.com #ConferenceBoard

So much for “civility” in travel. 🤡
