James Talarico: Military disasters like the Iraq War robbed this nation. How do you look a parent in the eye and tell them you've sacrificed their child's life for Big Oil's bottom line? As US Senator, I will never vote to send someone's son or daughter to war to make billionaires richer.

Love him

First I thought this a couple times a month. Then it was weekly. Then every other day. Then every morning. Now? It's hourly.

The Donroe Doctrine

Javier, our CEO, hopes your holiday break was everything you needed it to be. It is understandable if you need a bit more time to get reacclimated this morning. He hopes 2026 brings you love, happiness, and plenty of good dogs. He is comfortable handling that last one ❤️

Today the Pentagon censured Senator Mark Kelly and moved to strip part of his earned military retirement benefits for stating the truth. This administration is trying to convince Americans that truth is whatever it says it is—even when the evidence is plainly in front of us.

Seeing that Vladimir Putin interferes with our elections, can he be kidnapped too?

According to Trump's Dumbroe Doctrine, all Greenland has to do is indict Stephen Miller then send in planes to attack his compound and extract him and his annoyance of a wife - and it'd be entirely legal 🤷🏼‍♂️

Almost five years to the day since Trump tried to overthrow the U.S Government, people are expressing surprise that he’s overthrown another and is threatening to overthrow more. All those ‘don’t take him seriously’ journalists and ‘commentators’ should hang their heads in shame.

Rules for thee but not for me Republican 365:1

Do as I say, not as I do. Republicans 24:7

The president against remote work has been at his house in Florida for 3 weeks.

Per WASH POST, Stephen Miller will play an “elevated role” in Venezuela (what could go wrong!) and Machado won’t be president because she accepted the Nobel Peace Prize Trump wants (yes, seriously) Couldn’t make it up if we tried www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

MacCALLUM: You have about 100,000 dying from drug overdoses, most of those drugs from from Venezuela and other places CROW: That's actually not true. The majority of the deaths by drugs in America are the result of meth and fentanyl. Almost none of that comes from Venezuela

MN is majority blue. I doubt in this current client that a GOP would win a Senate seat in MN.

Mark Kelly: “How many generations of Donald Trump’s family served in the military - Zero - for me, service to my country is in my blood— Donald Trump - he deferred the draft five times because he had bone spurs. Four generations of service earns me the right to speak. Five deferments earns nothing”

Nicolás Maduro Charged With Felony Oil Possession

Walz: "We've got conspiracy theorists, right-wing YouTubers, breaking into our daycares, demanding access to our children. We've got the president demonizing our Somali neighbors and wrongfully confiscating funds that Minnesotans rely on. It's disgusting and it's dangerous."

You can't make me afraid. Immigrants. They commit crimes 10x less than citizens. I don't fear them. Drugs? Oh please, you want to tell me it's ok to buy 10 gallons of vodka but not a joint? I don't fear them. The only thing I truly fear in 2026 are the Evangelical Christians and their faux leader.

Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.

Jeffries: "This is a law enforcement operation that involved an elite unit of the military, it involved direct military strikes in Venezuela. And we're supposed to believe this was a law enforcement action? Make it make sense. It was military action without explicit approval by Congress."

I will be Honest. The current regime is more likely to do it to Zelensky than Putin.

"America is an oil company with an army." —George Carlin

I miss the days when Congress and the Supreme Court existed.

We are a country whose Constitution, according to the Supreme Court, gives our own presidents immunity for crimes committed while in office, but we will prosecute presidents of other countries for alleged crimes and invade them to execute arrest warrants.

Shocker

The wealthy are always so GD worried some poor people are gonna commit some small time fraud. Meanwhile, big corporations are committing HUGE afraid. Just look at defense contractors. Why? Because we have all been taught to see the wealthy as virtuous and to see the poor as lazy and unworthy.

The story of what’s happening in Venezuela is unfolding quickly and big questions are mounting. The immediate danger in Venezuela (and potentially in Columbia and Cuba) is chaos. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-quagmire-of-trumps-venezuela

They're so so SO desperate for a Bin Laden moment... Maduro is no Bin Laden and most Maga couldn't even find Venezuela on a map.

We’re old enough to remember when Congress existed

💯

Denmark PM Mette Frederiksen: “I would therefore strongly urge the United States to stop the threats against a historically close ally & against another country & another people who have very clearly said that they are not for sale" Denmark handles foreign policy for Greenland

Gee. Color me NOT surprised. theintercept.com/2026/01/04/t...

As of this week, millions of Americans are now paying thousands more for health insurance. If the President and Congressional GOP think Washington has the capacity to "run" Venezuela right now, why won't they fix the insurance cost crisis they've created here at home?

Unfortunately..

Sundays are for self care!

So when can you start

The irony is deafening.

My notes on Trump's claim that to make up for corporate losses after Venezuela nationalised oil in the 70s, the US gets to take all of the oil reserves. Trump doesn't need democratic excuses for regime change anymore. All it takes is for a US corporation to have lost a dime due to nationalisation.

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