If it’s all the same to you guys, I’ma move my desk to the countertop right above the dishwasher so my hands can feel warm again

I absolutely HATE it when Marjorie Taylor Greene makes sense.

Nicolás Maduro Charged With Felony Oil Possession

Oh—

Thoughts on Cuba Basic improvements like clean water and reliable electricity would probably be an amazing start to a positive relationship moving forward.

My stove’s glass surface looks ✨pristine✨ rn. Barkeeper’s Friend FTW

Mr. Trump actually said “(to) make Venezuela great again.”

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Oh yeah! It’s #Caturday!

The FIFA Peace prize used to mean something

Read the indictment against Nicolás Maduro here.

Welcome to America, where we’ll arrest YOUR president for crimes but not OURS

With the U.S. moving on Venezuela’s oil industry, the Trump Admin is ticking multiple boxes in the State Department chapter of P2025: Rubio gets to starve Cuba of oil and China is also denied Venezuelan crude. currentevents.blog/2026/01/02/s...

Maduro Captured Congress is furious that Operation Absolute Resolve was conducted without consultation, much less approval.

My daughter is watching reruns of a Disney teen comedy show, I think. If I have to hear another BS laugh track, I’m going to scream.

Venezuela, Iran among Predefined Priorities for U.S. Department of State Aggression against Venezuela was foretold The portions of Project 2025 dedicated to the State Department identified five nations which should be monitored for activities counter to U.S.' interests: China, Iran, Venezuela,…

Nearly everything the Trump Administration has done over 2025 can be traced back to ultraconservative policy positions on everything from presidential powers to marriage equality. Here's a high-level overview.

My 20 year-old looked at me in amazement last night as I warmed up my dinner. “How did you do that?!” She was absolutely STUNNED that one can press the “reheat” button and the food… gets reheated.

Keith’s Holdings Trump & Republicans accountable: today Over 22 Million Americans are facing Unsubsidized & Unaffordable Health Care Premiums on ACA Thank a Republican. Most effected GA, LA, MS, OR, SC, TN, TX, & WV majority Red States. Over 50 % will decline Health Insurance, many will Die.😱😱😡👏👍🇺🇸😎

As with most things with the GOP of late, there's always some element of plausible deniability about their agenda.

Detention of Americans in Venezuela No Deterrent to U.S. Aggression Maduro apparently uses the detainees as "bargaining chips" when in negotiations with the United States. At least some detainees were imprisoned, abused, and subjected to horrible living conditions.

There’s something pretty wrong about wanting to unload the dishwasher just so I can warm my hands.

U.S. Sec of State Rubio behind current actions against Venezuelan Oil U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has long believed the key to regime change in Cuba to fall is regime change in Venezuela.

“Risk of serious adverse outcomes overall increased [15%], while rates of sepsis jumped [200%].”

Making America Exclusive Again Posit: A goal of the Trump Administration and MAGA is to make America a country led by wealthy whites, unopposed by diversity of any kind. wp.me/ph0pnD-3w

Plausible Deniability Dems who likely know this campaign against Venezuela has nothing at all to do with narcotics trafficking get smeared by conservatives for "not caring about our drug epidemic."

U.S. Attacks ISIS in Nigeria — But It’s No Crusade More political theatrics to appeal to Trump's MAGA base. IMHO, the actual objective is access to oil and rare earth minerals to prevent China from getting them.

Re: Another Thought on U.S. Aggression I continue to benefit from correspondence with someone with so much insight. Herewith please find, in whole, her response to "Another Thought on U.S. Aggression".

Another Thought on U.S. Aggression: Bigger than Drugs, Bigger than Oil Destruction of the Venezuelan narcotics traffickers is perhaps thought to cripple the Colombian insurgents who control the rare earth mineral mining operations which supply China

Don’t Blame the Kids The operators providing the intel and the operators manning the guns don't deserve the heat for the attack on suspected narcotics traffickers in the Caribbean.

A Thought On US Aggression Mr. Trump may stand to profit enormously and personally from military operations conducted in various global hot spots.

#Caturday morning

Tonight, we feast.

Are they finally realising he’s a pedo pervert? MAGAworld influencers go silent after latest Epstein files dump mentions Trump numerous times www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

“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, who has long believed that his brother was killed, also alleged in the tip that Trump ‘authorized’ the late sex trafficker’s murder.” | Miami Herald

Per NY Times’s Michael Grynbaum on X, this is Sharyn Alfonsi’s email to her “60 Minutes” colleagues in full:

Today I reached “onederland,” a term used to describe health improvement sufficient to bring one’s weight down below 200 lbs. I haven’t weighed so little since 1987. I probably weighed 280+ at one point. I changed my diet and rekindled my relationship with pushups. Started in February. WORTH IT.
