Jack Ryan breaks it down.

It’s hypocritical to oppose Russia forcing its will on its neighbors for imperialistic reasons if you support the US doing the same to Venezuela

A CBS News staffer told me this after Tony Dokoupil kicked off his CBS Evening News tenure tonight with a lengthy Pete Hegseth interview: "If this is what Bari and Tony’s CBS Evening News is going to look like, then the we may as well just call ourselves Trump Administration State TV. Pathetic."

The National Park Service is spending at least $54.2 million to repair fountains and water features at seven locations throughout Washington, D.C.m over the next few months, according to procurement records reviewed by The Post.

I suspect two of the hot words for 2026 will be “impeach” and “remove”

Several U.S. Air Force C-17 transport aircraft arrived in the UK. The purpose of the flights has not been confirmed. One of C-17A arrived at RAF Fairford from Campbell Army Airfield in Kentucky earlier tonight, and departed Fairford and is now on approach to land at Ramstein Air Base in Germany.

The New York Times has just confirmed that 40 civilians died in President Trump's invasion. This is the aftermath in one area

Swalwell: He couldn't run a casino, and now he's going to run a country in South America while he fails to run a country in North America?

Hours after Venezuela operation, U.S. sent warning to governments of Mexico, Cuba and Colombia that their countries could be next — Axios

Colombian President Petro commenting on the US; “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy. To keep Epstein's list from coming out, they send warships to kill fishermen & threaten our neighbor with invasion for their oil."

Never before seen footage‼️ Tornado genesis of the Clear Lake, South Dakota tornado earlier this year. @myradar.bsky.social #tornado #weather

After Poland, Hitler Says All of Europe is in Play

In Peru, when Pedro Castillo’s govt fell, the cartels that run organized crime accepted his weakened successor, Dina Boluarte, on one condition: you work for us now. Replace her for Delcy Rodríguez and add US oil barons to the mix and that’s what is happening in Venezuela

The military is as porous as sponge under Hegseth. It's not the media's job to do his. It's their job to expose him as a corrupt, continuous screw-up so our military can be protected by not having a chatty white supremacist drunk who is chummy with Russia in charge.

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

40 civilians died.

Regime change in Iraq, Afghanistan, & Libya killed millions of innocent people—all for oil. Trump admits his goal is to take over Venezuela to control their oil. 40 people have already died in Trump’s bombings, and if he isn’t stop that number will skyrocket. This is why I fear for Venezuela. 3/3

I don’t understand how the first reaction from leadership isn’t “This is an impeachable offense. My colleagues must defund Hegseth and begin drafting articles immediately.” Like, even if it doesn’t get done, how are you not planting this flag in the ground immediately?

Regime change in Afghanistan to remove the Taliban resulted in the return of the Taliban Regime change in Iraq to remove Saddam Hussein resulted in the rise of Daesh (ISIS) Regime change in Libya to remove Ghadaffi resulted in chaos and a decade plus of civil war 1/3

"Unilaterally attacking a sovereign nation is an act of war and a violation of federal and international law." Not shying away one fucking bit, Zohran Mamdani calls out Trump's imperialist pipe dream of attacking, occupying, plundering and pillaging Venezuela of its oil and resources.

It’s the United States that needs regime change.

Rubio "Cuba is a disaster. It's run by incompetent, senile men." As Trump tries to stay awake.

The president of Cuba is 65. Trump is 79

Once again, one of the primary reasons we have arrived at this point (completely out-of-control & unconstitutional abuse of executive power to conduct wildly illegal foreign policy) is that no one, including the most senior people involved, went to jail for the rest of their lives for Iran-Contra.

Completely agree. Always pull these threads back to the Reagan Administration and Bush I.

Rep. Seth Moulton: "This is insane. What the hell are we doing? ... this is illegal."

And there ya have it… Officials from top Wall Street firms will be traveling to Venezuela to investigate “investment prospects” of the country. “The trip will feature about 20 officials from the finance, energy and defense sectors.”

I asked Chevron if anyone at the company had any communication with the White House prior to the U.S. military strike on Venezuela.

Everything Trump is saying suggests he spoke with oil companies and reached an agreement before they did this. I’m not sure how else he could say this so confidently.

They’ve got Twitter up on the big screens in Trump’s Mar-a-Lago makeshift “situation room.” Photos from Trump’s Truth Social account.

Especially since there’s not even the pretense of security enforcement at Mar A Lago. Anybody can pay the price of admission (or cake on enough makeup to get through the front door) and then log onto the WiFi and just surveil the war plans.

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated. According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

This isn’t the first time that the nation with the most powerful military in the world morphed from a democracy to a rogue authoritarian state that invades other countries for profit and resources. See 1939.

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

You probably didn't know this, but the Department of Justice is now reviewing MORE than 5.2 million documents related to the Epstein files.

It is always the same story. The warmongers will tell you that there was no other choice, that this war will bring peace, that everybody killed was bad and everybody good is safe at home. The answer is and has always been no. No to this war. No to all wars.

News: Gang of Eight in Congress were only notified about Trump's Venezuela operation after it began, source familiar tells me. That means the heads of the Intelligence Committees in Senate and House were *not* consulted. Just crazy.

The bombing of the Venezuelan capital of Caracas has begun. My God. Another republican president and another illegal war.

#BREAKING from me and Jennifer Jacobs - additional reporting on the strikes in Venezuela.

Praying for the safety of Venezuelans. We’re so very sorry. We’re run by incompetent fascists. Someday.

Fuck you, Pete Hegseth

The world must boycott the World Cup and the Olympics. It is both the only moral choice and will actually get the attention of these dead-eyed clout demons.

Trump administration aware of reported explosions in Venezuelan capital, CBS reporter says reut.rs/3N0OiXb

Jack Smith's deposition must be bigger news "There is no historical analog for what..Trump did..[H]e was free to say he thought he won..He was even free to say falsely that he won..But..he was not free to..violate federal law and use knowingly false statements..to target lawful government function"

Mamdani has only been Mayor for a day & criminals are already fleeing New York

The next Democratic president needs to be prepared to do this immediately in re: every single one of Trump's executive orders since January 20, 2025.

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this. He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

BREAKING: New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani issues executive order revoking all executive orders signed by Eric Adams after September 26, 2024, the date of Adams’ indictment.

What the KENNEDY Center used to be… Remember that time Aretha Franklin performed at the 2015 Kennedy Center Honors, paying tribute to Carole King, who co-wrote “You Make Me Feel Like A Natural Woman,” and it brought a tear to Obama’s eye and everyone to their feet? And Carole King’s reaction. Wow.
