It wasn’t the pontiff’s first swipe at the American president.

“It’s like modern-day slavery.” Former models for Donald Trump’s agency say they violated immigration rules and worked illegally.

Twelve-year-olds in charge of our military. What could go wrong?

We will all feel the pain.

Growing up the son of two cops, I remember what it was like watching my mom have to figure out which bills to pay. I know what families are up against right now, and that’s why I’m focused on bringing down costs and making life affordable again for working class folks.

🩸🩸🩸 NEVER FORGET: Instead of honoring our Constitution's key principle of a Peaceful Transfer of Power, POS Donald Trump Abused his Power on Jan 6th by inciting this violent & deadly attack on our country's Capital and should be in prison for life 🩸🩸🩸

Next time you look at your greatly increased monthly bill for healthcare, remember that Republicans chose to use the money set aside for supplements to defray your costs to, instead, invade Venezuela to make ExxonMobil even richer. Thank them with your votes.

I've been tooting this horn since the first fishing boat bombings started...

Defend Greenland. Defend Europe. Defend Canada. #ArcticDefence

The billionaire Tesla CEO shared an AI-generated video of Venezuelans crying tears of joy and thanking the president.

I'm only gonna say this just this one time;For those people that said that you're not gonna vote & think or said that voting doesn't matter...I guess you got proven wrong.

'Nobody is celebrating, everyone feels so afraid about what is going to happen next'

Trump bets on intimidation to force Venezuelan leaders into line reut.rs/44YbKdH

A US military operation captures Nicolás Maduro, risking further turmoil in Venezuela amid political uncertainty and potential international repercussions, while raising questions about legality and U.S. involvement in Latin America's future, particularly regarding oil interests.

So today the monks Walk for Peace details. Day 71 (1/4/2026) Begins - We have just started our walk from Arnoldsville, Georgia, heading east through Crawford to Lexington. The journey continues through Georgia, one step at a time. We warmly welcome everyone to visit us at our stops! 🖖

This would be cringily appalling if it were not so appallingly cringey. Also a junior varsity attempt at being Fox News will not work.

Amazing how quickly you can soil yourself and rep www.thedailybeast.com//maga-coded-...

Trump is weak at home, and he can be stopped – so long as the domestic political logic of foreign intervention is recognized and turned against him. This act of war is about regime change in the United States. It only succeeds if Americans allow it to do so. snyder.substack.com/p/venezuela-...

President Trump’s unauthorized military action in Venezuela is unconstitutional, dangerous, and an impeachable abuse of power. Congress alone has the authority to declare war and Trump is once again ignoring the law to serve his own interests. My full statement:

Now that Republicans finally released the video and transcript of Jack Smith’s deposition (hidden on New Year’s Eve), it’s time to grant Smith’s request to testify in a public hearing like every other Special Counsel has done. The American people deserve to hear the truth live.

Republicans let ACA tax subsidies expire, and millions of Americans are now paying the price. No plan. No vote. No relief. If the GOP is serious about helping the American people, extending these subsidies should be an easy yes. Put it on the floor and get it done.

Instead of admitting that his economy is failing the American people, Trump is once again using immigrants as scapegoats for his own ineptitude. Ballrooms, gold-plated renovations, and self-aggrandizing arcs won’t do anything to lower grocery costs or rent prices. The Trump economy is a bust.

None of Trump's wrongheaded ideas are more wrong than his notion that the people who kiss his ass actually respect him. ICYMI @monacharen.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/4seItFL

TRUMP: "I'm going to run Venezuela." Oh, honey . . . you can't even run the Kennedy Center.

In the first year of Trump’s second term, he imposed his thuggery on the United States. In the second year, apparently he will impose it on the hemisphere. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/thug-world

The president’s list of countries he’s considering invading continues to grow.

As punishment for alleged drug dealing, Venezuela will be ruled by a Viceroy whose brother-in-law was a drug dealer who paid for the Viceroy's parents' house with money he made from selling cocaine. Hypocrites make the very best scolds.

This is surreal to see with the feeble old president falling asleep behind him

“This is clearly a blatant, illegal and criminal act,” said a former assistant U.S. attorney.
