As they always do.

From what I’m seeing reported so far, no one yet knows what is happening. There are a number of plausible potential scenarios, so it’s best not to speculate.

I mean, a lot of them have done it before.

I don’t understand why anyone with a shred of decency is still using Twitter.

Stephen Miller and his corrupt worldview deserve to be parked in the dustbin of history.

District 3 is my home and I would be proud to serve it in City Council. Stay tuned for more.

Moving Montana to Wyoming is a war crime. And what the hell language is the west coast?

One of the most lopsided results you'll ever see in a poll, from our weekend Washington Post poll www.washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

This is going to go grrrrrrrrrrr-eat!

once again encouraging you all to support billionaire-free, worker-run, independent newsrooms how and where you are able

“What do we call it when a stronger person decides to rob a weaker person because he can? It is just gangsterism. We are the most dangerous gangsters in the world today. Not in the sense of being charming rogues or alluring antiheroes. We are the bad guys.”

Mafia shakedowns. Who wouldn’t want Tony Soprano or Fredo Corleone (Donald Trump) to win a peace prize? Their violence is peace!

It'll be interesting to see what happens when he starts murdering white people.

2026 off to a wild start!

This is nineteenth century Great Power “sphere of influence” talk, essentially no different than Russia‘s view of Ukraine or the rest of its “near abroad.” It’s been said before, but really worth underlining now: The Trump admin is overthrowing the very post-1945 world order the US itself built.

2026 is the year we level up The Pulaski Institution in our mission to promote democracy in the heartlands. I’m so proud of what we’ve done so far on an almost non-existent budget, and I know we have a unique vision that is more relevant than ever. Won’t you join us? www.zeffy.com/en-US/donati...

One thing all Democrats running in 2026 and 2028 should be explicit about is a promise that regardless of pardons, the crimes committed by everyone in this administration will be investigated and published.

Josh Marshall on the mistaken assumption that there is “a” reason why we attacked Venezuela. I have an odd perspective on this, since I spent ages fixating on the analogous question about Iraq. It started when I noticed that none of the books about how we went to war in Iraq mentioned a DECISION.

Lions playcalling has been abysmal this year. This game is the whole season in a nutshell. So much opportunity squandered for no reason.

The “Venezuela distracts from Epstein” line is ridiculous because 1) many awful things happen at once 2) Same Iran-Contra crowd pushing Venezuela invasion are or were involved with Epstein/Maxwell 3) Epstein associates (for ex, Dershowitz) want Iran invasion and see Venezuela as a test run for Iran

Musk practicing his super villain finger steeples.

It only gets worse for them from here.

They’ll be handing out turkeys like Nino Brown! Such selfless criminals!

It would be so cool if the United States Congress still existed.

This one is resonating today. #Andor

Not wrong.

Hey, national Dems on this here b”site, I see a lot of you are having trouble describing objective reality. Here’s a freebie: “Donald Trump is an adjudicated crook, rapist, and now a war criminal. We will stand against everything he tries to do, and will hold EVERYONE who enables him accountable.”

"They use us to avoid addressing their own problems."

dumbest motherfucker in the game

It’s been clear for many hours now that Trump isn’t and won’t be “running” Venezuela. But because he said it, the elite media headlines it anyway.

Little boys stuck in the late 1800s

Nothing about these guys is subtle, I’ll give them that

The WH is gloating that they own CBS now. And they do. CBS News is now a fully functioning extension of the Right's largest propaganda network in human history.

Hey, a statement with actual substance.

So our commander-in-chief has killed at least 150 Venezuelans, or other nationalities, in the last couple months for a conflict no one campaigned on or asked for, and that Congress has abdicated. And there is no end in sight.

Schumer still does not understand that those private conversations aren’t what GOP Senators really think. Their public support for Trump is what they really think. The private comments are performative, designed to lull Senate Democrats into complacency and inaction.

There is no plan "State Department did not immediately respond to questions about how the U.S. would run Venezuela, what authority it would use to administer it or whether it would involve any American personnel — either civilian or military — on the ground in Caracas or other areas of Venezuela."

it's like Iraq, only stupider. in Iraq you had McKinsey people eating it, these guys are just thinking they are the blues brothers in the chase scene except they are plowing through elderly people on the cross walk before hitting a wall.

I keep saying it but chopping down the Presidency’s unilateral powers needs to be the #1 priority of the next real Congress.

Once again.

Trump: hello? YO WHAT THE FUCK MAN

So he just called Susan Collins?

What Founding Fathers?

Why is there a rewards system for people who gamble on world chaos? (Rhetorical question.)

just like Gaza

Hey I don’t know who else needs to hear this but I wish someone had told me this a few hours ago: Don’t forget to eat today. Drink some water. Take your meds. Remember to work out after you leave angry VMs for your senators. You need to keep up your strength to fight the good fight.

I’ve been working full time to stop this war since last summer and the one scenario I feared the most is materializing — Trump is making a play for Venezuela’s oil. I’m not saying an insurgency will definitely form, but Trump’s ploy creates the perfect storm for an absolutely disastrous occupation.🧵

That’s not a “no”

Mark Kelly puts out a statement saying "The President of the United States just overthrew a foreign ruler and explained to the American people that this is about taking control of the oil reserves of a foreign nation." This is probably the strongest statement alongside Gallego's I've read.
