"this is a distraction from the epstein files" the US just performed an imperialist coup of another nation and declared itself in charge for its resources the people of venezuela just became hostages of the US government and are terrified. it's not a distraction. it's another atrocity.

S. American countries and most of the world) don’t trust the American regime and now Trump has pushed his takeover agenda starting with Venezuela. It’s not only the oil. It’s dominance and fear. He’s making the world less safe. It’s all about him. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

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.

Important thread about all the fake videos and disinformation about the invasion of Venezuela.

Where TAF is Jack Smith in the news now? Less than 48 hrs later? I mean, it was revelatory!

So, I live in Washington State. My family was on state medicaid, Molina Apple Health. My 19 yo son's PT income caused a $464/yr overage. So we were offered WA Molina Cascade Care Vital Gold, no monthly premiums, relatively low copayments. But $464/yr doesn't begin to cover monthly prescriptions, 1/

Trump spent 93 days last year on his golf course. That's 3 entire months that he lived his life of luxury on our dime as opposed to sitting in the Oval Office where a POTUS is supposed to be. And those are just golfing days, not including the many more he spent at his property not golfing.

Not if we do our jobs, it won’t. We need to make sure people are aware of the change, and we need to urge everyone to vote as early a possible in their states. Barring that, we’re going to have to be willing to stand in line to vote on Election Day - we have a nation to save.

Clearly, common sense isn’t that common. Why would any daycare center open the door for a random man? Trump canceled federal subsidy funding for daycare centers in all states based on fake accusations that completely collapsed under the lightest scrutiny. THIS IS PROPER INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING👇🏽

"It's completely unacceptable to see fat generals. It's a bad look and it's not who we are. [Whatever your rank or uniform] you need to meet height and weight standards and pass you PT test." --Pete Hegseth, Sep 30, 2025

🧵FEMA workers are calling it a “New Year’s Eve Massacre” In the final days of the year, the Trump regime began issuing termination notices to FEMA’s Cadre of On-Call Response and Recovery, known as CORE. These are not distant bureaucrats.

The meltdown isn’t the crisis, the SILENCE around it IS‼️

The NY Times opinion spells out the illegal and brazen actions taken by Trump to subvert our constitutional processes and democracy to stay in power and enrich himself. He has had many helpers, including Congressional Republicans and the Supreme Court. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/o...

Why do I have to read an Irish paper for a feature about this?

Vital. Thank you @boltsmag.org @taniel.bsky.social

Having Grok issue an “apology” is not just insulting and stupid (obviously Grok cannot actually “regret” anything, deeply or otherwise) but cowardly: It asks us to assign responsibility to an unconscious piece of software rather than the humans and institutions who should actually be blamed.

Trump's DOJ gagged Smith one hour before testimony, forbade discussing the documents case, then refused to send a lawyer to advise him. They sandbagged their own witness to protect Trump. This wasn't oversight it was obstruction. They're terrified of what he knows.

I have been saying this ... when will Congress stop him. There is something seriously wrong with Trump.

REPORT: Over 35 cases where Federal judges say the U.S. government lied, falsified records, fake declarations, sworn statements built on fiction. Brought to you by the “law and order” party 🤔

House Republicans asked Jack Smith about me. I continue to live rent free in the heads of these MAGA idiots. h/t: @emptywheel.bsky.social

1/ Tina Peters is in prison for criminally breaching election security, not for exposing fraud. No court, audit, or investigation found widespread voter fraud in Colorado. Mail-in voting in Colorado has existed for years, is used by voters across parties, and has been upheld by courts.

The US is trapped in a permanent election cycle; it’s not an accident. Binary parties, unlimited money, and nonstop campaigning are exhausting generations of voters and blocking true governance. This is an important read on how democracy should work. www.patreon.com/posts/electi... #BindingChaos

Marijuana. Not cocaine. Not fentanyl. But a substance that is legal in 40 of 50 U.S. states. The U.S. military has offered no evidence that the boats it has destroyed were transporting illicit substances or belong to criminal networks. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/29/w...

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…” Read that again.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

The NYT gift article is linked in this great timeline. Excellent dive.

The New York Times interviewed over 30 of Jeffrey Epstein’s former employees, victims, and associates. They dug through long-forgotten court cases and lawsuits. The result is one of the most revealing looks into Trump’s sex crimes and friendship with Epstein that we’ve read in years.

The moon and sun share top billing in 2026.
