The thing about Marco Rubio is that he always sucked. It is ridiculous for all the senators who voted for him to pretend that it is so shocking that he sucks.

A company that's been locked out of major markets like the US and Canada has ridden its habit of "making good cars" to the pinnacle of the EV business, while Tesla, with full access and subsides everywhere, is declining due to its "an asshole company that makes bad cars for assholes" strategy.

Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine. No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment. Impeach. Convict. Remove.

If our Congress is committed to the Constitution, to the laws of this country, and to the treaties that secure a global peace, then it must impeach, convict, and remove Trump from office. freespeechforpeople.org/free-speech-...

Gaza's economy has plummeted by 87 percent in two years, deepening poverty and leaving thousands without resources.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has criticised the capture of Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro on X, calling it an 'act of war' and saying the 'blatant pursuit of regime change' affects not just those abroad, but also tens of thousands of Venezuelans in New York.

China urges US to ‘stop toppling’ Venezuelan government, release Maduro https://aje.io/y1mso8

Hitler alleged all sorts of things against the government and leadership of Czechoslovakia. I would advise the "Maduro's no angel" crowd to just stop. Whatever his personal sins and the government's failings, it just isn't the point.

New Painting Video: The Monroe Doctrine Is Bullshit In which I paint a portrait of Nicolas Maduro and rant about the "Monroe Doctrine". Reading by Caitlin Johnstone.

As winter storms batter Gaza and cause catastrophic flooding for millions of displaced Palestinians, Israel has banned 37 international humanitarian organizations from working in the Strip, which is reliant on these organizations for survival. mondoweiss.net/2026/01/amid...

Despite the mutual admiration between Zionists and fascists, they are usually seen as separate political movements. However, when viewed through the lens of Western racism, colonialism, and imperialism, the connections become clear. mondoweiss.net/2025/12/unde...

People being like, "But Venezuelans are happy about Maduro being gone!" have the memories of goldfish. IN 2003, the narrative was that Iraqis celebrated the U.S. invasion and capture of Saddam. Whether they were happy or not, invading Iraq was still the wrong thing to do.

The last family in the Palestinian village of Yanoun left their home last week, joining a growing list of communities that have been erased from existence through the establishment of Israeli "shepherding outposts" in their place. mondoweiss.net/2026/01/this... #Palestine #Israel

Check out our interview with @jblumgart.bsky.social about Life After Cars!

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani rescinded nine executive orders that his predecessor, Eric Adams, had issued before he left office. Among the orders Mamdani rolled back were a BDS ban, and the adoption of the IHRA definition of antisemitism. mondoweiss.net/2026/01/mayo...

We will either end fossil fuel dependency and the predatory extractivist basis of global production, or they will end us through wars and ecological collapse - all at the same time.

If you had AltNOAA fiercely defending Bridget Bardot's anti-Islam racism on your 2026 bingo card, you need to quit buying your cards from Delphi. That's cheating.

The U.S. intervened to oust governments in Latin America a total of at least 41 times — about once every 28 months from 1898 to 1994 — including 17 cases of direct intervention by the U.S. armed forces, intelligence agencies, or locals employed by U.S. government agencies.

Does not inspire confidence!

it’s honestly incredible to hear a mayor talk like this about transportation and the harm that comes from cars

How are voters meant to understand how serious things are if in lieu of shouting fire AND going into building with hoses, you're simply posting fire safety suggestions on social media? Not introducing articles of impeachment is a message that Trump hasn't committed impeachable offenses.

As an American Citizen: The rest of the world needs to start treating the US like the US treats the rest of the world.

The political battle cry of 2026 is: Impeach. Convict. Remove. Violation of Article 1 Section 8 and the War Powers Act. Enough of this dictator crap that managed to destabilize the entire geopolitical stage. Call your reps at the Capitol Switchboard (202) 224-3121 DEMAND IT.

Watch this. Watch again. "This incredible thing last night... We have to do it again [in other countries]. We can do it again, too. Nobody can stop us."

The War Powers Resolution as Congress designed it requires withdrawal if both houses pass a concurrent resolution. SCOTUS gutted that with Chadha, so now it's subject to an inevitable veto. Instead of affirmative approval, presidents in effect only need at least one third in at least one house.

I want to remind everyone that the US has sanctioned members of the International Criminal Court for going through a formal legal process to identify international leaders who engaged in war crimes, making them vulnerable to arrest.

Given everything happening right now, I updated this article with options for weather apps, web forms, and translation services — along with some tweaks to existing categories. I hope it helps your transition off US tech!

That Donald Trump did not wake up today impeached for the third time is a disgrace to the United States, our democracy, and our Constitution.

Because 99% of our media SUCKS. Fascism requires a complicit media, and we have had that since at least 2015. May they all rot in hell.

We should be all extremely concerned that Gaza and the West Bank has fallen off the news agenda. Since the so called ceasefire Israel has killed 1000 Palestinians and banned over 30 well respected humanitarian orgs. Gaza is also grappling with flooding, high winds & extreme cold.

They're on vacation. If they're not on vacation, they're podcasting. If they're not doing the above, they're *fundraising*. If we make it through this, we really need to create real laws to keep these losers in check. Do your fcking job or be fired by the people who elected you.

AMERICANS DO NOT SUPPORT THIS ILLEGAL, UNPROVOKED, AND UNNECESSARY WAR. Trump must be removed from office.

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

US Politicians on both sides:

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.”

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."

From November 9: President Petro was not wrong.

It would be a lot less maximalist and likely to succeed if the dems simply called for Maduro to be released. But they won't do that because the dems do not oppose Trump on Venezuela they just want in on the plunder to follow.

Canada, along with the rest of the world, needs to see the writing on the wall.

Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.

I feel like I’m going insane, there is, like, an actual Venezuelan government that still exists

Bombing another country and kidnapping its leader would also be wrong with Congressional approval. The outrage, and call for impeachment, should be over the evil and illegal outcome not merely the failure to follow the prescribed process.

Now that Colombia is threatened, by my count this is now ten countries. Iran, Afghanistan, Nigeria, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Canada, Greenland, Panama, 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."

WHAT

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

Nah, Democrats will continue to.... fundraise. 🤡

Yeah it’s long past time people understand this. Remember how the ACA had to be watered down because the Democrats lost their filibuster proof majority? They make up rules and change them in whatever way helps them do as little as possible.
