Withholding $ from Blue States + info etc from Blue members of both Chambers going to happen from now on. They've made it clear (and Comer esp spoke about it today). Until those States and those people start marching in lockstep with Donald Trump they will get nothing and not be recognized.

Nixon insisted the bombing of Cambodia was just targeting Viet Cong outposts there and not meant to undermine its government, but the bombings destabilized the Lon Nol government and paved the way for the Khmer Rouge’s killing fields and the massacre of more than a million people.

The ethical and legal damage will be with us forever but it’s the raging incompetence that will strike first, within the next few days.

Trump casts his actions in Venezuela as a war on drugs. Experts say Venezuela is not a major drug producer, but a minor cocaine transit country, with most of the cocaine flowing through Venezuela heading to Europe not the US. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/w...

Typically Trump considers her a supporter...

🚨🚨🚨 RUBIO and HEGSETH to RUN VENEZUELA That Hegseth part just SCREAMS BOOTS ON THE GROUND www.threads.com/@selinawangt...

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Don’t be fooled: you can’t both claim this was simply the execution of an arrest warrant AND say the U.S. is now "running" Venezuela & grabbing its oil resources. Trump just admitted this was a clear regime-change play to enrich U.S. oil companies & his billionaire buddies.

✳️"Maduro case has been assigned to Judge Alvin Hellerstein of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Judge Hellerstein—whom I have met a couple of times and whose opinions I have written about—is a highly respected, no-nonsense senior judge" www.threads.com/@tobiasbwolf...

⏩ "The 'America First' President Takes in the World" (gift article) www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

It’s worth revisiting this NY Post cover from January 8, 2025 (a year ago), now that Trump is invoking the name “The Donroe Doctrine” to describe his plans.

He is insane. A lunatic with a power hungry support team and surrounded by money-grubbing broligarchs 🤦🤬

“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”

THIS! 💣💥

Check this out. But if you think you're just looking to see where Venezuela is, keep your eyes open because you're going to see Nigeria up there also! Hmmm... maybe Trump isn't so 'poor Christians' in Nigeria as he wants us to think. 🙄🧐😡🤬 www.threads.com/@davidmoreho...

Contradicting her in real time (from A Rupar post) GOP Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks: "We don't want to have troops on the ground."

🚨🚨🚨 DO NOT MISS THIS ONE!!! "WE ARE READY TO STAGE A SECOND AND MUCH LARGER ATTACK"

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said the administration is abandoning Trump’s “America First” credo in its plans to run Venezuela. Another Trump critic, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, also expressed concern. Follow live coverage.

As usual Mike Lukovich is on top of it!

Trump's ownership of CBS 'News' ... (Sorry, TonyD, you didn't get to break this 🤷)

⏩Neither of Senator Warner's examples would garner anything more than an 'oh well' from Trump in public. Behind the scenes he'd likely call to congratulate them both. Because right now what each of the 3 need is the tacit support of the other to take control of The Americas, Russia/Europe, and Asia.

There is a wide range of reaction across the world, from Russia to Iran, Britain to Brazil after US military action in Venezuela. #politics

You should be mad. As veterans and those who fought the last Forever Wars, we are furious. Join us at NoForeverWars.org and VoteVets.org to fight against more unconstitutional strikes and expeditionary wars. 6/6

Why Strikes in Venezuela are unconstitutional and why that MATTERS 🧵 When the military is used for strikes, the American people get a say first through their representation in Congress. 1/

This stolen oil claim being any sort of impetus for taking over things in Venezuela loops back around to one of Trump's earliest 2nd term claims that he's going to take Panama bc they owe us the canal.

When I teach my seminar on coups we keep a running tab on how many regime changes were motivated at least in part by desire for oil or other valuable commodities...

🤬 YUP!
