“The seizure of Venezuela looks less like a strategic necessity and more like a massive repayment of the millions of dollars the oil industry contributed to Trump’s campaign.

Congress must pass a war powers resolution to restrict Trump’s illegal actions in Venezuela. We cannot allow this reckless President and billionaire oil tycoons to unilaterally authorize military force, launching us into another foreign conflict just to make themselves richer.

JUST IN: Sen. Mark Kelly releases statement after SUING Pete Hegseth and the Dept. of Defense

BREAKING: Sen. Mark Kelly is suing Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth

Senator Mark Kelly has filed a lawsuit against Pete Hegseth, asking a federal court to stop the Trump administration from downgrading his retirement rank and reducing his military pension.

We’ve now sent over 10,000 letters to Congress demanding they impeach Kristi Noem! Have you sent one yet today?

The public for 100 years: The Government thinks we're stupid... The Government:

ICE is using breaching charges to blow doors open on people's homes. ICE is not a military branch and as civilians, they should be limited to the same arms as members of the public. It's illegal for civilians to own, control or use explosive devices.

“Donald Trump is a man who represents all the things we teach our children not to be. He’s a liar. He’s a thief. He’s a molester. He has no remorse, no shame, no empathy. He has no loyalty to the law, to the Constitution. This man is the lowest character of all.”

🇺🇸🇺🇦Trump to NYT: Zelenskyy has only got one thing: Donald Trump.

Donald Trump - Motivation - Iran - Oil

Quiet, decent, unassuming, fearless, tough, follow the law, put the country’s interests first…Jerome Powell is the antithesis of Donald Trump. Jerome Powell is the hero we need.

George Conway: “Donald Trump is a man who represents all the things we teach our children not to be. He’s a liar. He’s a thief. He’s a molester. He has no remorse, no shame, no empathy. He has no loyalty to the law, to the Constitution. This man is the lowest character of all.”

This is the kind of fact you would never believe if you only listened to the far-right propagandists the algorithm promotes on X. London is safe, and Europe as a whole is much safer than the US and Russia, both of which keep lecturing us

I want this next generation of software development tools to run on my own computer. Vim and Emacs helped democratize software development and made it accessible. We shouldn't allow this AI wave to take us backwards. I really hope the open source community can keep pace.

Pay them.

It just never ends. FFS! The Trump regime has opened a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.

BREAKING Fed Chair Jerome Powell says he’s under federal investigation. The Fed chair says subpoenas and the threat of criminal charges are retaliation for refusing to set interest rates according to the president’s wishes. Story: bit.ly/4aOOWAV

Federal Reserve in exile

I've stopped calling Trump a "would-be dictator." I just say "dictator" now. The news about Trump weaponizing the Justice Department against Fed chairman Jerome Powell is just the latest piece of evidence that Trump feels unconstrained by laws or rules. He's a dictator until we prove otherwise.

Mark Ruffalo donned an anti-ICE pin at the #GoldenGlobes in tribute to Renee Good, who was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer this week in Minneapolis. The black-and-white pin read “BE GOOD." Follow live updates from the show: apnews.com/live/golden-...

President Trump signaled he’s leaning toward excluding Exxon from his push for US oil majors to spend at least $100 billion to rebuild Venezuela’s petroleum industry

Death toll in violence surrounding nationwide protests challenging Iran's theocracy reaches at least 116, activists say.

Don't forget we are dealing with insidious people. It is not beneath Trump & his goons to send agitators into a peaceful protest so they can't stir it up for the cameras. If you are near someone who is throwing things, threatening, or otherwise antagonistic, just move away. Stay calm, stay peaceful!

Ronn not playing with them

“Americans love Canada but Canadians no longer love the United States. When you pick on Canada, you are picking on a country that the American people adore.” Canada is far more popular in the United States than Trump

I've been writing about this at @hopiumchronicles.bsky.social. It's now clear Trump doesn't believe the Constitution, domestic law, the UN Charter, international law, or Senate ratified treaties apply to him; and that he has crowned himself Emperor of the Americas, Lord of the Western Hemisphere.

The significant changes will lead the US to withdraw from key forums focused on climate change, peace and democracy.

Gallego: "The reason why you have Article 1 power is because you don't want to let idiots like President Donald Trump make foreign policy decisions without their being a check and balance against that"

Things are going well between Dan and his old friends.

Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured. Trump then pardoned the attackers. He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.

Good Q fora reporter to put to Miller: what is your take on the march into the Sudetenland?

Officers like @libradunn1.bsky.social saved my life and my colleagues’ lives on January 6th. I’m forever grateful to the law enforcement officials who courageously defended our Capitol and our democracy from the armed insurrectionists.

NEW: beginning january 1, chicago will ban unhoused people on the sex offense registry from seeking shelter on public transit. it’s the latest in a concerted effort by mayor johnson’s admin to criminalize homelessness on cta trains + buses and in public parks during the coldest months of the year.

After an attack on Venezuela, Trump’s threats to annex Greenland have European leaders on edge.

NPR's Jan. 6 archive brings together reporting, video, documents and testimony to show what really happened during the Capitol riot. Explore the timeline, cases and evidence behind the attack.

Its whereabouts aren't publicly known, though it's believed to be in storage. n.pr/3YWyTJY

Department of War? Venezuela? Greenland? Canada? Panama? WE ARE THE AGGRESSOR NOW! Stop Trump and his Administration at all cost with whatever means!

TRUMP: “We need Greenland” The guardrails are gone

Just a reminder: Venezuela's oil has NEVER belonged to the United States.

“There was zero plan, except causing pain,” said one U.N. official about the Trump administration’s decision to stop funding the group with no notice or communication. “And that is not forgivable.”

Zohran Mamdani, the new mayor of New York City, called President Trump on Saturday to personally object to strikes the U.S. had conducted in Venezuela and to the capture of its leader, Nicolás Maduro. Mamdani accused Trump of violating international law.
