3 months ago billionaire Paul Singer bought Citgo, the former US arm of Venezuela’s state-run oil company Citgo owns 3 Gulf Coast refineries built to process Venezuelan crude that have suffered from the US embargo If Trump lifts that embargo, Singer will receive a huge windfall Corruption. Again.

Elon Musk's Grok is being used to generate sexualized photos of women and children Many major companies continue to advertise on the platform Here are some: * Amazon *Paramount+ *Carnival Cruise lines *Chipotle *Axios *Apple *Fox Sports *Turbo Tax *Burger King *Wendy's *Wayfair

Trump has repeatedly threatened Tehran with military action if his administration found the Islamic Republic was using deadly force against ant-igovernment protesters Imagine what he will do when he finds out that his own government officials are using deadly force against American citizens.

There has been a sharp decline in construction hiring this year. Contractors who specialize in residential construction (mostly small businesses) have actually lost jobs

A heckler called Trump a "pedophile protector" at a Ford plant Trump flipped him off Always classy

Trump on Truth Social: "Patriots, KEEP PROTESTING - TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price." Dramatic change of heart? No. The first word of the post (that I omitted) was "Iranian" Irony is apparently not dead yet.

Slowest job growth outside recessions according to economist Jed Kolko So. Much. Winning.

Top DOJ officials overruled their own anti-trust dept to approve the merger of Compass (biggest real estate brokerage in US) with the company that owns Century 21, Coldwell Banker, Sotheby’s Without an investigation This will monopolize home buying and RAISE THE PRICE OF HOMES So much corruption!

This is behind Trump's latest push to acquire Greenland He wants to undermine NATO

Trump is "inclined" to exclude Exxon from being able to invest in Venezuela because he didn't like their CEO's response at the White House meeting CEO Woods called Venezuela "uninvestable", which is what all the oil execs were thinking So much for "Drill, baby, drill"

Not a joke or a fake From Trump's Truth Social account "Acting President" He. Must. Be. Stopped.

Kamala Harris called Trump "someone who is unstable, obsessed with revenge, consumed with grievance, and out for unchecked power.” She was so right. How could we not listen to her?

Trump is not a friend of miners, people who work in transportation, construction workers, or manufacturing The US is losing jobs in blue collar industries for the first time since the Great Recession and the pandemic Less than 8% of Americans now work in manufacturing

I wonder what happened in 2025 that made blue collar employment start to decrease, after increasing since 2021🤔

In Feb. 2025 ICE's approval rating was +17% It is now -13%, even before the killing of Renee Good ICE is more unpopular than ever All the thugs hired during Trump's tenure should be fired and the agency disbanded ABOLISH ICE!!!

Job creation has slowed significantly under Trump, especially evident after "Liberation Day" 192,000 jobs per month were created under Joe Biden, compared to just 55,000 under Trump There were several months where America actually lost jobs So much for "America First"

The unemployment rate has inched up under Trump, increasing from 4% in January to 4.6% in December, a 15% increase Unemployment among Black and young Americans has increased disproportionately, a common sign of a weakening jobs environment

Trump fiddles with his tariff rate sometimes almost daily Businesses cannot make long range plans, so they are in a stagflation producing wait-and-see mode Small businesses especially have suffered

Just when you think he could not go any lower... He would be "honored" to stea...I mean accept Machado's Nobel Peace Prize www.newsweek.com/trump-great-...

Nobel laureate Paul Krugman argues that American foreign policy does not make sense if you look for benefits to the US. There are none You must look for benefits to Trump and his sycophants Trump insults and threatens countries like Denmark and Canada because they refuse to pay him tribute

Because ICE obviously lied about the shooting in Minneapolis, who knows if they are telling the truth in Portland? They are not trustworthy The feds have become the bad guys, the liars, the thugs

Venezuelan opposition leader Machado (with 72% approval in her own country) is surprised that Trump does not want democracy for Venezuela He is not interested in democracy in the US, so why would he want it in Venezuela? He wants a vassal state to pay him tribute, not a functioning democracy

Do I have this right? Trump says he will steal and sell Venezuela's oil He will be PERSONALLY in charge of spending the profits He will set up an "off-shore" account for the money Seems like people went to jail for a very similar scheme by the Reagan administration in the 1980s (Iran Contra)

We are more and more isolated from the world community www.bbc.com/news/article...

The Big Ugly Bill passed by the GOP congress adds more to the federal deficit than any other bill ever passed So much for the myth of Republicans being fiscal conservatives

MTG says the 2 parties are the same Not. Even. Close. Under Biden, there were no US troops in foreign wars, murders plummeted, drug overdoses dropped Stocks had their best years in the century, the economy was growing, real wages were rising The economy added more than 700K manufacturing jobs

"Lawmakers said that Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in closed briefings about Venezuela on Wednesday, said that the money generated by the sale of Venezuelan oil would NOT be deposited in the U.S. Treasury." - NYT

The breakeven price for fracked oil is $62/barrel. Right now, oil prices are below even that. The heavy oil found in Venezuela has an $80 breakeven point No oil company will invest in extracting oil that costs $80/barrel to produce. Trump's oil dreams are a fantasy

The One Ugly Bill passed by the GOP is the most costly bill ever It heavily favors rich taxpayers. 10 million Americans will be forced off Medicaid Much of the progress made under the ACA will be undone It rolls back green energy provisions, slowing the projected fall in greenhouse gases

The US has seized a Russian tanker near Venezuela. A statement by Russian authority: “For several days now, Marinera has been followed by a US Coast Guard ship, despite the fact that our vessel is located approximately 4,000 kilometers (2,485 miles) from the US” What could go wrong?

If Maduro's capture was really an arrest of just 2 people for narco-terrorism, as the GOP claims, how does that justify the killing of 80 people during the attack?

Trump is freezing $10 Billion in federal funds in Minnesota, New York, California, Illinois and Colorado - all states that did not vote for him in 2024 The funds mostly benefit needy children in the affected states This spending has already been approved by congress

Mike Johnson says he expects elections to be called in Venezuela "in short order" Trump says no. Venezuela's constitution requires elections to be held within 30 days, but Trump pays no attention to the constitution: “We have to fix the country first. You can’t have an election” Chaos.

This administration is the most incompetent ever. According to The Hill, congressional leaders from both parties emerged from a meeting with Trump officials "with little clarity on the future of Venezuela, days after the president declared the U.S. would run the country"

Don't allow MAGA to control the narrative: *January 6 was a violent attempt at insurrection *Trump has not stopped ANY wars *Trump has ordered the bombing of 7 countries in 2025 *Tariffs are taxes on the American people *Blowing up small boats in the Caribbean and Pacific is illegal

While Americans have seen food prices increase due to Trump's tariffs, drug prices spike at an alarming rate, and millions can no longer afford health insurance, we now learn that US taxpayers may be on the hook to reimburse oil companies in Venezuela How does that make you feel?

What do these countries have in common? *Venezuela *Nigeria *Iraq *Iran *Syria *Yemen *Somalia They are all countries that the "peace president" has bombed in 2025

Thank you, Jamie Raskin and Dem members of the House Judiciary Committee Trump makes us all less safe static.notus.org/cb/0c/150347...

Trump's tariffs have been a disaster for Americans, driving up inflation They are effectively the largest tax increase ever on US taxpayers We now have the highest tariff rate since the Great Depression

Connect the dots... Paul Singer is a billionaire who has donated millions to Trump-aligned PACs In NOVEMBER 2025, Singer bought Citgo, the US subsidary of Venezuela's state oil company at a bargain price due to the US embargo He now stands to benefit from the US takeover So. Much. Corruption.

There are 3 aspects of the "Don-roe Doctrine" unique to this president: * His team is woefully inexperienced in foreign affairs * Expertise is shunned *Decisions are made based on what will benefit Trump personally

By an overwhelming majority, Americans do NOT support Trump's actions in Venezuela

If Trump says the US will run Venezuela and Rubio says we won't If Trump says the acting Venezuelan president is "willing to do what is necessary to make Venezuela great again", but then warns that she "will pay a very big price" It seems like no one is in charge Seems that way to our enemies too

Who will enforce these regime changes? The US Army?

While Marco Rubio tried to present a "Totally normal, nothing to see here, just a law enforcement operation" facade at Saturday's press conference, Trump blew that farce out of the water Trump talked about stealing Venezuela's oil and regime change Has anyone thought about what happens next?

This is Stephan Miller's wife posting this The man who runs ICE operations and tells Trump what to do on foreign policy We have to take this seriously We are a rogue nation now, just like Russia

The Chicago Tribune found that “only about 1.5% of those detained for immigration-related reasons had been convicted of a violent felony” They are not rounding up the worst of the worst Trump's minions went into neighborhoods and terrorized anyone who looked Latino Terror at home and abroad

Do you think it's any coincidence that Maria Corina Machado won the 2025 Nobel Peach prize that Trump coveted?
