Welcome to capex-by-blackmail. “.. They’re saying, ‘you gotta go in if you want to play and get reimbursed,’” said one industry official .. “But the infrastructure .. is so dilapidated that no one .. can adequately assess what is needed to make it operable.” #OOTT www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

there is no constituency that needs you to fall all over yourself to call Maduro illegitimate before you dare criticize Trump. Voters have been down this road before. No one thought Saddam Hussein was a nice guy. Criticism of Maduro at this stage correctly reads as a defense of Trump to most people.

weird how much power mitch mcconnell had when he had no power

They’re all posting their statements on the child porn platform? That’s a wild choice.

Any D who doesn't push for impeachment should get primaried. This is it. No excuses. No more.

“I just don’t understand why I can’t sleep” she said while staring at the little glowing box of doom in her hand

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

This is fucking insane. Trump took over another country for oil when he can’t even run the US.

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

trump says they didn't give congress a heads up because they wouldn't leaked it. oh ok.

So it's appropriate to arrest a world leader if you consider them criminal? You can just go get them? Just asking questions here.

A functioning Congress will have articles of impeachment drafted by the end of the day. Our Congress will just go to social media to basically say “We don’t like this, but what are you gonna do?”

The aging pedophile who wants to be a king has kidnapped the leader of a sovereign nation without congressional approval. If the United States had an opposition party, they would treat this as an illegitimate act and start impeachment proceedings immediately.

To @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social Publicly and repeatedly demand impeachment or resign. If you do neither, go ahead and pack your office because you’re losing your next election. IMPEACH NOW.

Trump just posted this photo of the sharpest minds in our intelligence community hard at work during the Venezuelan operation.

there's just something morbidly funny about how he just throws everyone who sucks up to him under the bus.

Cancer research costs too much but we have the money to run Venezuela

FIFA Peace Prize recipient, everyone.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Yes, Twitter and Musk themselves aren’t even attempting to apologize for “Grok creating CSAM” - but this too is an example of allowing a machine to take blame! Who CREATED the machine that’s apologizing for its actions in a fashion that shifts blame to itself and not to its actual human creators?

sauron: the ring says it’s sorry

just like you guys, i put my pants on one leg at a time, leaning against a wall, losing my balance, falling to my knees, yelling “FUCK”, rolling over onto my butt, turning back onto my knees, trying to get back up, grabbing the TV stand for support, attempting to catch the TV, yelling “FUCK” again,

I wrote about Grok's CSAM problem and how journalists keep fumbling the story www.readtpa.com/p/grok-cant-...

Yep, the level of vicious bigotry is extreme and we can cannot give an inch. There is a movement on the far right, supported by billionaires and powerful people in the White House, who want to ethnically cleanse Somalis from the U.S., and we must describe it as such and treat it as such.

Terry Crews as Godzilla (a brief) 🧵:

This is why they want us talking about day care centers and $500 boots.

Strange takes on Mayor Zamdani swearing his oath on the Qu’ran. It has nothing to do with church & state. The point of the oath is for the person swearing in to do so upon some text that is sacred TO THEM. Some Presidents swore in w/o any book. John Quincy Adams was sworn on a law book. His choice.

sometimes I’ll make a joke to my wife and she’ll roll her eyes and ask if I’m “gonna post that one on bluesky.” I mean, yes, but her tone is very hurtful

Not only is this outstanding, but it reminds me of an excellent bit by @pattonoswalt.bsky.social on the right’s strategically deploying certain language to advance discriminatory policies, and the need to look at the broader message being advanced: youtu.be/AkKo1_RP_0c?...

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

This is delusional. And he will never ever be asked about it when it fails to come about. Sacks & friends have been hyping Austin and Miami for years, and many of the gullible folks they convinced to move have quietly moved back.

Yes and-ing this to say, I absolutely love that his speeches do not sound like he studied Barack Obama recordings as if they were the zapruder or game film. He talks good but does it in his own way.

Why Are We Doing Dry January?

Happy new year

It didn’t help MAGA bros that they made everything political. Germ theory? You just want to control people. Weather? Oh you’re in the pocket of environmentalists. Read a book? Okay, nerd. When your entire personality is based on your politics, you get judged on those politics.

My friend just sent this and i had to share

I googled “distance to andromeda galaxy” and got a pop up that google wants to use my exact location. It’s okay, google, you can round.
