If Joe Biden, Barack Obama, or Bill Clinton had openly threatened to seize the territory of our NATO allies, Jake Tapper & every other CNN anchor would do nothing but point out how wildly illegal this is, how massively it endangers US national security, & how it is grounds for immediate impeachment.

CNN is consciously helping Stephen Miller lie to its audience. This is a fundamental betrayal of the primary duty of a news outlet: to provide verified information to the public about matters vital to their well-being. The media's duty is not to give liars a bigger megaphone.

He's a sick mfer.

Folks, I don't know what to tell you, but people's brains are fucking broken and there's nothing you can do to out-message this kind of deranged mindset.

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.

I’m sorry. I can’t let this Miller bullshit pass. After WWII “the West,” sometimes relatively quickly, sometimes not until the ‘70s, realized that the writing was on the wall: that they could spend vast sums in blood and treasure trying to defeat anti-colonial movements, and still lose.

Invading Venezuela was never about drugs….

🧵

Pretty fucking wild to see people in January 2026 whining about “vote scolding” to defend people who couldn’t get off their ass to vote against Trump. Whatever they thought of Harris, they can never honestly answer whether the world would be better if she’d won (lol of fucking course it would).

So we now appear to be up to at least 80 Venezuelans killed. For an operation that anonymous admin officials said yesterday was"virtually flawless." www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

New euphemism for "bottomless corruption and naked abuses of power" just dropped

He's insane.

I would greet them as liberators.

I joined two great legal experts, @mikeschmitt.bsky.social @tessbridgeman.bsky.social, on this analysis In this thread, I highlight 3 items you may not see covered in same way, if at all, elsewhere. Panama 'precedent,' safeguards for Heads of State, Venezuelan nationals new legal protections in US

If you think "holding elected officials accountable" means attacking Democrats for shit REPUBLICANS AND TRUMP DID, or attacking Democrats for not doing things they legally don't have the power to do, you are as ridiculous and moronic as all the MAGA voters out there.

NEW: Plans for secret U.S. raid to capture Maduro leaked to the Washington Post and New York Times before it happened, but both decided not to publish to protect U.S. troops - Semafor

This is typical garbage criticism of Harris, based on the absence of any understanding American politics. Democrats are simply not allowed to be vocally anti-war, it's a guaranteed way to lose elections going back to McGovern.

It’s sobering to look back on the run-up to the Iraq war—a period of unceasing chattering-class debate, elaborate official lies, media complicity, unavailing global protest, in the end a giant stitch-up—and have it seem like some sort of paradise of public deliberation compared to these gangsters.

Oh, yeah...Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hasn't called for impeachment as of yet either. This is the only formal comment on Venezuela of hers I've found either here or on Twitter today.

You know who really really loves it when you find a way to blame Democrats for what Republicans do and what Trump does? Trump and Republicans. They don't even have to lift a finger and they're just laughing at us collectively because it's so easy for them. It's uncanny. You guys do it every time.

It's Frisky Dictator Day.

This is too trying a time to deal with the f*cking as*holes whose first reaction is to bash democrats and their leadership. And these f*ckers have been around long enough to have seen people show them reality, but they choose to ignore it and go along with the same, tired narrative. 🤬

We are sure it’s just a coincidence, but today is the statuatory date for the DOJ to explain its redactions in the Epstein file productions. We have not forgotten, and we won’t let up - regardless of the President’s new unconstitutional actions.

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.

This whole presentation is Imperial in the Roman style. Taking over countries, running them at the diktat of generals, letting the people have a degree of independence. Only it feels more like the last days of Rome.

1/2 Remember that the great disruptions of past 11 1/2 months are from the WHIM OF ONE MAN: —Upheaval of world economy via tariffs —Effective dissolution of longest-standing Western alliances (NATO, North Amer partners, cultural-scientific-educ-aid institutions, US "soft power" overall.) —Now this.

Trump voters have turned the most powerful country in the world - the longtime leader of the democratic West - into a violent rogue state. In doing so, they have smashed any semblance of international law and order. This ‘might is right’ world MAGA have inflicted upon us endangers all of humanity.

WHILE EVERYONE IS NOW FOCUSING ON THE VENEZUELA DIVERSION, PLEASE DO NOT FORGET THAT JANUARY 6TH, THE ANNIVERSARY OF THIS PRESIDENTS ORGANIZED ATTACK ON WASHINGTON DC, IS ONLY THREE DAYS AWAY!!!

4. Still, if you had told the Constitutional Convention that the president’s title as commander-in-chief would eventually supersede Congress’ enumerated power to declare war, the delegates would’ve been rushing for the exits. What’s happening now is a gruesome inversion of the constitutional design.

To the media that propped up this man & thought this would be funny & cool to have this monster back in The White House this is all on you. You own this.

👇

wild to see every news outlet use the term "capture" to describe what happened. we're not at war with venezuela! this is *objectively* an illegal kidnapping of a sovereign country's leader

That Trump pardoned another Latin American leader a few weeks ago on the very charges Maduro is being indicted now shows that this is not 4 dimensional chess.

How many fucking times does this have to be repeated? 1. Impeachment is done by the House, not the Senate. 2. The House is controlled by Republicans, not Democrats. 3. Democrats already impeached him, twice. Republicans refused to convict him, both times. 4. Republicans also control the Senate.

Trump promised no “new stupid wars,” yet he’s starting one with Venezuela without congressional approval. People can’t afford groceries and millions are losing healthcare, but this is where his focus is. This is unconstitutional and not what the American people asked for.

77M voted for this. 90M opted out and don't care. GOP leads the Executive branch GOP leads the Legislation GOP leads the Judicial So, we are here because of the voters.

Kamala Harris would not have illegally bombed a foreign country and kidnapped their leader. All folks had to do was use common sense in the voting booth but apparently that was a bridge too far🤷🏾‍♀️ If you did anything other than vote for Harris you helped get us to today.

Trump seems blissfully unaware that a considerable share of strokes are hemorrhagic strokes that can be caused by blood thinners. It would be a shame if his stupidity came back to harm him.

Hello, I'm a 99% blocked coronary artery.

Classic. Mostly we call this lack of empathy, but IMHO it's lack of imagination that comes first. If you can't imagine what someone else goes through, you can't empathize.

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

Jack Smith explains proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the 2020 election.

Still reading the Jack Smith deposition and watching the video. Republicans are absolute dumbshits with pointless questions. The GOP had absolutely nothing damning to ask Smith, and you don't have to be a legal scholar to know why. Their pedo king is guilty, and they knew Smith would trap them.

NEW: Jack Smith's team interviewed Giuliani, and when asked whether Rudy believed his own lies about election fraud, Jack Smith said he did not, and that neither did Donald Trump.

Holy shit. www.popularmechanics.com/science/heal... This would be life changing for so many people.

Jim Jordan actually posted the video! On the afternoon of New Years Eve, but posted nonetheless: youtu.be/lR-bhPzQYUE?...

Important when reading the Jack Smith transcript to remember what powerful videos these would have been, had Jim Jordan followed precedent and done this publicly instead of hiding the ball and failing to commit to a public hearing. judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...
