How are voters meant to understand how serious things are if in lieu of shouting fire AND going into building with hoses, you're simply posting fire safety suggestions on social media? Not introducing articles of impeachment is a message that Trump hasn't committed impeachable offenses.

Giving an exclusive interview to sworn Mamdani enemy NYPost is an aggressive start

They like Trump and want to help him. The "this was illegal and awful" editorial they ran this morning means nothing if they coat the front page in stories normalizing this after

A group of Peruvian shamans gathered on a beach in southern Lima to perform their annual New Year ritual, delivering predictions for 2026 that included the fall of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and a serious illness for US President Donald Trump

So it was less a daring raid per se than the USA being invited to do the dirty work in an internal coup?

the reason they don’t bother to manufacture the consent beforehand is that everyone just sort of does it for them post-facto now

Ya but odds are Trump is just confusing real life with OCEANS 11

United has posted a helpful graphic to visualize the #TrumpFlightCancelations. The airline is only showing 5 cancellation in/out of the Caribbean for tomorrow but that’s very much subject to change.

Jason Blevins does top-notch reporting on the ski industry for @coloradosun.com, and this is no exception. I always stand with Patrol, and I love that so many patrols have unionized. They do dangerous and life-saving work for a pittance while their cost of living is astronomical.

Nightmarish. CBS News is now running straight state propaganda. They handed Hegseth all three segments and are now tweeting flattering sound bites.

Nightcrawler (2014) is kind of the ur-text about modern LinkedIn Guys

Trump take salad youtu.be/V7AqzSQ8Acs?...

I think Maduro heard they were coming for him and placed the bets himself www.axios.com/2026/01/03/m...

The Plot to Enslave the world

Compare this to Biden leaving Afghanistan & think about what the incentives are for every American politician

16 hours in, my guess this was all intended basically as a coup to put VP Delcy Rodriguez in power (likely without her knowledge but 🤷). At least for democracy & human rights, that might be even worse than the "opening shots in a war" scenario. All speculation, but let me explain:

I reached out to the author of this viral Reddit post thinking there might be a story in it. He sent me an employee badge that Gemini flagged as being AI-generated and supporting documents that I suspect were also generated by AI. Be careful out there folks! www.reddit.com/r/confession...

Despicable.

I know this is yesterday’s news and feels relatively unimportant now but just want to note that this is ongoing and X and xAI continue to do absolutely nothing about it despite being able to end it by pressing a single button.

Hell ya

Guys in case you thought foreign policy was somehow less stupid before Trump this was the book and theory that all the country's intellectuals were really into in the mid 00's

You need to have something like this which is three words or less. Medicare For All, Black Lives Matter, Abolish Ice. The Russians even did it with Peace Land Bread.

I’m at Times Square, where an emergency “No War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20°F weather. “No more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!” “No boots on the ground no bombs in the air, U.S. out of everywhere!”

My full statement on Trump’s unconstitutional military operations in Venezuela:

We’re waiting for the mayor at the McGuinness press conference. Meanwhile, DOT commissioner Mike Flynn has been handed, and put on, a make McGuinness safe — support which we never saw from the Adams administration.

Seeing both "Venezuelan oil is very cheap to extract" and "Venezuelan oil is uneconomically costly to extract" takes, have any of you seen actual experts on this shit weigh in on this?

Mark Kelly puts out a statement saying "The President of the United States just overthrew a foreign ruler and explained to the American people that this is about taking control of the oil reserves of a foreign nation." This is probably the strongest statement alongside Gallego's I've read.

The same editorial board described Seattle’s mayor raising taxes to pay for childcare as a totalitarian power grab

hunger games aesthetic

yes. has been the pattern since his first term but especially starting in the 2024 campaign. as the real trump falters, they hurriedly cut away and replace him in their reporting and discussions with a fictional trump who says and does more reasonable things than the actual man does

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad. The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

just because i'm seeing the opposite take floating around, part of the libertarian sales pitch for "prediction markets" is that, unlike bookies or securities markets, insiders will trade on non-public information, leading to faster discovery of the "real" odds of an event occuring.

uh,

Trump and his cronies can try to dress this up, but it is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro and grab Venezuela's oil for his billionaire buddies. Full statement below:

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.

It's not very popular but crucially most of that 11% are cable news producers and newspaper editors

They like Trump and want to help him. Playbook is "the comeback kid"

They were told that by elites

⚠️ The Vice President of Venezuela has spoken by phone to a Venezuelan television news channel. She confirmed that Venezuelan President Maduro’s whereabouts are unknown, demanded proof of life for Maduro from Trump, and called the people of Venezuela to the streets.

Jesus christ

The media wants the war and likes Trump and so will not report on this war as if it is unpopular, despite overwhelming polling showing that it is. Covering things as if they are unpopular is for things they want to stop and they want the war and want it to succeed.

They’re the top holder of “yes” Maduro out by Jan 31. There’s also Feb 28th, Mar 31st etc. But they went with shortest dated contract.

Who's down to go protest at the white house tomorrow

Well,

I was talking about MTV's failed 2017 TRL reboot earlier today and they got DJ Khaled for their first episode too. Didn't work in 2017!

Good read. Had the same feeling reading about this guy that I did watching MARTY SUPREME the other day - an untrustworthy rogue getting himself into more and more trouble through his own actions, to comical degrees, until it finally catches up with him

Trump being in the red on immigration is again, a five alarm fire for Republicans, especially those on the border. It’s a sign that people no longer associate immigration with crime or border security. This is THE issue for Trump alongside tariffs and people hate it.
