Rubio says Venezuela attack was not a military action

JD Vance was accused this weekend of being a hypocrite, as political observers threw the vice president's prior remarks back in his face in the wake of the Trump admin's military strike in Venezuela.

Trump wants to be Ronald Reagan, but instead with his Venezuela folly, he is Dick Cheney.

Come on guys. Give Trump a break. Invading countries and gaslighting the public is exhausting work.

“Somehow, Dick Cheney returned.”

We must also marvel at the titanic idiocy of our new "Donroe Doctrine" for it turns America from a global power into a regional one by choice. I still can't really believe they are going through with this for it is so batshit f-ing crazy, and does so much lasting harm to our interests.

Iowa Dems remain absolutely ablaze. They started 2025 with a shocking double-digit overperformance in a State Senate seat (that unexpectedly flipped) and they ended 2025 with a shocking double-digit overperformance in a State Senate seat, with several others wins (and one other flip) in between.

It appears that the automatic contribution keeps increasing as we approach the New Year:

Trump’s latest fundraising email asks supporters to check a box to “SUPPORT MAGA in this DO-OR-DIE battle.” The fine print: checking it auto-adds an extra $3,300 donation on 12/31.

"The Creepy Parallels" How did Combs/Epstein/Trump get away with his abuses for so long? Why did the rules not seem to apply to him? Why, even after he was first convicted, did he not seem to lose his standing among the powerful? I’ll do whatever I want. Who’s going to stop me? Thread 6/6🧵

”Just finished watching the Sean Combs documentary, and the similarities between him and our current POTUS are undeniable.” • @adelpreore.bsky.social Representatives for Mr Combs have repeatedly said he "never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone - man or woman, adult or minor" #90Lawsuits 4/6🧵

The document includes allegations that he was involved in the murder of rapper Tupac in 1996, & includes tapes of a police interview in which former gang member "Keffe D" Davis claims that Combs offered him $1m for a hit on Shakur. Kirk Burrowes: Combs had a lot to do with the death of Tupac. 3/6🧵

Federal prosecutors in New York accused Combs of using his money, power, and the threat of violence to coerce women into unwanted sexual encounters. Combs is also facing dozens of pending civil lawsuits, which accuse him of sexual assault, rape and sexual exploitation. 2/6🧵

"The Reckoning" = Epstein Files The documentary opens with footage of Combs from September 2024, talking on ☎️ with attorney Agnifilo: “We have to find somebody that will work with us, that has dealt in the dirtiest of dirty business of media & propaganda,” says Combs. “We’re losing.” Thread 1/6🧵

Worth noting that Nigeria makes a point in its statement to debunk Trump’s comments that this violence is specifically directed at Christians, acknowledging that it impacts everyone.

The federal workers’ charity drive, the largest of its kind in the country, is facing a steep decline in donations and other challenges just months after the Trump administration weighed canceling it altogether.
