President Trump said on Saturday that Delcy Rodríguez was sworn in as Venezuela’s interim president and would act as a partner in letting the U.S. run the country. Less than two hours later, Rodríguez made clear she viewed the U.S. as an illegal invader that must be rejected.

Chaotic buffoons.

Meanwhile Stephen Miller’s wife is posting stuff like this

Chilly night in Chicago, but protesters have shown up to confront Trump’s illegal war.

Stephen Miller’s gross wife —

Happy birthday to the great Thelma!

Happening now: several hundred people are pouring into Chicago's downtown Federal Plaza. It's 25 degrees outside. Organizers are leading the crowd in a chant of, "no boots on the ground, no bombs in the air!" Two protesters hold a large banner reading, "no war for Venezuela oil."

Donald Trump is now reposting videos on Truth Social suggesting that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had Melissa Hortman assassinated. This is objectively evil, and calling it out should not be political.

NYT gonna NYT: "Both Mr. Mamdani and Mr. Maduro identify as socialists, though they have no relationship.” — would be funny if they did this every time you write about two capitalists. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/03/w...

Lucy definitely won't move the ball this time, Charlie Brown.

It’d be hilarious if a grand jury refused to indict Maduro.

2026 is making an early start to a “Hold my beer, 2025.” play, and I don’t like it.

Hakeem Jeffries takes a bold stand for Trump asking first next time so Dems can exercise their rubber stamp. This is the kind of statement official Russian “opposition” parties run by Putin make.

Shit just got stupider and more dangerous this morning.

I’m sure the United Nations will straighten this out, right?

Wow. When I go to bed people are like don’t jump to conclusions there’s no evidence that the explosions have anything to do with the US and when I wake up, Trump tells us we’re running the country.

marco rubio says cuba is run by "incompetent, senile men" WHILE STANDING IN FRONT OF AN INCOMPETENT, SENILE MAN

War is peace

So many people over decades have been called conspiracy theorists for suggesting that U.S. intervention is driven by capitalist interests, and the interests of the oil industry in particular. Now the president just says it outright in press conferences and interviews.

for fuck’s sake can someone give these stunted chodes some little green army men and a few toy trucks that go vroom-vroom and let them work out their issues that way instead of whatever this is

JFC.

Q: Who will run Venezuela? TRUMP: Well it's largely going to be for a period of time the people standing right behind me. We're gonna be running it.

Trump: "I think Cuba is gonna be something we'll end up talking about, because Cuba is a failing nation. It's very similar"

Can’t wait for the thorough 60 Minutes investigation into our invasion and occupation of Venezuela to be shut down and aired to us from Mexico

The “it’s too inconvenient to follow the Constitution” clause to the Constitution.

Specifically, a protest song about how the sons of the rich were able to avoid fighting, like fighting-age Donald Trump who got four deferments for being in college and another for bone spurs.

The bombing of Venezuela and the kidnapping of Maduro are gross violations of international law and our own Constitution. Trump & his admin have lied, consolidated power, & committed war crimes to seize Venezuelan oil & pursue regime change for their imperialistic agenda in the Western Hemisphere.

They are putting Americans’ safety in danger while destabilizing the region to enrich themselves. Congress must act, and Trump must be impeached.

AP: Across the Venezuelan capital, there were no signs that the U.S. had taken over control of Venezuela’s government or military forces. The Miraflores Palace and military bases remained guarded by Venezuela’s armed forces

The criminal Trump kidnapped Maduro and his wife in a lawless invasion and proudly threatened other leaders in the region that they could face the same. We are living in a sick rogue state, people.

Q: Will US troops be on the ground? TRUMP: We're not afraid of boots on the ground if we have to have it

having trouble sleeping? ask your doctor if a coup is right for you

If you remember how the US invasion of Iraq in 2003 set off decades off mass death and destruction throughout the region, get ready. trump/rubio have NO plan for what comes next. But in 2019, US Ran a War Game on Ousting Maduro. Venezuela Fell Into Chaos. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/u...

My dude, you can't even run *this* country, maybe take a beat before trying to run another one.

America: We never learn.

Trump is slurring and stumbling through his crazed speech announcing the takeover of Venezuela with a completely make-believe story of national security threats ended… and now he’s segued to claiming that Washington DC is for the first time in memory a place where restaurants are “again open”

Welp. I'm gonna go look at nature for a while. Will try to ignore news alerts and discourse, etc. See ya.

NYT already has an editorial. ("Donald Trump’s Attack on Venezuela Is Illegal and Unwise")

What the fuck

The Convicted Felon who has taken at least three cognitive exams & falls asleep during official meetings just bombed Venezuela and kidnapped its leader.

Honestly it would be very funny if FIFA revoked the prize.

That is a lot of news to wake up to.

waking up yo a massively more destabilized world

So the FBI executed the warrant and this is being framed as a law enforcement action and not a war.

I'm impressed at how many people apparently have news alerts on a setting that will wake them up in the middle of the night.

So it’s a secret war? That’s been considered an impeachable offense in the past.
