Same reason I don’t get mad at the affair partner more than the boyfriend/ husband for cheating . You made a vow. They didn’t . Now I might swing out of separate principles. But they sorted the person who pledged to me is the one that gotta answer

This. If incumbent Democrats won’t stand up and push back, challengers will—and should—fill that space.

Disgusted by him and everyone who keeps on looking the other way when he does things like this. He has found a new, crazy irresponsible and dangerous low point.

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

Waging an illegal and unconstitutional war and replacing a sovereign nation's government with a group of oilmen is actually quite sufficient to be concerned about without labeling it as a distraction.

Beyond critical at this point is to attack every premise that the administration presents as justification; and I wouldn’t be shy about constantly and viciously feeding the “Trump is doddering, mentally infirm, and about to die” narrative

the modern media environment also favors controversy, conflict, and cheap shots—this is a good environment for an opposition party to operate because the lawlessness and incompetence is off the charts

it goes without saying that articles of impeachment should be getting drafted right now; it also goes without saying that they won’t be—but an opposition party willing to articulate the administration’s criminality would be very useful in an election year

Oops goo...ps

Yeah, this is gonna keep happening

My latest with @ichotiner.bsky.social.

even in 3D

Same. It all stinks. All of it.

Thinking about this and the Polymarket stuff at the same time and frowning

The American people are desperate for one single institution that will take a fucking stand for something

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

We are a rogue state, run by a dictator, and the international community should treat us as such including all appropriate economic and diplomatic sanctions

I'll be honest. I don't care if proposing articles of impeachment is an empty gesture that will ultimately die in the Republican controlled congress, I want Dems to do it anyway. I want them to put political pressure on their opposing party even if it's doomed to fail.

i’m going to need a full refund on my taxes this year

If Trump shows you as an example of his support you should seriously reconsider your life choices.

Is that what’s happening? Or did it fail today to coopt Maduro’s subordinates in the Chavista regime, who are still entrenched in power and pissed off?

I always tell students if you ask a good question the article will write itself

Trump could drop a nuke on a major city and we'd be reading tut-tuts about how this sets a "dangerous precedent"

A CBS News staffer told me this after Tony Dokoupil kicked off his CBS Evening News tenure tonight with a lengthy Pete Hegseth interview: "If this is what Bari and Tony’s CBS Evening News is going to look like, then the we may as well just call ourselves Trump Administration State TV. Pathetic."

It is truly wild to see these guys taking SO LONG to realize no one wants this. Like it never occurred to them?

President Trump said that no US service members were killed in the operation. The New York Times later reported Venezuelan officials stated that 40 people were killed in the raids, including military personnel and civilians. x.com/WhiteHouse/s...

Footage showing a burning car and two alleged victims was geolocated nearby at 10.286729, -66.853923 by the Charallave airport. Whether these helicopters were involved in this incident is not clear t.me/venezuelast/...

The silence from many media-hyped 2028 contenders today is shocking. If you cannot oppose this regime change war for oil, you don't have the moral clarity or guts to lead our party or nation.

sometimes i think george bush is living in my walls, eating my insulation

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...

Controlling the judiciary and amassing wealth through corruption, you say?

This right here: “Not introducing articles of impeachment is a message that Trump hasn't committed impeachable offenses.”

If you’re not familiar with this vocabulary word, here’s a chance to look it up before it’s too late. Trump is about to outperform Bush.

Even Trump’s own 2019 war game scenario predicted chaos and calamity.

Trump keeps lying about how Venezuela “stole” from US oil companies. Here’s what really happened. Venezuelans know their own history & that’s why Trump’s oil gambit could become the focal point of a resistance. They won’t unite for Maduro, but they could come together to defend their patrimony.🧵

There are a lot of Venezuelans who hate Maduro and might have stayed quiet in response to regime change, but privatizing and stealing the patrimony of an entire nation can galvanize a very angry resistance. Trump can’t help but make himself the villain in this scenario.

Here’s a thread on the absolute beating the Russian oil sector has received from Ukrainian long-range drones. The difference in Venezuela is that insurgents can use extremely cheap short range (10-50 kilometers) fiber optic guided drones to inflict comparable damage.💥🔥

Trump has always has simplistic notions about taking other people’s oil whether it be Iraq, Syria, or Venezuela. He doesn’t understand that the enemy gets a vote.

Here’s a thread on how easy it is to attack oil infrastructure. I’ve spent a lot of time traveling in Colombia since 2001 & had the opportunity to document insurgent attacks on Colombian oil targets. They blew so many holes into the pipeline that locals call it a flute. See my photos in this thread:

Smedley Butler eat your heart out

Once again.

Elon Musk’s xAI is not only letting users create ai generated noncensual intimate imagery and sexulaized images of kids but also letting Grok users do this stuff…

@senatedemocrats.bsky.social As the representatives of my political party, no more briefings, no more excuses, no more lies, no more *strongly worded letters* or *strong disagreements." Get up and fight for us or dont ask me for another goddmamn dime.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @dennisgoris.bsky.social )

can’t wait to see what the new anchor championing the principle of “we love america and we make no apologies for saying so” thinks about all this

between this move and the order for the coal plant to stay open, he's pursuing his energy priorities buy spending other people's money. OPM.
