I'm thankful for the demise of DOGE. I'd be a heck of a lot more thankful if all the damage done by DOGE could be undone or repaired. American leadership thrown away and millions of lives destroyed by DOGE and its apologists.

Meanwhile in Russia: Dimitri Simes said that Trump never even read the "peace plan" he wanted Zelensky to sign. Chairman of the State Duma Defense Committee Andrey Kartapolov said Europeans will have to kneel before Russia if it wins in Ukraine.

This is heartbreakingly cruel and hypocritical. The same admin that has redefined refugee status to cover white South Africans is now going to drown thousands of refugees already approved for their status in red tape, potentially even seeking to strip some of their status and deport them.

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:
-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout
