This kind of statement would once be made inside the most rarified councils of state, some ultralimited Special Group, wherein POTUS & his most trusted advisors would commit to never putting anything in writing yet some handwritten archival scrap excavated 50 years later would reveal the truth.
Trump on Venezuela: "Getting land, oil rights, whatever we had -- they took it away because we had a president that maybe wasn't watching. But they're not gonna do that. We want it back. They took our oil rights. We had a lot of oil there. They threw our companies out. And we want it back."

I'm told that HHS has just terminated all funding agreements with the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Here's a letter HHS sent canceling one of the grants, relating to work on birth defects. Canceled because the project "emphasizes equity, diversity, and inclusion as key foundational components"

4/ I know how hard this has been for everyone - especially during the holiday season.
My office is looking into ways to help alleviate the costs for the communities that have been affected and I’ll push for federal dollars to upgrade this old and fragile system.

Does Trump have to give back the FIFA Peace Prize after he invades Venezuela, or does the FIFA guy really not care what he does because he needs a lot of favors for the World Cup and the whole thing is a ridiculous corrupt charade?

It’s just great that we finally have an FBI Director who is able to make time to keep the American people informed with updates on the relationship he has with his girlfriend. There will never be another one like him.

Hegseth needs to be asked directly and repeatedly (when he refuses to answer) whether he believes that a swastika is a hate symbol. Force them all to individually admit or refute that they’re nazis and fascists.

The U.S. Coast Guard "new workplace harassment policy ... downgrades the definition of swastikas and nooses from overt hate symbols to 'potentially divisive' despite an uproar over the new language that forced the service’s top officer to declare that both would remain prohibited."

Do read this. It’s by Brian Eno for @thenerve.news & it’s about this generation’s BandAid.
Lullaby is based on a traditional Palestinian melody, all proceeds go to Gaza, it would be amazing for it to be Xmas no 1, but more than that, buying it is a political act 👊

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Look at broader measures of unemployment—including people who want a job but aren't in the labor force or who are working part-time but want a full-time job—and the labor market is in the worst place since the pandemic
