The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.

“There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

this is all to say that should democrats win the house and senate this november, they should hold similarly dramatic — which is to say televised and highly publicized — hearings on the conduct of ICE and CBP, with testimony from victims. we want as much of *this* as possible in the record. (3/?)
ICE detained Arlit Maria Martinez on her way to work. 2 days later, her 15 yo son died of cancer. They wouldn't let her out to say goodbye. The family had planned to move back to Mexico prior to the cancer diagnosis but stayed for his treatment. Now, Mr Martinez has lost his wife to ICE & his son.
Teen dies of cancer days after mother arrested by ICE: ‘She’s never gonna see him’
The mother's family pleaded with federal officers for her release from custody to say her final goodbyes to her son, but their requests went unanswered.

It’s painfully obvious these goons have no idea what they’re doing. And they’ve learned nothing in the past week.

Imagine going to a doctor’s appointment and all hell breaks loose. They cut your seatbelt, and yank you out of your car.

Why is any of this necessary?

The authoritarians are sinking their claws deeper.
I found this piece by @hannahnatanson.bsky.social both inspiring and heartbreaking as the tale of one reporter going all out to record the stories of government staffers seeing their life’s work tossed in the trash. The FBI just responded by raiding her home www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
I am The Post’s ‘federal government whisperer.’ It’s been brutal.
One reporter’s effort to show how Trump was transforming government brought her 1,168 new sources — and nearly broke her.

Bellingcat knows a crime-laden government when it sees one.
We identified remnants of an AGM-88 series missile inside a three-storey apartment complex that was hit in Catia La Mar during the US military raid on Venezuela on Jan. 3, 2026, that reportedly killed at least one civilian.

The reputational damage to the MPD in DC is very real across the city.
Collaborating with ICE tells us that you're against the community you serve:

Numbers refute Miller, Trump, Vance and this other heavily make-upped clown.

"The number of detainees arrested by ICE without convictions or pending criminal charges rose from 842 on Dec. 1, 2024, to 21,892 on Nov. 30, 2025 — an astounding 2,500% increase."
The Department of Homeland Security and the officials who lead it cannot be trusted to provide good-faith, accurate information about what they are doing and any claims they make should be considered in that context. www.ms.now/opinion/kris...

"She said she felt as if the ICE agents were untrained, inexperienced & didn’t know what they were doing. Heller said the driver was being told to leave but also being instructed to stop at the same time, then the man 'just fired' his gun."

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

Dishearteningly true at this point.

Our country has been laid low by power hungry bigots in the past.
"Usually when people are sad, they don't do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change".
We need to bring a little more Malcolm into the mix.

The timing of the Trump/Rubio attack on Venezuela that killed at least 80 people is not suspicious at all.
Did Trump also kidnap the Epstein Files?

Whatever happened with the DOJ’s requirement to release the files, explain the redactions, and catalog everything they had?
