It's interesting that Russia withdrew all of its personnel from Venezuela exactly 14 days before Trump's invasion. China didn't withdraw their personnel. Cuba didn't withdraw theirs. Just Russia.

It is almost as if someone called Putin to warn him what's up as part of a quid pro quo.

Not almost.

A very long and important THREAD -

The real reason the US is invading Venezuela goes back to a deal Henry Kissinger made with Saudi Arabia in 1974.

And I'm going to explain why this is actually about the SURVIVAL of the US dollar itself.

Not drugs. Not terrorism. Not "democracy." 1/

Sharyn Alfonsi says CBS News editor in chief Bari Weiss spiked a cleared, fact-checked 60 Minutes story on Trump deportations to El Salvador for political reasons—likening it to the network’s disastrous suppression of whistleblower Jeffrey Wigand.

Anyone who has had to care for elderly parents knows that Kamala Harris’s home care benefit is everything. I still can’t believe American voters are too stupid to look past personal prejudice to POLICY. Did they vote for Project 2025 over this bc they were too lazy to be informed or too damn sexist?
Dear Republican voters, this is what you could have had if racism/sexism/propaganda hadn’t curdled your minds 👇

There should be a constitutional mechanism for removing a president. Not impeachment, something that actually works, maybe like a catapult

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

Just a reminder that ICE didn't exist until 2002. It's not some longstanding institution that must be maintained. It was created as a knee-jerk reaction to 9/11, and it could be gotten rid of as easily as it was created.

NEW: Left-wing victories in Jersey City, plus recent events in the city of Trenton, have added pressure for New Jersey to finally empower civilian police oversight boards.

Dem officials at the state level have opposed or ignored the demands for years.

NEW, on activism around policing in NJ:

Local officials in Newark, Jersey City, and Trenton want civilian agencies that can investigate police and issue subpoenas. But they keep running into the state’s Democratic leaders.

Remember the ringleader of prison torture at Abu Ghraib, Charles Graner? Was a corrections officer at a notorious prison in Pennsylvania where guards were repeatedly accused of abusing prisoners.
Sent to Abu Ghraib as a military prison guard.

1. She was the only person legally eligible to the Biden war chest, campaign infrastructure, field offices, staffers etc whereas anyone else would have had to start from scratch with just 107 days *before* a convention?

2. Her job was literally to take over in case anything happened to him?
Obama feebly tried to stage an open convention. That would have been much, much better.

It was never clear to me why Democrats rallied around Harris so immediately, except for some weird notion on appearing unified.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

We need a country that stops using women as the safety net for its failures.

That’s what I’m fighting for. Because when women have support, families stand stronger. Communities get stronger. Arkansas gets stronger.

I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...😵
I thought my new health insurance premium was going to be $350 per month until I got this letter informing me that it would be $1,228.28 PER MONTH. I CURRENTLY PAY $50. Is my math mathing? Is that.... a 2,356.42% increase?

2256.42%????

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
