So many in media are ill-equipped to interview officials about what’s happening because they begin with the presumption of legitimacy and don’t know enough about history or U.S. foreign policy to foment intelligent pushback and hold officials accountable.

It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.

He and Putin are looking for world power as dictators.

This is also a high risk move for the President, who wasn’t responsible for what happens in Venezuela but now is responsible for everything that comes after. That was one of Biden’s big mistakes in pulling troops out of Afghanistan - he owns the project and what comes after now.
now that President Trump, former host of celebrity apprentice, has finally brought the coward dictator to justice, I think i can confidently say most Americans will weep with gratitude and joy, responding to the pollsters with common, joyful phrases such as “who is Maduro” and “wait you did what”

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.
Right.
If you want a good explanation of why the American system of government worked well enough for 200 years and then suddenly stopped, it's because Republicans in Congress suddenly started letting their partisan interests COMPLETELY override their institutional interests

a lot of problems wouldn't exist if we had a congress with even an ounce of self interest

Trump - The Guardian reports:
Donald Trump has ordered that swathes of America’s forests be felled for timber, evading rules to protect endangered species while doing so and raising the prospect of chainsaws razing some of the most ecologically important trees in the US.

When being told that Americans are going to have to hurt to support Trump's policies, it is well to remember that the cost of congressional salaries is therefore 525 x $174,000, or $91,350,000.
Congress people should show support by taking a salary cut commensurate with the tariffs: 25%.

60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Health care is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable.
Trump should address these major crises at home and end his illegal military adventurism abroad.
