"The incoherence of the admin's communication suggests what happens next in Venezuela will be an unfolding series of screwups. If these clowns can’t even get the American public to support a war, do we really think they’ll be able to manage an infinitely more difficult task of nation-building?"
Trump's Venezuela adventure is already a propaganda disaster
Nobody is buying it, and we don't even know what they're trying to sell.

Such a cowardly answer.
Q: The White House on their website today blamed Capitol Police in part for the violence of January 6. Do you agree?

THUNE: I haven't seen what they put on their website

Noticing that CNN is calling Jan. 6 a “riot,” not an “insurrection.”

PSA: It was an insurrection.

The insurrection forever changed the course of American history. Right-wing extremism has further become a threat since January 6th.

That day serves as a reminder: Democracy isn't just a suggestion. Protecting it is fundamental to preserving the integrity of the nation.

Hillary Clinton: “Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured.

Trump then pardoned the attackers.

He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.” #Pinks #MomSky

I'm in MN and it breaks my heart that this happened, but when I saw the smear campaign that started, when Trump posted a meme Gov Walz ordered the assassination of Melissa Hortman, I cannot blame Gov Walz for not wanting to put his family through more filth by Trump. The rage is real.
Tim Walz is such a good and decent man. And seeing what has been done to him stirs a rage in me so strong that I can’t really grapple with it at times. I only know one way forward which is a promise to use that rage to bring about change and a return to decency.
Walz: "This is a concerted effort to try to destroy the president's opponents, to destroy the rule of law. And it became apparent to me that he was going to do that with me being there, and I just feel along with my family that it's the best decision for Minnesota."

Welcome to a Doctor Trumpenstein edition of the MAGA Minute!

Today, Trump gives medical advice and aid to people selling short on Tylenol stock.

Also, “it will all just go away” and if it doesn’t, inject yourself with bleach.

NEW: The DOJ has sued 21 states and D.C. for access to their complete voter files — a move that could enable Trump to use Americans’ private data against them. While my firm is involved in all cases, big law firms are sitting out the fight, Marc Elias writes. https://bit.ly/3LfRkGw

Disagreement is the lifeblood of democracy, but only when it’s grounded in evidence, integrity, & our shared humanity. Meaningful dialogue on human rights is breaking down. Here, I share the vitriol I receive not for shock, but to show why we must keep building a coalition to push back against hate.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.

This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

Someone ask him if he’s referring to President Lester Monroe or President Elmer Monroe, since they both had doctrines which are being recognized more and more
Trump: "All the way back it dated to the Monroe Doctrines. And the Monroe Doctrine is a big deal. But we've superseded it by a lot. By a real lot. They now call it the Donroe Document. I don't know. It's Monroe Doctrine. We sort of forgot about it."

How can anyone claim regime change won’t work in Venezuela?

Regime change to remove Taliban in Afghanistan worked so effectively that after 20+ years of war, hundreds of thousands of deaths, $3T wasted, we can finally rest easy knowing that the country is the able hands of…Taliban.😳

Ohhh…right.
