Some news: In an attempt to convey supposed transparency, the Pentagon told me that Pete Hegseth has granted anonymous background interviews on Venezuela to some "mainstream media outlets"—all while the Trump admin trashes anonymous sourcing. More in @status.news: www.status.news/p/pentagon-p...
The Pentagon’s Pet Press
After carrying out a military operation that deposed Venezuela's authoritarian leader, the Pentagon is choosing to ice out journalists in favor of sycophantic media figures.

That’s because on social media, The People (with a capital P) dictate what matters. That's why you may see something real here. Daily establishment humiliation aside, what scared them is the 24/7 live feed of proof that The People are fighting against their tyranny in words, courts, streets

So pathetic to write an editorial on Gaza and make it about Biden's legacy and not about the fact that even at this stage the international community is not considering invading Israel and taking its nuclear weapons away but having these silly UN kitty parties on whether to call it a genocide.
