Step 1: Put your dick in a box.

In this case it's Marco Rubio's dick, and the box is Venezuela.

Thread from last month:
Plausible worst case scenario with Venezuela in four steps:

1. Rubio and Venezuelan exiles sell the idea of decapitation strikes against Maduro to Trump as the one big thing that solves Venezuela, cartels and Cuba for the US.

I don't remember who it was that recommended Stephen Kinzer's biography of the Dulles brothers, but I'm finally reading it on a beach in Belize. I didn't expect to be starting it as the U.S. got back in the business of overthrowing Latin American nations at the behest of industry, but here we are.

I didn't grow up religious, but I did attend a Sunday service at Southside Presbyterian in Tucson in the early 90s. I was as moved as I have ever been in a house of worship.

The world needs more Rev. John Fifes --living your beliefs, no matter the cost, as an example to us all.
Excellent piece. FWIW, we just reran our @thisdaypod.com episode about the sanctuary church movement of the 1980s podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Biden commuted 37 death sentences to life sentences. So the Trump administration is sending them to ADX Florence, where they spend 22 hours a day in a cell the size of a parking space, even if they need a catheter to pee.

The cruelty is always the point.

J.D. Vance: "Your hosting skills are unmatched, sir. No one hosts as well as you."
“…I am hosting the event. Tell me what you think of my ‘Master of Ceremony’ abilities. If really good, would you like me to leave the Presidency in order to make ‘hosting’ a full time job?”

This is the best example of the Streisand Effect in history -- and I'm including Barbra in that.
And now someone has uploaded a version that wasn't filmed off a TV.

There's also the torrent link there, which is probably the fastest way to download the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT if you want to save the file locally to your computer.

Well look at that
Oh yeah Global TV (in Canada or by VPN) has the full uncut 60 Minutes story on its 60 Minutes rebroadcast. CBS must have sent them the original tape.

Quick check in on everyone who sponsored the Abundance conference last fall. The Koch network? Niskanen?

Or maybe the Abundance $$$ isn't actually about more of everything and it's just about taking folks like Matty and Ezra for a ride and pretending we can permit our way out of this.
What a 🤡 show. "National security" my ass. Doug Burgum is a national embarrassment.

It would sure be a shame if the finished segment made it off a CBS server and on to YouTube today.

$2 million! This is what philanthropy and leadership looks like. What a treasure.
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.
