The world watches America sleepwalk past yet another off ramp, and wonders what the hell is wrong with us.

One day before January 6, remember this: Maduro’s regime isn’t the first government Trump has tried to topple in our hemisphere. It’s the second.

The reasons he listed for toppling Venezuela’s Maduro apply just as well to many other governments.

It feels like midnight on New Year’s Eve was our deadline for a national reckoning with Trump’s criminality, and we blew it.

17 days since Trump blew his Epstein Files Transparency Act deadline.

13 days since the last Epstein document release.

12 days since DOJ confessed to withholding “over a million more” Epstein documents.

Five years ago today, a pipe bomber arrived in Washington for a “wild” time at the invitation of fellow insurrectionist and election denier Donald Trump.

25th Amendment. I’ll say it every day because it needs to be said every day. 25th Amendment.
Trump just issued threats to attack Mexico, Cuba, Colombia, Iran, Venezuela (again), and Greenland (which would be an attack on all of NATO).

"If you don't call me cool and give me my lil award I'll kill as many people as possible out of spite" really does appear to be the driving animus of everyone in this administration and its adjacent oligarchy.
WH sources say Venezuela's opposition leader committed the "ultimate sin": She accepted the Nobel Peace prize.

“If she had turned it down and said, ‘I can’t accept it because it’s Donald Trump’s,’ she’d be the president of Venezuela today,” one said.

Trump says Venezuela has 17 trillion barrels of oil reserves.

The combined sum of the entire world is only 1.5 trillion.

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.
It would be so cool if the United States Congress still existed.

Opinion | The US cannot be pulled into an endless war in Venezuela. Democrats must end their Epstein inquiry NOW.

Actually, it is not a coup. The brutal and syatemically corrupt Chavistas are still in power, and Trumpers are saying they can remain in power - against the will and votes of the Venezuelan people - if they make Trump happy.
Haven’t seen analysis to this effect here, but this post from Alejandro Velasco argues that this is essentially a coup and have been hearing that many in Venezuela agree with this analysis.

We need to be honest with ourselves and our leaders about Venezuela

We are a rogue state, a global pariah

Trump is ruling as a dictator, period

An axis of evil wants to carve up small, resource-rich nations

The message for 2026 is clear: No kings!

Trump's illegal war on Venezuela cemented his claim to dictatorship and marked the U.S. as a global pariah.

FUN FACT: “I’m not against it or for it” is also his take on p***phila.
WELKER: Does the pardon of the former Honduran president undercut the admin's stated goal to go after these narcoterrorists?

RUBIO: I don't do the pardon file. I'm not against it or for it. I just didnt review the file so I can't speak to you about the dynamics that led POTUS to make that decision
January 4, 2026 at 3:35 PM
Donald Trump is generous like that.
WELKER: If the purpose of the operation was to capture Maduro and bring him to justice, why does the US need to take over the Venezuela oil industry?

RUBIO: Well, we don't *need* to. We have plenty of oil in the US. We want to see the oil proceeds of the country benefit the people of Venezuela.

When the news media say the U.S. attack on Venezuela “raises legal questions,“ that’s code for “the president is violating the law, but no one is going to stop him.”

The editors of @nytimes.com and @washingtonpost.com want you to endure three more years of this, because the alternative is reckoning with Trump’s crimes against c******n.
Trump: "We were prepared to do a second wave. We were all set. This was so lethal, so powerful that we didn't have to but we were prepared. We're out there w/ an armada like nobody has ever seen. Frankly, probably thought we were gonna have to do it. But we were prepared for a second wave going in"
