Trump is a major joke but he’s also dangerously deranged and unhinged. insane speech.

Trump takes all the broken parts of America that are papered over with comforting lies of innocence and makes them a hateful vision of how America should be and act. Debating the details evades the uprooting and painful transition needed to realize the nation we can, finally, become.
Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

All of this analysis is important. But the third image offers a crucial point about the fantasy of imposed regime change. You can’t just remove one person and watch the system magically reorder itself.
Best thing I’ve read this morning, from a human rights lawyer in Mexico. Translation is in the ALT-text.

Anyway, it's hard to see how this makes the US more secure. And I can't help looking at the pictures of this massive naval deployment and thinking about how much it cost relative to giving Ukraine what it needs to defend itself. 10/10

rubio pretty much believes in a reverse domino theory for latin america and since he is effectively running foreign policy in the region i would expect him to see cuba as his next target
And I don’t want to sound conspiratorial, but if they feel like they can do this in Venezuela without any serious consequences, they’re absolutely going to try it in Cuba too.

As we all said, international law, such as it was, no longer exists. The United States, following Israel’s precedent, considers itself to have the explicit authority to blatantly violate sovereignty anywhere in the world and abduct even leaders of other states.

Stupid, ineffective ideas with terrible consequences is what Trump campaigned on so this checks out.
A deluge of work on regime change after the 2003 invasion of Iraq yielded strong (and rare) agreement in IR: it doesn't work & has terrible consequences. @profdownes.bsky.social's book Catastrophic Success lays it out, but it's right there in the title. www.cornellpress.cornell.edu/book/9781501...

Bari Weiss’ rebrand of CBS News as “Fox News but way less successful!” is coming along apace.
Incredible. CBS Evening News announces five new “simple values” — instead of their “38-page handbook” — as they roll out Tony Dokoupil is lead anchor.
One of those values is simply: “We love America and make no apologies for saying so.”
