Reading in bed to my smallest child (The Westing Game), who made it all of a chapter and a half before conking out. Hurrah! However, there is now a child sleeping on my legs and a box of chocolates on the dresser and Indiana Jones himself was never in such a quandary.

(Semafor) - The New York Times and Washington Post learned of a secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin Friday night — but held off publishing what they knew to avoid endangering US troops ..

I can barely process the Trump press conference I've just listened to. This is the kind of stuff you usually hear from dictators at the very heights of their delusions. Not elected leaders of superpowers.

Not that crazy IMO
➡️ The Republican-run Supreme Court has ruled the President can't be prosecuted for doing crimes in office
➡️ The Republican-run Congress has decided Trump's the boss and they are mere spectators

News: Gang of Eight in Congress were only notified about Trump's Venezuela operation after it began, source familiar tells me. That means the heads of the Intelligence Committees in Senate and House were *not* consulted. Just crazy.

The bombing of Venezuela and the kidnapping of Maduro are gross violations of international law and our own Constitution.
Trump & his admin have lied, consolidated power, & committed war crimes to seize Venezuelan oil & pursue regime change for their imperialistic agenda in the Western Hemisphere.

For the first time in modern Texas history, Dems have candidates running in every state and federal race on the 2026 ballot.
That includes all congressional seats, every state House and state Senate race, plus statewide judicial and State Board of Education.

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.
He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.
