Local ICE-watchers have done more to protect Venezuelans from fascist thugs than the entire Democratic caucus over the last 12 months.

Excerpt from WaPo: “‘They actually built a house which was identical to the one they went into with all the safes and all the steel all over the place,’ Trump told ‘Fox & Friends.’”
CIA would probably have preferred that Trump not say that.

This has been gearing up for Trump’s entire first year, at least back to when a FOIA release to @freedom.press showed the administration was unabashedly lying when it invoked the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans to El Salvador.
And the administration has yet to face a single consequence.

I swear Trump could start a war unilaterally and Bluesky would be more angry about what Hakeem Jefferies and Chuck Schumer have to say about it than the actual war itself.

The surprising part isn't that the US has gone and done regime change in yet another nation, it's how blunt they're being about the reasoning for doing it. No carefully constructed lies and implied domestic consent, just stating openly in a press conference that you're there to take the oil.

A new Oklahoma bill, SB1284, would require dancers to obtain an "Exotic Entertainer License" in order to perform. Those who dance without state approval could face up to a year in prison.
Free speech, even sexy dancing, is not conditioned on government approval.

A truly cynical possibility is that we basically have struck a deal with the rump regime in Caracas and we'll pretend they're going to do our bidding in a big way, they'll denounce us, the reality will be modest symbolic change (eg foreign oil investment), and we sell out the democratic opposition
