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.

There’s a center-left wrecker caucus in the party that gets way less scrutiny than progressive groups that aren’t even formally affiliated with Dems.
Some Democrats hate that their party is largely positioning itself in opposition to the operation that resulted in Maduro's capture.

"Everything Trump touches must be bad according to the base," one House Dem told @axios.com

Said another: "It looks weak." www.axios.com/2026/01/04/m...
"It looks weak": Some Democrats want their party to shut up and clap for Maduro's capture

Yup. They want Mamdani to fail and are using this as their first tool to try to engineer that outcome, covering this as if it's a scandal until it becomes one bsky.app/profile/benj...
The first person quoted in here is Randy Mastro, who has repeatedly said he has it out for Mamdani. He’s just using The Times for revenge. The other quoted sources are social media posts. This is abysmal immoral journalism.

if I hire an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he instead presents me with a list of reasons he is incapable of doing so while asking for more money so that he can maybe handle it later, I am not angrier at the roaches, I am in the market for a better exterminator

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

Any journo who works at either of them, and knew about this, and DIDN'T take it somewhere else to publish, is also complicit in war crimes and a terrorist attack against a sovereign nation.

Imagine being the person brave enough to leak this in the hopes that media attention could stop it and then the media just……buries it.

For gazillionth time, the standard you walk past is the standard you accept
“Well… we can’t just keep filing impeachment articles all the time.”

Yes you can! If the man is committing impeachable offenses on the regular, you’re acquiescing to a standard that raises the bar for impeachable offense to absurd levels.
How are voters meant to understand how serious things are if in lieu of shouting fire AND going into building with hoses, you're simply posting fire safety suggestions on social media?
Not introducing articles of impeachment is a message that Trump hasn't committed impeachable offenses.

Wonder why journalists, like elected officials and their hangers-on, don’t want to see predictions markets regulated. Insider “trading” must be pretty sweet on the side!

Also most people in the opinionated political writing business, & esp. the prominent accounts in and adjacent to "Election Twitter," are addicted to social media. This leads quickly to developing poster brain, which makes them overconfident, over-reliant on priors, and generally anti-normative
