A foreign president can be held liable under US law, but an American president cannot. Weird.

The Venezuelan invasion provided one more example of how difficult it is to be timely on a weekly feature. I feel the pain of John Oliver (one of the top 19 people I’d love to hear read from my book on air) trying to keep up with it on @lastweektonight.com Only 912 outrages to go till next Friday!
Tonight’s first #FridayLimericks of 2026 see the growing chasm between MAGA rhetoric and reality.
As Trump’s stories grow long in the tooth,
He’s more fully divorced from the truth.
Any story he gins,
Like his hair, quickly thins
And unravels—no need for a sleuth.

Maduro is not a “good guy.” But the legal justification for this action is somewhere between flimsy and non-existent. Under the guise of terrorism defense, we’ve kidnapped a foreign president and plan to take over their oil supply. That’s terrorism. (1/2)

The ‘Putinization’ of US foreign policy has arrived in Venezuela
Trump is no longer bending the rules – he is demolishing them, with consequences far beyond Caracas

FOLKS NEED TO REALIZE HOW HUGE THIS IS
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 recently found another way that this poverty penalty affects people w/out healthcare insurance. I went in for 2 vaccines. 1st was no cost to me. The 2nd was going to cost me $40. With my current insurance card, the cost dropped to zero. The poor “fees” never end, even when trying to stay healthy

Super intriguing article. I would encourage you to read the article and think about some of what he says about post-Trump politics. I wonder if when Congress reconvenes, more of the GOP Senators and US Reps will offer more pushback. Perhaps more people will take the Susie Wiles approach?

“Drill baby drill” wasn’t a statement made in favor of handing over federal land to oil companies.
It was meant as a notice to other countries, like Venezuela & Nigeria, that he’d be taking over their land to hand over to oil companies.
