this is one of the problems with scheming viziers running the show, trump says, clearly, that it's about the oil, and to him, it might be; for rubio, it's something different, for hegseth, it's yet again something different. the insanity comes from trying to reconcile three competing thoughts
The amount of “this is clearly about oil” posting across all platforms as story after story comes out where the oil industry is saying that the oil isn’t worth extracting is making me feel a little insane

what people perceive as rightwing anti-intellectualism and anti-expertise trends are 100% seeping into the overly-online-left in the form of whatever this is and the related ‘if stories are about a topic or character they are endorsing that and if you try to analyze it you are also endorsing it”

We are being governed by people who have an absolute compulsion to appear to be “the man in the arena“ on Twitter dot com. Like, that’s what this boils down to. It’s a flame war by people who control an army bsky.app/profile/abea...
A lot of people have screamed "twitter isn't real life" at us for over a decade but the admin is currently being run by content creators seeking the approval of twitter users to the extent that their "situation room" had twitter feeds up on the projectors
Like, I think that the far more likely, if “worse“ explanation for why the administration is doing this is that they like snuff films, and/or photos of themselves “looking tough” in the situation room

The House Armed Services Committee also was not briefed, I've confirmed.
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.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Well
Reading headlines about the US massing forces to Venezuela and ”what is Trump’s aim with the troops ?” reminds me of a certain other country that massed troops at a neighbour’s border 4 years ago and headlines were wondering what Putin’s aim could possibly be

Don't take our word for it! The illustrious mayor thought so highly of the Wide Awakes' gift to him - a twist on a genuine, celebratory flyer upon 1860 Lincoln's election - that he included it in not one, but of his videos!

Mamdani: I have been told that this is the occasion to reset expectations, that I should use this opportunity to encourage the people of New York to ask for little and expect even less. I will do no such thing. The only expectation I seek to reset is that of small expectations.
