this oil companies thing kinda feels like trump shot them in the foot and they were over venezuela's oil and it's like in a mafia movie where someone is like "i brutally killed that chef who mildly offended you, be grateful"
like they don't want this PR or this conflict?

Since Zohran Mamdani took office, the US has conducted an illegal invasion of Venezuela, bellicosely threatened to do the same in Greenland, and launched proceedings against Sen. Mark Kelly for exercising his First Amendment rights. At what point does the Left admit it made a grievous mistake?

my 75yo mother told me last night that she’s planning to delete Instagram and Facebook because she’s sick of not being able to tell what’s AI and what’s not, and I genuinely don’t think tech companies have reckoned with this kind of move as an actual possibility

Bush the Elder won the most decisive military victory in the history of ever with full UN backing, then lost reelection because he asked Americans to maybe pay like five cents more in taxes and his opponent could play the saxophone.
things feel very bad right now, but I'd also encourage people to think of how it was a year ago vs how it was in December.

Matt Taibbi: To Protect Free Speech, I’m Suing the Man Who Defamed Me
There’s a difference between censorship, which prevents speech, and seeking restitution for a harmful lie already in print. That's why I'm suing the man who defamed me, writes Matt Taibbi.

The purpose of pushing impeachment articles through the House, via a fucking discharge petition if necessary, is to make Trump have to spend resources defending himself in the Senate.
And if new impeachment articles come through every two weeks, you force the motherfucker on defense.

IMO the argument is that you can make things into big enough deals that it matters. Khanna found Massey and found survivors and made the Epstein Files the gigantic story it should be. Only then did establishment Dems come along. You can, in fact, make things into big hairy deals if you do it right.
if you want the Senate to do something, Senate Republicans must do something.
People are dunking on this but I'm not really sure what plays Schumer has other than to try to peel off Rs.

IANAL but i stg whenever the admin pulls out some arcane legal justification, all i hear is kids speculating about the crimes they could commit if we paddle out far enough into international waters
At some point, I would love to see an interviewer ask someone from the Trump administration which specific portion of Article II they are relying on.
Pam Bondi: "This was well within the president's Article 2 powers. It was a law enforcement function to arrest indicted individuals in Venezuela."
