Trump has no concept of other people having agency. So he thinks taking out the President of Venezuela means he is in charge now.

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.

Isobel's contribution, she says feeding treats to cats is proven to help lower stress in humans. I'm guessing this scientific study was organised by cats

This is why I don't think the GOP was briefed in advance.
Mike Lee, who fancies himself an intellectual, advances the premise that US agents can walk into the Venezuelan president’s rooms in Caracas at any time and exercise a plenary police power, and if anyone in that sovereign state might get in their way the military can just start blowing shit up.

There better be no Dems calling for "resignations" over this. Nobody is going to fucking resign voluntarily. Impeach everyone - President, VP and the entire fucking Cabinet. File even if goes nowhere.

I hope John Roberts never has a good night's sleep in his life -- and every time he gets up in the middle of the night may he step on legos.

Attacking Venezuela is not to keep hiding the Epstein Files. Trump was already doing that. Venezuela is about oil and wanting to be a Big Boy Dictator like his buddy Putin and idol Xi Jinping. That's it. It's not any deeper than that.

If you tell me that this is a distraction from the Epstein files I will block you into last week.
For fuck's sake, people in other countries are actual human beings who do not deserve to be murdered. They are deserving of our attention and care. Their violent deaths should not be on our hands.

You obeys the laws of war and don't kidnap/assassinate other heads of state because you want other countries to do the same. Not because you're too woke or something.

##NavalHistory folks, when did navies start convoying merchant ships in war time to protect them? Was that a steam thing when it was easier to maneuver and keep ships together? Or did it happen sooner? I'm working on something and had an idea.

Broke down and bought the Civil War Diary of Gideon Welles (V. 1 only because both volumes beyond my budget) as a belated Christmas gift because I am sick of the ebook version.

As of today, I am a FULL professor. I do not care much for occupational status markers. Still, it is not lost on me that only 2% of full professors are Black women. This goes beyond personal accomplishment. It is a responsibility to do as much as I can for others. That is exactly what I aim to do.

if he is taking too much aspirin then yeah abdominal and cardio scans make sense. To watch for internal bleeding. If he skips them .....
There’s a very real chance that Trump skips future medical treatments because he worries it will make him look weak and I think that’s beautiful

GOD that feeling when you make a historical connection between two seemingly unrelated things (one of which I only know about because of Bluesky). Such a high -- and I didn't need ketamine to hit it.

And I think liberals should stop taking the bait and ceding ground on immigration.
Immigration is good. Multiculturalism is good. Free trade is good. Stop being embarrassed to say so.

Well this explains the bruising. He's thinned his blood too much.
Trump admits to taking more aspirin than his docs recommend: “They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart. I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense?”
