When they say “a free democratic Venezuela,” as I have heard CNN contributors mouth over the past half hour, they mean “a capitalist Venezuela.”

In mainstream newsrooms by and large you're not supposed to share details about stories you're still reporting out. You can't scoop your own stories on social media while they're still "in train" so to speak
I think it's really worth noting that literally ZERO mainstream media outlets were talking about Trump claiming a land strike on Venezuela until a few others and I noticed this post here on Sunday and started asking questions. That goes completely unacknowledged in coverage.
Trump says this December 26 in an interview with John Catsimatidis that the US destroyed a drug trafficking plant in Venezuela on Christmas Eve.
“They have a big plant. A building from where the boats leave. Two nights ago we hit them hard.”

Polarization puts a hard cap on infrastructure. To build high-speed rail Democrats need to hold government for the project's entire lifecycle. That isn't going to happen so either costs have to come way down, construction speed has to go way up or polarity has to change, none of which is happening

I feel like "attention hacking" is most of politics now. The Minnesota aid fraud story is becoming a perfect example.
Recap: In 2022, the Biden DOJ filed the first charges against dozens of fraudsters, many of them Somali-American, who'd fleeced a state food aid program. (1/x)
