while the legality/constitutionality of the Maduro is an interesting question, it is one of manifest indifference to this administration and to the Congress and SCOTUS whose job is supposed to be to be indifferent to that indifference

It’s early on, but Maria Corina put all her chips on the Trump administration, and it doesn’t look good so far. I have to assume many others around the world are taking note of that…
Trump on María Corina Machado: "I think it'd be very tough for her to be the leader. She doesn't have the support or the respect within the country. She's a very nice woman but she doesn't have the respect."

Too bad they couldn't be bothered to vote for Kamala Harris in 2024.

Look I want Trump Impeached. I even want him impeached FOR last night among many other things.

But Impeachment is a PROCESS. It requires HEARINGS.

We don't go from 0 to Impeachment.

We PROVE our case to the American people.

Something Mike Johnson won't do, but Hakeem will do if made Speaker.

A half dozen threats from the administration today to invade and occupy other countries, including Canada, Mexico, Colombia and Greenland. Here's one.

Keep in mind: Trump couldn't share his plans to invade Venezuela with Congress because they're "not trustworthy." But he had no problems sharing these plans with Chevron and Exxon Mobil, as we learn here.

Trump would like to coordinate all his predatory conduct in Venezuela with the US-based fossil fuels industry, whose interests he firmly believes he is serving. The industry, however, is increasingly afraid of being associated with him. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

A CBS News staffer told me this after Tony Dokoupil kicked off his CBS Evening News tenure tonight with a lengthy Pete Hegseth interview:

"If this is what Bari and Tony’s CBS Evening News is going to look like, then the we may as well just call ourselves Trump Administration State TV. Pathetic."

President Trump said that no US service members were killed in the operation. The New York Times later reported Venezuelan officials stated that 40 people were killed in the raids, including military personnel and civilians.
