"Cognitively irresponsible" leaders do not want to explain themselves. They don't want to answer questions. They just want you to accept "because I said so" and have that be the end of the discussion. This is an autocrat. This is not a president.
Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Trump just said they were going to do this 4 days ago, meaning we were set to ring in the new year by kidnapping a foreign leader.
FOX & FRIENDS: What did you decide to do this this morning?
TRUMP: Are you talking about calling you people or this shot? Because I'm not sure which is worse if you want to know the truth. I'm calling you because Charlie Hurt has been a great friend of mine for a long time.

We cannot let this president drag us into more endless wars that risk the lives of American service members and civilians abroad.
The attack last night on Venezuela was unnecessary and unauthorized. The President’s actions are reckless and illegal.

I’m not sure how “no more wars” translates to “capture foreign leaders.” If this isn’t an act of war, what should we call it? www.instagram.com/reel/DTDI4A9...

Just want to add: Being convicted of a crime in the U.S. wouldn’t justify sending someone to a foreign gulag to be tortured, and arguably violates separation of powers since the “sentence” they are legally bound to serve is one issued by a judge, not Stephen Miller (i.e. the factoid is irrelevant)
Bari Weiss lied in her memo. She said segment didn't report administration's legal justification (it does in the very first sentence) and didn't say how many detainees had been charged with crimes as opposed to just those who were convicted (it does). www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense
One explanation for Bari killing the story is that she did so as a public act of fealty to the administration. But another is that, as an inexperienced journalist, she doesn’t understand that a refusal to go on the record is a kind of comment in and of itself

As a historian I've looked at hundreds of thousands of pages of government documents. And I just have to say that aside from being obviously illegal and clearly suggestive of some major crime, this “redaction” business is not a position in which serious people or serious governments find themselves
There is no basis to withhold these images under the clear terms of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. None.
WOW: The DOJ has DELETED an image from its release of the Epstein files that shows photos of Trump in a drawer.
Yesterday, we noted that this image — file 468 — likely slipped through the cracks while officials were attempting to hide materials pertaining to Trump.
Now, it’s gone.

Trump is watching this, deeply aware of his own mortality and knowing that when he's gone, there will be no such remembrances for him. Only a miles-long line of people...

What a fucking world the “leaders” have created. The fact that we haven't evolved beyond violence as a means of control is a choice by the “leaders” who benefit from it. This is obvious (of course), but I'm saying it anyway because I'm fucking sick of it.

Soooo the Trump admin is trying to control the narrative by keeping international visitors from talking shit about his administration. The tourism industry is already taking a hit, and this just makes it worse.
US could ask tourists for five-year social media history before entry
The plan would affect people from countries, including the UK, who can fill out a form in lieu of a visa.
