“There was zero plan, except causing pain,” said one U.N. official about the Trump administration’s decision to stop funding the group with no notice or communication. “And that is not forgivable.”

Did a Drag Story Hour defense in the morning, then off to the Arlington #TeslaTakedown.

You might be seeing a theme here. Much respect for the quick signwork. People are enraged by the illegal kidnapping of the Venezuelan president and his wife.

Been dealing with lots of family stuff these past couple of months.

I’ve still been protesting and, uh, wandering the scenic DC neighborhoods a couple times a week to take in that crisp winter air.

I just haven’t had time to post much of what I’m doing.

We’ll see if I can fix that going forward.

MDC will now be home to a leader who our country says is so dangerous they needed to be violently deposed.

The very same building also holds people that fled his regime who are being detained by ICE because we are not granting them asylum.
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife have arrived at Stewart International Airport, outside New York City, following U.S. strikes in Venezuela. They are expected to be transported by helicopter to Manhattan, then driven to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Katy Tur reports.

A few hundred people are gathered in downtown portland to protest the Trump administration’s attack on Venezuela. A broad coalition of groups is present. Maybe 350 people here so far.

Happening now: several hundred people are pouring into Chicago's downtown Federal Plaza.

It's 25 degrees outside.

Organizers are leading the crowd in a chant of, "no boots on the ground, no bombs in the air!"

Two protesters hold a large banner reading, "no war for Venezuela oil."

Candid answer - as someone who handled constituent affairs calls for years - while they’re not checking the phone right now, the urgency of the moment is important.

Show them you care enough to make the weekend call, and be counted that way. Staffers will clock and report this upstream.
Is there actually a benefit to leaving a VM now vs getting a staffer on Monday? Can do both but just curious

I’m at Times Square, where an emergency “No War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20°F weather.

“No more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!”

“No boots on the ground no bombs in the air, U.S. out of everywhere!”

babe wake up, they're doing insider trading on war crimes
“What appears to be a newly created account appeared to invest $30,000 Friday in Maduro's exit. After Maduro went into custody Saturday morning, that same investor netted $436,759.61.”
Someone made $400K by predicting Maduro's capture. Here's what happened
The winnings come as the rules governing prediction markets are still evolving.

Remember that weird televised address Trump gave on Wednesday, December 17? And on the same day Rubio looked sweatier and more nervous than usual?

Wondering if this illegal attack on Venezuela was originally supposed to happen then and got called off at the last minute?
