At a White House roundtable, Donald Trump presses a Halliburton executive about why his company left Venezuela. The answer is blunt. They were forced out in 2019. By U.S. sanctions. His sanctions.
This is what policy amnesia looks like in real time.

#GVerse The Black Panthers have re-entered the chat!
The Panthers are a revolutionary socialist group that fed & protected the community.
They were such a threat to the dictatorship of capital they were falsely labeled “terrorists.” Their reemergence is necessary.

Wow: Mary Peltola announces she's running for Senate in Alaska — as a Dem, of course.
Peltola looked to be deciding between a run for governor, where she looked like she'd almost be favored, and a tough race for Senate against Republican incumbent Sullivan.
Telling of Dems' mood she chose latter.

A brilliant opening maneuver. Framing his predecessor's tenure as aberrant and illegitimate is both totally reasonable and creates room for radical change.
I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this.
He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

THIS ISN’T GETTING ENOUGH ATTENTION.
More than 100 immigration judges have been fired nationwide since Trump took office. 21 in San Francisco alone, many without explanation.
Why? Because these judges provided due process under US law.
The Trump admin doesn’t want hearings or fairness.

Recent polls show Dem State Rep. Aftyn Behn down by only two points in the special election for Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District—which will be held on Tuesday. The fact that this seat is within reach for Democrats is a very bad sign for the GOP, as Trump won the district by 22 points in 2024.
