I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

Lawrence is such a name dropper. 😆 He brags all the time. A bit tone-deaf right now, but as long as he keeps sticking it to Trump, he's forgiven.

Trump and cronies like Pete Hegseth aren’t just criminal incompetents, they’re utterly dangerous.
The combination of cruelty, inadequacy, and corruption destabilizes and endangers all of us, and every day it gets worse and worse.

Let's preview how the discourse around "political violence" is going to be exploited going forward. When lawless thugs brutalize the citizenry of Blue cities on Trump's orders, that will be "law enforcement." If citizens do anything to resist, that will be "political violence."
Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher.
Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

#maddow I'm gonna be honest here and say I was disappointed in Kamala Harris playing safe politics and not answering many of Rachel's questions at all. Caution of a candidate? Perhaps. But not what the times demand.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

The FCC Chair saying “You can deal with Kimmel the easy way or the hard way” is the very definition of a chilling effect on speech, and a good indicator the First Amendment is a dead letter in the Trump regime. Free speech is dying in America and none of our free speech warriors seem to care

Rachel, I would guess Trump has backed off on Chicago for the reasons you said, PLUS that they are weaponizing the murder of Charlie Kirk to rile people up and then accuse them of violence so he can falsely claim the need for military intervention. #Maddow @maddow.msnbc.com

There is a clutch of pundits who treat the world like it’s an Ivy League seminar course, mostly because that’s the environment in which they emerged. They think debate and white papers are the pinnacle of political action. They fume at anyone who approaches politics in any other way.
