The Trump administration keeps calling Venezuela a “narco-terror” hub driving America’s fentanyl crisis. But a new GAO report shows the real pipeline runs through Mexico & Chinese suppliers — not Venezuela.

An off-duty ICE agent was just confronted in Minneapolis after people noticed a Nazi SS lightning bolt tattoo on his neck.
If you’re proud enough to ink it on your neck, why are you running when people notice?

They have to subsidize because otherwise the oil companies have no interest in investing in flooding the world with oil and lowering their profits.

"U.S. may subsidize an effort by oil companies to rebuild the country's energy infrastructure — a project he said could take less than 18 months."
Trump is looking to spend our tax dollars to boost up big oil's "infrastructure" in Venezuela.

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

Absolutely folks should get a flu shot, but your first line of defense against the flu, COVID, colds, RSV, and measles is masking in public indoor spaces. We're basically inhaling the equivalent of raw sewage water in most public indoor spaces because facilities aren't required to clean the air.
Flu is really bad right now, folks. If you haven't gotten a vaccine shot yet, there's still time.

I've noticed a new, more overt hostility to truth tellers on Fox. They used to laugh at them - now they're attacked.
MacCALLUM: You have about 100,000 dying from drug overdoses, most of those drugs from from Venezuela and other places
CROW: That's actually not true. The majority of the deaths by drugs in America are the result of meth and fentanyl. Almost none of that comes from Venezuela

You don't win in politics by throwing your hardest working supporters under the bus because you believe right wing horseshit - but that's what Dems did to Acorn!
I worked for ACORN back in the 90's. It's where I met my husband. I believed in its mission - still do - and mourned when it fell to a cynical attack of right wing misinformation and distortion. It breaks my heart that these gross tactics are still used and can still work.
It's ACORN all over again
