Glad to be among the thousands moving to Blue Sky. Nice to see you all over here. Hoping to eventually have a fraction of the 60k "followers" we used to have on the artist-formerly-known-as-Twitter.

Trump on China: "There's not gonna be a problem. They're gonna get oil. We're gonna allow people to have oil ... nobody can stop us."

Hakeem Jeffries was not briefed on the operation, Jake Sherman is now reporting. Neither was House Armed Services Committee. Amazing.
Whatever happens now, we absolutely cannot allow Trump's refusal to seek Congressional authorization for what appears to be a large scale military attack on another country vanish from the media discussion, which already appears to be happening.

The *liberal* news network
I turn on MSNOW and hear Gen. McCaffrey being too admiring of the operation as an operation: "unbelievable, audacious, complex, and successful military operation."

Good news is we have fewer questions about the military carrying out illegal orders.
Video rolling in of pretty massive airstrikes across Venezuela, plus low-flying helicopters which *appear* to be American.

I just gave a radio interview yesterday in which I talked about how January 2026 felt more hopeful than January 2026
But I did offer the caveat that Trump still controls the world's largest military - not surprising he would do this when everything else is crumbling

In our name, with our money, ostensibly for oil, but mostly because we have a president who's addicted to power and attention and needs to deflect from being friends with the world’s most famous pedophile. Shame on these fucking monsters who run my country. They need out.

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

I would think Maduro has head of state immunity from prosecution under international law (with exception for grave human rights violations, see, e.g., Pinochet)
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
