Does anyone have that clip of a reporter interviewing Schumer and mentioning that other autocracies happened because the opposition is too late, asking if that was the case for Democrats? And then Schumer saying "nah dw about it"

White House reporters are asking the tough questions, like "where did my nose go?" and "did you use a ladder to write 'gullible' on the ceiling?"
Blows my mind that some of the same journalists who see Trump as a want-to-be dictator at home are earnestly discussing the "challenges" for this same man to "bring democracy" to a country it just illegal invaded. Please grow up.

Cannot fucking believe we get an inside look of the Situation Room and the only thing happening is that Hegseth is hunched over apparently searching for tweets about "venezuela"
Several of the photos have Twitter up on a screen in the background but I can’t make out what search term appears

Members of the press stop enabling this man challenge 2026
Q: Is it possible that the US ends up administering Venezuela for years?

TRUMP: Well, you know, it won't cost us anything because the money coming out of the ground is very substantial
January 3, 2026 at 6:29 PM
"how are you going to run the country you just illegally invaded" is also a big one to ask with a straight face
trump is being asked by reporters how he plans to run venezuela and there is clearly no plan.

Hegseth on Maduro: "He effed around, and he found out"

Vance’s use of quotes is deliberate, not illiterate like Trump’s. Here, it signifies that legality itself is a dubious or frivolous concept as applied to the actions of the regime. It conveys not just that it’s wrong to say the acts were illegal, but ridiculous to use law as a metric at all.
Vance pushes back and says this was not illegal, arguing "Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism. You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas."

As a centrist, I think Donald Trump is bad, but the political and economic conditions that enabled him to become president twice are good

Continues to be amazing how harshly Trump punishes loyalty and how people still continue to devote themselves to him
Trump on María Corina Machado: "I think it'd be very tough for her to be the leader. She doesn't have the support or the respect within the country. She's a very nice woman but she doesn't have the respect."

I knew I could count on these amazing guys to demand a briefing 💪💪👏
Hakeem Jeffries is absolutely worthless. His only demand is that Dems get a briefing on what just happened.

“Far too many questions remain unanswered…”

Has there ever been such a blatant admission "we will be running a puppet government"?
This uhh lady down there who Marco had a really nice phone chat with is gonna do it for us. Won’t cost a thing.

The same editorial board described Seattle’s mayor raising taxes to pay for childcare as a totalitarian power grab
The Washington Post editorial board comes out in favor of the Venezuela attack/operation to capture Maduro

Expect to see a lot of this classic Onion headline, from 23 years ago, over the coming weeks.

Have any legal experts made any predictions about what a "trial" of a foreign head of state charged with non-crimes far beyond the very broadest interpretations of US jurisdiction would even look like?

Like surely the list of reasons this would be thrown out is longer than the indictment itself?

Perhaps now people will stop wishcasting about the US military refusing illegal orders. That's not a thing that happens. The 100% compliance rate with using civilian boats for target practice was a bit of a tell.

I do kind of feel like this is the last chance for Dems to move

We're actively watching them blow their last political crisis. Once you let him fight wars on his own, Congress is basically just decorative

Extremely nasty trick by the flibco company to only sell (extremely overpriced!) flex tickets so they do not have to guarantee you a seat on any bus and can simply make you wait for the next one and then the next one in the snow and rain

Still not the right time to impeach? Should we wait until he bombs California?
So we’re just announcing foreign strikes and kidnappings of foreign leaders on social media now? No Congress. No explanation.

This is madness.

Yes yes yes and yes. And analysts in Europe have been saying this for quite a while too.

I find it very sad how hard it is for me to enjoy still live paintings because a lot of it is showing off their incredible skill but it's hard for me to know how difficult the various feats are
