If you're trying to avoid alcohol over the holidays, I recommend a drinking game in which you imbibe every time Trump mentions Epstein during his Wednesday night address to the nation

It's the Sober Wednesday before Fat Friday (when Trump releases the pre-doctored Epstein Files)

I've been reporting on the criminal justice system for over a decade and have lived in an authoritarian country overseas, but I've never seen anything like the police presence in ICE-occupied Memphis. Here's my dispatch: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Read this report and you will conclude that Wiles is a deluded partisan nutjob who is enabling the most dangerous man on Earth, and doing so quite intentionally.

Did she know that when she said of her conversations with Trump, “He wants to keep on blowing boats up until Maduro cries uncle,” she was underwriting a future war crimes indictment against him?

She’s *confessing* that Trump is engaged in the very *definition* of terrorism, *not* drug interdiction.

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."

"Every lockdown drill is a confession of failure. Every barricaded classroom is an indictment. Every child taught to hide is proof that the adults in charge have surrendered."
What Are We Doing to Our Children?
We taught kids to read, write, and dream; then trained them to hide, barricade, and bleed quietly while adults chose guns, cowardice, and silence over their future.

Trump’s Justice Department is hellbent on accessing our private voter info—Social Security numbers, party affiliation, driver's licenses—resulting in what experts warn would be a gold mine for hackers.

“It's a hacker's dream to have all of this private, sensitive information collected somewhere.”

The most transparent administration in history is now hiding both the complete Epstein files and the complete video of the Sept. 2 boat strike from the American people, only releasing the parts of each that they want you to see while concealing the rest.

ICE deported a woman who owned a home in the US for 30 years. A judge banned ICE from deporting her to Sierra Leone where she had been tortured, so it deported her to Ghana, which kidnapped her and sent her back Sierra Leone anyway. ICE is part of this illegal conspiracy.
