If Trump wags the dog in Venezuela it is going to do enormous damage to his already degraded brand here in the US. Zero support for this in the public. Will be seen for what it is - transparent attempt to rescue his flailing Presidency.
The US Navy destroyer USS Stockdale is now 50 km off the coast of Venezuela.

G. Maxwell, Epstein’s partner in crime, wants her federal sentence, set to keep her locked up until 2037, cut short. Because apparently orchestrating a global sex trafficking network now comes with a side of audacity and a sprinkle of entitlement.

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them.
There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”
He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care
This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person
They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

It's the great disconnect that CEOs get obscene wealth even when their companies falter while the average worker can have their life thrown into chaos as they suffer the consequences of bad management
Tesla’s profit fell 37% in the third quarter. It's been in the process of laying off 14,000 workers. It had more cars impacted by recalls than any other brand in 2024.
Yet Elon Musk just got a pay package worth $1 trillion.
American capitalism is off the rails.

Democrats actually care about our country and our people. Restoring ACA subsidies would actually help Republicans politically, but Dems are putting people and country over party
Leader Jeffries is spot on! Republicans, led by Trump, triggered this 37-day shutdown and haven't lifted a finger. While Dems are ready to work for the people, the GOP is clearly working for Trump.

Most shutdowns end because two sides who initially were unable to come to an agreement during negotiations finally compromised when the pain points hit and things got worked out.
But in this one, Trump ordered Republicans not to negotiate at all. That makes it hard to resolve.
