U.S. seizes ‘very large’ oil tanker off Venezuelan coast, Trump says
The seizure was a significant escalation in the U.S. pressure campaign against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his country’s oil-dependent economy.

There goes the lucrative industry of international tourism, already fairly wrecked. The US was "the world’s most powerful Travel & Tourism market, contributing a record-breaking $2.36 TN to the nation’s economy last year" said the World Travel & Tourism Council in 2024.
Requiring temporary visitors to surrender five years of social media to the U.S. sends the message that the American commitment to free speech is pretense. This simply is not the behavior of a country confident in its freedoms.
It's a threat to free speech around the world and must be opposed.

Foreign tourists could be required to disclose 5 years of social media histories under Trump administration plan
The Customs and Border Protection proposal would apply even to countries that don't require visas to enter.

This week, Senate Republicans gave LIFETIME judicial appointments to more anti-abortion fanatics who support fetal personhood—the dangerous idea that a fetus should have the same rights as a pregnant woman.
They're hoping you don't notice. I won’t let this fly under the radar.

This is very good. I like to remind people that headlines in the 80s would (regularly!) talk about people who drank lattes or ate sushi as exotic, self-indulgent yuppies with obscure tastes. Media constantly made fun of “haute cuisine” meals with tiny portions because fine dining was bad.
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Killing is bad, and to that end I'd like to call attention to the dozens killed in small boats in the southern Caribbean by the Trump Administration and the estimated 600,000 who've died of preventable disease and starvation thanks to the administration's destruction of USAID.

After expanding Medicaid to include dental and vision in Kentucky, our team delivered 65,000 eyeglasses and over 3,000 dentures in 2025 alone. Research has shown these services can change lives by helping folks find employment, and I'm proud we're seeing those benefits firsthand.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.

"Social unionism" meant the union did more than fight for better wages. It provided affordable housing, health benefits, and unemployment insurance. Since many garment workers were newly arrived immigrants, the union would also teach people English.
