Trump announces another strike "just off the Coast of Venezuela" that killed 6 people

Under my Standing Authorities as Commander-in-Chief, this morning, the Secretary of War, ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility — just off the Coast of Venezuela. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking narcotics, was associated with illicit narcoterrorist networks, and was transiting along a known DTO route. The strike was conducted in International Waters, and six male narcoterrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike. No U.S. Forces were harmed. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!

Considering the fact that Antifa means anti-fascism, you would expect for most people to be antifa unless they are, in fact, pro-fascism.

This is basic logic and I don’t understand why we have to keep explaining it.

The 7th Circuit temporarily allowed Trump to keep the National Guard under federal command in Illinois, but blocked its use for active deployment. While troops cannot be used in Chicago for law enforcement, the president will retain command over them.

In case you got lost in the steaming pile of bullshit Speaker Johnson’s been shoveling, the shutdown fight Democrats are holding the line on is about healthcare for hard-working Americans.

Leader Jeffries isn’t flinching, isn’t wobbling; he’s been consistent and hasn’t wavered on this issue.

The image presents a powerful and urgent message through bold, contrasting typography. The words are arranged in a block format, commanding attention with the use of large, capital letters. The phrase reads:

"THIS MADNESS ENDS WHEN ALL OF US RISE UP AND SAY NO."

The word "MADNESS" and "ENDS" are in a strong, off-white color, creating a stark visual contrast against the dark, almost black background. The middle phrase, "WHEN ALL OF US RISE UP," along with the word "NO," are highlighted in a deep red, emphasizing the call to collective action and resistance.

The design’s simplicity enhances its emotional impact—there is no imagery, just text, which makes the statement universally applicable and direct. This evokes a sense of urgency, resistance, and solidarity, often associated with social or political movements where widespread participation is crucial to effect change.

Symbolically, the phrase "say NO" is a rallying cry to refuse acceptance of a situation described as "madness." The use of "madness" suggests chaos, injustice, or oppression, implying a collective awakening and rejection can bring an end to these conditions.

Overall, the poster taps into the language of protest art, using text as a visual and communicative tool to inspire unity and defiance.

Trump to the Israeli Knesset: "We had a very weak administration. Worst president in the history of our country by far. And Barack Obama was not far behind, by the way. They did nothing with this incredible document -- the Abraham Accords."

Trump, 79, is increasingly having problems with chronology. Sir, the Abraham Accords happened after Obama left office. And Biden was not President on January 6, 2021. Over to you, Jake Tapper!

New in PN: Republicans are totally full of it on healthcare.

It becomes more obvious every time they talk about it. And it's a big reason the shutdown is turning out to be such a disaster for them.

She called it. Kamala Harris laid out Trump’s vengeance agenda before it even happened.

One line that stuck with me most from 107 Days was when she wrote that during the debate, Trump was “unburdened by the truth.”

He’s also unburdened by threat of accountability, thanks to the Supreme Court.
