"Would it be legal for the German government to invade the United States and arrest the American president? Or is it only the countries with the most guns who have that right?" Absurd actions require pointed questions.

Jeffries: "This is a law enforcement operation that involved an elite unit of the military, it involved direct military strikes in Venezuela. And we're supposed to believe this was a law enforcement action? Make it make sense. It was military action without explicit approval by Congress."

The Constitution is clear:
Congress has the power and responsibility to authorize the use of military force and declare war. Congress has a duty of oversight. Congress must serve as a check, not a rubber stamp to the President.
On these counts, Congress has failed.

January 6, 2021 was the most shameful day in American history. It should live in infamy. We will never forget it, and we will not let the nation or the world forget — despite the revisionism of Trump and his lackeys in the Republican Party.

Pete Hegseth, a former cable news personality and the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in history, coming for a decorated combat veteran and astronaut over military conduct is deeply unserious.

What the headlines didn’t say was that Q4 2025 sales outside of China were mostly made up by the new “cheapo” Model Y Standard, which starts at $39,990 in the US, but lists as low as $34,663 in Korea (implying $8,000 in losses after shipping fees).
Tesla's Q4 is Way Worse Than the Headlines
Tesla rammed through tons of cheap Model Ys in Asia and Europe during the last 2 months of 2025. Profit margins in Q4 2025 and this year should be razor-thin to negative.
