Machado offered to share her Nobel Peace Prize with Trump if she could run Venezuela.

Maduro’s VP offered to give Trump 30 million barrels of oil if their regime could remain in power.

Trump took the oil.

Five years ago, our great American democracy was put to the test, and Donald Trump failed it.

The danger he poses was clear then, and it remains clear now. We must never forget that.

Walz: "This is a concerted effort to try to destroy the president's opponents, to destroy the rule of law. And it became apparent to me that he was going to do that with me being there, and I just feel along with my family that it's the best decision for Minnesota."

Pretty wild how fast MAGA went from “no new wars!” to “Invade Venezuela, bomb Iran, bomb Nigeria, destabilize Cuba, attack Colombia, threaten Mexico, and annex Greenland!!”
TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?

MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO

T: So force is on the table?

M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

Standing up against quartering government employees.
“No room at the Inn” is a biblical reference about immigrants (Jesus’ parents) being turned away. Not the government. Way to go, Hilton! The 3rd Amendment protects private entities from having to house the government.

This reckless move by the Trump Administration has nothing to do with science or informed choice – it’s about appeasing a debunked anti-vaccine agenda being pushed by RFK Jr. and his allies.

I strongly condemn this decision that puts infants and children at real risk.

This is superb, from Sen. Kelly.
Please watch.

Insider note: First sentence of Kelly's presentation is uncannily powerful echo of my favorite TV ad ever. "Imported from Detroit," 15 yrs ago

Serendipity? Embedded memory by Kelly people? Perfect for both.

As someone working on population health, one of the things I find most vile about the MAGA/MAHA leadership is: they cancel the surveys that tell us which kids are most vulnerable

In Sept 2025 they canceled the Household Food Security Report—which told us which areas had the greatest need for food 😢
‼️How incredibly dangerous

These are kids covered by Medicaid/CHIP—disadvantaged kids

If we don’t have data on vaccine coverage, we can’t identify communities most at risk of harm or death from outbreaks

💀RFK Jr’s anti-vaxx MAHA movement is a death cult

Great reporting by @lizszabo.bsky.social👏
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), run by Oz and his boss, RFK Jr., will no longer require physicians to report vaccination rates.

Instead, they plan to start having doctors report if they’ve discussed “alternative” vaccine schedules.

The federal government is completely controlled by Trump. The Supreme Court is dominated by his appointees and fascists. Both parts of Congress are controlled by MAGA. Nothing can be done at the moment. We must turn out the vote this year or things will only get worse.

Thanks for sharing this reminder we now must all remind our representatives as soon and quickly as possible. Overwhelm their phones and leave messages!
The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.

I want to make sure this is very clear.

He watched it from his house.

Not from the seat of government.

And experienced it as a TV show.

He is a non-president.
The WH released photos of Trump watching the operation live from a makeshift “war room” at Mar-a-Lago.

Trump went on Fox News this morning and said he watched it like “a television show,” praising the “speed” and “violence” as “an amazing thing.”

Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine.

We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

Right now there are tens of thousands of armed Maduro/party loyalists, many Cuban trained, operating inside of Venezuela. They won't go quietly. There are two options:
1. You fight them (Iraq
2.0)
2. You pay them (later
Iraq 2.0)
This all takes time too. Not easy!

These freaks want territorial expansion and they know Trump will do everything he can to deliver.

This isn’t just a tweet from some random asshole either. This is Stephen Miller’s wife. Miller was in the room with Trump during the kidnapping of Maduro.

Ok let’s keep playing this.
Trump on why he pardoned notorious drug trafficker Juan Hernandez: “It was a Biden set up. Take any country you want. If someone sells drugs in that country, that doesn’t mean you arrest the president and put him in jail for the rest of his life.”

I doubt that Venezuelans will show up in funky costumes when Trump tries to run the country. Portland it ain’t.

Self-defense? By the invaders? Where did Caine go to school?
Caine, in what happened when the military invaded Maduro’s compound: “On arrival into the target area, the helicopters came under fire, and they replied to that fire with overwhelming force in self-defense.”

We’re going to be reading that sentence for years.
