Donald Trump is now reposting videos on Truth Social suggesting that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had Melissa Hortman assassinated.

This is objectively evil, and calling it out should not be political.

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.”

This is the thing.

There’s no reason to believe dictatorship is over in Venezuela.

The same government is in charge, just with a new leader.

Who will likely become more popular by opposing the U.S.
I feel like I’m going insane, there is, like, an actual Venezuelan government that still exists
With Nicolás Maduro out of power, the Trump administration is racing to assemble an interim governing structure for Venezuela.

It’s been clear for many hours now that Trump isn’t and won’t be “running” Venezuela. But because he said it, the elite media headlines it anyway.
How long before Trump aides start walking this back?
Don’t print lies in the newspaper

At a large rally in Havana near the U.S. Embassy, Cuban President Díaz-Canel sharply denounced President Trump’s bombing of Caracas, calling it an act of terrorism and a breach of international law. He further accused DC of “kidnapping” President Maduro and urged supporters to “stand up to fascism.”

NYT, WaPo learned of the secret US raid on Venezuela soon before it was scheduled to begin but held off publishing what they had at the administration's request to avoid endangering US troops

Don’t be fooled: you can’t both claim this was simply the execution of an arrest warrant AND say the U.S. is now "running" Venezuela & grabbing its oil resources.

Trump just admitted this was a clear regime-change play to enrich U.S. oil companies & his billionaire buddies.
Trump and his cronies can try to dress this up, but it is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro and grab Venezuela's oil for his billionaire buddies.

Full statement below:

it is extremely funny to tell everyone you're no longer gonna have experts on your news station and then immediately invite Pete Hegseth. Touché, CBS
A CBS News staffer told me this after Tony Dokoupil kicked off his CBS Evening News tenure tonight with a lengthy Pete Hegseth interview:

"If this is what Bari and Tony’s CBS Evening News is going to look like, then the we may as well just call ourselves Trump Administration State TV. Pathetic."

There's exactly one iron law of politics in the Trump age, and it's "everyone who gets close to Trump in any way ends up getting burned"
So Trump has:
-illegally abducted Maduro, which the neocons love, because they want the opposition to take over
-but then left his VP, who fully supports him, in charge
-but said she would follow his orders
-but then she didn't
-and now the Venezuelan opposition is also condemning Trump

It’s worth revisiting this NY Post cover from January 8, 2025 (a year ago), now that Trump is invoking the name “The Donroe Doctrine” to describe his plans.

New Year’s Challenge: Stay off social media

Aaaargh, but yes, I will aim for 2 weeks

Sorry but The Felon needed to be in jail rather than in the White House

Sexual abuse of any kind is unacceptable and dangerous, especially from a leader who provokes others

Is anyone else up for the challenge?
