This will further damage our reputation – already hurt by Trump’s policies around the world – and only isolate us in a time when we need our friends and allies more than ever.

This strike doesn't represent strength. It's not sound foreign policy. It puts Americans at risk in Venezuela and the region, and it sends a horrible and disturbing signal to other powerful leaders across the globe that targeting a head of state is an acceptable policy for the U.S. government.

Secretaries Rubio and Hegseth looked every Senator in the eye a few weeks ago and said this wasn’t about regime change. I didn’t trust them then and we see now that they blatantly lied to Congress.
President Trump said on Saturday that the U.S. had captured the Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro. Follow live updates. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Good morning, Glasgow. It's a clear, but chilly start to the day, but the rather spectacular sunrise made getting up and about early well worth the effort.

On the spur of the moment, I decided this morning to head up to Loch Lomond for New Year's Day dip, and to take a picture of the Milarrochy Bay Oak, one of Scotland's most photographed trees.

On this day a person was born who healed the sick, comforted the suffering and gave the world compassion when it needed it the most and that legacy still continues. Happy Birthday Clara Barton!

This isn’t just a loss for Trump’s lawlessness, it’s a win for the American people. We have laws; you and your family are safer when everyone — including the President — plays by them.
The Supreme Court has barred President Donald Trump from deploying the National Guard to Chicago to protect ICE agents, handing the White House a rare loss at the high court as the president has sought to send troops to multiple American cities. https://cnn.it/49vMygj

Greenland has announced it will annex the United States, citing humanitarian concerns, chronic leadership instability, and an urgent need to protect valuable land from reckless mismanagement. Officials assured Americans they'll soon enjoy free healthcare, quieter politics, and less gold plating.

Lawrence O’Donnell’s MSNOW show has 2 Epstein survivors blasting DOJ for failing to properly redact names, leaving some survivors‘ identities newly revealed. They suspect DOJ’s top priority is to protect other people — not the survivors. “We’re being re-traumatized by our government.”

The woman who made being Jewish the central part of her identity has now suppressed a story about concentration camps.
Bari Weiss going from purported brave defender of free speech and open debate to chief censor of reporting about a federal concentration camp is so grimly hilarious

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.
