Right now the U.S. is amassing "the largest U.S. military deployment in Latin America since the Cold War" to provoke a war against Venezuela.

Also rumors of widespread power outages and GPS jamming in Venezuela, airspace closures around US operating areas in Puerto Rico, and some coy comments from the political sphere. We may be striking Venezuela tonight.
Various pizzerias nearby the Pentagon are reporting above average traffic.

The last time pizzerias near the Pentagon reported such high activity was right before the start of Operation Rising Lion, when the United States destroyed Iran's nuclear weapons development facilities.

The federal government keeps labeling everyone they go after as cartel members — and it keeps being proven false. These are the same people we’re supposed to trust when they execute people at sea under that very justification?

A scoop that I’m not happy to report:

CBS News has gutted its climate change reporting team, one of the best in the business, and one of the only ones on cable news that consistently called out fossil fuels as the main source of climate pollution.
