Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:
-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

If you asked everyone in the country, “Quick, name two charismatic people with a much needed perspective who have been shut out of The Discourse,” Prince Andrew and Martin Shkreli would get more votes than these two.

There are 50,000 food insecure children in Maine and 2 trans athletes. Every single candidate running for office who can drum up concern about the latter but has nothing to say about the former is telling on themselves. They don’t care about children. Only power. And they’ll hurt kids for it.
25 Nov 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- In unusual move, Sen Susan Collins (R-ME) signs petition for referendum on the 2026 ballot that would bar trans students from sports teams, locker-rooms and bathrooms. She's in a hotly contested election & this is pbly one way to increase Rep turnout.

Meanwhile Trump’s assault on the BBC continues its ever-rippling impact.
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

This is exactly what the recent Trump-BBC 'scandal' was designed to achieve. The BBC is now self-censoring criticisms of Trump in the name of "impartiality"

Somewhat notoriously, Dad loved all sorts of pens, including the Parker Rollerball.
To this day I have no idea why he taped the cap on the end.

This is one of the most damning videos I’ve ever watched of Farage.
He essentially admits being racist at school - only says he didn’t do it “with intent”.
The quiver in his voice at the end - he knows he can’t squirm out of this one.

I think we need to impeach 6 SCOTUS justices for putting politics ahead of their duty to the Country.
Presidential immunity is not explicitly in the U.S. Constitution; it is a legal doctrine that has developed through court decisions over time.
It is always up for interpretation

If MTG truly believes that she can run for president, she would do well to read the Epstein client list into the congressional record, then move to vacate the Speaker’s chair. Might as well go out with a bang.

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.

🚨Fuel price caps are forcing Russian stations to sell at a loss.
Before expenses, AI-92 is -2.1 rubles and AI-95 is -1 ruble per litre. And after expenses across all fuel types, it's -6.3 rubles PER LITRE. Unsurprisingly, stations are closing.
Expect 2026 to be disastrous.📉💥

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.
