Donald Trump and the Power of the Little Lie
The war against Venezuela isn’t about drugs. It’s about the destruction of regular order.

What oil, what land, what assets did Venezuela steal from the US? And when? A social media post from an alternative reality.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

the thing they don’t seem to get is that outside the right-wing ecosystem, no one even knows who they are. after charlie kirk’s death my normie friends were all “christ who IS this guy,” so yeah, i’m not surprised there isn’t much audience for the wife of that guy they’d never heard of.

AP on Trump now, and Biden in June 2022.

For Trump, declining to 36 percent approval is “good news.”

For Biden, holding steady at 41% is “a source of concern.”

Seems a little wild that DHS would call me out by name and say that this scene is offensive to Christians. I like seperation in my church and state. Moreover, what's offensive to Christians is the dehumanization that DHS and ICE are practicing. That is evil and an offense to God - not my nativity.

GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now

Republicans' proposal was.... the ACA. That's why it took the form it did, but since Obama could do no right, they had to define themselves in opposition to it.

There’s a whole lot of folks nervous about needing Maga voters. We don’t. They are about 30% of the Republican Party. We just need the previously apathetic voters to vote. Economics will help.

…and then the rest of the White House press corps pushed back against the president’s gratuitous insult aimed at one of their colleagues?

Oh wait! There’s no sign that anything like that happened!

Dr. Oz is clearly a moron who, incredibly, doesn't understand anything about how the insurance system works.

But also: Conservatives genuinely believe that people want to spend endless hours "choosing the insurance that's best for them." They don't. They want good, secure health care. It's simple.
Dr Oz: "If you had a check in the mail, you could buy the insurance you thought was best for you"

If that's Giuffre's name under the redaction bar, then prove it. Remove the redaction. You've already told us it's Giuffre, so you wouldn't be doing anything illegal. So reveal it. Or can't you? Because it's not her?
CNN: The emails that were released don't raise any Qs for you?

GIMENEZ: Not right now, no

C: The email where Epstein says to Maxwell that Trump spent hours at his house w/someone whose name is redacted who Republicans are saying is Virginia Giuffre?

G: Right. And she said Trump did nothing wrong

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

On what Trump's saying about Walmart's Thanksgiving dinner deal this year:

A) Yes, 2025's IS smaller.

B) If you take the 2025 package, add back the food it's missing from 2024, and take out the items 2024 didn't have, Walmart's 🦃 dinner package in 2025 costs 2.6% MORE than it did in 2024. 🤔
