It needs to be said. On repeat.
The answer to our immigration crisis is readily available, and always has been. It requires political leaders (let’s call them Democrats) to tirelessly advocate for legal solutions — paths, programs — to be enshrined in law. 1/

MAGA's supposed "anti-interventionism" is actually pro-pillage and pro-plunder.
Trump says Venezuela's oil wealth "goes also to the United States of America in the form of reimbursement for the damages caused us by that country"

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.
Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they?

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Stop saying that all Schumer and Jeffries ever do is write strongly worded letters. Bullshit. They're not strongly worded at all.

gunboat diplomacy but without all those silly trappings of legality and civilization.
A former staffer said that U.S. officials would not be performing a formal occupation like in Iraq. “We’re going to tell them: ‘Hey, this is what you have to do in order for there not to be another strike. That’s what [Trump] sees as running the country.” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Quick update for US media: the story is not about Maduro or what’s going on in Venezuela. It’s about the massive rupture in US history where the country now stands for invading and occupying any country it likes.
Trump in his press conference made it very clear this is a new age. Did you miss that?

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

The demonization of Somalis is no different than the demonization of Haitians before the election. It's a political attack and has to be actively fought—not through half-measures or expressions of tepid concern but by demanding decency from society and respect for all of humanity.

It means that some people push for civil language, which they use to mask the fact that the things they’re talking about are attacks on other people’s rights and freedoms. For example, many people want a “civil debate” about whether or not trans people should be respected and have healthcare…

Great for morale how another round of completely damning legal records comes out, no one faces any consequences, we see again how fully congress has abdicated all of its responsibilities, Roberts has picked his man, and that's that

Trump allowed the richest man in the world to condemn potentially millions of people to death. In a just world, this moral atrocity would follow all involved — Musk, DOGErs, Vought, Marco Rubio and Trump — like a trail of blood for the rest of their days.

Did the United States really spend trillions of dollars on winning the Cold War, only for its president in 2025 take orders from a Russian dictator?
This is an earth-shattering humiliation for America of which its reputation may never recover.

This struck me too. As Anne Applebaum doesn’t mention, she wrote a classic history of the Gulag.
The CBS investigation portrays a modern concentration camp, similar to the Soviet GULAG (like CECOT, an acronym): sadistic guards, 24 hour lighting, isolation cells.
Americans once opposed this inhumane system.
The Trump administration sent innocent people there to suffer.
